H1N1 – Swine Flu – The Inconvenient Truth

The media blitz about swine flu is overwhelming. Every time you read or tune in to any kind of media be it print, online, radio or television we come to very quickly realize that a pathogen not visible to the naked eye has taken over our lives, like it or not. Not so long ago, we were concerned we would be hurt or destroyed by the sinister Osama bin Laden and his ominous cadre of destruction. Well it seems those in charge of our welfare were wrong again the massively greater threat was ignored to our mutual undoing. Swine Flu is the real “terrorist” because right now most of us are more scared of it than we were or could ever be, of Mr. Bin Laden. He never needed to bother with airplanes and “dirty bombs”; he could have saved a lot of money and just bought a “hog farm” and done a whole lot more damage. The H1N1 virus is doing what he never could, force people worldwide to live in fear. H1N1 virus and the pork industry with its corporate and government minions, without sending us a single threatening video tape, has done it, and the sad thing is we are paid them to do it! Now when we meet strangers it is in the back of all our minds “wonder if he/she has it or is a carrier?”. With H1N1 virus there is no such thing as “safe sex”, unlike its distant cousin the HIV virus, it kills quickly. We don’t go to public events without at least privately wondering if the H1N1 virus, will it be there too. Every surface we touch away from home,” Is it there?” We awake with a sore throat, a runny nose, a sneeze, a head cold, a pain, a back ache, or a cough and wonder, “do I have it?, Will I become a statistic? Well, maybe or maybe not, how can we tell, we most go on living and taking chances.

In the media however we are still agonizingly submerged in stories about were Swine Flu has struck and how many it has killed so far. Then the good news, if you want to call it that, the fact that things are not as bad now as they may become when Flu season finally kicks in, in the fall. Irrational fear no, just irrational inept negligent and down right criminal behavior from the pork industry and the governments involved. We have been told to wash our hands after touching things, to cook pork to 160 degrees, to stay away from live stock shows and locations if pigs are present, to stay away from school or work if there is an outbreak of Swine Flu. We have been told to sanitize surfaces pigs have come in contact with. We have been shown what the virus looks like under a microscope. We have been made aware the genetic characteristics of the H1N1virus. We have been told not to attend gatherings, not to go work or school if we suspect we have Swine Flu. We have been told do not plan trips to Swine Flu hotspots like Mexico.

“Savage asks “Could this be a terrorist attack through Mexico?” Michelle Malkin, Bill O’ Reilly and Neil Boortz agree: “[W]hat better way to sneak a virus into this country than give it to Mexicans?” When in fact the transporters and the purveyors of Swine Flu are the corporations and governments we trust so unconditionally. Gregg Schmidt, president of international operations for Murphy-Brown LLC, Smithfield’s hog production subsidiary, does not appear to be of Mexican ancestory.The trick that is being used in the media is to put terrorism and Immigration together with H1N1 virus to punish a minority group of color that is not responsible for H1N1 virus but merely has direct relation to the Mexicans in Mexico. The great majority of all Mexicans in Mexico are just victims of corporate and governmental neglect conspiracy and insatiable greed, just like us! The pig meat produced on those filthy hog farms in Mexico was meant for the table of the American consumer because money and plenty of it was and is involved. Most Mexicans were never asked if this is what they wanted and those that were asked didn’t have many alternatives by which to earn a living so they accepted by default. Oh, I get it now; if one is poor it is easy to be demonized in the media by people who are not use to living with poverty. The pork industry and their puppets want to change the name of the Swine Flu to the “Mexican Flu”, such a change would accomplish two things 1. To break the association between pork and the Swine Flu 2.to blame the victims for something they never had control of, however the change has not caught on because the American public is not as “stupid” as the pork industry had assumed.

Pork sales are down the American consumer is fighting back by voting with their wallets and choosing not to buy pork or buying a lot less. Never the less there is ample work to be done to totally sever the umbilical cords of pork industry propaganda and mental conditioning. Pig products and meat are certainly cheaper for people with limited financial means. The American consumer has been conditioned by the pork industry for many years to consume pigs based on taste. Of course the pig is often portrayed as being a cute cuddly and harmless icon of American life. The fact is we must all wake up from our conditioned slumber on this issue and realize no matter how many rerun episodes of “Green Acres” portray “Arnold” the pig as a benign lovable comic character, it will never expunge the fact that pork is infected with deadly dangerous pathogens, H1N1 virus is killing people. Bend the truth as they might, the pork industry has been and is involved in the obvious cover up of the fact that hogs have been infected with these pathogens for years and they did not stop selling the contaminated hog flesh to the uninformed unsuspecting consumer since at least 1930.If this were not so then why have they spent millions and millions on antibiotics and antiviral used in pig feed. The greatest threats originate from within and something must be done to correct this situation, late is better than never. The media for obvious reasons prefers to show pictures of the pig culls in Egypt and berate the Egyptians for their cruelty to animals, when we all know if given the choice between the lives and health of our own families or having “hog farms” there is no contest. Hogs, pigs, swine are not worth “one” human life not now not ever! Let’s cut through media created hype and get to the point. We can never stop H1N1 virus with useless words and weak attempts at prevention when we have no resolve or intention to do the hard work of dismantling the pork industry which is harboring the toxic H1N1 virus.

What Diet Works the Best? The Real Truth on Low Calorie Diets!

Are you aware of what diet works the best? If not then today I’ll give you a run down with the real truth on low calorie diets and what you are in fact doing when you go on them. I will also describe a relatively new diet which is entirely original from every other diet you can do as you’ll see. Best of all this diet can yield fast results which stick around!

Are Low Calorie Diets Worth Doing?

In short, no and here’s why. When you go on a low calorie diet you are essentially starving your body of much needed calories. You see the problem with weight loss isn’t eating too many calories but eating too many of the really bad ones. The only sustainable low calorie diet in my opinion that is OK to go on is a raw food diet or juice fast which is by far the healthiest of diets to follow, although it can be quite challenging.

With most diets that focus on less calories are simply starving your body to lose the weight, does this sound healthy to you? What you may not realize is your body has turned on a switch because of this, the same switch that would go off if you were starving for food. Of course the instant you are again able to eat your body will immediately attempt to store up as many calories as possible. This is the reason why so many people experience a rebound effect on low calorie diets.

So What’s the Best Diet Option?

It’s known as calorie shifting and although it may sound similar to low calorie dieting I assure you it’s much different. For starters calorie shifting focuses not upon starvation as a weight loss method but on boosting your metabolism naturally through eating food! You will never go hungry on the calorie shifting diet and the entire time your metabolism is becoming more and more active due to the nature of how the diet works which is by changing your calorie consumption every day. With calorie shifting you finally have the ability to eat & burn fat without any exercise or diet pills!

Articles in European languages indefinite and definite articles only definite articles indefinite and postfixed definite articles only postfixed definite articles no articles

An article is a word that combines with a noun to indicate the type of reference being made by the noun, and may also specify the volume or numerical scope of that reference. The articles in the English language are the and a (the latter with variant form an). An article is sometimes called a noun marker, although this is generally considered to be an archaic term.^[1]

Articles are traditionally considered to form a separate part of speech. Linguists place them in the class of determiners.

Articles can have various functions:^[2]

• A definite article (English the) is used before singular and plural nouns that refer to a particular member of a group.

The cat is on the red mat.

• An indefinite article (English a, an) is used before singular nouns that refer to any member of a group.

A cat is a mammal.

• A partitive article indicates an indefinite quantity of a mass noun; there is no partitive article in English, though the quantifiers some or any often have that function.

French: Voulez-vous du café ? (“Would you like some coffee?” or “Do you want coffee?”)

• A zero article is the absence of an article (e.g. English indefinite plural), used in some languages in contrast with the presence of one.

Cats love fish.

Linguists interested in X-bar theory causally link zero articles to nouns lacking a determiner.
