Publisher’s Preface
Greetings! The following presentation is volume eighteen of a 36-volume production of some 6,000 pages on “Ezekiel and YHWH’s Judgment for the Good News People,” all of which is on the Internet at the www.AgeEnd.com web site.
This overall effort provides an interpretation of the Good News message in the New Testament, its linkage to the book of Ezekiel, and an application of both to the age-end prophecies relating to certain nations and peoples now out in the world. In order for this single volume to be understood and comprehended, it is imperative that the study be read from its beginning--from page one of volume one.
Anyone trying to read this volume or the study’s 6,000 pages at any mid-point will end up in a state of confusion without having read and digested the preceding material. It is crucially important that this work be read in sequence from its beginning--otherwise, the reader will almost certainly end up missing the essence of the message!
The effort was originally set on a Macintosh computer with Microsoft Word 6.0.1. It was set in Helvetica, 12-point type (18 pt on chapter headings); single line spacings; and margins: left 1.2”, right 0.8”, top 0.7”, bottom 0.8” and footer 0.6” (for page numbers).
For further information on obtaining this study in 18 computer floppy disks (IBM-formatted, high density, 2HD, 1.44 MB, 3 1/2 inches); in a single CD-Rom; or in hard copies (when the Internet or a compatible computer is not available); please write the publisher at the above address and send a stamped, self-addressed, long (legal-size), return envelope.
With a CD-Rom or computer floppy disks, the study is readable on Macintosh (systems 5.0 and later) or IBM/compatible (with Microsoft Word-Windows) personal computers. May The Great CREATOR and SOVEREIGN OF THE UNIVERSE bless you as you study His word to learn His will and to obey Him. Shalom (peace) to you and yours!

Chapter 264--Sun Worship Pollution
Cancer
One of the things which American people have been throwing billions of dollars at annually for quite some time now has been cancer. While some of this money is spent on medical care of persons with cancer, and/or cancer health insurance, much of it is also spent by the various governments (from taxation or money printing) for health care of the (cancerous) poor and aged and cancer research.
For about 30 years now, the US and other governments have had a so-called war on cancer (plus a war on drugs, as discussed previously). Like the war on drugs, the war on cancer is not really meant to accomplish anything.
The war on cancer is a scheme designed to pacify the gullible public, and make them think that the politicians and ruling fat cats really care about the people; when, in fact, they don’t care. They want the status quo to continue because they are making gobs of money off of the present situation.
In an article on “Life--the Missing Link,” in the Winter-Spring 98 “Back to the Garden” magazine (p. 6), the previously quoted Dr George H. Malkmus estimated an expenditure of over $1 trillion annually by Americans for health care because of cancer, diabetes and other health problems. Obviously, cancer and other degenerative problems cost big bucks in the US and worldwide as well.
A front page headline in the May 29, 1997, “USA Today” said the US government’s program of a war on cancer was “a bust” after spending $30 billion of the taxpayer’s money.
Yes, cancer deaths keep climbing. The “Information Please Almanac,” 1990 to 1997, put the annual death rate, per 100,000 people at 67.7 in 1900, 86.9 in 1920, 123.1 in 1940, 182.5 in 1980, 203.2 in 1990 and 206.0 in 1993.
A March 13, 1998, news report did try to claim that deaths had leveled off or went down slightly in recent years. But this report remains very questionable for a number of reasons. A lot depends on what study was involved and how extensive it was in terms of its population.
As a minimum, many of the reports coming from the former Clinton administration were nothing but twisted lies and distortions--so one must be careful about accepting news coming out of Washington or even from the controlled national media (the same is just as true today with the Bush administration).
Cancer is now the number one killer of children and the adult death rate has been doubling every four years (per Dr C. Samuel West, “Spotlight,” Jan 15, 1996). It now accounts for 20% of all deaths worldwide. Per the just mentioned “USA Today” article, cancer (if not AIDS) soon will be the number one cause of death.
The Unknown Cause
In this publicized war on cancer, the first problem the “approved” medical establishment has faced was ostensibly one of finding out what causes cancer (although a news report on Jan 13, 2000, noted that one-third of cancer cases is caused by diet).
After 30 years and hundreds of billions of dollars being spent by governments and private people, the answer is that the “approved” medical establishment still doesn’t know for sure what causes cancer or even how to properly treat it, beyond the establishment-approved, traditional, unscriptural drugs, radiation and surgery methods.
Contrary to the prevailing confusion and uncertainty in the “approved” medical science field, a number of nutritionists, alternative health care specialists and persons who read and believe the Scriptures have come up with an abundance of evidence that the ingestion (through breathing, eating, drinking, touching, feeling, etc) of pollutants and poisons is the primary cause of cancer (secondary causes--stress, infections, accidents and genetics to some extent).
Yes, cancer can be caused from breathing polluted air (like smog, poisons in tobacco smoke, asbestos fibers, etc), eating of poisoned foods (like those with DES, sodium nitrite, pesticides, numerous preservatives, dyes, enhancers, additives, etc), drinking of water (with chlorine, fluoride, chemical poisons from water run off and seepage, etc) touching (certain dyed clothes, etc) or being near poisonous sources.
The problem of very dangerous and deadly poisons is enormous and often people are simply unaware of the dangers. For example, a recent news report said that scientific studies have suggested that two of the chemicals used in the most popular sun-screens (titanium dioxide and zinc oxide) may break DNA strands--if they penetrate the skin’s outer layer (Nov-Dec 2000 “Dispatch from Jerusalem,” p. 7).
Electro-Magnetic Energy Sources
The just mentioned matter of being in the proximity of poisonous sources opens up a massive can of worms here in the early 21st century. Since WWII, electric power lines have literally appeared all over the globe. People live near them and they have long been suspected of causing cancer, besides emotional and mental problems.
The last thirty years have seen a turn to cellular phones, computer terminals and various microwave, electro-magnetic and wireless communication systems--all over the world. To this list, one must add in radio, television, radar and so forth which go even further back. It seems that man has jumped into this thing massively without the foggiest notion of what these sophisticated electronic-magnetic devices may mean.
Not only do these electronic sources themselves adversely affect humans, but a frightening story has come out of Japan which should really upset people. The May 10, 2002, “The Week” (p. 19) says that studies have shown that the use of cell phones in closed compartment trains affects both the users and the innocent by-standers (sort of like second hand smoke that bothers even non-smokers).
This report said that 30 cell phone users in a carload of 150 passengers generated dangerously high levels of electromagnetic radiation because the radiation emitted by the phones had no place to go but to just bounce around in the compartment.
The Art Bell Dreamland program for Jan 30, 2000, had a medical doctor on who asserted that the link between these various communication systems and cancer is now firmly established. People using cell phones extensively find that they not only have memory problems, but often brain tumors and other neuro problems as well.
The Effect?
What these massive microwave and low radio frequency devices (which must include HAARP [to be described in a later chapter], although HAARP was not cited by the doctor on the Art Bell program) are doing to nature and the environment is still unknown. Certainly, schools and groups of porpoises, dolphins and other mammals, birds and fish using sound communications are going crazy and dying.
Whales are beaching themselves increasingly, penguins are mixed up, frogs are vanishing all over the world in droves, and sharks are coming into coastal waters and attacking humans in those waters near the shoreline (as happened several times in Aug and early Sep 2001, with swimmers in waters off of Florida, Virginia and North Carolina).
Is there a cause and effect relationship between all of these problems in nature and man’s increasing use of electro-magnetic systems in the last 30 years? Anyway, enough is known to make a person realize that he should stay away from these electrical sources as much as possible. They are dangerous to even be around.
Dr Nick Begich
Incidentally, on the subject of whales beaching themselves, there seems to be some evidence which does suggest the reason or cause behind some of the beachings (not all of them, but some or many of them). For example, some whales, other marine animals and fish are diseased in some manner, suggesting environmental pollution.
Otherwise, Dr Nick Begich had some interesting reports on scientific efforts to disrupt nature on the Coast to Coast AM radio program on Jan 6, 2001. He discussed the present efforts of the US government (principally the US Navy) and other nations to conduct sonar experiments in the oceans.
Begich says sonar sound waves are stronger and more powerful under water. They seem to have an enormous impact upon water mammals, fish and so forth. He says that whales nearby or even at some distance away can be injured by these sonar experiments. The ears of whales can be punctured/shattered--which causes them to beach themselves.
Obviously, other experiments can damage or upset the sonar and positioning and directional finding capabilities of water life. Thus, whales (though otherwise healthy) can get all mixed up and beach themselves in confusion. Begich brought up the realties of HAARP, which also could be playing a role in all forms of wildlife (including whales), as well as domesticated animals and people. HAARP will be assessed later.
Dr Begich adds that the US government is spending huge sums of money on these underwater experiments going on in many oceans/seas around the world (apparently much of it in the form of black, classified projects). He questions the value and purpose of many of these “scientific” efforts.
More on Frogs
The steady, slow, persistent disappearance of frogs was in the limelight in a news report on “Is it the water?” in the April 29, 2002, “U.S. News & World Report” (p. 63). Per this story, the last decade saw more than 200 species of frogs decline and some 20 species are now thought to have gone extinct. The question must be why on this enormous loss of frogs?
The USNWR noted a recent study of the nation’s most popular agricultural weed-killer atrazine. Each year, some 76 million pounds of atrazine are sprayed upon corn and sorghum. Much of it ends up in the water run off.
In laboratory experiments at the University of California (Berkeley), endocrinologist Tyrone Hayes found that just 0.1 part per billion of this stuff can hamper male frogs’ sexual development, even turning them into hermaphrodites. As it turns out, this study was produced just as the EPA has been assessing safe atrazine levels for so-called human beings.
The 0.1 part per billion is just a thirtieth of the EPA standard for human drinking water. This means that so-called human beings are consuming far more of atrazine than what interferes in the development of frogs. Obviously, this whole subject is important both for the future of frogs as well as that of humans/humanoids. Thus, is it possible that this one weed-killer has had a role to play in the wiping out of frogs?
More on Water
Thus, how about the water man drinks in today’s modern culture? Is it safe and good for human consumption? Or alternatively, is it possible that there are serious problems in today’s modern drinking water which the establishment leaders and scientists simply have overlooked?
The need for clean water has been assessed in a prior chapter on health. There is no need to repeat those comments on need. However, the point here concerns whether the available drinking water is clean and adequate for human consumption or does it have problems? As noted earlier, it does have problems!
What a tragedy it is that The HIGHEST made an abundant source of good, clean, wonderful water for humans to drink with friendly beneficial bacteria and minerals and particularly as found in the underground water supply, springs and even many flowing water ways. Today, man has polluted all these sources to various degrees.
Because most of the common water supply is totally polluted with unfriendly bacteria (from sewage and septic tank discharges), man has to treat the water with chlorine before it can be drunk. Of course, chlorine is a poison which not only kills the friendly and unfriendly bacteria, but also begins a process of killing its human consumers (slowly over time).
Chlorinated tap water is generally bad for consumption. It is ultimately a killer to whomsoever is dumb enough to drink it. Yes, chlorine is a chemical poison which causes miscarriages, bladder cancer and other diseases. Over time, it does kill for sure.
People alive in this present warped society should go the extra mile and consume pure water without these added chemical poisons. Distilled water is safe and the better option (and purified water next). Some clean rain and spring water (from a controlled and safe source) is probably best, if available.
Not content with selling chlorine poison to water companies, the fat cats who rule the world figured out years ago that they could also sell fluoride (also a poison) to water suppliers, as well, on the premise that fluoride helps to prevent tooth decay. And why do modern people have such a problem with tooth decay? Well, the answer is simply too much consumption of poisonous, processed, unnatural foods and sugar.
So both poisons are added to the water most persons drink and then the people never understand why they have cancer and other diseases. Only a fool drinks the public’s water supplies. Yet, the entire, Western, Christian, sun worship culture drinks it and never whimpers or never seems to mind or question why.
More Really Bad Stuff
Beyond the chlorine and fluoride poison additions, the truth is that much of the chemicals and other poisons that men use in today’s culture eventually runs off into the various sewage and septic tank systems to pollute the underground water table; and of course, the rivers, creeks and streams which flow nearby.
Many of the bathroom, clothing and dish cleaning items are deadly poisons. You think not? Take a few minutes and read the labels on your friendly detergent, soap, disinfectant and plumber helper products. Almost without exception, the labels warn about getting this stuff in one’s eyes, breathing it or coming into other close contact with it.
Why? Because these products are typically deadly chemical poisons. They kill! So, where does all of this stuff run off when one uses it in his or her happy kitchen sink, bathroom and toilet bowl? Yes, these poisons flow to the septic tanks and sewage systems to run right back into the person’s own water supplies for drinking purposes (after being diluted with sewage water).
Obviously, as these poisons seep into the ground from septic tanks, they eventually seep to the underground water table, although some of them are filtered out in the rock and soil layers.
For people hooked up to a public/municipal sewage system, the poisons flow into that system (typically for treatment of the sewage bacteria, but not really for the removal of the inorganic poisons) to find their way eventually to the rivers and streams where people also drink from.
A Tragic Report
A Jan 2, 2002, news report classically demonstrates how far the modern madness has extended in man’s continuing efforts to pollute his drinking water. The story concerns a recent discovery that there is now a huge adverse fall-out from the gross use and presence of modern pharmaceutical drugs (which are mostly poisons, as discussed in previous remarks).
The problem arises when the average John and Mary Doe citizens end up with some of these poisonous pills which were left over after an illness or need and not taken. While it is true that some persons will hang onto these old drugs and pills for a while to see if the illness or problem returns, eventually most all people with these poisons end up disposing of the left over drugs.
Too often, people throw these left-overs into their commodes to be flushed down the toilet drain. Once in water, these pills dissolve; and of course, are passed back to the water supply to eventually be drunk by the public. As is a well known fact of life, water treatment plants simply do not filter out all of the inorganic materials present in water. Much of this stuff stays in the water to be later consumed by people.
Anyway, scientists are discovering fish that have been poisoned or affected by pharmaceutical drugs. For example, birth control pills are popular right now and many of the left-overs are tossed into the nation’s water supply.
The residuals from these pills are affecting the reproduction capabilities of fish. Of course, the poisons are both affecting and killing fish.
The US Geological Survey
A later news report on March 12, 2002, added that recent samplings of water by the US Geological Survey from a large number of rivers and streams in America (140 waterways in thirty states) now show the extensive presence of these medicines and drugs.
The March 25, 2002, “Time” magazine (p. 59) presented the details of this US Geological Survey. Some 95 chemicals were tracked. Some 74% of the samples made showed insect repellents, 70% contained caffeine, 48% had antibiotics present, 40% produced reproductive hormones, 32% contained prescription drugs, and 27% had fragrances.
The chemicals (generally poisons) are known to come from farms and factories, as well as toilets, sinks and medicine chests. Environmentalists fear that even trace amounts of some pollutants might increase resistance to antibiotics, disrupt reproductive cycles or act as carcinogens. Scientists concluded that they don’t know enough about the problem to predict what the dangers could be down the road.
While many cities have sewage treatment plants that treat much of the human fecal matter and waste, the fact remains that most of the poisons are never removed from the water (as outlined above). This water eventually returns to some human water supply (like rivers, streams, lakes, etc) to be drunk again and again by humans/humanoids.
Some water supplies downstream on large rivers provide water that has already been urinated and used several times upstream by various users. Here, one might note such popular cities as St. Louis, New Orleans, Memphis, etc. Their drinking water was once sewage and poisonous waste of other cities and towns up river.
In any case, the dilemma over the drinking water is not just an isolated problem. Instead, it is pandemic in scope and potential.
So, if these poisons are present in some quantity and if they are persistent and leave a residual in the water to be eventually consumed by the public at large, what will be the impact of these residuals when they reach unsuspecting people who are foolish enough to drink the usual tap water found in society? What will these poisons do to people when ingested?
Antifreeze
Please consider the case of deadly automobile antifreeze. This stuff is a terrible poison. Again, read the labels if the reader doubts it.
The toxicity of antifreeze was illustrated in news reports in early July 2002 which said that a prankster in the Spokane, Washington area had fed some neighborhood cats tuna fish, laced with antifreeze. The cats were killed and the cat owners were much upset and pushed for the boy to be prosecuted at law for a criminal act.
Although some used antifreeze is now recycled, much of it in the public arena still runs off to the various septic tanks, sewage systems and water run-off actions to pollute the public’s water supplies.
Even many city and state highway departments spray antifreeze on highways whenever there is a layer of ice on them. Of course, this stuff runs off to pollute the public’s water sources. But the brilliant people who sell and use this stuff will explain how it helps automobiles, trucks and other traffic move more safely on the streets and highways during bad weather.
The Current Crisis
How bad is the water problem? The December 6, 1999, “US News & World Report” (p. 86) had a story by Amanda Spake on “With a splash of VOCs” which addressed the issue.
Spake says that a report from the US Geological Survey, just released in 1999 (that was earlier and different from the March 2002 US Geological Survey sampling discussed above), found that 47% of urban wells contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are a class of toxic chemicals found in gasoline, paints and plastics and used in industry.
In rural areas, some 14% of wells had the same findings. The USGS estimated that some 42 million people are drinking these chemical poisons daily. Even small amounts of these VOCs are considered important environmental contaminants because many are water soluble and persist in the environment.
The EPA’s Assistant Administrator, J. Charles Fox, said that the health related problems are chronic and that over the life of a person, ingestion of them causes cancer, reproductive problems, developmental effects and so forth.
The most detectable poison was chloroform, a carcinogen. It is a byproduct of the disinfecting of water drawn from rivers and reservoirs for tap water (which means that people drinking city tap water must be getting some of it routinely). However, the fact that it is found in wells means that it is seeping into ground water from lawn irrigation, leaking water mains and sewers.
The next most common chemical found was MTBE, an additive put into gasoline. It will be addressed in subsequent commentary herein.
A distribution map of the chemical concentrations was published by USNWR with the story. As could be expected, urban areas and particularly those East of the Mississippi have a much heavier presence of the problem.
However, it was also interesting that some strange places like the Snake River valley in Southern Idaho also demonstrated some serious problems. Why the significant presence along the Snake? The answer is that this area is a farm producing zone which uses irrigation water. Obviously, these irrigation waters are picking up pesticides and farm chemicals and seeping them into the ground water sources.
More Chemical Poisons
Of course, there are all kinds of chemical land fills, dumps and run offs where various waste chemical products end up. Quite naturally, they pollute the underground water table and nearby streams and rivers. This condition is often hid from the public. But it is present in the real world of reality.
People stupidly believe that by using chlorine poisons to kill the live bacteria in water that the water becomes clean and pure all of a sudden.
This rank confusion and ignorance never addresses some of the other profound problems in modern drinking water--like the inorganic chemicals and poisons present which in small amounts do not immediately kill. But over the years, they add up to eventually bring sickness and death.
A good illustration of how easy it is to pollute the underground water table was covered in an Associated Press report from Grandview, WA on about Dec 5, 1998. It seems that years ago a farm near Grandview was used to store farm chemicals, including deadly “Dinoseb,” an herbicide, which was eventually banned.
Other than unloading these poisons, storing them and loading them out to buyers in supposedly sealed containers, there was no other exposures of these poisons at the site.
Despite this alleged limited presence, the poisons nevertheless leaked from the containers or were otherwise spilled in transferring them to various containers. They completely polluted the area’s nearby soil and underground water table.
In this Grandview case, the poisons there were in containers and were not being used on farm crops and along road ways, as are the normal practices. If the few minor leaks at the site were sufficient to poison the nearby land and the underground water table, is it not manifest that the actual spraying and using of these products could similarly cause an ecological disaster over time?
In a follow-up case of the poisoning of the land, the Sep 14, 2002, “Spokane Spokesman-Review” (p. B4) had an AP story from Wenatchee, Washington on the recent discovery of high levels of lead and arsenic poisoning found at 15 school playgrounds in that area.
The source of the contamination was not immediately identified, but a combination of lead and arsenic was once used in the area to control codling moths in the apple orchards.
DOD
In early 2000, the US Defense Department (DOD) found that it had a large amount of excess or obsolete chemical warfare waste products to dispose of permanently. The brilliant scientists conceived and DOD executed a plan to place (pour?) these highly poisonous chemical wastes into deep underground wells in the Denver, CO area.
What will be the outcome of this insanity? No one knows for sure. But DOD officials were able to momentarily get rid of a lot of these poisonous chemicals which would have cost them a lot of money to otherwise dispose of.
In June 2000, there was a number of mysterious small earthquakes and tremors in the Denver area. So some geologists speculated that they may have been produced by the chemical dump into the deep water table.
Perhaps soon, other Americans will drink some of these poisons as they travel in other directions from the dump sites (there are underground rivers which move water about). This has been one of the problems from radioactive material in the underground test sites in Nevada. The radiation can disperse into underground water.
Chapter 265--Pollution is Everywhere
Modern Poisons Abound
The short of the preceding chapter is that the environment one lives in today is full of thousands of man-made, poisonous chemicals which are in the food eaten, water drunk, air breathed and so forth.
The Feb 1, 2003, Spokane “Spokesman-Review” (p. A3) had a Knight Ridder story by Wendy Wendland-Bowyer on “Toxic chemicals found in Americans” which reported on a recent study on chemicals by the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC). The study involved 2,500 Americans in the years 1999-2000.
The CDC measured the presence of 116 chemicals in the blood and urine samples of the people in the study. Nearly all of the 116 chemicals have been found to be toxic in animal studies, but little is known about their impact on so-called human beings.
Humans/humanoids absorb the chemicals from such common things as phthalates (a softening substance added to many produces--including food), teething rings, shampoo, plastic bags, nail polish and vinyl tubing. Phthalates have been found to cause reproductive problems in animals. Lead poisoning in people remains a problem, but it was down from prior years.
Inevitably, all of us ingest this stuff. While much of it may not cause an immediate cancer and death, it does build up (accumulate) and will cause eventual death (as asbestos does some 40 years later after exposure)--if the person does not die sooner from something else.
Surely, individuals with brain power above the moron and imbecile levels should be able to wake up and realize that if pesticide poisons kill bugs and insects and if rat poison kills rats and mice, rest assured that these very same chemical poisons will kill people if ingested (immediately, if the dose is big enough; or over time, if the dose is smaller but accumulating).
Previous chapters and comments now made have outlined the enormous problems of chemicals impacting upon human health; and indeed, in causing cancer in modern people.
But it is not only cancer which surfaces from ingesting chemical poisons. There are all kinds of other diseases and health problems arising from the ingestion of such poisons.
More on Plastics
Since the introduction of plastics, following WWII, the modern society has been completely flooded with them (as noted above and elsewhere herein). Almost all facets of modern living is influenced and affected in some manner by plastics.
Perhaps the biggest tragedy about this phenomenal explosion in technology is that the production of plastics has occurred in a blind vacuum where the overall society has no concept at all about the health aspects of the various plastics in use. While maybe some of them are harmless (“maybe?”), there has to be questions about the others.
And from time to time, a report does surface either questioning or accusing some chemicals in plastics of causing health problems in humans or animals. Perhaps one of the best illustrations of this occurred in an Apr 1, 2003, story in the Spokane “Spokesman-Review” (p. A2) entitled “Plastic linked to miscarriages, Down syndrome.”
This report, from the “Los Angeles Times,” concerned a new study which showed that a chemical widely found in food packaging and other plastics may cause severe defects in embryos, and at levels people are commonly exposed to. The concern was over bisphenol A (BPA) which is used in the manufacture of hard plastics. BPA can leach from plastic baby bottles and cookware as they age.
The study said that when a cell is exposed to BPA, “it looks like someone shot the chromosomes with a shotgun.” They are totally disorganized. It means a death sentence to developing embryos.
Parkinson’s?
The Dec 2000 “Internet Vortex” (p. 30) had an article on “Parkinson’s Linked to Pesticide” which zeroed in on the pesticide dilemma. Many persons are aware that there has been an enormous explosion up in Parkinson’s disease in the last 60 years.
Parkinson’s disease is a neurological ailment that is caused by the death of brain cells that produce the neurotransmitter dopamine. It results in tremors, muscle stiffness, impaired balance, shaking and possible eventual incapacity. Per Vortex, it now affects one in one hundred people over age 65.
But the modern tragedy about this disease is that so-called science has been unable to precisely define the cause of the disease. However, Vortex quoted a recent Reuters report which suggested that it could be traceable to certain pesticides.
The pesticide “rotenone” is a widely used product in gardening. It has been found in laboratory experiments that injections of rotenone into rats give them symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. Could there be a link? Well, that question is still unanswered by modern “science.” But this report could open the door to the possible role of other chemical poisons, beyond rotenone, in causing Parkinson’s.
Laura Lee
Moreover, take the case of chemical poisons (pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers, etc), all of which poison the soil, sterilize and kill worms and friendly bacteria (which help plants to grow); and produce agricultural products (which are nutritionally inferior), and plants that are so sick that they attract all kinds of predator insects (as will be discussed below).
Bugs and insects have always been a threat in the traditional sun worship farming culture and particularly in the modern mono-agriculture situations where vast fields are planted with one item (nature’s way is having several different items spread out in one field--Isa 28:23-27, per “J. B. Phillips Translation”). It’s too bad that Christian sun worshippers never read or heed the Tanakh messages.
Beyond these obvious problems surfacing in mono-agriculture practices, there is another more subtle and discreet feature which is largely unknown and unrecognized by the traditional, Christian, sun worship civilization.
Strangely enough, plants, like so-called human beings, radiate a field of electromagnetic energy--plus other scents, smells and stimuli which are read and reacted to by bugs and insects (per a discussion by a guest on the Laura Lee radio talk show program of Aug 28, 1999). If a plant is sick or weak, nature’s program is to have bugs attack it and destroy it.
Although not elaborated upon by this agriculture expert on the Laura Lee program, it seems to also be true that the same reasoning applies to so-called human beings and their attractiveness or hostility to mosquitoes and other insect pests. Various bugs have a job to do in nature.
Some attack sick or weak humans and animals just as others attack sick and weak plants. People who are subject to mosquito assaults, seemingly have health, diet or metabolism problems which are attracting the mosquitoes. Truly, mosquitoes don’t seem to particularly bother healthy humans or animals.
This same condition applies in the animal kingdom where certain wild animals prey upon, kill and eat other animals. The first target of a predator animal (a lion, tiger, cougar, wolf or whatever) is a sick or weak animal that cannot get away or protect itself. That’s the way nature works, whether we understand it or not.
Healthy Soil is Needed
Obviously, the key to having healthy plants and vegetation (which will not be susceptible to predator bugs and insects) is to have healthy soil that grows and produces healthy plants (which by the way are extremely nutritional, rich in vitamins and minerals, and good and tasty for human consumption).
However, in the Christian, sun worship West, money, profits and greed have always been the order of the day. Farmers are just not concerned about practicing organic gardening with its labor intensive feature to build up the soil with good, beneficial worms and soil bacteria (all of which contribute to healthy soil--worms, for example, irradiate the soil in order to help plants grow).
Now that corporate farming has taken over American agriculture, one can be sure that a large corporation (essentially owned and controlled by fat cat, Amalekite bankers on Wall Street) are manifestly unconcerned about healthy plants, soil or people. They have their hearts and minds set upon one thing and one thing only--profits, to satisfy their inordinate greed, get and acquire.
The surfacing of chemical poisons after WWII (in the form of pesticides, herbicides and chemical fertilizers) was exactly what greedy producers needed in order to deal with the labor intensive and expensive features of organic gardening.
Because federal laws have produced a welfare state (where people won’t work and the minimum wage and other taxes are all so high), it is not very profitable to try to hire workers; when alternatively, a producer can buy a pesticide poison for pennies on the dollar, as compared with hiring workers.
These corporate producers could care less about the land and the question of sin (which will be addressed in later chapters). All they want are profits right now. And since the gullible, sun worshipping public has been willing to buy and eat poisoned and nutritionally deficient vegetables and hormone injected meats, who cares.
Pesticide Poisons Are Persistent
Incidentally, the use of pesticide poisons acts to damage or destroy the soil--at least, for many years, before intensive soil rebuilding campaigns can take hold to rejuvenate the damaged soil. The Oct 30, 2000, “Spotlight” (p. B-15) had an article on “Banned Pesticide Showing Up in U.S. Vegetables” which illustrated the problem.
This “Spotlight” story focused upon the insecticide chlordane, a carcinogen (which was banned by the EPA in 1988). In 2000 (and probably in 2001-2003 as well), vegetables grown in the US were still being sold in food markets with this banned pesticide (per a then study made by the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station).
The dilemma is that residues of the pesticide are still in the soil (where they once were used) and they are still being absorbed by growing plants.
What this means is that even when one buys so-called organic vegetables and fruits, he might be buying products which contain pesticide poisons once used in former years on the soil. There simply is no easy way of getting rid of the soil contamination. It will persist for years!
Chemicals Are Bad
“Spotlight” (p. B16) had a perceptive article on “Chemical Avalanche Affecting Behavior” by Don Harkins in its Oct 25, 1999, issue. Harkins reported upon the work of Dr Zane Gard and others who have amassed evidence that the growing presence in crime, violence, child abuse, social and psychic problems, etc are being exacerbated by man-made poisons which are accumulating in our bodies.
Specifically, the scientists suggest that the evidence is that our present sociological miseries are the result of a populace which has been rendered toxic from its exposure to thousands of chemicals. As Harkins notes--the last four American generations have willingly accepted the idea of “Better Living Through Chemicals.”
Harkins also quoted Dr James P. Carter, who said that there has been a ten fold increase in the use of pesticides on farmland in the last 30 years. Yet, the average annual crop losses have remained constant and the specific losses to insects have actually doubled. In other words, the pesticides have provided no help, but only hurt (although they are a lot cheaper than labor intensive organic gardening--ed).
In 1981, there were 70,000 chemicals in production; 3,000 were being intentionally added to our food while 700 were to be found in municipal water supplies. Food and food storage processing units were using 10,000 other chemical compounds which could lessen the nutritional value of the food. Gard wrote that the result has been a chemical avalanche in a very short period of time.
Gard concluded that everyone (each person) has a specific level of tolerance to these chemicals which must not be exceeded in order to maintain health.
As a sidelight, Gard lived in Sturgeon, Missouri in 1980 when the town was exposed to a spill of the deadly pesticide Dioxin from two tankers. Dioxin, made by Monsanto, is extremely poisonous and cancer causing. Some outright deaths and much sickness (tumors, cancers, psychological disorders and other serious problems) have been attributed to the Sturgeon spill.
Rockefeller Profits!
Back in the 19th century, old John D. Rockefeller discovered the huge profits and gains to be made from petroleum. Early on, he produced and sold oil products as salves (the early Vaselines and petroleum jellies) and medicines for internal consumption.
Surely, many of the traveling medicine shows and con artists were handling Rockefeller’s poisons.
How many people drank or consumed some of this Rockefeller stuff to cause eventual sickness and/or cancer? But money (profits) is the name of the game and Rocky was out to make money and not for the obedience of YAH’s laws. He could have cared less who all might die from his profit making schemes.
One must remember that in any assessment of pollution and environmental degradation, profits and the making of money are typically behind the efforts. In the Western Christian culture and civilization, the making of profits and gain completely dominates all aspects of human undertakings.
The Petro-Chemical Poisons
The petroleum and chemical industries (as promoted by the Rockefellers) have combined in the 20th century to produce a vast array of very poisonous chemicals (especially the pesticide, herbicide and fertilizer poisons) which kill and destroy all kinds of life forms and indeed the planet itself.
The problem with petroleum poisons is far more involved than anyone could have imagined a hundred years ago as the automotive and petroleum industries began developing. “Spotlight” of Apr 12, 1999, had a report on “Toxic Chemicals in Drinking Water” which offered some recent findings which are quite terrifying.
“Spotlight” noted that the gasoline industry started using the poisonous methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE, mentioned in the prior chapter) in the 1980s as an additive to gasoline to supposedly improve the quality of the emissions into the air. MTBE is a deadly toxic carcinogen.
So the years passed. Then, a startling discovery was made. Cancer causing MTBE was polluting America’s drinking water across the nation.
Leakage of the chemical reportedly hit crisis levels in California, contaminating over 10,000 water sites--including wells, underground reservoirs, lakes and streams. All 50 states now have MTBE water problems (with a crisis level in 22 states). Clearly, the poison became a part of America’s drinking water.
Thus, after using MTBE for 20 years in a state of ignorance, the government ordered it withdrawn on March 20, 2000.
So while the industry and her government regulators came up with this MTBE poison (evidently, from the Rockefeller controlled petrochemical industry) to ostensibly decrease air pollution, water pollution was the result. Which is more dangerous--breathing the poisoned air or drinking the poisoned water?
In any case, many Americans were poisoned and will die from it, simply because man does things in ignorance. Man likes to jump in and do things--without having the foggiest notion of what his actions will have later upon life and the environment.
The Agra-Chemical Business
The petro-chemical agriculture business phenomenon developed since WWII all over the world. Most farmers are hooked on it (and especially the giant multi-national corporations which own the bulk of the land and produce most of the agriculture products).
People are regularly told that these poisons are necessary in order to produce food. Actually, before WWII, almost all farming was organic which can be and is done in limited ways even today.
But as in the noted above presentations, organic farming is labor intensive. In the US, the government has passed so many tax, minimum wage and welfare schemes that it is extremely difficult to obtain and pay for workers (plus the fact that Americans generally won’t do any hard work at all, as elsewhere described herein).
Yet, chemical poisons are readily available at substantially lower costs which produce poisoned and nutritionally inferior products, but products which the ignorant, sun worship public will buy and pay for. And money (profits) is the name of the game in the historic sun worship culture.
Danger
There was a day (for most all of the 5,950 years before WWII) when working in a garden or on a farm was an honorable, good undertaking. A person would get exercise and clean air and stood to serve himself and/or others (by producing organic food products).
But those days have changed dramatically since WWII. Now, working with farm products can be one of the most dangerous of occupations.
Even grocery stores and food markets which carry and sell agricultural plant foods are now aware of the risks for workers who must handle or work with farm products (which are routinely sold to the gullible, ignorant public). These products are reeking with poisons. Hence, smart food stores require that their workers use rubber gloves, rubber aprons and sometimes even half or full face masks to protect breathing, the eyes, etc.
Today, it is a very dangerous undertaking to handle, work with or sometimes to even be in contact with quantities of agricultural products--which once were totally and completely safe from all aspects. But no longer! The modern boom in chemistry and the petro-chemical industry has made food very dangerous to handle or be in contact with. Yet, the public buys it and eats it.
This handling aspect of poisons brings up another fallout on this problem over pesticides. Of the different agricultural products, pesticides are extremely common in growing cotton. Almost all cotton is grown today with pesticide poisons to fight pests (in the old days, cotton plantations used Negro slaves and field hands to grow organic cotton, but all of this has changed).
Since it is a proven fact that plants absorb the poisons into plant fiber, stems, seeds, etc, one must stop and wonder about the propriety of using these chemical poisons on cotton which will be grown to provide cloth for humans/humanoids.
When so-called human beings wear the poisoned cotton cloth, is there any possibility that the previously used pesticides has contaminated the cotton in any way? Will it affect the people who come into contact with it? Will these cotton cloth items exert any adverse influence on the innocent humans who touch this stuff in any manner? This writer is unsure of the answers here. But the questions should be asked.
By Products
Beyond the chemical fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides dispensed over American farm lands and crops, another interesting thing has happened in the last several years. It seems that some big American corporations have come up with some byproducts or waste products from their manufacturing processes.
Their desire for profit and gain has prompted them to look for buyers. The solution they chose was to sell them to farmers as fertilizers. Now, vast quantities of toxic heavy metals and low level uranium waste products are being spread out across portions of America’s farm lands (“The Omega Times,” fall 1997, p. 11).
The Jan 28, 2002, “American Free Press” (p. 22) assessed the problem in a story by John Tiffany on “Startling New Book Reveals Toxic Waste in Our Foods.” Per Tiffany, many of the so-called fertilizers now being used contain various poisons--like arsenic, cadmium, lead and beryllium. These are industrial byproducts so toxic that it is illegal to dump them into the air or water.
But in the profit world of big business, they are not about to lose a chance to make some bucks. These poisons are simply sold to farmers and the corporate agricultural world for use on our friendly potatoes and carrots. Some of the poisons, like cadmium, are not poisonous to plants, but will harm animals and humans. Of course, the plants absorb many of these poisons from the soil.
Tragically, however, some or many of these applications render the soil sterile. Sometimes, the destruction process does not happen all at once. But over time, these toxic wastes destroy the soil. Washington state television reports have periodically mentioned the plight of farmers, who ignorantly used these items to destroy their productive good farms.
Actually, the 20th and early 21st centuries have seen several modern industries develop which have spelled absolute disaster to the human environment and have caused much of the degenerative diseases (like cancer) that adversely affect millions of people--such as the chemical, petroleum, nuclear, automotive and food industries.
In particular, chemicals used on the land eventually end up in the public’s food and water supplies. But no one seems to exhibit much care. So they continue to be used.
Rachel Carson
In 1962, Rachel Carson published “Silent Spring,” her famous book on pesticide poisonings and what was happening to America since these poisons were introduced in American agriculture in the post WWII environment.
She noted that whereas it had historically been desirable and interesting to put bird seeds out in the spring to feed the many, beautiful, American birds that had inhabited the North American continent for ages; all of this was to change one strange, odd, different spring. As Rachel wrote it, one spring there were no birds. Where had the birds gone?
The essence of her analysis was that man had killed all of the birds off with his irresponsible, careless, stupid and indiscriminate use of pesticide poisons to supposedly get rid of insects; so that food could be cheaply produced without facing the high cost of labor intensive organic gardening.
Frankly, it is extremely easy to observe and attest to what Rachel Carson had in mind. This writer was born before WWII and was a boy living on a farm in 1940 and 1941, preceding the outbreak of the war. School was two miles away and it was necessary to walk those two miles twice a day.
In those days, in rural Oklahoma, the skies had all kinds of marvelous birds. But times were to change. It started slowly with the end of the war and has continued ever since then--only getting worse and worse over time.
Slowly and methodically, the birds started vanishing--other than a few sparrows which have been a little more resilient to man’s poisons. But over the years, even the sparrows may be in trouble. The July 19, 2002, “The Week” (p. 6) had a news report from London that the once common house sparrow has disappeared from British cities and no one knows why. The sparrow population is down by 99% since 1980.
Where have the birds been going? The answer--man has been systematically, regularly and routinely killing them off since WWII. With the loss of the birds, man loses one of the best methods of controlling bugs and insects. Man then turns to more and more pesticide poisons.
Recent Times
While a massive slaughtering of birds is not usually seen and reported upon (since there often seems to be so few of them around any more), there was one terrible event in Oct 1999 when someone left some pesticide laced corn out in a field apparently in Central Illinois. A large number of a particular breed of blackbirds (which was on the endangered species’ list) were to eat some of it over a period of days.
The result was a massive wipe out of 27,000 of them. This huge number of birds would appear to be a rarity. But they apparently had accumulated in the area from all over the country. News reports suggested that someone had deliberately left the poisoned corn out, specifically to kill the birds.
A similar later event took place in Jan 2003 near the town of White, GA when someone left some pesticide laced corn out for birds in a rural area. Up to 2,000 birds--hawks, doves, ducks, geese, etc--were slaughtered. The insecticide was reportedly a product called Warbex (Jan 25, Spokane “Spokesman-Review,” p. A5). The final idea on this is that if these pesticides will kill birds, they will kill humans.
Beyond the slaughter of birds and wildlife from pesticides and other poisons, there is another facet of this question which must be mentioned here. “The Week” magazine of Nov 30, 2001-Dec 7, 2001 (p. 18), had a short news report on “Migratory birds may become casualties.” The focus of this report was on the Bush war on terrorism in Afghanistan.
Per the story, more than 200 species of migratory birds--including the pelican, Arctic tern, Siberian crane, and shoveller duck--use Afghanistan as a rest stop on their 4,000-mile journeys from Russia and Central Asian countries to warm, wet India. One of the fallouts of the attack on Afghanistan has been the massive remains of chemical by-products from the bombs dropped.
The Afghan wetlands have become heavily polluted from the remains of these chemical poisons. Abra Abmed, senior program officer at the World Wide Fund for Nature India, says that the “chemical contents in the bombs could enter the food chain.” These chemicals may affect the birds’ breeding cycles and get stored in their fat, making them incapable of migration.
Abmed noted that pesticides, in the past, have caused a thinning of egg shells and a decline in bird population. “If one chemical could have such an impact,” per Abmed, “so many chemicals can certainly pose a problem.”
The Present Crisis
Today, when present in rural areas, birds are a comparatively rare sight. A person may see one occasionally. But that’s generally about it--one now and then and no real presence, as there once was before WWII. This writer has visited various parks, national forests and wilderness areas and it’s not much better.
Slowly, the birds are disappearing just as the fish are disappearing (other than some presence of cat fish scavengers). The difference seems to be that men like to catch fish. So the government maintains pollution free fish hatcheries to grow small game fish to be released into the US waterways. By producing and releasing these fish by the thousands, the waterways still have some fish.
The point of this dilemma is that pesticide and herbicide poisons are slowly bringing havoc and destruction to wildlife which used to be found profusely all over the North American continent.
No wonder so many informed people are expressing concern over what is happening in the great rain forests of South America, Africa and Asia. We are killing everything possible all over the globe. Daily, species are becoming extinct in significant numbers. No one does anything about the loss--beyond just talking about it!
The Death in Long Island Sound?
Former comments discussed the situation in the New York City area where there was an outbreak of the deadly West Nile, encephalitis virus in the late summer of 1999. Once established (perhaps brought into the area from Africa, where it is now found, or from Litton Industries, as was discussed in a preceding chapter), the virus was picked up and spread by birds and mosquitoes.
As discussed earlier, there has been some particular concern that with warm weather, the disease could head South and West to produce a real epidemic. This possibility came true in 2000 and later as it did spread across America.
The NY crisis prompted a massive poisonous spraying effort in the fall of 1999 to try to kill off the mosquitoes and contain the disease (as noted earlier). But this massive spraying effort seems to have produced some unplanned reactions in the context of life in the Long Island Sound area of the Atlantic Ocean.
Following the spraying in 1999, there was a massive kill of fish (over 100,000 dead fish turned up), lobsters (perhaps 1,000,000), sea urchins, crabs and other forms of water life (discussed on the “Art Bell Dreamland” program of Jan 23, 2000). Most informed people readily connected the spraying to the slaughter of water life in the Sound area (due to the poisoned water run-off).
Naturally, the public officials in NY, who authorized the spraying, saw no connections between the poisonous sprays and the death in the Atlantic. They refused to accept the link and continued to outline their plans to resume spraying once warm weather arrived in the spring of 2000.
It seems that man can never put two and two together in the sense of a cause and effect relationship.
Since the West Nile virus surfaced again in the summers of 2000-2003, the supposedly intelligent leaders in NY began more spraying campaigns in those years to fight the mosquitoes. Who knows what will happen in this effort in the future.
True, the poisons may kill a few mosquitoes, but surviving mosquitoes will develop an immunity to the poisons and there will be another crisis in the waters.
The Railroads
The railroads are another good illustration of how stupid, irresponsible man has been over using chemical poisons. Before the modern chemical and petro-chemical industries began proliferating their products throughout society in the 20th century, the railroads used to have to hire people to clear the brush, weeds and vegetation along the right-of-ways near their tracks.
But with the exploding chemical usage in the post WWII environment, the railroads substituted poisonous herbicides for human labor. They began spraying the poisons along the railroad right-of-ways which solved the vegetation problem and made for more profits.
Many years ago (pre-WWII), people used to be able to walk along a railroad (when going from place to place) with little concern for safety beyond watching out for coming trains. People had better not do that today!
Does anyone actually believe that the railroad owners and managers give any consideration at all to the use of these poisons and the fact that they will not only kill, poison and injure persons and animals which came into contact with them, but that they will run off with rainwater to pollute rivers, streams and the underground water table? Of course not!
The railroad decision is made on the basis of profits. And since the railroads are owned and/or controlled by the super rich fat cats in the collective society (as will be discussed in a future chapter), there is never any interference from the government, churches, preachers, doctors, lawyers, etc.
The sun worship culture and society have never questioned human greed or the chemical and petro-chemical businesses.
Beyond spraying herbicides (like the poisonous agent orange) along the railroad right-of-ways, it should be noted that years ago the railroads discovered that they could also treat their tracks with various chemical preservatives and poisons to repel insects, weeds and on and on which could damage the tracts.
When the railroad closes a line, they sell these poisonous tracks to unsuspecting people to handle and be in contact with for use as fence posts, etc.
The Christian Impact
The Christian sun worship public could have always said no on any or all of these poisons. But it hasn’t worked out that way. By all means, Christian sun worship preachers could have and should have been preaching some sermons and telling their dumb sheep some of the facts of life. But they haven’t.
Christian sun worship preachers could have quoted any number of Tanakh texts to benefit their people, but they haven’t (because they are NT Christians and largely don’t know and/or don’t understand the OT).
As outlined in a former chapter, it is sin to sell or eat poisoned food (many Christians don’t understand this fact, but it is the truth). A future chapter will assess this question in some detail.
