18 of Nature's most powerful Medicinal Plants

by Ecoist

from WebEcoist Website

 

From marijuana to catnip, there are hundreds of remarkably common herbs, flowers, berries and plants that serve all kinds of important medicinal and health purposes that might surprise you:

• anti-inflammatory
• anti-fungal
• insect repellent
• antiseptic
• expectorant
• antibacterial
• detoxification
• fever reduction
• antihistamine
• pain relief

Here are eighteen potent medical plants you’re likely to find in the wild - or even someone’s backyard - that can help with minor injuries, scrapes, bites and pains.
 

  Marijuana

 

Seriously. Though marijuana is still illegal in the United States, it is legal in 12 states for medicinal purposes, and if a case of poison ivy in the woods isn’t a medicinal purpose, what is?

 

Marijuana was 'mostly' legal until 1970 when it became classified as a hard drug. No one thought of it as a dangerous or illicit drug until the 20th century; in fact, hemp was George Washington’s primary crop and Thomas Jefferson’s secondary crop.

 

The Declaration of Independence is written on it; the Gutenberg Bible was printed on hemp, too. There’s actually an environmental dimension to legalizing marijuana - hemp is a remarkable and renewable plant, offering all kinds of foodstuff and product uses that surpass cotton and plastic. But health benefits are well documented, from depression and anxiety relief to reduced blood pressure, pain alleviation and glaucoma treatment.

 

It is not addictive, does not kill brain cells and is not a “gateway” drug - in fact, when pot is more available, studies show that the use of hard drugs like heroin and cocaine actually decreases.

 

The bottom line for hikers: when your leg is broken from a misjudged boulder hopping attempt (pain) and a bear has eaten your friend (depression) and you’re lost because you forgot the compass (dumbass), consult the cannabis.

Former Marxist Terrorist Elected Brazil President

In what can only be defined as a mockery to the democratic tradition, 135 million Brazilians voted today and elected Dilma Vana Rousseff as the next president of the country with 55% of valid votes. She is a former Marxist terrorist, a bank robber and was involved with her group in the murder of innocent people, including a 19 year-old boy.

She also never faced an election, never had a steady job in the private sector or had any accomplishments that could justify her claim to the most powerful position in Brazil. Her only asset: being chosen by Lula.

The government committed a series of unlawful actions in order to remain in power:

- Use of the State power, forcing public employees to join the campaign,
- Illegal use of union funds for events and publications favoring Dilma´s candidacy,
- Use of state companies´ advertising budget to fund pro-Dilma press,
- Corruption of poll institutes, which gave a far superior advantage for Dilma than reality. in all results,
- Illegal engagement of populist president Lula in the campaign, using public funds and his working time,
- Illegal digging and use of private tax reports of opponents,
- Illegal apprehension of lawful campaign materials and coercion of religious voices.(1970, Police Mugshot)
 

WHAT WE CAN EXPECT

- A stronger Latin American Marxist alliance, with Chavez from Venezuela, Castro in Cuba, Kirschner in Argentina and Dilma in the lead, promoting the Bolivarian supra-national revolution in the continent.

- Implementation of the PNDH3, a social engineering plan that promotes gay marriage, free abortion, ban of religious symbols, censorship in the media and pulpits, and ban of private property.

- Blind opposition to the United States (these guys murdered an American official and kidnapped the US ambassador) and support to authority regimes such as Iran and Palestine.

- Support to New World Order plans like global warming and bio-diversity,

- More growth in the participation of the state in the economy and increase in taxation.

- Support for terrorist and narcotraffic organizations such as the Colombian FARC, and Brazilian MST, a group that invades farms and kill people.

- Widespread corruption and distribution of privileges and favors for friends of the Party.

- A war against the little that is left of the opposition, with censorship laws against the internet and print media.

The situation is a fine example of Hegelian dialectics. Instead of having a leftist party against a conservative party, we saw four leftist candidates aiming for the position. Jose Serra, the "opposition" candidate, also a leftist, comes from the same cradle where the Workers Party originated, and never challenged Lula´s connections with the FARC and his many scandals. Instead, he played the "gentleman", who never complained.

When Communists want you to choose deep red against green, they set up an election with pink against light red, and make light red win. Green is excluded. Next election we see light red against deep red, and deep red wins.

If they want to approve abortion laws, they make a debate between those who support late term abortion against those who support abortion until the three month limit. Pro lifers are not invited.

Brazil now enters its purgatory. 45% of Brazilians didn´t choose the terrorist, who doesn´t have any charisma (in contrast to Lula).  I predict we will see lots of trouble ahead as the economic situation deteriorates after the first crisis.

COULD GANDHI BE SAVED : RSS ROLE IN GANDHI ASSASSINATION

by Bal Patil 

It is indeed astonishing that even after a lapse of sixty years there should still be ambivalence about the cold-blooded killing of the greatest human being of our times of whom Einstein said: “"Generations to come, it may be, will scarce believe that such a one as this, ever in flesh and blood walked upon this earth." Rather, it would be unsustainable and totally presumptious to raise an issue that there can be two views of the cold and calculated conspiracy which led to the assassination of the Father of the Nation by die hard fundamentalists nurtured by the RSS.

The deep RSS hatred for the Congress nationalist struggle which led to the partition and independence of India culminated in the assassination of the Father of the Nation, Mahatma Gandhi. There has been long a strong suspicion right from the assassination that the RSS cadres had infiltrated in various administrative departments. As Pyarelal, Secretary to Mahatma Gandhi, notes in Mahatma Gandhi: the Last Phase (1958) describing the antecedents of the conspiracy to murder the Mahatma over the lack of security despite the bomb incident on 20th January 1948:

Mahatma Gandhi, was assassinated on January 30, 1948 by one Nathuram Godse, member of the Hindu Mahasabha and formerly associated with the RSS. A ban was imposed on the outfit subsequent to the deed.

In a letter to the RSS chief, Golwalkar, on the ban on the RSS following Gandhiji’s assassination, Sardar Vallabhabhai Patel, India’s first union home minister, clearly acknowledged the complicity of the RSS in the Gandhi assassination.

If the deleterious rot of the RSS ideology was so deep at the dawn of freedom one cannot simply imagine its hydra-headed extent today and its cancerous damage to the body politic. I remember as a lad of sixteen, distinctly the pyromania that prevailed in the RSS stronghold at Pune and Sangli (Maharashtra State) by the enraged mobs against the Brahmin community on learning about the identity of Nathuram Godse. At Jaysingpur near Sangli a mob set on fire a stationery shop of one Jain RSS Shakha Chalak-Monitor of RSS branch- who after garlanding a photo of Dr.Hedgewar-founder of the RSS- and breaking the photo of the Mahatma distributed sweets. When the furious mob attacked him he sought refuge before the writer’s father who happened to be a Civil Judge & Magistrate. A Gandhian by temperament he pacified the violent mob and refrained from firing. Such was the writer’s earliest brush with the quintessential RSS ideology and its demonic manifestations in the Hindutva fundamentalism which renders constitutional secular ideal meaningless.

Inspiration for the RSS cadres and their paramilitary training was derived from Benito Mussolini’s fascist paramilitary groups, the Blackshirts, after RSS mentor and founder, BS Moonje visited the Italian dictator in 1931. As detailed in Marzia Casolari’s article, "Hindutva’s foreign tie-up in the 1930s: Archival evidence" (Economic and Political Weekly, January 22, 2000):

"To understand militant Hinduism, one must examine its domestic roots as well as foreign influence. In the 1930s Hindu nationalism borrowed from European fascism to transform ‘different’ people into ‘enemies’. Leaders of militant Hinduism repeatedly expressed their admiration for authoritarian leaders such as Mussolini and Hitler and for the fascist model of society. This influence continues to the present day. This paper presents archival evidence on the would-be collaborators."

All the available evidence strongly suggests that the Government failed to protect Gandhiji when it could have done so. The stock excuse provided Government for inadequately security measures is that Government did not like persons attending prayer meetings to be scared.

But this excuse is untenable. It should have been perfect possible to apply security measure without Gandhiji’s knowledge. In fact, it is perfectly reasonable to assume that if the security measures adopted to protect other leaders at that time had been applied to Gandhiji the murder could never have taken place.

This is one of the points stressed in a recent book published in Lisbon entitled “Who Killed Gandhi?” by Lourenco de Salvador who is a Goanese by birth and has settled in Portugal. He claims to have been a life-long follower of Gandhiji. The book was printed privately and has been reviewed in a recent issue of the Times Literary Supplement. It is unlikely that the book will find entry in India.

The author admits that ‘the murder (quoted from the above review-not in the author’s words) came as a great shock to everyone but the fanatics: the grief of the Congress leaders was sincere and genuine.. but he (de Salvador) sticks to the point that it need never have happened.

The review also says that “there were certain aspects of the trial of Godse which de Salvador thinks partook of the nature of a cover-up exercise, and he masters evidence for the view that some important testimony was not made public.”

Even Jawaharlal Nehru said in Parliament: “And today the fact that this mighty person whom we honoured and loved beyond measure, had gone because we could not give adequate protection is a shame for all of us..”
