Alex Jones Show Special Report – Food: The Ultimate Secret Exposed
Monday May 8th 2012 Alex Jones addresses one of the darkest modes of power the globalists have used to control the population– food. The adulteration of the planet’s staple crops, genetically-altered species and intentionally-altered water, food and air all amount to a Eugenics operation to weaken the masses and achieve full spectrum domination. People the world over, but especially in the United States are under chemical attack. Deadly and dangerous toxins ranging from Aspartame to Fluoride, GMO, Mercury-tainting, pesticides, cross-species chimeras, plastic compounds in chicken, high fructose corn syrup, cloned meat, rBGH and new aggressive GM species of salmon have all entered into our diets and environments– whether we want it or not. Many of these substances knowingly cause or are linked with sterility, low birth weight, miscarriages, smaller or deformed offspring, as well as organ failure, cancer, brain tumors and Death itself, what you DON’T know about on your grocery shelves can hurt you. Further, Alex demonstrates that a pattern of buried studies, fraudulent statistics and a will reduce global population all point to the deliberate criminal poisoning of the food and water supply. Suffer no fools and warn those you love about need to stop their food from being used as a Depopulation-weapon against us all. Please share this important video with everyone, so the truth about these substances can be known. www.infowars.com www.infowars.com www.prisonplanet.tv www …

Q&A: I’ve been exposed to asbestos…?
Question by poppa: I’ve been exposed to asbestos…?
I’ve removed about 1000 vinyl-asbestos tiles, without keeping them in tact (they were breaking)…
I hear that there is a risk when exposed to any amount of asbestos, but it was a one-time thing that lasted about 10 days…
I don’t know how much asbestos is contained in these tiles and the black adhesive under them, but I’m seriously starting to worry…
Will I be OK, or should I be worrying for the next 10-50 years of my life while an asbestos related illness begins to form?

Answer by gokart121
Well, that’s debatable, lawyers make hay while the sun shines out of asbestos claims, but at the end of the day, you’re gonna die of something anyway. A better question would be if you were knowingly exposed to it, or how much of it, for how long, are you suffering from it, or were you just in the same zip code as some asbestos, and trying to ride a health claim? Hmmm….

Mesothelioma And Asbestosis Hard To Diagnosis In Asbestos Exposed Smokers

In 02 I lost a very dear friend to liver cancer. One of the many things she (Estralita Overstreet) taught me was that even during the most adverse and stressful times, there are blessings. And those are the things we should focus on. Over the last three years I have been dealing with dyspensia caused by asbestosis. I wrote this song with Estralita in mind. With the drive to deal with asbestosis with as much dignity as she dealt with liver cancer. I miss you sister/friend. Skeet

Answer by 07_Shelby_GT500
Get yourself to a doctor. A one time exposure probably isnt’ a problem; the people who developed conditions like asbestosis and mesothelioma were exposed to asbestos over the course of months and years. If nothing else, the doctor will want to begin a program of monitoring your respiratory system for signs of damage resulting from your exposure.
On the other hand, if you were exposed to a cloud of asbestos dust and didn’t have protection (like a respirator specifically approved for work with asbestos (most off the shelf respirators are not approved for this)) there was definitely negligence on the part of someone, either your employer or the contractor brought on to handle the abatement work. You should talk to a lawyer as well.

Today I think I was exposed to Asbestos So after a little debate I called the DOL am I wrong?
Question by superjakeny: Today I think I was exposed to Asbestos So after a little debate I called the DOL am I wrong?
I called the DOL because after two experienced people were almost positive it was asbestos. Before I called we went through the proper chain of command we got in contact with the company who did the abatement and they told us they would clean it in the morning here I have been pretty much rolling around in it all day I am kinda curious if I have been exposed. Meanwhile the place we were working is already starting to clean it up the people were untrained janitors. So after a little debate I decided to call The department of Labor who after hearing what I had to say thought it was necessary for him to come and inspect the situation himself ( At Five o clock I am sure he was on his was home soon) So my Boss pretty much told us were were wrong to call them and we should have just let the company handling the abatement deal with it. Am I wrong???

I’ve been exposed to Asbestos, how concerned should i be??
Question by Josh: I’ve been exposed to Asbestos, how concerned should i be??
When i was a freshman in college we used to play volleyball in our room knocking the cottage cheese asbestos off of the ceiling. Sometimes the floor would be littered with it. Unfortunately at the time i did not know this was asbestos. We used to do this maybe 3 times a week or so. Id say about half the time our room was ventilated with windows open. I was in this room for 7 months.
So im wondering how concerned should i be about getting lung cancer or Mesothamlimia. Ive read a bunch over the last week that you can get mesothalimia(sry spelling may be wrong) from 1-3 months exposure but theres not figures on how likely you are to get it. Does anyone have any thoughts on my chances of getting Mesothalimia or lung cancer?
Thanks

Asbestos does not smell, so you were more likely exposed to mold. Even if there was asbestos in the brakes or heat shield, your exposure would not be measurable.

Were me and my child exposed to asbestos?
Question by : Were me and my child exposed to asbestos?
We live in an apartment complex with indoor, non ventilated hallways. We were walking to the bottom floor to the laundry room. we were already in the hallway we noticed the matinince men were taking down ceiling tiles. we had to walk thorugh the whole hallway to get to the laundry room. There was dust and pieces on the floor. The building was built some time between 70 and 80. the ceiling tiles are the rectangle white kind that are commonly used in schools now a days.
also if we may have been exposed, is it enough to worry about? we were in the hallway about 20 seconds. if it spilled in the laundry room (which is closed w/ the a door ) then it would have been more like three or four minutes. thanks

Answer by BobBy In NH
No….your ok. And I highly doubt it was absestos anyways. Ceilings tiles look like that, but trust me, they are fine. If you are worried, get a sample and take it to your local board of health to have it tested. They will be at your city or town hall.

Could i be exposed to asbestos?
Question by : Could i be exposed to asbestos?
This may be a stupid question…? Recently, there was a problem in my apartment where my heat was not turning off. The radiator is on my ceiling…I woke up this morning to find parts of the ceiling falling down & water dripping all over everything. The landlord came & fixed the heat & its not leaking anymore but i don’t know much about asbestos but I’ve heard its in building materials. Is this a risk? (I’m also pregnant)
Best answer:
Answer by Artemisc
Probably not. In order to be hazardous, it has to be floating int he air. Like if you have asbestos in the walls, and someone went at it with a power saw and a load of it ended up in the air. And a single exposure wouldn’t do much. I wouldn’t worry about it.
