"Hot Coffee" - How Corporations Rule (video)

HotCoffeeTheMovie.com, Wisdom Quarterly

(HBO, Susan Saladoff) Stories we're told by corporate media hide shocking truths.

Is Justice Being Served?

["Tort reform? What's tort reform? "Forced arbitration and 'frivolous' lawsuits," now that's G.W. Bush and Dick "Halliburton" Cheney will not stand for!] Seinfeld mocked it. Letterman ranked it in his Top 10 list. And more than 15 years later, its infamy continues.

Everyone knows the McDonald’s coffee case. It has been routinely cited as an example of how citizens have taken advantage of America’s corporations and legal system, but is that a fair rendition of the facts?

Hot Coffee reveals what really happened to Stella Liebeck, the 81-year-old Albuquerque woman who spilled scalding coffee on herself and sued McDonald’s, while exploring how and why the case garnered so much media attention, who funded the effort, and to what end.

How corporate America destroyed our rights in court

[Hint: Corporations fabricated AstroTurf organizations to undermine our legal standing against them in court whenever they are liable for anything from irresponsibility, to criminal negligence, to rape. Yes, rape. KBR/Halliburton got a case against them redirected to private arbitration in the case of the group rape of Jamie Leigh Jones.] See the film, and decide who really profited from spilling hot coffee.

Jamie Leigh Jones, featured in "Hot Coffee" was raped by corporate (Halliburton/KBR) forces in Iraq (Mother Jones/Twylah.com).

Why, Why, Why?
Wisdom Quarterly (ANALYSIS)

Why was the coffee so hot (190 degrees or just 22 degrees below boiling) even after 700 complaints to McDonalds? Three reasons: it was corporate policy. But why? To mask with heat the flavor of the cheap coffee beans used by McDonald's and, moreover, to keep people from asking for a second free cup of coffee because by the time the first one cools, most customers have already left the fast food outlet.

Why was Pfc. Jamie Jones gang raped so badly by US soldiers ahd Halliburton/KBR contractors that she needed reconstructive surgery? Rape is a perk for our troops in Iraq -- homosexual sodomy of fellow US soldiers, sexual assault of nearly all female troops and support staff, rape and murder of Iraqi girls (maybe boys and prisoners, too). Don't ask, don't tell. It's torture, it puts people (prisoners as well as soldiers) in their place, keeps the hierarchy/patriarchy and our culture of violence alive. It's CIA policy.

"I'm lovin' it?" "You know you like it hot."

Krisiloff Anti-Inflammatory Diet Revolution

Women with "manly" health problems from treatment

Many go without treatment when their medical problems involve stigmatized body parts, such as the bowels; journalist Katie Couric's on-air colon cancer screening in 2000 was an effort to combat that stigma surrounding the disease that killed her husband. But when symptoms are traditionally associated with "manliness," the shame is often rooted in a fear of being unfeminine or undesirable. [5 Reasons Being a Woman is Good For Your Health]

Milton Krisiloff, M.D. (Scribd.com)
The Prevention for Urinary Problems. Heartburn, Arthritis, & Potentially Prostate Cancer
For the last 30 years, Dr. Krisiloff has personally cared for and cured more than 10,000 patients -- men and women -- who suffer from chronic urological problems.

With a simple holistic approach that has no risk, he has seen cures in close to 90% of his patients who suffer from these problems.

Literally 90 million men and women in the United States experience these urinary problems at one time or another. Estimates are that one quarter of all visits to urologists annually are from these complaints.

Yet until now, university scientists and physicians will readily admit they have no known explanation for these problems, nor do they know how to effectively treat these problems.

With the Krisiloff Diet, a [natural and easy] cure is now possible for the problems of prostatitis, epididymitis, falsely elevated PSA blood tests, bed wetting in children, urgency incontinence in women, urethral syndrome (in Dr. Krisiloff’s opinion this is falsely diagnosed as interstitional cystitis), increased urination at night (which greatly disturbs sleep), and frequent urination in the day (greatly affecting quality of life). Unnecessary prostate surgery for men can be avoided and unnecessary surgery for women for urine incontinence can also be avoided.

• What causes these symptoms? Alcohol, soda/coffee (caffeine), hot spices.

All of this can be accomplished at absolutely zero cost, with absolutely zero harm to the patient. And the results can be seen in as little as four to eight weeks.

With its simple holistic approach, the Krisiloff Diet could supplant all the expensive [allopathic] methods now used. It could become the standard initial treatment for so many common medical problems, often circumventing costly and ineffective traditional methods.

The savings for healthcare would be enormous -- close to $40 billion dollars by some estimates -- once it is realized [and admitted by doctors happy to use the most costly and therefore profitable therapies] that expensive medications and surgeries are not necessary.

Dr. Krisiloff has empitically discovered the “holy grail” explanation for inflammation in the body. The discovery is that caffeine, alcohol, and hot spices are responsible for causing chronic inflammation in the body.

They specifically lead to chronic urinary problems as well as other common medical condition such as gastroesophigeal reflux disease (GERD), arthritis, sinusitis, and headaches. There is even reason to believe that they are responsible for some cases of prostate cancer, diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer’s, and colon and breast cancers. More

America's favorite drink (liquid energy)

(detoxyourworld.com)

America, of course, is a continent, not a country. While the US empire may sway and undermine the rest of the world, it does not represent the Americas.

The Amazon jungle is an amazing (and some say created, i.e., terraformed) factory of amazing alkaloids. The world's favorite stimulants come from South American jungles and highlands: chocolate (cacao), coffee (cafe), coca (cocaine).

The favorite drink on this continent is not Coca Cola (which originally contained addictive and destructive white cane sugar and habit-forming coca leaves chewed in the Peruvian Andes for energy). Now chemical-corn-glucose-and-formaldehyde-with-methyl-alcohol (which is what aspartame breaks down into) laden soda may be consumed corroding plastic and aluminum containers, yet it is not the favored drink.

Coffee may have conquered the world with detrimetal health consequences that are repeatedly obscured by "new scientific findings" to suggest rancid, roasted seeds could possibly be a good idea to consume even in small quantities.

The continental favorite is Guayaki, known everywhere as Yerba Mate (Ilex paraguariensis) a subtropical species of Holly.

According to ABC, Yerba Mate is now being marketed in the US as an energy-boosting diet tea. It contains various minerals, including phosphorous, iron, calcium, and vitamins C, B1, and B2. But it also contains caffeine (and, in limited amounts, theophylline and theobromine), which are all stimulants.

Some manufacturers of Yerba Mate say their brands contain a caffeinelike substance that makes one less jittery called "mateine." But it seems that chemically, it is identical to caffeine. The bottom line: It provides a hit of energy, but that hit is due to caffeine.

Warning: Research has found chronic consumption of this tea over years may increase the risk of head and neck cancers [although Argentinians, Brazilians, and others disagree]. Source

Let them In: How Brazilians Could Help the U.S. Economy
(TIME.com) Everyone should love Brazilian tourists. They spend more per capita than any other nationality. Worldwide, Brazilian tourists shell out an average of $43.3 million a day, dropping a gigantesco $1.4 billion last April alone, up 83% from the same period last year, according to the Brazil's Central Bank. In 2010, 1.2 million Brazilians visited the United States, injecting $5.9 billion into the U.S. economy. Even exclusive ski resorts in Vermont are scrambling to hire Portuguese-speaking ski instructors to meet the unexpected and rapidly growing demand from thousands of adventurous Brazilians...
