The unchecked flow of illegal border-hoppers from the south is washing over us like a Texas flash flood. It negatively impacts our bottom line, greatly compromises our security, and erodes our national identity… but what nobody's talking about is how serious a public health issue it is.
They're trying to cheat the system, but in the end, you're the one who pays. Maybe you don't know this, but all immigrants who want to qualify for their green cards have to go through a thorough testing process. Basically, they have to prove that they don't have any contagious diseases or drug addictions.
Do you have any idea how rampant diseases are in Third World countries that don't have the same sanitary conditions and health care available to them? Our screening process is in place to keep us all safe. Whether people choose to accept it or not, the truth is that too many of the illegals who "bypass" this testing process are coming into this country with more than just their "dream of a better life"-they're also bringing very contagious, and sometimes very deadly, diseases.

If you're not worried, you should be. Think about where these illegals work, like chicken factories, fast-food restaurants, and other places where they handle YOUR food. Or where their children go to school-that's right, they're sitting right next to your children and grandchildren, sneezing all over them in class. Now do you see why I'm so concerned?
The immigration crisis is finally front and center on our national stage-so much so that politicians from both sides of the aisle are being forced to reckon with it (or at least talk about reckoning with it). But this is no cause for celebration. I still say they're overlooking the most critical threat. Consider the scope of the problem:
The high price of illegal immigration
Even conservative estimates peg the number of illegal Hispanics in America at around 10 million. Altogether, just the Mexican nationals among the illegals send more than $15 billion home to their native country every year. This represents Mexico's second largest income stream-second only to oil exports.
Around 25% of Mexico's GDP (or gross domestic product, which is around 250 billion) comes from CRIME. A huge percentage of that crime (narcotics trafficking, human trafficking) takes place in the U.S. An estimated 75% of the illicit drugs in this country come in through our southern border. The gang-murder numbers prove it, too. In L.A. alone, more than 90% of outstanding homicide warrants are for illegals.
Despite the bleeding hearts' claims that illegal immigrants are good for the U.S. economy, the National Academy of Sciences calculates the lifetime fiscal impact of the average adult Mexican immigrant (the amount of taxes paid vs. the value of government services used-like emergency medical and surgical healthcare) to be a NEGATIVE $55,200. That's over half a trillion dollars when multiplied by just the 10 million or so illegals already here.
But those statistics pale in comparison to the health epidemic we face from the infections and viruses that cross our borders unchecked every single day.
Had enough? Well, there's more. A lot more. In my FREE report, 8 Ways Illegal Immigrants Are Making You Sick, I'll tell you all the bone-chilling details of the kinds of diseases illegal immigrants are bringing into this country…like HIV, polio, and malaria, just to name a few-and how you can protect yourself and your family. I'll also give you three foolproof steps we'll need to take in order to curb illegal immigration.
And if anyone asks you where you heard such nonsense, tell them it was from Dr. William Campbell Douglass.

Your Dog Is Not a Vegetarian
by William Campbell Douglass II, MD
DIGG THIS
When I first reported on the breaking story of contamination in mass-produced pet foods that has so far sickened and killed thousands of our beloved American pets – dog and cats, specifically – because it was so early on in the crisis, I had very little information to impart about exactly what was causing these casualties.
But I did have some recommendations on how to safeguard your kitties and pups against this fate: To feed them ONLY raw liver, chicken necks, hamburger, and any other uncooked meats and animal organs. This should include at least one daily raw egg – including the shell – rounding out their diet with cut vegetables put on top.
This advice of mine directly contradicts not only everything you’ll hear down at your local PetSmart store (or Petco, whatever), but also what several mainstream books recently published in wide release have to say about canine and feline diets. Believe me, though – I’m right and they’re wrong.
Today, there’s even more proof of this. More information has surfaced about exactly WHY our precious pets are dying. And as usual when it comes to nutrition – human or animal – one thing lies at the root of all the evil…
Vegetarianism
In case you haven’t heard, the U.S. FDA is all but certain the source of the contamination that’s sickening and killing our cats and dogs is melamine, a toxic chemical used in the manufacture of plastics, pesticides, and as a fertilizer. Melamine is high in nitrogen. Now stay with me here, this last little factoid is the heart of this whole insidious issue…
Though deemed safe in low concentrations – like what might be found in vegetables grown in fields fertilized or insect-controlled with melamine – direct ingestion of the substance can be deadly. Yet according to the FDA, melamine poisoning is likely what’s sickening and killing so many of our pets nowadays. This kind of contamination would be VERY DIFFICULT without somebody adding melamine directly to pet foods, or to their ingredients.
Why would anyone do this?
Despite the fact that it’s horrible for pets, most brands of modern pet foods – especially the dry varieties – are made almost entirely of vegetable ingredients. There are several reasons for this, foremost among them being cost. It’s far cheaper to make pet foods from soy this and wheat gluten that than it is to use real meats (which is impossible in the dry foods anyway)…
But since the average pet owner is at least aware of the fact that animals, like people, need PROTEIN to survive, pet food makers are big on adding things to their food to boost the appearance of nutrition. And in this case, that "additive" was very likely poisonous melamine.
Remember I said that nitrogen was the key here? According to a recent USA Today article, the agricultural industry typically gauges a raw grain’s protein content by measuring its nitrogen content. Nitrogen levels generally correspond quite closely with protein levels…
Are you starting to see how this shakes out?
That’s right. The FDA and other groups strongly suspect that nitrogen-rich melamine fertilizer was added in raw form to large quantities of ALREADY HARVESTED wheat and rice earmarked for pet foods in order to create the illusion that these worthless grains were higher in protein than they actually are. And please note this is vegetable protein, not animal protein which is what your pets require.
But this is only part of the story.
To sell more pet food, pet owners were deceived into believing the dry vegetable junk food they’re feeding their cats and dogs is protein-rich and good for them (it’s actually horrible for them, melamine-laced or not). I have now brought you up to speed on the sordid saga behind the plight of pets here in the U.S. – at least those whose owners don’t know to ignore the advice of vets and pet-store employees when it comes to your cats’ and dogs’ diets. (Yes, tragically, most of the vets have gone on the vegetarian bandwagon and many sell this trash food from their offices – "Doctor-recommended," you know.) As I’ve said repeatedly, the ONLY foods your little kittens and pups of all breeds and ages should be eating are raw meats and raw eggs, topped with a few fresh-cut vegetables.
However, this isn’t common knowledge to pet owners because of a vast vegetarian conspiracy (more on this later).
At the beginning of this article, I pointed the finger of blame for this pet-food conspiracy – and all its casualties – squarely at vegetarianism. In case you haven’t put the big picture together, let me sum it up for you…
Not entirely surprisingly, the pet industry in this country has been infiltrated and taken over by a branch of the animal rights crowd. Not the most militant sliver, mind you. They believe that animal ownership by humans is as evil as animal slaughter for consumption. But these wackos are just a small percentage of the animal rights movement.
A great many mainstream "animal people" are enthusiastic pet owners who believe in bonding with and loving animals. Unfortunately, a lot of them don’t believe in eating animals, or even allowing their animals to eat animals – even though it’s exactly what their cats and dogs need to be healthy. A lot of them are vegetarians, and by default, their pets are, too. But not all of them are. Plenty of dog and cat owners are meat-eaters, but they still want to buy what’s best for their pets.
So they buy their pet-food on the advice of the "experts" at the local Petco or PetSmart, despite the fact that these stores are largely staffed by young, idealistic folks – many of whom buy into the vegetarian dogma hook, line and sinker. The whole thing combines to become a snowball effect.
Pet owners and buyers of all types get care and feeding advice from misguided people who are convinced that eating meat is cruelty to animals. This creates more demand for meatless pet-food – which spurs pet-food makers to buy ever-larger quantities of the cheapest vegetable ingredients that are still high in protein (even if they’ve been spiked with poisonous additives and it is the wrong type of protein for cats and dogs in the first place). Naturally, the cheapest of these are outside the U.S. And as such, they’re low-quality, un-regulated, and more likely to be hazardous.
Bottom line: If vegetarian dogma did not exist, pet owners, pet-store staffers, and veterinarians would wake up and take notice of what most animals eat naturally – each other. They’d also start allowing this knowledge to guide their dietary advice to pet owners, instead of allowing their own ignorance and prejudices to spur the death and sickening of countless numbers of the very pets they purport to be advocates of.
That’s the very definition of tragic irony, isn’t it?

W. H .O. Murdered Africa
by William Campbell Douglass, M.D.
(September 1987 National Health Federation Monrovia, California)
The object of the World Planners is control -- absolute control. Although the desire to rule the world is not a new ambition, the control sought by this generation of World Planners is more than government, wealth and resources. They control these already. What the World Planners want in order to complete their plan is control of population.
Their control of population is in their ability to control the thoughts and behaviour of the masses. The method which the World Planners are using to achieve their aim of absolute control is mind-boggling when one attempts to unravel it. It is truly a "tangled web of deception".
Before the World Planners can achieve their goal of "absolute control" of the world's population, they must first reduce the existing numbers to an optimum controllable level. The World Planners estimate that planet earth can only sustain a 2.5-billion population by the year 2000, but "Spaceship Earth", according to the United Nations' figures, already has in excess of 4.5-billion people. This hypothesis makes it essential for the world planners not only to bring population growth to a stand still, but it also becomes necessary for a "roll back" in population (the world is to be depopulated); hence zero population programs.
In the New World Order, man will become a "throw away". You will be allowed to exist until you become "surplus to requirements".
"The world has a cancer and the cancer is man", observed one World Planner in the book, Mankind at a Turning Point.
Having set the optimum population number for planet earth, the World Planners have also set a date by which to achieve their optimum population number. And that date is the year 2000. The organisation formed to implement their plan is called GLOBAL 2000.
The following article, "WHO Murdered Africa" is evidence of this plan in action.
The world planners are convinced that what they are doing is for he eventual salvation of mankind and the planet earth. The greatest strength they possess is that the general public does not even know hat they exist.
Trust in the Lord with all shine heart; and lean not unto shine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3:5,6 KJV.
W. H. O. MURDERED AFRICA
There is no question mark after the title of this article because the title is not a question. It's a declarative statement.
WHO, the World Health Organisation, murdered Africa with the AIDS virus. That's a provocative statement isn't it?
The answer to this little mystery, Murder on the WHO express, will be quite clear to you by the end of my report. You will also understand why the other suspects, the homosexuals, the green monkey and the Haitians, were only pawns in this virocidal attack on the non-Communist world.

Making waves in (soda) Pop Culture
Natural blunder
I spend a lot of time talking about natural alternatives to drugs, natural foods (like raw milk and grass-fed beef), and the natural order of things. But obviously, just because something's natural doesn't mean it's good for you - or that it's automatically something you want to put into your body…
Case in point: The new, "all-natural" 7Up soft drink.
Yes, you read that right. In an effort to cash in on the trend away from highly processed or artificial foods (63% of today's consumers show a preference for these), in April Cadbury-Schweppes rolled out a new reformulation of the classic 7Up soda-pop. The new version contains only five ingredients - all of them supposedly "natural." These ingredients are:
1) Filtered carbonated water 2) Citric acid 3) Potassium citrate 4) Natural flavors 5) High-fructose corn syrup
Now, if you take the good people at Cadbury Schweppes at their word when they say that the unspecified "natural flavors" do indeed somehow exist unadulterated in Mother Nature, this list sounds fairly close to their claim…
But hold the phone. High-fructose corn syrup may sound like something wholesome you could cook up in Ma Kettle's kitchen with a few ears of maize. But according to a spokesman for the Center for Science in the Public Interest, it's really a highly refined sweetener made from centrifuges, copious amounts of enzymes, and unnatural-sounding things called hydroclones and ion exchange columns.
This doesn't sound at all "natural" to me. And indeed, I've been railing against high-fructose corn syrup (which is nothing more than a euphemism for "sugar") in foods for years. It's a killer - I'd almost rather have synthetic aspartame in my soda (I don't drink soda, but I'm trying to make a point here).
So how does Cadbury-Schweppes get away with calling this high-tech-sugar laced drink "all-natural" in ads that show 7Up cans hanging from tree limbs like fruit and being dug from the ground like carrots and potatoes? Keep reading…
According to Webster's Dictionary, "natural" means: Existing in or caused by nature; not made or caused by mankind. By this definition, virtually no refined, preserved, or packaged foods of any type could wear the "natural" label…
However, there's no hard and fast definition of the term "natural" as it applies to the foods industry (or the drug industry, for that matter). The FDA has never established one. This is how a lot of junk foods make it onto store shelves with this misnomer in starbursts on their labels.
Conversely, the USDA has a sensible standard for "natural" - to them, the term means minimally processed, with no synthetic or artificial ingredients. And here's an interesting tidbit: According to a NutraIngredients.com article from May 17, the FDA has been petitioned to adopt this definition of the term officially, yet has never done so.
Hmmm. I wonder why? Could it be lobbying pressure from the junk foods biz? Nah, that would make the FDA corrupt!
Thankfully, someone other than the FDIPA (the Food and Drug Industry Promotion Administration) is watching out for us - and is acting against this fraudulent labeling. The aforementioned Center for Science in the Public Interest (a group I don't always agree with, but heartily support in this matter) is bringing suit against 7Up's makers in federal court for deceptive advertising for this "all natural" campaign…
I'll keep you posted as this story progresses.
Doing what comes "natural" - exposing what's not,

Merry Christmas, dammit!
Dear Friend,
Merry Christmas! That’s right: I said “Merry Christmas.” I’ll forgive you if you’re not sure what I mean. After all, the words “Merry” and “Christmas” aren’t often found next to one another anymore, especially around December. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if you had to look up “Christmas” in the dictionary just to be sure what the heck I was really talking about. But I’m saying it now, and I’m saying it loud and proud: MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
So will my Jewish readers respond to my Christmas salutation by immediately unsubscribing? Will I get many emails of complaint from my Muslim readers? The answer is no. Because no sane person could possibly find offense in the phrase “Merry Christmas.” Only the political correctness Nazis are offended by the thought of Christmas. And it’s got to stop.
Of course, by now you know how I feel about the idiocy of political correctness. And Christmas time is the Super Bowl for the political correctness movement. Sadly, it’s also where these morons have managed to have the most success and impact. Which is why you don’t get Christmas cards any more—you get “holiday cards.” You also wish people “season’s greetings,” and go to “holiday parties” at work.
I often refer to the George Orwell’s 1984, and here I go again. Political correctness is the “newspeak” referenced in Orwell’s classic: language deliberately constructed to distort its actual meaning. Like old-line Communists, the champions of political correctness seek to make everything the same for everyone. They wish to create a culture of the bland and generic where no one is offended or inflamed … that way, no one has to think.
But I’m not the only one who sees the absurdity of the whitewashed non-Christmas that we now know as the “happy holidays.” Other people have fought back against this nonsense. Back in 2001, an annual firefighters’ Santa Claus parade was actually objected to by two of the families in the town. I don’t know anything about the background of the people who complained … but I’m guessing that they not only have incredible reserves of free time on the their hands, but are also likely not to be very fun at parties.
But that’s beside the point. The key to this story is that because of TWO FAMILIES, Kensington’s city council voted to ban the jolly old elf from the parade. Santa fans objected, and many townspeople besieged the city hall wearing Santa Claus suits in protest. Sanity prevailed, and Santa was restored to the parade.
Very gradually, some of the battles for Christmas staying Christmas are being won. After the retail giant Target announced a generic “holiday” message in their advertising recently, there was such a huge outcry that Target actually reversed their position and put “Christmas” back into their ad campaign. In Ohio, there was a widespread movement to “Just say ‘Merry Christmas,’” that included bumper stickers and bracelets.
But here’s my favorite: In Phoenix, a sheriff ordered that Christmas music be played all day long on December 25th, throughout the Maricopa County Jail. “We can’t say ‘Merry Christmas’ in the U.S. any more. What are we coming to? Well, I’m saying it. I’m singing it. It’s gonna be in this jail, and that’s the way the ball bounces.”
Imagine that: You’d have to go to jail to hear Christmas music.
The reality is that Elvis didn’t sing “Blue Holiday,” and Bing Crosby didn’t wax sentimental dreaming of a “White Season.” It’s Christmas. I’m not sure why the political correctness people are offended by the cold, hard facts of this holiday: 96 percent of the population celebrates Christmas. So…who’s complaining?
I’m not sure exactly when Christmas became offensive or exclusionary, but it happened so gradually we hardly noticed. It’s only when I look back to the Christmas times I remember from my youth do I realize how small and puckered up this once-glorious holiday has become.
Just watch Miracle on 34th Street, It’s a Wonderful Life, or any of the hundreds of Christmas-themed movies of the 1940s and 1950s, and it’s as if they’re set on another planet, not just in a different era. Unfortunately, all the big, spectacular decorations and celebrations that came to define the Christmas of the past are likely to stay in the past.
If anything, Christmas is the most INCLUSIONARY of the non-secular holidays. The constant theme throughout Christmas is about the spirit of sharing, giving, being goodhearted and helpful toward your fellow man. What could possibly be wrong with that? The spirit of Christmas is all about appealing to what Lincoln called “the better angels of our nature.” It’s a cliché, but it’s true: If people were as nice to one another all year long as they are during the Christmas holidays, America would be a much happier place.
So this Christmas, do your best not only to spread the spirit of Christmas, but the WORD Christmas. I don’t care what your race, color, or creed is. There’s room on Santa’s sleigh for all of us. So no matter who you are, I’m telling you this from the bottom of my heart: MERRY CHRISTMAS!
