"If it bleeds, we can kill it."

"In a democracy each person is
formally equal.
The
humblest citizen,
the most prestigious citizen
still only have one vote.
In reality
the humblest and
the wealthiest are totally
asymmetrical.
With
immense power they can literally crush the other completely.
This is the historical reason to
regulate markets." - Elaine Bernard
Coöperation, as
opposed to coercion,
generates economic wealth.
True free market
capitalism, in which businesses pay all
the costs of bringing products to market, is the most efficient and
democratic way of distributing the blessings of the land - and the
surest way to eliminate pollution.
Truly free markets,
allowed to function properly, value raw materials and encourage
producers to eliminate
waste by reducing, reusing, and recycling.
Free markets thrive when business is
undertaken by individuals that are responsible for the actions taken by the
business and they falter when
too-big-to-fail corporations
monopolize resources and externalize costs.
Corporatism,
crony capitalism, is the
anti-thesis of free
markets.
"In an unmanipulated free-market
economy, the private
participants or actors make decisions on their own. When billions of
decisions have to be made and re-made continuously, there is really no other
possible method that is efficient and effective at producing greater wealth and
welfare except decentralized
decision-making and choice." - Michael S. Rozeff
"Current economic system is not true
to free market theory.
This results in a
various forms of
overconsumption.
The
system fails to discourage monopolies and
concentrates
capital.
The system rewards
business that generate negative externalities.
Reliable factual information is
not easily available to
consumers.
Government and business
have become inexorably intertwined.
Massive subsidies tilt
the 'free' market playing
field toward highly
consumptive economic activities and away from others." - Donald O.
Mayer
"In the two plus centuries
a stable level of
prosperity is yet to be attained.
Spurts of apparent
prosperity have been continuously destroyed by
economic crashes that
have over and over again ruined
the lives of millions.
What if its intent
has never been the promotion of the people's prosperity?
What, if any, result has it attained consistently?
It has protected the wealth
of the privileged; preserved the status quo.
The privileged increase
their wealth in good times and bad." - John Kozy
"The narrative for corporate
America has changed. Government is not seen in opposition to the firm, but
as a partner." - Rakesh Khurana 03/28/09
True free market
economies equally enrich you and the
community.
Coal
burning utilities acidifing the Adirondack Lakes,
poison waterways with
mercury,
provoking asthma
attacks, and killing
neighbors every year are externalizing costs that should be reflected in
energy prices.
By avoiding the discipline of the free market
utilities enrich shareholders by putting their more
conscientious and efficient
competitors out of business.
Corporations do not want
competition, they want dependable profits, and their
surest route is to crush the
competition by controlling the State.
Domination of the State by
corporations eliminates free
markets, distorts of the entire
marketplace and eventually the loss of
representative democracy.
The largest federal
subsidies are going to monoculture agribusiness and
resource extraction
industries to avoid State regulation.
Men straight out of a Ayn Rand
novel: Richard Mellon Scaife,
Charles Hurwitz,
David Koch and
Joseph Coors (Heritage
Foundation).
Avoidance of State regulation
is combined with reliance on federal subsidies.
At the beginning of the
21st century taxpayers are giving away $65 billion every year in
subsidies to big oil and
more than $35 billion a year in subsidies to
resource extraction
industries many of whom are destroying public lands and waterways with
unsustainable practices.
Subsidies helped create the
billionaires who financed the right-wing revolution on Capitol
Hill that put George Walker Bush
in the White House.
The free market has
been all but eliminated in the agricultural and energy sectors which is
dominated by cartels and
distorted by subsidies to
polluters.
Agricultural markets are
controlled by multinational
monopolies with no loyalty to
America, the American
people, the
environment or American
law.
"Wise
Use groups and others, out of
duplicity or ignorance,
posture as defenders of the
free market. But in fact, they often argue for
special privileges and
protections that cost the
environment, consumers and
taxpayers dearly." -

Television has invaded every aspect of our
culture.
As nature is infinitely varied the lack of proper stimulation
due to television watching, which is
quite sterile, damages the brains
of children.
Children have limited cognitive
abilities to process television
violence.
Emotional
desensitization due to excessive violence in television creates a
contortionist' twisted
brain along with a distorted sense of
reality.
"Research has shown that
"mindless" television or video
games idle and impoverish the development of the pre-frontal cortex, or
that portion of the brain that is
responsible for
planning, organizing and sequencing behavior for
self-control,
moral judgement and
attention." - Jane M. Healy, PhD American Academy of
Pediatrics May 1998
"Modern
corporations have targeted children of all ages with the most
ambitious social stimulus
response campaign in American history.
The child' consciousness
has been put up for sale."- Jamie Court 05/03
For this exposition we
will use the term right brain as the
source of emotion.
The brain reacts to stimulus in
the surrounding environment.
The brain,
the master controllor of
health, informs
competency.
The repository
of self filters environment
factors into aspects of
cognition.
The brain
directs bodily functions through
established biological
pathways.
Rapid
development of the brain occurs in the first two years of a child's life
.
The first five
years are critical for developing language and cognition.
The more any brain is
naturally stimulated the more it is capable of doing.
Young brains are malleable and
experiences, positive or negative, affect how
grouping of mirror neurons
are either strengthened or disregarded.
Television,
the dominant method of
distracting children, deprives children of
the natural experiences that
develop healthy neural
pathways.
Television watching not only
limits play outside in
nature but also physically
stunts neural networks leaving
an octupus of cognitive
impairment.
Heavy television watching
during the
early years when the brain is malleable prolongs the
dominance of the right brain
function, the culprit
diagnosed as ADD or ADHD, by
inhibiting left brain
verbal-logical cognitive functions.
Neural network growth in young
children is inhibited simply by watching an average of two to four hours of
television per day prolonging childhood.
The more television children
watch, the greater the negative
influence.
Children's behavior due to
television watching is further accentuated when one considers that
children have difficulty
separating reality from fantasy.
The
inability to separate reality
from fantasy creates an avenue for the
mirror neuron
system to pick up characteristics
the child identifies
with.
Children who
admire aggressiveness
in their heroes and heroines will see
little reason for devoting
effort to learn other ways of problem solving.
Children mimic television characters
as readily as they mimic real people.
Dope sales: after seeing the
Chsterfield ad i snaped my fingers for a few months
Morality plays no part when a
child imitates a behavior.
Children,
mimicking the characters
they see on television, can not distinguish between
pro-social and anti-social behaviors of role
models.
Frequent exposure to
television violence makes children think violence is normal as
many children's programs
reflect violence as humorous.
This is why children laugh when they see
someone being injured.
Aggressive skills are acquired
earlier than social skills.
Children who view large quantities
of television violence tend to see the world as
a frightening place and grow
leery of neighbors and strangers.
Children that are taught that
violence is an acceptable solution to problems will tend to work out their
problems in the same way.
Average American children
witness, during formative elementary
school years, about 8,000
murders and 100,000
other acts of television violence.
Children lack the cognitive
attributes to put violent
images into context as they can not articulate
a rationale for the violence they
witness.
Consequently,
they often imitate violent
behaviors witnessed on television.

As people view television
violence noradrenaline
increases in the
brain.
The
alarm network of the brain is located at the base of the brain
and sends noradrenaline to other
brain centers that control
emotions.
In reaction
to viewing violence, the brain adapts by
rewiring trillions of cellular
connections establishing pathways of aggressive
emotion.
Neurological processing
of television violence is not
much different from processing real
violence thanks to the
mirror neuron
system.
The mammal
brain is hard wired to attenuate
all the senses and fully fix the
eyes on any sudden or
abrupt movements in the environment.
The biological orienting
response is a key cognitive
element of survival.
Rapidly changing television
images reduces rational thought
keeping instincts and
emotions in a constant state of alertness for
fight or
flight!
The neural pathways that
control response to stress are particularly
powerful in shaping how
we learn and respond to
environmental
conditions.
When neural
pathways are shaped by violent
aggressive emotions the sustained stress
carves them into the
brain like a
sculpter carves stone.
When a child's brain is under
prolonged stress,
the brain sends a signal to
the body to produce greater amounts of a stress hormone cortisol.
The constant release
of cortisol means the child is constantly on high alert.
Television watching contributes to
insomnia,
depression, and
hyperactivity.
"Children
are the most ardent traditionalists.
They like things stable and
categorized.
Television, like it or not, teaches them a lot of these
rules." - Jane Espenson*, television writer for
'Ellen' starring Ellen
DeGeneres playing an 'average'
homosexual, from an Opinion article in LA Times March 20,
2005
"Kiddie marketing often strives for
the nag factor, an actual
measurement by the advertising industry of the extent to which
an ad drives a child to
pester parents about a purchase." - Jamie Court
Undermining the role of parents
is a strategy marketers
have exploited to brand
children through the development of
"kids only"
products.
"The average American child sees
40,000 advertisements a year on
television." - Dr. Susan Linn, Harvard Medical
School
"We live with a
cultural backdrop
where children increasingly
and at ever younger ages are being sexualized,
eroticized and
exposed to torrents of inappropriate messages about sexuality." - Kathleen
Kelleher
"Our findings suggest that television plays a
significant role in the high rates of teenage
pregnancy in the US." - Anita Chandra, RAND Phd
"Exposure to sexual content on
television predicted teen
pregnancy.
Teens
exposed to high levels of television sexual content were twice as likely to
experience a pregnancy in the subsequent 3 years,
compared with those with lower levels of
exposure." - Rand Health website 11/03/08
"You hoped your
little girl's Disney princess
obsession was harmless!
My 3-year-old informed me she wants to be
"a pwincess" when grown up.
"You are a commoner," my 3-year-old
shrieked, and adjusting her tiara ran off to watch Disney Princess Enchanted Tales." - Rosa Brooks
03/08
"There is an association between the number of hours that the
television is on at home and early childhood aggression." - Catherine
Taylor
"Little girls who want to
be princesses and wear cute little clothes are assuming the classic
stereotyping that little girls should be handmaidens of boys who all too
frequently remain boys."-
Ralph Mitchell 04/08
Children are being taught that
everything is for sale;
desired
"things" are more value than intangibles like relationships;
providers of the desired "things" love you and
want you to be happy;
and ……… desired "things" will make you
happy.
The American Academy of Pediatrics:
Children under eight years accept all
advertisements as the truth.
The 'nag factor' marketing
strategy depends on manipulation of children.
20 to 40% of all purchases adults make are due to
nagging children.
To
minimize the role of gatekeepers,
corporations undermine
authority.
"Corporations
portray parents, as
ignorant,
out of date and
out of touch with the children's reality,
and they frequently ridicule parental concerns for
health and safety." - Linda
Coco
1992 to 1997
Amount of money spent on marketing to children doubles, from $6.2 billion to
$12.7 billion.
At this time:
-
American children influence
purchases totaling over $600 billion a year .
-
American children
spend forty hours a week
consuming televised media.
-
65% of
American children eight to eighteen have a television in their bedroom as
do 32% of children two to
seven and 26% of
children under two.
-
American babies are requesting
brands as soon as they speak.
- General Accounting Office
calls marketing in schools a growth industry.
- More American children
recognize Budweiser Frogs than Smokey the Bear.
- 85% of
American parents want children programs advertisement free.
-
Commercial marketing
tactics of fast food have breed
epidemic levels of childhood obesity,
diabetes and
kidney
stones.
"The aggressive
marketing of fast food to children influences their dietary choices and it
puts them at greater risk of becoming obese or overweight.
General
practitioners are seeing more children than ever before with
diabetes, and that's
a disease associated with poor
diet and lack of
exercise.
Children
can be extremely vulnerable to fast food ads."- Verity

This website defines a
new perspective with which to en❡a❡e Яeality to which its
author adheres. The author feels that the faλsification of reaλity
outside personal experience has forged a populace unable to

and that this has been done purposefully by an internati☣nal
c☣rp☣rate cartel through their agents who wish to foist a corrupt
Ѵersion of Яeality on the human race.
Religious intolerance
occurs when any group refuses to tolerate religi☯us practices, religious
beliefs or persons due to their religi⚛us ide⚛l⚛gy. This web
site marks the founding of a system of philºsºphy nªmed the
Mŷsterŷ of the Lumière Infinie - a ra☨ional
gnos☨ic mys☨ery re☦igion based on reaso🐍 which
requires no leap of faith, accepts no tithes, has no supreme leader, no church
buildings and in which each and every individual is encouraged to develop a
pers∞nal relati∞n with Æ∞n through the pursuit of the
knowλedge of reaλity in the cu☮ing the spi☮itual
co☮☮uption that has enveloped the human spirit. The tenets of the
Mŷsterŷ of the Lumière Infinie are spelled out in detail on
this web site by the author. Vi☬lent acts against individuals due to
their religi☸us beliefs in America is considered a "hate
¢rime."
This web site in no way condones violence. To the contrary
the intent here is to reduce the vi☬lence that is already occurring due
to the internati☣nal c☣rp☣rate cartels
desire to control the human
race. The internati☣nal
c☣rp☣rate cartel already controls the w☸rld
ec☸n☸mic system, c✡rp✡rate media worldwide, the
global indus✈rial mili✈ary en✈er✈ainmen✈ complex
and is responsible for the coλλapse of moraλs, the eg●
w●rship and the destruction of
gl☭bal ec☭systems. Civilization is based on coöperation.
Coöperation with bi☣hazards at
the point of a
gun.
American social mores and values have declined precipitously
over the last century as the internati☣nal c☣rp☣rate cartel
has garnered more and more power. This power rests in the ability to deceive
the p☠pulace in general through c✡rp✡rate media by
press☟ng em☠ti☠nal butt☠ns which have been
πreπrogrammed into the πoπulation through prior mass media
psychological operations. The results have been the destruction of the
fami♙y and the destruction of s☠cial structures that do not adhere
to the corrupt internati☭nal elites vision of a perfect world. Through
distra¢tion and ¢oer¢ion the dir⇼ction of th✡ught
of the bulk of the p☠pulati☠n has been direc⇶ed ⇶oward
s↺luti↻ns proposed by the corrupt internati☭nal elite that
