Report: These Front Groups Spend Millions to Shape Perception of Food

Submitted by Galactic Free Press on Wed, 07/01/2015 - 13:51

Infographic – Tobacco-style PR tactics are starting to be a normal part of the food industry as concerns about GMOs, use of pesticides and food additives continue to grow in people’s minds. Big Agra and Big Food companies are eager to win back customers and, thus, are deliberately misleading the public about organics and agricultural practices.

A new report – “Spinning Food” by Friends of the Earth – shows that food and agro-chemical companies “have spent hundreds of millions of dollars in the past few years on stealth PR tactics, deploying over a dozen front groups to push coordinated messages attacking organic food production, defending pesticides and the routine use of antibiotics and promoting GMOs — messages that are making their way into the pages of our largest media outlets.”

Beware of what editorials you see from “independent sources.” Some of them are just advertising in disguise, made to sway public opinion and promote corporate interests. Here’s a chart out of the report that shows just how much these front groups are spending and which corporations they represent.

The Link Between Water Fluoridation and ADHD

More water fluoridation = more ADHD

The evidence from a new scientific research study shows that children who live in water districts where the water supply is systematically fluoridated suffer with ADHD at a significantly higher rate.

“A multivariate regression analysis showed that after socioeconomic status was controlled each 1 percent increase in artificial fluoridation prevalence in 1992 was associated with approximately 67,000 to 131,000 additional ADHD diagnoses from 2003 to 2011.” [1]

For those who are not initiated in the realm of medical statistics, the number of additional diagnoses cited above is extraordinary by any standard of measurement. This study conclusively demonstrates that fluoride exposure among children and adolescents has significant consequences, primarily because of their formative stage of growth and development.

Higher Consciousness: Your Connection Is Real

A reading by Wes Annac, Culture of Awareness

Note from Wes: For a couple years, I’ve been trying to find a way to understand and communicate what these intuitive readings I’ve been receiving really are, and I’ve struggled with it until recently.

My channeling journey has been different from a lot of other people’s, and instead of sticking with one set definition of exactly what or who I was channeling (i.e. Ascended Masters, higher self, etc.), I’ve been trying to find the perfect way to define and subsequently expand the connection.

All of the name changes I’ve given these messages reflect the journey of understanding who they come from, and after some meditation and contemplation, I’ve arrived at what I think is the perfect label to help everyone understand what it is: Higher Consciousness.

‘Higher consciousness’, which I’ve written a lot about, is the higher self. It’s a good, deep meditation. It’s the Voice Within; the inner compass; our intuitive link with God, and if we can empty the mind and open up to it, it’ll impart its bliss onto us and teach us valuable lessons about our spiritual evolution.

Repair Your Energy Body With Nature

Submitted by Galactic Free Press on Wed, 07/01/2015 - 08:15

Crystals, sound healing, diet, meditation, prayer, fasting, chanting, psychedelics, healing modalities, and breathing exercises are common methods spiritual seekers use to help them improve their metaphysical abilities. Unfortunately, some of these methods are not always readily available or feasible (or sometimes even legal!) for everyone to try for themselves. As someone who assists others in developing their intuition, I find that there is one method that is almost always available and totally free: nature.

Dictionary.com defines “nature” as, “The phenomena of the physical world collectively, including plants, animals, the landscape and other products of the earth, as opposed to humans or human creations.”

This “phenomena” has a really quite amazing effect on the energy body. It heals, restores, cleanses, and much more. What’s even more incredible is that each of the many aspects of nature (different environments, herbs, trees etc.) help to facilitate different types of energy healing. So really there is an unlimited number of combinations available to you at any given place on the planet.
