While the left continues to demagogue conservatives for calling for a
“pause” in Muslim migration, until we can ensure that our vetting
process is working, they seem strangely silent about their own bigoted
behavior.
America’s liberals seem excited to receive several
hundred thousand Muslim Syrians over the next few years, but when asked
to take in a handful of Christians they become rather more reticent.
From the Hill:
America is about to accept 9000 Syrian Muslims,
refugees of the brutal war between the Assad regime and its Sunni
opposition, which includes ISIS, Al Qaeda, and various other militias.
That number is predicted to increase each year. There are no Christian refugees that will be admitted.
The Christians are being raped, tortured, and
murdered by militias, not by the Syrian government. This technicality
condemns them to continue to be victims without hope. And this
technicality is being adhered to with all the tenacity with which
President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s State Department manipulated quotas
and created subterfuges to keep out the Jews fleeing the
oppression of Nazi Germany. Obama no more wants the Middle East’s
Christian refugees than Roosevelt wanted Europe’s Jewish refugees.
It
is deplorable, even monstrous, that the group most affected by the
evils of ISIS (and other Muslim groups) are the one groups receiving the
least amount of consideration from the Obama administration. Christians
are being eradicated in historic numbers, an entire population is being
systematically wiped from the earth… and the Obama administration (and
their liberal cronies) does nothing. We conservatives may get the bad
rap for being willing to speak honestly about the dangers of Muslim
migration, but the true bigots are the liberals who are allowing , nay
encouraging by their inaction, the genocide of an entire people.

Majority of EU nations ban GMO cultivation
The clock is ticking ever closer towards a much anticipated end for the
world's biotech moguls. These corporate criminals are now being forced
to watch their entire corrupt business model unravel, as country after
country bans the cultivation of genetically-modified organisms (GMOs) – a
synthetic crop cultivation technology that's been shown scientifically
to harm humans, animals and the environment.
European Union (E.U.) standards currently allow certain GMOs to be cultivated within the borders of member countries, but a majority of these member countries have chosen to "opt out" of the program altogether, due to concerns about both safety and necessity, according to reports. And if things keep moving in this direction throughout Europe, there's a good chance it will spill over into U.S. GMO policy as well.
According to GMO-Free Europe, the following countries have banned cultivation of Monsanto's MON 810 genetically-modified maize (corn), which is among the few GMOs that can legally be grown in Europe:
• Austria
• France
• Germany
• Greece
• Hungary
• Italy
• Luxembourg
• Poland
• Romania
• Switzerland
A color-coded map of European countries with national bans or moratoriums on MON810 or other GMOs can be accessed here.

72 DHS Employees on Terrorist Watch List
At least 72 employees at the Department of Homeland Security are
listed on the U.S. terrorist watch list, according to a Democratic
lawmaker.
Rep. Stephen Lynch (D., Mass.) disclosed that a congressional investigation recently found that at least 72 people working at DHS also “were on the terrorist watch list.”
“Back in August, we did an investigation—the inspector general did—of the Department of Homeland Security, and they had 72 individuals that were on the terrorist watch list that were actually working at the Department of Homeland Security,” Lynch told Boston Public Radio.
“The [former DHS] director had to resign because of that,” he said.
DHS continues to fail inspections aimed at determining the efficiency of its internal safety mechanisms, as well as its efforts to protect the nation.
Lynch referred to a recent report that found the Transportation Security Administration, which is overseen by DHS, failed to stop 95 percent of those who attempted to bring restricted items past airport security.
“We had staffers go into eight different airports to test the department of homeland security screening process at major airports. They had a 95 percent failure rate,” Lynch said. “We had folks—this was a testing exercise, so we had folks going in there with guns on their ankles, and other weapons on their persons, and there was a 95 percent failure rate.”
Lynch said he has “very low confidence” in DHS based on its many failures over the years. For this reason, he voted in favor of recent legislation that will tighten the vetting process for any Syrian refugees applying for asylum in the United States.
“I have very low confidence based on empirical data that we’ve got on the Department of Homeland Security. I think we desperately need another set of eyeballs looking at the vetting process,” he said. “That’s vetting that’s being done at major airports where we have a stationary person coming through a facility, and we’re failing 95 percent of the time.”
“I have even lower confidence that they can conduct the vetting process in places like Jordan, or Belize or on the Syrian border, or in Cairo, or Beirut in any better fashion, especially given the huge volume of applicants we’ve had seeking refugee status,” Lynch said.

25 Cancer Stem Cell Killing Foods Smarter Than Chemo & Radiation
A new scientific review identifies 25 of the top foods
and herbs which kill the cancer stem cells at the root cause of cancer
malignancy.
There are thousands of natural compounds that have been studied with demonstrable anti-cancer activity (check out over 600 on our cancer research database), but only a small subset of these have been proven to target and kill the cancer stem cells which lie at the root of cancer malignancy. Turmeric, for instance, we have featured a number of times for this “smart kill” property of targeting just the heart of cancerous tumors. More recently, ginger has been found in pre-clinical research to contain a compound up to 10,000 times more effective than the chemotherapy drug Taxol at killing breast cancer stem cells. Even common food like blueberry have special cancer killing properties, as discussed in a previous article: Research: Radiotherapy Causes Cancer, Blueberry Kills It.

Even common food like blueberry have special cancer killing properties, as discussed in a previous article: Research: Radiotherapy Causes Cancer, Blueberry Kills It.
A new study published in the journal Anticancer Research titled, “Natural Products That Target Cancer Stem Cells,”
has made our job much easier of identifying this special category of
cancer killers by reviewing the extant literature on the topic and
listing the top 25 substances in this category. They are listed here
below, along with some of their commonly recognizable dietary sources:
-
6-Gingerol – Ginger
-
β-Carotene – Carrot, Leafy Greens
-
Cyclopamine – Corn Lilly [we do not suggest consuming this plant; this simply illustrates natural components exist that kill cancer stem cells]
-
Delphinidin – Blueberry, raspberrry
-
Flavonoids (Genistein) – Soy, red clover, coffee
-
Gossypol – Cottonseed [we do not suggest consuming this plant; this simply illustrates natural components exist that kill cancer stem cells]
-
Guggulsterone – Commiphora (myrrh tree)
-
Isothiocyanates – Cruciferous vegetables
-
Linalool – Mint
-
Lycopene – Grapefruit, tomato
-
Parthenolide – Feverfew
-
Perylill alcohol – Mint, cherry, lavender
-
Piperine – Black pepper
-
Placycodon saponin – Playycodon grandifloruim
-
Psoralidin – Psoralea corylilyfolia
-
Quercetin – Capers, onion
-
Resveratrol – Grapes, plums, berries
-
Salinomycin – Streptomyces albus
-
Silibinin – Milk Thistle
-
Ursolic acid – Thyme, basil, oregano
-
Vitamin D3 – Fish, egg yolk, beef, cod liver oil
-
Withaferin A – Withania somnifera (ashwaganda)
Why are these substances so important?
The primary reason why conventional chemotherapy and radiotherapy have failed to produce any significant improvements in cancer survival rates is because cancer stem cells are resistant to these interventions. In fact, chemotherapy and especially radiation are both capable of increasing the number and virulence
of these cells in a tumor, while at the same time having the well-known
side effect of further damaging the patient’s immune system.
While the cancer industry is still very much resistant to
incorporating the implications of these findings into their standard of
care (which is highly unethical), there are an increasing number of
health practitioners that will not turn their back on the truth and are
very much interested in alternative ways to prevent and treat cancer
using food and/or plant-based approaches.
The new study addresses the relevance of cancer stem cells as follows:
The cancer stem cell model suggests that tumor
initiation is governed by a small subset of distinct cells with
stem-like character termed cancer stem cells (CSCs). CSCs possess
properties of self-renewal and intrinsic survival mechanisms that
contribute to resistance of tumors to most chemotherapeutic
drugs. The failure to eradicate CSCs during the course of therapy is
postulated to be the driving force for tumor recurrence and metastasis.
Recent studies have focused on understanding the unique phenotypic
properties of CSCs from various tumor types, as well as the signaling
pathways that underlie self-renewal and drug resistance.
At present, the cancer industry has failed to produce a
single drug that targets the cancer stem cell population of cells within
a tumor, as confirmed by the study:
If indeed the CSC response is a vital criterion for
cancer treatment evaluation, there are still no drugs in clinical use
that specifically target CSCs.
The ability to selectively target cancer cells,
and cancer stem cells in particular, while leaving intact the non-tumor
cells in tissue is extremely important. We have created a section on
our database that indexes research on these substances and now includes sixty-seven of them here. We are also building a section that collates research cancer stem cells,
a topic will no doubt become a central part of the future of cancer
treatment, assuming the priority is to actually alleviate suffering and
not just make money off of patients.

Cumin Spiced Lettuce Roll Recipe
Cumin is a flavorful spice that will add character to any recipe, and is frequently used in Mexican, Thai, Vietnamese, Greek, Indian, and Mediterranean cuisines. Considered a warm spice similar to cinnamon, cardamom, caraway, or nutmeg, cumin has an earthy, sweet, yet slightly bitter and smoky taste. A member of the parsley family, cumin is also a key ingredient in chili and curry powder.
Did You Know?
- Lettuce makes an ideal weight loss food because aside from being low in calories, it also contains fiber and cellulose that help make you feel full and improve your digestion
- Cumin’s impressive repertoire of vitamins and minerals enables it to deliver healing benefits, such as increasing cognitive performance, improving digestion, preventing diabetes, dispelling phlegm and mucous, and fighting viral infections
- Cayenne pepper and other members of the chili pepper family naturally have capsaicin, a chemical component known to have an extensive array of therapeutic properties. Basically, the hotter the chili, the more capsaicin it has
In this recipe, I’ll show you how a dash of cumin can take this simple lettuce roll dish to a whole new level.
Ingredients
- 1 head leaf lettuce (butter or red leaf)
- 1 avocado, peeled and sliced into strips
- 2 scallions, minced
- 1 red bell pepper, minced
- Alfalfa sprouts Dressing:
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Salt to taste
- ¼ cup olive oil
Procedure:
(From Healthy Recipes for Your Nutritional Type)
- Cut out the lettuce cores. Separate leaves.
- Top with some minced scallions and a few pieces of red pepper.
- Add some sprouts and roll the leaf carefully. Secure with toothpick.
- Continue the process with the remaining lettuce roll ingredients.
- To make the dressing, whisk together lemon juice, honey, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, and salt. Add olive oil.
- Serve lettuce rolls with dressing on the side.

Cumin Spiced Lettuce Roll Preparation Tips
A popular salad staple, lettuce has several varieties you can choose from, such as butterhead, iceberg, and Romaine. Buying full heads of lettuce is more cost-effective, especially if you’re enjoying salads a great deal. But if you’re looking for convenience, you can also try salad mixes that come in bags.
To prepare your lettuce, tear off the leaves and wash them well. (Do not chop them using a knife to avoid bruising the sensitive leaves.) Dry them in a salad spinner or pat dry using clean paper towels. Lettuce is among the long list of vegetables that can be prone to a high pesticide load, so be sure you get locally grown, organic varieties.
Another superstar ingredient of this lettuce wrap recipe is avocado. This superfood not only tastes great, but it’s also very easy to incorporate into your diet. You can add avocado to salads, wraps, burritos, bruschettas, soups, smoothies – you name it!
To avoid ending up with a slimy, messy, and overripe avocado, here’s a tip: check under the stem or the cap on top of the fruit. If you pull off the stem and it’s green, you’ve got a good candidate that’s good enough to eat. But if it’s brown, this means the avocado is overripe and you’ll likely find nasty brown spots inside. However, if the stem won’t come off easily, this means the avocado is not yet ripe.
To preserve the area with the greatest concentration of antioxidants, peel your avocado as you would a banana. Here’s how:
Kitchen Hack: to prevent cut avocados from turning brown and keep them fresh for several days, put it with a half an onion in an airtight container and refrigerate. The sulfur compound from the onion (the same chemical that makes you cry) seems to do the trick, without having its overpowering flavor leach into the avocado.1
- Cut the avocado lengthwise, around the seed.
- Holding each half, twist them in opposite directions to separate them from the seed.
- Remove the seed.
- Cut each half, lengthwise.
- Using your thumb and index finger, peel the skin off each piece.
Choose bright yellow lemons that are smooth and heavy for their size. Veer away from lemons with streaks of green on the skin (which usually indicate higher acidity) or have rough, thick skin (which is a sure sign that they don’t have much juice in them).
Tip: rolling your lemons on the countertop for a few times before squeezing will help them produce more juice.
Meanwhile, spices like cayenne pepper and ground cumin should be stored in an airtight container or inside the freezer. Remember that a little goes a long way, so use these spices sparingly.
Why Are Cumin Spiced Lettuce Rolls Good for You?
Lettuce makes an ideal weight loss food because aside from being low in calories, it also contains fiber and cellulose that can make you feel full and improve your digestion. Apart from that, lettuce also provides:2
Cumin’s impressive repertoire of vitamins and minerals enables it to deliver healing benefits, such as:3
- Vitamin C and beta-carotene, which work together to prevent the oxidation of cholesterol and the buildup of plaque in the heart
- Lactucarium, the white fluid you see when you break or tear lettuce leaves, has relaxing and sleep-inducing properties similar to opium, minus the side effects
- Omega-3 fatty acids
Cayenne pepper and other members of the chili pepper family naturally have capsaicin, a chemical component known to have an extensive array of therapeutic properties. Basically, the hotter the chili, the more capsaicin it’ll have. Some of the benefits of cayenne pepper include:4
- Increasing cognitive performance
- Improving digestion
- Preventing diabetes
- Dispelling phlegm and mucous
- Fighting viral infections
- Relieving anxiety and depression
- Boosting the immune system
- Preventing premature aging
Avocados, which are one of the healthiest foods on the planet, provide close to 20 essential health-boosting nutrients, including potassium, vitamin E, B vitamins, and folic acid.
- Relieving arthritic and rheumatic pain and inflammation
- Reducing cardiovascular disease risk
- Treating cold, cough, and congestion
- Preventing blood clotting in arteries
- Helping burn off calories
Sprouts, on the other hand, have higher vitamin content in the most absorbable form compared to their more mature versions. Alfalfa in particular contains vitamins A, B, C, D, E, F, and K.
Massive Scam Threatens Your Health — by Placing Toxic Chemicals on Land, Polluting Industries Are Allowed to Bypass Clean Air and Water Regulations
- Corruption and conflict of interest at the EPA has caused toxic industrial wastes to be stealthily concealed in the fertilizer applied to our farmlands, and sold to us in potting soil with biosolids
- While the EPA regulates toxic chemical emissions under the Clean Water Act and the Clean Air Act, when industry dumps waste into the local sewage treatment plant, those same chemicals become exempt from regulation
- Chemicals known to be problematic in part per billion or part per trillion levels in water and in air are concentrated millions of times higher in sewage sludge, which is applied to farmland and community areas
