All reportedly from self-inflicted gunshot wounds. Army officials confirmed that within this year alone 14 soldiers have committed suicide at the base. Nearly 4 times more than the average. Six other deaths are currently under investigation to determine if they too had killed themselves. The highest record of suicides in a year on the base is 14 in the year of 2008, at the rate the death toll is rising that record will soon be broken. Suicides and mental illness have understandably plagued our military veterans.
Captain Robert Salas and other members of the military are coming forth in a meeting with the National Press Club to discuss their past experiences with UFO's. They allege that in 1967 while they were on duty at Malstrom AFB in Montana, UFO's hovered over several US & UK bases and deactivated nuclear missiles. They came prepared with the testimony of 120 former or retired military personnel involved in a similar event in 2003. The men declared their mission a "public awareness" issue and seek answers as to why they were told to keep quiet on such matters for so long, just now breaking their silence. Salas says, "the US Air Force is lying about the national security implications of unidentified aerial objects at nuclear bases and we can prove it".
All this news comes amidst what appears to be a critical crossroads in the field of UFOlogy. Retired Norad officer Stanley Fulham recently released a new book titled: "Challenges of Change" Within the text he makes a startling prediction, on October 13th there will be a worldwide UFO display. Stating a fleet of extraterrestrial vehicles will hover over the worlds principal cities for hours intending to avert future catastrophe by drawing awareness to our increasing levels of CO2. According to Fulham aliens will neither land nor communicate on this specific date which will be the first in a series of displays. He reveals he came to this conclusion upon his own experience with the phenomenon dating back to WW2, & data which the public has not been made aware of which he has received over the years from a Senior Norad intelligence officer. He also admits with the help of a world renowned channeler he has communicated with a 43,000 year old group of entities known as the Transcendors, who have continuously preached dire warnings to him about our carbon emissions. My take...either: -he's a Global Warming nut who has fallen victim to Al Gore's false Carbon Tax initiative? (or possibly has a substantial investment in Cap & Trade?) or -with the aid of this so-called channeler he has possibly lost his marbles? or -the timing of Stanley Fulham & the Robert Salas gang affirmations are related to yet another recent development?
Mazlan Othman, a Malaysian astrophysicist and Director of the United Nations (UN) Office for Outer Space Affairs located in Vienna will be appointed as the UN's first contact space ambassador. In the extreme case aliens do visit the planet, she will coordinate humanity's response and will be in charge of greeting our guests. Some confusion has arose over the initial allegation, but remains controversial nonetheless.
Regardless, if history has taught us anything it's that you do not want that role. Example: the first Native Americans to greet Christopher Columbus were enslaved at once. Columbus himself wrote in his diaries of the interaction: "They brought us parrots & balls of cotton & spears & many other things, which they exchanged for the glass beads and hawks' bells. They willingly traded everything they owned.They do not bear arms, & do not know them, for I showed them a sword, they took it by the edge & cut themselves out of ignorance. They would make fine servants. With 50 men we could subjugate them all and make them do whatever we want."
So is it a coincidence all these incidents have occurred at once and seem to involve federal collusion. For a government who normally seemed to deny the existence of extraterrestrials they sure are pushing these new events upon the public. What would be the motive? To understand why government would want to create public hysteria over aliens, you must first study the past.
The following are real operations maneuvered & considered by the government & CIA:
1)Project BLUE BOOK - Following Projects SIGN & GRUDGE, this was an investigation determined to investigate the existence of UFO's. It collected 12,618 UFO reports between 1952-1969. Many argue its publicity was used to create hype across the nation.
2)Project Blue Beam - First off, this proposed operation sounds straight out of a sci-fi flick, but I assure you was a real program which the government & other networks such as NASA seriously considered to boost mass hysteria & impose their will upon the citizens of the world. Basically the plan would begin with engineered disasters & the degradation of religion to provoke citizens into questioning religion entirely. The event would culminate in a gigantic "space show" involving holograms & sounds projected from satellites. Displaying a new messiah (Matraia) who will implement a new world religion & one world government. It sounds blasphemous but was truly considered and judging by recent events might still be in effect today?
Regardless of whether or not aliens arrive on October 13th or interact with our nuclear program. The Kepler Satellite will be shedding new light on the existence of extraterrestrial life, scientist expect it to give a better idea of where life exists beyond our galaxy, and will use the info to pinpoint and focus on those areas.
Still, the recently released UK UFO Files would suggest life does exist & visit Earth often. According to famed astronomer Stephen Hawking, this poses more of a threat rather than something earthlings should look forward to. Claiming aliens would have to be far more advanced than us to reach us and would probably only be doing so out of desperation. We all know how that worked out for the Aztecs upon the arrival of Cortes, who proceeded to slaughter the civilization for the sake of Spanish conquest.
Let's just hope that if Aliens do contact Earth, they're only interested in abducting our dead, as in this episode of the Twilight Zone, entitled: the Second Soul
Every quarter million years the earths poles reverse.
The last time this occurred was 700,000 years ago, meaning we're seriously overdue.
Let's start with the basics: The earth's magnetic fields are caused by the rotation of molten metal in the upper core, which lies just beneath the earths surface. The magnetic field diverts harmful particles and radiation. Serving as giant magnets dragging foreign particles towards them & depositing them at the extreme ends of the earth. Evidence of this phenomenon can be seen when light reflects off the particles, such as when Aurora Borealis or the "Northern Lights" appear.
The poles shield the earth from: -gamma rays -cosmic rays & -solar radiation They are weakened in the event of a shift, if not absent entirely. This process is referred to as a "fade". When this occurs the rate of cancers & mutations soar. Magnetic fields have been fading for 300 years and are currently at 3/4 strength. Since science began keeping tabs in 1845, it has become 10% weaker.
Observe the South-Atlantic Anomaly: A chunk of earth beneath the ocean where fields are absent & magnetic polarity constantly switches. Proof that when the magnetic fields break down it happens in pieces. Many scientists predict the fields will be completely gone in less than a thousand years. Although vast areas of the planet will be losing field in chunks before then, & others will be functioning at partial strength until then.
Others believe this will happen in 2012, which just so happens to coincide with the shift of the magnetic fields of the sun, which occur every 11 years, and when they do the increase in solar activity not only leads to bad television reception, but also fire.
Now take a gander at "Jupiter Wind", or the electromagnetic movement of charged particles from Jupiter (the largest planet in our solar system) Planets with strong fields such as Jupiter or Saturn are dominated by rotation. While solar wind controls plasma flow in smaller magnetospheres such as Earth, meaning our poles rely on the sun. Now we mentioned the next cycle of solar magnetic activity would occur in 2012, which just so happens to occur during a rare cosmic event: The Sun, Earth, & Jupiter will be perfectly aligned. Constant solar wind from the sun normally pushes Jupiter's electromagnetic field into the far reaches of the solar system. But upon this rare event earth will be blocking the solar winds. Jupiter field would respond to a lack of pressure by sending a surge of electromagnetism in the direction it's being blocked: Earth Let's recount: space tsunami one side, elevated solar winds on the opposite, aka: the Perfect Storm
What would it mean for planet earth if all the cards fell into place like some believe? -volcanoes -elevated seismic activity resulting in earthquakes -as previously stated: a free for all for gamma rays & solar radiation -modern navigation, especially which rely on a compass would turn into paperweights & -migrant animals such as geese would lose their direction they contain a mineral called magnetite which syncs their brain with direction. We also contain magnetite. In case studies when magnetite was reduced in patients, they: -became disoriented and couldn't walk straight or stand up long - clumsy -couldn't concentrate & couldn't complete basic tasks such as touching their finger to their nose.
It seems as if the cosmic odds are stacked up against us once again, will the earth prevail or will it be 2k12?
In 1936 she set forth on a 29,000 mile journey around the world. Amidst the last 7,000 miles of her second attempt she broadcast her last radio transmission, stating: "we are running on line" then she disappeared into the abyss.
Many theories arose ranging from suicide to spy allegations. All that may be put to rest as it seems her remains were found 300 miles southeast from her last know location. It appeared Earhart and her navigator Fred Noonan had landed on the flat coral reef off the island of Nikumaroro.
180 radio communications were reported to have been transmitted by the duo in the week following the disappearance. Which would suggest they had survived the landing. The plane was believed to have been located on the island by satellite. A partial skeleton was found on an area not likely to have been spotted in the event of an aerial search. That skeleton found in 1940 has been lost to time but was defined as being consistent with females of European descent in the U.S. today & holding the same stature as Amelia. The skeleton was partial due to the fact that the majority of the bones were likely to have been carried off by giant coconut crabs, which means it's likely some bones may still reside deep in the crabs burrows on the island.
Also present were: -a woman's shoe -2 pieces of glass believed to belong to a 1930's compact mirror -20th-century makeup -an empty bottle & -a sextant box with a serial number matching that of one known to be carried by Noonan.
to less than 1/3 today. The surge of the economies of China & India have lifted 125 million people out of poverty. Though the overall number of slum dwellers around the world still continues to rise to an estimate 830 million people worldwide.
So riddle me this: Why is it the majority of the world seems to be departing from urban decay, yet in Iraq the number of those living in slums has tripled since Operation Iraqi Freedom? I believe the mission was to: "Disarm Iraq of "Weapons of Mass Destruction"..... FAIL!: (5:00 & 5:50)
....."end Saddam Hussein's alleged support for terrorism" & ....."free the Iraqi people" Define "FREE" under these circumstances. The only thing we have freed the majority of the Iraqi people from is peace & prosperity.

The technology will be applied to accelerate DNA identification in "law enforcement, homeland securities, and defense communities". What would've required weeks of analysis in the past, now takes "less than an hour".
Ever since Russia announced it would help fuel the reactor public outcry has ensued.
Now it faces a new set of problems, the Stuxnet computer virus has spread to the PC's of staff, and infected the offline power stations mainframe. The virus has primarily been found in Iran, Indonesia, & the US. With the brunt taking place in Iran (60,000) & 2nd highest in Indonesia (10,000) The Uranium cetrifuge farm at Natanz has also been attacked due to the sheer volume in Iran. Anti-Virus bigwigs Symantec explain the complexity of the worm means it's unlikely to have been developed by a lone hacker, but rather a team of highly-trained software engineers. The virus is highly sophisticated, unloading itself from one PC to the next involuntarily unnoticed. Germany security firm Langner deemed it the "hack of the century". A representative for the anti-virus company Kaspersky called it "groundbreaking" One of the the things which stands out about Stuxnet, is its purpose to locate, penetrate, & control Industrial control systems also known as SCADA. It also looks for a programming interface to Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) digital computers used in industry & machine for automation & electromechanical processes. In other words, it seems like it was created to de-industrialize society, or more specifically Iran. If the virus thrives within the power station it could pose a serious threat to the citizens of Iran. As far as I'm concerned.... in any investigation, if you want to find the culprit, you first observe the victims enemy. No names necessary.
The controversial 3 strikes anti-piracy law Hadopi kicked into gear. Copyright holders will be giving out the IP-addresses of tens of thousands of infringers to ISP's. This figure will increase to millions within weeks. ISP's are then obligated to hand over the identities of the accounts to authorities within a week, or face a fine of 1500 euros per unidentified IP-address.
Once copyright infringers have received 3 strikes on the matter they will be reported to a judge. Judges will then make a decision on the proper punishment or penalties.
Trident Media Guard, a company known for polluting p2p with fake/corrupt material has been hired to observe and report illegal uploaders. ISP's have already begun receiving thousands of IP's. Copyright holders will start off slow, with 10,000 IP's a day, but will swiftly climb to 150,000 a day.
In the United States, a judges ruling declared ISP Time Warner will only have to divulge 28 ISP's a month (1 per day), due to the magnitude of the workload it will invoke.
It should come as no surprise that the presidents of today & tomorrow
are not the prolific speech writers they portray themselves as. They are merely puppets to the corporations which fuel their candidacy & lube the gears of global business. You can essentially program an android to walk the walk and add a dash of finesse to push your agenda on the people. For this reason alone I'm a firm believer that as we speak the president's of the future are being bred from the genome up, simply manipulations of genetically modified DNA. But I digress.... These figures don't speak for themselves, every word has been carefully scrutinized to purvey the ideals & memes the system wishes to slither into society. When the situation arises where said politician must make an off the cuff remark, things like this slip out:
If they could, I'm sure they would hard wire their message into the presidents brain, but unfortunately have to settle for teleprompters & hidden earpieces:
But of course, there remains those times, when the teleprompters are not convenient, and in those incidents candidates become "Stuttering Stanley's" and such:

The Aral Sea was the 4th largest lake of the world covering an area the size of Ireland, but has been reduced to a 10th of that size. Leaving behind 15,000 square miles of toxic salty lake bed. Sandstorms toss 150,000 tons of it into the air yearly, resulting in intensified climate extremes, and increased rates of cancer & lung disease in the region.
Below are some before & after aerial pictures spanning from 1973 to 2000:
Drifted across some videos of the International Space Station (ISS). Was truly "spaced out" as I couldn't take my eyes off this fantastic fete of human ingenuity.
SOME INTERESTING FACTS: -The largest artificial satellite, with a greater cross-sectional area than any previous space station.
-Can be seen from Earth with the naked eye
-ISS is a combination of several space stations: *American Freedom* *Soviet/Russian Mir-2* *European Columbus* & *Japanese Kibō* Budget restraints led to a joint venture and merge of multi-national programs.
-Power's provided by 16 solar arrays spanning an acre
-Previously it had cost $10,000 to ship a pint of fresh water to space, but with the "Water Recovery System" astronauts will be their own filtered urine
-a section of the ISS was set to be named after Stephen Colbert of The Colbert Report after a contest was held, but instead was restricted to a treadmill, thus astronauts are constantly walking all over the political commentator. Formerly his DNA was sent into space.
-weighs about one million pounds
-measures 361 feet end-to-end (the equivalent of a football field including end zones)
-ISS completes 15.7 orbits per day traveling at 17,239 mph
-is believed to be the most expensive object ever created ranging from $35 billion to $160 billion
-it's 55 foot robot arm will be able to lift 2220,000 pounds
-controlled by 52 computers and 8 miles of wire
-Japanese internet tycoon Daisuke Enomoto filed a lawsuit to have $21 million returned after he was promised a space walk he didn't receive due to health problems and rather was confined to the Russian sector of the ISS unbeknownst to the Russian crew.
When contemplating any aspects of our mundane lives in contrast to the sheer magnificence of the Universe, you just can't help but realize how insignificant we truly are. All the civil disputes & even wars matter not in the grandiose scheme of things. The Hiltons, Lohans, Kardashians, & other false demi-gods are irrelevant in the depths of darkness. Kinda puts all earth problems on hold for that split second of contemplation. Epiphany if you're lucky enough.....
An asteroid 6 miles in diameter (31,680 feet) landed in Chicxulub, or current day Mexico. This was not even the largest event of this kind, that would be attributed to a disaster which took place during the Permian-Triassic extinction (P-Tr) Though it doesn't receive much publicity due to the fact that it simply killed most insects.
Many argue that if 65 million years has gone by and such an event has not occurred, why worry? Because the possibility of history repeating itself is very real! On March 22, 2008 an asteroid 1,000 feet in diameter passed within 400,000 miles of earth (6 hours away) This may seem too far to matter, but in comparison to the cosmos this was all too close. If it had hit it would've detonated at estimates of 700 to 800 megatons, or 15 times the largest recorded nuclear explosion.
On June 14, 2002 a football field sized asteroid careening at 6.2 miles per second coming within 75,000 miles. It was discovered 3 days after the fact. Had it hit, the devastation may have doubled the 1908 Tunguska event an asteroid (or comet) half the size of a football stadium which struck in Siberia. Resulting in the equivalent of a 15 megaton blast 1,000 times the size of the Hiroshima bomb. Reaching approximate temperatures of 5,000 degrees. Knocking over 80 million trees over the course of 830 square miles.
2010 has encountered a slew of near misses: -(10/8/10) saw 2 separate asteroids on unrelated orbits: 1) RX30 which came 154,100 miles from earth (or 60% the distance to the moon) 32 to 65 feet across. & 2)RF12 passing 49,000 miles away. 20 to 46 feet across. Neither was noticed until 3 days before arrival.
-(4/8/10) GA6 a 71 foot wide asteroid streaking 9/10's the distance to the moon (223,000 miles)
-(2/3/10) NASA spots mysterious space debris, assumed to be the result of a collision by 2 asteroids
-(5/5/10) GU21, observed one month in advance traveling 2 million miles (8 moon distances) away
-(1/13/10) 2010 AL30, 30 to 50 feet across, passing by earth at 1/3 the distance to the moon. The closest NEO until the predicted flyby of the 50 foot asteroid 2007 XB23 in 2024
PREDICTIONS: Astro-science has kept its eyes on the skies carefully watching the movements of Apophis, which many predict will strike the earth or moon early in 2029, pass through a gravitational keyhole (small region of space which could alter trajectory) then slingshot back around and strike on April 13, 2036. Asteroid 1999 RQ36 has 2 potential opportunities to hit in 2182. It's estimated to be 1,837 feet across. Size of that magnitude contains the possibility of inflicting widespread devastation. Uncertainty still looms due to the variable of the Yarkovsky effect, which is a simple explanation for how solar heat can alter the axis of space debris.
Astronomers typically observe asteroids, only problem is they are more prone to view those which run parallel to us, as they are easier to find. Only problem: the ones that are coming straight towards us are nearly impossible to detect. Even harder to detect are those which travel in our orbit (aka: the ones which matter most) as they are backlit by the sun and difficult to pick out. Over 5,000 asteroids have currently been discovered in our orbit.
The Near Earth Object Preparedness Act was established in hopes of tracking 90% of the NEO's by 2020. Although the plan would require $1.1 billion for 15 years, a fee deemed too large in tough times.
Many asteroid impact avoidance methods have been proposed including elements ranging from lasers to nukes to deter an impact. One suggestion which often arises is the idea of nuclear pulse propulsion. An idea which has been used to power spacecrafts under Projects Orion, Daedalus, & Longshot. In theory it would use a nuclear blast to steer the NEO out of harms way.
The late astronomer, astrophysicist, and cosmologist Carl Sagan argued in his book "Pale Blue Dot", that these technologies would only be used for evil. Unfortunately he was all too right, Russia has endlessly tried to develop such a maneuver under Ivan's Hammer, which would try to steer asteroids at enemy targets.
-Firm belief in the religious theory of "young earth creationism" which asserts that dinosaurs roamed the earth between 5,700 & 10,000 years ago and even co-existed with humans. Despite the fact that fossils indicate dinos were wiped out by an asteroid 65 million years ago.
-New Hampshire's located in the Northwest
-Didn't know the countries involved in the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) (United States, Canada, & Mexico) and more importantly thought Africa was a country rather than a continent.
Not since Michael Jackson transformed into "Wacko Jacko" had their been a bigger fall from grace. Vulnerable citizens ripe for "change" believed the hype the media presented to them as record droves of sheeple advanced on the White House to observe the changing of the guard
Completely unaware that the possibility of a true savior capable of restoring stability to a once great nation was concealed from public eyes. (Ron Paul)
Obama came out swinging, blowing smoke in the form of false hope up the peoples rectums. Citizens desired it, and more importantly they deserved it. But all too soon, we learned that "all that glitters is not gold" as Obama continuously broke promise after promise.
As our economy now plummets simultaneously with Obama's approval the country will no longer bite their tongue and many who once supported our candidate for change our now actively voicing their disapproval.
Enter: Velma Hart, a common African-American, middle class wife & mother of 2. Additionally a veteran and chief financial officer for a veterans service organization. The perfect example of someone whose opinion should really matter, someone who lacks a corporate agenda, or bias in favor of foreign interest so rightfully needs not pull any punches. She has continuously supported Obama, but was not at all timid when declaring to his face that she's: "quite frankly exhausted, and tired of defending" him.
Graffiti artist Shepard Fairey famous for his global depiction of wrestler Andre the Giant with the caption "OBEY" the man responsible for the famed Obama-Hope illustration has now lost hope and believes his artwork has been misappropriated. Pointing out that younger voters "wanted somebody who was going to fight against the status quo" but realizes that Obama has not done that.
Thinking back, maybe these would be a bit more suitable:
Obama's Quote: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal [pause], endowed with certain unalienable rights: life and liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”
Quote from the Declaration: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
Either: -it was an honest mistake -he's not familiar with the work of our forefathers -or purposely distinguished his disagreement with their beliefs in a move to further stir the pot of religious turmoil as the government body & their media collabarators push the envelope of persuasion on the topic.
"Long before America was even an idea,this land of plenty was home to many peoples. The British & French, the Dutch & Spanish, to MEXICANS, to countless Indian tribes. We all shared the same land."
Only problem with that.... Mexico didn't exist in 1776 when the Declaration of Independence was written. The earliest recorded evidence of the American idea. Matter of fact, Mexico didn't exist until 1821, when New Spain declared independence.
In his early 2010 State of the Union address he confused the ideals of the Constitution with the Declaration of Independence.
Obama's Quote: "We find unity in our incredible diversity, drawing on the promise enshrined in our Constitution: the notion that we are all created equal…."
Quote from the Declaration: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
One must also consider who's truly at fault for these misquotes, Obama or his ghost writers?
The motion comes in regards to a lawsuit filed by EZ Texting against the wireless provider. EZ Texting asserts their "short code" clients services were terminated by the company after they signed a California Medical Marijuana Dispensary. Short Code texts work like this: a company could dispense info upon request simply by those who seek the info texting a specific word to a short number (i.e. text "CASH" to 4321 for 411)
Any landmark ruling in favor of neutrality of any kind thus becomes a gateway to future censorship. If we allow corporations to decide who receives restrictions, how long will it take for them to determine our views & opinions are the ultimate competition and are subject to suppression?
Political commentator Stephen Colbert gives a hilarious testimony to the subcommittee on immigration regarding his one-day stint as a migrant worker. He proposes work visas be given, which in turn could be used to tax migrant workers and keep track of who's entering and exiting the country.
A friendly neighbor meet & greet cleverly disguised as local treasure troves of clutter. In these trying times such events hold many purposes: -ditching dust shrouded eyesores -those looking to abandon infant toys in hopes of scoring newer models for the cherubs -lighten the load in response to home foreclosures -or maybe just in dire need of cash
Nowadays it's not as simple as setting up some tables in the driveway, cities now require pesky permits to snatch a piece of the action. $5 per/day in my city. In the cluster fucked concrete jungle, residents who don't have yards to sell out of must hit the sidewalk, and in that case require Vendors Permits, these can be quite pricey, ballpark= $100. It's yet another excuse to kick Americans when their down & rob coins from those who are currently pinching pennies. The credit industry looks to dig its talons into the mix as well, in new efforts to try and persuade citizens to accept credit cards at these shindigs. Hell, you can even convert your iphone/ipod into a credit card reader.
But what truly takes the cake, is the "Resale Roundup" initiative launched by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). Which will impose serious fines for yard sale negligence. Fines of up to $15 million. If those running these outfits haphazardly set a recalled item on the front lawn they could face up to $100,000 per infraction. Multiple infractions could net the jackpot $15 million. Citizens are expected to observe the CPSC Handbook to keep up to date on current recalled items.
Stating, "any entity, no matter how many tentacles it has... has a soul".
The Vatican will not take up an official position on the existence of extra-terrestrial lifeforms, but that has not stopped many of its scientists from speaking out on the subject. Such as Father Jose Funes, director of the Vatican Observatory, who said: the possibility of "brother extraterrestrials" wasn't incompatible with Catholic theology.
CNN's Rick Sanchez, who previously argued the Ugandan soccer bombing, which left 74 people dead, was helpful, now declares the 10th amendment of the Constitution to be racist.
"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people" -10th amendment
In essence, many states are fighting the good fight in hopes of restoring certain civil freedoms back to the hands of the people. Unfortunately with history in mind, the courts haven't been so kind when it comes to these proposed reversals of bias legislation. Such is the case with the Nullification Crisis of 1832, when Andrew Jackson denied South Carolina's Ordinance of Nullification which requested the overturn of the Tariffs of 1828 & 1832, which protected industry in the midst of an economic downturn.
Big Pharma's latest move to obliterate it's competition will see the prohibition of elements which have been used by Shaman & Medicine Men traditionally for holistic healing & the curing of various ailments.
In 2004 the European Directive on Traditional Herbal Medicinal Products (THMPD) was enacted. It put restrictions on products which were once traded freely. It required all herbs to be put through rigorous tests despite the fact that most have been used medicinally since the dawn of man. The cost of these procedures ranged from £80,000 ($125,000) to £120,000 ($187,000) per herb. With each herb of a compound being treated separately.
Many medicinal plants indigenous to the United States & Canada have become endangered. Even still, the United States has enforced similar restriction and will likely follow suit in the war on ancient cures, assuredly in a much more subtle fashion.
