ON THE TAKE

ON THE TAKE

Written by: Jeff R Hilton

***

It seems like everyone is on the take these days. Governments on the take from pharmaceutical companies. Doctors, lawyers, construction firms, politicians, bankers. I'm sure I have missed lots of others and thankfully,not all listed participate, but enough do to have an effect on peoples everyday lives in adverse ways. We are taken advantage of and duped so often by so many, it has almost become acceptable and second nature. 

We are deceived, lied to and in many cases, some people have no clue about it and accept things as they come without ever questioning anyone's motives. These people that blindly follow without question, are what helps this to continue and even thrive. In Canada, we were duped and lied to for years about so many things by the liberals, that the conservatives were a breath of fresh air in comparison.

Of course once our trust was gained, the conservatives adopted the same techniques for unfairly extracting monies from the populace and in general, just misleading the public

and only telling us what they think we should know. It didn't take them long to get into bed with the drug companies either. If you knew half of what was going on behind your back, you would be beside yourself and quite angry I'm sure.

What makes or did make this country great is our founding fathers, pioneers of modernity. The people that built the country from the ground up. I cannot grasp the idea that it ever had to do anything with any politicians, and it still doesn't. What our founding fathers did for us, is crumbling around us because of politicians. 

Whenever an invention is created to eliminate gas or diesel engines, or even create astronomical gas mileage, these inventions are bought out by oil companies, car companies and governments alike, This has proven to be true over and over. The same goes for any cheap energy ideas that have merit. Why? because the oil companies won't rest until they have drained every last drop of oil from the earth and the billions of dollars collected from it. They certainly don't want anyone raining on their parade or ebbing the flow of billions of dollars going into their pockets.

Some of the present flu vaccinations exist only because the drug companies say so to the government and in at least one case, a vaccination that is widely used has never had any clinical tests to prove it's effectiveness. It's just a way to make more money and put more people on the take.

People have died from some of these vaccines as a result.

Have you ever noticed the continuous bombardment of new drugs on the market and advertised on television that are released at an astounding rate? Almost every one of these seems to have warnings as long as your arm, of more serious harm to us then the actual afflictions they are supposed to eliminate or relieve. Not one of these inspires enough confidence in me to ever take any of these drugs.

As for food and drink for human consumption, Monsanto has given so much money to governments that they are willing to take at face value whatever Monsanto says, and it says genetically modified seed and aspartame is completely safe. The governments like Monsanto's money so much they even appointed the head honcho to oversee the food and drug administration in the USA, responsible for our good health. The same goes for Health Canada.

If you are not worried about some of this stuff then you are out of touch with reality or just don't care. My role here is merely to be informative and hope that more people jump off the fence and become active in fighting for just causes and see things for what they really are. If I knew what to do about all this myself, I wouldn't be here. I would be out doing it. The world needs more activists and as they say, United we stand, divided we fall. We need people that stand up to safeguard what is right and good for the benefit of all mankind.

HIPPIES NO SLOUCHES

HIPPIES NO SLOUCHES

Perhaps hippies were right, they do know where it's at.

They also spawned some very fine environmentalists and have been touting the values of natural foods for years. I see in the news that Pepsico, owner of the Gatorade trademark have announced that they will be removing the ingredient in Gatorade that is brominated vegetable oil, which Mountain dew also contains. This substance is actually patented as a fire retardant and is banned in Japan and the European Union. This comes after the company was pressured by the Sports community.  Pepsico has definitely made a step in the right direction there.

Now if only the rest of the food, snack makers, and drink makers would follow suit that easily and get rid of GMO's and particularly make the connection that Aspartame is not in any way beneficial to ones health and in fact detrimental to having good health. Chocolate laced with GMO soy bean oil has me and many others cutting back on chocolate and even avoiding it when it's known to have GMO in it.

Sugar is absolutely the lesser evil. Yes,white refined sugar is not good for you. When I say sugar I mean raw natural cane sugar and any products that need sweetening should look no further than that, honey or molasses. Anything natural.

Diet pop is the biggest joke on the planet. Loaded with Aspartame, this stuff can actually help you to gain weight and develop some serious illnesses. I shudder everytime I see someone drinking diet pop. Educated people usually have a good handle on eating and drinking well and healthy, this being the exception.

More people need to band together to get the point across that natural and organic foods lend themselves to longevity and promote good health. Educate yourself against what companies like Monsanto are trying to do and join the movement against this evil tyranny bent on turning everyone into a chemically induced zombie state ripe for being brainwashed,malleable and doing exactly what your government asks of you without question. Does this sound far fetched? I and many other think not!
Keep in mind that cancer did not exist until man started introducing facory made foods full of chemicals.

Give me natural and make it affordable. Quit trying to shove toxic chemicals down our throats every time we turn around. If your government leaders really cared about your well being, there would be no such thing as Aspartame for human consumption. That goes for both the FDA and Health Canada.Long live the hippies and their ideals. Stamp out chemical additives known to be harmful. At the end of the day, it's all up to you.

DEATH BY CHOCOLATE NOW A REAL POSSIBILITY

DEATH BY CHOCOLATE NOW A REAL POSSIBILITY

Written by; J. R Hilton

It's the same old story, if it's good for you or fun, someones going to spoil it for everyone and turn it into something different and very bad. In this case it's evil. Chocolate has been making a lot of people happy for centuries, releasing feel good endorphins, even saving peoples lives perhaps.

like most things, the further back in time you go, the healthier these things usually were. I'm sure in war time that chocolate was always well received.  

Many of the present day snack companies along with mass producers of chocolate, seem to be taking a gamble that doesn't seem a likely success, and more likely and even hopefully they will put themselves out of business all by themselves or stand up and do the right thing.

Whether they will in time before their demise from declining sales as people educate themselves against the dangers of consuming any products that contain, corn, soy, wheat, or any other plant grown with genetically modified seed a.k.a. GMO.

Add Aspartame to this combination to make it even more deadly. I try to avoid Aspartame like the plague but I happened to pick up some gum the other day that I thought did not contain these products,  but after chewing 4 pieces of this gum, I developed an instant headache. When I read the label, sure enough it contained enough Aspartame to choke a horse. I otherwise never get headaches. I can experience the same thing if I have even one sip of a diet pop. I'm not a scientist or even an expert here to espouse the scientific facts for or against. What I am though, is a self preservationist who believes in transparency in government.

YOU SHOULD KNOW WHAT'S IN IT BEFORE EATING IT

I don't think I have to tell you the root cause of this toxic mess being quietly shoved down everyone's throat, but anyone with any self preservation skills would know that it's companies the likes of Monsanto that's immorally corrupting governments with billions of dollars, who in turn are okaying whatever Monsanto does and turning both Health Canada and the F.D.A. into a laughable safety net to protect Canadians and Americans, while undermining the very reasons their responsibilities are supposed to uphold.

I have already stopped buying a lot of products that now contain GMO or Aspartame and it's various other namesakes. Wake up people, you can't even enjoy an apple anymore unless it's certified organic as pesticides change more than the safety. I grew up on a farm and sometimes I wish I was still there with the empowerment that growing your own food gives one. I would be 100% organic, all the way.

Kudos to the Peruvians that recently voted to keep GMO's out of their country. Everyone should educate themselves and their children about the dangers of GMO's and artificial sweeteners to ensure a healthy future for all. Make your voice heard and be active in matters that concern our health and welfare.

The trials and tribulations of modern day man are becoming increasingly complicated. People are constantly bombarded by the media with things that give plenty of reason to worry about them.  At the same time we are told that worry is bad for our health.  How many of you have ever been told that you worry too much ?  I know I have. What if we change the word to concern ?  I think that I don't worry so much as I have serious concerns that are legitimate at times. 

Call it what you want, but don't tell me I worry too much when my whole future is on the line on a personal level and my health is in jeopardy. At the moment, I don't know what or how,where or even if, in regards to my future. Many of you may have similar personal concerns. Above personal concerns there's lots of things we should be concerned about.

I'd like to know where this is.

What about the seriousness of the depth that corruption, deception and even conspiracies go to in political circles ?
What about companies like Monsanto and the likes being in bed with political leaders ?  So the experts claim that with the current level of population growth, food production will not be able to keep up with the demand. It's already been proven that GMO's  are one of the biggest health risks ever perpetuated by man. 

Ya that instills confidence

As you eat your way through life everyday, keep in mind that your Government is allowing you to become a participant of what could be an attempt at a population cull. Your chances of not getting seriously ill from consuming products with Aspartame and genetically modified seeds are not good. The benefits of Soy have been touted as healthy. Perhaps it was, but not if GMO seeds are being used to plant the Soy. 

The list of food that contains aspartame and or GMO is growing longer by the day and we the people must fight back any way we can. First, you need to be educated as to exactly what foods and candy contain these toxic time-bombs. It's not hard information to find on the web.

     

 All this has certainly changed my eating and snacking habits. Is it conspiracy or just plain pigs in the trough greed fueled by money and power ? 

How about the weather, is anyone concerned about that ?
Storms that are increasing with frequency and severity. There are even conspiracy theories about this. People that live in low lying areas below sea level and right on the coast should be concerned and even rethink their choice of location. Exposed to storms and Tsunamis from earthquakes, I think I would move inland and make a stand from there. The exception being not in a known hurricane alley.

Solar flares, doomsday forecasters, war, famine, genocide.
Don't worry. Just be very concerned and protect yourself and your family by using clear logic and mans ancient protection mechanism of fight or flight. Whether you believe in conspiracy or not it's good to at least know what they are about. As for food. You are what you eat has taken on a whole new meaning that your survival and your health depends on.

Picking Puppies

Picking Puppies

Written by: Jeff R Hilton

When you go out to look at puppies with obtaining one in mind, you probably are already armed with at least some information, like knowing what kind of breed you are going to see, based on research that matched up your needs to the dogs needs. Possibly their age and sex, and beyond that a decision is often based on what each puppy looks like and the one that you are attracted to the most. Getting the latest designer dog, meaning the breed that is currently trending is usually not a good idea. Stick to a breed that does match your needs and meets theirs as a responsible owner.

There are other things to consider. Which one comes to you willingly. Which ones have more energy, or are they all charged up ?  If you are interested in a certain one, see if it makes a fuss when you put a paw gently in your hand and hold it, or is patient enough to just let you and wait for you to finish. Pick the pup up carefully and cradle it. Does it wriggle like mad and try to get away. If so, this is usually not a good sign if you are looking for a more mellow laid back dog that's easy to train.

Watch all of them play together and look for any signs of aggression from one to another. One might be more aggressive then the others. chances are, you probably won't want that one. Look for clear eyes and no signs of any discharge. Look at the pups parents and note their temperament, as this will almost always be an indicator to the kind of dog the pups will become. Pups that are okay with you handling them and meet a few other criteria including temperament of parents, are often chosen to be service dogs for disabled people. It is for the same reason that these kinds of dogs usually make well rounded family pets.

With such a large percentage of aging population, the need for more service dogs will continue to grow steadily. Most people only think of service dogs as, seeing eye dogs for the blind, but in fact, their talents extend so far beyond that so as to be quite amazing accomplishments for our canine friends. Dogs are used for petting therapy for the elderly and the sick. They are used for search and rescue. As aide's to wheelchair bound persons, constantly retrieving items needed for everyday life, even helping out to put clothes on and that list is almost endless with possibilities.

 PRESS PLAY ABOVE

 
If you are an absolute dog lover with lots of patience, you like to train dogs and are knowledgeable with a knack for it  you might even consider a career training service dogs yourself. Do not buy animals from puppy mills. It's morally wrong and in all likelihood, it will cost you more in the long run as most come with a host of dangerous ailments already present. When it comes time for neutering or spaying, always use a reputable vet clinic.  

Dogs have a great record as stress reducers and although most can cause stress at one time or another, in the end, it's all worth it for mans best friend.

DOG LOVER FOR LIFE

Chloe

DOG LOVER FOR LIFE

Written by: Jeffrey R Hilton

 

***

Dogs have been a best friend of man for 1000's of years. Although their relationships and purposes varied, one common theme has remained and that is one of a faithful and loyal companion. It's often sad to see that there are varying degrees of what people deem as dog ownership in regards to their well being and care.

 

There are always people around that have bigger hearts than their own ability to maintain an ongoing healthy relationship with the dog. Yes I'm talking about Rescue Dogs. While it's a noble gesture, most people don't realize how psychologically damaged some of these dogs can be and the time and patience needed for such an animal. Taking on a rescue dog is a huge responsibility and for those that are willing to rescue a dog and put in the extra work and expertise it takes to rehabilitate them along with all the kindness, you are to be commended.

It takes a lot more than a big heart and willingness to succeed at rehab. Behavioral problems can develop or exist in any dog but a dog that has been abused can be especially challenging to even get them to gain your complete trust.

If there is a message I am trying to convey, it is that any fool can own a dog, but it takes a true dog lover to patiently work through problems as they arise and to willingly seek out advice from experts on such matters and particularly to own a rescue dog.

These dogs often come with little or no information as to what the dog has been through, the exception being the information gathered from the dogs condition, behaviors and present reactions to his surroundings and his charges.

 

The amount of free dogs available online now is alarming but certainly the right place to start looking and highly recommended rather than supporting a surplus of breeder

supplied dogs at inflated prices. If you are on a tight budget and looking for a certain breed to come up free, be patient and vigilant, it will show up. Always get a dog that has habits that reflect your own lifestyle. Match this as closely as you can but remember all dogs need exercise and stimulation. Some much more than others.

 

Safety Tips and Alerts

 

Never, I repeat never buy dog treats from dollar stores and particularly if they are from China as many dogs in North America have reportedly died lately from consuming these. 

 

Always be vigilant about your dog being in your backyard in regards to someone trying to poison your dog by throwing poisoned food into your yard. this occurs more often than you think as there are many people out there that do hate dogs and are sadistic and nasty enough to do such a thing. Often it's a dog that's left in the yard a lot and constantly barks. Some of these people would rather poison your dog than call animal services. Sad but true. I know of at least one person that had a note anonymously put in his mailbox saying that the writer would kill his dogs if he didn't shut them up.

WINDOW TO MY SOUL / A SONG LYRIC

HOW MANY ROADS

Written by : JR Hilton  June 30/2012

BENT AND BUSTED, I KNEW I SHOULDN'T HAVE TRUSTED

TIME WOULD BE KIND

BROKEN AND MENDED,  I KNEW I SHOULD HAVE TENDED TO MY SOUL MORE

THE THINGS THAT I KNEW WERE IMPORTANT

I THOUGHT WOULD ALWAYS BE THERE

I WAS WRONG,  OH BOY  WAS I WRONG

TIME AND TIME AGAIN

I WAS ONCE I WAS TWICE I WAS THREE TIMES IN A PLACE IN MY LIFE

I THOUGHT THAT I COULD STAY

I THOUGHT THAT IT WOULD BE OKAY

I WAS WRONG AND NOW IT'S ALL GONE

SCATTERED TO THE WINDS TO HANG THERE IN TIME

IN IT'S NEW REALITY

chorus

NOW EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE IS GONE

HOW MANY ROADS DO I HAVE TO TAKE

 SEEMS EVERY ONE SO FAR HAS BEEN A MISTAKE

I'M PUSHING BACK BUT I KNOW WHAT I'M UP AGAINST

ALWAYS A FIGHT TO KEEP ANYTHING I DARE CALL MINE

MAYBE ALL I NEED IS ME,  TO WALLOW IN THIS MISERY

EVEN THOUGH THAT'S NOT WHAT I BELIEVE

AND I'VE COME SO FAR

STILL LOOKING FOR MY LUCKY STARS

HOW MANY ROADS

NOW EVERY DAYS A STRUGGLE TO STAY HERE

WHEN THE SUN SHINES BEFORE THE SKIES GET DARK

CLOUDING OVER TO RAIN ON ME AGAIN

THAT GLIMMER OF HOPE AND THEN I FIND MYSELF

TAKING SHELTER PALE AS WHITE

WHY DOES IT ALWAYS HAVE TO BE A FIGHT

IS THERE ONLY PEACE AT THE END

ALL THESE EMOTIONS DANCING IN A KALEIDOSCOPE

SHAKE IT UP AGAIN COULD THERE BE ANY HOPE

MAKE IT REAL AND MAKE IT MINE

MAKE IT SWEET LIKE BLACKBERRY WINE

SOMETIMES I WISH THAT I COULD CLOSE MY EYES

OPEN THEM AGAIN TO SUNNY SKIES

THAT GO ON FOREVER

BUT JUST LIKE ALWAYS I NEVER SEE IT FOR LONG

NEVER GET TO BE IT BECAUSE IT NEVER TAGS ALONG

FREE IS JUST A STATE OF MIND,  I CAN'T SEEM TO GRASP

HAPPINESS IS FLEETING AS SURE AS TIME IS PAST

IF YOU WANT TO TAKE A CHANCE ON ME

HERE'S WHAT'S LEFT OF MY HEART
