Breaking News and Commentary from Citizens For Legitimate Government | 05 Jun 2009
Breaking: U.S. Could Let Detainees Plead Guilty, Be Executed Without Trials 06 Jun 2009 The Obama administration is considering a change in the law for the military tribunals at the prison at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, that would clear the way for prisoners facing the death penalty to plead guilty without a full trial. The provision could permit military prosecutors to avoid airing the details of brutal interrogation techniques torture. The proposal, in a draft of legislation that would be submitted to Congress, has not been publicly disclosed. It was circulated to officials under restrictions requiring secrecy. [Note: The New York Times has already changed its original headline.]
Obama Nominee Linked to Spying on Muslims, CIA Torture (Democracy Now!) 05 Jun 2009 The Obama administration’s pick for a top Homeland Security position has ties to the FBI spying on Muslim Americans, as well as reported links to CIA torture. Philip Mudd has been nominated to become secretary of intelligence and analysis at Homeland Security. Under the Bush administration, Mudd helped spearhead an FBI program that sifted through customer data collected by San Francisco-area grocery stores in 2005 and 2006, hoping that sales records of Middle Eastern food would lead to Iranian secret agents. A congressional aide, meanwhile, told the Associated Press Mudd had direct knowledge of the torture of foreign prisoners while serving as deputy director of the CIA’s Office of Terrorism Analysis.
Bagram: Is it Obama's new Guantanamo? Judge's ruling is forcing president to confront issue of Afghan prison 03 Jun 2009 Should prisoners the United States has shipped to the Bagram air base in Afghanistan have the same constitutional right to challenge their detention in court that prisoners at the Guantanamo prison in Cuba have been given? President Barack Obama has promised to close the Guantanamo prison by Jan. 22 of next year, but the Bagram prison continues to house alleged terrorists captured by the United States in Pakistan and other nations.
Barack Obama visits Nazi concentration camp 05 Jun 2009 Barack Obama visited a former Nazi concentration camp which his great-uncle helped to liberate, laid a white rose at a memorial to its victims, and described the site where 56,000 people died as the "ultimate rebuke" to Holocaust deniers. After seeing the crematoriums, guard towers and barbed-wire fences, and a clock set at 3:15 – when the camp was liberated on 11 April 1945 – Obama said: "These sites have not lost their horror. More than half a century later, our grief and our outrage have not diminished." [Why doesn't Obama also visit Bagram air base, a different Nazi camp? See: 'One of them made cuts in my penis. I was in agony' --Benyam Mohammed travelled from London to Afghanistan in July 2001, but after September 11 he fled to Pakistan. He was arrested at Karachi airport on April 10 2002, and describes being flown by a US government plane to a prison in Morocco. 02 Aug 2005 (Diary entry) They took the scalpel to my right chest. It was only a small cut... One of them took my penis in his hand and began to make cuts. He did it once, and they stood still for maybe a minute, watching my reaction. I was in agony. They must have done this 20 to 30 times, in maybe two hours. There was blood all over. "I told you I was going to teach you who's the man," [one] eventually said.]
Obama's support for the new Graham-Lieberman secrecy law By Glenn Greenwald 01 Jun 2009 ...[O]bviously anticipating that the Government is likely to lose in court again -- Obama wants Congress to change FOIA by retroactively narrowing its disclosure requirements, prevent a legal ruling by the courts, and vest himself with brand new secrecy powers under the law which, just as a factual matter, not even George Bush sought for himself. The White House is actively supporting a new bill jointly sponsored by Sens. Lindsey Graham and Joe Lieberman -- called The Detainee Photographic Records Protection Act of 2009 -- that literally has no purpose other than to allow the government to suppress any "photograph taken between September 11, 2001 and January 22, 2009 relating to the treatment of individuals engaged, captured, or detained after September 11, 2001, by the Armed Forces of the United States in operations outside of the United States." As long as the Defense Secretary certifies -- with no review possible -- that disclosure would "endanger" American citizens or our troops, then the photographs can be suppressed even if FOIA requires disclosure... The Senate passed the bill as an amendment last week.
US 'privatizing' war in Iraq, Afghanistan? 05 Jun 2009 The number of US contractors working in Iraq and Afghanistan is on the rise despite Washington claims that it would withdraw forces from both countries within years.

NJ reservist sentenced in Iraq contract scheme 03 Jun 2009 An Army Reserve officer from New Jersey has been sentenced to 30 months in prison for her role in a bid-rigging scam that steered millions of dollars for Iraq reconstruction projects to a contractor in exchange for cash, luxury cars and jewelry.

U.S. troop buildup in Afghanistan is in full force 05 Jun 2009 (Kandahar) Most of the 17,000 combat troops ordered here by President Obama will be in place by mid-July -- nearly all of them fanning out across southern Afghanistan. An additional 4,000 American troops, who will be responsible for 'training' Afghan soldiers and police officers, are expected to arrive by August. That will push U.S. troop strength above 60,000, a reflection of the shifting emphasis from Iraq to Afghanistan, where Western strategists acknowledge that more than seven years of fighting has essentially yielded a stalemate.
Three children among 30 killed in Afghanistan 05 Jun 2009 Three Afghan children were killed Friday by a mortar left over from a battle between police and Taliban, as bomb attacks and clashes left 28 more people dead, officials said.

Sarkozy's Secret Plan for Mandatory Swine Flu Vaccination 03 Jun 2009 By F. William Engdahl The French Government is developing secret plans to impose mandatory vaccination of the entire French population, allegedly against possible Swine Flu disease according to reports leaked in a French newspaper. The plan is without precedent and even defies recommended public health advice. Pharmaceutical giants benefit from the move, as the Swine Flu increases the trend towards the militarization of public health and use of needless population panic to advance the agenda.
CDC Vaccine Advisor Pockets $29 Million Promoting Vaccines 04 Jun 2009 Dr. Paul Offit of the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) received at least $29 million from his share of royalties for Merck's Rotateq vaccine after using his position with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to ensure that childhood vaccination with the vaccine became compulsory.

Carolina court orders governor to take US funds 04 Jun 2009 South Carolina's top court on Thursday ordered Governor Mark Sanford, a fierce critic of President Obama's economic stimulus program, to take $700 million in federal stimulus money.

The True Story of the Bilderberg Group
The updated, revised, expanded
North American Union Edition
By Daniel Estulin
It is ironic, as Daniel Estulin points out, that America’s fledgling democracy established the Logan act in 1799 to protect itself from Americans fostering foreign associations to intrude in our affairs. Named after Dr. George Logan, a pro Republican and prescient Quaker from Pennsylvania, it has remained almost unchanged and unfortunately unused since its passage, though it reads with great relevance in the shadows of the New World Order’s operatives . . .
It states, “Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.”
In fact, it is amazing that the Bilderberg Group has met since 1954 with funding from the CIA and is made up of the world’s most powerful people, notably US and world heads of state, made and in the making, numerous international corporate CEOs from business, banking, industry, media, as well as world royalty, plus high-ranking members of the Council on Foreign Relations and the Tri-Lateral Commission.
The Bilderberg goal has been to shape policy that deeply concerns the United States and its citizens in regards to innumerable foreign alliances without providing US citizens any awareness of same. And not once has any US member been indicted for their treasonous breaches in these actions.
Even though high-ranking members of the press attend Bilderberg annual meetings, there is little or no press coverage. They are there, as it were, to get with and push the program, albeit disguised. The meetings’ locales are announced only days before the events, always in a small town near a big city — this year’s at the five-star Nafsika Astir Palace Hotel in Vouliagmeni, Greece, May 14-17.
There are no press reports of discussions, agendas or conclusions released. Yet the matters discussed ranged this year from all facets of the US economy, including the dollar’s future, whether there will be depression or prolonged stagnation, US unemployment; more frighteningly, even to the destruction of the United States as we know it into the North American Union of Canada, the US, and Mexico.
Even though I read and favorably reviewed Estulin’s Bilderberg 2007: Welcome to the Lunatic Fringe, this new edition of the story lends new urgency to what has been happening in the darkness of the political night we live in, both north and south of us, including newly made associations of corporations, plans to usurp US laws to North American Union imperatives, all part of a scheme to hammer America into the pieces of this NAU like broken glass into an unrecognizable mosaic of oppression.

Barack admits US role in 1953 Iran coup 04 Jun 2009 US President Barack Obama has admitted US involvement in the 1953 coup in Iran which overthrew the democratically elected government of premier Mohammad Mossadegh. "In the middle of the Cold War, the United States played a role in the overthrow of a democratically elected Iranian government," Obama said during his keynote speech to the Muslim world from Cairo University in the Egyptian capital. It is the first time a sitting US president has publicly admitted American involvement in the coup.
Obama invites world's Muslims to seek 'new beginning' 04 Jun 2009 Seeking "a new beginning" with an estimated 1.5 billion Muslims worldwide, President Barack Obama on Thursday spoke more bluntly than any U.S. president before him about the chasms dividing the Middle East and the political double talk behind them.
Crowd loved Obama's 'Irabac,' even when he got it wrong 04 Jun 2009 One of the Cairo cafe questions debated in the days leading up to the speech was: Would Obama say "salaam" to the Arabic-speaking world? ...Some thought he was confident enough to use Arabic in his speech. In the end, Obama gave a "salaam" shout out to the Arabic-speaking world -- and more.
Prepared text of Obama's speech to Muslims --The prepared text U.S. President Barack Obama's speech in Egypt aimed at healing a rift with the Muslim world. 04 Jun 2009 I am honoured to be in the timeless city of Cairo, and to be hosted by two remarkable institutions. For over a thousand years, Al-Azhar has stood as a beacon of Islamic learning, and for over a century, Cairo University has been a source of Egypt's advancement. Together, you represent the harmony between tradition and progress. I am grateful for your hospitality, and the hospitality of the people of Egypt. I am also proud to carry with me the goodwill of the American people, and a greeting of peace from Muslim communities in my country: assalaamu alaykum...
Satire: FOX News: Obama Travels to Middle East to Recruit Jihadists --'The link between Barack Hussein Obama, Saddam Hussein, and Osama bin Laden is well known,' said former Vice President [sic] Dick Cheney. By R J Shulman 04 Jun 2009 FOX News has learned that the real purpose of President Obama’s trip to the Middle East and meet with Arab leaders is to learn how to recruit jihadists to do his bidding and wreak havoc in the United States. "The proof that Barack Hussein Hussein Hussein Hussein, did I say Hussein, Obama hates Christian American," said Sean Hannity, "is that he has chosen to mingle with known Islamic Koran-thumping terrorists in the Middle East before he has visited God-fearing American towns such as Jackson, Tennessee; Williamsport, Pennsylvania; and Provo, Utah."

Investigation finds U.S. military hardware easy to buy, ship 04 Jun 2009 Military hardware that can be used in nuclear devices and ground fighting can be easily purchased In the United States and shipped overseas, a government investigation revealed Thursday. The Government Accountability Office (GAO) watchdog agency set up fake companies to obtain military and dual use items -- which have both military and commercial use -- in the United States and ship them overseas, according to a report made public at a House subcommittee hearing.
Terrorist Attack Simulated At Minot AFB --Two-day anti-terrorism exercise helps area military crews and emergency personnel 'better prepare' 03 Jun 2009 Individuals like Colonel James Gallagher (Minot AFB) spring into action... Gallagher is commander of the 5th Mission Support Group at the Minot Air Force Base, and today, he was also in command of the Emergency Operations Center for the exercise. While continuous updates arrived, the National Guard's 81st Civil Support Team and several other emergency crews gathered in Minot to tackle the source of the problem.
El Salvador to investigate assassination plot claims 03 Jun 2009 El Salvador is investigating claims by Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez that an assassination plot prevented him from visiting the Central American nation... Chavez canceled going to the inauguration of leftist President Mauricio Funes on Monday because he said Venezuelan intelligence services had "very precise information" that a former CIA operative and Cuban militant, Luis Posada Carriles, was conspiring with U.S. intelligence agencies to launch rockets at his plane.
Mystery deepens over missing Air France jet --'Suddenly, we saw in the distance a strong and intense flash of white light, which followed a descending and vertical trajectory and which broke up in six seconds.' 04 Jun 2009 Conflicting clues to the cause of the loss of an Air France jet and the 228 people on board emerged on Thursday, deepening the mystery as the hunt for evidence intensified. A Spanish pilot flying in the same area as the Rio-Paris flight when it plunged into the Atlantic spoke of an "intense flash", while a Brazilian minister appeared to rule out a mid-air explosion. The co-pilot and a passenger on the Air Comet flight from Lima to Lisbon also saw the light, it said, adding that a written report has been sent on to Air France, Airbus and the Spanish civil aviation authority.
Air France bomb threat four days before jet crashed 04 Jun 2009 Air France received a bomb threat four days before Flight 447 plunged into the Atlantic Ocean, it was revealed yesterday. An anonymous caller made the threat to a plane heading from South America to Paris - just like the doomed jet. And the theory that Flight AF 447 could have been downed by a bomb was reinforced last night as it emerged wreckage from the Air France jet has been found spread over 55 miles of the Atlantic.
Flight AF 447: Victims Include Those Who Flocked to Brazil for Business, and a Royal 02 Jun 2009 The biographies of passengers aboard the disappeared Air France airliner likely will serve as a tragic testament to Brazil's rising importance in global business. Although Brazilian and French authorities have yet to release a detailed passenger manifest, the list is expected to read like a roster of European and Brazilian blue-chip companies, whose executives regularly packed the business- and first-class sections of the trans-Atlantic flight.

US judge rejects lawsuits in wiretapping cases 03 Jun 2009 A US federal judge dismissed dozens of lawsuits against telecom companies that participated in a wiretapping program without court authorization during the presidency [sic] of George W. Bush. San Francisco-based US District Court Judge Vaughn Walker ruled that the companies had immunity from liability under the FISA Amendments Act (FISAAA), which the US Congress adopted in 2008.
Judge halts suits over NSA wiretapping 03 Jun 2009 A federal judge in San Francisco has tossed out a slew of lawsuits filed against AT&T and other telecommunications companies alleged to have illegally opened their networks to the National Security Agency. U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker on Wednesday ruled that, thanks to a 2008 federal law retroactively immunizing those companies, approximately 46 lawsuits brought by civil liberties groups and class action lawyers will be dismissed.
DOJ rejects Georgia voter verification requirements 03 Jun 2009 The US Department of Justice (DOJ) has rejected Georgia's system of voter citizenship verification by way of a Social Security and driver's license database.

As swine flu wanes, U.S. preparing for second wave 04 Jun 2009 The outbreak of the new H1N1 flu virus has begun to wane with the start of summer in North America, and U.S. health officials said on Thursday they are looking to lessons learned as they prepare for its return in the autumn. There are now 11,468 probable and confirmed cases of the new H1N1 swine flu in the United States, Dr Anne Schuchat of the U.S. Centers and Disease Control and Prevention told reporters in a telephone briefing.
Australia swine flu count soars near 900: official 03 Jun 2009 Australia's swine flu tally rocketed by more than a third on Thursday to nearly 900 as officials scrambled to contain the rapidly spreading virus. The latest official figures revealed 876 confirmed cases of A(H1N1) influenza in the world's fourth most affected country -- up from 633 a day earlier and single figures just a fortnight ago. Other Australian states ordered children returning from flu hotspot Victoria to be quarantined, earning the wrath of Melbourne officials.
Further jump in swine flu cases 04 Jun 2009 Scotland has 31 new confirmed cases of swine flu, bringing the total number to 119, the Scottish Government has said. None of the new cases are travel-related, and 21 are in the NHS Highland area, which covers Dunoon.
Mega barf alert! Chicken injected with beef waste sold in UK 04 Jun 2009 Cafes and restaurants across Britain have been selling chicken secretly injected with beef and pork waste, The Independent can reveal today. In a hi-tech fraud run by firms in three EU states, food manufacturers are making bulking agents out of porcine and bovine gristle and bones that help inflate chicken breasts, so that they fetch a higher price.
Medical bills play a role in 62% of bankruptcies, study says 04 Jun 2009 President Obama's push for healthcare reforms gets a boost today from a new study by Harvard University researchers that shows a sizable increase over six years in bankruptcies caused in part by ever-higher medical expenses. The study found that medical bills, plus related problems such as lost wages for the ill and their caregivers, contributed to 62% of all bankruptcies filed in 2007. On the campaign trail last year and in the White House this year, Obama had cited an earlier study by the same authors showing that such expenses played a part in 55% of bankruptcies in 2001.
Baucus Rules Out Single-Payer Plan 03 Jun 2009 Sen. Max Baucus ('D'-Mont.) told advocates for a single national health plan today that it was a mistake not to include their views in recent hearings on health care reform, but said the process was too far along to address the issue now, according to activists who participated in the meeting. Single-payer advocates have complained for months that they have been left out of the Washington debate over how to change the nation's health care system, leading to 13 arrests during a noisy protest at one of Baucus's hearings last month.
Wall Street, Obama administration conspire to block financial regulation --'Geithner headed the New York Federal Reserve Bank and played a key role in the Bush administration's bank bailout program before being named to his present post by Obama.' By Barry Grey 04 June 2009 In the guise of enhanced regulation, the Obama administration is working with major Wall Street banks to sanction a continuation of the speculative practices that precipitated the financial meltdown and deepest economic slump since the Great Depression. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner has, according to a detailed exposé published May 1 by the New York Times, adopted a proposal drawn up by a group of big Wall Street firms for new regulations on the lucrative trade in derivatives such as credit default swaps.
White House Delivers Trove of Sotomayor Documents 04 Jun 2009 The White House delivered an extensive collection of documents, opinions and financial disclosures this afternoon on Supreme Court nominee Judge Sonia Sotomayor, bragging that it was delivering the information to the Senate Judiciary Committee faster than any nominee had in recent history.
CAUGHT ON TAPE: Waterspout off Edisto Beach, South Carolina
EDISTO BEACH, S.C. - An NBC Augusta 26 News viewer on vacation in Edisto Beach sent in video of a waterspout that occurred Thursday morning.
In the video you can see the well developed waterspout spinning over the Atlantic Ocean.
A waterspout is essentially like a tornado over water. Waterspouts occur frequently along the Florida coast, and sometimes off the Georgia and Carolina coasts. Occasionally, they move inland and become tornadoes, causing damage.
Waterspouts are more common than tornadoes because the flat surface of the ocean water offers little resistance to the rotation of air that causes the waterspout.
The Edisto Beach waterspout was caused by an area of low pressure over the Southeast that brought heavy rain to parts of Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, Florida, and North Carolina on Thursday.

Naturalnews.com | Microwave Ovens: The Curse of Convenience
by Christopher Gussa, citizen journalist
(NaturalNews) Throughout the ages there has always been a natural need to make things a little easier. From as far back as first having a fire to warm us, we learned to contain it in stones that radiated the heat leading to what most of us love and still call "The Fire Place". Then, when workable metal came into existence (a very convenient invention in itself) we learned to fashion wood burning stoves. Heating with metal stoves was becoming a modern convenience and soon it was in almost all homes.
The old saying always held true, "Necessity is the mother of invention". This concept was healthy, inspiring, good for the economy, and led to so many great things. (The industrial age of the 1890s to around 1950 was absolutely amazing!)
The basic necessities of life were always transportation, heating and cooling, storing food and water, and shelter from the weather. When we see such fine examples as automobiles, central heating and cooling, modern refrigerators, modern plumbing, and the beautiful and comfortable homes of today, it's easy to say, "Convenience is not a curse at all but a blessing"; and we would be right!
It is fairly safe to say that today the necessities of life are well covered to where we can grasp any of them with ease. However, there is quite a difference between something that makes a necessity more convenient and something that makes the convenience itself, such as the ease of preparing a meal on a nice modern stove, become unnecessary.
How lazy are we going to allow ourselves to get? Or even worse, how much of this wonderful life that we were created to enjoy (which includes using our brain and muscles once in a while) are we willing and wanting to give up? If this is not self-destruction, I don't know what is. We are trapped in a whorl-wind moving faster and faster away from the life our bodies, souls and spirits were created to live in and the average person can't even see it!
Well, on that moment of hope and delight in humanity, my wife just told me about a TV survey that she saw on "Good Morning America": When asked what was most important in deciding "what to do for dinner" such as price, taste, nutrition, or convenience, an overwhelming 70% said convenience. The survey did not say but I suspect to most people that means popped in the microwave or a trip through a fast food place.
Now surely popping something in the microwave at home couldn't hurt you even if there was no nutrition left in it, right? Wouldn't they warn us or ban microwave ovens if eating food cooked in them was a major health threat? Well, the data may shock you but here are the facts...
This data has confirmed just about all my suspicions. I believe that the general obesity in this country, the lack of energy, and increased cancer along with all the new "designer diseases" i.e. Erectile Dysfunction etc. can be traced in part to our habit of using microwave ovens as the 'lazy man's way out of a little extra work'.
It turns out it was the Nazis who actually invented these ovens. They were used in their mobile support calling them the "radiomissor". These ovens were to be used for the invasion of Russia. By using electronic equipment for preparation of meals on a mass scale, the logistical problem of cooking fuels would have been eliminated, as well as the convenience of producing edible products in a greatly reduced time-factor.
After the war, the Allies discovered medical research done by the Germans on microwave ovens. These documents, along with some working microwave ovens, were transferred to the United States War Department and classified for reference and "further scientific investigation". The Russians had also retrieved some microwave ovens and now have thorough research on their biological effects. As a result, their use was outlawed in the Soviet Union (for a year or two). The Soviets issued an international warning on the health hazards, both biological and environmental, of microwave ovens and similar frequency electronic devices.
After the war, Dr. Percy Spencer, a self-taught engineer with the Raytheon Corporation, claimed to have "invented" the microwave oven in 1946. The Raytheon Corporation did actually file the first U.S. patent on one. The first ones were called Radar Ranges in 1954. Thank You Raytheon, but I like your missiles much better!
The following is a summary of the Russian investigations published by the Atlantis Rising Educational Center in Portland, Oregon.
Carcinogens were formed in virtually all foods tested. No test food was subjected to more microwaving than necessary to accomplish the purpose, i.e., cooking, thawing, or heating to ensure sanitary ingestion.
Here's a summary of some of the results:
* Microwaving prepared meats sufficiently to ensure sanitary ingestion caused formation of d-Nitrosodiethanolamines, a well-known carcinogen.
* Microwaving milk and cereal grains converted some of their amino acids into carcinogens.
* Thawing frozen fruits converted their glucoside and galactoside containing fractions into carcinogenic substances.
* Extremely short exposure of raw, cooked or frozen vegetables converted their plant alkaloids into carcinogens.
* Carcinogenic free radicals were formed in microwaved plants, especially root vegetables.
How Microwave Ovens Work:
All microwave ovens contain a magnetron which is a tube in which electrons are affected by magnetic and electric fields. They produce micro wavelength radiation at about 2450 Mega Hertz (MHz) or 2.45 Giga Hertz (GHz). This microwave radiation interacts with the molecules in food. The wave energy inside the oven changes polarity from positive to negative with each cycle of the wave. These changes of polarity happen millions of times every second. Food molecules (especially the molecules of water) have a positive and negative end just like a magnet has a north and a south polarity.
As these microwaves generated from the magnetron bombard the food, they cause the polar molecules to rotate at the same frequency millions of times a second. This is major agitation. (Much less agitation is used in pharmaceutical drug labs to separate or isolate molecules in the making of just about any thing they want). This agitation creates the molecular friction, which heats up the food. The friction also causes substantial damage to the surrounding molecules, often tearing them apart or forcefully deforming them. The scientific name for this deformation is "structural isomerism".
In Comparative Study of Food Prepared Conventionally and in the Microwave Oven, published by Raum & Zelt in 1992, it states:
"Production of unnatural molecules is inevitable. Naturally occurring amino acids have been observed to undergo isomeric changes (changes in shape morphing) as well as transformation into toxic forms, under the impact of microwaves produced in ovens. One short-term study found significant and disturbing changes in the blood of individuals consuming microwaved milk and vegetables. Eight volunteers ate various combinations of the same foods cooked different ways. All foods that were processed through the microwave ovens caused changes in the blood of the volunteers. Hemoglobin levels decreased and overall white cell levels and cholesterol levels increased. Lymphocytes decreased. Luminescent (light-emitting) bacteria were employed to detect energetic changes in the blood. Significant increases were found in the luminescence of these bacteria when exposed to blood serum obtained after the consumption of microwaved food."
In Dr. Lita Lee's book, Health Effects of Microwave Radiation - Microwave Ovens, and in the March and September 1991 issues of Earthletter, she stated that every microwave oven leaks electromagnetic radiation, harms food, and converts substances cooked in it to dangerous organ-toxic and carcinogenic products. Further research summarized in this article reveal that microwave ovens are far more harmful than previously imagined.
It makes absolutely no sense to me that our FDA is "looking out for us" and yet has not banned perhaps the worst cancer producing machines in history.
Microwaved Water - See What It Does To Plants
Below is a science fair project that my granddaughter did for 2006. In it she took filered water and divided it into two parts.. The first part she heated to boiling in a pan on the stove, and the second part she heated to boiling in a microwave. Then after cooling she used the water to water two identical plants to see if there would be any difference in the growth between the normal boiled water and the water boiled in a microwave. She was thinking that the structure or energy of the water may be compromised by microwave. As it turned out, even she was amazed at the difference.
I have known for years that the problem with microwaved anything is not the radiation people used to worry about, It's how it corrupts the DNA in the food so the body can not recognize it. So the body wraps it in fat cells to protect itself from the dead food or it eliminates it fast.. Think of all the Mothers heating up milk in these "Safe" appliances. What about the nurse in Canada that warmed up blood for a transfusion patient and accidently killed them when the blood went in dead. But the makers say it's safe.. Never mind then, keep using them. Ask your Doctor I am sure they will say it's safe too. Proof is in the pictures of living plants dying. Remember You are also Living. Take Care.

I have known for years that the problem with microwaved anything is not the radiation people used to worry about, It's how it corrupts the DNA in the food so the body can not recognize it. So the body wraps it in fat cells to protect itself from the dead food or it eliminates it fast.. Think of all the Mothers heating up milk in these "Safe" appliances. What about the nurse in Canada that warmed up blood for a transfusion patient and accidently killed them when the blood went in dead. But the makers say it's safe.. Never mind then, keep using them. Ask your Doctor I am sure they will say it's safe too. Proof is in the pictures of living plants dying. Remember You are also Living. Take Care.
