"So, welcome to spam Filters for Your Brain. Let's get started with the first mind hack. Mind Hacks Mind Hack No. 1: "Disempowerment" This tactic is engaged any time a product or service promises to excuse us from the consequences of our actions, or claims we cannot control our outcome. The hidden message is, "I'll take care of your life for you," or, "It's not your fault that you are this way." This is not only the most insidious mind hack, it is also one of the most effective." - Mike Adams, Spam Filters for Your Brain (Get the book.) "Those products then impair their health and impair their ability to think clearly, and they are far more likely to continue purchasing those products because their ability to resist the brain spam has now been further reduced. The more of those products they buy, and the more they get into the system, the harder it becomes to think clearly and get out. The decline of a democracy It's gotten to a point where literally half the population has now elected a president in the 2004 election based on nothing but emotional appeals, without any sort of cognitive exercise whatsoever." - Mike Adams, Spam Filters for Your Brain (Get the book.) "Brain spam and its impact on society Now you know the 10 mind hacks used by manufacturers and marketing companies to get you to purchase products and services that actually impair your health rather than empower you. These strategies are in widespread use. You can find examples of them every single day, all around you ?at the grocery store, at the doctor's office and especially in the media. Virtually all advertising of products uses one or more of these strategies to seduce consumers." - Mike Adams, Spam Filters for Your Brain (Get the book.) "Join the herd Lastly, one of the success mechanisms of advertising in terms of brain spam is the fact that these ads make you believe whatever they're showing in the ad is perfectly normal. They're making it look like millions of people do it, and it's something that's regular, everyday and routine. Even though they don't say it outright, they are implying that you should be drinking this soft drink because everybody else is drinking it. All the other cool-looking, happy, teenage college kids are drinking this stuff, so you should be drinking it, too." - Mike Adams, Spam Filters for Your Brain (Get the book.)

"All Congress would have to do is pass a law forbidding credit card companies to process payments from spam e-mail. Any credit card company that processed a payment from a spam e-mail would face severe fines or loss of the right to process any credit cards, or jail. The credit card companies then would take the responsibility of knowing their customers and finding out how business was generated. E-mail spamming would stop. The policing action is simple. All the government has to do is order a product from some spam e-mail and then charge the credit card company with the violation." - Kevin Trudeau, Natural Cures They Don't Want You to Know About (Get the book.)

"And who can forget "Cold or hot, spam hits the spot!" It was the age of Cap'n Crunch for breakfast, bologna and Velveeta on Wonder Bread with barbecue chips and Twinkies for lunch, and Hamburger Helper for dinner. (As kids, we once found a half-eaten Twinkie under one of my brother's beds that had been there for nearly a year, and it still looked exactly as it had the day he opened the package, with the outline of his bite mark still perfectly intact. It was so full of preservatives even the ants that feasted on nearby forgotten banana peels wouldn't touch it." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.)

"Unfortunately, taking these amino acids, whether by nasal spray, by mouth in food, or in supplements, will not raise your growth hormone levels, despite what advertisements might claim in your computer spam or health journals.

Trans-d is an amino acid-based skin lotion, available by prescription only." - Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.)

A sharp increase in obesity-related diseases such as diabetes has ensued. Okinawa now has Japan's highest rate of obesity, and, among middle-aged men, one of the highest rates of premature deaths from cardiovascular diseases.

By 2006, the amount of junk e-mail received by the average Internet user will increase to 1,400 pieces each year—up from 700 pieces, on average, in 2001—totaling 206 billion individual messages." - The New York Times, The New York Times Guide to Essential Knowledge: A Desk Reference for the Curious Mind (Get the book.)

"All the government has to do is order a product from some spam e-mail and then charge the credit card company with the violation. The reason this is not being done is because the credit card companies make tens of millions of dollars in processing business from spam e-mail. Since they've lobbied Congress, Congress will not pass laws to hurt the companies that are giving them money. Again, our politicians do not care about you. They only care about protecting the profits of the big corporations that poured the millions of dollars into their campaigns and increased their personal wealth." - Kevin Trudeau, Natural Cures They Don't Want You to Know About (Get the book.)

"Perhaps the most wonderfully whimsical reuse of a big box yet is the spam Museum in Austin, Minnesota —in a former Kmart. Reusing big-box stores doesn't change the landscape as dramatically as greyfield development does; sometimes the facades change very little, save for a paint job and a new sign. But reuse, in any form, is never a bad thing. mw5 & cb HHB resources Crabgrass Frontier: The Suburbanization of the United States by Kenneth T.
