As people are infected and controlled by microbes that want to protect themselves using the people they live in, we have to think before we go believing what they say. We have to analyze things that they say that is good for us.
GARLIC IS NOT GOOD FOR US. INSTEAD GARLIC HELP OUR BODY TO DECAY IN THAT IT HELPS BACTERIA MULTIPLY. IF GARLIC WAS GOOD FOR YOU, THE SCIENTISTS WOULD CONTROL THE PRODUCTION AND IT WOULDN’T BE SO CHEAP IN THE MARKET. THE RICH PEOPLE CONTROL ALL MEDICINES AROUND US AND THE PHARMACISTS ARE THERE TO STEAL ANYTHING THAT CAN MAKE THEM FAMOUS AND MAKE MONEY.
Garlic mimics its environment as everything else. Flies, roaches, butterflies, and all insects stink. But by encasing their stench in a crust, they can fly around people invisibly. So garlic, which stinks and is full of bacteria, encases itself in a crust that keeps its stench contained. When you crush garlic, its stench is released. Since you have microbes living inside your body that takes over your body, you come to love the taste and smell of garlic. But it is not you per say that loves garlic, but the vermins living inside you.
Eat garlic raw and see how smelly your mouth will be in an instant. When you eat raw garlic, the bacteria in the garlic is released inside your mouth, and with the help of the heat in your mouth bacteria multiply so fast that you mouth stinks like a tomb right away. Your stomach, your intestines and your sweat smell bad. That is why the vermins say, “you are what you eat.”
So garlic helps kill you faster instead of helping you live. Why do horror movies show that garlic frightens evil spirits in movies is because the vermins that stink like garlic are afraid that garlic is telling their secret. So they are mostly afraid of the message the garlic carries instead of the garlic itself with is like them: Smelly. As well, movie actors are zombified liars that work to promote vermins.
Doctors are microbial liars as well and are paid to encourage people to die. Doctors have something in them that kill the living and help the dead. They have taken oath to help the dead and not the living. The actual person wants to help people live, but what take control of the doctors are killer vermins in the forms of viruses and microbes, which are controlled by viruses and microbes in the outside world.
So GARLIC IS BAD FOR YOU IN EVERY WAY. EVEN IF YOU KILL THE BACTERIA IN THE GARLIC BY COOKING IT, THE GARLIC IS STILL SO SMELLY THAT YOU SWEAT STENCH AND YOUR BREATH STILL STINKS.
THINK TWICE BEFORE YOU BELIEVE MICROBIAL AND PARASITIC VERMINS THAT SAY THINGS ARE GOOD FOR YOU. MICROBES USE PEOPLE TO PROTECT THEMSELVES. THEY WILL NOT TELL YOU WHAT CAN KILL THEM. THAT IS WHY THEY HAVE PEOPLE OUT THERE TO MISLEAD YOU. MICROBES WANT YOU TO STINK. THAT IS HOW THEY ADVERTISE TO THE MICROBIAL WORLD THAT THEY CONTROL YOUR BODY, WHICH THEY SEE AS THEIR SHELL. THE OTHER WAY THEY ADVERTISE THEMSELVES IS THROUGH FARTING. THE MORE ROTTEN FOOD LIKE YOGURT AND CHEESE YOU EAT, THE SMELLIER YOUR FART IS,
Your fart keeps your clothes smell bad and this ATTRACTS VERMINS TOWARD YOU LIKE STENCH OF FLOWERS ATTRACT VERMINS LIKE BEES AND FLIES TOWARD THEM. THAT IS WHY SCIENTISTS DECLARE THAT ONE HUMAN HAS TONS OF PARASITES ON THEM. PARASITES CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT STENCH.

People think that Collective bargaining is just the right to put a group together & bargain as a group, not true. Collective Bargaining means workers have to join a Union if they want to work. In the Public sector it gives Unions a monopoly & control of all government paid jobs.
I don’t think forcing a company to hire through a Union, taking their right to choose who will work for them, taking the right to terminate unproductive employees, taking the right to pay more productive employees more is even anything that could possibly be legal using any intelligent thought process. It’s ownership rights of the company given to Unions who don’t have any investment in the company, no ownership at all. It’s insane.
But when it comes to public tax paid jobs it’s even more insane and wrought with inevitable corruption.
Unions have the power, the workers don’t and the elected officials don’t. Unions have completely denied votes by members on merit pay, wouldn’t even allow members they are SUPPOSED to represent to vote on a proposal! Tell me that’s WORKERS RIGHTS? That’s Union Control, PERIOD. That’s not even the worst of it. Unions force government workers to pay around $1000 a month each, which means for every 1000 workers they get a million dollars and there are hundreds of thousands of workers. They take this money and use it to help politicians, usually Democrats get elected. Those politicians then turn around and make deals giving much higher than market wages, and worse than that give up the ability to fire bad workers, especially ugly in teachers case this sticks kids with teachers without incentive to do a good job. They can’t get paid more for doing a good job and in 2 years they gain tenure & can’t be fired for cause at all. THAT is the BIG problem with our public school system. That is what Union control over government jobs creates. Generates huge amounts of money they bribe politicians with. The tax payers loose, the kids loose, the workers use their right to choose representation or not to be represented. Those Unions don’t even allow teachers secret ballots.
Result?
Government Corruption, officials bribed by Unions & their guys gain huge support from workers, most of whom don’t want their money spent that way.
Control of Government jobs by corrupt Unions, they bribe officials & get about what they want costing the tax payers and corrupting the system as well as taking representation away from voters
lower quality output; especially insidious in teachers who don’t do a good job teaching kids
higher costs; including over payment & extravagant benefits like Cadillac health plans & extravagant retirement benefits that go on until the worker dies costing millions.
These costs is exactly what is bankrupting many states. They shouldn’t have been allowed because it’s obvious they were not sustainable, but the bribery greased the wheels for these insane benefits that the economy simply can’t support even in the best of times.
It’s obvious to me and to anyone with a functioning brain I’d say, that giving Unions the government support to remove ownership rights of a company and give them to a Union with no ownership in the company at all, isn’t anything that should have ever been even considered. It’s a taking of ownership which is obviously not fair, no different than just stealing part of the land your home sits on without paying for it. BUT that pales in comparison to the wrong that’s created by legally binding governments to give their power over government jobs over to Unions. It’s just amazingly corrupt.
When people understand even part of this information the poling is for what governor Walker is doing by nearly 2 to 1. And it should be for his actions by a much wider margin.

There is no question that all politicians are short on honor and none are truly trustworthy, but perhaps they get that way because we are so gullible; so short on common sense. We have just given control of the House of Representatives back to the people who created the conditions that triggered the recession that wiped out the stock market, caused hundreds of bank failures, caused massive job loss and countless home repossessions. These are the same people who have refused to do anything constructive for two years, effectively slowing all the efforts to boost the economy and recover from that recession. These are the same people who get massive funding from the super-rich and the largest corporations and lobby groups, then use it to convince you to vote against your own best interests. If these facts were secret, one could say we were fooled- but they are not, it’s publicly documented and available to anyone intelligent enough to research the facts.
Are we too dumb to do that?

Many Americans know little about the educational system in the Soviet Union between 1917 and 1945. In fact, we know little about the Soviet Union in general because of the Cold War. After the coup that brought down the Soviet empire, Russia released many of its secrets including those involving its education. After 1917, Russia based its entire school system on the teachings of German philosopher Karl Marx. Marxism states that one should achieve freedom through giving up the self to benefit the state. This Marxist theory created an unpopular form of government from a democratic point of view; however, it made Communism an efficient educator. 1
Joseph Stalin gained complete control of the Communist Party with the help of officials he had appointed in 1927. He was the party’s general secretary, which was an important role in the party. His ruling of the Soviet Union indicated the start of an economic, social, and political revolution, which had better results than in 1917. Joseph Stalin modernized the Soviet Union through the Five Year Plan, developed collectivization operated by the government, and achieved his goals by controlling the party bureaucracy and purged any opposition. Stalin introduced collectivization to increase agricultural production. Collectivization was a system in which private farms were eliminated and peasants worked on land owned by the government. In the first Five-Year Plan, livestock dramatically fell and wheat remained at a steady level. In the second Five-Year Plan, livestock slowly began to rise, and wheat nearly doubled production. There was a cost to Stalin’s plans. Stalin’s collectivization led to 4.5 to 7 million starving people in Ukraine.2
As the Soviet economy grew more complex, it required more and more complex disaggregation of control figures (plan targets) and factory inputs. As it required more communication between the enterprises and the planning ministries, and as the number of enterprises, trusts, and ministries multiplied, the Soviet economy started stagnating. The Soviet economy was increasingly sluggish when it came to responding to change, adapting cost−saving technologies, and providing incentives at all levels to improve growth, productivity and efficiency. Most information in the Soviet economy flowed from the top down and economic planning was often done based on faulty or outdated information, particularly in sectors with large numbers of consumers. As a result, some goods tended to be under produced, leading to shortages, while other goods were overproduced and accumulated in storage. Some factories developed a system of barter and either exchanged or shared raw materials and parts, while consumers developed a black market for goods that were particularly sought after but constantly under produced.3

Posted on 23 August 2010. Tags: birth, birth control, catholic church, control, doctors, excruciating cramps, gynecologist, Insurance, medication, mom, nurse, Periods, Seasonique, Skip
I’m 14, and i get excruciating cramps from my period. I’ve been thinking about trying to go on birth control just so i can skip it. I don’t plan on being sexually active any time soon, and i don’t even have a boyfriend, so using the pill for actual birth control isn’t at all what i want to do. Should I go on the Seasonique pill, which gives you only three periods a month, just so i don’t have to deal with cramps? And also, I know that, like nearly every other medication out there, the pill does have some risks and side effects, but I want to know what they specifically are for Seasonique, and how commonly they occur. I’ve talked to my mom about it, and shes a nurse, but id like some other opinions as well. Also, the hospital my mom works at is affiliated with the catholic church, and they provide my family with our insurance, but they don’t cover birth control because it’s against their beliefs, or whatever, so my family would have to pay ourselves. How much is it without insurance, and do you think its worth it to save me from my torturous cramps? And also, I know i should probably talk to a doctor about this, but I’ve never been to a gynecologist, and i don’t really want to start until I absolutely have to, so is there another way to get a doctors opinion without getting the whole scary examination?
