"The individual is handicapped by coming face to face with a conspiracy so monstrous he
cannot believe it exists". -- J. Edgar Hoover, FBI Director 1924-1972, quoted in The
Elks Magazine (August 1956). "It is the duty of the patriot to protect his country from
its [corrupt feudal] government." -- Thomas Paine. "Each of you, for himself, by himself
and on his own responsibility, must speak". -- Mark Twain.  "The money powers prey upon
the nation in times of peace and conspire against it in times of adversity.  It is more
despotic than a monarchy, more insolent than autocracy, and more selfish than
bureaucracy.  It denounces as public enemies all who question its methods or throw light
upon its crimes.  I have two great enemies, the Southern Army in front of me and the
bankers in the rear. Of the two, the one at my rear is my greatest foe." -- President
Abraham Lincoln. "In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary
act." -- George Orwell.

How Television Affects Your Brain Chemistry -- And That's Not All!

Many of you believe watching TV is a harmless, entertaining activity worthy of your
attention, but the video below will give you some eye-opening things to consider.

In just under four minutes you'll learn why television is essentially a platform for
elite advertisers to peddle their wares, and how the steady stream of images could be
making your life in reality seem dull and slow in comparison.

"TV is an anesthetic for the pain of the modern World" - Astrid Alauda

"75% of TV air time is paid for by the Fortune 100 CEOs; Some budgets for TV ad range in
the billion"

Brain slips in the Alpha level where it is an equivalent to hypnosis, etc.cycles of
impulse and suppression since one cannot react to the imagery which is a technical
alteration of real life thus real life becomes dull compared to TV life; reality
distorted with fiction

Dr. Mercola's Comments: Dr. Mercola j...@mercola.com

Regular newsletter readers know that I am no fan of television, but I am obviously in
the minority here in the United States. The average American watches nearly FIVE HOURS
of TV a day. This is more than the amount of time I spend in front of a TV in a month,
and more than 90 percent of my TV time is spent watching health videos I need to review.

Imagine what you could do if you cut out TV and suddenly had five extra hours in your
day to do something productive, good for yourself (exercise!), creative... or maybe
simply to relax!

Beyond the time it takes up, though, is the very real impact it has on your brain. As
the video alludes, TV is one of the most powerful brainwashing devices there is.

Every year between the food industry and drug companies well over $50 billion is spent
on marketing messages to U.S. consumers to influence their food and medication choices.
The majority (75 percent) of commercial network television time is paid for by the 100
largest corporations in North America. Some of these companies even have budgets in the
billions, and not surprisingly these budgets have the power to influence TV producers to
create television that suits their agendas.

And, frequently, these agendas are not aligned with your best interests.

If you do choose to watch TV, even the network news, you must constantly ask yourself
who is trying to "sell" you something. But be warned, these corporations are spending
large amounts of money to seduce you, so even the most conscious person may not be
immune to the messages.

TV itself is not intrinsically evil, and there clearly are many great shows out there,
but the KEY is to NEVER watch the commercials. So if you have a TiVO or only watch DVDs
you will radically reduce the media's influence over you. I have been doing this for the
last 15 years, and it is one of the reasons why I have been able to get so much done.

I simply do not waste time in front of the TV. As I said earlier, I probably watch less
than five hours of non-commercial TV or DVDs per MONTH; typically an hour once a week
provides enough passive entertainment for me.

If Not for Yourself, Turn Off Your TV for Your Kids

As an adult, it's up to you to decide how much time you want to spend in front of your
TV (if any), but if you have kids I suggest you set a good example and dramatically
limit it.

A growing number of experts agree that allowing children under the age of three to watch
television can impair their linguistic and social development, and also put them at risk
of health problems including attention-deficit disorder, autism, and obesity.

Older kids are also at risk from watching TV. Too much time in front of the tube may:

* Change your child's views and food choices
* Make your kids fat
* Make your kids more materialistic
* Cause your children to go into more debt as adults
* Cause your children to be more aggressive
* Lead to smoking
* Increase your child's risk of becoming seriously injured

The good news is that one study found a great majority of parents -- 72 percent -- are
worried about their kids' exposure to the media.

However, only 23 percent actually took the step of restricting their kids' TV and video
game time.

Although giving up or limiting TV may seem like a drastic step, I suspect that once you
do it you will be thrilled by the new activities you and your family will begin to take
part in. and I doubt you will ever look back!
