Don’t Get Snookered Again

Don’t Get Snookered Again

R. Earl

Lake Wales

The former United Klans of America (UKA) Grand Dragon, John Paul Rogers, is once again, running for Seat 5 on the Lake Wales City Commission.

If you recall, Mr. Rogers ran for Mayor of Lake Wales last year and was defeated by an overwhelming 66% to 34%, a 2-1 margin, in a historical Lake Wales voting turn out record.  

Additionally, Mr. Rogers’s campaign manager, Booker Young, was accused of intimidating elderly voters living in public housing to vote for Rogers.  See links (http://www.wtsp.com/news/local/article/202134/8/Campaign-worker-for-former-klansman-accused-of-violating-Sunshine-Law--) and (http://www.wtsp.com/news/local/story.aspx?storyid=186906)

For those who maybe new to the Central Florida / Lake Wales area, one may not be aware that Mr. John Paul Rogers proudly proclaims he rose through the KKK and UKA ranks and held the Florida Grand Dragon office.

John Paul Rogers, at right in foreground, meets with other Ku Klux Klan members in this undated photo.   Rogers was a klan member for almost 25 years, including time as grand dragon of Florida

Wikipeda states that “…A "Grand Dragon", for example, was the highest ranking Klansman in a given state….”

Mr Rogers claims to have ‘retired’ from the UKA 25 years ago, (1986 / 1987 time frame) when the UKA was bankrupted when a federal jury awarded a $7 million judgment against the United Klans of America for the murder of Michael Donald, a black teenager beaten to death by Klan members and hanged from a tree in Mobile, Ala. 

The following are a few nationally known events in history that took place during Mr. Rogers affiliation with the KKK and UKA:

· The 1963 16th Street Bombing that killed 4 young girls  

· The 1965 murder of Viola Liuzzo, a white woman from the North, who had decided to go help support racial equality in the South. 

· During “…1960s, the Klans functioned as a clandestine movement that spearheaded the resistance to a national trend toward equality for all Americans. Like their predecessors, the `60s Klans employed terrorism and a form of guerrilla race warfare to carry out their purposes. The Klans and their allies were responsible for a major portion of the assaults, killings, bombings, floggings, and other acts of racial intimidation that swept the South in the first years of the 1960s..” 

Mr Rogers states that if by being against communism, against drugs, and in favor of States rights was wrong, then he was wrong.

However, Mr Rogers refusal to address the violent history of the UKA, an organization that he not only belonged but held its highest office, surmounts to nothing more but a strong tacit endorsement and support of the violent nature of the UKA and how it used violence to promote the UKA's goals and objectives.

In an article by By Susan Taylor Martin, Times Senior Correspondent, in Print: Sunday, September 6, 2009 in the St Petersburg Times “Lake Wales Commissioner has a history in klan” documented Mr. Roger’s extensive involvement in the KKK and the UKA.  See link http://www.tampabay.com/news/politics/local/article1033790.ece

Susan Taylor Martin mentioned in her article that:

'People got snookered'

In the '90s, Rogers ran unsuccessfully for secretary of state and the state House. More recently, he served on Lake Wales' zoning appeals board, positioning himself to run for City Commission on a platform of fiscal prudence.

Many newcomers were unaware of Rogers' klan history. He didn't mention it. And some of those who knew didn't bring it up because they never thought he would win.

"I went to a candidate forum and I feel I let myself down by not asking: Do you still have the same racist views? Will you tell the black community you're sorry?'' says Kay, the Jewish lawyer.

"But nobody raised that as a question. It's embarrassing to those of us who care that we didn't make it known.''

In regular balloting, Rogers' 179 votes put him third in a field of four. But he got 282 absentee votes — 43 percent of the total and far more than any other candidate. Word had it that he was helped by a black friend, 79-year-old Booker Young, who purportedly encouraged many elderly blacks to request absentee ballots and vote for Rogers.

"Half of them don't read or write that well,'' says Clinton Horne, a black community activist. "People got snookered.''

The Lake Wales City Election will be held on 3 April 2012 – consider your vote carefully and don’t get snookered again.

10 Poorest Cities in America

In case you haven’t seen this before, and I’ll bet these figures have dramatically increased since 2006.

VERY INTERESTING ALL THE WAY TO THE END.... 10 Poorest Cities in America and how did it happen City, State, % of People Below the Poverty Level 1. Detroit , MI 32.5% 2. Buffalo , NY 29.9% 3. Cincinnati , OH 27.8% 4. Cleveland , OH 27.0% 5. Miami , FL 26.9% 5. St. Louis , MO 26.8% 7. El Paso , TX 26.4% 8. Milwaukee , WI 26.2% 9. Philadelphia , PA 25.1% 10. Newark , NJ 24.2% U.S. Census Bureau, 2006 American Community Survey, August 2007 What do the top ten cities (over 250,000) with the highest poverty rate all have in common?   Detroit, MI (1st on the poverty rate list) hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1961 Buffalo, NY (2nd) hasn't elected one since 1954 Cincinnati, OH - (3rd).. since 1984 Cleveland, OH - (4th).. since 1989 Miami, FL - (5th) has never had a Republican mayor St. Louis, MO - (6th).. since 1949 El Paso, TX - (7th ) has never had a Republican mayor Milwaukee , WI - (8th).. since 1908 Philadelphia, PA - (9th).. since 1952 Newark, NJ - (10th)... since 1907. It is the poor who habitually elect Democrats yet they are still POOR.        "You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.       You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.       You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.       You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.       You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.       You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and independence.       You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves."

MSG-poison

I always thought I stayed away from MSG for allergies. Sure didn't know it is in all this stuff.  No wonder we gain weight and just "love" the coffee, low fat salad dressings, chips, even certain soups. TIMs say they don't add MSG but they don't mention "HYDROLIZED PROTEIN" do they?

YOU WILL BE SHOCKED when YOU read this article.

Here's an interesting article that warrants a read. We will be extra vigilant in checking labels from now on. The content of this article has links to substantiate its claims - Scary stuff!

-------
MSG (a slow poison)
The food additive MSG (Mono-Sodium Glutamate) is a slow poison. MSG hides behind 25 or more names, such as "Natural Flavoring." MSG is even in your favorite coffee from Tim Horton's and Starbucks coffee shops!

I wondered if there could be an actual chemical causing the massive obesity epidemic, and so did a friend of mine, John Erb. He was a research assistant at the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada and spent years working for the government. He made an amazing discovery while going through scientific journals for a book he was writing called ‘The Slow Poisoning of America’.

In hundreds of studies around the world, scientists were creating obese mice and rats to use in diet or diabetes test studies. No strain of rat or mice is naturally obese, so scientists have to create them. They make these creatures morbidly obese by injecting them with MSG when they are first born.

The MSG triples the amount of insulin the pancreas creates, causing rats (and perhaps humans) to become obese. They even have a name for the fat rodents they create: "MSG-Treated Rats.

When I heard this, I was shocked. I went into my kitchen and checked the cup-boards and the refrigerator. MSG was in everything -- the Campbell's soups, the Hostess Doritos, the Lays flavored potato chips, Top Ramen, Betty Crocker Hamburger Helper, Heinz canned gravy, Swanson frozen prepared meals and Kraft salad dressings, especially the "healthy low-fat" ones.

The items that didn't have MSG marked on the product label had something called "Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein", which is just another name for Monosodium Glutamate.

It was shocking to see just how many of the foods we feed our children everyday are filled with this stuff. MSG is hidden under many different names in order to fool those who read the ingredient list, so that they don't catch on. (Other names for MSG are "Accent, Ajinomoto," "Natural Meat Tenderizer," etc.)

But it didn't stop there.

When our family went out to eat, we started asking at the restaurants what menu items contained MSG. Many employees, even the managers, swore they didn't use MSG. But when we ask for the ingredient list, which they grudgingly provided, sure enough, MSG and Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein were everywhere.

Burger King, McDonald's, Wendy's, Taco Bell, every restaurant - even the sit-down eateries like TGIF, Chili's, Applebee's, and Denny's - use MSG in abundance. Kentucky Fried Chicken seemed to be the WORST offender: MSG was in every chicken dish, salad dressing and gravy. No wonder I loved to eat that coating on the skin - their secret spice was MSG!
So why is MSG in so many of the foods we eat: As a preservative, or a vitamin?

Not according to my friend John Erb. In his book The Slow Poisoning of America, he said that MSG is added to food for the addictive effect it has on the human body.

Even the propaganda website sponsored by the food manufacturers lobby group supporting MSG explains that the reason they add it to food is to make people eat more.

A study of the elderly showed that older people eat more of the foods that it is added to. The Glutamate Association lobbying group says eating more is a benefit to the elderly, but what does it do to the rest of us?

"Betcha can't eat [just] one," takes on a whole new meaning where MSG is concerned! And we wonder why the nation is overweight!

MSG manufacturers themselves admit that it addicts people to their products. It makes people choose their product over others, and makes people eat more of it than they would if MSG wasn't added.

Not only is MSG scientifically proven to cause obesity, it is an addictive substance. Since its introduction into the American food supply fifty years ago, MSG has been added in larger and larger doses to the pre-packaged meals, soups, snacks, and fast foods we are tempted to eat every day.

The FDA has set no limits on how much of it can be added to food.  They claim it's safe to eat in any amount. But how can they claim it's safe when there are hundreds of scientific studies with titles like these:

·      "The monosodium glutamate (MSG) obese rat as a model for the study of exercise in obesity".  Gobatto CA, Mello MA, Souza CT, Ribeiro IA, Res Commun Mol Pathol Pharmacol 2002.

·     
"Adrenalectomy abolishes the food-induced hypothalamic serotonin release in both normal and monosodium glutamate-obese rats." Guimaraes RB, Telles MM, Coelho VB, Mori C, Nascimento CM, Ribeiro. Brain Res Bull. 2002 Aug.

·      'Obesity induced by neonatal monosodium glutamate treatment in spontaneously hypertensive rats: An animal model of multiple risk factors." Iwase M, Yamamoto M, Iino K, Ichikawa K, Shinohara N, Yoshinari Fujishima. AHypertens Res. 1998 Mar."usunoki. Exp Neurol. 1978 Hypothalamic lesion induced by injection of monosodium glutamate in suckling period and subsequent development of obesity." Tanaka K, Shimada M, Nakao. Oct 1978.

No, the date of that last study was not a typo; it was published in 1978. Both the "medical research community" and "food manufacturers" have known about the side effects of MSG for decades.

Many more of the studies mentioned in John Erb's book link MSG to diabetes, migraines and headaches, autism, ADHD, and even Alzheimer's.

So what can we do to stop the food manufactures from dumping this fattening and addictive MSG into our food supply and causing the obesity epidemic we now see?

Several months ago, John Erb took his book and his concerns to one of the highest government health officials in Canada. While he was sitting in the government office, the official told him, "Sure, I know how bad MSG is.

I wouldn't touch the stuff.." But this top-level government official refuses to tell the public what he knows..

The big media doesn't want to tell the public either, fearing issues with their advertisers. It seems that the fallout on the fast food industry may hurt their profit margin. The food producers and restaurants have been addicting us to their products for years, and now we are paying the price for it. Our children should not be cursed with obesity caused by an addictive food additive.

But what can I do about it? I'm just one voice!  What can I do to stop the poisoning of our children, while our governments are insuring financial protection for the industry that is poisoning us?

This message is going out to everyone I know in an attempt to tell you the truth that the corporate-owned politicians and media won't tell you.

The best way you can help to save yourself and your children from this drug-induced epidemic is to forward this article to everyone.  With any luck, it will circle the globe before politicians can pass the legislation protecting those who are poisoning us.

The food industry learned a lot from the tobacco industry.  Imagine if big tobacco had a bill like this in place before someone blew the whistle on nicotine?

If you are one of the few who can still believe that MSG is good for us and you don't believe what John Erb has to say, see for yourself. Go to the National Library of Medicine at *www.pubmed.com* <http://www.pubmed.com/>*. Type in the words "MSG Obese" and read a few of the 115 medical studies that appear.

Congresswoman makes a huge slip!

 

Congresswoman makes a huge slip!  WOW, very short clip but you have to hear this! Pass this around if your friends & family have not seen this yet. This clip is showing Congresswoman Maxine Waters discussing drilling for new oil reserves. She explains, in a slip of the tongue, what this whole thing is all about. 

Whoops!  This Liberal let it all slip out!...Notice the reaction of the people around her. 

What she said   accidentally  reflected the Liberal's agenda.... and when she realized what she revealed to the public and the news media, it stopped her dead in her own tracks for a long moment. BUT, it was too late. 

Just hope the country wakes up in the 2012 elections!!!... She leaked out Obama's scary agenda. I don't think it is possible for Too Many Americans to see this video, and I hope you feel the same way. Just look where we are at NOW!
