Question: Are they over protecting the Polar Bear, because of global warming? "Testimony of Kassie Siegel", (globalwarming.house.gov... or epw.senate.gov), page 24, "The Endangered Species Act Will Provide Substantial Benefits To The Polar Bear", The Endangered Species Act is our nation's safety net... has already benefited the polar bear,... and has an important role to play in addressing global warming. Pressure has been put Dirk Kempthorne, Secretary of U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, to list Polar Bears as endangered, by Kassie Siegel, Senior Counsel, Climate Law Institute Director, Climate Air and Energy Program Director (Lawyer), of the Center for Biology Diversity (Graduate of Boalt Hall School of Law- Kassie Siegel). There after Greenpeace and the National Resource Defense Cousel joined forces with the Center for Biology Diversity. The WWF believes 20,000 to 25,000 Polar Bears are in the World, and are not endangered. Then there are reports Polar Bears are under weight, starving, and losing territory, ice. The fact that Polar Bears have increased three times since 1970 when they stopped hunting for Polar Bears. The Polar Bear has been over protected, and since population control hasn't been enforced, the Polar Bear will suffer, die because of man (over population of the Polar Bear), not global warming. In the future, these groups who let the population get out of control, will likely be held accountable for mismanagement. Man helped the Polar Bear in population growth, by not allowing hunting. Over hunting is wrong and under hunting is wrong. Now the Polar Bear is suffering, losing territory, competeing with one another, and even eating each other. Population management must be enforced before it is to late. Do you believe the Polar Bear has been over protected since the 1970s?

Answer: If you protect polar bears it means you want more baby seals and walruses to be bitten to death. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0oh8GgRaYT0

Question: What's the LIKELIHOOD due to its ENORMOUS UNPOPULARITY that OBAMA will USE the FIFTY VOTE RULE? President Obama’s budget director said the White House would consider using a Senate procedural tactic so that only 50 votes would be rquired to pass major healthcare and energy reforms. Peter Orszag, the director of the Office of Management and Budget, said the administration would prefer not to use the budget reconciliation process to push through its package. But he added: "We have to keep everything on the table. We want to get these.... important things done this year." Orszag called healthcare in particular "the key to our fiscal future." http://thehill.com/leading-the-news/obama-considers-50-vote-strategy-on-energy-healthcare-2009-03-01.html

Answer: Obama will use any tactic to force his socialistic marxist agenda into rule Obama is a clear and present danger to our great country.

Question: It’s a Small World Ain’t It? Why are we attacking the people of Yemen? Because some kid is alleged to have sewn a big fire-cracker into his underwear then sat on it in a plane over Detroit? Nope. Not even close. If you want to know what this is all about, follow Daddy’s money all the way to the IMF and Jaiz Bank. http://jaizinternationalplc.com/board_of_directors_management_staff.html Correct me if I am wrong, but didn’t brave soldiers used to throw themselves on grenades back in the day to absorb the shock and therefore save their fellow soldiers. Isn’t there a saying about “throwing yourself on a grenade� to that end? So the big “terrorist� plot here is to get a small amount of PETN onboard a plane and then SIT ON IT, thus absorbing the relatively small explosion… with his ass and his 150lb body? That’s the “plan� that requires, as President Obama blusters, “every element of national power� to fight? I don’t think so. You gotta look a little closer than a singed pair of tightie-whities if you want to know why President Obama is going to kill more people in Yemen. I have. Take a look. The other day I wrote about President Obama’s attempt to assassinate a witness in Yemen as well as the IMF and World Bank connections related to that nation as the probable reason the US feels compelled to invade. The premise was, that with all the free-market “reforms� being forced on the people of Yemen by these privately owned international banking institutions, the poor of that nation were rising up against the corrupt government and it looks like without our help, there will be a regime change. I wrote about the involvement of the Kuwait Energy company and their connections with the World Bank as it relates to the multiple ongoing oil and LNG pipelines running throughout the country. Basically, I estimated based on information from the websites and publications from the World Bank, IMF, and Kuwait Energy websites that there was about a quarter of a billion dollars at stake and that it was that money that was the reason President Obama chose to attack the people of Yemen. Once again, Obama and his administration (just like Bush and pals) are serving the banks interests first. Since July of 2009, money has been pouring into Yemen fast and furious; money that may never be recovered were there to be a revolution and subsequent regime change in that nation. President Obama can’t allow that to happen. But how is he going to go to the American people and tell them that foreign investors and international banks are worried about their billions in investments in the “reforms� of Yemen’s socioeconomic system? That wouldn’t be an easy sell to a post TARP Bill nation now would it? Enter Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab and his ridiculous “underwear bomb�. Now, all this time after the terrorist attack on Flight 253 (and I will call it that because whether it was done by one “lone gunman� or the state, it’s still an attempt to effect change through the use of fear so it is terrorism) what do we really know about Abdulmutallab? Well, we have been told by an agency that has lied to us many, many times that he has “confessed� to the attack because he was “radicalized� and that he received help from terrorists in Yemen. All too convenient a story isn’t it? Billions on the line in Yemen, Obama tries to assassinated a guy there killing scores of innocent people instead, and ALL OF A SUDDEN we have this guy coming out of the woodwork with his silly “underwear bomb�. After scouring though all his emails (I told you they keep every single comment and email forever) the only “radical� thing the media can say about him… is he’s lonely. Imaging that; a lonely student. Well, what isn’t the MSM and President Obama telling you about Abdulmutallab that is relevant to the story? Let me fill in some blanks. 1. The Underwear Bomber’s IMF and World Bank indebted Father Abdulmutallab’s father is indeed a banker just as the MSM has said. The interesting thing is, he’s not JUST a banker, he is THE banker in Nigeria. According to a recent Times story, Abdulmutallab’s father, Umaru Mutallab is one of the wealthiest men in Africa; that says a lot in a continent as corrupt as Africa. In Nigeria, the nation Umaru Mutallab lives in, according to the World Bank, 53% of the population lives on less than $1 per day. Abject poverty is rampant in Nigeria and so are human rights violations. Kinda has to be that way to keep the super wealthy in control of the population. How did Abdulmutallab’s father become so wealthy in the first place? Umaru Mutallab was the Nigerian Minister of Economic Development in 1975. He then spent a decade as the Managing Director and CEO of United Bank for Africa. For the last ten years, Umaru has been the chairman of the First Bank of Nigeria. So, Abdulmutallab’s father was instrumental through his government position in facilitating the World Bank and IMF’s entrance into the Nigerian economic system. He then He then goes on to head up several banks making himself filthy rich while the vast majority of Nigeria is impoverished to unprecedented degrees all the time and kept in check by ruthless police and military oppression. That’s the “underwear bomber’s� “banker� father; a corrupt Nigerian banker with excessive connections to the IMF and the World Bank and who OWES everything he has to them. So far what we know about Daddy Warbucks is this; he went to the State Department (U.S. Embassy) and then he went to the CIA offices in Nigeria supposedly to “warn� them about his “radicalized� son. Yet, no emails or web comments appear to make Abdulmutallab look very radical. So why was Daddy Warbucks with his deep IMF and World Bank connections really meeting with the State Department (US Embassy) and CIA? Why is it that after the supposed “warnings� Abdulmutallab was STILL able to get on that flight with all the warning signs and red flags? Hmm?

Answer: The underwear bomber's 80 grams of PETN is enough to blow a hole in the body of the airplane. The shoe bomber had 50. Fifty grams should so something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZENvUVG6TE Apparently, here is what 20 grams can do: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aleeJ9Rg4Hw&feature=related I believe there is a Devil and he is building the NWO. He can fly around the world at the speed of light unless he is opposed (and he is). The evil elites may or may not know exactly what they are doing.

Question: diet works to treat epilepsy. What's your reaction ??? Evidence a High-Fat Diet Works to Treat Epilepsy Meryl Streep and Seth Adkins in "First Do No Harm," a 1997 film about the diet and epilepsy. By ALIYAH BARUCHIN Published: May 6, 2008 A formerly controversial high-fat diet has proved highly effective in reducing seizures in children whose epilepsy does not respond to medication, British researchers are reporting. As the first randomized trial of the diet, the new study lends legitimacy to a treatment that has been used since the 1920s but has until recently been dismissed by many doctors as a marginal alternative therapy. “This is the first time that we’ve really got Class 1 evidence that this diet works for treatment of epilepsy,� said Dr. J. Helen Cross, professor of pediatric neurology at University College London and Great Ormond Street Hospital. She is a principal investigator on the study, which will appear in the June issue of The Lancet Neurology.Though its exact mechanism is uncertain, the diet appears to work by throwing the body into ketosis, forcing it to burn fat rather than sugar for energy. Breakfast on the diet might consist of bacon, eggs with cheese, and a cup of heavy cream diluted with water; some children drink oil to obtain the fats that they need. Every gram of food is weighed, and carbohydrates are almost entirely restricted. Breaking the diet with so much as a few cookies can cause seizures to flare up.For the British trial, the researchers enrolled 145 children ages 2 to 16 who had never tried the diet, who were having at least seven seizures a week and who had failed to respond to at least two anticonvulsant drugs. One group began the ketogenic diet immediately. The control group waited three months before starting it. In the first group, 38 percent of the children had seizure rates reduced by half, compared with 6 percent in the control group. Five children in the diet group had reductions exceeding 90 percent. Perceptions of the diet have changed sharply in the last decade. In 1993, a Hollywood producer, Jim Abrahams, took his 1-year-old son, Charlie, to Dr. John M. Freeman at the Pediatric Epilepsy Center at Johns Hopkins, which was one of the few centers championing the diet. Within three days of starting the diet, Charlie’s incapacitating seizures, which had resisted multiple medications and surgery, stopped entirely.With his wife, Nancy, Mr. Abrahams founded the Charlie Foundation to Help Cure Pediatric Epilepsy to promote education about the diet. He produced an instructional video for parents and a made-for-television movie, “First Do No Harm,� starring Meryl Streep as a mother who seeks out the diet for her child. As a result of the Johns Hopkins work, research on the diet blossomed and it became a standard treatment at hospitals and epilepsy centers in the United States and abroad.Dr. Shlomo Shinnar, director of the Comprehensive Epilepsy Management Center at the Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx, called the new study “an important trial that lays to rest the issue of ‘Does it really work or not?’ � Although the diet has to be medically supervised, Dr. Shinnar said, it is a mistake to believe that it requires extensive hospital resources and a staff’s constant attention. “Here they don’t have this,� he said of the British trial. “This study makes it clear that this actually can be made to work in a community setting

Answer: Ketogenic diet is a well known adjunctive treatment for some epileptic patients. There are over 40 different drugs in the US used to control seizures, and they are sometimes used in combinations. Even with all that choice, some patients are still unable to be managed with medication alone. There are patients in whom a ketogenic diet is effective in reducing seizures or reducing the number or amount of drugs needed. It's not a cure-all, any more than any of the drugs is. It's just another tool that physicians can use to help people with epilepsy.

Answer: There are a few studies that have been done on the ketogenic diet. The main problem associated with it I think is that it is extremely difficult to stick with. There can also be some growth stunting. I think it is definitely worth more research though.

Question: Corporate joke: Job promotion ? A 26-yr old employee entered the CEO's cabin and placed some files on his desk. He looked tense and nervous over a past incident and was expecting the worst. Before he could say anything in his defence, the Boss spoke, "So young man, how long have you been with our organization?" "1 year, Sir." "You remember the day when I personally recruited you as trainee?" "Y-es, Sir." "You remember your first day in training with your injury in the factory and me promptly transferreing you here - into this head office?" "Yes, Sir". "You remember when you had an altercation with your colleagues and I promptly promoted you to management?" "Yes, Sir." "You remember the day you screwed up our yearly financials which forced my competent staff to spend additional man-hours in providing remedy which cost us lot of time, energy, money. I still promoted you as a Director." "Yes, Sir." "You remember the day your when your sexual advances on John's daughter that too in a boardroom meeting cost us a huge contract worth millions?" "Yes, Sir." "And now what do I see. Last Friday on our company's Golden Jubilee foundation event which was attended by all employees, you failed to make your presence. I've learnt from reliable sources you spent that day drinking, womanising and were not reachable on phone. Is that correct?" "Yes, Sir." "Well, young man - I'm really tired of you and your repeat indiscretions. Do you understand this?" "Yes, Sir." "I'm also growing old and want to retire from work. Now, you know very well I've called you here to take off the responsibility from my shoulders so I could concentrate on other activities which require more attention - for example, gardening, ice-fishing, spending time with my family." "Yes, Sir." "Do you realize you're going to be the new CEO of ____ Companies? What do you say to that?" "Umm...Thanks, DAD."

Question: Which of these Obama appointees do you like the best? John Holdren: Director, White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (Science Czar). In 1973, he advocated a “de-development� of the U.S. so the country may be “in line with the realities . . . of the world’s resource situation.� He has also favored government mandated family sizes. Gil Kerlikowski: Director, White House Office of National Drug Control Policy (Drug Czar). As police chief in Seattle, he permitted methadone vans, free needle exchanges and medical marijuana, and made marijuana possession the lowest priority of law enforcement. Gary Locke: Secretary of Commerce. During his tenure as governor of Washington, questions were raised regarding conflicts of interest arising from the state’s dealings with a company run by his brother-in-law — who was living in the executive mansion at the time. Kathleen Merrigan: Deputy Secretary of Agriculture. She urges the creation and expansion of expensive federal programs to support organic farming — while acknowledging that there is no proof organic food is any better than conventionally grown food. Mercedes Marquez: Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, Department of Housing and Urban Development. As general manager of the Los Angeles Housing Department, Marquez crusaded for affordable housing — but “much more affordable housing was lost in L.A. on Marquez’s watch then was built,� the release noted. Karen Mills: Administrator of the Small Business Administration. An heir to the Tootsie Roll fortune, Mills has spearheaded ventures that have for the most part either failed or brought mediocre results to her investors. She has voiced support for legislation diverting small business contracts to venture capitalists. Ron Sims: Deputy Secretary, Department of Housing and Urban Development. While Sims was the King County Executive in Washington State, his office “lied and refused to provide documents that it was legally required to provide� to an investigator probing a county deal, according to ALG. The county was fined $120,000. William Spriggs: Assistant Secretary for Policy, Department of Labor. In April 2008, while the U.S. was in the grips of the recession, Spriggs co-authored a report calling for a substantial increase in the minimum wage. Cass Sunstein: Administrator, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, White House Office of Management and Budget (Regulatory Czar). Sunstein supports the “Fairness Doctrine,� which would rein in conservative talk radio, and has suggested that animals might be given standing to sue in civil court. Cathy Zoi: Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Department of Energy. She ran a group started by former Vice President Al Gore that ran TV ads asking viewers to demand that we “repower� America with 100 percent clean energy within 10 years.

Answer: None. They're all radical socialists. Thanx for the 2 pts.

Answer: She's a hockey mom. She was the mayor of a town that's constantly dark for six months a year. And she's governor of the state that's closest to Russia. And as Fox News said, this gives her foreign relations experience.

Question: Is the press beginning to see through Al Gore's global warming scam? Is the press beginning to see through Al Gore's global warming scam? A brief article posted at Newsweek's website offers hope that the media might finally be recognizing the former Vice President could be this decade's Ken Lay. For those that have forgotten, Lay was the CEO of Enron (h/t NBer well99, emphasis added): Since 2000, according to published reports, the former veep has transformed himself from a public servant with around $1 million in the bank to a sparkling private consultant with a net worth estimated to be north of $100 million. He's a senior adviser to Google, a board member at Apple and now a newly minted general partner at Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, the Silicon Valley venture-capital firm that made billions investing early in Netscape, Amazon and Google. Gore has pledged to hand over his KP "salary" to Alliance for Climate Protection, a nonprofit he chairs. But the gift is more symbolic than material. Gore's salary-his cut of the 2 percent "management fee" that KP partners get on all investments-is typically a sliver of the total compensation that VCs receive. If Gore's profit-sharing deal is anything like the firm's other 23 partners, he's also in line to collect tens of millions of dollars a year. That's because partners carve up 30 percent of the profits if and when the alternative-energy start-ups that KP supports go public or are sold. (Kleiner Perkins declined to comment on Gore's compensation, but his communications director, Kalee Kreider, confirmed that he plans to donate only his "guaranteed income" to charity.) Should Gore's prospecting unearth a clean-energy gold mine the size of Google-which earned billions for KP partners-his share of the loot could make him U.S. history's richest ex-veep. Granted, this is just a blurb at Newsweek's website. However, at some point, journalists have to start exploring the wealth that Gore is creating for himself while he tells regular citizens to walk to work in order to save the planet. Is this the beginning?

Answer: Link(s) please, otherwise no one knows if your posting facts, or blowing smoke up their backside. Peace Jim .

Answer: it is only the "many" that belive that we are all going to die in 20years that actually listen to him. in this video, you will hear the great AL GORE himself disprove KYOTO http://youtube.com/watch?v=Ho0Lda-i3oY THESE ARE REAL QUOTES. Canada's former environmental minister, Christine Stewart. "Climate change provides the greatest chance to bring about justice and equality in the world." Excuse me? Climate change is the greatest chance to bring justice and equality in the world? How is that, Christine Stewart? Quote, same person. This is the former environmentalist of Canada. Quote: No matter if the science is all phony, there is still collateral environmental benefits to global warming policies. “Unless we announce disasters, no one will listen.� Sir John Houghton, first chairman of IPCC A.K.A. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Stephen Schneider “To capture the public imagination, we have to offer up some scary scenarios, make simplified dramatic statements and little mention of any doubts one might have. Each of us has to decide the right balance between being effective and being honest�. Who is Stephen Schneider? He was the lead UN IPCC report author and climate alarmist. In 2007 he is still a major role. Regarding Kyoto, two international leaders have said it best. Margot Wallstrom, the EU's Environment Commissioner states that Kyoto is “about leveling the playing field for big businesses worldwide.� French President Jacques Chirac said during a speech at the Hague in November 2000 that Kyoto represents “the first component of authentic global governance.� If you think i made this up, Google the quotes.

Answer: Honestly most people who do what he has done are full of false modesty, they like to have an important title but have absolutely no idea or plan or strategy in place to achieve this plan, isn't it any wonder that the world is going through an economical crisis, all because the big bosses and politicians are too short sighted and have lost total contact with the real world and have no idea how to overcome the problems that they have not foreseen :)

Question: Please help me come up with a "regimented diet"? Hey guys. I know nutritional knowledge is important and I AM interested, but I am preparing for military service and I really want to get fit as soon as possible and change the health of my body to better serve. To this end I would love to have something like an "ultimate diet" where I wouldn't have to worry about how much I eat/drink, or exactly WHAT I eat or drink in any given day. First off, some (relevant?) info on me: I am about to turn 20. I weigh ~160 pounds. I am about 5"6.5'. I run three times a day, for between 20-40 minutes on average, my goal being at least 2.5 miles every time. I do some weights and calasthenics (I messed that spelling I know) but none consistently, which I'm going to work to change. I am very committed to this goal. Secondly, this is the only thing like this I've seen in my cursory reading tonight: "WEIGHT LOSS DIET The program was developed in conjunction with the grant from U.S. Department of agriculture and their Food & Drug Administration. It was field tested at the John Hopkins Research Center and was approved by the Board of Directors of General Motor Corporation at a general meeting on August 15, 1995. It is management's intention to facilitate a welfare and fitness program for everyone. This program is designed for a target weight loss of 5 to 6 Kgs per week. It will also improve your attitude and emotions because of its systematic cleansing effects. The effectiveness of this seven day plan is that the foods eaten burn more calories than they give to the body in calorific value. This plan can be used as often as you like without any fear of complications. It is designed to flush your system of impurities and give you feeling of well being. After seven days you will begin to feel lighter by at least 10 pounds. You will have an abundance of Energy and an improved digestion. DURING THESE SEVEN DAYS YOU MUST DRINK 10 GLASSES OF WATER EACH DAY. Day One: All fruits except bananas: Your first day will consist of all fruits you want. It is suggested you consume lots of melons the first day, especially water melons. Day Two: All vegetables: You are encouraged to eat until you are stuffed with all the raw and cooked vegetables of your choice. There is no limit of the amount or type. Avoid Oil and coconut while cooking vegetables. Have a large boiled potato for breakfast. Day Three: Any mixture of fruits and vegetables of your choice: Any amount, any quantity. No bananas and no potatoes today. Day Four: Bananas and Milk: today you will eat as many as eight bananas and drink three glasses of milk. You can also have one bowl of vegetable soup. Day Five: Today is a feast day: You will eat 1 cup of rice. You also have to eat six whole tomatoes. Drink 13 glasses of water today to cleanse your system of the excess uric acid you will be producing. Day Six: Today is another all Vegetables day. You may eat 1 cup of rice today. Eat all vegetables you want cooked and uncooked to your hearts content. Day Seven: Today your food intake will consist of 1 cup of rice, fruit juices and all the vegetables you care to consume. Tomorrow Morning you will be five to eight Kgs lighter than 1 week ago. If you desire further weight loss, repeat the program again. Repeat this program as often as you like. However it is suggested that you rest for three days before every repetition. You have your system under control now and it will thank you for all the purging and cleansing you just gave it. Even more that a diet programs it is good to follow this diet once in a while to clean your digestive system and remove toxic substances that have accumulated in the system. ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: The most important element of the program is 10 tall glasses of water a day. You can also flavour the water with some lemon to make the drinking easier. While on program take only black coffee. Never more that 1 teaspoon of oil. Preferably do not use oil because of high calorific content. No fruit juices before day seven. Here is what happens to your body while you are on this program and how and why it works. Day One: you are preparing your system for upcoming program. Your only source of nutrition is fresh fruits. Fruits are nature's perfect food. They provide everything you can possibly want to sustain life except total balance and variety. Day two: Starts with mix of complex carbohydrates in the form of boiled potato. This is taken in the morning to provide energy and balance. The rest of day two consists of vegetables, which are virtually calorie free and provide essential nutrients and fibers. Day three eliminates the potato because you get your carbohydrates from fruits. Your system is now prepared to start burning excess pounds. Day four bananas and milk sound the least desirable. Today is the day you can have coffee with milk. You are in for a surprise. You probably will not be able to eat all the bananas allowed. But they are there for the potassium you have lost an

Answer: Please do not follow this diet. It is a fad diet. Fad diets do not work. I'll tell you what I do not like about this diet. This diet does not provide sufficient fat or protein. Both are essential nutrients. This is basically a semi-starvation diet. You will lose lots of lean muscle mass as your body wastes away. It is very difficult for people to sustain wt. loss of more than 1 lb a week. A pound of fat= 3500 calories. If you burn 500 calories more per day than you eat than you will lose 1 lb a week. If you lose more than this you are losing water weight by dehydrating yourself, losing weight at an unsafe rate through semi-starvation, and you will not be able to maintain this weight loss. Don't believe me? Americans spend billions on weight loss programs and products each year. If these fad diets worked than 2/3 of adult Americans would not be overweight or obese. Losing weight takes patience, persistence, and a desire to learn how to eat healthfully. Most people find that exercise is needed to help them create a large enough calorie deficit to lose weight. There is no quick fix. If you want to lose weight I would highly recommend talking to a registered dietitian (RD). An RD is a nutrition expert that can help set up a customized diet plan for you to help you lose weight. Contact your local hospital for more information. Good luck.
