HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!

There is no greater entertainment than a movie of television program with high drama.  I do not know if my readers of this blog are viewing White House briefings conducted by Sean Spicer, with the exception of viewing some excerpts on your news channels.  I have taken every opportunity to view these briefings in their entirety.  If there is one word that can describe Sean Spicer that word is “fearless”.  The confrontations between Spicer and the press corps have been both informative and entertaining.

Sean Spicer is unswerving in the rightful defense of the Trump Administration.  The press, in general, has proven to be unfair in much of its coverage of very important issues, for which Spicer has pulled no punches when answering questions from some of those in that very crowded room.  Some of us are aware of the unfair coverage of the Trump Administration, since the inauguration.  Spicer had no problem pointing out specific incidences of press omissions, but also quick to point out anything from a negative context.  There is no doubt in my mind that Spicer has developed into a hero of this administration and takes many metaphoric bullets for President Trump and defending administration policies with impenetrable armor.

It is a well-known phrase; “If it is too hot in the kitchen, it is time to leave.”  With Sean Spicer, the warmer it is the better he performs!  We cannot discount President Trump’s picks for all the plethora of positions for our government, for which Sean Spicer has proven to be well-qualified as a communicator.

Sean Spicer enters the White House Briefing Room and sets the tone with opening statements, which are the current issues of the day and in the hopes of providing much of what the press expects to hear.  However, the press has their own agenda already in place and this is where the confrontations begin to take place.  Most of these briefings are scheduled for about 30 minutes, but yesterday, this one was well into one hour and the press was kept waiting for nearly that long, waiting for their target to appear.

The briefing room is rather small; the press corps is well-packed and no doubt gets uncomfortably warm in there.  This space was designed to seat 50, but there is such a large pool of reporters, some are willing to take a standing position and something new has been added—a Skype connection for some of those who are not strategically located in Washington D.C.  There was some talk about moving the White House Briefing Room across the street and can accommodate 250 seated reporters.  I would not doubt that any Press Secretary might find that sized army of reporters quite daunting and forever extend the briefings to at least one hour, for which at least Spicer might have some objections.  However, Spicer stands tirelessly up against this present army of 50 and does have some time constraints, but it is just another day at the office.

Here is some health care news that you will not hear from almost no media outlet, let alone from nearly any politician.  It has been said that “Health is our greatest wealth,” which is absolutely true, mostly from the standpoint of employment, worker production and the general overall economy.  If we are feeling well and not thinking about some diagnosis that has us worried, we work, play and do many things without the stress of the worry about our health condition.  There are also other systemic stresses that also have an effect upon our bodies and contribute to various forms of upset.  But for now, I will focus on better choices of food for better health care.

There is one vital component that no living being can do without for more than 3 days… water.  We can no longer trust any of our infrastructure systems of water for pure water and this includes about 90 percent of all bottled water.  Global corporations are buying and securing fresh water supplies from all over the world.  Their latest bid for fresh water supplies in Brazil were cut off and I had written at that time (about 2-3 years ago) Brazil may pay for that politically.  I wonder how many of you have analyzed the actual cost of that bottle of water you may have purchased.  Would you believe that bottled water costs more than gasoline? 

In addition, if one carefully reads the label(s) the same will discover that most of these waters come from municipal water supplies; yes, the same water that comes from your tap!  Yes, it may be filtered, but not to the extent of removing much of what is causing some of our health problems.  Yes, there are a number of filters available, but there are a few that are the best.  One that I have is “Clearly Filtered” and boasts that you can take street water, put it through this particular filter and it is better than tap water.  It also filters out fluoride that most other filters do not, so you know that this particular filter is a cut above most.  Yes, the filters themselves are quite pricey, but well worth it for the quality.  They did have a deal for it about one year ago when I purchased it; it included a pitcher and one filter for $10.  One filter lasts me 3 months using 2 gallons per day, for drinking and cooking.  The filters thereafter are $50 each, but I know that my water is clean. 

As far as food is concerned, we need to consume food as close to nature as possible, which means avoiding all the middle isles of our supermarkets.  Did you get that?  If you observe all your supermarkets they have basically the same layout.  All your produce, dairy and meats are on the outer walls and all process foods are in the middle isles.  Therefore the first step in a healthy diet is to avoid the middle isles.  Once that is conquered, the next step is to eat organic.  “Organic is nothing new, it is food the way it used to be,” from a poster inside “Fragrance Basil Juice Café, Norwalk, Connecticut.  I must tell you, once I had gone mostly organic, it took about one year and all my allergies disappeared!  Allergies are a form of inflammation.  Inflammation can come from most anything, especially from so-called “foods” found in the middle isles of the supermarkets.

There is one more food item that needs to be addressed and that is GMO foods.  There are many details to this particular venue and I am leaving that out of this blog.  For one reason, all this information can be found on a number of websites, if one is so inclined to search them out, but I have done much of that research and is available in one of my books, “Growing Your Own Groceries”.  It is available in print and for much less money on a CD; mark.debarbieri@gmail.com for details.

With every passing day there seems to be no end to the controversy over ObamaCare.  It may not be in the interest of the American People, but I believe that we should allow ObamaCare to continue to meet its demise.  The Demoncrats vehemently want to keep ObamaCare just the way it is.  I say, “Okay, you own it and everything that is wrong with it!  You Demoncrats will not suffer any other form of ObamaCare to repeal and replace it.  Therefore, when the SHTF, we Republicans will not lift a finger to help you.  Yes, the American People will indeed suffer for it, but guess who is going to be left holding the bag?  If you believe this is the way to go, just wait for the midterm elections and we Republicans will sit back and enjoy the show.”

I am truly sorry my friends, but the Republicans have gone out of their way in attempting to fix something that is becoming a daunting task, mainly because of the Demoncrats unwillingness to admit a huge mistake was made and it is incumbent upon most politicians to avoid apologies.  The only other problem is the Republican infighting on one or two points of the current proposal.

President Trump; I implore you to throw up your hands in disgust of all the political posturing and allow the STHF and inform the American Public that the Demoncratic Party owns the so-called “Affordable Care Act” and will allow it to take its course.  Unfortunately, it has been said that the above would be irresponsible and detrimental to the American People, but politically, it would be the correct thing to do.  But perhaps by allowing the so-called “Affordable Care Act” to ultimately fail, would teach a great lesson in the frailties of Socialism, for which was never the goal of our Forefathers and that our Constitution has been grossly misinterpreted by those who mistakenly believe that our Constitution is a “living document”, for which it was never designed as such.  

True freedom means freedom from the whims of a strong government, filled with corruption and regulations that hamper our choices.  ObamaCare was designed to take one-sixth of our economy and putting into the hands of bureaucrats, for which none of them are physicians… and the growth of government will never end, until it reaches a point of public apathy and meet its demise just as happened to the Roman Empire, in their last gasp in maintaining unsustainable social programs.  Their army deteriorated and the Barbarians eventually overran the Roman borders.  Do we see the parallel here?

I have nothing specific to focus upon today; just some items to perhaps ponder.  Hillary Clinton’s campaign people had numerous contacts with the Russian Ambassador all during the election campaign.

There is absolutely no evidence whatsoever that any exchange had taken place between Trump’s campaign people and the Russians specifically regarding the upcoming election.  And yet the opposing camp is convinced otherwise.

There is so much conflicting information about ObamaCare that I would rather wait for the political dust to settle.  All three sides are going to duke it out probably into April and beyond, so anything that might happen is going to be speculative.

There is no doubt that President Trump is correct about being tapped about 40 times, but the tapping was not conducted from American soil… it was done through Great Britain.  I believe that Obama is far slicker than “Slick Willy”!

The following is speculative on my part, but could be considered “plausible”.  All the recent trouble in Asia was planned by “The Powers That Be”, in order to divert the Trump Administration, to put off much of what is needed to be done domestically.

Hillary has a new look!  Apparently Hillary is concerned about how the public perceives her as a viable candidate for 2020, because of her age; a new haircut and it seems she had some Botox treatments.

Somebody finally told off CNN that they resemble the news agencies of Russia.  Yeah, right in their face!

Big fight in the White House briefing room… is this the future of our media?

Is no one in the Trump Administration safe from Liberal badgering or bashing, even in places like the “Apple Store”?  I am referring to Sean Spicer being confronted by a Liberal woman, who compares President Trump to Hitler, etc.  Sean Spicer is only the messenger for crying out loud!  I think Spicer did the right thing and allowed the woman to rant and ignored her.  Spicer is a rather astute communicator and knows how to compose himself in different settings.  The “Apple Store” is not a place for a political confrontation.  I am quite sure that “Apple Store” would not mind the free publicity, if a confrontation did take place.  If you must know, yes I did find this story rather amusing.

College kids find weighing scales “frightening”?  Is there no end to the growing neurosis from every sector of our society?  Perhaps some counseling might be order… then again this could also be considered to be a neurosis!

Whenever two or more sovereign nations are engaged in war; there comes a point when both sides are interested in peace.  However, there is one important systemic problem associated with any negotiation—each side wants peace on their own terms.  Such is the case with the disagreements within the Republican Party about the so-called “repeal and replacement” of ObamaCare.  There is no argument that ObamaCare is owned by the Demoncrats and perhaps some Republicans want the “American Health Care Act” as their own.  This attitude is nothing more than an ego trip.  However, at least on the surface, it appears to be the “tax credits” that seems to be a high hurdle to overcome, in the midst of a Republican concenses.

The legislatures have two choices—let the Republicans hammer out a deal we can all live with, or continue infighting until ObamaCare completely collapses.  ObamaCare had already reached critical mass back in October and became a plank for the Republican platform.  The then President Obama was quite aware of the penalty provision that was slated to take place at the beginning of the New Year.  When Hillary lost her bid for the presidency; Obama wasted no time with informing the IRS to remove the penalty phase.  This implementation was done strictly for political reasons that would add more disruption to the incoming administration, for which President Trump would be blamed for the failure of the so-called “Affordable Care Act, for the simple reason it would happen on his watch.

Recently, there has been water cooler talk about what is termed, “The Deep State”.  This term is merely recycled from a number of terms used in times past, such as; “World Revolutionary Movement”; “Shadow Government” and “Military Industrial Complex”.  However, I believe “The Matrix” more aptly applies… why?  First we need to have a degree of separation from the movie series of the same name.  Any “matrix” is a creation with a built-in life sustaining component and that component is far more elusive than a military secret, because military secrets are the most fleeting of all.

The specific type of “matrix” I am referring to is a “created reality”, one which has a life of its own, for which very few have penetrated its shield, such as the likes of William Guy Carr, for his book “Pawns in the Game” and George Orwell’s “1984”.  “The Matrix” does have a history and goes back to 1700, but back at that time it was plan that was just beginning to be put into action.  Let me put it this way; all the major wars between sovereigns since 1700 were all carefully planned and executed, but many historians would have you believe there were other precipitating reasons involved.  For example; WWI was not truly caused by an assassination.  There was only one person who we all know, who printed the true reason for WWI in his newsletter in 1914; Henry Ford.  He blamed the Bankers, for which many of whom happened to be Jewish.  Henry Ford was correct in blaming the Bankers, but to specifically blame the Jews was reckless.  I believe it was this insinuation that began the anti-Semitic movement in the United States, which became a sad reality, when Jews escaping Europe at the birth of WWII, we turned them away.

Now why would the Bankers want to cause a war, you might ask and rightly so.  The answer is not what you might think or believe.  There was a study of thought that WWI was the war to end all wars and to a degree that is rather plausible.  However, “The Powers That Be” were far more astute than we might give them credit.  The true reason for WWI was to remove all the crowned heads of Europe and replace them with either some form of Democracy or Communism… why?  Because my friends, it is far easier to corrupt either of those forms of government than dealing with one very stubborn monarch.

We can clearly see what has happened to our “Democracy”… it has grown so large, it could not help but to be corrupted.  However, it was never meant to be this way, for the simple reason that we were designed as a “Republic”, but all that changed very shortly after our Civil War and then the United States was reformed into a corporation, but that specific venue was not going to go very well with the general public, so they termed our newly formed government and called it a “Democracy” and ever since then it has morphed into the Socialist behemoth we experience today. 

No doubt some of you are scratching your heads and some others might be declaring, “Wait a minute, what about all the freedoms we have?”  Excuse me, but you are not as “free” as you were led to believe and I will cite just one example; licensing for anything is not freedom or liberty, but a benevolent form of slavery.  Can anyone of my readers tell me when licensing began in the United States?  The first license was the marriage license, first instituted in 1868; the same time we changed from a Republic to a Demonocracy. 

Prior to that time, all marriages were simply recorded in the family Bibles.  Now, in order to perform marriages; the one presiding over the ceremony must be licensed.  Understand this; in law words mean everything, so it is with the words spoken by the minister, to wit: “By the powers vested in me by the State of _____, I now pronounce you man and wife.”  It used to be in the presence of God, so now guess what, the “State” is now God and is quite evident when filing for a divorce, or when Child Protective Services comes knocking on your door.  There is much more, but all this is in my book, “What Difference Does It Make?!”

March 10^th 2017 Blog

Dear Readers of this blog, I have been absent from here for nearly one week.  It is difficult enough to keep up with the plethora of daily news and the many outlets from where these news items emanate.  It is important to have a number of different sources, in order to collaborate stories, which news outlets will filter through their producers and editors for content, fact checking, etc.  Some news outlets give a generous amount of autonomy to their more reliable and trusted reporters and contributors, along with their agents. 

In regards to my absence, there were some personal things to deal with that required more attention than normal and lost some sleep.  Perhaps a few of you did not miss me and I believe I made it clear that pandering to my audience is not part of my agenda.  I am here to provide a different perspective than most analysts do not take into account, for the simple reason that they are not big fans of their creator, who provides prophecies to those who are willing to listen and heed, in order to understand the meaning as to why there is so much confusion and chaos running amuck. 

The short meaning is that for every effect is a definite cause, which is true in the medical profession.  Doctors are no better than their education, for which are taught to ignore the causes and treat only the effect, which is why drugs and surgery are replacing true and lasting therapy as well as cures, but Big Pharma does not make any money with cures.  This is specifically why there will never be a Big Pharma cure for cancer, because cancer is the biggest money maker in the medical industry.  

Very few doctors will kill the goose that lays the golden eggs, but those doctors are endowed with a conscious.  The single largest contributor to all medical schools is Big Pharma, so now you know why there is so much bias in the use of drugs.  There is so much more, but if one would take time out for a little more education and stop with much of the social media and sports events, the same will discover the things I have found and put me out of a job, which I find eminently satisfying.

This is one reason why I recently published another recent book titled, “Growing Your Own Groceries”, which is much more than just a book about gardening, where there is more focus on soil fertility that will provide the highest quality yield and far better nutrition than any other conventional, GMO crops and yes even from many organic growers, for the simple reason that all nutrition begins in the soil.  I also provide some peripheral information that contributes to a better lifestyle that is less stressful, an introduction that is more of a reality check and other pertinent information for better overall healthy living.  

Growing produce for any one particular method is the product of one’s education.  If that education is lacking, then so will the quality of the yield of any produce, for which I was guilty of this myself, until 2010, even though I was practicing growing organic since 1988.  Even your finest doctors need to continue their education all during their tenure after graduating and interning, for this is why some doctors exceed their predecessors, write eye opening books and lecture. 

In 2010, I discovered what might be considered a “missing link” in the growing of produce as well as animal husbandry, for which very few have latched onto, only because the material and method of the use of a vital “life-giving” component has been hidden for several decades, but yet well-known in some very small circles.  The method and component is described in detail in this book I have written.  Soil science is a very complex subject, only because of the many components that need to be included in true fertile soil and if that soil is truly fertile, even destructive insects have no desire for the taste of that particular crop.  An attack by destructive insects is a tattle-tail sign that there is something wrong with the soil and needs attention, for which I provide the proof.  The use of insecticides is the same method doctors’ use exclusively and that is to treat the effects and not the cause, which is why our society is inundated with so many drugs, which is a short-cut method of treatment and never a cure!

My apologies for providing very little news of the day, but the following is all I have for now and if I am spared from so much distraction as I have in the past week, I might be able to produce more.  Thank you for your patience and attention.

President Trump’s treatment of the press is not anything really new; it is more a question of style, for which some people understand, but in other camps it makes for far more criticism than is deserved.  You see my friends, President Trump is unlike any other president we had in the past, but perhaps with two outstanding exceptions; President Andrew Jackson, who is prominently displayed in the Oval Office and President Abraham Lincoln.  In a prior blog, I described President Trump with the soul of President Andrew Jackson and the heart of President Abraham Lincoln and of course all three have and had both their supporters and detractors.  

It should not be surprising that President Trump has thrown away nearly all prior playbooks of past presidents and the news focused on President Trump’s bowling and pizza meetings with Republicans who are not convinced of the overall package of the “American Health Care Act”.  The understanding is that there are three phases to this “act” and it is the first “phase” that needs to be latched onto, in order to allow the following two “phases” to be debated in committee(s).  This is a far cry from when Nancy Pelosi stated that, “We need to pass this bill before we read it”, lest it is debated, emphasis mine. 

It is interesting to note that some of those Republicans are up for re-election, for which I am quite sure President Trump reminds them how much more support he received from those districts.  President Trump is not shy, just as Ronald Reagan was not shy in presenting his case to the American People.  In my opinion, these “career” politicians fear the Liberals in their districts verses what is good for the nation.  In addition, career politicians have one basic agenda—the next election.

If the situation were not so ugly, it would be laughable.  I am specifically referring to the brouhaha of the Demoncrats allegations against President Trump and his Administration about the Russians.

First of all, the Demoncrats attacks are based upon these “allegations”, “assertions” and “suppositions” of wrong doing, for which there is no substance of evidence that has been presented whatsoever.  The only thing that is being accomplished is fueling the fire of “public opinion”, which keeps the fires of the protestors burning.  The results of all this demagoguery is to stir up the public enough, so that the Trump Administration has nothing better to do than to address all this bullshit on a daily basis.  There is no doubt at least in my mind that the Demoncrats are showing off their distain and jealousy of what the Trump Administration has accomplished in so little time.

In regards to the “wiretapping”; only the FBI has both the authority and the equipment to do all the spying that has come out recently.  Therefore, there are still many actors within the structure of the FBI, who are working on behalf of the prior Obummer Administration.  And yes, it is all being accomplished under their head of the FBI Comey, who has also served under both the Obummer Administration and now the Trump Administration.  The FBI has proven its incompetency all during the investigation(s) of Hitlary Clinton.

All of this crap can be said in one phrase; “political posturing”, for which the media is playing into the hands of the Demoncrats and the “leaks” are feeding the media for their cooperation.  This is a win-win for the Demoncrats, in the hopes of regaining the losses they have endured in at least the past 8 years.  The Demoncrats are licking their wounds and barking at those who caused those wounds.  The thing is the Demoncrats are just opening themselves up for more and more embarrassments and are getting beat up, with all this increase in barking they are engaging.

There are those of us who can clearly see what is going on.  For if there were any substance or the least bit of solid evidence; no time would be wasted in proceeding with a “criminal” investigation.  Without such evidence, all this crap will continue like a festering wound.
