Atleast anytime soon. here's a list of some doomed prophecies... 2800 BC According to Isaac Asimov's Book of Facts (1979), an Assyrian clay tablet dating to approximately 2800 BC was unearthed bearing the words "Our earth is degenerate in these latter days. There are signs that the world is speedily coming to an end. Bribery and corruption are common." This is one of the earliest examples of the perception of moral decay in society being interpreted as a sign of the imminent end. 634 BC Apocalyptic thinking gripped many ancient cultures, including the Romans. Early in Rome's history, many Romans feared that the city would be destroyed in the 120th year of its founding. There was a myth that 12 eagles had revealed to Romulus a mystical number representing the lifetime of Rome, and some early Romans hypothesized that each eagle represented 10 years. The Roman calendar was counted from the founding of Rome, 1 AUC (ab urbe condita) being 753 BC. Thus 120 AUC is 634 BC. (Thompson p.19)389 BCSome Romans figured that the mystical number revealed to Romulus represented the number of days in a year (the Great Year concept), so they expected Rome to be destroyed around 365 AUC (389 BC). (Thompson p.19) 1st Century Jesus said, "Verily I say unto you, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom." (Matthew 16:28) This implies that the Second Coming would return within the lifetime of his contemporaries, and indeed the Apostles expected Jesus to return before the passing of their generation.ca. 70 The Essenes, a sect of Jewish ascetics with apocalyptic beliefs, may have seen the Jewish revolt against the Romans in 66-70 as the final end-time battle. (Source: PBS Frontline special Apocalypse!) 2nd Century The Montanists believed that Christ would come again within their lifetimes and establish a new Jerusalem at Pepuza, in the land of Phrygia. Montanism was perhaps the first bona fide Christian doomsday cult. It was founded ca. 156 AD by the tongues-speaking prophet Montanus and two followers, Priscilla and Maximilla. Despite the failure of Jesus to return, the cult lasted for several centuries. Tertullian, who once said "I believe it just because it is unbelievable" (a true skeptic if ever there was one!), was perhaps the most renowned Montanist. (Gould p.43-44) 247 Rome celebrated its thousandth anniversary this year. At the same time, the Roman government dramatically increased its persecution of Christians, so much so that many Christians believed that the End had arrived. (Source: PBS Frontline special Apocalypse!) 365 Hilary of Poitiers predicted the world would end in 365. (Source: Ontario Consultants on Religious Tolerance) 380 The Donatists, a North African Christian sect headed by Tyconius, looked forward to the world ending in 380. (Source: American Atheists) Late 4th Century St. Martin of Tours (ca. 316-397) wrote, "There is no doubt that the Antichrist has already been born. Firmly established already in his early years, he will, after reaching maturity, achieve supreme power." (Abanes p.119) 500 Roman theologian Sextus Julius Africanus (ca. 160-240) claimed that the End would occur 6000 years after the Creation. He assumed that there were 5531 years between the Creation and the Resurrection, and thus expected the Second Coming to take place no later than 500 AD. (Kyle p.37, McIver #21) Hippolytus (died ca. 236), believing that Christ would return 6000 years after the Creation, anticipated the Parousia in 500 AD. (Abanes p.283) The theologian Irenaeus, influenced by Hippolytus's writings, also saw 500 as the year of the Second Coming. (Abanes p.283, McIver #15) Apr 6, 793 Elipandus, bishop of Toledo, described a brief bout of end-time panic that happened on Easter Eve, 793. According to Elipandus, the Spanish monk Beatus of Liébana prophesied the end of the world that day in the presence a crowd of people. The people, thinking that the world would end that night, became frightened, panicked, and fasted through the night until dawn. Seeing that the world had not ended and feeling hungry, Hordonius, one of the fasters, quipped, "Let's eat and drink, so that if we die at least we'll be fed." (Abanes p. 168-169, Weber p.50) 800 Sextus Julius Africanus revised the date of Doomsday to 800 AD. (Kyle p.37) Beatus of Liébana wrote in his Commentary on the Apocalypse, which he finished in 786, that there were only 14 years left until the end of the world. Thus, the world would end by 800 at the latest. (Abanes p.168) 806 Bishop Gregory of Tours calculated the End occurring between 799 and 806. (Weber p.48) 848 The prophetess Thiota declared that the world would end this year. (Abanes p.337) Mar 25, 970 Lotharingian computists foresaw the End on Friday, March 25, 970, when the Annunciation and Good Friday fell on the same day. They believed that it was on this day that Adam was created, Isaac was sacrificed, the Red Sea was parted, Jesus was conceived, and Jesus was crucified. Therefore, it naturally followed that the End must occur on this day! (Source: Center for Millennial Studies) 992 Bernard of Thuringia calculated that the end would come in 992. (Randi p.236) 995The Feast of the Annunciation and Good Friday also coincided in 992, prompting some mystics to conclude that the world would end within 3 years of that date. (Weber p.50-51) 1000 There are many stories of apocalyptic paranoia around the year 1000. For example, legend has it that a "panic terror" gripped Europe in the years and months before this date. However, scholars disagree on which stories are genuine, whether millennial expectations at this time were any greater than usual, or whether ordinary people were even aware of what year it was. An excellent article on Y1K apocalyptic expectations can be found at the Center for Millennial Studies. (Gould, Schwartz, Randi) 1033 After Jesus failed to return in 1000, some mystics pushed the date of the End to the thousandth anniversary of the Crucifixion. The writings of the Burgundian monk Radulfus Glaber described a rash of millennial paranoia during the period from 1000-1033. (Kyle p.39, Abanes p.337, McIver #50) 1184 Various Christian prophets foresaw the Antichrist coming in 1184. (Abanes p.338)Sep 23, 1186 John of Toledo, after calculating that a planetary alignment would occur in Libra on September 23, 1186 (Julian calendar), circulated a letter (known as the "Letter of Toledo") warning that the world was to going to be destroyed on this date, and that only a few people would survive. (Randi p.236) 1260 Italian mystic Joachim of Fiore (1135-1202) determined that the Millennium would begin between 1200 and 1260. (Kyle p.48) 1284 Pope Innocent III expected the Second Coming to take place in 1284, 666 years after the rise of Islam. (Schwartz p.181) 1290 Followers of Joachim of Fiore (the Joachites) rescheduled the End to 1290 when his 1260 prophecy failed. (McIver #58) 1306 In 1147 Gerard of Poehlde, believing that Christ's Millennium began when the emperor Constantine came to power, figured that Satan would become unbound at the end of the thousand-year period and destroy the Church. Since Constantine rose to power in 306, the end of the Millennium would be in 1306. (Source: Christian author Richard J. Foster) 1335 Another Joachite doomsday date. (McIver #58) 1367 Czech archdeacon Militz of Kromeriz claimed the Antichrist was alive and well and would manifest himself between 1363 and 1367. The End would come between 1365 and 1367. (McIver #67) 1370 The Millennium would begin in 1368 or 1370, as foreseen by Jean de Roquetaillade, a French ascetic. The Antichrist was to come in 1366. (Weber p.55) 1378 Arnold of Vilanova, a Joachite, wrote in his work De Tempore Adventu Antichristi that the Antichrist was to come in 1378. (McIver #62) Feb 14, 1420 Czech Doomsday prophet Martinek Hausha (Martin Huska) of the radical Taborite movement warned that the world would end in February 1420, February 14 at the latest. The Taborites were an offshoot of the Hussite movement of Bohemia. (McIver #71, Shaw p.43) 1496 The beginning of the Millennium, according to some 15th Century mystics. (Mann p. ix)ca. 1504 Italian artist Sandro Botticelli wrote a caption in Greek on his painting The Mystical Nativity: "I Sandro painted this picture at the end of the year 1500 in the troubles of Italy in the half time after the time according to the eleventh chapter of St. John in the second woe of the Apocalypse in the loosing of the devil for three and a half years. Then he will be chained in the 12th chapter and we shall see him trodden down as in this picture." Apparently, he thought he was living during the Tribulation, and that the Millennium would begin in three and a half years or so, which is understandable given the fact that he is known to have been a follower of Girolamo Savonarola. (Weber p.60) Feb 1, 1524 The End would occur by a flood starting in London on February 1 (Julian), according to calculations some London astrologers made the previous June. Around 20,000 people abandoned their homes, and a clergyman stockpiled food and water in a fortress he built. (Sound familiar? It's just like the doomsday cultists and Y2K nuts of today!) As it happened, it didn't even rain in London on that date. (Randi p.236-237) Feb 20, 1524 A planetary alignment in Pisces was seen as a sign of the Millennium by astrologer Johannes Stoeffler. The world was to be destroyed by a flood on this date (Julian), Pisces being a water sign. (Randi p.236-237) 1525 The beginning of the Millennium, according to Anabaptist Thomas Müntzer. Thinking that he was living at the "end of all ages," he led an unsuccessful peasants' revolt and was subsequently tortured and executed. (Gould p.48) 1528 Stoeffler recalculated Doomsday to 1528 after his 1524 prediction failed (Randi p.238 )May 27, 1528 Reformer Hans Hut predicted the end would occur on Pentecost (May 27, Julian calendar). (Weber p.67, Shaw p.44) 1532 Frederick Nausea (what a name!), a Viennese bishop, was certain that the world would end in 1532 after hearing reports of bizarre occurrences, including bloody crosses appearing in the sky alongside a comet. (Randi p. 238) 1533 Anabaptist prophet Melchior Hoffman's prediction for the year of Christ's Second Coming, to take place in Strasbourg. He claimed that 144,000 people would be saved, while the rest of the world would be consumed by fire. (Kyle p.59) Oct 19, 1533 Mathematician Michael Stifel calculated that the Day of Judgement would begin at 8:00am on this day. (McIver #88) Apr 5, 1534 Jan Matthys predicted that the Apocalypse would take place on Easter Day (April 5, Julian calendar) and only the city of Münster would be spared. (Shaw p.45, Abanes p.338) 1537 French astrologer Pierre Turrel announced four different possible dates for the end of the world, using four different calculation methods. The dates were 1537, 1544, 1801 and 1814. (Randi p. 239) 1544 Pierre Turrel's doomsday calculation #2. (Randi p. 239) ca. 1555Around the year 1400, the French theologian Pierre d'Ailly wrote that 6845 years of human history had already passed, and the end of the world would be in the 7000th year. His works would later influence the apocalyptic thinking of Christopher Columbus. (McIver #72) Jul 22, 1556 In 1556, a rumor was circulating that the world would end on Magdalene's Day, as recorded by Swiss medical student Felix Platter. (Weber p.68, p.249) Apr 28, 1583 The Second Coming of Christ would take place at noon, according to astrologer Richard Harvey. This was the date of a conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn, and numerous astrologers in London predicted the world would end then. (Skinner p.27, Weber p.93) 1584 Cyprian Leowitz, an astrologer, predicted the end would occur in 1584. (Randi p.239, McIver #105) 1588 The end of the world according to the sage Johann Müller (aka Regiomontanus). (Randi p. 239) 1600 Martin Luther believed that the End would occur no later than 1600. (Weber p.66) 1603 Dominican monk Tomasso Campanella wrote that the sun would collide with the Earth in 1603. (Weber p.83) 1623 Eustachius Poyssel used numerology to pinpoint 1623 as the year of the end of the world. (McIver #125) Feb 1, 1624 The same astrologers who predicted the deluge of February 1, 1524 recalculated the date to February 1, 1624 after their first prophecy failed. (Randi p.236-237) 1648 Using the kabbalah, Sabbatai Zevi, a rabbi from Smyrna, Turkey, figured that the Messiah would come in 1648, accompanied by miracles. The Messiah, of course, would be Zevi himself! (Randi p.239, Festinger) 1654 In 1578, physician Helisaeus Roeslin of Alsace, basing his prediction on a nova that occurred in 1572, foresaw the world ending in 1654 in a blaze of fire. (Randi p.240) 1656 Believed to be a possible date for the end of the world, 1656 is the number of years between the Creation and the Flood. (Skinner p.27) 1657 Final apocalyptic battle and the destruction of the Antichrist were to take place between 1655 and 1657, as per the Fifth Monarchy Men, a radical group of English millenarians who attempted to take over Parliament to impose their extremist theocratic agenda on the country. Not unlike the Christian Coalition of modern-day America! (Kyle p.67) 1658 In his The Book of Prophecies, Christopher Columbus claimed that the world was created in 5343BC, and would last 7000 years. Assuming no year zero, that means the end would come in 1658. Columbus was influenced by Pierre d'Ailly. (McIver #77) 1660 Joseph Mede, whose writings influenced James Ussher and Isaac Newton, claimed that the Antichrist appeared way back in 456, and the end would come in 1660. (McIver #147)1666 As this date is 1000 (millennium) + 666 (number of the Beast) and followed a period of war and strife in England, many Londoners feared that 1666 would be the end of the world. The Great Fire of London in 1666 did not help to alleviate these fears. (Schwartz p.87, Kyle p.67-68) Sabbatai Zevi recalculated the coming of the Messiah to 1666. Despite his failed prophecies, he had accumulated a great many followers. He was later arrested for stirring up trouble, and given the choice of converting to Islam or execution. Pragmatic man that he was, he wisely elected for the former. (Festinger) 1673 Deacon William Aspinwall, a leader of the Fifth Monarchy movement, claimed the Millennium would begin by this year. (Abanes p.209, McIver #174). 1688 John Napier's doomsday calculation #1, based on the Book of Revelation. Napier was the mathematician who discovered logarithms. (Weber p.92) 1689 Pierre Jurieu, a Camisard prophet, predicted that Judgement Day would occur in 1689. The Camisards were Huguenots of the Languedoc region of southern France. (Kyle p.70) 1694 Anglican rector John Mason calculated this date as the beginning of the Millennium. (Kyle p.72) The beginning of the Millennium, as predicted by German theologian Johann Alsted. (Kyle p.66) Fall 1694 Drawing from theology and astrology, German prophet Johann Jacob Zimmerman determined that the world would end in the fall of 1694. Zimmerman gathered a group of pilgrims and made plans to go to America to welcome Jesus back to Earth. However, he died in February of that year, on the very day of departure. Johannes Kelpius took over leadership of the cult, which was known as Woman in the Wilderness, and they completed their journey to the New World. Fall came and went and, needless to say, the cultists were profoundly disappointed at having traveled all the way across the Atlantic just to be stood up by Jesus. (Cohen p.19-20)1697 <LI style="LIST-STYLE-TYPE: none"> The beginning of the Millennium, according to Anglican rector Thomas Beverly. (Kyle p.72, McIver #224) The notorious witch hunter Cotton Mather was the Ken Starr of Puritan New England. When he wasn't out hunting witches, he was busy predicting the end of the world, 1697 being his first doomsdate. After the prediction failed, he revised the date of the End two more times. (Abanes p.338) 1700 The end of the world, according to some Puritans. (Kyle p.79) John Napier's doomsday calculation #2, based on the Book of Daniel. (Weber p.92) The date of the Second Coming, according to Henry Archer, a Fifth Monarchy Man. Archer made this prediction in his 1642 book The Personall Reign of Christ Upon Earth. (McIver #158)
There's more, alot more, at http://www.abhota.info/end1.htm, the list i gave was only up to the 18th century.
How do you know when the world will end and when it won't? I personally don't think the world will end, but it could easily end as we know it.
Looking for an adventure? Bring some Vaseline ! Remember that about 1% of our population represents 90% of this nations wealth, so basically 99% of us are either part of their work force, and the rest are just people who they feel like they have to medicate and feed everyday. Just like 99% of the Muslims good and decent people, 99% of America falls into one category too. Much of the world hates who we are because of what 1% is doing wrong , much of this nation hates the nation of Islam because of what 1% is doing wrong. Our future has already been genetically altered by the wrong doings of less than 200 money hungry people. This is one way to explain how 'it' happened. At the white house: In his State of the Union address, President Bush laid out ambitious goals for the future, behind which all Americans can unite, and urged the Nation to move forward with the work that still needs to be done. Today, President Bush announced his Fiscal Year 2005 budget, a plan to help make America a more secure, more prosperous, and more hopeful country. The President has put forth an ambitious agenda to ensure that America's economy remains the most prosperous in the world. President Bush believes we have an obligation to do what Americans have always done - build a better tomorrow for our children and grandchildren. Is the president obligated to do anything or is there a list to explain his requirements or any expectations from the nation? I would really like to know this. http://www.whitehouse.gov/infocus/budget/index.html http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2005/03/20050304-2.html "Steve Johnson is a talented scientist and skilled manager with a lifelong commitment to environmental stewardship. Steve will also bring valuable experience that will help us improve our homeland security. As an expert on pesticides, he helped design new regulations to improve food safety. He knows the EPA from the ground up, and has a passion for its mission -- to protect the health of our citizens, and to guarantee the quality of our air, water, and land for generations to come." He looks good on paper, and his abilitiy to make 'good faith' decisions for our environment looks perfect. Mr. Johnson is the 'expert' that designed our food safety regulations. So he definitely KNOWS what's up. http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/budget/fy2004/epa.html The Environmental Protection Agency's Major Challenges: Improving its capability for unbiased, sound science in its decision-making; and Tracking and demonstrating programs’ effectiveness in achieving public health and ecosystem protection goals. (because they have very little scientific data, and they haven't made any goals to create an effective protection program) "EPA carries out a significant portion of its mission through the Operating Program, which includes its core responsibilities for regulatory development, enforcement, research, and program grants to states." "The program guarantees results, eliminating costly regulation, litigation, inspection, and enforcement actions. As a result, industry compliance has been nearly 100 percent." check out this Operating Program, it guarantees results by eliminating the cost of performing it's core responsibilities. The EPA plan to success is a joke. If the claim of nearly 100% compliance was spoken or a signed statement, somebody is liable for intentionally providing false information, malfesance in office or criminal neglect. "EPA and OMB found that the programs generally have well-defined purposes and are well-managed. However, tracking performance of environmental programs can be complex, and many of the evaluated programs face difficulties in linking their activities to actual improvements in health or ecosystem quality and in assessing the actual costs to the economy of the programs." The absence of outcome-based performance data, and in some cases, any data, has hindered the agency in evaluating the impacts of its programs on the environment and public health." Their well-managed program can not even LINK their activities to actual improvements or assess the actual cost of their failure. It's also too complex to track their performance... because there is none. No EPA agents are assigned to 'protect and serve' the air and water regulations because they can explain how the billionaire owners of industry and pollution sources show evidence that they are trustworthy and truthfull. Industrial pollution is only documented by the amount of pollution each site 'claims' they have released. Our ecosystem has always been monitored by the number of toxins in tons released, most data is obtained only through the honor system. How's that for protection ?
1999 http://www.lindachae.com/Doctors%20worry.htm Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), a detergent found in about 90% of shampoos. This chemical has been shown to damage proteins in the eyes of young animals. Some doctors think these chemicals may cause eye damage and *blindness in babies and young children. SLS goes through the skin and builds up in the eyes of young animals in clinical studies. It penetrates into the eyes and is also held in the brain, heart and liver. A single drop of SLS stays in the brain and body for five days. And since SLS is absorbed through the skin, it does not have to enter the eye directly. Anywhere it touches the skin, it goes in. Information on these damaging chemicals has been available for several years, but it hasn’t been publicized outside the medical community. Your own doctor probably doesn’t know about this problem yet. Our research indicates that it can take up to 20 years for scientific health information to become general knowledge. from 2000...... IV. FINDINGS: A total of 2.3 billion pounds of toxic air emissions and surface water discharges were reported by industry to the federal Toxics Release Inventory in 1998. Developmental and neurological toxins represent more than 53% of that total--or 1.2 billion pounds. *The overwhelming majority of chemicals in use has never been tested for specific effects on the physical and brain development of children. Louisiana and Texas are the leading states with the highest air and water emissions of developmental and neurological toxins. The chemical manufacturing industry is the single largest industrial source of developmental and neurological toxin emissions (to air and water) in the U.S. *Only three (3) substances account for 97% of all pollution from developmental toxins. The toxins with the highest releases were toluene (a common degreaser and solvent, linked to fetal toxicity), carbon disulfide (used to manufacture synthetic fibers, linked to fetal toxicity), and benzene (widely used in manufacturing and as a component in gasoline, linked to developmental delays). VI. RECOMMENDATIONS *There are no national, state or local policies that effectively encourage chemical makers or users to study chemicals in commerce for their developmental or neurological effects in children. And virtually *no policies exist* to encourage them to find safer substitutes. Finally, there is very little data that would allow public health officials and experts to accurately assess the overall role that developmental and neurological toxins play in the incidence of birth defects and learning and behavioral deficits in U.S. children. 1.2 billion pounds of Developmental and neurological toxins were released in 1998. Their effects have never been tested. No policies exist, and the EPA does nothing to encourage testing. How much data does it take to accurately make an assessment? ======================================== http://www.garynull.com/Documents/erf/statement_on_immune_toxins.htm In 1995 18 scientist draw the this conclusion "Impairment of the immune system can result from alterations in the development [before and shortly after birth or hatching] of the immune system and may be long-lasting. The effects may not be manifested at hatching or birth and may not be expressed until the animal or human reaches adulthood. Life-long capacity for immune response [i.e., healthy functioning of the immune system] is determined early in development, during prenatal and early postnatal development in mammals and prehatching and early posthatching development in egg-laying species. " "The widespread exposure of populations of humans and wildlife to many man-made chemicals has made it difficult, if not impossible, to find control populations that have no exposure level. True control populations for human and wildlife epidemiological studies are thus lacking. *[In other words, we are all now exposed to many chemicals that can change our immune systems, so it is not possible to find a "control group" of people who have truly healthy, unaffected immune systems that can be studied."] "The lack of sensitive tests and the uncertainty about exposure have been impediments in many of these (human) studies. Exposure is well known for some wildlife studies." ***We estimate with confidence that--*** Certain synthetic chemicals, such as those listed released or reintroduced into the environment act upon the developing and mature immune systems in humans and other vertebrates. Our synthetic chemist had already altered the evolution of every life form that will come to exist on this planet,, yet they claim to have had very little knowledge or data to determine any of the persistant long term effects. Yet nothing healthy is alive in the world that is not affected already for us to compare our 'unhealthy' selves to. the EPA makes no changes in policy. ====================== This group is trying to get our food labeled so we could decide if we wanted to consume the 'altered' products. Not a chance. http://www.thecampaign.org/issues.php "And it is the legacy of broken promises by the Food and Drug Administration and the Environmental Protection Agency, both of which have said for the past five years that *they intend to write rules to minimize the chances* that gene-altered food will cause allergies or damage the environment." "Recent statistics are frightening. Infectious diseases were responsible for one-third of the 52 million deaths from all causes in 1995" "'There is an urgent need to tighten existing regulations.' Instead, the EU is relaxing the guidelines on both deliberate release and contained use of GMOs. 'That is an irresponsible move in the light of existing scientific knowledge.'" "Essentially, we've been subjected to a massive experiment on human health. What will the results of this experiment be? Stay tuned." It's starting to look like Mr. Johnson really is quite passionate about his mission, he must have been working out while working his way to the top, it's starting to feel like he was preparing to screw the shit out of U.S. "'We may only be seeing the tip of the iceberg"

Some Headlines "June 2005, over 00 research scientists issue a joint, signed statement concluding that scientific uncertainty should not delay precautionary action on reducing the exposures to and the risks from endocrine disrupters." "In a small prospective study, researchers in Japan report that *bisphenol A levels are higher in women with a history of repeated spontaneous miscarriages. " "Infants in a hospital that has continued use of phthalate-containing plastics in equipment used in neonatal intensive care units have higher phthalate metabolites in their urine than one that switched to other materials." "For the first time, researchers have identified an association between pregnant women’s exposure to phthalates and adverse effects on genital development in their male children." "Two estrogenic contaminants cause adverse effects in prostate development in mice at levels to which millions of Americans are exposed each year." "A flood of new information about *bisphenol A revealing both widespread human exposure and effects at extremely low doses sparks a call for a new risk assessment of the ubiquitous compound. " "Several 'weakly' estrogenic compounds including *bisphenol A and endosulfan are as powerful as estrogen at increasing calcium influx into cells and stimulating prolactin secretion." "Traces of *bisphenol A were detected in 95% of samples examined in a survey of the chemical's presence in Americans" "Exposure to phthalates is linked to three childhood allergic diseases: asthma, rhinitis and eczema." "Infants exposed to herbicides and pesticides are much more likely to develop early persistent asthma" "Testicular cancer linked to environmental exposures early in life" "PBDE levels high in breast milk of Texas women" "Calculations suggest high adverse impacts of DDT use on infant mortality." "Research links herbicides used on wheat to birth defects in the Great Plains." "There would certainly appear to be enough information to justify steps by individuals to act on their own to reduce exposures. The widespread use of BPA, its unlabeled incorporation into many products, and its abundance in wastewater flowing into the nation's water systems, however, means that individual action will not be sufficient to avoid exposure.

"Monsanto Donates $50,000 to Brainwash Kids" Who is Monsanto and how did they become so powerfull ?? Monsanto can alter natural genetic traits and cross breed the seeds we plant to grow a some very lucious crops of synthetic food. Monsanto has the ability to 'synthesize' the chemical structure of our food with any recipie they choose of genetically manipulated organisms they desire. Monsanto also produces many of the pharmacutical compounds that counteract the symptoms and the side effects they naturally anticipate as our bodies try to fight off the synthetic alterations, that Monsanto planted fertilized and is growing to change the inside of our bodies. Monsanto DOES NOT have the ability to cure any of the diseases they provide the source of, and the treatment of the symptoms for. If all of this is true, can anybody explain how a few 'mad' scientist or one technological institution is powerfull enough to move past natures boundaries, then rise above the laws of mankind and any government around the world that tries to stop them ? stay tuned ...
Prior to being the Supreme Court Judge who put GW Bush in office,Clarence Thomas was Monsanto's lawyer. The U.S. Secretary of Agriculture (Anne Veneman) was on the Board of Directors of Monsanto's Calgene Corporation. The Secretary of Defense (Donald Rumsfeld) was on the Board of Directors of Monsanto's Searle pharmaceuticals. The U.S. Secretary of Health, Tommy Thompson, received $50,000 in donations from Monsanto during his winning campaign for Wisconsin's governor. The two congressmen receiving the most donations from Monsanto during the last election were Larry Combest (Chairman of the House Agricultural Committee) and Attorney General John Ashcroft.

" Monsanto official told the New York Times that the corporation should not have to take responsibility for the safety of its food products. "Monsanto should not have to vouchsafe the safety of biotech food," said Phil Angell, Monsanto's director of corporate communications. "Our interest is in selling as much of it as possible. Assuring its safety is the FDA's job." Now that's brazen ! Angell sais F all of U ! what makes you think his company is responsible for their actions... dufus ! FDA http://users.westnet.gr/~cgian/weldon.htm The FDA http://www.smart-publications.com/articles/030808.php Naturally the FDA is overflowing with former employees of the same industries they are supposed to regulate, many of them Monsanto executives and lawyers that go back and forth from their private sectors to their federal positions. It's like a big convention with for them to party and hang out with their old work buddies who are the lobbyist, plus all the money and lobbyhookers they can wrap their fingers around. In trying to understand the proportions of the loophole that the government allows the continued mutation of every organism on this earth to flow through, the size of the loophole started to get bigger and the same loophole is in many, if not all of our environmental policies. They don't have to do anything to stop all of this because they never claimed they were going to. They never intended to prevent this from happening or chose to make any changes when the universal effects were proven. They still haven't made any changes in the regulations that would include any actual enforcement of the amount of pollution. The data is still being received and decisions concerning our ability to breath this air in 100 years from now is totally dependent on the accuracy of the reporting done by the honor system. We will have the honorable claims made by the leaders of our petrochemical/refinery and industrial communities to determine what they are going to make our gas mask out of. If it all stopped right now, we still got a big synthetic screw in U.S. Monsanto purchased the Americans gene pool a long time ago, dirt cheap, and while the war on our habits was blazing the real terrorist were oozing up the White House totem pole. Their intentions are almost obvious. which takes me right back to where I started.... "In his State of the Union address, President Bush laid out ambitious goals for the future, behind which all Americans can unite, and urged the Nation to move forward with the work that still needs to be done." Whoever accepts responsibility for the safety and security of the people in this country, is the same entity in charge of the governmental agencies that are designed to work towards providing safety and security for "the people" of the future. It is a fact that the present acting government we depended on for our environmental protection and to prevent our 'enemies' from destroying our quality of life, had first hand involvement in the planning of and the aggravated molestation to the chemical structure of our bodies, our existence, our evolution. Where is our Homeland Security? I think it can be shown that our government is definitely being operated by terrorist to the people in this country Is President Bush obligated to accept responsibility for hiding in the corner of the Oval Office watching while everything about his 'citizens' continously being raped? Or do you think he likes to get a little bit of that action too? We need a new plan to help make America a more secure, more prosperous, and more hopeful country that begins with armageddon and the eventual evaporation of every living synthetic organism and vertebrae. Or just burn it all. The whole God Damned thing. Hopefully there are enough fossil fuels left underground to turn any evidence that 'we' ever happened back into ashes. Eventually we will mutate into un-jellable radioactive synthesizers... damn that almost sounds good. ugghhshit... it think i've been shot.
trying to notify all of the agencies who would possibly claim responsibility for preventing this to continue. The ONDCP and DOE have already turned it down and I now I have notified Homeland Security, DEA, and EPA. This statement pretty much reassures me that none of them are going to do a dammed thing to stop this, other than try to stop me. what a dream ! http://www.epa.gov/epahome/emergenc.htm Who plans for and responds to these emergencies? There is a complex system of responsibilities for these types of emergencies because there are many parts to them. In general, responsibilities are spread across the federal, state and local sectors, depending upon the size and type of the emergency and involve the environmental, emergency management, public safety, and public health agencies of the three levels of government. In addition, *industry has a very important role to play in preparing for and responding to such emergencies.* They won't do anything to chop off their own feet. I will send the rest of them here when they respond and tell me that it is out of their jurisdiction, or to contact a different federal agency.... or call the local sheriffs office or police. The Ultimate Insanity.
That list is ridiculous. just because they thought the world was going to end then doesnt mean it wont end now. It may not end next year, or next decade, next century, or millinium, but is inevitable that it will eventually end.
I somehow left out the most informative link, the most inspirational website that provided me with the majority of my passion. http://www.organicconsumers.org/monlink.html http://www.organicconsumers.org/index.htm If you have time, sign their petition for me please !!
What is different between then and now is the FACT that humans can destroy the world whenever we please. Who needs God to destroy the world when you have hydrogen bombs?
The world isnt going to end, because it never began. Now people...thats a different matter. People, i believe, will die. We may very well be the first species to ever wipe out our own kind! hooray for humanity... Love-Maxi.Xx
People can't die either , because they were never born. Either way, it looks like you are right about the potential of this species. Thanks for that cheer! Did you sign the petition?
It is prophesy, and a whole book in the bible is dedicated to it. and God wont destroy the world, Satan will. He will make the 1st move, not God.
Hopefully you are right about the Earth never being destroyed or infested with uncontrollable diseases. The magnetic field is about 500 thousand years overdue to change directions. Scientist have been able to investigate and document that the magnetic field has already switched directions approximately 132 times. The study did not give any predictions as to what takes place to the life on earth during the 'transition' period, only that 'homo erectus' was alive prior to the last revolution of the magnetic field. I am mostly concerned with the amount of synthetic chemicals that have soaked deep into everything living in and on this earth today, and during the directional change in the flow of the earth's magnetic or 'protective shield' will those synthetic chemicals be burned away or frozen deep enough in the core to not effect all forms of life that will take place in the future.. http://www.geocities.com/palaeoanthropology/Herectus.html Other than the shade of their skin and sucking a nipple until they were 8 years old, these two guys could be kissing cousins! so something, if not everything must carry on during that shift in magnetically charged current. It's not like something comes along and wipes the slate clear to provide a 'new and improved' start for the future. This is the latest rindition of the TRUTH I am trying my best to get this punk ass Government to respond to. =================================== Dear U.S. Senator John McCain, According to the definition “frankenfood” and the FDA’s response to regulate or restrict the amount of synthetic chemicals that are added to this Nation‘s food supply, what we are experiencing, and the examples I will bring to your attention can only be defined as GENOCIDE. This message will include information provided by the U.S. Dept of Health and Human Services and cancer prevention websites concerning (rBGH) (IGF-1), Aspartame, Diazinon, and approximately 188 different “reasonably anticipated” carcinogens that are in production today, and flowing through all of our systems. The overwhelming majority of them are forced into our food and MILK against our will. ONE “organization” or “entity” is responsible for the following : providing the toxic chemicals to exterminate 6 million Jews, providing the toxic chemicals that exposed Vietnamese, Australians, Canadians and Americans, their children and grandchildren to Agent Orange, providing the toxic chemicals for the 8,485 victims of the Texas City Disaster, providing the toxic chemicals (plutonium & uranium) for the Little-Boy and the Fat-Man that killed approximately 120,000 people, 95% civilians, providing the toxic chemicals that polluted 3,500 Anniston Alabama residents and their environment, AND intentionally hiding the exposure levels and denying the health effects... for DECADES! The same ONE also occupies senior positions in ALL of the United States Governmental Agencies today. From our senior military official, to our food drug and environmental protection administrative agents. Something is SERIOUSLY wrong here!
Please listen to what OUR Scientist are able to officially express to all of Us. Our continued exposure to unregulated amounts of toxic pollutants and many various other “synthetic chemicals” has already jeopardized the lives of 50% of the men, and 33.33% of the women in this Country, already. They are trying to tell Us, that WE have to STOP this! United States Department of Health and Human Services National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences http://www.niehs.nih.gov/oc/news/estrogen.htm GENOCIDE : “Harmful Chemicals May Reprogram Gene Response to Estrogen” "This study is telling us that an environmental reprogramming of a normal response, combined with an inherited gene defect, work together to promote cancer," “If this model is correct, it will help doctors to determine which individuals are more likely to develop cancers of the uterus, breast and prostate." "We are just beginning to realize that exposures received decades earlier, during critical developmental stages, may be much more important in determining who develops cancer as an adult." ====================================== http://www.niehs.nih.gov/oc/news/canceragents.htm United States Department of Health and Human Services GENOCIDE : "Among U.S. residents, 1 in 2 men and 1 in 3 women will develop cancer at some point in their lifetimes.“ Do you understand that ? 41.5% of US will be treated for some form of Cancer while many more will just die from IT without seeking treatment or having a physician point out the OBVIOUS!! The Report on Carcinogens, Eleventh Edition, referred to as the "RoC," lists cancer-causing agents in two categories -- "known to be human carcinogens" and "reasonably anticipated to be human carcinogens." The report now contains 58 "known" and 188 "reasonably anticipated" listings. At least 80% of that ROC is still flowing into our system while pouring more money into SOMEBODY’S pocket’s right now. The DEA is not concerned about this RoC, I already checked. ================================================ http://www.niehs.nih.gov/oc/news/airpoll.htm United States Department of Health and Human Services GENOCIDE : New Research Shows Air Pollution Can Reduce Children's Lung Function Children who live in polluted communities are five times more likely to have clinically low lung function-less than 80 percent of the lung function expected for their age. New data from the Children's Health Study suggests that pollutants from vehicle emissions and fossil fuels hinder lung development and limit breathing capacity for a lifetime. "This is the longest study ever conducted on air pollution and children's health," "It shows that current levels of air pollution have adverse effects on lung development in children between the ages of 10 and 18." "Lung development in teenagers determines they’re breathing capacity and health for the rest of their lives," "The potential long-term effects of reduced lung function are alarming. It's second only to smoking as a risk factor for mortality. As lung function decreases, the risk of respiratory disease and heart attacks increases." Is this a crime against nature, or humans? Monsanto has been LINKED to CANCER. There is an obvious connection between MONSANTO and the U.S. Government. This entire NATION has a synthetic chemical (rBGH) ADDED to our MILK and all of our dairy products. This synthetic chemical, sold by MONSANTO, has been OUTLAWED by every other industrialized country in the WORLD. Whose fault is IT? "When people are trying to kill you and when they attack because they hate freedom, other disputes from Frankenfood to bananas and even important issues like the environment suddenly look a bit different." - Condoleezza Rice, George Bush's national security adviser People eating FRANKENFOOD Is GENOCIDE The White House http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/budget/fy2004/epa.html "EPA carries out a significant portion of its mission through the Operating Program, which includes its core responsibilities for regulatory development, enforcement, research, and program grants to states." "The program guarantees results, by eliminating costly regulation, litigation, inspection, and enforcement actions. As a result, industry compliance has been nearly 100 percent." (*The EPA’s "Operating Program" is a sick joke. Their core responsibilities are eliminated, and the industry is allowed to report the poison they are dumping into our system based on their honor. And WE know this! *) It took four years for the EPA to 'phase-out' the reintroduction of Diazinon to the products on consumer shelves. Nothing was done to stop it, nothing was done to prevent the millions of tons of Diazinon that were already in the hands of consumers to enter our system, even though... The EPA finally had enough proof to acknowledge its potential health risks to children. It is among a class of chemicals known to attack the nervous system and are believed to pose special threats to children, even at low doses. (*Allowing this chemical re-introduction into household products for 4 more years, is TERRORIST activity! *) ============================================= http://www.preventcancer.com/avoidable/colon_cancer/milk_colon.htm GENOCIDE : Study Warns of Colon and Breast Cancer Risks from rBGH Milk January 23, *1996*, Washington, DC - The Cancer Prevention The study summarizes evidence that rBGH increases levels of insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) in milk. IGF-1 is a powerful stimulator and regulator of cell-growth and division in humans and cows. The study concludes that increased IGF-1 levels are risk factors for breast and colon cancer. “rBGH poses an even greater risk to human health than ever considered," warned Epstein M.D., Professor University of Illinois School of Public Health and Chairman of the Cancer Prevention Coalition, author of the new report. "The FDA and Monsanto have a lot to answer for. Given the cancer risks, and other health concerns, why is rBGH milk still on the market?" " Monsanto 's claims that rBGH is perfectly safe have been proven dead wrong today. This study further validates the health concerns of millions of consumers about this controversial product," said Michael Colby, Executive Director of Food and Water. "Only Monsanto is benefiting from this drug. "The entire nation is currently being subjected to a large-scale adulteration of an age-old dietary staple by a poorly characterized and unlabeled biotechnology product, which is very different than natural milk." (*LOOK at these Dates ! Are WE late enough? *) A highly condensed summary of an IGF- 1 Monsanto short term test in mature rats was released by FDA (Juskevich & Guyer, 1990). The agency alleges that this study confirms IGF- 1's "lack of oral activity." At the outset it should be noted that the Monsanto test was contracted out to Hazelton Laboratories, which has a two-decade history of misrepresentation of scientific data. (Epstein, 1978). GENOCIDE : The FDA has failed to investigate the effects of long-term feeding of IGF- 1 and rBGH-milk on growth, or on more sensitive sub-cellular effects, in infant rats or infants of any other species. Who should we discuss this with ? In a 1989 letter the FDA was warned that the effects of IGF-1 "could include premature growth stimulation in infants, [breast enlargement] in young children and breast cancer in adult females." "Further studies will be required to determine whether the ingestion of higher than normal concentrations of bovine insulin-like growth factor is safe for children, adolescents and adults." (AMA, 1991 ! ). Instead of further study, the FDA allowed for uncontrolled, unlabeled sales of treated milk to unwitting consumers. Given the potential health impacts of consumption of MILK and other dairy products derived from rBGH treated cows, all such products at a minimum be labeled so that consumers are aware of what they are purchasing and consuming. More prudently the FDA approval of rBGH should be withdrawn until the agency performs adequate long term testing on the impacts of increased levels of IGF- 1 in milk and other dairy products derived from rBGH treated cows. These practices are so frequent as to preclude dismissal as exceptional aberrations and, in many instances, arguably rise to the level of criminality.

Under Alabama law, the rare claim of outrage typically requires conduct "so outrageous in character and extreme in degree as to go beyond all possible bounds of decency so as to be regarded as atrocious and utterly intolerable in civilized society." Will you investigate the Connection the U.S. Government has with MONSANTO ? “So outrageous in character and extreme in degree” =============================================== http://www.hgof.ns.ca/index2.php?function=viewgarden&item=14177 Monsanto found guilty of International Bribery Monsanto, the leading global producer of genetically engineered seeds and crops, has been found guilty of bribing government officials in Indonesia. The Justice Department has fined Monsanto $1.5 million for bribing the Indonesian Ministry of Environment to allow the company to ignore required environmental impact studies before proceeding to plant genetically modified crops. The only people who would pay to RAPE someone else’s land, are the people who have been allowed to RAPE their own land for free! Meanwhile, in the U.S., bribery seems hardly necessary for the Gene Giant, given that the Bush administration and regulatory agencies are stacked with former Monsanto employees and pro-biotech bureaucrats. Monsanto strengthened its grip on U.S. policymaking last week when one of its former lobbyists, Martha Scott, was appointed as Staff Director of the Senate Agriculture Committee.
