Only an idiot would take the essence of life for granted. And to be so trite on such an important resource is just....

"When Nestle subsidiary Poland Spring came to the tiny town of Fryeburg, Maine, USA nearly a decade ago, residents noticed that their water was vanishing. Lake levels were lowering. Streams were getting smaller. Nestle was pumping the aquifer under their town for all it could get.

When the citizens of Fryeburg spoke up, Nestle unleashed an aggressive, divide-and-conquer strategy. It sued the town, nearly bankrupting several local activists. It worked to ensure that local regulatory boards were friendly to its position and it took its case all the way to the state Supreme Court. But Nestle also set up a Poland Spring shop for local outreach, and established the Fryeburg Business Association -- staffed by a Nestle employee -- to lead a charm offensive. Local schools even have a bottled water vending machine and Nestle hands out bottles of water to people in the town.

That's right - a town sitting atop one of America's most famous aquifers is being sold its own water... in plastic bottles. Nestle is boldly planting a story -- telling the residents, even the children, of Fryeburg to get used to drinking their own spring water through Nestle's plastic bottles."

Oh, did I mention that Nestle is Swiss? But I guess that should have been obvious by the Ayn Rand remark in the Crooks and Liars post.

North Korea's Internet down; cause unknown

Experts say there are four possibilities.

- The North Koreans themselves could have withdrawn their IP space from the wider Internet, as Syria has done in the past. "That, under normal circumstances, would be the best explanation for what we're seeing," said Matthew Prince, CEO of content delivery network provider CloudFlare.

That could be a pre-emptive move to prevent any online attacks, including any U.S. retaliation, from reaching the country.

- China Unicom could have cut North Korea off from the Internet. Technically, that would look no different than if North Korea itself had done so. The U.S. has asked for China's help in blocking North Korea from the Internet.

- The North Korean Internet could be under a denial of service attack. It's impossible to know how much bandwidth flows into North Korea, but it's likely quite small. One indicator that it's an attack is the intermittent, up and down, quality of the North Korean Internet over the past day. Prince said it's "probably risky to speculate that that attack is being launched by any state-based entity."

"If I were speculating, it's equally as likely that it's some plucky 15-year-old in a Guy Fawkes mask."

"Because there is such a minimal amount of activity in and out of North Korea, the level of sophistication you would need to disrupt that network is relatively de minimis" as well, he added.

- Today is the day the routers happened to go down in North Korea for reasons unrelated to any attack or other reason. "It could be even that there were power gird problems," said Cowie.

There was no immediate response from the State Department or White House to questions about whether the outage was a result of the "proportionate response" President Barack Obama promised last week to the crippling cyberattack on Sony, which U.S. officials say was orchestrated by Pyongyang.

Oh, I realized that but you made a point worth expanding upon.

Nestle CEO Doesn't Think Water Is A Basic Right, Should Be Privatized


"Amidst the fast and furious tweets of often contradictory information regarding the manhunt for the Boston Marathon bomber, this little gem caught my eye: "Nestle CEO wants to privatize water". Now at first I thought that the headline was merely a grabber to talk about the booming bottled water industry, but then I watched the video and realized, no this guy really thinks that it is a great virtue to be able to privatize water in the future.

There's no question that global climate change and the population boom has resulted in vital resources like water being in short supply. But listen to this guy fly his Ayn Rand freak flag and ask yourself, does this sound like he's interested in protecting a resource for impoverished populations or looking to make a buck?"

Nestle Wants Water Privatized, Previously Drained Millions of Gallons of Water from Arkansas Rivers

"Companies should own every single bit of water on the planet, according to Nestle's former CEO and now-Chairman Peter Brabeck-Letmathe. His position, shared by many others in his ranks, is one of profits over people and corporate rights over human rights. They advocate a sort of survival-of-the-richest, where only those with money should have access to "privileges" like water.

Making rounds several years after its creation, a video depicting Brabeck-Letmathe suggests that while 1.5% of the world's water is for human usage, the other 98.5% "is not a human right". He states that it's this majority of water that should be "valued" through privatization. In other words, because the water is being treated as a human right (when in his mind it isn't), it is being taken for granted. In order to ensure it's used in an efficient manner, he suggests private corporations have access to owning it.

As if this isn’t frightening enough, Brabeck-Letmathe equates his position to that of Monsanto (another vile corporation who puts profits above people)."

One takes your food and the other takes your water leaving those refusing to be a slave to die as a matter of corporate right.

Whoa what, you see a pony go by?

While I accept your base argument, I would contend that the indoctrination is not racial, not denying that racial is a component but not the main stream.

Blacks have always been conceived in the realm of discrimination that while being in a state of improvement has now become a means of invoking division and hatred on a mass scale. But now that have been incorporated into a larger group labeled as activist, enemies of the state. But then the racial component definitely promotes them to the head of the group.

But what must be corrected is not the racist segmentation as that just keeps the people divided, but the violent component of the police state. The racial component needs to be shelved and all work together to correct the actual wrong. It does no good to have a valuable ally as an enemy because of the psychology of division the real enemy uses to keep justice separated.

Guess that shows you didn't watch the clip.

Where there are no guns is not a grown up world but the manifestation of psychopathic/sociopathic individuals that refuse to grow up. They are still of the juvenile manifestation of my dad is bigger than your dad or I am bigger than you. They come up with a false dichotomy they are gods and deserve to dictate the actions of others, the "Supreme" authority.

Authority, an illusion of a diseased psyche, based entirely in violence and built upon the erroneous and dogmatic belief that some people are masters who have the moral right to issue commands, and others are slaves who have a moral obligation to obey the masters.

Slavery, the belief in the legitimacy of "authority" is the belief in the legitimacy of slavery. Ultimately, "authority" is the idea that man can become God and through "jurisdiction" dictate the law.

After WWII the Swiss give up a token of what they stole, in 1997 they again gave up a small token of what they stole. But have they gave up all they stole, not now nor ever, that is the nature of the Swiss.

And the US and Hitler, I need to see this, but then you can't come up with anything, can you? But I can come up with more of what I posted about the Swiss, it is so well documented.

The US is far from innocent of anything but don't sit there and pretend the Swiss have some moral standing, they don't.

Just another half baked analogy from one that hasn't a clue of what they are speaking about but feels they must instill some misguided belief in others.

Not really, that is a statement based on the emotion of the moment. Fools would be like the Swiss that burned and destroyed their own country and then tried to steal territory in the South of France but were stopped by the Romans and made to stay where they had destroyed.

Just whom was responsible, psychopaths supported by statist that believe and give them authority and Solipsist that contend that knowledge of anything outside of one's own mind is unsure, hence there is no such thing as objective truth.

Ignorance, from the Latin verb ignorare: "to not know even though necessary information is present, because that information has been willfully refused or disregarded. Ignorance carries blame. The masses are in a state of ignorance.

The question is why? The answer starts with the emotions and to construct one's life around the emotions.

"One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious. The latter procedure, however, is disagreeable and therefore, not popular." - Carl Jung

In this episode aired in the early 1960s, author, commentator and scholar Dan Smoot discusses how the right to keep and bear arms is an indispensable ingredient of freedom.

From two laws on the books from 1934 and 1938, a declaration that a constitutional government can not be instilled until their repeal and now today, not only no repeal but so many more.

But pay close attention to the New World Order as mentioned then, in 1963.

"I have spoken to the Garner family and we are outraged by the early reports of the police killed in Brooklyn today," civil rights activist Rev. Al Sharpton said in a statement. "Any use of the names of Eric Garner and Michael Brown, in connection with any violence or killing of police, is reprehensible and against the pursuit of justice in both cases."

And no race intonations as it was just Hispanic and Asian that were murdered?

Twist and spin, twist and spin, you forgot to mention Sharpton, Holdem, and Odumbo, again.

Shows just what you know. Already know your ability at research is weak at best, almost nonexistent. And being you are calling it crap must mean just the opposite, you actually don't know.

Love to feed you info as you seem little to know what to do with it. And it would only be one totally ignorant that would distill the cyanide and take it.

"Bitter almonds" have been used as a medical remedy for thousands of years by cultures as diverse as the ancient Egyptians, Chinese, and Pueblo Indians. In 1802, a chemist discovered that distilling the water from bitter almonds released hydrocyanic acid. In the 1830s, the source of this hydrocyanic acid was purified and called amygdalin. It was thought to be the active ingredient in bitter almonds.

But then you are the "big pharma" supporter so I would suggest staying away as their solution might kill you but then no more so than all the other concoctions they promote.

And as for my brain seems to be ahead of your wouldn't you say?

But what does all this have to do with the topic at hand other than a continuation of responses based on emotions? You have already posted the one on the childish tactics of the police over something the mayor did that was actually correct. Now do you have one with children or pregnant mothers?

We should be addressing the NRA and asking why they feel they have a right to represent gun owners and squander away our rights. They, much like yourself, little understand what a "right" really is. And to those that don't know rights, don't have any.

So another pile of conjecture:

Ferguson Rioters Loot Store Michael Brown Allegedly Robbed

You seem to have unification confused with the current state of affairs. Theirs is not to unify but to divide. And in division to deflect so as to not draw attention to reality.

Probably something they learned from the Swiss:

Why is "CH" the abbreviation for Switzerland?

"The reason Caesar wrote about the Helvetians is that they decided to migrate en masse to Gaul (present-day France), either because the barbarians from the north (present-day Germany) were encroaching on their territory or because they thought France would be easy pickings. In any case the Helvetians were determined - Caesar says they burned their villages before starting their long march. The Romans, however, didn't like the idea of hundreds of thousands people on the move close to their territory and forcefully asked them to stay put, which request culminated in the famous (to the Swiss) battle of Bibracte (58 BC) in which the courageous Helvetians were defeated by the dastardly Romans and sent back to their original dwelling place."

Actually I have better sense than to invest in any fiat currency. I understand the difference between asset and joke.

But then to one that believes is statist and suffers from solipsism, the only safe haven is that which controls. All the little sheeple that wait for the next thought so they know what is next.

But being you brought it up, it does seem the Swiss banks are good for something:
