FINANCIAL STRESS CAN RUIN YOUR HEALTH!
One Nation Under Financial Stress
In June 2008 the American Psychological Association conducted its annual nationwide survey: Stress in America, "to examine the state of stress across the country and understand its impact.” Not surprisingly, the survey found that money and the economy are the two primary sources of stress for eight out of ten Americans. Additionally, many confided that they are suffering from stress related physical and emotional symptoms.
Women appear to be particularly vulnerable to the rising levels of financial stress and are reporting higher levels of stress compared to men. Close to half of the Americans surveyed are very concerned about their ability to provide the basic necessities for their families.
“Stress in America continues to escalate and is affecting every aspect of people's lives — from work to personal relationships to sleep patterns and eating habits, as well as their health,” says psychologist Russ Newman, PhD, JD, APA executive director for professional practice. “We know that stress is a fact of life and some stress can have a positive impact, however, the high stress levels that many Americans report experiencing can have long-term health consequences, ranging from fatigue to obesity and heart disease.”
Excerpts from Stress in America
How Stress Impacts Americans Physical and Psychological Health
"Recognizing the physical and mental toll of stress, more than eight in 10 people (86 percent) recognize that stress increases their likelihood of becoming sick and has a very strong negative impact on a variety of conditions including depression (51percent), heart attack or stroke (48 percent), high blood pressure (42 percent), cancer (30 percent), obesity (32 percent) and insomnia (36 percent). Adults feel that stress also impacts their ability to make decisions or get things done at least once a week (21 and 30 percent respectively).”
In 2008, more people reported physical and emotional symptoms due to stress. More people report feelings of irritability or anger (60 percent compared to 50 percent in 2007), fatigue (53 percent compared to 51 percent in 2007), and lying awake at night (52 percent compared to 48 percent in 2007) as a result of stress.
Other physical symptoms of stress include: headache (47 percent); upset stomach (35 percent); muscular tension (34 percent); change in sex drive (19 percent); teeth grinding (17 percent); tightness in chest (16 percent); feeling dizzy (15 percent); change in menstrual cycle (10 percent); and erectile dysfunction (10 percent).
Other psychological symptoms of stress reported include: lack of interest or motivation (49 percent); feeling nervous or anxious (49 percent); feeling depressed or sad (48 percent); and feeling as though you could cry (40 percent). --end of excerpts
According to a 2008 USA Today/Gallup Poll "40 percent of the adults surveyed felt afraid and 53 percent felt angry about the economy.”
“Debt may be harming the health of up to 16 million Americans",according a recent poll from the Associated Press and AOL. "Bankruptcies, foreclosures and other economic woes are boosting demand for mental-health services. Money woes can trigger insomnia, anxiety and depression, rob you of time to get exercise and cook healthy foods, and make it harder to afford regular medical care.”

Institutionalized state/corporate sponsored 'education' is a form of mind control...
"Scientific societies are as yet in their infancy. . . . It is to be expected that advances in physiology and psychology will give governments much more control over individual mentality than they now have even in totalitarian countries. Fitche laid it down that education should aim at destroying free will, so that after pupils have left school they shall be incapable, throughout the rest of their lives, of thinking or acting otherwise than as their schoolmasters would have wished. . . ."-- Bertrand Russell, "The Impact of Science on Society", 1953, pg 49-50
Student Loan Scam: The Most Oppressive Debt in U.S. History !
Student Loans Are a 'Legal' Racket
Racketeering: A person [or group as in organized crime] who commits crimes such as extortion, loansharking, bribery, and obstruction of justice in furtherance of illegal[or should be illegal] business activities. ...www.thefreedictionary.com/
"Student loans are the most profitable, most predatory, and oppressive debt in US history", says Alan Michael Collinge, who penned an expose of the 85-Billion dollar student-loan industry: Student Loan Scam: The Most Oppressive Debt in U.S. History—and How We Can Fight Back. Collinge knows because the book was inspired by his agonizing personal decent into student loan hell.
It's an eye opener. Student loans are yet another slick version of the age old pyramid scheme where a handful of elite insiders at the top of the pyramid partner with the government, which is controlled by the elites, to bilk the many naïve marks at the bottom of the pyramid. Nothing new here.
Who Benefits?
In 2005 Fortune magazine named Sallie Mae, the major student loan provider, America's second most profitable 400 company.
"Its CEO[Sallie Mae]topped the list of highest paid CEOs in D.C. Sallie Mae's fee income increased 228% between 2000 and 2005, while its loan portfolio rose only 82% - the difference was penalties and fees from defaulted loans. As of 2007, Sallie Mae's top two executives together made more than 500 million. Universities often have "preferred-lender" arrangements with the universities and receive kickbacks. In 1999 Sallie Mae purchased Nellie Mae, followed by USAGroup and Southwest Student Services (nonprofit student loan companies and guarantors)."
Amazon book review by Loyd E. Eskildson
College and Universities are also heavily implicated in this scam.
"The Oversight Fiasco" and Chapter 6 "Corruption of the Universities" - The most shocking part of the book. Describes how numerous personnel of the Dept. of Education are actually former Sallie Mae officers, and instances where university financial aid officials hold stock in student loan companies such as Student Loan Xpress. Also describes kickbacks, donations, luncheons, and gifts paid by student lenders to universities in return for steering their incoming freshmen to those lenders (such as putting them on "preferred lender lists"). These universities include the University of Nebraska, Johns Hopkins, the University of Texas at Austin, and many others."
Amazon book review by M. Okada
Legally these loans are predicated on Federal legislation from the mid-90's that essentially stripped away all consumer protections from student loans, thus allowing lenders to enact draconian penalties, set up a debt based “wealth extraction” machine and legally engage in loan sharking.
Consider this: Currently there are approximately 5 Million defaulted student loans. And you know with the economy headed for the greatest depression of all time the number of defaulted loans is going to skyrocket. Did you know that student loans are the only type of loan that's virtually impossible to discharge in bankruptcy?
And there's more. Student loans are exempt from usury laws, Truth in Lending laws, and Fair Debt and Collections. There is no statute of limitations for collection. The only limitation is death. There's even a financial incentive for defaulted loans. Lenders can earn up to a 25% commission for collection fees on defaulted loans.
It gets worse. If you default on your student loans, lenders can legally, without a court order, seize money from your tax returns or garnish your wages, attach your social security income and even disability -- all for repayment purposes.
According to Collinge: Loan guarantors and collection agencies are empowered to seize tax refunds, revoke state-issued professional licenses, and arrange for termination of public employment--if your student loans fall into default.
Collinge's book offers an in depth expose of the student loan Ponzi scam. The horrifying details of this organized crime syndicate are systemically enumerated for all to see.
Hidden behind the carefully crafted gottcha legalese, the sobering statistics and the mundane mechanics of a dehumanizing, exploitative rip-off operation is the untold human tragedy. Literally millions of lives have been ruined by the student loan mafia.
The bottom line: Student Loans are a socially acceptable front for creating a modern American version of indentured servitude. Student loans = organized crime.

I'm Mad As Hell And I'm Not Going To Take This Anymore!
NETWORK 1976
Network is one of Hollywoods' finest and most intelligent movies, ever. While most see it as a satire on, well, network news, it is much more. It is a complete social satire of those times, the "70's, and it even touched on multinational corporations, international finance, the death of sovereign nations and the dawning of the One World Order. Of course there was a run on personal greed, careerism, the lack of humanity with "liberated" career women in top positions, and the masses acceptance of whatever spectacle TV had to offer. In other words, it lampooned the mesmerizing power of the tube.
The first dialog is from a scene with the CEO of a huge multinational conglomerate, Arthur Jensen, who has just purchased the TV network featuring Howard Beale, the once addled anchor man turned angry prophet/evangelist. Jensen has taken Beale into a board room with a very long meeting table, sets Howard down at one end, strides to the other end, and launches into a tirade that puts Beale in awe. It put me in awe as well!
Below that are quotes from Howard Beale's on TV rants. This movie is a must see for anyone who loves great movies and understands what is really going on in the world today. Because some things never change.

Arthur Jensen [calmly] Am I getting through to you, Mr. Beale? You get up on your little twenty-one inch screen and howl about America and democracy. There is no America. There is no democracy. There is only IBM, and ITT, and AT&T, and DuPont, Dow, Union Carbide, and Exxon. Those are the nations of the world today. What do you think the Russians talk about in their councils of state, Karl Marx? They get out their linear programming charts, statistical decision theories, minimax solutions, and compute the price-cost probabilities of their transactions, and investments, just like we do. We no longer live in a world of nations and ideologies, Mr. Beale. The world is a college of corporations, inexorably determined by the immutable bylaws of business. The world is a business, Mr. Beale. It has been since man crawled out of the slime. And our children will live, Mr. Beale, to see that...perfect world... in which there's no war or famine, oppression or brutality. One vast and ecumenical holding company, for whom all men will work to serve a common profit, in which all men will hold a share of stock. All necessities provided, all anxieties tranquilized, all boredom amused. And I have chosen you, Mr. Beale, to preach this evangel.
Howard Beale: Why me?
Arthur Jensen: Because you're on television, dummy. Sixty million people watch you every night of the week, Monday through Friday.
Howard Beale: I have seen the face of God.
Arthur Jensen: You just might be right, Mr. Beale.
Howard Beale: [via network television to the masses] I don't have to tell you things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad. The dollar buys a nickel's work, banks are going bust, shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter. Punks are running wild in the streets and there's nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do, and there's no end to it. We know the air is unfit to breath and our food is unfit to eat, and we sit watching our TV's while some local newscaster tells us that today we had fifteen homicides, and sixty-three violent crimes, as if that's the way it's supposed to be! We know things are bad -- worse than bad. They're crazy. It's like everything everywhere is going crazy, so we don't go out anymore. We sit in the house, and slowly the world we are living is getting smaller, and all we say is: Please, at,least leave us alone in our living rooms.Let me have my toaster and my TV and my steel belted radials and I won't say anything. Just leave us alone. Well, I'm not gonna leave you alone. I want you to get mad! I don't want you to protest. I don't want you to riot. I don't want you to write to your Congressman because I wouldn't know what to tell you to write.I don't know what to do about the depression, and the inflation, and the Russians [terrorists and the CIA], and the crime in the street [or the organized crime in the White House]. All I know is first you've got to get mad.
Howard Beale:[shouting]You've got to say, 'I'm a human being, Goddamnit! My life has VALUE!' So I want you to get up now. I want all of you to get up out of your chairs. I want you to get up right now and go over to the window. Open it and stick your head out and yell,
Howard Beale:[shouting] 'I'M MAD AS HELL,AND I"M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!' I want you to get up right now, sit up, go to your windows open them and stick your head out and yell, 'I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore!'Things have to change. But first, you've gotta get mad!...'You've got to say I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!' Then we'll figure out what to do about the depression, and the inflation, and the oil crisis. But first get up out of your chairs, open the window, stick your head out, and yell, and say it:
Howard Beale:[screaming at the top of his lungs] 'I'M MAD AS HELL, AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!'

ANGRY CROWD FILLS D.C...
The empire is crashing. It's a staged demolition. The people at the top of the Wall Street Ponzi scheme have been gratuitously bailed out by the *taxpayers*--Huh? America has been de-industrialized, Americans are the most obese people in the world, and the national debt can never be paid back... the empire is B R O K E and so are we. We are debt slaves to the private, international banking cartel that owns America-- the central bank AKA the 'Federal' Reserve.
In May 2009 Gerald Celente warned:
"This is unprecedented; the economy being restructured."I might add from the top down. To benefit the few at the expense of the many.
VIEW: Debt Slave Documentary August 28, 2009 by NIA (National Inflation Association). "There is mounting evidence that more and more people are being sucked under by this deliberate collapse."
Homelessness is on the rise. Hundreds of thousands of people are in the process of-- or have already lost their home via foreclosure. Commercial real estate is going to be the next bubble to burst; This according to a Sept. 9, 2009 Bloomberg report titled: Commercial mortgage defaults to rise - China has an eye on US commercial real estate market. Also: Commercial Mortgage Time Bomb as foreseen by Celente.
Health Maven Ramblings
There are no democrats or republicans — there is no President — nor is there a Congress that functions in the way we have been indoctrinated to believe it functions. There is just US and THEM.
There is no A m e r i c a!
The so-called war on TERROR is really a pretext for the establishment of a fascist, one world government by the invisible ruling elite -- an international group of sociopaths.
There are no “free markets.” The invisible hand that controls the economy is the mechanism of private, elite owned central banks, which by expanding or contracting the money supply create bust and boom cycles—at will.
There is no 'free trade.” Free trade is a euphemism for “no taxes or tariffs” to be paid by corporations, who are either trading with their own subsidiaries in other countries or with other corporations.
America, like most so called nations and nation states, is really a front for an international criminal cartel. Politicians (puppet celebrities) at the National level are mostly engaging in political theater. They essentially work for the advancement of their true master's agenda -- you guessed it ...the ruling elite. You can't vote them out because you didn't vote them in!
Besides voting is the opiate of the masses.
As the late, politically incorrect, comedian George Carlin, famously said: “They don't care about you. You're not part of the club!”
America is a bankers paradise. Most everything in America is owned by a bank or the government or a combination of the two.
Health freedom does not exist in America. Health care is really a disease growth industry for profit -- owned and run by Big Pharma, the FDA and the AMA (Rockefeller medicine). We have a medical mafia that suppresses natural cures, holistic medicine and anything or anyone who threatens their disease industry monopoly. Obama is brokering a sweetheart deal — on behalf of his elitist backers-- between the “health industry”--- including insurance companies — and the Congress. The pretense is that it's health care reform. It nothing more than a government backed forced insurance package. It's fascist medicine, not socialist medicine. Bottom line: it's a bailout for the health insurance industry.
The economy is essentially a vast Ponzi scheme. The elites who own the economy are currently restructuring it to ensure a much greater concentration of money and power in fewer hands, while impoverishing the rest of us. Welcome to the global plantation!
There's so much more to explain -- but time is short.
If you think when the going gets tough your government will be there to help you — research the 2005 Katrina fiasco. Many think Katrina was a dress rehearsal for future FEMA assisted 'disasters.'
Help each other. Take back your power -- otherwise it will be used against you. You can start by getting rid of your TV!
