36. The power that has been gained is not simply
Related to corporate financing of the elections.

Although the corporate financing as such is part and parcel of the de-empowerment of the indiviual,
to a great degree, the average individual has lost his pwoer to a confluence of regimentation.

We are TOLD that science is the new religion - and then barraged with ads for the latest medications and vaccines. People are waking up and beginning to realize that alternative health
practices may be far more likely to help their particular medical condition.

People are beginning to wake up to the fact that the first wave of scientifically proven
"advancements" has come at a cost - the pesticides, fertilizers that were part of the "Green Revolution" can also bring about impaired an immune system, chronic health conditions like Parkinson's and MS and cancer.

With the recent pet food scare, people are now doubting that these "regulatory" agencies are anything special. I am surprised at the numebrs of people that still think that it is only our pet food oversight that is minimal - these are people who are gonna be sucker punched by many of the worst products that the FDA and other agencies are approving. (it has been bad enough to watch friends mourn their sick and dying pets - what happens when we get to watch first hand the famines that will occur beause of genetically modified foods, weeds, bacteria, viruses?)
