Oregano: the most powerful antibiotic in the world

SECOND PART

by the staff of El Reportero

NOTE FROM THE EDITOR: Here we present the second part of a series that tells about the surprising benefits of oregano and its uses and properties to improve our daily life. Oregano is a stimulant of the immunologic system. Oregano oil has been tested in European studies as an important stimulant of the immunologic system. Compared to plants such as echinacea and golden seal, wild oregano oil is much more effective in the stimulation of our immunologic system. Use from 1 to 3 drops three times a day to recharge the immunologic system and maintain good health.

Anti-inflammatory and analgesic/anesthetic. Oregano oil is the best partner of an athlete due to its anti-inflammatory and anesthetic action.

When applied externally, the oil penetrates tissues and accelerates their healing, it reduces the pain of beatings, sprains and muscle aches, tendinitis, cramps and other similar injuries. Arthritis also responds well to this treatment. For external use, use it directly from the bottle; people with sensitive skin should add between 3 and 5 drops of olive oil to one drop of oregano oil. Avoid contact with eyes, mucosa membranes and sensitive skin areas. The pain relief and the relief of other inflammatory conditions can get better by the intake of oregano oil.

Fungicide.The candiasis is a fungus that infects millions of people. Oregano oil contains a powerful fungicide agent that eliminates candiasis in an effective and safe manner. Put from 1 to 3 drops under the tong or take it with juice 3 times a day. Certain cases will require a more aggressive treatment. If this is your case, fill up a gel capsule with 5 to 8 drops of oregano oil and take them once a day during dinner. Continue the treatment while necessary. Avoid the food that contains sugar and refined flour, as these feed the candiasis. Make sure you drink 8 to 12 glasses of pure spring water a day to help to purify the body from toxins. Fungus in the nails, that are very difficult to remove, have a powerful enemy in oregano oil. Wash and dry the nails, put them in oregano oil twice a day and take from 1 to 3 drops of oregano oil 3 times a day.

Athlete foot. The effectiveness of oregano oil in eliminating infections of fungus, as athlete foot, makes that oregano is key in our drawer. Apply the oil in the infected part after taking a shower or before going to bed.

­Anti-oxidant. Oregano oil is one of the most powerful natural anti-oxidants. It protects the cells from damages caused by free radicals, as it prolongs the duration of stored food.

Antiparasitic. Nor lice or scabies are adversaries for oregano oil due to their powerful antiparasitic properties. Add some drops to your shampoo and wash your hair and head with it. Add some drops of a vegetal oil to apply after washing affected areas, and add a whole dropper to your detergent to disinfect the clothes. Add one drop in the water of uncertain origin to protect from these parasites, as well as from a bacterial infection. Take from 1 to 3 drops 3 times per day to keep yourself free from parasites.

Next week we will continue listing the properties of oregano that will improve your life quality.

Morales’s mixed messsages over land rights

­by the El Reportero’s news services

Evo MoralesEvo Morales

“A new land reform law which would do away once and for all with latifundia and overhaul the land reform institute [Inra]”.

This pledge, delivered by President Evo Morales this month to indigenous and campesino supporters at an event in Villa Tunari, Cochabamba, along with 18,600 property titles, harks back to one of the chief demands of his support base which has only been partially addressed by the new plurinational 2009 constitution.

While coming amid other signs of progress by the Movimiento al Socialismo (MAS) government vis-à-vis land reform efforts (core to its declared priority of redistributing wealth to the impoverished majority), the pledge also follows – or could even be in direct response to – other government actions which have raised major question marks over its commitment to indigenous land rights.

Chávez champions new look personally and politically

He might look harder with his head shaved in the wake of chemotherapy to treat his unspecified cancer, but Venezuela’s President Hugo Chávez is keen to show a softer side. He is reaching out to the middle class, just as he did before the last presidential elections in 2006, with symbolic gestures. First up is a sartorial change.

The colour red, synonymous with radical revolution, is no longer in vogue; Chávez is sporting yellow shirts and even wearing suits. Too much revolutionary dogma is also out of fashion. Chávez is even extolling the virtues of private enterprise, at least when it involves small businesses.

One thing that has not changed is his appetite for power: Chávez has now pushed his retirement date back from 2021 to 2031.

Steps forward and back as Guatemala addresses civil war past

There have been some recent milestones, vis-à-vis the pledge by centre-left President Álvaro Colom to redress past impunity in relation to the 1960-1996 civil war that left more than 200,000 people dead and saw the State (chiefly the military) accused of 93 percent of human rights violations committed.

­These include: the first ever conviction of former soldiers for a massacre; the arrests of the highest-ranking military official to date, on charges of genocide, and of the suspected mastermind of the emblematic 1980 Spanish embassy attack; and the launch of a new centre providing unprecedented public access to the country’s military archives.

These developments are significant when comparing Guatemala’s efforts with those of Southern Cone countries which, bar Argentina which convicted top military officials in the 1985 Trial of the Juntas, only began acting in 2010, some 30 years after the region’s return to democracy. By Latin News.

A national debt of $14 trillion? Try $211 trillon

by NPR staff

When Standard & Poor’s reduced the nation’s credit rating from AAA to AA-plus, the United States suffered the first downgrade to its credit rating ever. S&P took 2011this action despite the plan Congress passed this past week to raise the debt limit.

The downgrade, S&P said, “reflects our opinion that the fiscal consolidation plan that Congress and the administration recently agreed to falls short of what, in our view, would be necessary to stabilize the government’s medium-term debt dynamics.”

It’s those medium- and long-term debt problems that also worry economics professor Laurence J. Kotlikoff, who served as a senior economist on President Reagan’s Council of Economic Advisers. He says the national debt, which the U.S. Treasury has accounted at about $14 trillion, is just the tip of the iceberg.

“We have all these unofficial debts that are massive compared to the official debt,” Kotlikoff tells David Greene, guest host of weekends on All Things Considered. “We’re focused just on the official debt, so we’re trying to balance the wrong books.”

Kotlikoff explains that America’s “unofficial” payment obligations — like Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid benefits — jack up the debt figure substantially.

“If you add up all the promises that have been made for spending obligations, including defense expenditures, and you subtract all the taxes that we expect to collect, the difference is $211 trillion. That’s the fiscal gap,” he says. “That’s our true indebtedness.”

We don’t hear more about this enormous number, Kotlikoff says, because politicians have chosen their language carefully to keep most of the problem off the books.

“Why are these guys thinking about balancing the budget?” he says.

“They should try and think about our long-term fiscal problems.”

According to Kotlikoff, one of the biggest fiscal problems Congress should focus on is America’s obligation to make Social Security payments to future generations of the elderly.

“We’ve got 78 million baby boomers who are poised to collect, in about 15 to 20 years, about $40,000 per person. Multiply 78 million by $40,000 — you’re talking about more than $3 trillion a year just to give to a portion of the population,” he says. “That’s an enormous bill that’s overhanging our heads, and Congress isn’t focused on it.”

“We’ve consistently done too little too late, looked too short-term, said the future would take care of itself, we’ll deal with that tomorrow,” he says. “Well, guess what? You can’t keep putting off these problems.”

To eliminate the fiscal gap, Kotlikoff says, the U.S. would have to have tax increases and spending reductions far beyond what’s being negotiated right now in Washington.

“What you have to do is either immediately and permanently raise taxes by about two-thirds, or immediately and permanently cut every dollar of spending by 40 percent forever. The [Congressional Budget Office’s] numbers say we have an absolutely enormous problem facing us.”

The Federal Reserve Cartel: The Freemason Bank of the U.S. & The House of the Rothchild (second chapter of the second part)

­por Marvin J. Ramirez

The second chapter of the second part of a four part series

Marvin J. RamirezMarvin J. Ramirez

NOTE FROM THE EDITOR: Dear readers, I just ran into this super detailed article about the intricacies and composition of what is called the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB). The FRB is the Central Bank of the United States, a privately-owned banking cartel, owned by the International Monetary Fund, which in turn is owned by a handful of corrupt families, whose only goal is to enslave the world under a global economy, a global health organization (World Health Organization), a global judicial system (The Hague), private armies such as NATO, OAS – and under a new world government (United Nations,), which combined comprise what is now commonly known as The New World Order – disguised as ‘Globalism.’

By monopolizing the learning institutions in the U.S. and in most parts of the world, this banking elite has been able to implement and manage the current monetary system – an art piece of their own creation that controls practically all life – and death over the Earth.

They pay billions of dollars to universities to teach the arts of economics – through Masters and PhD degrees – to teach their own economic system, and a legal system that makes sure that no one understands – only lawyers – and most people are taught to obey, obey blindly, and with this, govern and impose their will through out the courts and the banking system.

The whole article was divided in four parts by the author. However, to the length of the each part of the series El Reportero will publish a portion of it every week.

El Reportero suggests to anyone who finds any inaccuracy on this report to please email us with your comments. We have provided you in our online edition with a link to the previous editions, so you will be able to follow the whole story up from its very beginning.

Second of the second part of a series of four parts

When Benjamin Franklin journeyed to France to seek financial help for American revolutionaries, his meetings took place at Rothschild banks.

He brokered arms sales via German Mason Baron von Steuben. His Committees of Correspondence operated through Freemason channels and paralleled a British spy network. In 1776 Franklin became de facto Ambassador to France. In 1779 he became Grand Master of the French Neuf Soeurs (Nine Sisters) Lodge, to which John Paul Jones and Voltaire belonged. Franklin was also a member of the more secretive Royal Lodge of Commanders of the Temple West of Carcasonne, whose members included Frederick Prince of Whales. While Franklin preached temperance in the US, he cavorted wildly with his Lodge brothers in Europe. Franklin served as Postmaster General from the 1750’s to 1775 – a role traditionally relegated to British spies. [4]

With Rothschild financing Alexander Hamilton founded two New York banks, including Bank of New York. [5]

He died in a gun battle with Aaron Burr, who founded Bank of Manhattan with Kuhn Loeb financing. Hamilton exemplified the contempt which the Eight Families hold towards common people, once stating, “All communities divide themselves into the few and the many. The first are the rich and the well born, the others the mass of the people…The people are turbulent and changing; they seldom judge and determine right. Give therefore to the first class a distinct, permanent share of government. They will check the unsteadiness of the second.”[6]

Hamilton was only the first in a series of Eight Families cronies to hold the key position of Treasury Secretary. In recent times Kennedy Treasury Secretary Douglas Dillon came from Dillon Read (now part of UBS Warburg). Nixon Treasury Secretaries David Kennedy and William Simon came from Continental Illinois Bank (now part of Bank of America) and Salomon Brothers (now part of Citigroup), respectively. Carter Treasury Secretary Michael Blumenthal came from Goldman Sachs, Reagan Treasury Secretary Donald Regan came from Merrill Lynch (now part of Bank of America), Bush Sr. Treasury Secretary Nicholas Brady came from Dillon Read (UBS Warburg) and both Clinton Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin and Bush Jr. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson came from Goldman Sachs. Obama Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner worked at Kissinger Associates  and the New York Fed.

Thomas Jefferson argued that the United States needed a publicly-owned central bank so that European monarchs and aristocrats could not use the printing of money to control the affairs of the new nation. Jefferson extolled, “A country which expects to remain ignorant and free…expects that which has never been and that which will never be. There is scarcely a King in a hundred who would not, if he could, follow the example of Pharaoh – get first all the people’s money, then all their lands and then make them and their children servants forever… banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies. Already they have raised up a money aristocracy.”

Jefferson watched as the Euro-banking conspiracy to control the United States unfolded, weighing in, “Single acts of tyranny may be ascribed to the accidental opinion of the day, but a series of oppressions begun at a distinguished period, unalterable through every change of ministers, too plainly prove a deliberate, systematic plan of reducing us to slavery”. [7[

But the Rothschildsponsored Hamilton’s arguments for a private US central bank carried the day. In 1791 the Bank of the United States (BUS) was founded, with the Rothschilds as main owners. The bank’s charter was to run out in 1811. Public opinion ran in favor of revoking the charter and replacing it with a Jeffersonian public central bank. The debate was postponed as the nation was plunged by the Euro-bankers into the War of 1812. Amidst a climate of fear and economic hardship, Hamilton’s bank got its charter renewed in 1816.

Old Hickory, Honest Abe & Camelot

In 1828 Andrew Jackson took a run at the US Presidency. Throughout his campaign he railed against the international bankers who controlled the BUS. Jackson ranted, “You are a den of vipers. I intend to expose you and by Eternal God I will rout you out. If the people understood the rank injustices of our money and banking system there would be a revolution before morning.”

­Jackson won the election and revoked the bank’s charter stating, “The Act seems to be predicated on an erroneous idea that the present shareholders have a prescriptive right to not only the favor, but the bounty of the government…for their benefit does this Act exclude the whole American people from competition in the purchase of this monopoly. Present stockholders and those inheriting their rights as successors be established a privileged order, clothed both with great political power and enjoying immense pecuniary advantages from their connection with government. Should its influence be concentrated under the operation of such an Act as this, in the hands of a self-elected directory whose interests are identified with those of the foreign stockholders, will there not be cause to tremble for the independence of our country in war…controlling our currency, receiving our public monies and holding thousands of our citizens independence, it would be more formidable and dangerous than the naval and military power of the enemy. It is to be regretted that the rich and powerful too often bend the acts of government for selfish purposes…to make the rich richer and more powerful. Many of our rich men have not been content with equal protection and equal benefits, but have besought us to make them richer by acts of Congress. I have done my duty to this country.”[8] IT WILL CONTINUE NEXT WEEK.

Sanctuaries without saints

Jorge Mújica Murias
­mexicodelnorte@yahoo.com.mx

“Sanctuary” means, according to the dictionary, 1. Temple in which an image or remains of a saint are worshiped, as in the “the Sanctuary of Lourdes”; 2. Sacred or important valuable place, as in “the Pasteur Institute is a sanctuary of research; and 3. Place used as a refuge, to give protection or asylum, as in “terrorists were arrested at their sanctuary un South France”.

Just because it does not say it, the definition does not include something like “city or county in the United States were undocumented immigrants are free from La Migra”. I wish it said it…

But that’s the definition some people like to use, more inspired by good feelings than reality. And some others use it just to gain credibility among immigrants, promoting “sanctuary laws” without teeth. Some “sanctuary laws” I know of, particularly in Chicago, clearly say that “no authority shall collaborate with Immigration… unless Immigration specifically requests so…” and on and on.

And then it says, quite at the end, that no authority could be sanctioned because of not observing the law… and complaints regarding violations should be taken to … the authorities!

In a few words, the “sanctuary” where immigrants without papers are “safe” from La Migra just do not exist and do not protect, give asylum or refuge to no one.

Out of but really in

And the same is going on with the so called “opt out” of Secure Communities.

“With drums and orchestra it was announces last May that the state of Illinois was opting out of the Secure Communities program”, reports our colleague Fabiola Pomareda in La Raza newspaper. “Never the less, officers of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement confirmed they “keep working in Illinois and that the data base exchange continues, to identify undocumented immigrants”.

It could not be clearer. “Secure Communities is a federal program to share information, and the decisions on its operation are taken by the federal government only”, was told Fabiola by Nicole Navas, speaker for La Migra and person in charge of Secure Communities in Washington. “A state can not cancel its participation or ‘opt out’ after the government has already activated the program in the state”.

It is logical. Secure Communities is a data-share program between local police departments, Homeland Security (La Migra), and the FBI. When the local police officer arrests someone, fingerprints him or her and sends the info the FBI, La Migra gets a copy and boom! The arrestee is marked as a bad guy, drunk, or plain stupid because his biggest problem was not to stop at a stop light, but he’s also marked as undocumented, and avoiding deportation then is a big big problem, Even worse, La Migra can check the data bases data of local and state police “from a desk at the Court building or using a laptop in a Starbucks”, Fabiola was told the spokesperson of the Cook County Sheriff, Steve Patterson.

Let’s be clear then. Secure Communities is not a voluntary program for ­cities and counties, even “sanctuary” cities and counties, and no one can “opt-out” of it.

The solution for La Migra to stop arresting immigrant bread winners who had a drink and then drove, or workers who did not stop at the stop sign to get on time to their jobs, is to eliminate Secure Communities, not to create “sanctuary” cities and counties or make them “immigrant friendly”.

But there’s guy who, all together by himself and him alone, could eliminate Secure Communities. His name is Barack Obama and, for the time being, he lives in Washington, D.C. Other politicians who talk and talk about “opting-out” of Secure Communities are just lying thru their teeth…

The collapse: Celente predicted it would happen and it’s happening

por Gerald Celente

KINGSTON, NY, 9 August 2011 — On June 13, Trends Journal subscribers received this Trend Alert®: “Collapse It’s Coming! Are You Ready?”

In that Trend Alert®, Gerald Celente accurately predicted that a global economic collapse was imminent. “The economy is on the threshold of calamity … another violent financial episode is looming,” he wrote.

Celente warned that the trends of the Summer of 2011 paralleled those in play during August of 2007, trends that had culminated in the “Panic of ’08.”

He dismissed the assurances of world leaders that policies were in place to mitigate the escalating European and US debt crises. He discounted “media experts” promoting an imaginary recovery or debating the prospects of a double-dip recession.

It was all bogus. Those assurances were hot air, and the “recovery” talk and “double-dip recession” debates were just red herrings.

In that Trend Alert®, Celente urged readers to resist the urge to lapse into a vacation state of mind. And he warned that the coming panic was going to be distinctly different!

In the Summer of 2007, before the “Panic of ‘08” set in, the Dow had hit a high of 14,000, the real estate and credit bubbles had not yet burst, and unemployment was a manageable 4.7 percent. People actually still felt prosperous.

The “Collapse of 2011” follows four years of relentless economic decay. The combination of plummeting real estate values, intractable unemployment, and a US/European government debt crises dwarfs the banking/financial institution turmoil of 2008.

Back then, Washington and the Federal Reserve treated the critically wounded economy with trillions of stimulus dollars, low interest rates, and quantitative easing. But in 2011, those fiscal and monetary bandaids are not viable options.

It’s a tale told in chapter and verse in Trends Journals, in Trend Alerts and Trends in The News: the promised recovery was no more than a “cover-up.” We correctly forecast that gold prices would soar, the dollar would dive against the Swiss Franc, the European debt crisis would worsen dramatically, the vaunted emerging markets would submerge, and the “House made of BRICS” would not escape the turmoil.

In forecasting the collapse well in advance, Celente provided an accurate timeline and supported his conclusions with quantifiable data and in-depth analysis. However, now that the collapse is underway, history is already being brazenly reengineered, right in front of our eyes. Blaming the S&P downgrade for triggering the global sell-off/ financial panic – as the majority of pundits are doing – is as bogus as blaming the onset of World War I on the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand. The downgrade was no more than the proverbial last straw that broke the nation’s financial back. Trendpost: Trends Journal subscribers take notice. You know that Gerald Celente predicted the collapse.

He now maintains there are no substantive DC/ FED/ECB/IMF financial cards left to play to reverse the irreversible. Despite today’s Fed announcement to keep interest rates near zero through mid-2013 – and use policy tools to bolster the economy “as appropriate” – he forecasts that future Fed schemes will, at best, provide only temporary relief and, as with its previous attempts, are doomed to fail.

True to form, the economic propaganda mill is churning at full speed ­and the media coverage is mostly “bull.” Tune into any business show, pick up any newspaper and what you will get is the economic equivalent of the notorious 9/11 advice from the authorities as people fled the World Trade Center: “Go back to your offices, the fire in the North Tower is under control.” So now, with some $8 trillion of equity destroyed in just a few days, the authoritative counsel is: “The market is oversold. Get back in. It’s a buying opportunity.” (Gerald Celente is the Director of the Trends Research Institute.)

Morality in media calls on top NBC sponsors to stop “The Playboy Club”

by the El Reportero’s staff

NBC’s top advertisers will receive a letter this week from Morality in Media asking that they use their influence to stop NBC from airing “The Playboy Club” this fall and warning them not to advertise on the show if it airs.

“We will expect advertisers to ste­er clear of the promotion of the Playboy lifestyle and pornography,” said Dawn Hawkins, executive director of Morality in Media. “On a recent media tour, the show’s producers stated–with a straight face–that The Playboy Club is all about “female empowerment,” she noted. “Sexual exploitation of women is not empowering,” she added.

“For nearly six decades, Playboy has been the top pornographer in the world. Pornography has cause the addiction of many adults and even children, has led to increased domestic violence, and the treatment of women and children as mere sex objects to be used, abused, and discard, just like Hugh Hefner’s girlfriends,” Hawkins said.

“ Today – with NBC’s use of the public airwaves – Playboy is poised to cause even more harm, this time bringing its pornographic worldview directly into America’s living rooms,” said Patrick A. Trueman, President of Morality in Media. “We don’t need NBC to pour more fuel to that fire.”

Playboy, once equated with ‘soft-core’ pornography, distributes hardcore pornography on pay TV channels and the Internet. The company also has just partnered with the largest distributor of hard-core porn on the Internet.

Distribution of hardcore pornography can be prosecuted under federal and state obscenity laws, according to Trueman, a former chief of the Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, U.S. Department of Justice, Washington, DC.

Hawkins is encouraging citizens to sign the pledge at www.CloseTheClubOnNBC.com to make it unprofitable for NBC to exploit women and to contact their local affiliate and ask that the show not be aired. The letter sent to advertisers is also available on the site.

Morality in Media, Inc., is the leading national organization focused on opposing pornography and indecency through public education and the application of the law. MIM is leading The War on Illegal Pornography, a coalition of more than 100 national and state groups whose goal is to stop the distribution of illegal pornography.

Robert Rodríguez, the familiar side of a multi-faceted director

­by the staff of El Reportero

Film director Robert RoberFilm director Robert Rober

Along two decades, the multi-faceted Robert Rodríguez has surprised us once and again with his versatility. Since his debut with the film “El Mariachi”, produced with only 7.000 dollars, his career has been varied and successful. The young Latino director played a key role when bringing to the table the productions that included Hispanic actors and now he positions the Latin-American family with his next film. Even though he became known with action movies for adults, such as “Desperado” or “From Dusk Till Dawn”, in 2001 he surprised us with a children action comedy that told the story of two siblings and their mission to save the world on “Spy Kids”. Ten years after the opening of the movie, Dimension Films presents on August 19, the forth part of this series, “Spy Kids: All the Time in the World”, starring Jessica Alba and the young Rowan Blanchard and Mason Cook.

In this opportunity, the movie revolves around the twins Rebeca (Blanchard) and Cecil (Cook) and the tense relationship with their stepmother, Marissa Cortez Wilson (Alba). Nevertheless, after discovering that Marissa actually is an ex international spy who will need to go back to action, to stop a villain who plans to steal time, the kids won’t have much choice other than come to the fight and gather forces with their stepmother, in order to save the world.

Moreover, the movie is presented in an interesting system “4D Aromascope” that reminds us to the old Smell-o-Vision from the ’60s. The system consists on a card that is going to be delivered to the public when they enter the theatre with boxes they have to scratch in different moments of the movie, and that will release scents to make the cinematographic experience more involving and interactive.

Rodríguez says that the idea of bringing Alba to the cast emerged during the filming of “Machete”, starred by the actress, in a moment when he saw Alba changing his son’s diapers. It happens that with nine siblings and being a father of five kinds, family is a very sensitive issue for Rodríguez. In that sense, the Spy Kids series was his opportunity to bring this topic to the big screen, being very successful in the home boxes, to the point that ten years later, the series comes back stronger than ever.

In most of his movies, Rodríguez also acts as screenwriter, photography director, editor or even composer. In Spy Kids 2 and 3 he holds the record, where he appears in seven different credits, showing that there is not something as a too big challenge for this director who is already positioned in action movies for adults, was successful in winning a space in children’s and families’ harts.
