Flap Your Lips Friday: Join The Fight For Sudan’s ‘Free & Fair’ Elections
Posted by Michelle Moquin on April 9th, 2010
The elections in Sudan begin on Sunday and it doesn’t look good, and that is putting it lightly; it is downright disturbing. Will the people of Sudan be able to express their political will without government obstruction? The Answer is ‘No.’ Will they be able to safely go to the voting booths or will they be met with media harassment and impediment at the polls? From what I have read, the latter is to be expected for the people of Sudan and even more so for the Darfuris. The president promises ‘free and fair’ elections (uh huh), but we all know with conditions such as they are, a ‘free and fair’ election does not exist.
Readers: If you want to be a part of helping the people of Sudan by demanding that Omar al-Bashir is prevented from using the results of a rigged election to legitimize his genocidal regime, sign up to receive important alerts about the election. So when action needs to be taken, you’ll be the first to know, and you can do your part to help.
Here’s an e-mail that I received showing you how to sign up for the alerts. I signed up and I am planning to take all the action that I can to help the people of Sudan. Will you do the same?
Dear Michelle,
Beginning Sunday, Sudan will hold multi-party elections for the first time in nearly 25 years, but as we all know: this vote will not be free, fair, or even credible.
With your help, we’ve been working to make sure that the US Government and our international allies don’t let Sudan’s fraudulent elections legitimize indicted war criminal Omar al-Bashir. That’s why we’re inviting you to join our Election Alert Network – a group of concerned activists who want to stay informed about next week’s vote and take action on behalf of the Sudanese people.
Sign up to receive important alerts about the election in Sudan.
We will be collecting and analyzing information about the election throughout next week, and will send you regular updates along with the most recent news stories from Sudan.
In the past two weeks, many opposition parties have withdrawn their candidates for President, or have announced they are considering doing so. In addition, many SPLM candidates have withdrawn from north Sudan, including Darfur, at all levels. Just yesterday, the European Union recalled its election monitors from Darfur.
We will keep you updated on developments like this and provide opportunities to take action. No matter what happens during the election, the activist community must be ready to respond. I hope you will sign up for our alerts and take action to help raise awareness about this important moment for the people of Sudan.
We are blessed with political freedom, freedom of speech, and freedom of association, even though there are those who try to prevent us from exercising those freedoms. Let’s do what we can for those who don’t have the freedoms that we do, and need our help. Let’s do what we can to fight for ‘free and fair’ elections for Sudan. Thank you.
Mike: More evidence that we are living in a fractured society, split in two: The bigoted whites against all others, who will do anything to divide and conquer until all that is left is white America.
Peace out…
Lastly, greed over a great story is surfacing from my ‘loyal’(?) readers. With all this back and forth about who owns what, that appears on my blog, let me reiterate that all material posted on my blog becomes the sole property of my blog. If you want to reserve any proprietary rights don’t post it to my blog. I will prominently display this caveat on my blog from now on to remind those who may have forgotten this notice.

HEALTH TRAPS IN GLUTEN-FREE DIET
A few years ago, my daughter’s best friend was diagnosed with celiac disease and, following doctor’s orders, her mother eliminated wheat, rye and barley from her diet and replaced them with gluten-free versions of bread, pretzels, cookies and all the other foods Lily loves.
She was pleased that there were so many gluten-free options and she expected that her daughter’s symptoms would quickly improve — but, she recently told me, it seems her daughter has more stomachaches than ever, not to mention some new complaints, including a chronic stuffed nose and a lump in her throat.
When I asked Daily Health News contributing editor Andrew L. Rubman, ND, what might be causing this, he nodded knowingly and said it is a surprisingly common problem.
He explained that some people aren’t avoiding gluten as completely as they believe they are… some weren’t diagnosed correctly or completely… and some may have fallen prey to a trap where they’ve effectively traded one problem for another.
We went through the various scenarios that could be causing Lily’s discomfort. If a low-gluten or gluten-free diet isn’t working for you… if your symptoms fail to improve… or if you develop new symptoms, as my daughter’s friend did, you may want to go through a similar exercise.
WHAT’S THE REAL PROBLEM?
First and most obvious, it may be that you are unknowingly still eating gluten. Besides the obvious, that you’re getting gluten from places you don’t expect it (such as sauces and medications), Dr. Rubman outlined two other possibilities.
Celiac disease or gluten intolerance isn’t your only digestive issue…
It could be that you have other dietary sensitivities as well. One common problem is that many people who are gluten-intolerant also are sensitive to cow’s-milk protein, Dr. Rubman said.
Symptoms of this intolerance include increased mucus production, postnasal drip, low-grade inflammation, trouble swallowing and a lump in the throat.
Another possibility is that your digestive problems are of a different nature altogether. For instance, you may be suffering from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or colitis.
Rubman’s solution: See your physician for proper evaluation and treatment. Generally speaking, a good doctor will first try to improve overall digestive function and elimination and then, if that’s not the answer, test for various intolerances and allergies.
Or, the culprit may be an unhealthy diet.
Gluten-free is not necessarily the same thing as healthy, Dr. Rubman said. If the mandate to avoid gluten in your diet leads you directly to the gluten-free aisle in your supermarket where you buy the same types of processed, packaged and frozen foods you were eating before, you’re likely solving one problem and creating another.
According to Dr. Rubman, many gluten-free products are loaded with unhealthy ingredients, such as sugar and saturated fat, which makes them taste better so that you will eat more of them.
You’re not eating gluten, but you still feel sluggish, bloated, fatigued and irritable. Also, Dr. Rubman notes, eating lots of carbohydrates (particularly simple ones) may further compromise an already sensitive gastrointestinal tract by encouraging the overgrowth of unhelpful bacteria and yeast, which in turn leads to acid reflux, stuffy nose and other ailments.
Rubman’s solution: Even gluten-free products should be looked at carefully for their overall healthfulness. Sugar is still sugar… fried is still fried… salt is still salt… processed is still processed.
The more you emphasize whole foods in your diet, the better you will feel — period. In place of wheat, barley and rye, experiment with nutrient-rich, tasty and naturally gluten-free alternatives, such as amaranth, buckwheat, millet and quinoa.
Try eating this way and see — it’s quite likely that within weeks of making these changes, your digestive disturbances will abate and you’ll have more energy, focus and immune strength… all of which will leave you feeling great.

It seems the right is in full foam. They are whipping up the base into a frenzy. A quick read of this mess shows that they disparage the Office of the President and anyone associated with the black man.

Obamacare + Immigration “Reform” =
Economic Catastrophe
Dear Friend of HUMAN EVENTS:
I’m afraid I have some bad news… and some worse news.
The bad news you already know. By enacting health-care “reform,” President Obama and congressional Democrats have rammed down the throats of the American people the most tyrannical and fiscally irresponsible legislative monstrosity in history.
The worse news is this…
As the Los Angeles Times recently revealed, these same radical leftists in the White House and Congress are moving ahead at warp speed to the NEXT big outrage on their agenda: an immigration “reform” bill that would combine with Obamacare like two volatile chemicals to blow our economy and society to smithereens.
If that sounds extreme, it’s not. As Milton Friedman once observed, “You cannot simultaneously have free immigration and a welfare state.” Yet that is exactly what the Obamacrats are preparing for America on a scale never before contemplated.
Even before Obamacare, the U.S. welfare state was a magnet for immigrants in search of government assistance. Now, the prospect of taxpayer-funded health care for all will make it well-nigh irresistible — especially when the only “punishment” for coming here illegally is to win “a path to citizenship,” which is the centerpiece of Obama’s immigration “reform.”
And make no mistake: Obama and his minions know that, as with health-care, they must enact immigration “reform” before the midterm elections or lose their chance forever.
That’s why we must act today to stop them in their tracks.

Bad to the bone: Osteoporosis meds linked to fractures
Women taking osteoporosis meds may be getting the opposite of what they’re looking for… because instead of protecting bones, the latest research finds that these drugs could be breaking them.
Two new studies show how some otherwise healthy women who take bisphosphonate meds for five years or longer can suffer from sudden fractures of the femur–a bone in the hip.
And for these meds, five years is nothing–these are drugs many women are expected to take year after year, from now until the end of time… or at least until a sudden, tragic bone break.
One of the two studies, which were both presented at the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons annual conference, found that some women who take these meds begin to show signs of brittleness in the bones after four years.
Naturally, the FDA says there’s not enough evidence of a link between these meds and the bone breaks–and the agency is telling women to make sure they keep taking their bisphosphonates.
Since these drugs–which include Boniva, Fosamax, Reclast and Actonel–did $3.5 billion in business last year, you have to wonder who the FDA is protecting: ordinary women, or a powerful industry.
But in reality, bisphosphonates aren’t even necessary for most women. A good diet and careful nutrition can do far more to protect you from osteoporosis than anything you’ll find at the pharmacy.
Many women take calcium–especially those little chewy candies–for years and think they’re getting everything they need for bone health.
They’re not, because calcium alone isn’t the answer. Vitamin D is essential to the absorption of calcium… and most people, men and women alike, aren’t getting enough.
If you’re not spending a little sunscreen-free time outdoors each day, be sure to take a natural vitamin D3 supplement. In fact, you might want to add a supplement anyway even if you are getting outside, since everything from clothes and makeup to cloud cover and the seasonal angle of the Earth can impede vitamin D production.
You’ll also need more magnesium–another nutrient that most people are lacking. You can get it from a supplement, or from terrific foods like nuts, beans and dark green veggies such as spinach.
Finally, drink a little more beer. As I told you a few weeks ago, India pale ales are loaded with the dietary silicon your body needs for healthy bones.

Here’s a story that will warm the heart. A 92 year old man died and left SF a handwritten will to leave his money to the homeless. It is a long a complicated tale, but worth the read.
======================
By FRANK BRUNI
SAN FRANCISCO, May 15— It was a gesture, and a tale, that had tongues wagging and hearts swelling throughout this often blase city.
In a handwritten will nestled in a safe deposit box, a 92-year-old Polish immigrant who had lived humbly and died alone bequeathed everything he owned to the city’s poor and needy.
And what he owned, to the astonishment of the city officials charged with handling his estate, turned out to be more than $4.5 million, mostly in stock.
But with a sum that lofty, the simple story was bound to get complicated, and so it has. This week, city officials revealed that relatives of San Francisco’s posthumously beloved benefactor, Zygmunt Arendt, had retained a local lawyer to investigate the validity of Mr. Arendt’s will.
What is more, city officials said that ever since the announcement of the bequest two and a half weeks ago, they have fielded a barrage of phone calls and personal visits from people clamoring for the cash.
While some represented legitimate social service organizations, others had questionable claims. There was, for example, the woman with the unverifiable assertion that she had been Mr. Arendt’s private caretaker for nearly a decade, and that he had promised every last penny to her.
There was also the vagrant who loitered outside the office of the city’s public administrator, Ricardo Hernandez, the official managing the estate.
”I’m needy,” he needlessly reminded Mr. Hernandez. ”Can I get some of that money?”
Mr. Arendt’s relatives — a brother and two nephews in Germany — have not yet decided whether to contest the will, said their San Francisco lawyer, Dennis Sullivan.
But he said that Mr. Arendt never stopped corresponding with family members in Germany and there was no sign he had soured on them.
Mr. Sullivan also said that he had unearthed four previous wills, all prepared by lawyers between 1966 and 1977, in which Mr. Arendt named relatives as heirs.
The fact that his last will was handwritten in 1989, when Mr. Arendt was 83, raised questions about his mental competence, Mr. Sullivan said.
Asked if he felt like a Grinch to be pressing for answers, Mr. Sullivan said, ”You mean, taking down the new patron saint of San Francisco? I don’t worry about that. I don’t even know how this is going to end.”
It started so poignantly. Mr. Arendt died of pneumonia and related complications on Jan. 24 at Davies Medical Center here.
Because hospital officials were not aware of any relatives or close friends, they contacted Mr. Hernandez’s office, which sorts out the estates of people, many of them poor and living in single-room occupancy hotels, who die without known heirs.
Mr. Hernandez had certainly encountered surprises before Mr. Arendt. One seemingly destitute, mentally ill man had amassed thousands of dollars in $25 bonds, payable upon his death to whomever happened to be on the newspaper’s front page the day he bought them.
There was $25 for Ronald Reagan and another $25 for Muammar el-Qaddafi, the Libyan dictator.
”It took us forever to convince the Treasury Department that he didn’t really want the money to go to these people,” Mr. Hernandez said.
When workers from Mr. Hernandez’s office visited Mr. Arendt’s house, they found five sparsely furnished rooms where Mr. Arendt had apparently lived a solitary, ascetic existence,
subsisting on bananas and canned tuna and sardines. He had never married, and he had not worked since 1965, when he retired from a job as a car inspector for Southern Pacific Railroad.
But meticulous notes and records in his house revealed one of his favorite pastimes — playing the stock market — and guided investigators to various bank accounts, the deposit box and his will. Other writings alerted investigators to the relatives in Germany, who were informed of his will.
Susan L. Frankel, a deputy city attorney for San Francisco, said she believed Mr. Arendt was of sound mind when he wrote the will, which was notarized. ”It’s clear, concise, legible,” she said.
But its execution is turning into something of a headache.
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors this week asked the director of the Department of Human Services to come up with a plan.
Ms. Frankel, meanwhile, continues to confront would-be beneficiaries, though she refuses to keep records of their requests.
”I thought that if we started taking names,” she said, ”there would be no end to the line of people who would be coming through the door.”

A Tale Worth Retelling
When an elderly man left the city millions to build apartments for homeless old folks, neighbors tried to block the project. Fortunately, they failed.
Comments (0)By Matt Smith Wednesday, Feb 4 2004
During the mid-1990s there was a former Weimar-era German soldier named Zygmunt Arendt who would occasionally stroll through San Francisco City Hall, stopping to chat with a mayoral aide he had befriended.
“From his appearance he could have been a street person himself. He was tall, thin, undernourished-looking almost, and extremely humble,” says Virginia Sunday, a former assistant to Frank Jordan who now represents the Mayor’s Office of Protocol at the airport.
“He just wanted the mayor of San Francisco to pay attention to the important issue of the poor.”
A couple of times Sunday passed along calls from Arendt to her boss.
“He was asking how he could contribute to helping the city’s poor,” recalled Jordan when I spoke with him last week. “I had no idea at the time that he had any money.”
When Arendt died in 1998 at age 92, former S.F. Public Administrator Ricardo Hernandez remembers finding nothing but saltine crackers in Arendt’s Mission District home’s cupboards, a few ratty clothes in the closets, and a pair of sneakers squashed into slippers on the floor.
But there was something else: dozens of carefully preserved notebooks, bearing accounts of stock purchases written with extra-thick, grade-school-style pencils.
“He was a patient, fortunate investor,” Hernandez concluded.
Arendt had invested and reinvested his pension checks, amassing a fortune now worth some $6 million, which he left five years ago in a handwritten will to San Francisco’s poor and elderly.
Last month, after years of probate court battles between the city and Arendt’s German relatives, and many months of meetings to assuage neighborhood activists, the Board of Supervisors decided to spend $3.8 million of Arendt’s fortune to create a supportive housing residence in the Western Addition for 40 poor elderly men and women.
Above the front entrance will hang a plaque saying “Zygmunt Arendt House.”
Zygmunt Arendt House
850 Broderick Street
New Construction
Partner: Community Housing Partnership
Approx. Completion Year: 2010
47 units
The Zygmunt Arendt House will consist of 47 new studio units to house homeless seniors in a 3.5-story, building in the North of Panhandle neighborhood of San Francisco.
The ground floor will contain community-serving offices, lounges and community meeting spaces, a laundry facility, and a kitchen and dining area.
The project will also feature a courtyard garden, landscaped roof deck, and solar photovoltaic panels to reduce electricity costs.
Prospective tenants will be referred by the San Francisco Human Services Agency (HSA). Extensive on-site supportive services will be administered by Community Housing Partnership, which will also provide property management services and retain long term ownership of the project.
Funding for the project is provided by the San Francisco Mayor’s Office of Housing, the Federal Home Loan Bank’s Affordable Housing Program, the CA Department of Housing and Community Development, and low income housing tax credits.
Construction financing is provided through CA tax exempt housing revenue bonds which will be purchased by Silicon Valley Bank.
The San Francisco Mayor’s Office of Housing will also provide a Local Operating Subsidy and the City of San Francisco Human Services Agency will provide funding for supportive services.

It fits our needs perfectly the advantage of immigration reform on the country: Greater supply of unskilled workers, a younger workforce, and skilled workers in needed sectors. But there is also a disadvantage of immigration reform like Greater poverty, more educational cost, lower unskilled wage levels, and increased danger of terrorism. Thanks to the post!

Immigrant Kid
I miss the point you are trying to make. I can’t make the connection between poverty and a greater danger of terrorism.
I see it as an opportunity for the immigrant to do what others have. I recognized that some of my fellow whites may attempt to do what we have always done. See to it that we as a race maintain our affirmative action advantage.
But today’s OTW has more help from the law and other whites like myself that don’t believe that we as a member of the white race should have the benefit of affirmative action.
Hence, I see the incoming new potential American citizen as an enrichment of the brain pool in America. That is what has made us the greatest country in the world.

MARIJUANA FOR MS — DOES IT HELP OR DO USERS JUST MIND LESS?
Does marijuana reduce the debilitating physical symptoms of multiple sclerosis (MS) … or does it just help patients care a little less about them? If you or a loved one suffers from MS, this could be a very important question.
It’s widely accepted that marijuana has some therapeutic value for MS-related symptoms, including for painful muscle spasticity.
In fact, clinical studies have demonstrated that when two of marijuana’s active ingredients, 9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD), are isolated and then combined into a drug, they can reduce muscle spasticity with only minor psychotropic effects.
Sativex, a pharmaceutical formulation of marijuana that is approved for neuropathic pain in MS patients in Canada but not in the US, contains both ingredients.
Yet for many, the intoxicating effects of marijuana’s ingredients are troubling.
With the hope of making a case for FDA approval here, researchers at the Global Neuroscience Initiative Foundation in Los Angeles selected six recent randomized controlled trials involving a total of 481 patients with MS who took oral preparations of combination THC and CBD extracts.
The findings are interesting — according to the admittedly subjective reports of the patients, the extracts relieved spasticity… but when several objective measures of spasticity (including a mobility index and patients’ “walk time”) were examined, no significant improvements were evident.
And, though the combination dose was thought to keep people from getting high, patients in each of the six trials experienced adverse effects in the form of intoxication and sedation.
The study was published last December in the online journal BMC Neurology.
GOOD STUFF OR NOT?
So — is marijuana helpful for MS patients? The answer, according to Moses Rodriguez, MD, a neurologist at the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine in Rochester, Minnesota, and a nationally recognized MS expert, is yes and no.
Dr. Rodriguez told me that although many MS patients (including some of his own) report that marijuana is effective in alleviating spasticity, he said that there are no standards regulating how it should be used and “the data proving its efficacy is weak and its side effects are worrisome.”
One challenge, he explained, is that scientists still don’t understand why marijuana helps. “We know that it works on receptors in the brain, but marijuana does not have a direct effect on the muscles, so it is difficult to break away the drug’s general well-being effects from its anti-spasticity effects,” he said.
He also pointed out that little is known about marijuana’s systemic and long-term effects on MS patients, which is of potential concern.
Therefore, Dr. Rodriguez remains “very cautious” about recommending marijuana to his patients, “especially when other agents are available on the market that can effectively control spasticity, such as baclofen and tizanidine,” he said.
(Note: There is also little data on long-term effects of these drugs and they, too, have side effects.) The National Multiple Sclerosis Society takes a similar stance — it does not recommend medical marijuana, citing “insufficient evidence of a clear benefit compared with existing therapies and issues of side effects, systemic effects and long-term effects.”
Dr. Rodriguez believes that there may come a day when new marijuana agents will be manufactured that offer the anti-spasticity effects without the side effects. Until then, he recommends staying with FDA-approved drugs for MS-related spasticity.

The Republicans and the greedy that follow them have an agenda. It is to frighten the ignorant with fears that the world as they know it are coming to an end.
The purpose for the Republican party is to rally white men to the polls to vote to keep the country firmly in their hands. The purpose for the likes of the Beck’s, Coulter’s, Hannity’s and the like is get them to invest in the schemes, books and investments they are pushing.
Here is an example.
How to Survive the Collapse
of Civilization!
What if the unthinkable happened? Could your family survive, even for a few weeks, without electricity… hospitals… water pumped in from miles away… and food trucked in from out of state?
If terrorists succeed in attacking the U.S. power grid with an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) device, they could throw America into the dark ages in a split second.
A new generation of drug-resistant “superbugs” could result in global epidemics that kill up to 100 million people.
And as Hurricane Katrina proved, the Federal Government’s ability to help during a national emergency is severely limited.
Find out what you can do to prepare to survive a terrorist strike… global epidemic… social unrest… or other serious disaster…
Dear Fellow American,
If there is one thing that gives America’s security planners nightmares, it’s the country’s power grid.
That’s because without electricity, virtually everything Americans depend upon for survival—food, water, heat, transportation and communications—would be threatened on a massive scale.
Yet experts warn that a single, split-second Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) from a nuclear weapon or EMP-producing device would effectively “fry” the nation’s delicate power grid and virtually all non-shielded electronic equipment within hundreds of miles.
The Implications are Horrific:
Without a large-scale invasion or even a nuclear war, parts of America could be thrown into the dark ages in an instant.
No lights.
No telephones.
No Internet.
No radio or television.
Even most vehicles would not start because of the electronic fuel-injection systems in most cars and trucks.
And That’s Just For Starters!
The Entire Financial System Would Also Collapse.
ATM machines would not work.
Banks would be shuttered.
Grocery stores would soon be looted.
Police would be paralyzed and helpless.
“If even a crude nuclear weapon were detonated anywhere between 40 kilometers to 400 kilometers above the earth, in a split-second it would generate an electro-magnetic pulse [EMP] that would cripple military and civilian communications, power, transportation, water, food and other infrastructure,” said a report from the Commission to Assess the Threat to the United States from Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) Attack, a blue-ribbon panel established by Congress in 2001.
Continued Below…
How to Survive a Nuclear
Attack or Accident
Seek shelter immediately. If you are in the vicinity of a nuclear detonation or the accidental release of radiation, seek shelter immediately. The majority of people killed at Hiroshima did not die from the thermal blast but from radioactive particles in fall-out.
Stay underground for 48 hours. The deeper underground you can go, the safer you will be. Try to find a basement or subterranean garage with a concrete roof. Radioactive energy dissipates to 1/100th of its initial strength within 48 hours so stay in your temporary shelter for a minimum of two full days, longer if possible.
Take potassium iodide tablets. The thyroid gland has an unusual capacity to absorb large amounts of radiation, which can be fatal; but potassium iodide tablets, such as RadBlock, saturate the thyroid with non-radioactive iodine so that it cannot absorb radiation. Take these tablets as soon as you learn of a nuclear incident.

Mass Starvation, Looting Possible
One U.S. colonel was even more blunt: An EMP burst would result, he says, in “mass starvation because food deliveries cease, urban deaths by dehydration as water systems fail, collapse of medical systems, breakdown of police functions, ineffectiveness of firefighters, loss of bank records, inability to move physically other than by foot, and a return of America to a “pre-industrial age state.”
Intelligence services fear that China and Korea (which already possess EMP capability) or Iran (which is actively pursuing it) could pass an EMP device to Al-Qaeda terrorists.
A primitive, medium-ranged rocket launched from an offshore freighter might be able to take an EMP device high enough to do the trick.
“In the opinion of many, it is not a matter of if we are attacked by EMP but when,” says Lt. Col. Gordon Cucullu, a former special forces veteran and EMP expert. “America has a surfeit of capable enemies—communists, dictators and terrorists—and they form a deadly connection committed to our demise.”
That’s why I’ve pulled together the very latest survival information from top experts and compiled it into an all-new 21st Century Survival Guide that I’d like to send you. It’s title is How to Survive the Collapse of Civilization.
In this eye-opening special report, you’ll discover simple, practical strategies for coping with a world temporarily without electricity or effective police patrols.
You’ll discover…
Why some type of social unrest may be inevitable as the global economy worsens…
The importance of a “take box”—everything you need to reconstruct your life in the event you have to evacuate your home and everything is lost.
The top 20 emergency supplies you need to survive any disaster, but especially a major terrorist attack…
Why survival retreats are nice but impractical for most people…
How you can prepare for social disruptions while living in a city or the suburbs…
The right way to back up important computer data so it can survive an EMP burst…
An easy, inexpensive way to protect portable radios and laptops from electromagnetic pulses, allowing you to stay in touch with the outside world if local communications fail…
Why having an ordinary bicycle can provide temporary transportation needs if energy supplies are cut off…
Practical ways to provide your home with low-cost “Amish” alternatives to high-tech living, including heating, lighting and cooking solutions…
Proven strategies for surviving a riot…
And much, much MORE!

The Continuing Threat
of Dirty Bombs
Terrorism experts believe it’s very likely that Islamic terrorists will successfully detonate a so-called “dirty” bomb—a conventional bomb that scatters radiological material—sometime in the near future.
The reason is largely technological.
Unlike an actual nuclear weapon, which requires precise engineering and access to enriched plutonium in order to split an atom, a dirty bomb can be made with ordinary explosives and radioactive materials.
Unfortunately, there are thousands of sources of non-weapons-grade radiological material, such as those used for medicine and in universities, available.
Most experts believe a dirty bomb’s purpose is primarily psychological—that is, to terrify a population rather than to actually harm it. That’s because tests have shown that radiation from a dirty bomb would be limited to a few city blocks, at most, and more people would be harmed from the explosives than by the radiation.
Nevertheless, if you live in an area in which a dirty bomb is detonated, you should take precautions such as swallowing potassium iodide pills and staying indoors.
If you’re really worried about exposure to radiation, you can purchase an inexpensive credit-card-size radiation detector (called a dosimeter) that will let you know instantly the level of radiation in your immediate surroundings.

Learning to Survive “Off the Grid” Doesn’t Mean Roughing It
The good news is that it’s possible to survive without utility-provided electricity. Groups of independence-minded pioneers have been doing it, and quite comfortably, for years.
A number of companies sell “off-the-grid” products designed to provide all the modern conveniences without access to centrally provided power systems.
These include everything from old-fashioned wood stoves and oil lamps to state-of-the-art solar power systems and natural-gas-powered refrigerators and freezers.
Many of these products are surprisingly affordable—and offer people “back up” systems that don’t rely upon government-provided energy.

What to Do When Food & Water
are Expensive, Scarce or Unsafe!
In good times, most Americans don’t give a thought to the nation’s food distribution system: They simply assume that when they go to the grocery store they’ll find plenty of healthy, inexpensive and safe food.
But as the global depression worsens and the possibility of a catastrophic terrorist attack still looms, that’s a dangerous assumption to make.
The truth is, the U.S. food supply system is woefully unprepared for economic turmoil. The reliability and safety of U.S. food supplies are more threatened now than at any time in history.
Serious threats to the food supply come from the collapse of food inspection systems… the bankruptcy of U.S. agribusiness companies—and the breakdown of food distribution networks in the event of a massive terrorist attack or social unrest.
And it’s no longer merely survivalists who are stockpiling food, either.
Last year, The Wall Street Journal’s Brett Arends warned that “maybe it’s time for Americans to start stockpiling food.” He added, “No, this is not a drill.”
In your copy of How to Survive the Collapse of Civilization, you’ll learn practical steps you can take right now to protect your food and water in the event of economic collapse or terrorist attacks.
You’ll discover…

Create a
“Victory Garden”
To Lower Food Costs
Victory gardens, also called war gardens or food gardens for defense, were vegetable, fruit and herb gardens planted at private residences in the United States, Canada and United Kingdom during World War I and World War II to reduce the pressure on the public food supply brought on by the war effort. In 1943, Americans planted more than 20 million victory gardens.
Today, millions of Americans are starting small vegetable gardens as a way to ensure they have plenty of fresh, nutritious food in the event of a breakdown in food supply networks.
With a little planning, it’s possible to create a family garden that produces enough food to feed an entire family. One family of “urban homesteaders” in Pasadena, California, living on a one-tenth of an acre lot, grows more than 6,000 pounds of organic fruits and vegetables a year.

Could You Get By Without
Doctors and Hospitals?
If there was one thing that 2005′s Hurricane Katrina taught America, it’s the need for self-reliance in emergency situations—especially when it comes to medical care.
That’s because, virtually overnight, this one hurricane eliminated many of the emergency services the people of New Orleans counted on in a crisis. Suddenly, people were without ambulance services, hospitals, even a doctor or nurse.
Two days after the hurricane hit, the Federal government declared a Public Health Emergency in the states of Alabama, Florida, Louisiana and Mississippi. Dozens of hospitals shut down. Thousands of incapacitated patients had to be evacuated.
The conditions in many medical facilities were horrific: No electricity… bodies stacked in stairwells… sweltering heat.
The citizens of New Orleans learned a hard lesson: In a wide-scale emergency, medical personnel often flee to care for their own families.
One emergency doctor recalled that all that could be done was to “provide the barest amount of comfort care.” He added, “We practiced medical triage at its most basic, black-tagging the sickest people and [moving] them [away] from the masses so that they could die in a separate area.”
That’s why it’s important you send for your copy of How to Survive the Collapse of Civilization.
In this eye-opening report, you’ll learn the steps you can take right now to prepare yourself and your family, to survive without routine medical care, including…
How to legally stockpile, store and rotate routine prescription medicines you need in case of a temporary collapse of medical services…
Why you should consider taking a basic Red Cross First Aid or EMT course sooner rather than later…

Saving Someone’s Life from Dehydration
One of the greatest tragedies of survival medicine is dehydration: that’s because severe dehydration can often be fatal and yet it is one thing that trained medical personnel can easily treat. As a result, the layman without a doctor or hospital available must learn how to cope with dehydration.
Severe dehydration can be recognized by dry skin and eyes, no sweating or urination, sunken eyes, fever, rapid heartbeat and low blood pressure. The secret is tiny amounts of fluid frequently. In an emergency, and assuming a patient can drink, you can make your own oral rehydration solution by mixing 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 3 tablespoons sugar and 1 liter (about 1 quart) of safe drinking water.
If a patient is unconscious and you do not have (or know how to use) an IV drip, you can use a simple field technique for providing emergency hydration to an unconscious person. Known as rectal fluid resuscitation, it involves carefully inserting a thin plastic tube in the patient’s rectum and then slowly dripping about 8 ounces of fluid (a cup) over a period of 15 to 20 minutes. This can be repeated every four hours. In the right circumstances, it can save someone’s life.

The Ultimate Terrorist Weapon: Smallpox!
Smallpox is a highly contagious, extremely lethal disease that killed between 300 million and 500 million people in the 20th century—five times more than all the people killed in all the wars of the past 100 years. Its eradication through a global vaccination campaign was one of the triumphs of modern medicine.
The last known case occurred in 1978—and it is considered to be the only human disease to have been completely eradicated.
Or has it?
The only known samples of the living virus are allegedly found in two heavily guarded laboratories—one in the U.S. and one in Russia.
However, if Islamic terrorists somehow acquired smallpox virus—perhaps through contacts in the Russian mafia—they could develop a biological weapon that would deliver a devastating blow.
One reason: While most Americans born before 1970 have been vaccinated against smallpox, the vaccine only lasts for five years! With the exception of some 650,000 U.S. soldiers, most young Americans have not been vaccinated at all and remain totally vulnerable to exposure…
“An attack using smallpox is a very real possibility, and the problem is that only a handful of countries in the world have enough adequate supplies for their own people,” said Randall Larsen, senior adviser to the Center of BioSecurity in the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.
In your copy of How to Survive the Collapse of Civilization, you’ll discover practical ways you can prevent becoming a victim of bioterrorism or deadly new epidemic diseases. You’ll discover…

A Global Flu Pandemic is a
Real Threat, Say Experts!
Everyone is worried about the recent outbreak of swine flu—and with good reason.
At this writing, over 90,000 people have been infected with H1N1 flu virus in 74 countries—from New Zealand to Nova Scotia.
And although this outbreak of swine flu has proven to be less deadly than originally predicted, flu strains frequently mutate and can be unpredictable.
The World Health Organization (WHO) now says “the emergence of an inherently more virulent virus during the course of a pandemic can never be ruled out.”
What REALLY worries experts is that a mutated form of the swine flu virus could spread far more rapidly—and infect entire populations in a matter of weeks. And if that happens, the U.S. government will be woefully unprepared to cope.
The 1918 flu epidemic started out rather mild and returned in six months in a much more deadly form killing 500,000 Americans and an estimated 100 million people worldwide. Fifty years later, in 1968, another epidemic of the “Asian flu” killed 700,000 people worldwide.
“The pandemic threat is real and continuing, irrespective of how much the perception of the threat may wax or wane over time,” said William Raub, who advises the U.S. government on pandemic preparedness.
Experts warn that swine flu—or a new drug-resistant infectious disease—could potentially kill thousands, perhaps millions. Find out what you can do to protect your family from epidemic disease—or biological terrorism!

Protect Your Wealth from Obama’s
Anti-Reagan Agenda
Dear Fellow Conservative,
President Obama didn’t attend the 20th Anniversary celebration of the fall of the Berlin Wall last November (he had another “date night” with Michelle, I believe). But if he had attended, I think I know what he would have said.
Turning to former Soviet premier Mikhail Gorbachev (who actually did attend), Obama would have declared, “Mr. Gorbachev, rebuild this wall!”
Indeed, I sometimes suspect that Obama’s sole approach to any policy problem is to ask himself “What Would Reagan Do?” and then do the opposite — while expecting the same results. So, for instance, Obama thinks that by raising taxes, increasing spending, and weakening the dollar he can restore prosperity just as effectively as Reagan did by cutting taxes, slashing spending, and strengthening the dollar.
Well, he’ll find out soon enough that he can’t. But in the meantime, what about you and me? How can we protect ourselves financially as Obama takes his wrecking ball to the entire U.S. economy?
To begin with, we have to face reality: In an age of soaring taxes, near-zero interest on savings, and the looming threat of hyperinflation, we can no longer afford to be passive with our money. We must take active measures to grow our portfolios through profitable investments and to protect it from the IRS.
That sounds difficult, I know. But it doesn’t have to be — if you get the right kind of financial advice from someone you can really trust. And if you don’t happen to know someone like that — well, fortunately I do.
His name is Mark Skousen — the brilliant free-market economist (with a Ph.D. and 26 books to prove it) whose award-winning investment newsletter, Forecasts & Strategies, has been steering subscribers to steady double-digit annual profits for nearly 30 years, through booms and busts and everything in-between.
In fact, Dr. Skousen is virtually alone among today’s investment advisors in having predicted — two years before, with the words “We clearly are headed for fiscal disaster” — the bursting of the credit bubble in 2008 (unlike the Wall Street whiz-kids who were too busy playing in their subprime-mortgage bubble-bath).
Not only that, but Mark Skousen’s record clearly shows he was equally ahead of the curve in having predicted — and shown his subscribers how to profit from — nearly every major other market trend of the past three decades, including:
The Dow’s 2009 rebound to 10,000 — which he predicted in March — when the Dow was below 7,000
The credit collapse of 2008
The tax-cut-fueled recovery of the middle Bush years
The tech-stock meltdown of 2000
The quadrupling of the NASDAQ in the ‘90s
The market crash of October 1987
The Reaganomics-fueled boom of the early and middle ‘80s
How does he do it? Dr. Skousen, you see, is that rare sort of investment advisor who can not only size up a particular company or stock on its own individual merits, but who can also see it in the context of broader economic and even geo-political trends (skills he honed as a CIA economist earlier in his career).
Nowadays, with our out-of-control federal government making and breaking companies — even entire industries — with a wave of its legislative and regulatory wands, you simply can’t risk being an investor without the kind of big-picture analysis that Mark Skousen brings to each one of his individual investment picks.
And that’s just the beginning of what Mark Skousen does for you in Forecasts & Strategies. Suffice it to say that you’ll find here all the tools, all the analysis, and all the advice you need to turn even a modest investment into a substantial fortune. The kind of fortune that can protect you from economic downturns like today’s, and assure you a prosperous, worry-free retirement.
But don’t take my word for it. Right now, you can get a full year of Mark Skousen’s Forecasts & Strategies for less than the average monthly cable bill — completely risk-free. Why not give it a try? I’m confident you’ll thank me later.

Sincerely,
Laura Ingraham
P.S. My friend Dr. Mark Skousen has just identified 5 “Obama-Proof” investments you need to own NOW to help you survive — and thrive — as Obama takes his wrecking ball to the U.S. economy . It’s all part of a FREE Investor’s Dossier Dr. Skousen has prepared called “Obamanomics and Your Money.”
