Occupy Vancouver? 99% Peace Freedom Justice
What Is Occupy Vancouver?
Occupy Vancouver - A Non Violent Movement for Social, Economic and Political Change
We, the Ninety-Nine Percent, come together with our diverse experiences to transform the unequal, unfair, and growing disparity in the distribution of power and wealth in our city and around the globe. We challenge corporate greed, corruption, and the collusion between corporate power and government. We oppose systemic inequality, militarization, environmental destruction, and the erosion of civil liberties and human rights. We seek economic security, genuine equality, and the protection of the environment for all.
We are inspired and in solidarity with global movements including those across the Middle East, Europe, and the Occupy Wall Street / Occupy Together movement in over 1000 cities in North America. Injustice anywhere is injustice everywhere.
We humbly acknowledge that Occupy Vancouver is taking place on unceded Coast Salish territories.
We are committed to an inclusive and welcoming space, to addressing issues of oppression and discrimination, and to creating an environment where all the 99% can be heard and can meaningfully participate. We are also committed to safeguarding our collective well-being – including safety from interpersonal violence and any potential police violence.
PLEASE NOTE: This is a working statement that we know will evolve as #OccupyVancouver grows and flourishes. Our demands and our dreams are not limited to this statement as we have many ideas and solutions. As stated by #OccupyTogether, no one group, person, or website could ever speak for this diverse gathering of individuals. However, the General Assembly on October 8th reached consensus to accept these broad principles as a starting point and there will be further discussion on October 15th at 10 am at the General Assembly at the Vancouver Art Gallery.

Grow Grapes Easy Wild Free Food
Grapes grow like weeds
- Grapes are really a no brainer crop. They need full sun, and little to no fertilizer each season. They do not need to be pruned, although I do cut them back as they are picked. The trick with grapes is finding the right variety for the length of summer you have. There are 9 varieties here and 1 never ripens fully. I am in zone 6. They really do grow and live as easily as trees. This green seedless grapes are called Himrod. I take hardwood cuttings in the winter and end up with many, many starts, too bad I can't send them to you! Peace

Microwave Cooking Harmful
Microwaved Food
by Raymond Francis
More
than 90% of homes in the US have a microwave oven. Builders routinely
install these ovens in new homes and hardly a restaurant is without one.
They are fast, convenient, economical, and ideally suited to the fast
pace of modern lifestyles. There is only one problem with microwave
ovens—they are extremely hazardous to your health. It is hard to
conceive of any reasonable person who would eat microwaved foods if they
understood the hazards. Obviously, very few people truly comprehend
these hazards. And no one is rushing to educate them! Let's have a look
at some of the problems with this technology:
Microwaves,
very short waves of electromagnetic energy, are just part of Mother
Nature's energy spectrum. This spectrum includes visible, infrared, and
ultraviolet light along with radio waves, x-rays, and so forth.
Microwaves are generated by the sun along with visible light and the
other invisible parts of the spectrum. However, there is a big
difference between what the sun generates and what is generated in a
microwave oven. This difference is the result of the alternating current
used to generate the oven microwaves.
Here
is how microwaves cook food: All electromagnetic waves change from
positive to negative with each cycle of the wave. Alternating current
simply makes these cycles happen faster. Water molecules have a positive
and a negative end. Because of this, when exposed to microwave energy,
which is changing from positive to negative, the water molecules rotate.
This is similar to making a pin rotate on a surface by using a magnet.
Microwaves, generated by the alternating current in an oven, cause the
water molecules in the food to rotate billions of times per second. This
results in an enormous amount of friction among these molecules, thus
causing the food to get hot.
It
has been generally assumed that microwaved foods are safe to eat. In
fact, the only concern of our regulators has been about the leakage of
microwaves from the oven. Surprisingly, regulators have never questioned
whether the microwaved foods themselves are safe.
In 1991, an early clue that microwaved food is not
safe came to public attention in the form of a lawsuit. The family of
one Norma Levitt sued for wrongful death. It seems Norma went to the
hospital for hip replacement surgery. The operation was a success, but
the patient died. Norma died after being given a blood transfusion where
the blood had been warmed in a microwave oven. This was our first big
clue to the fact that heating things in a microwave does something
fundamental and harmful to the chemistry of what is being heated. If
microwaving, only long enough to warm the blood to body temperature,
could make the blood toxic enough to kill, then what happens when we
microwave food for a longer period at higher temperatures?
A
lot more goes on in a microwave oven than just making things hot. The
enormous amount of energy going into the food molecules is sufficient to
break protein molecules apart and cause them to react in ways that they
would not otherwise do. As a result, a lot of strange new molecules are
created and this is the problem. The molecular structure of the food is
changed, thus producing molecules that the body does not recognize.
These strange new molecules are unnatural to the body and can be
carcinogenic and toxic. This explains why significant biochemical
changes have been measured in those eating microwaved food.
Swiss Experiments
Experiments
performed in Switzerland by Dr. Hans Hertel along with Dr. Bernard
Blanc of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology found that
microwaving damaged the nutritional quality of food. They also measured
pathological changes in the blood of volunteers who ate the microwaved
food. Hertel and Blanc's findings are both profound and shocking. These
researchers found a decrease in the hemoglobin content of the blood.
This means that the blood will carry less oxygen and that the body's
tissues may not be getting all the oxygen they need. White cell count
and cholesterol both increased. An increase in white cells indicates
stress on the body. White cells go up in response to acute infections,
toxins, and cell damage. Lymphocytes decreased. Lymphocytes are a
particular kind of white cell that is important to antibody production.
None of these happenings are good for you. An immune system in crisis
and oxygen starved tissues may not be what you had in mind when you put
the food in the oven. And as if that wasn't bad enough, they also found
that serum from the blood of the volunteers who ate the microwaved food
caused an increase in the luminescence of light-emitting bacteria. It
appears that energy from the microwaving was stored in the molecular
bonds of the food. This caused changes in the energy pattern of the
blood, thus stimulating these bacteria to emit light when exposed to the
blood serum. This finding raises the question of whether it is even
safe to drink microwaved water. There may be residual energy stored in
the atomic bonds of the water atoms. What all this is telling us is that
microwaved food contains both molecules and energies that are not
normal to the food. Introducing abnormal molecules and energies into the
body is not conducive to good health. Let's see what other studies tell
us this can mean...
Studies in the Soviet Union
A
significant amount of research into the hazards of microwaves was
performed in the former Soviet Union. These studies were conducted at
the Institute of Radio Technology at Kinsk. They led to the discovery of
serious health problems associated with exposure to microwaves and the
consumption of microwaved food. As a consequence, the Soviet Union
outlawed microwave ovens in 1976 and set very strict limits on microwave
exposure. The Soviets issued an international warning on both the
environmental and biological health hazards of microwave ovens and other
microwave devices. Some of the Soviet findings were published in this
country by the Atlantis Rising Educational Center in Portland, Oregon.
The
Soviets found that microwaving food caused the production of well-known
carcinogens, regardless of the type of food. Meats, dairy, grains,
fruits, and vegetables all formed known cancer-causing chemicals. In
addition, these researchers observed disorders in the digestive systems,
malfunctions in the lymphatic systems, and an increase of cancerous
cells in the blood of those who ate microwaved foods. They found a
statistically high correlation between those who ate microwaved foods
and cancer of the stomach and intestines and a gradual breakdown of the
function of the digestive system.
The
Soviets also found decreases in the nutritional quality of all the
foods researched. The nutritional quality of microwaved food decreased
by 60 to 90%. These included decreased bioavailability of minerals, B
vitamins, vitamins C and E, and lipotropic factors. Even the nutritional
value of proteins was decreased.
Hormonal
abnormalities were also observed, especially in the production and
balancing of male and female hormones. A destabilization in the
electrical potential of cell membranes was observed. Maintaining a
normal electrical potential in cell membranes is critical to cellular
health and to cell-to-cell communication. Continual eating of microwaved
food caused permanent brain damage resulting in memory loss, inability
to concentrate, emotional upsets, and a decrease in intelligence.
Dr. Lita Lee
Dr. Lita Lee, author of Health Effects of Microwave Radiation—Microwave Ovens,
has been a guest on my radio show. She wrote in her book that every
microwave oven leaks radiation, and that foods cooked in them develop
toxic and carcinogenic by-products. Dr. Lee observed disease patterns
among consumers of microwaved foods that included lymphatic disorders,
which often lead to the increased probability of certain types of
cancers, including increased rates of stomach and intestinal cancers,
and higher rates of digestive disorders.
Conclusion
There
are three things to remember here. One is that microwaving food creates
new chemical compounds that are toxic and even carcinogenic. The second
is that the nutritional value of the food is significantly reduced. The
third is the silent, but measurable effects in your body when you eat
microwaved food. Such foods appear to promote cancer, hormonal
imbalances, lymphatic disorders, digestive disorders, blood and immune
abnormalities, emotional problems, permanent brain damage and even heart
disease.
Given
all the above, it is difficult to conceive of anyone who would want to
continue to eat microwaved food. To be sure of avoiding all microwaved
foods, one has to ask in restaurants if any of the food you are ordering
will be heated in a microwave. If so, don't order it. Based on the data
I have seen to date, I recommend that you unplug your microwave and
never use it again.
