Atmosphere Above Japan Heated Rapidly Before M9 Earthquake
Infrared emissions above the epicenter increased dramatically in the days before the devastating earthquake in Japan, say scientists.

Geologists have long puzzled over anecdotal reports of strange atmospheric phenomena in the days before big earthquakes. But good data to back up these stories has been hard to come by.
In recent years, however, various teams have set up atmospheric monitoring stations in earthquake zones and a number of satellites are capable of sending back data about the state of the upper atmosphere and the ionosphere during an earthquake.
Last year, we looked at some fascinating data from the DEMETER spacecraft showing a significant increase in ultra-low frequency radio signals before the magnitude 7 Haiti earthquake in January 2010
Today, Dimitar Ouzounov at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Centre in Maryland and a few buddies present the data from the Great Tohoku earthquake which devastated Japan on 11 March. Their results, although preliminary, are eye-opening.
Powerful Earthquake Strikes off Japan, Felt in Tokyo
The Intel Hub
January 1, 2012
TOKYO (BNO NEWS) — A powerful earthquake struck southeast of the Japanese main island of Honshu on early Sunday afternoon, seismologists said, but no tsunami alert was issued. Shaking was felt in Tokyo.
The 7.0-magnitude earthquake at 2.27 p.m. local time (0527 GMT) was centered about 486 kilometers (302 miles) south-southwest of Tokyo. It struck about 370 kilometers (229 miles) deep, making it a deep earthquake, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA).
No tsunami warnings were issued because of the depth of the earthquake, JMA said. Shaking could be felt in Tokyo, the capital of Japan, witnesses said.

Six Natural Alternatives To Ibuprofen
by Deborah Mitchell
Phoenix Alternative Medicine Examiner
May 30, 2011
Boswellia
The saying used to be, “Take two aspirin and call me in the morning,” but many people turn to ibuprofen to relieve inflammation, pain, and fever. This nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), available both over the counter and by prescription, is commonly used to treat arthritis, menstrual symptoms, headache, general aches and pains, and various inflammatory conditions.
Side effects of ibuprofen
Although many people think of ibuprofen as being rather benign, it is associated with an increased risk of heart and circulation problems, including stroke and heart attack, as well as gastrointestinal problems, such as bleeding or perforation of the stomach or intestinal tract. These risks increase the longer you take the drug, although the length of time until it affects any one individual varies depending on their overall health, use of other medications, age, and other factors.
Natural alternatives to ibuprofen
Many studies have been done on various natural pain killers and anti-inflammatories that can be used as alternatives to ibuprofen. They generally have mild to no side effects. Here are a few you may want to consider. You should always consult a knowledgeable health-care professional before starting a new treatment program.
Boswellia: This anti-inflammatory remedy comes from the Boswellia serrata tree that grows in India. The anti-inflammatory properties of boswellia are attributed to the boswellic acids that it contains. These acids improve blood flow to the joints and prevent inflammatory white cells from entering damaged tissue. Also known as “Indian frankincense,” boswellia is available as a supplement and a topical cream. For pain and inflammation, a suggested dose is 450 to 750 mg daily for three to four weeks.
Capsaicin: The active component of chili peppers, capsaicin is often used topically to nerve, muscle, and joint pain. It works by interfering with substance P, a chemical that helps transmit pain signals to the brain. It is available as a topical cream or gels in several different potencies (most often, 0.025% to 0.075%) and is usually applied three to four times daily. It can cause some stinging and burning initially, but it typically subsides with use.
Cat’s claw: Uncaria tomentosa, or cat’s claw, also known as una de gato, grows in South America. It contains an anti-inflammatory agent that blocks the production of the hormone prostaglandin, which contributes to inflammation and pain. Suggested doses are 250 to 1,000 mg capsules one to three times daily. Taking too high a dose may cause diarrhea.
Curcumin: Curcumin is a component of the herb turmeric, and it is a potent painkiller that can block proteins in the body that cause inflammation and also stops the neurotransmitter called substance P from sending pain message to the brain. Studies show that curcumin is effective in easing the chronic pain of rheumatoid arthritis. A suggested dose is 400 to 600 mg of curcumin taken three times daily for pain and inflammation.
Omega-3 fatty acids: The omega-3 fatty acids have anti-inflammatory properties that have proven beneficial for people who suffer with arthritis, other inflammatory joint conditions, and inflammatory bowel diseases. Omega-3s also reduce cardiovascular risk, which is especially helpful for people with rheumatoid arthritis, which carries an increased risk for cardiovascular disease. A suggested dose of omega-3 fatty acids as fish oil is 1,000 mg daily.
White willow bark: This herb is the predecessor of aspirin. White willow bark contains salicin, which converts to salicylic acid in the stomach. White willow bark is much less irritating to the stomach than the synthetic drug, aspirin, while it works to relieve pain, inflammation, and fever. A suggested dose is 1 to 2 dropperfuls of white willow bark tincture daily.

Debris Field The Size Of California From Japanese Tsunami Begins To Litter West Coast
The Intel Hub
December 28, 2011
The fact that no federal agency is preparing for this huge wave of radiated garbage shows just how insane the leaders of this once great country have become.
A massive debris field the size of California that is surely fully radiated is on its way to the West Coast, yet the corporate-controlled media(see Project Mockingbird) instead focuses on Iran and its nuclear program.
The West Coast of the United States will be hit with radiated debris from Japan, and the corporate media will either heavily downplay the dangers, or completely ignore them all together.
Consider the fact that a recent medical journal study has shown that upwards of 14,000 people may have died WITHIN the United States due to the Fukushima nuclear disaster:
An estimated 14,000 excess deaths in the United States are linked to the radioactive fallout from the disaster at the Fukushima nuclear reactors in Japan, according to a major new article in the December 2011 edition of the International Journal of Health Services.
This is the first peer-reviewed study published in a medical journal documenting the health hazards of Fukushima.
Authors Joseph Mangano and Janette Sherman note that their estimate of 14,000 excess U.S. deaths in the 14 weeks after the Fukushima meltdowns is comparable to the 16,500 excess deaths in the 17 weeks after the Chernobyl meltdown in 1986.
Initial reports stated that it would take up to a year for these partly radiated debris to hit the west coast, but as the video report above shows, debris have already begun to hit the coast.
Debris in British Columbia has caused local citizens and officials to claim that this is the largest quantity of debris they have ever seen that is actually moving much faster than expected.
We now live in a world where government and nuclear industry officials continually downplay the dangers of nuclear power while at the same time thousands are being devastated by its effects.

Mobile fluoride vans to target communities that voted to remove chemical from public water supply
by Ethan A. Huff
Natural News
December 27, 2011
(NaturalNews) Back in October, the Pinellas County, Fla., Commission voted 4 – 3 to stop adding artificial fluoride chemicals to the county’s municipal water supply, which serves roughly 700,000 residents (http://www.naturalnews.com/033801_f…). But now local health officials are suggesting that the county purchase a mobile fluoride van as an alternative, which would drive around town and administer fluoride and other conventional dental services directly to children.
Believe it or not, the St. Petersburg Times reports that the Pinellas County Commission will soon vote on whether or not to purchase this mobile fluoride van for $532,339 in taxpayer funds, which is more than twice the $205,000 a year the county has been spending to purchase fluoride chemicals for the water supply. The Commission had asked the county’s Health and Human Services department to come up with a new way to use the $205,000 for other dental purposes, and the mobile fluoride van was their proposal.
“There’s no way I’m going to support a $532,000 item,” said Commissioner John Morroni, who was one of the members who voted in favor of ending water fluoridation. “You can buy a lot of toothpaste and help the dentists disburse it.”
Morroni is right, of course — if the county is persistent in making sure as many children as possible are fluoridated, there are much less expensive ways to distribute it than to purchase a half-million-dollar van. But the van’s proponents say it is the “most efficient option” for making sure children do not escape getting their fluoride.
Never has it been proven that consuming fluoride in any way helps improve teeth, though, despite what health officials claim. And adding fluoride chemicals to water, which is their preferred method, is a very poor method of delivery even if the chemical did help teeth. This is because 99 percent or more of flouride ends up on lawns or flowing down the drain, rather than actually being ingested.
There is also no way to regulate the ingestion of the so-called “optimum” level of fluoride because individuals drink varying amounts of fluoridated water, and are also exposed to it in unknown amounts through their skin whenever they wash their hands or take a shower. In other words, water fluoridation is one of the most unscientific, unsubstantiated, and ridiculous “public health” schemes to ever be devised, and it is nothing more than forced medication of the masses.
Be sure to check out the laundry list of diseases and health conditions that can develop as a result of fluoride exposure:

6.6 Magnitude Earthquake Jolts Russia-Mongolia Border Region
The Intel Hub
December 27, 2011
MOSCOW (BNO NEWS) — A strong earthquake struck southwestern Siberia near the border with Mongolia on late Tuesday evening, seismologists said. It was not immediately known if there was damage or if there were casualties.
The 6.6-magnitude earthquake at 10.21 p.m. local time (1521 GMT) was centered about 94 kilometers (58 miles) east of Kyzyl, the capital of the Tuva Republic in Russia. It struck about 6.9 kilometers (4.3 miles) deep, making it a shallow earthquake, according to the United States Geological Survey (USGS).
There were no immediate reports of damage or casualties following the earthquake.

The top 10 most censored Natural News stories of 2011
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
Natural News
December 26, 2011
(NaturalNews) Ah, 2011 was a wonderful year for censored news, wasn’t it? We learned a lot this year about the FDA, the CDC, evil corporations and fruit cereal that contain no fruit. The problem is, the mainstream media never bothered to report any of it. Or if they did touch the stories, they distorted them to fit their own corporate agendas.
Here are the top ten most censored Natural News stories we covered this year:
#1 – The Rawesome Foods raid
In this act of food tyranny, the FDA teamed up with California Dept. of Agriculture thugs to conduct an armed raid on a private buyer’s club where they confiscated milk, cheese and watermelons. The mainstream media barely even touched this story, hoping no one would notice:
http://www.naturalnews.com/033220_R…
#2 – The Fukushima catastrophe
There’s nothing like a little radiation to brighten your day, huh? When the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear facility melted down, the mainstream media pretended the world’s greatest nuclear catastrophe was no big deal:
http://www.naturalnews.com/031686_n…
#3 – The USDA’s mass murder of birds and animals
This year, NaturalNews reported on the USDA’s “Bye Bye Blackbird” program which involves the agency conducting mass murder of birds, foxes, owls, raccoons and many other animals:
http://www.naturalnews.com/031076_U…
#4 – Natural breakfast cereals found loaded with GMOs
The mainstream media almost never reports on GMOs. That’s because, as you might have guessed, their advertisers are all the evil food companies that sell genetically modified, pesticide-ridden foods to the public:
http://www.naturalnews.com/033838_b…
#5 – Vaccines continue killing people, but the media won’t report it
You can always count on the mainstream media to lie about vaccines. But while they lie, people die, and 2011 was no different. This grandma died from swine flu several weeks after receiving the swine flu vaccine: http://www.naturalnews.com/031010_s…
The influenza vaccine was also found to cause infant seizures and other neurological problems: http://www.naturalnews.com/031075_v…
And Japanese children were killed by vaccines this year as well:
http://www.naturalnews.com/031616_v…
In fact, the Institute of Medicine openly admitted in 2011 that MMR vaccines cause the measles!
http://www.naturalnews.com/033447_I…
#6 – General Mills blueberry and pomegranate cereals found to contain no fruit
The press did actually pick up on this story a bit, but instead of crediting NaturalNews as the source, they simply ripped off the story and ran it as their own. One mainstream news channel featured a female “investigator” who claimed to have gone into the grocery store and “discovered” these General Mills cereals had no fruit. Predictably, they gave no credit to myself (the Health Ranger) or NaturalNews for actually doing the research and breaking the story:
http://www.naturalnews.com/031053_G…
See the video: www.FoodInvestigations.com
#7 – CDC admits fluoride levels in the public water supply are dangerously high
2011 is the year that the CDC finally admitted fluoride is dangerous in the water supply. The mainstream media refused to cover that story, of course, and spent its time pretending that fluoride chemicals are somehow GOOD for public health!
http://www.naturalnews.com/030952_C…
#8 – Clinical trials invalidated by influence of the mind
The entire basis from which “scientific” medicine is validated was called into question in 2011 with new findings about the power of the mind to override biochemistry. All of Big Pharma’s clinical trials, in other words, may be utterly invalid:
http://www.naturalnews.com/031451_d…
#9 – HPV vaccines found contaminated with DNA / RNA of HPV
Gardasil vials were tested and found to be contaminated with the very viral fragments that the vaccine industry claims cause cervical cancer. The vaccines, in other words, were spreading the very disease they claimed to prevent!
http://www.naturalnews.com/033585_G…
#10 – CDC discredited with fraud indictment
This is the year that the CDC’s web of fraud began to unravel, starting with former CDC scientist Poul Thorsen who was indicted for money laundering fraud. And the money he allegedly laundered was — guess what? — CDC grant money for researching vaccines!
http://www.naturalnews.com/032216_T…
Meanwhile, 2011 was also the year the CDC finally admitted flu vaccines don’t even work! They “wear off,” the CDC claims, which means the entire mythology of vaccine-induced immunology has to be completely scrapped.
http://www.naturalnews.com/032558_f…
#11 – The National Defense Authorization Act
Okay, here’s a bonus item on this list, bringing it to eleven. The NDAA, passed by both the House and the Senate, would gut the Bill of Rights and allow Americans to be arrested, indefinitely detained, interrogated as prisoners in secret military prisons, and even assassinated by the U.S. military — all legally! The mainstream media predictably lied about this story and claimed it didn’t impact Americans. That turned out to be a complete fabrication:
