Aspartame (E951) is consumed daily by millions of people. The sweetener is being used in over 6000 products. Aspartame was approved by the FDA back in 1981. The approval was the most contested in history because aspartame caused cancer in lab animals.

The ingestion of the widely used sweetener called aspartame, better known as Nutra Sweet or Equal, may just be responsible for what the authors say is a dramatic increase in the number of people who develop brain tumors. Consumer advocates and researchers have become more vocal about what they say may be aspartame’s adverse effects. They asking the Food and Drud Administration, the FDA, to take another hard look at aspartame.

Better known by its brand names Nutra Sweet or Equal, aspartame is the most popular sugar substitute in the world. Since the FDA approved it back in 1981, aspartame has become a multi billion dollar industry. What most consumers don’t know is that aspartame’s approval was one of the most contested in FDA history. Consumers have reported more than 7000 adverse reactions to the FDA ranging from dizziness to headaches to seizures. But the makers say it is the most tested food additive ever, and that it’s safe for the tens of millions who use it worldwide.

Aspartame was discovered in the mid-60s at GD Searle, the Chicago drug company. So it was bought by Monsanto and then was spun off to form the Nutra Sweet Kelco Company. The FDA originally approved aspartame back in 1974, but FDA investigators soon found serious problems in some of the studies that Searle had submitted to the FDA and so a task force was able to investigate many of Searle’s tests.

Dr. Erik Millstone is a food safety expert at the University of Sussex in England. He’s been a critic of Britain’s approval of the sweetener for over a decade. He says that Searle’s tests are so flawed there’s simply no way to be sure that aspartame is safe.

Some scientists allege that the industry tries to influence research. Dr. Ralph Walton, a professor of psychiatry at Northeastern Ohio University’s College of Medicine, recently did a survey of aspartame studies. He found, that the results of industry sponsored research turned out very differently from the non industry sponsored studies.
I looked at the medical literature, addressing the safety of aspartame. I found 164 studies. 74 were funded by the Nutra Sweet industry. Every single one of them attested to the safety of aspartame. Of the 90 independently funded studies, 83 identified a problem.

If you are still smarting from the economic collapse in 2008, you’d better buckle your seat belt Dorothy, because Economic Armageddon is coming and the MSM (main stream media) is not talking about it.

A handful of patriots are voicing the issue, but no one is listening.

There are events unfolding and some yet to unfold that will leave you wondering how you are going to survive.

The mortgage problem, the unemployment problem, the shipping problem, the Afghanistan surge problem, etc.

A Perfect storm is brewing and nobody seems to care.

Add to it, the Biden, Powell, et. al. prophetic words of an impending or potential (almost certain) “terrorist” attack and you’ve got a complete and total Collapse (with a capital C) of the economy.

We’re talking destitute Americans in the streets. No money, no food, no homes, no employment…

California which represents 1/3 of the US GDP is talking about issuing I.O.U.’s. Imagine calling your bank and saying, hey, all I have this IOU from the state, can I pay my mortgage with it?

I’m trying to connect the dots, but you need to read the information.

Hopefully you will arrive at the same conclusion before it’s too late.

Shipping rates hit zero as trade sinks

“Freight rates for containers shipped from Asia to Europe have fallen to zero for the first time since records began, underscoring the dramatic collapse in trade since the world economy buckled in October…It has spread to core trade of finished industrial goods, the lifeblood of the wold economy.” Telegraph.co.uk Jan. 15, 2009

“A report by ING yesterday said shipping activity at US ports has suddenly dived. Outbound traffic from Long Beach and Los Angeles, America’s two top ports, has fallen by 18pc year-on-year, a far more serious decline than anything seen in recent recessions.

‘This is no regular cycle slowdown, but a complete collapse in foreign demand,’ said Lindsay Coburn, ING’s trade consultant.” Telegraph.co.uk Jan. 15, 2009

If that doesn’t make you shudder, then I suggest you go back to watching American Idol, or whatever mundane task you were doing, because you just don’t get it.

It means goods are not being shipped, think empty store shelves, because that’s what is next.

Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loans

“According to Huxley Somerville, a director at Fitch Ratings, $29 billion of these loans will reset by the end of 2009 and another $67 billion in 2010. The drastic increases anticipated on each loan are expected to cause delinquencies to more than double.” Motley Fool

The Coming Tsunami

The Mortgage problems are not over yet. If “Revelation” of the Subprime mess shook the Dow from 13,028 in June to a bottom of 7,552 on Nov. 20, 2008, what kind of effect can we expect from the ARM, ALT A, Agency loans that will start resetting in 2009?

Citi exposed to $60 billion in subprime loans – may need more cash.

“I would argue that the $18.3 billion in Alt-A loans are just as suspect and dangerous to the company as the subprime loans. While many subprime loans are made to homeowners with bad credit, the Alt-A loans were made to specuvestors with little or no documentation that will be unable to afford the new mortgage payments when these Alt-A loans reset or recast in the near future.” Huliq News

And that’s just Citibank. When are Fannie & Freddie, Bank of America, Wells Fargo and others going to announce?

What about the Investment Banks that are still stuck with these loans? What about the US Government who took out interests in Fannie, Freddie and others in the bailout, or as I like to call it, the “sellout” (as in, “of America”)

And NONE of this includes commercial properties/loans. Not one word from anyone, except one person and I can’t find his information.

How much exposure do the American People have in the Commercial market? No one knows.

Unemployment at 16-year high

In December, the number of unemployed persons increased by 632,000 to 11.1 million and the unemployment rate rose to 7.2 percent. Since the start of the recession in December 2007, the number of unemployed persons has grown by 3.6 million, and the unemployment rate has risen by 2.3 percentage points. Bureau of labor statistics.

Add to that, the Federal Reserve’s audacity to deny disclosure of nearly $2 Trillion dollars. As determined by the court, and I’m paraphrasing, that (bold) We the People are not party to what the Federal Reserve (a private corporation) does with its money.

Suddenly, conspiracy theories start to play themselves out…

North American Union
Civil Unrest
Martial Law
One World Government…

Sadly, I do not have a solution. I do however subscribe to the ideas that Peter Schiff and Ron Paul and other brave patriots have stated.

*Let the economy fix itself
*Stop printing money
*Let’s return to the Gold Standard
*Merge the Fed with Treasury (an Actual Government Entity)

You’d better be ready. Start preparing and don’t get caught in the downdraft.

The fact that shipping hit Zero in Europe means you’d better start stocking up on essentials.

We conspiracists have been telling you for months.

These are my opinions.

New York, New Jersey, Michigan, MA, TN, and many other states are depleting or have depleted Unemployment funds.

States are asking the Federal Gov for a Bailout. ($1 Trillion)

Obama asked for $875 BILLION plus the $300 Billion from TARP.

“The president-elect would devote 40% of the $775 billion to give taxpayers a break, but his party is urging him to put more into roads, bridges and other projects.” L.A. Times

That’s right, Democrats don’t want you to have tax breaks, they want to give it to big companies and government to “build” our infrastructure. You know, eh hmm, their friends.

Any guesses as to who might get a lion share of the contract (s)?

Halliburton and KBR

Halliburton announced that it would relocated it’s Texas based World Headquarters from Texas to Dubai. It will still maintain a corporate US office in Texas, but the CEO is moving UAE. (ABC news 03/11/2007)

Halliburton is no longer an American company, but they will probably get the contract, along with KBR.

The Federal Reserve is Printing More Money, thereby increasing Our National Debt. If you add up all debts and liabilities, it adds to about $53 Trillion (look it up).

Yet, Executives are getting Bonuses

And Nobody is disclosing where the money is.

* AIG ‘Retention Pay’ Rises to $619 Million

* Detroit CEOs to Get $1 Per Year? Not Quite. (see story)——>

* Morgan Stanley, which has received no less than $10 billion in bailout funds, paid out $2 billion in bonuses this year, according to The New York Times.

* Goldman Sachs, another beneficiary of billions in TARP funds, reportedly rewarded some employees with $200,000 cash bonuses.

* Members of the US Congress started 2009 with a 2.8 cost of living increase ($4,700 for 535 members) which amounts to about $2.5 Million.

” ‘ All 2.7 million federal employees receive a cost of living adjustment most years, which this year has been set at 2.8 percent for members of Congress and other senior federal officials, and 3.9 percent for rank-and-file employees,’ said Congressman Mike Thompson.” Lake County News

Bank of America just got a $25 Billion infusion, on top of the $15B from October. But they still plan on FIRING 35,000 employees.

BA stock went from $38 on Oct. 1, 2008 to $7 as of Jan. 16, 2009.

Do you remember the Secret FISA meeting from Mar. 13, 2008?

What was discussed?

There are several videos, but here is the list:

1. The Imminent Collapse of the US Economy to occur sometime in Late 2008.

2. The Imminent Collapse of the US Government Finances to occur sometime in Mid 2009.

3. The Imminent possibility of Civil War inside the US as a result of the collapse.

4. The Advance Roundups of insurgent US Citizens who are likely to move against the Government.

5. The Detention of those rounded up at Rex84 camps constructed throughout the US.

6. The possibility of public retaliation against members of congress for the collapse.

7. The Location of safe facilities for members of congress and their families to reside during this massive civil unrest.

8. The Necessary and unavoidable merger of the United States with Canada and Mexico establishing the North American Union.

9. The issuance of a new currency called the Amero for all three nations as an economic solution.

Aspartame is an artificial sweetener… an additive. And it’s a chemical..it’s not a natural product it’s a chemical. The molecule is made up of 3 components. 2 are amino acids, the so called building blocks… proteins. One is called phenylalanine, which is about 50% of the molecule, and the other is aspartic acid, which is like 40%. The other 10% is so called methyl ester which as soon as it’s swallowed becomes free methyl alcohol. Methanol. Wood alcohol, which is a poison, a real poison.

1965 Aspartame was was discovered by James M. Schlatter for G.D. Searle & Company while experimenting with amino acids.
1967 Dr. Harold Waisman conducts Aspartame safety tests on infant monkeys on behalf of the G.D. Searle & Company. As seven monkeys were being fed Aspartame mixed with milk, one dies, five others have grand mal seizures.
1980 FDA Board of Inquiry comprised of three independent scientists, confirmed that aspartame “might induce brain tumors”.
1981 G.D. Searle’s Company Chief Operating Officer, Donald Rumsfeld, reapplied an FDA certification for aspartame immediately after U.S. President Ronald Reagan took office.
1981 President Ronald Reagan apoints Arthur H. Hayes as FSA commissioner, who approves aspartame for use in dry goods. Ronald Reagan, Donald Rumsfeld, Arthur Hayes were working for the same people.

The FDA, G.D. Searle & Company, Monsanto, Nutrasweet Company, and Merisant are in control by the same people.

Here’s a quick summary of Codex Alimentarius goals and objectives, and this is from the National Health Federation:

-International (Global) Harmonization

-Abolition Organic Farming

-Introduction of GM food and livestock

-Removal of all ingredients labeling

-Restriction of all Natural Remedies
-To include all Supplements, Herbs, Vitamins, Minerals, Homeopathic Remedies, Flower Remedies, etc, etc

Globalization is definitely a key aspect. And we see this coming down the tracks and most people have really no concept about what’s coming. Because the powers that be, just as they don’t want you to know what the detail of Codex is all about, they don’t want you to know about the detail of the political agenda because it’s a little sensitive. So after the second world war, this is what the map of Europe would’ve looked like, well, twenty-seven different nations represented there. All responsible effectively for their own internal policy, philosophy, lifestyle. But of course since 1957, and the establishment of the Club of Rome which was initially an economic cooperation, or economic cooperative organization, but has grown into a twenty-seven nation superstate.

But this is only a start of things to come because while also Europe has been coming together as a superstate this has been happening in other areas of the world. We have the league of African nations, the League of Arab Nations, the Asian-Pacific economic community, the southeast Asia economic community, and one that’s coming really fast down the track is the North American Union. This is so eminent, it’s being brought about by the collapse of the dollar.

It’s called Rebuilding America’s Defenses. It’s written by an organization called Project for the New American Century. This particular document was published in September of 2000. And if you read it you’ll think this is like George Orwell on acid… it even has a couple paragraphs on the use of pharmaceuticals to enhance the performance of the military. Reducing fear, reducing the requirement for food and water effectively turning the military into a robotic force. So it shouldn’t surprise you that the U.S. military is guilty of so many atrocities.

And it shouldn’t come as any great surprise to you that the there’s a very common denominator between all the countries that are classified as the “Axis of Evil” – this Bush term. And it’s the countries like Cuba, North Korea, Iran, recently Russia. Anybody wonder why Russia has been demonized in the media basically for the last six months? All of the countries, well Venezuela of course, and an increasing number of Latin American countries, as Venezuela and Chavez starts to find ways to help these guys out of their debt to the World Bank… these guys, all of these countries that are a part of the axis of evil, are free of debt.

Donald Rumsfeld was the CEO Searle which is owned by Monsanto, and so developed aspartame and obviously wanted to get it into the food chain. Well the FDA resisted, because obviously there was research that proved that it was causing brain damage in young rats. But that didn’t stop the young Donald Rumsfeld. And as soon as Regan was appointed President he made sure, because he financed Regan’s campaign, he made sure that Regan removed the head of the FDA, and a few months later the new head of the FDA approved the use of aspartame in the food chain.

This particular report is the first ever mention, that I can find, of global warming. Now read this very carefully says “In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill… All these dangers are caused by human intervention… The real enemy, then, is humanity itself.” -published by the Club of Rome 1991

But Codex, or the World Trade Organization, decided that they would launch a case in the International Court of Justice in Luxembourg. And that case came to court on July 12, 2005. Now there’s a film, which I have some copies with me today, it’s called We Become Silent. Now this is a film that was made – it was a short film it was about 35 minutes. It was made immediately after that European court ruling, but before the international court ruling. And in that film what it tries to show is how the U.S. was able to resist the implementation of Codex in 1994, and try and get some enthusiasm for people to resist, in the EU.
But on July 12, the International Court of Justice overruled the EU.
July 12 ruling of the International Court of Justice in Luxembourg followed the July Rome meeting of Codex when the 85 countries present ratified the restrictive guidelines for dietary supplements. Canada and the USA were among them. Objections from China and South Africa are ignored. Just as in the original 2001 version, the current guidelines, of the EU Directive, (LISTEN TO THIS), strictly prohibit information about diseases being treatable by nutrients…

It is fundamentally illegal for a doctor to advise a patient, their condition may improve if they change their diet. This is outrageous.

And just in case anybody’s in any doubt, this henge is called the Georgia Guidestones, and it manifested mysteriously in 1980. And on it there’s I think twelve objectives and they’re carved out in twelve languages. I’m not going to go through all of the objectives, but you might be interested in a couple of them, because what the top one says “MAINTAIN HUMANITY UNDER 500,000,000 IN PERPETUAL BALANCE WITH NATURE“”
…under five hundred million, you know at least Pianka said a billion…

So why the vast increase in brain cancer and brain disorders since 1984? I’ll refer to a published study by foremost neuroscientist Dr John W Olney . He suggests one likely candidate. In 1983, the US population began ingesting significant quantities of a substance never before used for human consumption. Artificial sweetener aspartame.

Aspartame is an artificial sweetener… an additive. And it’s a chemical..it’s not a natural product it’s a chemical. The molecule is made up of 3 components. 2 are amino acids, the so called building blocks… proteins. one is called phenylalanine, which is about 50% of the molecule, and the other is aspartic acid, which is like 40%. The other 10% is so called methyl ester which as soon as it’s swallowed becomes free methyl alcohol. Methanol. Wood alcohol, which is a poison… a real poison.

The G.D. Searle Company and the quest to get approval for their product aspartame they conducted a study on animals in which they fed some animals like low dose, medium dose high dose of the product and they used controlled animals that supposedly didn’t get any of the product… When they submitted this to the FDA and the FDA looked at it, there was some question about the study. Well one of the scientist, a neuroscientist looked at some of this, he saw a lot of red flags ..said there’s some real questions here about tumors being caused by this product. Particularly brain tumors. So they ordered a study to be done by the bureau of foods which was the precursor to the FDA. …this is the report here. Basically what it shows is that either a lot of purposeful shenanigans was carrying on to get this product approved or as he states it..it was the world’s worst research.

…because I was such a high user of aspartame though primarily diet cokes and equal and …those are the primary ways, combined with the mountain of evidence and other testimonials of people who have had terrible symptoms of every type of malady that you could image. And when they’re removed from the aspartame the symptoms go away. that’s what you call strong if not direct evidence, very strong circumstantial evidence.

Suddenly, U.S. Attorney Samuel Skinner began preliminary employment discussions with G.D. Saerle’s law firm Sidley and Austin. The U.S. Justice Department urged attorney Samuel Skinner to proceed with the grand jury pointing out that the statute of limitations on prosecution would soon run out. Samuel Skinner withdrew from the G.D. Searle case, and assistant U.S. Attorney, William Conlon, was assigned to the grand jury investigation. Shortly afterwards Samuel Skinner left his job to work for G.D. Searle’s law firm. The assistant he left behind let the statute of limitations for run out on the aspartame charges. This assistant William Conlon was hired 15 months later by G.D. Searle’s law firm Sidley and Austin.”

In 1977, the FDA Chief Council Richard Merrill recommended to US Attorney Samuel Skinner, that a grand jury be setup to investigate G.D. Searle.

Donald Rumsfeld went into the company (G.D. Searle) after he left Washington… after Ford lost and that would be in 1977…was in business and he was the congressman from there. Then he went to the White House where he was White House Chief of Staff and then he became Secretary of Defense, so he took over the company and went in with a full team of politicians.

Under charges of improprieties Arthur Hull Hayes left the FDA, and was hired as a consultant for $1000 a day by a G.D. Searle’s public relations firm.

I said, you know, with all the technology that we have today, with all the advances in medicine and science, people are getting sicker. Has anyone noticed that? People are buying more pharmaceutical drugs to cure the very thing that these chemical companies started to begin with.
