HELP WANTED

HELP WANTED: Apply to be the new DG

Long ago there used to be a writer calling herself "Dukkha Girl." She disappeared, came back, faded again. We love DG. Where is she today? One can only imagine the fate of suburban motherhood or rural farm life with cats. Maybe, just maybe, she became a nun, forsaking the lower-life of householders for the high-life of striving full-time for the ultimate goal of nirvana. Who knows?

Help wanted. Inquire within (in the Comments)

We're sure she'll eventually be in touch to tell us. In the meantime, there's an attention-[whur] we imagine in the role, now that the original DG's been excluded. But this gal's branded a total "poser" and banned. It's got so bad, she lost her business.

I'm not a pose-er. I'm a trained model.

Beloved vegan yogini with a penchant for makeup, what will become of her? Does anyone out there have Cali Vibes Who is the future influencer, the next MrsBeast, doing yoga, eating at Cena Vegan?

She or he must exist out there. Look, there's Luke_7. If only that person would contact us here. Eris is not the most punk rock girl in the world. Will she never learn? For all we know, s/he's reading this right now ready for a close up, an unsung genius with an attitude. Contact us below in the Comments Section. Yes, you.

How to PROFIT from US WARS: invest

Jake Tran, 1/2/20; Scott Ritter; I. Rony, Ashley Wells, Pfc. Sandoval (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

First kill animals, drink their blood (cooked as au jus) then kill humans and profit.

The State of "Israel" already has a homeland, and it's called the Jewish Autonomous Oblast or JAO. Anyone can look it up and move there.

The viciously profitable BUSINESS of war

(Jake Tran) 😈 There’s something special about war. Over the past 3,400 years of human history, we’ve spent only 268 years in peace.

Milk war for money.

But the business of war goes much further back than that, with the first one ever recorded in 2,700 BCE in Mesopotamia. This makes the industry of war have a longer track record than the information industry, education, and banking combined.

HOW? Confessions of an Economic Hit Man

War is the ultimate discipline of any government. War is to government what life and death is to humans. If nations can meet the challenge of war, they’ll survive. If it can’t, they’ll perish. War can also be looked at as a racket.

If you can help governments in their primal act of survival to remain in power by offering raw materials, weapons, soldiers, services to soldiers, you’re going to be the government’s best friend.

Normal business profit margins are around 10%, give or take. But war-time profits? We’re talking 20%, 60%, 100%, 300%, 800%, the sky is the limit! DuPont for example during WWI, during the war-time years, their profits increased by more than 950%!

Or take the Central Leather Company at that time, in the three years before the war, profits were around $3.5m. In 1916? $15m. During the Iraq War, often called the most privatized war in history.

Don't start having second thoughts now, Bibi. When you sell your soul, you have to ask the Satan to guide you. - No, Joe, I was just thinking how we could kill ALL of them AND keep me out of jail.

The CIA works for corporate profits, not for US.

KBR, the main logistics supplier contractor for the US, we’re talking food, facilities, and so on, got a whopping $39.5 billion in Iraq-related contracts KBR’s parent company, Halliburton’s CEO was paid $42.6m in 2004 CACI’s CEO made a fairly decent $22.2m in 2004 TITAN? He takes the crown with a $47.2m income in 2004 and 2005.

If we look throughout history -- funding and supplying the enemy is all in a day's work as a war profiteer in the war industry: Customers are all the governments of the world.

It's you and me against China, Dolly. - O.K.

You can’t make war-time profits...if there isn’t a war. The general public usually never wants to go to war. Now is the time to lobby for war, push for more conflicts, max out campaign contributions, get the mainstream media involved.

• This film and advice is, of course, ironic. That is to say, we mean the opposite. The Buddha taught that there are five kinds of "wrong" livelihood: business in weapons, people (slaves), animal flesh (meat), intoxicants (alcohol, drugs), and poisons. A wise person avoids these as grave wrongs, harmful karma, instead living abundantly by "right" livelihood.

Coffee causes CANCER, Starbucks sued

The Associated Press (ap.org via mail.com); Editors, Wisdom Quarterly

Green tea is much healthier and also has caffeine to feed addiction to morning stimulants.

Californians to take their coffee with a  CANCER WARNING

Proposition 65 warning sign at LA Starbucks

LOS ANGELES, California - An L.A. judge has determined that coffee companies must carry an ominous cancer warning label because of a dangerous, carcinogenic chemical produced in the coffee bean roasting process.

Superior Court Judge Elihu Berle said Wednesday that Starbucks and other companies have failed to show that benefits from drinking coffee outweigh risks.

I'm addicted to Starbucks, caffeine, sugar.

He ruled in an earlier phase of trial that companies had not shown that the threat from the carcinogenic chemical was insignificant.

 

The Council for Education and Research on Toxics, a nonprofit group, sued Starbucks and 90 other companies under a state law that requires warnings on a wide range of chemicals that can cause cancer.

Cancer is a Bitch (Gail Kanap Baker)

One such chemical is called acrylamide, the result of browning foods and a carcinogen present in coffee.
 

"Defendants [like Starbucks] failed to satisfy their burden of proving...that consumption of coffee confers a benefit to human health," Judge Berle wrote in his proposed ruling.

The coffee industry had claimed the chemical was present at "harmless levels" and should be exempt from the law because it results naturally from the burning process that makes beans more flavorful. It also argued... More

Flu Epidemic: Media Terror

Pandemic alert level rises
The World Health Organization ups its swine flu warning as Mexico's death toll jumps. » What is a "Phase 4" alert? (Human transmission).
Travel to Mexico discouraged
Ground zero

I. Ronic (WQ Special Correspondent)

MEXICO CITY, Mexico -- Be afraid, very afraid. Fear, that's the most important thing. Fear prevents illness. Fear feels like you're doing something useful. Obey authorities. Don't question. Instead, help out: demand your local government purchase flu vaccines from large pharmaceutical corporations. Big Pharma is your friend. We're here for you. Price should be no object. Do it for the kids.

Anyway, "price gouging" helps the economy. And you do want to help the economy, don't you?? And gouging is in the eye of the gouger. Discourage travel. Sorry, no refunds. So don't bother at the ticket counter. Just be glad you didn't go. Stay home. Avoid other people. Watch more TV. Shop the Web. We have a great special on super-duper face masks. Nothing, after all, sells like fear. So be afraid, be very afraid...yes, even more afraid than that.
