Amazing Healthy Gluten Free Bread Recipe
Yum! looks amazing right? If you have an issue with gluten, are trying to eat more raw foods, or just want to avoid eating baked breads, then you are going to love this recipe!
The one thing I really missed when I got into the raw diet was bread and biscuity type things. I grew up eating sandwiches all the time and have a bit of an obsession with them, but as we all know, a typical sandwich isn't really all that healthy.
Luckily, I found Russell James's website in my early days of beginning a raw food diet, so I learned pretty quickly how to make something to cure my sandwich cravings which was both healthy and delicious. Russell really is a genius – just wait until you taste this recipe!
This bread is not too difficult to pull together, and it will store well in the fridge for a few days. You can also freeze slices of it, so it's there whenever you want a piece!
What Makes This Bread Recipe So Healthy?
When compared to other methods of food preparation, raw food is always the most nutrition-packed. If I were to list all of the health benefits this recipe has for you, the post would be far too long, and I would be taking up time you could be using to actually make it!
Today, I have highlighted a few of the ingredients to show you just why you should try this recipe out!
Sprouted buckwheat is simply amazing. This is what gives the bread its "carb" effect, without actually using wheat or gluten. Buckwheat isn't even a grain. It is said to be one of the most complete proteins and contains 8 essential amino acids. That alone is enough of a reason to start eating it. It helps to balance blood sugar and blood pressure, it cleanses the colon, and is full of "rutin,' a compound that is a powerful capillary wall strengthener. Buckwheat is high in iron and aids in the prevention of osteoporosis, thanks to its high boron and calcium content, and it also helps to alkalise the body.
Zucchini is rich in flavonoid poly-phenolic anti-oxidants such as lutein, zea-xanthin, and carotenes. These help fight free radicals that cause ageing and certain diseases. It is also rich in Vitamin E, with 200IU per 100gram of zucchini, and a good source of potassium and vitamin C. Zucchini contains moderate levels of B complex vitamins.
Lemon: The acidic taste of lemons comes from citric acid, which makes up 8% of the juice. Lemon juice aids digestion, helps to dissolve kidney stones, and is exceptionally beneficial in promoting a healthy liver. Lemons are also an excellent source of vitamin C, which is a powerful natural anti-oxidant. Lemons help the body to fight infections, can help fight oral cancers, and are a good source of minerals.
Avocados are loaded with heart healthy monounsaturated fats and are rich in oleic acid, which is an omega 9 fat. Oleic acid has been shown to reduce inflammation and to have beneficial effects on some genes linked to cancers. Avocados are also loaded with anti-oxidants that help the eyes, and contain heaps of vitamins and minerals:
- Vitamin K: 26% of the RDA.
- Folate: 20% of the RDA.
- Vitamin C: 17% of the RDA.
- Potassium: 14% of the RDA.
- Vitamin B5: 14% of the RDA.
- Vitamin B6: 13% of the RDA.
- Vitamin E: 10% of the RDA.
Raw Buckwheat Bread
Makes 18 'slices'
1/2 cup olive oil
1 1/2 cups sun-dried tomatoes
3 cups sprouted buckwheat
3 1/2 cups peeled courgette (zucchini), roughly chopped
2 cups apple, cored and roughly chopped
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 avocados
1 large onion
1/2 cup minced parsley
1 cup flax meal
- Process the olive oil, sun-dried tomatoes, sprouted buckwheat, courgette, apple, lemon juice, avocados, onion, and parsley until thoroughly mixed.
- Transfer to a large bowl and mix with the flax meal by hand. The reason you do this separately (not in the processor) is that you are likely to have too much mixture for the size of the processor at this point. When you add the flax meal, the mixture will become quite heavy and sticky and could overwork your machine.
- When mixed, process the whole batter in the machine again, but in small batches to achieve a light fluffy texture.
- Divide the mixture in half and place on Paraflexx (nonstick) sheets on dehydrator trays. You can use a normal oven on the lowest setting with door open. Keep an eye on it though as it's going to be hotter than a dehydrator would be.
- Use a spatula to spread the mixture evenly to all 4 sides and corners of the Paraflexx sheet. If the mixture is too sticky, you can wet the spatula to make things easier. Score the whole thing into 9 squares with a knife.
- Dehydrate for 2 hours at 110-115 F. Then remove the Paraflexx sheets by placing another dehydrator tray and mesh on top, and invert so that your original sheet of bread is upside down. That will allow you to peel the Paraflexx sheet off. Continue to dehydrate the underside of the bread.
- Dehydrate for approximately 8 hours more (do this overnight so you're not tempted to eat it before it's ready), or until bread feels light in your hand. If the pieces don't fully come apart where you scored, use a knife to cut them.
This next part of the recipe isn't something you have to make, the bread is still amazing with other fillings, but this cashew mayo recipe is really out of this world!
Cashew mayo
- 1 cup cashews
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons chopped onion
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 teaspoon honey (or desired sweetener)
- Blend all ingredients in a high-speed blender until smooth.
The mushrooms are also optional.
- Cut portabello mushrooms into thick 1 cm wide strips. Marinate them for a couple of hours or overnight in equal parts of tamari and olive oil.
- Arrange them on a dehydrator sheet and dehydrate overnight.
If you make this, we'd love to hear how it turned out. You can leave a comment below!
Who Is The Raw Chef? – Russell James
"Before I got into raw food, I felt rubbish and I most definitely looked rubbish. Even though I was eating "good" food (meat, chicken, veg and fruit), I had very little energy, I always looked a bit ill, and I couldn't shake off an acne problem. I was up for trying anything to look and feel better, so back in 2004, I went to Koh Samui in Thailand for a 7-day fast – and discovered raw food.
I spent all my spare time reading up on raw food, finding the best places to buy ingredients, and experimenting with delicious, practical recipes – which I shared on my blog. I'd not been trained as a chef at all, but off the back of my blog I had people from all over the world flying in to take classes with me.
Now, after a year in the US writing and teaching at culinary academies, I've set up Raw Chef HQ in London, and I'm sharing my recipes and ideas with 43,122 people from over 50 countries in my Raw Chef community."

Food Brands Owned By Monsanto
In Brief
- The Facts:
Below is a list of food brands currently owned by Monsanto. The list was put out by Vocal Media.
- Reflect On:
Are the foods we eat safe? Are the chemicals we eat ingest with them safe? A lot of science has shown otherwise, so what's really going on here.
Monsanto is a biotech corporation that was founded in the early 1900s. They produce genetically modified foods (GMOs) and many chemicals that are sprayed onto our food, including several pesticides. A recent study published in the journal Environmental Research titled, "Organic diet intervention significantly reduces urinary pesticide levels in U.S. children and adults" outlined the issue with these chemicals, many of which were actually originally designed by Monsanto as warfare weapons to be used as nerve agents.
The study highlighted that diet is the primary source of pesticide exposure in both children and adults. It found that an organic diet significantly reduced neonicotinoid, OP pyrethroid, 2,4-D exposure, with the greatest reduction observed in malathion, clothianidin, and chlorpyrifos.
The researchers noted that all of us are exposed "to a cocktail of toxic synthetic pesticides linked to a range of health problems from our daily diets." They explained how "certified organic food is produced without these pesticides," and attempted to answer the question, "Can eating organic really reduce levels of pesticides in our bodies?"
They tested four American families who typically don't eat organic food to find out.
First, we tested the levels of pesticides in their bodies on a non-organic diet for six days. We found 14 chemicals representing potential exposure to 40 different pesticides in every study participant. These included organophosphates, pyrethroids, neonicotinoids and the phenoxy herbicide 2,4-D. Some of the pesticides we found are linked to increased risk of cancer, infertility, learning disabilities, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and more. (source)
This is one of multiple studies that've shown the benefits of switching to an organic diet.
When it comes to GMOs, there is a wealth of information that shows corruption with regard to their approval. A great resource to learn more about that is called Altered Genes, Twisted Truth: How the Venture to Genetically Engineer Our Food Has Subverte.
The stranglehold that corporations like Monsanto have on governments and government agencies like the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is quite strong. Many senior CDC scientists actually stressed this, but there are several other examples of this type of corruption.
For example, glyphosate, an active ingredient in Monsanto's Roundup herbicide, was recently re-licensed and approved by European Parliament. However, MEPs found the science given to them was plagiarized, full of industry science written by Monsanto. You can read more about that here.
Glyphosate has been implicated in thousands of cancer cases, and Monsanto has already paid out billions of dollars to multiple victims. Dewayne Johnson is one of multiple examples.
Many mainstream foods were also found to be contaminated with glyphosate. Here's a list of children's foods that've been contaminated.
Monsanto was recently acquired by Bayer Pharmaceuticals. Big food and big pharma are one in the same. They own the press, they own politicians, and they practically dictate government policy. There are a multitude of examples that illustrate the massive amount of corruption that drives these corporations, yet they are still operating despite the fact that the products they offer have been proven to be extremely damaging to human health as well as the environment.
Those of you who have been involved in the past in the battle to protect our children from poorly made vaccines or toxic chemicals in our food or in our water know the power of these industries and how they've undermined every institution in our democracy that is supposed to protect little children from powerful, greedy corporations. Even the pharmaceutical companies have been able to purchase congress. They're the largest lobbying entity in Washington D.C.. They have more lobbyists in Washington D.C. than there are congressman and senators combined. They give twice to congress what the next largest lobbying entity is, which is oil and gas… Imagine the power they exercise over both republicans and democrats. They've captured them (our regulatory agencies) and turned them into sock puppets. They've compromised the press… and they destroy the publications that publish real science. – Robert F. Kennedy (source)
Today, annual protests are held against the agrochemical company to demonstrate the public's displeasure with Monsanto's practices. Not only do the protests illustrate how many people are against genetically modified organisms, but they also represent how many people are against the dangerous pesticides Monsanto produces to kill off pests and insects.
Here are some of the brands that Monsanto works with.

The Manufacturing of Bone Diseases: The Story of Osteoporosis and Osteopenia
In Brief
- The Facts:
The Facts:This article was written by Sayer Ji, Founder of Greenmedinfo.com where this article was originally published. Posted here with permission.
- Reflect On:
Modern day definitions of Osteopenia & Osteoporosis were conceived by the World Health Organization (WHO) in the early 90's and then projected upon millions of women's bodies in order to convince them they had a drug-treatable disease.
Osteopenia (1992)[i] and Osteoporosis (1994)[ii] were formally identified as skeletal diseases by the World Health Organization (HTO) as bone mineral densities (BMD) 1 and 2.5 standard deviations, respectively, below the peak bone mass of an average young adult Caucasian female, as measured by an x-ray device known as Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA, or DEXA). This technical definition, now used widely around the world as the gold standard, is disturbingly inept, and as we shall see, likely conceals an agenda that has nothing to do with the promotion of health.
Deviant Standards: Aging Transformed Into a Disease
A 'standard deviation' is simply a quantity calculated to indicate the extent of deviation for a group as a whole, i.e. within any natural population there will be folks with higher and lower biological values, e.g. height, weight, bone mineral density, cholesterol levels. The choice of an average young adult female (approximately 30-year old) at peak bone mass in the human lifecycle as the new standard of normality for all women 30 or older, was, of course, not only completely arbitrary but also highly illogical. After all, why should a 80-year old's bones be defined as "abnormal" if they are less dense than a 30-year old's?
Within the WHO's new BMD definitions the aging process is redefined as a disease, and these definitions targeted women, much in the same way that menopause was once redefined as a "disease" that needed to be treated with synthetic hormone replacement (HRT) therapies; that is, before the whole house of cards collapsed with the realization that by "treating" menopause as a disease the medical establishment was causing far more harm than good, e.g. heart disease, stroke and cancer.
As if to fill the void left by the HRT debacle and the disillusionment of millions of women, the WHO's new definitions resulted in the diagnosis, and subsequent labeling, of millions of healthy middle-aged and older women with what they were now being made to believe was another "health condition," serious enough to justify the use of expensive and extremely dangerous bone drugs (and equally dangerous mega-doses of elemental calcium) in the pursuit of increasing bone density by any means necessary.
One thing that cannot be debated, as it is now a matter of history, is that this sudden transformation of healthy women, who suffered no symptoms of "low bone mineral density," into an at-risk, treatment-appropriate group, served to generate billions of dollars of revenue for DXA device manufacturers, doctor visits, and drug prescriptions around the world.
WHO Are They Kidding?
Osteopenia is, in fact, a medical and diagnostic non-entity. The term itself describes nothing more than a statistical deviation from an arbitrarily determined numerical value or norm. According to the osteoporosis epidemiologist Dr. L. Joseph Melton at the Mayo Clinic who participated in setting the original WHO criteria in 1992, "[osteopenia] was just meant to indicate the emergence of a problem," and noted that "It didn't have any particular diagnostic or therapeutic significance. It was just meant to show a huge group who looked like they might be at risk."[iii] Another expert, Michael McClung, director of the Oregon Osteoporosis Center, criticized the newly adopted disease category osteopenia by saying "We have medicalized a nonproblem."[iv]
In reality, the WHO definitions violate both commonsense and fundamental facts of biological science (sadly, an increasingly prevalent phenomenon within drug company-funded science). After all, anyone over 30 years of age should have lower bone density than a 30 year old, as this is consistent with the normal and natural healthy aging process. And yet, according to the WHO definition of osteopenia, the eons-old programming of our bodies to gradually shed bone density as we age, is to be considered a faulty design and/or pathology in need of medical intervention.
How the WHO, or any other organization which purports to be a science-based "medical authority," can make an ostensibly educated public believe that the natural thinning of the bones is not normal, or more absurdly: a disease, is astounding. In defense of the public, the cryptic manner in which these definitions and diagnoses have been cloaked in obscure mathematical and clinical language makes it rather difficult for the layperson to discern just how outright insane the logic they are employing really is.
So, let's look closer at the definitions now, which are brilliantly elucidated by Washington.edu's published online course on Bone Densitometry, which can viewed in its entirety here.
The Manufacture of a Disease through Categorical Sleight-of-Hand
The image above shows the natural decrease in hip bone density occurring with age, with variations in race and gender depicted. Observe that loss of bone mineral density with age is a normal process.
Next, is the classical bell-shaped curve, from which T- and Z-scores are based. T-sores are based on the young adult standard (30-year old) bone density as being normal for everyone, regardless of age, whereas the much more logical Z-score compares your bone mineral density to that of your age group, as well as sex and ethnic background. Now here's where it gets disturbingly clear how ridiculous the T-score really system is….
Above is an image showing how within the population of women used to determine "normal" bone mineral density, e.g. 30-year olds, 16% of them already "have" osteopenia" according to the WHO definitions, and 3% already "have" osteoporosis! According to Washington.edu's online course "One standard deviation is at the 16th percentile, so by definition 16% of young women have osteopenia! As shown below, by the time women reach age 80, very few are considered normal."
Above you will see what happens when the WHO definitions of "normal bone density" are applied to aging populations. Whereas at age 25, 15% of the population will "have" osteopenia, by age 50 the number grows to 33%. And by age 65, 60% will be told they have either osteopenia (40%) or osteoporosis (20%).
On the other hand, if one uses the Z-score, which compares your bones to that of your age group, something remarkable happens: a huge burden of "disease" disappears! In a review on the topic published in 2009 in the Journal of Clinical Densitometry, 30-39% of the subjects who had been diagnosed with osteoporosis with two different DXA machine models were reclassified as either normal or "osteopenic" when the Z- score was used instead of the T-score. The table therefore can be turned on the magician-like sleight-of-hand used to convert healthy people into diseased ones, as long as an age-appropriate standard of measurement is applied, which presently it is not.
Bone Mineral Density is NOT Equivalent to Bone Strength
As you can see there are a number of insurmountable problems with the WHO's definitions, but perhaps the most fatal flaw is the fact that the Dual energy X-ray absorpitometry device (DXA) is only capable of revealing the mineral density of the bone, and this is not the same thing as bone quality/strength.
While there is a correlation between bone mineral density and bone quality/strength – that is to say, they overlap in places — they are not equivalent. In other words, density, while an excellent indicator of compressive strength (resisting breaking when being crushed by a static weight), is not an accurate indicator of tensile strength (resisting breaking when being pulled or stretched).
Indeed, in some cases having higher bone density indicates that the bone is actually weaker. Glass, for instance, has high density and compressive strength, but it is extremely brittle and lacks the tensile strength required to withstand easily shattering in a fall. Wood, on the other hand, which is closer in nature to human bone than glass or stone is less dense relative to these materials, but also extremely strong relative to them, capable of bending and stretching to withstand the very same forces which the bone is faced with during a fall. Or, take spider web. It is has infinitely greater strength and virtually no density. Given these facts, having "high" bone density (and thereby not having osteoporosis) may actually increase the risk of fracture in a real-life scenario like a fall.
Essentially, the WHO definitions distract from key issues surrounding bone quality and real world bone fracture risks, such as gait and vision disorders.[v] In other words, if you are able to see and move correctly in our body, you are less likely to fall, which means you are less prone to fracture. Keep in mind also that the quality of human bone depends entirely on dietary and lifestyle patterns and choices, and unlike x-ray-based measurements, bone quality is not decomposable to strictly numerical values, e.g. mineral density scores. Vitamin K2 and soy isoflavones, for instance, significantly reduce bone fracture rates without increasing bone density. Scoring high on bone density tests may save a woman from being intimidated into taking dangerous drugs or swallowing massive doses of elemetal calcium, but it may not translate into preventing "osteoporosis," which to the layperson means the risk of breaking a bone. But high bone mineral density may result in far worse problems…
High Bone Mineral Density & Breast Cancer
One of the most important facts about bone mineral density, conspicuously absent from discussion, is that having higher-than-normal bone density in middle-aged and older women actually INCREASES their risk of breast cancer by 200-300%, and this is according to research published in some of the world's most well-respected and authoritative journals, e.g. Lancet, JAMA, NCI. (see citations below).
While it has been known for at least fifteen years that high bone density profoundly increases the risk of breast cancer — and particularly malignant breast cancer — the issue has been given little to no attention, likely because it contradicts the propaganda expounded by mainstream woman's health advocacy organizations. Breast cancer awareness programs focus on x-ray based breast screenings as a form of "early detection," and the National Osteoporosis Foundation's entire platform is based on expounding the belief that increasing bone mineral density for osteoporosis prevention translates into improved quality and length of life for women.
The research, however, is not going away, and eventually these organizations will have to acknowledge it, or risk losing credibility.
Journal of the American Medical Association (1996): Women with bone mineral density above the 25th percentile have 2.0 to 2.5 times increased risk of breast cancer compared with women below the 25th percentile.
Journal of Nutrition Reviews (1997): Postmenopausal women in the highest quartile for metacarpal bone mass were found to have an increased risk of developing breast cancer, after adjusting for age and other variables known to influence breast cancer risk.
American Journal of Epidemiology (1998): Women with a positive family history of breast cancer and who are in the highest tertile bone mineral density are at a 3.41-fold increased risk compared with women in the lowest tertile.
Journal of the National Cancer Institute (2001): Elderly women with high bone mineral density (BMD) have up to 2.7 times greater risk of breast cancer, especially advanced cancer, compared with women with low BMD.
Journal Breast (2001): Women in the lowest quartile of bone mass appear to be protected against breast cancer.
Journal Bone (2003): Higher bone density (upper 33%) is associated with a 2-fold increased risk of breast cancer.
European Journal of Epidemiology (2004): Women with highest tertile bone mineral density (BMD) measured at the Ward's triangle and at the femoral neck are respectively at 2.2-and 3.3-fold increased risk of breast cancer compared with women at the lowest tertile of BMD.

High Bone Density: More Harm Than Good
The present-day fixation within the global medical community on "osteoporosis prevention" as a top women's health concern, is simply not supported by the facts. The #1 cause of death in women today is heart disease, and the #2 cause of death is cancer, particularly breast cancer, and not death from complications associated with a bone fracture or break. In fact, in the grand scheme of things osteoporosis or low bone mineral density does not even make the CDC's top ten list of causes of female mortality. So, why is it given such a high place within the hierarchy of women's health concerns? Is it a business decision or a medical one?
Regardless of the reason or motive, the obsessive fixation on bone mineral density is severely undermining the overall health of women. For example, the mega-dose calcium supplements being taken by millions of women to "increase bone mineral density" are known to increase the risk of heart attack by between 24-27%, according to two 2011 meta-analyses published in Lancet, and 86% according to a more recent meta-analysis published in the journal Heart. Given the overwhelming evidence, the 1200+ mgs of elemental calcium the National Osteoporosis Foundation (NOF) recommends women 50 and older take to "protect their bones," may very well be inducing coronary artery spasms, heart attacks and calcified arterial plaque in millions of women. Considering that the NOF name calcium supplement manufacturers Citrical and Oscal as corporate sponsors, it is unlikely their message will change anytime soon.
Now, when we consider the case of increased breast cancer risk linked to high bone mineral density, being diagnosed with osteopenia or osteoporosis would actually indicate a significantly reduced risk of developing the disease. What is more concerning to women: breaking a bone (from which one can heal), or developing breast cancer? If it is the latter, a low BMD reading could be considered cause for celebration and not depression, fear and the continued ingestion of inappropriate medications or supplements, which is usually the case following a diagnosis of osteopenia or osteoporosis.
We hope this article will put to rest any doubts that the WHO's fixation on high bone density was designed not to protect or improve the health of women, but rather to convert the natural aging process into a blockbuster disease, capable of generating billions of dollars of revenue.

Scientist Discovers Cells That 'Ingest' Vaccine Aluminum Are The Same Cells Found In Autistic Brains
In Brief
- The Facts:
Dr. Christopher Exley, a Professor in Bioinorganic Chemistry at Keele University explains what happens to aluminum when it is injected via a vaccine.
- Reflect On:
Are doctors learning and up to date with the latest publications on vaccines? Why have there been no safety studies to prove that it's safe to inject aluminum, let alone the many other ingredients that are present in vaccines?
What's happening in our world with regards to the censorship of information is unbelievable. It's truly Orwellian, as we now have multiple 'ministries of truth' that are determining what is real and what is fake, what's legit and what's not. You would think that human beings are capable of determining on their own what's considered 'fake' news, shouldn't we the people be allowed to decide?
The truth is that this censorship of information is happening on all fronts, and it's not really about media integrity, but more so about silencing and censoring information that doesn't fit the accepted framework of certain political and elitist agendas.
News browser extension NewsGuard, for example, promises to help readers pick out fake news. However, NewsGuard is funded and run by individuals tied to the CFR, Atlantic Council and other prominent elite figures. Get the picture?
This is also why Wikileaks' Julian Assange has been silenced, because the truth often threatens various corporate and political agendas, which are extremely unethical and immoral.
Many topics are being censored and labelled as 'fake news.' This includes presenting information that's getting published by reputable academics in peer-reviewed science journals. Any type of information that goes against the medical establishment/industry is getting censored. Many papers have been retracted to protect the industry and corporate profits.
"The medical profession is being bought by the pharmaceutical industry, not only in terms of the practice of medicine, but also in terms of teaching and research. The academic institutions of this country are allowing themselves to be the paid agents of the pharmaceutical industry. I think it's disgraceful." – Arnold Seymour Relman (1923-2014), Harvard Professor of Medicine and Former Editor-in-Chief of the New England Medical Journal (source)
Vaccines are a big topic, and mainstream media is constantly bombarding any paper, publication or information that calls into question the safety of vaccines. Social media giants are censoring articles–no matter how well sourced, presented and credible they are–that paint vaccines in a harmful light. Tactics currently used by the mainstream are simply ridiculing anybody that questions the safety of vaccines and labeling information that paints them in a harmful light as "anti-vaccine propaganda."
There is never any mention of the actual concerns being raised regarding vaccine safety, there is only ridicule and character assassination of those who are creating awareness.
There is a reason why the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act has paid nearly $4 billion to families of vaccine injured children, and that's because they are not completely safe for everybody, this is not a 'one size fits all' deal.
Furthermore, vaccine ingredients have never been tested for safety. You would think that injecting an infant would first involve the appropriate safety studies to see where these ingredients are going in the body, and what they are doing to our biology.
Why have we been prevented from even questioning vaccine safety? How is that scientific?
A number of scientists have started to recognize this and are thankfully taking matters into their own hands. One of the best examples is Dr. Christopher Exley, a Professor in Bioinorganic Chemistry at Keele University who's considered by many to be the world's leading expert in aluminum toxicology.
One ingredient that hasn't gone through appropriate safety testing is the aluminum adjuvant that's used in vaccines.
A study published in 2011 makes the issue quite clear:
Aluminum is an experimentally demonstrated neurotoxin and the most commonly used vaccine adjuvant. Despite almost 90 years of widespread use of aluminum adjuvants, medical science's understanding about their mechanisms of action is still remarkably poor. There is also a concerning scarcity of data on toxicology and pharmacokinetics of these compounds. In spite of this, the notion that aluminum in vaccines is safe appears to be widely accepted. Experimental research, however, clearly shows that aluminum adjuvants have a potential to induce serious immunological disorders in humans. (source)
The key takeaway here is that "medical science's understanding about their mechanisms of action is still remarkably poor."
After this study, more research came out to help us better understand what happens when aluminum is injected into the body. It has been found that injected aluminum does not exit the body; in fact, it stays in the body and travels to various organs in the brain, where it remains. This isn't surprising since it's the adjuvant, it's designed to stay there or else the vaccine doesn't work.
As the groundbreaking study in 2015 emphasized:
Evidence that aluminum-coated particles phagocytozed in the injected muscle and its draining lymph nodes can disseminate within phagocytes throughout the body and slowly accumulate in the brain further suggests that alum safety should be evaluated in the long term.
Furthermore, in 2018, a paper published in the Journal of Inorganic Biochemistry found that almost 100 percent of the intramuscularly injected aluminum in mice as vaccine adjuvants was absorbed into the systemic circulation and traveled to different sites in the body such as the brain, the joints, and the spleen, where it accumulated and was retained for years post-vaccination. (source)
Exley has been interviewed multiple times about this subject, and all of these studies and his research point to the same findings: Aluminum in vaccines does not exit the body, and it has been linked to multiple diseases, which can develop immediately post-injection or up to decades later in life for certain neurological diseases such as Alzheimer's.
A study by Exley and his team published in 2018 should have made headlines everywhere, as it discovered historically high amounts of aluminum in autistic brains. The study was conducted by some of the world's leading scientists in the field.
Other studies by multiple scientists in this field have shown massive damage to motor neurons in the brain of mice and sheep as a result of the aluminum when injected, as well as behavioural abnormalities in mice and sheep along with cognitive decline.(source)
In the interview below, Exley answers a lot of questions, but the part that caught my attention was:
We have looked at what happens to the aluminum adjuvant when it's injected and we have shown that certain types of cells come to the injection site and take up the aluminum inside them. You know, these same cells we also see in the brain tissue in autism. So, for the first time we have a link that honestly I had never expected to find between aluminum as an adjuvant in vaccines and that same aluminum potentially could be carried by those same cells across the blood brain barrier into the brain tissue where it could deposit the aluminum and produce a disease, Encephalopathy (brain damage), it could produce the more severe and disabling form of autism. This is a really shocking finding for us.
The interview is quite informative with regards to aluminum toxicology in general, but if you're interested in the quote above, you can fast forward to the twelve minutes and thirty seconds mark.
The British academic was recently blocked from raising funds to further his study on aluminum in vaccines, apparently after "protests by other scientists." (source) Robert F Kennedy Jr. made a great post regarding the recent blockage on his social media platforms, which is how I first became aware of it.
He who stifles free discussion secretly doubts what he professes to believe in is really true." — Wendel Phillips. GoFundMe today shut down Dr. Christopher Exley's crowd funding campaign to study aluminum in vaccines. Dr. Exley, the world's leading authority on aluminum toxicity angered the Pharma Cartel when his autopsies discovered astronomically high aluminum concentrations in the brains of children with autism. His other studies link aluminum in Merck's Gardasil and other vaccines to dementia, Alzheimer's and autism. Exley joins a long list of scientists silenced for questioning the Vaccine Orthodoxy. While White House Republicans censor climate science at the EPA, congressional Democrats clamor for censorship of vaccine science. It's strange, to me, that these politicians don't understand that censorship is incompatible with democracy. Given purchase, censorship will spread virally until it infects and kills democracy. SCOTUS Justice Potter Stewart called censorship "the hallmark of an authoritarian regime." Heinrich Heine's observed, "Where they have burned books, they will, in the end, burn human beings." (source)
You can read more about that story here.
The Takeaway
It's okay to question vaccine safety. Despite all of the manipulation by mainstream media and the big entities using mass marketing to ridicule anybody who questions the safety of vaccines, it's something important we must all do. It's okay not to trust your doctor when it comes to information on vaccines. Why? Because they aren't really knowledgable. Sure, they can explain how a vaccine works, but as far as research and furthering their education, it's rare to find a doctor who has gone beyond their education and really looked into these subjects. They are trained to believe that vaccines are unquestionably safe, and if they openly question vaccine safety they are in danger of losing their licence. How crazy is that?
The example above with regards to aluminum is one of many concerns that are being ignored. If aluminum in vaccines, for example, is safe, then why don't our federal health regulatory agencies simply conduct the studies to prove it?

A Three-Pronged Focus: A Look At Glenn Hutchins' Philanthropy/
Born in 1955, Glenn Hutchins attended Lawrenceville School in New Jersey and claimed an educational hat trick of bachelor's, business and law degrees from Harvard. Hutchins is co-founder of Silver Lake Partners, a successful private equity firm specializing in technology and technology-enabled companies. Silver Lake has invested in companies such as Skype, Seagate and Dell. It's unclear how much Hutchins is worth.
Hutchins and his wife Debbie are active in philanthropy and last decade established the Hutchins Family Foundation (HFF), which has an accessible website and an executive director. Unfortunately for grantseekers, however, the foundation doesn't evaluate unsolicited requests and has thus far funded "initiatives that that have personal meaning to their family." This has primarily led to grants in three areas: public policy, education and healthcare.
The couple's education philanthropy is highlighted by their support of Hutchins' alma mater, Harvard. The school received a $30 million gift in 2012 to support academic initiatives in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS) and also to launch the Hutchins Family Challenge Fund for House Renewal. The couple's philanthropy at Harvard funded the Hutchins Center for African & African American Research, which "supports research on the history and culture of people of African descent the world over and provides a forum for collaboration and the ongoing exchange of ideas." Prominent African-American Harvard professor and host of PBS' Knowing Your Roots, Henry Louis Gates Jr., directs the center.
Hutchins initially met Gates when the latter was giving a symposium at Martha's Vineyard. At the time, Hutchins' 25th Harvard College reunion was coming up, and Hutchins was trying to figure out how to make an impact with his wealth.
The couple has strongly supported Lawrenceville School and has underwritten the Hutchins Scholars Program to support science and math students there. They've given funds to the Veterans Posse Initiative, an effort of the Posse Foundation, which "seeks to increase the attendance and graduation rates of veterans at the most selective colleges and universities." The couple's support of this initiative has focused on Vassar College, where Debbie graduated. They also support outfits such as Port Chester Carver Center, which supports underprivileged youth, Sponsors for Educational Opportunity, UNC Chapel Hill, and New Visions for Public Schools.
The Hutchins Family Foundation also makes grants within the realm of public policy. This has often come with a more progressive slant, and the foundation states that its approach to public policy is to "promote the creation, dissemination and debate of smart, rigorous and independent research, with a particular focus on economic policies that foster prosperity, opportunity and fairness." Interestingly, Hutchins once served as special advisor on economic and healthcare policy under Bill Clinton.
In the public policy arena, Hutchins strongly supports the Brookings Institution, giving more than $4 million to the think tank in the two most recent tax years for which records are available. The Hutchins Center on Fiscal & Monetary Policy was established at Brookings to provide "independent, non-partisan analysis of fiscal and monetary policy issues in order to improve the quality and effectiveness of those policies, as well as to further public understanding of them."
Hutchins has also given sums to outfits such as the Center for American Progress, which seeks to "build on the achievements of pioneering progressives by addressing 21st century challenges such as energy, national security, economic growth and opportunity, immigration, education and health care." A component of this philanthropy also involves racial equity, and grantees include Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, whose goal is "to secure equal justice for all through the rule of law, targeting in particular the inequalities confronting African Americans and other racial and ethnic minorities."
The Hutchins Family Foundation also makes healthcare grants and has thus far focused on a unique cause— chronic fatigue syndrome, a disorder marked by extreme, disabling fatigue that can't be explained by any underlying medical condition. To that end, the couple established the Chronic Fatigue Initiative (CFI) at the Hutchins Family Foundation, "the first scientifically rigorous and statistically significant, wide-scale research into the underlying infectious, immunological and toxicological causes of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), which previously had attracted little to no resources for basic research." That last bit about "little to no resources for basic research" gives some clues to the couple's interest, and some reports suggest that they are interested in funding orphan diseases. It's possible that there's some personal connection, here, too. CFI received at least $3.35 million in the two most recent tax years for which records are available. Some of this work involves New York-Presbyterian Hospital. Other grantees in this area include the Gladney Center for Adoption and Hospital for Special Surgery.
Hutchins and Debbie have waded into some interesting issues with their philanthropy, so far. Other modest grantmaking has involved environmental causes. Given the couple's work through CFI, perhaps support of other under-the-radar health causes will come down the line. In addition, grantseekers should keep apprised of this funder, as it may be more open to proposals in the coming years once its top priorities are addressed.

President Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九) has adopted a policy of "accommodating" Beijing, a former US official told a congressional hearing on Chinese military and economic aggression.
John Tkacik, a former US diplomat and expert on Chinese and Taiwanese affairs, testified that over the past few months, there had been "an entirely new change in the political posture of Taiwan."
He said that under the Ma administration, Taiwan now "basically agrees" that it is part of China.
Tkacik, who served as the US Department of State's chief China analyst, added that once Taiwan makes that choice, "you are looking at Taiwan moving out of the column of the community of democracies."
Taiwan could become part of China's security interests, he said.
Tkacik said that Taiwan still had a sophisticated basing structure, including phased array radar systems designed to scan China for ballistic missile launches, but in future the radar systems could be turned around to scan the Western Pacific and monitor US military activity.
Similarly, Taiwan's deep-water ports could become home to China's diesel-electric submarines, he said.
"There is also a possibility of China-Taiwan cooperation against Japan and the United States in the East China Sea," he said. "This is what we are looking at. President Ma now has a very clear China policy, but he does not have an America policy."
Tkacik told the House Committee on Foreign Affairs hearing that under US President Barack Obama and former US president George W. Bush, Washington had "cut Taiwan loose."
"Taiwan is now in a phase where they feel they have no support in the United States. The US government is not supporting a Taiwan that is part of the network of Asian democracies," he said. "When faced with that kind of situation, the Taiwanese voters say there is no sense in voting for any kind of government that is going to challenge China because we are not going to get any support."
"If that were to change, it would make a big difference in Taiwan's electoral process," he said.
As of now, Tkacik said, the government in Taipei is adopting policies that are moving "inexorably" toward China.
Larry Wortzel, a member of the US-China Economic and Security Review Commission, told the committee that he thought Tkacik was right.
However, he stressed that Ma was acting with the support of the legislature and voters.
US Representative Howard Berman, the ranking Democrat on the committee, asked those testifying if the Obama administration's offer to upgrade Taiwan's aging F-16 aircraft was sufficient for the nation's self-defense.
Dean Cheng (成斌), a research fellow with the Heritage Foundation, said the upgrades were directed at aircraft that were already 20 years old.
"Every aircraft that is being upgraded is being pulled off the line for an extended period of time. That means the net number of aircraft that Taiwan can put in the air is reduced," Cheng said. "The proposed sale of new F-16C/Ds would replace aircraft that were designed in the 1950s."
Cheng said that not selling the F-16C/Ds to Taiwan meant the Taiwanese air force was being reduced through "sheer attrition and age," without China having to do anything.

Trying to sell your home? Not sure where to find the best realtor to help? Phone books, direct mail, offline marketing, email lists, and online ads are just some of the places you can find real estate agents advertising their services to home sellers. If you're overwhelmed with the options, know you're not alone. Calm your mind and use these tips to find a good agent.
Network referrals hold more influence than a stranger's referral, but if they've never experienced their work in person, then even a network referral is no better than a stranger's recommendation. Use those referrals as an entry to finding the correct agent, but don't necessarily take them at their word. Do thorough independent research yourself before making a decision.
The true test begins by checking an agent's reputation. Referral or not, agents aren't created equal. Experience, education, productivity level, and a license are mandatory. Their experience, education, and productivity level should exceed your expectations. View their website. Read online reviews related to them. Gather references and contact them for additional information. The answers you find should determine whether this agent is worth your time.
Meet the potential real estate agent in person. Treat this interaction like an interview. Ask tough questions pertaining to experience, education, state license, marketing strategies, and communication methods. Continue the interview by inquiring about sales history, commission, home value, and current knowledge of the city and neighborhoods. The best agents will answer all questions without any problems.
True researchers never focus their energy on one agent. They study three agents minimum. With three agents, sellers can compare commission, marketing tactics, communication skills and prompts (i.e. how long it takes to respond to emails and calls), and comfort level. That said, never select the first agent you meet, read about, or hear about without first doing the same with others. Additionally, never select an agent based on low commission charges. The sale of your house depends heavily on the agent, so a low commission charge doesn't matter if the agent can never sell your house.
A binding contract is risky. You will deal with this agent with a set commission rate for a specified amount of time. Contract length depends heavily on market climate, however, as slower markets receive longer contract obligations than fast-paced markets.
With so much to worry about, finding a good, quality real estate agent shouldn't become too great a weight. A great agent will make selling your home a breeze, rather than adding to the current stress. Unfortunately, the best agents won't arrive at your doorstep. You have to find them.

"Everything is connected!" Meanwhile this is a winged word and it is also a true one!
What remains is the question what exactly does it take to connect and more importantly what are the implications of it.
As human beings we are, just like anything else wired for connection. Even more so, connection is one of the most fundamental principles upon which this universe is built. However as humans we have the ability to partially disconnect from our surroundings or at least so it would seem. Whether this is due to being stuck in ones mind, or in a state of limited perception doesn't really matter. What does matter, are the effects it has on us.
Connection is always there one way or the other. Actually this is part of our whole reason for being here. Because not only is being connected a very fundamental positive and necessary feeling for us, it is also the foundation of all interaction and experience.
If you touch a table you only perceive it because there is an interaction going on, thus you connect with it for a short amount of time very intimately.
"Connecting openly in joy boosts your immune-system, increases vitality, enhances your sense of yourself, fuels enthusiasm, connects you with the current moment and overall improves positivity towards life and oneself."
In human interaction between people it gets really interesting because the different expressions of our consciousness (body, mind, emotions, energy etc.) allow for a great number of subtle nuances in how intense we actually open up, or rather consciously participate in connected interaction.
The layers of our own being literally allow for us to "just interact physically" or on much deeper levels, such as emotionally, mentally, spiritually and energetically.
"Opening yourself to real life connection allows you to get to know more of who you are and being comfortable expressing that because it is an active process of openly sharing your individuality and essence with the world."
We all have experiences with all of those things and what most of us really long for are deep honest connections with other people and the world around us whether they currently are aware of it or not.
The relationship and connectedness you are having with yourself defines a lot of the ability to open up to others or to connect to people and situations fully open hearted.
The more "synchronized" you are in yourself the greater your ability to approach life with open arms and an open heart.
Physically speaking there are many pulsational and rhythmical processes going on in our bodies. Our neurons fire at a certain rate, we breathe in a certain frequency, our colon rhythmically contracts , and the heart has its very distinct life supporting pulse, etc… To put it in the simplest possible term, there can either be chaos in your body's dynamic functions, or they can work together in a harmonious way.
All our thoughts and emotions eventually express themselves in either supporting chaos or supporting harmonious interaction between our bodily functions. When all body functions work together in a balanced, "happy" way, we are able to empathically open to the world and other people around us. It is in this state that we feel, and in fact are 100% safe within ourselves, capable of tremendous kindness and deep understanding.
"The more you are centered, self-accepting and at peace with yourself the easier it is to open up to the world around you."
Another aspect that is quite important when it comes to deep connection is the principle of sharing and or common ground.
If the question is: "Is it possible to really quickly and deeply connect with people that you hardly know and have almost nothing in common with?"… the answer is "YES"
Obviously for most people safety is a huge factor when it comes to interaction with other. Can I open myself to this person or to this group and not get hurt in the process… what do they think of me… what is my safety net… etc.
All those are expressions of insecurities and fears that come from bad experiences or a lack of self-confidence, which is almost always also a lack of connectedness with oneself.
This is the reason why having a common goal or some sort of common ground in the way we think or we perceive the world can help a lot. It is finding this common thread that one can kinda hold on to or come back to when things become intense either at work, personally or in the interaction with certain people. And yet, there is this one aspect that is absolutely crucial and that adds so many different layers to personal interaction and connection that it makes all the difference. SHARING
Something as simple as a shared experience no matter which one that is, literally just spending time together, walking through the streets, having a drink together or talking about a movie, allows for a safe "place" where two people can meet with open hearts just being in and enjoying the moment.
The reason why this works is because there is a second, much more important and potent safety-net than to have common ground with someone, and that is being in ones own spontaneous authentic expression. Almost nothing else can ever make you feel as safe in your interactions and connections than being yourself out of the pure joy of interacting in the present moment.
The truly funny thing is this: Being positively open means that your energy-output is higher and your whole perception is in high gear aswell. The result is that through this you are more actively participating in all the connections that are going on around you thus taking a more active part in the creation of this very moment itself and literally sharing yourself with the world. As this is a basic principle, by doing so you connect with the very core of yourself and how even your body holds together which again increases the internal feeling of integrity and the internal aswell as external feeling of belonging.
You are safe.

The UN General Assembly (UNGA) has elected Mogens Lykketoft of Denmark as its next President. Mr Lykketoft will take over from incumbent Sam Kutesa of Uganda to preside over the General Assembly's 70th anniversary session, which begins in September. Current President Kutesa has already expressed strong support for the aims of the 1 for 7 Billion campaign at a meeting on 1 May 2015.
During a media stakeout earlier this week, Mr Lykketoft noted the widespread interest among member states in improving the process to select the next UN Secretary-General.
Mr Lykketoft commented "I have heard a very strong wish from member states that [the appointment of the Secretary-General] could be a process where different candidates could be presented".
Recent UNGA debates have made it clear there is near universal demand for transforming the way in which the UN appoints its next Secretary-General. Such demands from all regions of the world give the President of the General Assembly a clear mandate to act in support of opening up the secretive and opaque selection process.
Specific contributions that the President of the General Assembly could make include:
- issuing a joint call with the President of the Security Council inviting nominations from member states, parliaments and civil society organisations of candidates that meet the necessary qualifications. The call should preferably come before the start of the UNGA's 70th session and should set out a clear timetable for the selection process including a closing date for nominations;
- publishing a list of all the official candidates and their CVs at the end of the nominations phase and keeping the UN membership and general public well informed regarding developments thereafter;
- facilitating open hearings for all candidates enabling member states, civil society and the media to assess candidates and their visions.

Festive feasts, Indian Street food and lots of cake
Working our way through Christmas meant working our way through most of the restaurants in the shire (as if roast dinners weren't enough).
One of our catch ups took place at The Tavern, which I've wanted to revisit since they brought back their old school menu. I started with clams & samphire in cider followed by Chicken, lemon, aioli and mash potato with marrow butter (sounds pretentious but definitely worth changing your potato side to this mashy goodness). The man had a burger which he wasn't that fussed with - I think Cheltenham has become the hub of good burgers and so they had a lot to compete with (more on this later...). We finished with a 'Sticky Toffee sandwich' because I'd seen it on Instagram far too much to resist (laters wedding diet).
New Years Eve was spent bar/house hopping - with an 'Indian Street Food' dinner wedged in between. Delhi Heights is fast becoming our favourite takeaway - with amazing Bhaji scotch eggs and build 'em up Naan breads with meat/sauce/toppings.
Feeling fat yet? If you can handle another mouthful then I definitely recommend a visit to Holee Cow for the aforementioned burger. V.juicy but the sides stole the show. Mac & Cheese bites, sticky chicken wings and chunky choc milkshakes. This was just what I needed to recover from a gin-filled festive catchup, and a much better prospect than the queue/cost/lack of tables at Five Guys.
Top this off with cake in every flavour you can think of and you've got yourself one Santa belly. We took a trip to Stow to pick up our wedding rings and had a cake break at The Hive - where we had Rose & pistachio cake and Chocolate & avocado (wtf).
Now January is here I shall be shutting my gob/wallet and shaping up for the big day...

Elizabeth Warren and the Cab Driver
American politics have always been rough and tumble. Civility is not a requirement. Technology has given politicians more scope in their invasive campaigning techniques. The candidate tracker is such a feature. Today's campaigns assign a tracker to follow the opponent from event to event with an audio/video recording device to record their every move. They hope to capture embarrassing moments, or in some cases, perhaps create such moments. Paparazzi-like confrontations are a risk of the trade. Both Massachusetts candidates for the Senate, incumbent Scott Brown (R) and challenger Elizabeth Warren (D), use trackers. On 26 August a tracker from Senator Brown's campaign was tracking Ms. Warren at an event in Oak Bluffs, Martha's Vineyard. After the event, Ms. Brown and her companions entered their vehicle, a large SUV owned by Martha's Vineyard Taxi, Morgan Reitzas (The Boss). Mr. Reitzas was the vehicle driver. Mr. Reitzas then...(Read Full Post)

Turbot St, Brisbane, QLD, 4000
Hi I'm Shane Goodwin, a knife sharpening specialist from Brisbane Queensland. I have been sharpening knives for 10 years now and have developed my own sharpening technique that I call "Soft Stoning". Soft Stoning is the art of sharpening a knife to a razors edge using a soft sharpening stone. This soft stone forms a rounded edge on a knife which allows more metal to be retained. This gives the edge more strength and makes it very robust. Once this is done, the edge is then polished to a mirror like finish using specialist tools and a lapping compounds. This means your knife will stay sharper for longer, and you won't need to sharpen it as much. Saving you time and money. I am a mobile service. I come to your door, collect your knives, and sharpen them onsite for you in my mobile work shop. I require nothing else from you to get the job done. This allows you to continue with your daily routine whilst your knives are being sharpened. I currently work 7 days a week, right up until 10:00pm. Many of my clients require my services later in the day which works well for me as well. My sharpening plan for most knives is the following: 1. Re-grind the knife edge using soft surface and 400 grit surface (Plus realignment on a steel if required). 2. Sharpen the edge using 1000 grit soft surface. 3. Hone the edge using 3000 and 4000 grit soft surface. 4. First strop using cow leather and buffing compound equivalent to 16000 grit. 5. Second strop using kangaroo leather and 2 micron lapping paste. 6. Final strop using kangaroo leather and 0.25 micron lapping paste. Depending on the style of knife, after step 6 the knife is pretty much a razor and you can shave with it. Obviously that depends on the knife thickness and angle of the knifes total profile. I also repair knives. If you've got a damaged or snapped blade I can definitely work on it for you. I can modify knives too. Adding jimping and other features are a great way personalize your knife. If you have anything else that you would like sharpened, please give me a call and we can discuss it further. I'm always happy to chat.more

Amit Jogi, accused, among other things, of fixing an election, once again finds himself at the centre of political turmoil in Chhattisgarh
Kumar Anshuman
14 Jan, 2016
Amit Jogi sits quietly on the lawns of 117 North Avenue, enjoying the Delhi winter sun on a Tuesday afternoon. He is alone except for some staff who are setting up lunch. His mother Renu Jogi, also an MLA from Kota, Chhattisgarh, occasionally checks on him. Soft-spoken, bespectacled and clad in a shirt and trousers, 38-year-old Amit Aishwarya Jogi appears untouched by all the controversy around him as he talks about his youth and his interest in European history. "Delhi is like my hometown because I have spent all my childhood here," he says. "I have spent my golden years in this city." Ever since he moved to Raipur in Chhattisgarh in 2000 after his father Ajit Jogi became its Chief Minister, trouble has constantly courted him. "This is part of public life," he says, with confidence. "When Naxals killed senior Congress leaders in Darbha valley in 2013, some BJP leaders like JP Nadda and Narendra Singh Tomar blamed it on me without any evidence. I have gone through several such incidents. It doesn't affect me," he adds.
This time round, however, Amit Jogi has not managed to escape unscathed. A recent controversy over an audio tape allegedly pointing to his involvement in fixing an election has resulted in a six- year-long suspension from the Congress. Amit Jogi is in Delhi to present his case before the party leaders. The Congress may even oust his father, Ajit Jogi, who had been suspended in 2003 over his role in buying BJP MLAs to form a government, but was reinstated within a month.
The audio tape that surfaced in the last week of 2015 contains a purported conversation about the Antagarh Assembly seat by-election last year among six people— Amit, his father, Manturam Pawar, the Congress candidate who withdrew his nomination at the last minute, Puneet Gupta, son-in-law of Chief Minister Raman Singh, and two others. Pawar's withdrawal at the last moment meant that the Congress had no time to field another candidate, resulting in an easy win for the BJP. Infighting within the Congress state unit is nothing new; it was one of the reasons the party couldn't gain enough seats in the 2013 Assembly polls despite a favourable wave. This fight has now culminated in Amit Jogi's expulsion. "The newspaper which released the audio tape said it was a 'purported conversation'. Of the six people reportedly in it, five have denied that it is their voice," Amit says. "How can you suspend me without even proving the authenticity of these tapes?"
A week later, the story got another twist when Firoz Siddique, the man who released the earlier audio tape, came out with another in which he appears to be in conversation with Chhattisgarh Congress President Bhupesh Baghel. Baghel is heard directing Siddiqui to approach the newspaper with the audio tapes and to expose the Jogis. The mudslinging between the two factions has upset the party high command in Delhi, which is in no mood to reinstate Jogi.
The Jogis have been at the centre of politics in Chhattisgarh ever since the state was created in 2000. Ajit Jogi was its first Chief Minister. He started schemes for Dalits and Tribals and grew immensely popular with these communities, while also tactfully dealing with his rivals within and outside the party. His three- year tenure saw the rise of Amit in state politics. The son acted as chief minister behind the scenes, dealing with the bureaucracy and sanctioning government contracts.
Going by Amit Jogi's election affidavit, there are 12 legal cases registered against him. It all began in 2003, when he was accused of conspiring to murder Ram Avtar Jaggi, a senior leader and treasurer of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) in Chhattisgarh. Satish Jaggi, Ram Avtar Jaggi's son, remembers the dreadful night of 4 June when his father was killed. He was returning home when he saw his father's Alto at Jaison Chowk in Raipur. His first thought was that the car must have met with an accident, but a far worse fate had befallen his father. He had been shot dead. "I knew the Jogis were behind the murder," says Satish Jaggi. It took two years for Amit, the prime accused in the case, to be arrested. He was granted bail after spending 10 months in jail. The shooter, Chiman Singh, was arrested in 2005 from Assam. Amit was once again arrested in May 2007, only to be acquitted of the murder charges due to lack of evidence. Of the 29 accused in the case, 28 were convicted and one set free. That man was Amit Jogi. "In the last few years, they have gone to the higher courts several times, but they have not been able to prove any charges against me," says Amit. "This is part of a larger conspiracy to diminish Tribal leadership in the country."
There is a joke doing the rounds in Chhattisgarh—that if Ajit Jogi were to form his own party, its symbol would be a CD. "Amit is the CD king. He must have more than 200 tapes of politicians and people with whom he wants to settle scores," says a senior state Congress leader. "Over time he has used these tapes to his advantage. Now he is facing the brunt of it." Devendra Yadav, the Mayor of Bhilai, blames Amit for concocting a CD controversy against him when he was president of the state unit of the NSUI. Firoz Siddique, the man who is behind the recent audio tapes, is said to have been Amit's co-conspirator. In fact, he was convicted in the Jaggi murder case and is out on bail. A caretaker, Siddique quickly climbed up the ladder once he became close to the Jogis. He is said to have carried out sting operations for the family with such regularity that people in politics reportedly stopped discussing important matters over the phone. But after he was convicted in the Jaggi murder case, an angry Siddique decided to turn on Amit Jogi.
Amit Jogi denies his association with Siddique. "This is baseless. He is a convicted criminal in a case in which I have been acquitted. That is why he is acting against me," he says. Amit Jogi even filed a complaint with the police on 23 December 2015, alleging that Siddique had been sending him messages demanding money and threatening to defame him.
Then there is the mystery of his birth. Amit Jogi was born in Dallas, Texas, on 7 August 1977. In 2001, he applied for Indian citizenship. On 15 January 2002, the Central Government accepted his application. Some local leaders, however, allege that he still holds a US passport. Amit laughs it off. "No one can choose his birthplace," he says. The Supreme Court on 4 January this year ordered an enquiry into his US citizenship in a case filed by Sameera Paikra, the BJP Assembly candidate from Marwahi defeated by Amit Jogi by a margin of over 40,000 votes in the 2013 state polls.
This is where the story starts to get murky. In 2013, just before filing the nomination for contesting the Marwahi Assembly seat, Amit applied for a caste certificate. He submitted a report from the Patwari of Gram Sarbahara, in which he mentioned his place of birth as Gram Sarbahara, Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh. The Patwari report also notes his date of birth as 7 August 1978, which is different from what was mentioned in the application for Indian citizenship.
The Jogi family's claim of being members of a tribe is another matter of controversy in Chhattisgarh. Ajit Jogi's caste certificate, obtained in 1967 from Pendra Road, would make them Kanwar Tribals. However, the National Commission for Scheduled Tribes rejected it and a case was filed against him. Ajit moved the Supreme Court, which, on 13 October 2011, ordered a probe of his caste. The enquiry is still pending. The family's land records also point to their non-Tribal status. In undivided Madhya Pradesh, under Section 165 of the MP Land Revenue Code, a Tribal needed the Collector's permission to sell his property to a non-Tribal. But in 1967, when Ajit Jogi's father KP Jogi sold a piece of land to Govind Prasad Rai—the registration copy is with Open— he mentioned his caste as 'Christian' and did not obtain the aforesaid permission. This means that KP Jogi had claimed to be a non-Tribal. Also, when he bought some property in 1966 from a Tribal, Sumer Singh, the latter took permission from the Additional Collector, Bilaspur, to sell his land to a non-Tribal.
Senior Congress leaders allege that Ajit Jogi has tried to neutralise every possible threat to his leadership. In the 2013 Assembly polls, he openly threatened to put up his own candidates if the party did not bow to his demand for seats. The Antagarh tape is just one more incident that has shifted the focus back on the family. "If we are all that bad then why would people choose us as their representatives?" argues Amit. "None of the allegations has been proven. I am open to a narco test if that is what the Government or the party wants. Rumours are only rumours." But the pace of investigation in the cases against the Jogis puts a question mark on the judicial system.
What is needed is a time-bound probe of the charges. But until then, the Jogis can have the last laugh.

The Last Reformation is a new movement, started in 2011, that is now spreading all over the world. It is about coming back to what we read in the book of Acts. We believe that what we read in the book of Acts is also for today and that we need to come back to the simple disciple life the first Christians had. We believe that The Last Reformation is a reformation about the true gospel and the simple disciple life, but also a reformation of the church. This is the reason why the movement is called The Last Reformation. The "first" reformation was the reformation with Martin Luther in the 16th century. A reformation of the Catholic church that led to the Protestant church.
If we look at the Protestant church today, it looks so much like the Catholic church and so little like what we read in the Bible and especially the book of Acts. Therefore we really need a new reformation that goes so much deeper than what Martin Luther and the other reformers came with. We are talking about a reformation that deals with the doctrines, the Holy Spirit, the whole church system and why we do church the way we do it.
How did it start?
From the book:
We got the first reformation with Martin Luther in the 16th century, and the last 500 years there have been revivals here and there, where truth that has been lost has come back again. We have for example the Baptist church where they came back to the biblical baptism of believers by full immersion and not baptizing infants. Another example is the Pentecostal church where they came back to believe in the gift of the Holy Spirit also for today. Every truth that is now in different boxes, in different places is going to come together. Getting all these truths together with a change of the way we do church will bring us back to the life we see in the book of Acts.
After this desert period, Torben made The Pioneer School, 20 online lessons, which just exploded and many people love it because it confirms something they already knew in their heart. So there was the book 'The Last Reformation' and The Pioneer School and out of that the movement started to be what we see today. Thousands of people worldwide are following this and it is growing everyday.
More about Torben's story can be found here.
Follow Torben's free online bible school:
More than 275.000 have viewed the first lesson and thousands of people around the world registered for this unique training. The training video's were during a half year period by the Danish evangelist Torben Sondergaard. In this course, he shares some unique insight in the Bible, of which many of them he got during a 'desert period' in his life. Following these practical lessons will change your life. It will help you to break free from traditions and structures that people has put up, so you can enter into a life that is similar to the life we read about in the book of Acts.

I want to tell you a story about flour.
Remember a year or so ago, when you could purchase a flour share from the farm?
That was amazing.
As someone who's more than a little enthusiastic about sourcing as much food locally as possible, flour from a NH farm was a game changer. I was recently talking with Luke about current events at the farm, and the subject of flour came up. "Hey," I asked him, "whatever happened to the flour?" I was expecting somewhat of a routine answer. Perhaps the equipment needed replacing, or they had run out of space to store it. I assumed it was something simple and not all that exciting. But the answer he gave me, ah. What a refreshing reminder of the intricacies of farm life, of harmony, and of the careful balance that gives way to nourishment for us all to eat.
After Luke and Catarina moved the farm from Rollinsford to Canterbury, the cow herd began to grow. This increase in cows meant that the need for fresh green grass in summer and hay during the winter was quickly rising. Although the farm was now sitting on 600 acres, optimizing those acres in a way that would both nourish the land and keep up with customer demands was an ongoing and active responsibility. Land can produce many things, and when stewarded carefully, it can produce an amazing abundance, but there is still the reality of competing needs and limited resources for grain vs. pasture vs. vegetables vs. hay. Each time that the grain was ready to be harvested, the farm would scramble to fill the void, as it was a task that required Luke's full attention for the better part of a month. At the same time, the increasing need for pasture and hay posed a real problem. There were 100 acres of land that would make prime pasture land if cleared of trees, but with the limited nature of time and hands, it remained wooded and unusable.
The solution lay in reallocating resources. By taking a break from producing flour, the farm was able to regain a month of Luke's time during which he worked with staff and a local logger to clear all 100 acres. Although the logger's time and equipment helped ease the burden of the work, each stump had to be pulled up by hand, one by one. Once this was accomplished, they were able to turn the land into pasture - all 100 acres. It is on this land where the entire beef herd grazed last summer.
Maybe I'm overly sentimental, but I can't help but treasure this mental image: The farm stopped producing flour (temporarily) to instead produce pasture. Which then produced beef. Which then nourished families. The pasture is now there to stay. The green grass will grow each spring and will continue to support the beef herds, which in turn will nourish the land with their manure while their grazing keeps the pasture open and managed. This is balance. This is harmony. This is the cycle that we are all a part of when we eat Brookford beef or drink Brookford milk or bake (someday, again!) with Brookford flour. It is all intertwined. Delicately and roughly.
Farming is not easy work, nor simple work. It is work that requires sacrifice in a hundred different forms, and it is work that is very literally dependent on the participation, engagement, and love - yes love - of community.
Very soon, we will be sharing an upcoming project with the community. It's a project that stems from that same place of balancing growth and resources with land stewardship and future infrastructure. We're excited to share it with you. Stay tuned.

When I am in Paris during the fashion week, I wait backstage, after the show, and he always talks to me explaining the collection. I always use his quotes, he never said something stupid. His ideas are clear, he always has an inspiration that can be extremely pop or extremely cultural. It depends. Monsieur Gaultier is very international: he talks english, japanese, spanish, italian which is not exactly "typical french". Here below his new 2015 Spring Summer pre-collection.
