		<description><![CDATA[Dangers and questions about safety levels of transmissions and mobile phones.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In all countries there are regulations that determine the safety limits of radiation and emissions from phones and transmitters. Being recent technology, research material to determine data is limited but certain factors are receiving general attention world-wide after review of information and results over the last decade.</p>
<p>In Europe the result is that some countries have cut their electromagnetic emissions limits for mobile phone towers to a much greater and safer level than that used in Australia at present which is 4.5 watts per square metre. Switzerland and Russia have imposed much lower limits still and all countries remain cautious about the precise negative effects upon humans, stock and wildlife including birds that are displaying migrational behaviour and other symptoms of disturbance.</p>
<p>Most are concerned about the danger to children, particularly applicable in Australia where so many children have use of electronic equipment and phones from infancy. However it seems only one report of electromagnetic levels in the maximum range is found in Drummoyne in NSW.</p>
<p>The question of harmful results from exposure to this fascinating technology that has allowed a universal explosion of its use is hopefully and ongoing and monitored more regularly. Keen appraisal of current data instead of years past must be offered to reduce the public’s doubts about the degree of harm being done to living creatures.</p>
<p>For the time being with many questions unanswered regarding the use of mobiles and transmitter towers we should all be cautious, both individually in our limited use of phones and the limits we impose through government in allowing them to be constructed in our environment.</p>
<p>The limitations are for our general benefit. We all need to keep alert and demand to be informed upon these vital issues.</p>
<p>Australia is reported as having 18,000 mobile phone base stations, with only 99 at this point (May 2012) having been tested for safety.</p>
<p>How many are transmitting in <strong>your</strong> country?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Our natural environment is certainly changing – whether caused by humans or by commands of the mysterious forces of Nature itself.</p>
<p>For several decades we have been aware of the warnings that indicate serious problems for humans should our negative habits continue. One of these warnings was the book “Silent Spring” by the visionary, Rachel Carson.</p>
<p>We did not heed the warnings enough to prevent what is occurring because of our abuse of chemicals in our environment, the hazards in the atmosphere due to aeroplane traffic, the electronic technology that has proliferated so as to drown our airwaves with radiations that interfere with wildlife, and environmental negatives so numerous and too well-known to us all as we suffer the consequences.</p>
<p>For example, where we live, in a rural district where flocks of birds were once common and even a few years ago blue wrens, willy-wagtails, warblers, galahs and parrots of many kinds would be seen over the year, now our property is host to dominant and damaging species that have decimated the previous native bird population. We rarely see a butcher bird or wren now. The resident pee wees, currawongs are increasing. The latter is a definite raider that reduces the likelihood of more timid birds returning.  These factors are confirmed by other locals in the area.  Bird watching is now out of fashion.</p>
<p>Not only is a silent spring experienced now but also a silent autumn.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The subject of marriage has become a focus of political and philosophical disturbance and debate in many countries where enjoying freedom has eroded discrimination and given tolerance and now licence to wrongdoing. That is the point of view of those who believe that what is natural is right.</p>
<p>Time and energy is being spent in the presentation of a perverted idea of marriage in human culture in western countries termed as ‘gay marriage’ between two of the same sex. It is seen as an issue of ‘choice’ and ‘sexual preference’ to question nature and deny one’s birth sex.</p>
<p>In western countries as in Australia, if this issue is not speedily resolved by strong public stance that insists upon the retention of our traditional marriage custom, we are likely to find social changes that are totally destructive to our physical and emotional way of life. It would prove disastrous to family life.</p>
<p>Speakers at a recent rally in Parliament House organized by the National Marriage Coalition were vocal in their objections as reported in The Australian newspaper August 16<sup>th</sup> 2011. We need strong moral attitudes to prevail.  Many attempts are being made to pollute our minds into thinking black is white.</p>
<p>It is a serious issue we are now facing. If the effort to enshrine homosexual marriage as lawful succeeds it would not only make mockery of our traditional system of Law based upon natural ethics and principles but has the potential to hasten the eventual, or even immediate, destruction of our present civilization.</p>
<p>Throughout the world’s cultures sexual relationships between two of the same sex has been deemed unlawful and in some communities punished by death.  What is now posed is a complete overturning of traditional rules of sexual behaviour challenges all the laws of society but those related to health, hygiene, morals and spiritual principles upon which our civilization has advanced.</p>
<p>Scientific knowledge and rules of hygiene are ignored but little focussed in the case of homosexual behaviour, particularly in active males where sodomy involves anal entry – a factor known to transmit Aids and other diseases.</p>
<p>Once homosexual behaviour was considered to be an aberration and classed as a mental or emotional disease that should be responded to with compassion, tolerance and healed through psychological adjustment.</p>
<p>Now we are in danger of not only promoting physical sexual disease and psychological symptoms but of undermining forever the potential trust and loving relationship that is the ideal of natural male/female relationships.</p>
<p>All this is occurring because of weakness that has allowed our thought processes to be distorted. We have allowed insidious methods of persuasion to force us adopt ideas that deny logic and assume a tolerance and understanding of homosexual behaviour that most of us to not truthfully possess. Most healthy people when considering the subject impartially will feel abhorrence at the abnormal behaviour associated with homosexuality.</p>
<p>When are we to find the strength to take a moral stance as to what is right and wrong without apology?</p>
<p>Surely our concept of democratic freedom still embraces responsibility?</p>
<p>We are denying this democratic freedom by surrendering to destructive social trends that would deny decent human integrity and values.</p>
<p>The warnings are clear. It is now up to us.</p>
<p><em>Marriage between man and woman follows the natural law of procreation.</em></p>
<p><em>Marriage between man and man destroys the future procreation of the human race.</em></p>

		<description><![CDATA[Without the total implementation and maintenance of a single presiding System of Law we are inviting chaos.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;<strong>When even one American (who has done nothing wrong) is forced by fear to shut his mind and close his mouth, then all of Americans are in peril.&#8221;</strong> &#8211; Harry S. Truman</p>
<p>Without the total implementation and maintenance of a single presiding System of Law we are inviting chaos.</p>
<p>No other system of Law by whatever name it is called must be given credence if we wish to keep our integrity as a nation. We may have already undermined the system we inherited from our founding fathers by acknowledging to an exaggerated degree, the cultures of the thousands of immigrants we have allowed to become citizens.  We may have been dim-witted in not recognizing that equality amongst all people in our country was accomplished with the right to vote given to the indigenous community as well as to immigrants as is the spirit of democracy. But we were not perceptive enough to insist that every person of every race and background , in order to benefit themselves and the nation, must be committed in both ideology and sense of responsibility.  This reasonably would have been anticipated as a natural consequence.</p>
<p>However, we have been lax. There are no conditions that we strictly insist upon – such as a logical requirement that for the privilege of citizenship, the newcomer must be committed to speaking the English language, our traditional and fundamental means of communication,  either before or soon after arrival in the country.</p>
<p>There are so many aspects needed in Law Reform in our country and efforts are being gradually focussed toward many improvements. But change is far too slow to halt the downward escalation of our Australian culture and way of life.  We have granted concern to the culture of all others, but neglected our own ideals in the process.</p>
<p>There is pressure being exerted to allow Sharia law of the Muslim community. Already there is much conflict regarding the Aboriginal people who are caught between their traditions and the rule of law enshrined now in Australia. To yield to either and allow two or three systems of law to be recognized is leading us to further chaos and those who can think clearly and have foresight to consider the consequences should insist upon common sense and simple adherence to the principle enshrined in the statutes of our forebears. Courage is needed need to speak up and make others aware that we are in danger of losing the freedom that was the ideal and should remain the basis for achievement of quality life under a democratic system that respects both the state and the individual.</p>
<p>There are many flags that fly at Olympic Games and international events. But only one flag that symbolizes our nation and the pride we have as individuals to benefit and belong and that is the Australian Flag.</p>
<p>Regrettably our collective mind has been polluted and our natural pride diluted in our remembrance of the thousands of young men and women who have honourably died fighting to retain these values. We must not forget.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[freedom to speak our minds, freedom to communicate ideas, freedom to express honest feelings]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Although our lives are being pressured into particular channels and ways of thinking and we are chastised for thought that is original or against the commonly accepted attitudes, this attempt to curb our freedom of thought is less potent than controlling our speech.</p>
<p>Although both thought and speech are ultimately governed by us personally, there are external intrusive influences to make us cautious in expressing our viewpoint. Many may not wish to be labelled in some derogatory term that is not the common trend or passing fashion. They have a strong desire to feel socially included. This, in spite of the fact that commonly held attitudes are frequently proven wrong.</p>
<p>But a desire to want to feel part of a wider group can cause us to yield to oppressive but invisible social negatives that are stealthily eroding our morals, ideas and our sense of freedom that we previously enjoyed when individuality was respected. Now strong power groups are demonstrating their dominance and lust for more. This is reflected in the widespread downgrading and neglect of quality in many spheres of community life as money threatens morality and replaces sanctity. Materialism has made slaves of all who heed the greed and not the souls’ needs.</p>
<p>We are not fully aware of the changes that are undermining our freedom in our democracy as many occur over a period of time.</p>
<p>For example is our treasured right to free speech. This is integral to a concept of a civilized society. But there are increasing numbers of people who do not feel free to voice their genuine thought. What was posed as a science fiction consideration of ‘thought police’ is emerging as a potential reality that could inhibit speech and make cowards of us all.</p>
<p>As we must fight to be free to speak vocally, in print or by any other medium we must be alert to the negative changes that are occurring in our words and their meanings that by common usage destroy the original concepts and meanings in our language.</p>
<p>For example, we have the word ‘discrimination’.  In our fine English language Discrimination is the valued tool of human reason, whether it is used in relation to politics, religion, race, or science. Above all it is the noble tool of judgment and comparison that is the foundation for development of human intelligence.</p>
<p>Distinction is a tool of the mental faculty that helps us to discriminate, or to assess when applied to the basic good and bad, black and white, hot and cold and all other values where opposites are to be balanced in the course of learning how to live as a human being.  To have the word generally and consistently applied to racial bias is an aberration.</p>
<p>Such word abuses are becoming increasing popular as modern trends assert speed over studentship causing serious scholars pain as powerful words in our language are slaughtered.</p>
<p>Any word that one person uses can be misinterpreted by a listener.  It is only our dictionaries that should arbitrate and be respected when such reference is needed. Fortunately the need is not usual in the main in general discussion. However, we should all be aware how important are the words we use in our speech and cherish those that we find valuable in expression of the truth of our thoughts and feelings. To keep speech simple gives less likelihood of misinterpretation is often given as valued advice.</p>
<p>Beyond the words we use are our ideas, opinions and concepts.  It is the desire to communicate these to others that motivates our speech. Expression of our thoughts, feelings and philosophy surely should be opportunity to result in exchanges that may sometimes result in opposition, sometimes in agreement and at best, an enrichment and extended understanding that stirs constructive outcomes.</p>
<p>We must fight to retain our freedoms. We must fight to resist changes that we believe are wrong and insist upon our freedom to speak our minds and be allowed the chance to be heard.</p>
<p>We must reclaim the desire to be free, ever mindful that freedom does not allow our thoughts, feelings or actions to harm or hurt others by our intent, expression or in our behaviour.</p>
<p>We need to freely enjoy our lives in a way that does not cause us to intrude on others, but has a positive influence way can add to the welfare, well-being and freedom of others.</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;When even one American (who has done nothing wrong) is forced by fear to shut his mind and close his mouth, then all of Americans are in peril.&#8221; -</strong> Harry S. Truman</p>

		<description><![CDATA[New York City has introduced legislation “prohibiting the addition of fluoride to the water supply”.  If this is passed it would set a strong precedent for action that comes better ‘rather late than never.’  Other countries may be forced to be inclined to follow suit.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the first move for decades the U.S. Department of Health has moved to address the cautions about the fluoride issue in public drinking water. It has directed that the amount of this toxic chemical is reduced by about 50%.</p>
<p>This is in the face of accumulating evidence of what has been the medical caution for decades, that fluoride in fact can cause health problems and negatively affects the quality of children’s teeth and bones as well as many other negative health effects. The most recent research in December 2010 demonstrated that children with exposure to fluoride lowered IQ.</p>
<p>This message of the dangers of fluoride together with the evidence of irregular and excessive doses when pumped through the public water system have been recognized and the system rejected in many countries of the world where mass medication is perceived as unethical. This leaves America far behind in protection of public health.</p>
<p>Any action that attempts mass medication is a direct intrusion upon individual freedom of choice regarding medication. That it has been allowed to continue so long in spite of many voices opposing it is an admission that ‘eternal vigilance’ is missing in government health authorities.</p>
<p>There is considerable national public agitation about Fluoridation and New York City has introduced legislation “prohibiting the addition of fluoride to the water supply”.  If this is passed it would set a strong precedent for action that comes better ‘rather late than never.’  Other countries may be forced to be inclined to follow suit.</p>
<p>“The plain fact that fluorine is an insidious poison, harmful, toxic and cumulative in its effects, even when ingested in minimal amounts, will remain unchanged no matter how many times it will be repeated in print that fluoridation of the water supply is ‘safe’.</p>
<p>Ludwig Gross, M.D., former Chief of Veterans Administration Cancer Research, Bronx, NY</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Intense light is shown to eliminate bacteria offering an alternative or addition to conventional means of disinfecting.</p>
<p>Light is proving to be a safer and powerful potential to ensure hygiene throughout an entire building such as a hospital. Tests conducted at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, Scotland are reported b Professor John Anderson, to be significantly more efficient than cleaning alone.</p>
<p>There is little detailed information as yet except that the method “works by using a narrow spectrum of visible light wavelength to excite molecules contained within bacteria”. Nor do we know how the technique can be implemented but this new research holds much promise.</p>
<p>We would all welcome an assurance the our hospitals are more capable of overcoming a growing negative reputation that they are proving lax in hygiene and careless in allowing patients to contract additional health problems whilst under treatment.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Many people feel trapped in relationships, in circumstances, made to feel powerless, forgetful of free will.  ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is easy to grasp the more obvious aspects of slavery and abuse where violence and cruelty occur in the action and the behaviour of individuals towards others who become victims and are overcome by the circumstances.  It would seem that those who are trapped in this way feel powerless to change and are paralysed by their own fear as well as by the outer oppression. So bullying and slavery of various kinds continues.</p>
<p>Slaves who are forced to work without pay or reward may seem to be a less violent concept of slavery than one that includes beatings and physical cruelties but is always associated with a deep humiliation at a total loss of individual rights.</p>
<p>Erosion of the precious free will of every human being takes place on various levels and in varying degrees in these negative situations until a general sense of futility reigns in the psyche of the individual.</p>
<p>This manifests in our society by the disturbing increase of suicides. Some of these cases are people with extreme physical pain or emotional and mental anguish and some others may no longer be prepared to become slaves to a society of which they disapprove and which they choose to escape. Some suffer from mental illness often caused by negative influences of their chosen environment such as noise, brain disturbances through excessive electronic vibrations and others some by their own destructive habits such as drugs. None of these people whether young or old, healthy or diseased have found a reason to continue living. It is a sad testament to the failure of our culture.</p>
<p>It is true that we are all likely to become vulnerable and tempted to yield to seeking escape from any situation that seems without purpose.</p>
<p>Although there is no simple answer to the tragedies behind suicides, we must realise that we have our god-given free will and each is responsible for anchoring our life to wholesome aims and constructive activities in our work and our hobbies so that we can experience the inner power and joy that nourishes our aspiration to be free and identify our own worth.</p>
<p>It is by giving that we find our place in the social pattern in the world shared with millions of other fellow humans. Our shared commitment should include action to help those who are not independent and who are suffering oppression of any kind, to emerge from their present conditions and have the opportunity to make their positive contribution to the world knowing what it is like to stand free and proud, privileged to enjoy the gift of life and the beauties of our planet.</p>

<p>However, a subtle but more serious War has been waging for several decades and that is the world-wide conflict involving the human mind.  As in all wars it is difficult to consider any &#8220;spoils&#8221; or that victors will be deriving any real benefits, so with the Mental War, one would wonder what prize is at stake, and what deprivation the losers will suffer.</p>
<p>It is suggested that man is at the crossroads of a new era in his development and that if he can survive with his integrity in tact after this present mental chaos, he will be free and have earned his individual freedom to understand the processes of the human potential; to utilize his mind using the new energies which will be released in the coming century in the period often referred to as the Aquarian Age.</p>
<p>What is this Mental War?  How did it start? Where is it taking place?  How many are involved?  What is the likely result?  What power is financing it?  And most importantly Who or What intelligence is challenging our free will, our existent civilization and way of life?</p>
<p>So many questions tumble into the mind of the enquirer seeking to consider the possibility that the subtle warfare of the mind and thought energies is already taking place around us and is all the more potent and effective for its possession of the quality of invisibility – it represents the Invisible Enemy.</p>
<p>To give dramatic colouration to the concept of the War and what is at stake, it is necessary to accept that both man&#8217;s individual mind and the collective consciousness are at stake. If the battle for individual intellectual freedom is lost , we will lose the benefits of long cultural development which is represented by the cultural qualities and attributes of our homeland unless indeed a greater more generous concept of universality replaces it.</p>
<p>What are the negative influences we must overcome for our survival?</p>
<p>Apathy in the guise of tolerance  - allows a lack of discipline and self control to undermine our social structure whether we focus upon the individual person, nation, government or ruling entity.</p>
<p>Unethical and immoral codes prevalent in society must be remoulded and transformed so we can return to true values of goodness and virtue.</p>
<p>Unethical, immoral or criminal acts are often improperly dealt with and must be properly punished by law if we are to maintain order and halt the plague of criminality.</p>
<p>Elimination of Drugs that harm mind and/or body are chemical pollutants to curb.</p>
<p>Mass acceptance of trendy ideas without intelligent examination and discussion has been possible if we continue to believe that it is helpful to outlaw common sense and the faculty of discrimination.</p>
<p>The subtle ‘thought police’ pollutant that curbs independent thought and expression is based upon fear is a powerful weapon. Courage is the only antidote.</p>
<p>Violence in any form – speech, emotion, action or thought must be discouraged to allow the beauty and harmony in human culture to blossom.</p>
<p>Mental persuasion that convinces a nation to yield its identity and surrender its sovereignty must be fought by return to sincere national identity and pride in being a part of it.</p>
<p>Thought persuasion that can motivate a nation to open wide its doors to strangers without demand, examination and discrimination of any kind is unintelligent. It may appear generous to the newcomers but potentially disadvantages the current population of taxpayers.</p>
<p>Preparedness to surrender a newly structured nation to the remnants of its indigenous original occupants is a dangerous regressive concept that opposes assimilation. It belittles the gift of voting rights already given and challenges the future integrity of a nation.</p>
<p>We need to enter healthy debate and fight the negative thoughts and influences that are harming our own country and beyond.</p>
