Nuclear Power Safety and Full Disclosure in Broadcasting

Back in Studio 604 in downtown Vancouver.
Beautiful day in Vancouver today!

Chit Chat about the weather and then get down to business!

Andrew brings up a couple situations in the United States that are endangering two nuclear facilities.

A damn in Nebraska is at risk and as a result a community downstream is flooding putting a Nuclear Power plant in danger. 10 mile evacuation zone declared.

Link to Natural News Fukashima in the USA

Croft brings up the situation in Libya with the depleted uranium shells.

Croft talks about the discovery of fossil water which would turn Libya into a garden in Africa. Kadafi was sharing the wealth with the citizens of Libya and the new discovery of fossil water was to be shared with the people. Croft says just before the villianisation of Kadaffi the UN was about to give him an award…
Andrew hasn’t heard anything about fossil water or the other side of the Kadaffi story.

Link to fossil water and kaddafi UN Award

Croft brings up flouride being used in water supplies which is a byproduct of the chemical fertilizer and nuclear energy industries.

Andrew brings up Thorium again… and the safety of Thorium reactors.

Croft says they have detected Depleted Uranium in Holland… as a result of bombing??

In addition to the Nebraska Damn on the Missisipi River there is a nuclear waste disposal facility in Nebraska at risk from a wild brush fire. The fear is that the heat from the fire could ignite the drums and release the radioactive material in the plume.

Andrew brings up a point about checking facts when reading news on both mainstream news sources and blogs.

Link to Natural News Wild Brush Fire post

There is a worldwide change in public opinion towards nuclear energy. Germany is phasing it out completely, other countries are considering doing the same.
Croft talks about the increased cancer rates, birth defects, etc
More on depleted uranium and bombing Libya.
The rebels are killing the black people in Libya.
Andrew has no comment due to not knowing about this topic.

Andrew talks about how motivation and planning is very short sighted. Short term profits are more important than long term planning.

Croft likes Russian TV

Link for the Russian TV here…

Andrew asks who isn’t a fascist these days?

Croft commented on environmental housing with the least amount of impact on the environment.

Croft says the internet is a disaster for corporate media.

Andrew brings up full disclosure in broadcasting.

National Public Radio show, Marketplace was sponsored by Monsanto and the programing on Marketplace was probably influenced by this relationship. The program has been presenting increased chemical fertalizers and GMO products as a solution to world hunger (the Monsanto agenda) despite studies that suggest this plan is sure to fail.

We talk about Hemp as an alternative to many products such as clothing, rope, industrial fabrics and more.

And that’s a wrap for another show… see you next time.

028 | HENews – Depleted Uranium, Vaccines & Gulf War Syndrome

admin — Thu, 11 Aug 2011 21:23:22 +0000

Depleted Uranium, Vaccines & Gulf War Syndrome

We talk about taking some time off for the last few weeks…
This show is about Depleted Uranium, Vaccines and Gulf War Syndrome and the situation in Japan.

We talk about a video produced by Gary Null, Phd about the Depleted Uranium used in Afganistan and Iraq having a causal link with Gulf War Syndrom.

What they like about Depleted Uranium is it is very hard and dense and will penentrate armour like a hot knife through butter. But it contaminates everything. Soil, air, water.

In Iraq there are many types of cancer that have reached epidemic proportions in Iraq as a result of depleted uranium. The increased cancer rates are primarily in children who are more vulnerable to the damage from depleted uranium. Birth defects are increasing as well.

The soldiers are seriously affected by depleted uranium and Gary Null and others argue that Gulf War Syndrome is cause by this weapon.

The depleted uranium lasts for a very long time in the environment and people in these regions have to live with that.

The pentagon officially says that depleted uranium shell weapons are safe…

The other controversial potential cause of Gulf War Syndrome is the array of vaccines that soldiers are required to take before going overseas.

The reason we are bringing up this topic again is because they are using these weapons in Libya despite denying doing so. Testing of the shells shows radio activity apparently.

The soldiers get sick after their service is completed and therefore it is dificult to determine the cause of the sickness.

Link for the show notes: Gulf War Syndrome – Killing Our Own.

Thorium: A safe alternative to Uranium for Nuclear power.

We talk about why Thorium is not used for nuclear power…

Thorium was seriously looked at as a viable source of nuclear energy. The only problem with Thorium was it wouldn’t produce a byproduct, plutonium, which could be used for nuclear weapons. Therefore, they went with Uranium for the side benefit of nuclear weapons.

The use of Thorium is coming back into favor with India looking to replace all of their Uranium Nuclear reactors with Thorium reactors over the next couple of decades.

Is this a good move?

We think it is definately an improvement but there are still cleaner energy sources that are getting better and better.

Post in the Global and Mail by Neil Renoylds
He says that Thorium is more abundand, more stable, safer.
Only slightly radio-active and can not sustain a chain reaction and thus can not melt down. But during the Cold War the science goal was synonomous with the military goal and at that time nuclear weapons were seen as a good thing.

Croft stresses that the Military Industrial Complex is at play here… but says you need to add Medical to the name… Military Industrial Medial Complex.

Andrew remembers something about better living through chemicals…

Croft talks about the HIV – Aids = Death conspiracy. And we talk about possibly doing a show on that topic.

China is crediting Canada for developing Thorium as a nuclear power alternative. Canada had done some work on Thorium and ultimately decided to go with Uranium.

Croft says to contact him and he’ll send a copy of the article posted by Dr. Mercola who points out that Vitamin D3 has a powerful ability to affect many mechanisms that our cells operate, one of which is protection against low level radiation.
Croft discusses the article in depth…. Andrew brings up a point about the RDA’s being much lower than what is recommended in the article. Croft says the RDA’s are being increased thanks to research such as this.

Vitamin D is good for many other things… more on Vitamin D…
All a lot of the research on Vitamin D has been on cancer prevention. The Vitamin D Council says that it should be used for treatment as well. As an adjunct therapy to the other cancer treatments patients are taking.

Someone commented on our show notes saying we have erroneously called Absorbic Acid (vitamin C) a vitamin… Croft gives us his response.

Vitamin C and radioactivity protection. Very important for the health of the kydneys and liver. Croft recommends taking Vitamin C up to bowel tolerance.
Croft mentions the work of Linus Pauling, Klenner and others.
Croft brings up an example of how Vitamin C helped to heal a non healing ulcer on an old womans leg.

Andrew suggests Croft should write a book… Nutrition vs Disease.

Croft brings up how journalists and the media strikes out and attacks people who question the status quoi. He wonders why they can’t disagree without attacking the person.

Croft talks about 911 Conspiracy Theories and how they are treated.

Andrew brings up spiritual beliefs that have no basis in logic or fact and what people believe is their business.

Discussion about Capitalism vs Socialism… Andrew is pro Capitalism but is Anti – Corporatism.

Andrew’s rant for the day is about corporations that gain so much power that they can buy politicians and exert control over the political system.

Press Release: Truehope Nutritional Support takes on the Federal Governemtent again

admin — Thu, 17 Mar 2011 23:53:18 +0000

Truehope Nutritional Support Ltd.: Mental Health Advocate Pleads, “Don’t Let This Happen Again”

CALGARY, ALBERTA–(Marketwire – March 17, 2011) – On March 22, 2011 Truehope Nutritional Support Ltd. (Truehope), a Canadian not for profit mental health support organization will return once more to the Federal Courts on behalf of Canadians. At issue is Health Canada’s authority to remove safe and effective natural health products without evidence of harm or risk to consumers. In 2003, Health Canada injured Canadians when they seized and destroyed shipments of the Truehope formulation destined for former psychiatric patients, turned natural health consumers. Health Canada’s actions left thousands of Canadians in physical distress causing multiple hospitalizations and suicide deaths.(1)

In 2004, after blocking access to the Truehope formula for over a year, Health Canada charged Truehope with the illegal sale of a drug. However, the court found Truehope innocent of all wrong doing and demanded the Truehope formula and program continue to be made available to Canadians. Furthermore, in his final judgment, the Judge concluded that even as Health Canada agents were denying access to the formula, they were fully aware that their actions would result in harm or danger to those who depended on the product for their health.(2) In the 2006 Alberta Court trial, the Canadian Mental Health Association’s, Alberta Director, Ron Lajeunesse bore witness that because of Health Canada’s actions in blocking access to the formula, innocent Canadians lost hope and committed suicide. (3)

Current Health Canada regulations grant bureaucrats authority to remove natural health products at their discretion without any accountability to Canadians for their actions.(4) Truehope is challenging that authority. “I lost my wife to suicide when her bipolar illness was untreatable with medication. We have other options now, proven effective. Any responsible regulatory body would assess the potential harm of making the product unavailable before they pulled it from the shelves. Health Canada did neither, and as a result, people were hurt; some people died.” says Truehope co-founder and mental health advocate, Anthony Stephan. “Please, don’t let this happen again,” asks Stephan. “According to Health Canada statistics, 77% (of Canadians) believe Natural Health Products help maintain our good health. Some people really depend on Natural Health Products. We need to protect access to our choice of health care.”

Truehope is the producer of Truehope EMP, a natural formula now available to Canadians. The Truehope formula has assisted over 80,000 people with mood disorders. Independent research has produced fourteen peer reviewed medical journal publishings, which have demonstrated the Truehope formula to be safe and effective.

The Court is open to public attendance daily from 9:00 a.m. The Truehope case commences at 9:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. at the Calgary Federal Court, 300-635 8th Ave. S.W. Calgary, AB.

“Mercury in Vaccines and an Attack on Dr. Andrew Wakefield”

Health Empowerment News returns after a several month hiatus! It’s good to be back…

This week, Croft and Andrew talk about the vindication of Dr. Andrew Wakefield and his work showing a link between mercury in vaccines and infant autism.

Also,

We discuss the news about Taco Bell having only 35% beef in their beef tacos and the lawsuit asking them to stop advertising that they are selling beef when in fact they are selling “other stuff”.

We discuss the need for regulations but not the type of regulation like the recently passed Bill C-36.

Recently, CBC Marketplace featured an attack on homeopathy. Croft has his own opinions on the issue and shares them with Health Empowerment News listeners.

We take a couple questions from listeners.

Hot off the Press:

Attack on Dr. Andrew Wakefield:

We mention the site “global research” on the show where you can find the Richard Gale and Dr. Gary Null article
H1N1 Vaccine may cause miscarriage but Gardisil and Cervarix are worse.

Croft references the site www.sanevax.org. Check it out.

Must See Documentary | A QUESTION OF SOVEREIGNTY – a film by Kevin P. Miller

admin — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 20:16:03 +0000

A QUESTION OF SOVEREIGNTY – a film by Kevin P. Miller from Kevin P. Miller on Vimeo.

In this patriotic and sentimental film, international award winning Writer/Director Kevin P. Miller (GENERATION RX, WE BECOME SILENT) exposes how Canadians are being stripped of their personal sovereignty by government agencies — and how free trade deals and other international agreements imperil Canadian democracy.

Quietly, over a period of many years, unconstitutional legislation encompassed in Bills C-51, C-6, and the current Bill C-36 have placed not only basic civil liberties and freedoms at risk, but Canada’s national sovereignty as well. The film shares how entangling alliances with groups like the World Trade Organization, the World Health Organization, Codex Alimentarius, the United States and even multinational corporate interests have become so powerful that they literally threaten to make elected officials in Parliament irrelevant.

A QUESTION OF SOVEREIGNTY discusses why this dramatic shift in the balance of power puts the nation and its people at a vital crossroad early in the 21st century — and why some of the past giants of Canadian politics may hold the answers to Canada’s future.
