"If, as many believe, terrorism reflects frustration resulting from political and social inequities, it is most likely to thrive in countries that fail to provide access to basic needs, or that give lesser rights to ethnic, religious, or other minority groups. In such situations, public health can be a useful means to strengthen society as well as to avert terrorism. The recent history of Afghanistan illustrates these points. Its health care system is poor by any standard, and its high infant mortality rate is approached by only one other country (Pakistan) outside of sub-Saha-ran Africa." - Marion Nestle, Safe Food: Bacteria, Biotechnology, and Bioterrorism (Get the book.) "With these ideas in mind, the American Public Health Association suggests short- and long-term strategies to prevent terrorism and its adverse health consequences: address poverty, social injustice, and disparities; provide humanitarian assistance; strengthen the ability of the public health system to respond to terrorism; protect the environment and food and water supplies; and advocate for control and eventual elimination of biological, chemical, and nuclear weapons.69 Writer Laurie Garrett explains, "Public health is a bond—a trust—between a government and its people. ..." - Marion Nestle, Safe Food: Bacteria, Biotechnology, and Bioterrorism (Get the book.)

"Because of the potential terrorism and bio terrorism threat, first the population was put systematically into panic. Vaccinations suddenly were the talk of the day. The soldiers had to be vaccinated. Our soldiers had to be safe. Let's quickly remember, that vaccinations are the biggest business one can imagine. Since vaccination had some good effects in the past without a doubt, vaccinations were looked at with respect. So fairly early on, big Pharma concentrated on those gigantic markets. Let's look back. In 1994, 3 billion a year was already spent for vaccinations." - Kenneth W Thomas, Ron Gilbert, Gerd Schaller, Side Effects: The Hidden Agenda of the Pharmaceutical Drug Cartel (Get the book.)

"In such situations, public health can be a useful means to strengthen society as well as to avert terrorism. The recent history of Afghanistan illustrates these points. Its health care system is poor by any standard, and its high infant mortality rate is approached by only one other country (Pakistan) outside of sub-Saha-ran Africa. As noted earlier, malnutrition is widespread, in part because only slightly more than one-tenth of the population has access to clean water supplies (contaminated water induces diarrheal and other infectious diseases that, in turn, contribute to malnutrition)." - Marion Nestle, Safe Food: Bacteria, Biotechnology, and Bioterrorism (Get the book.) "One official of the Grocery Manufacturers of America said, "Before we scrap a system that is regarded as the best in the world, we should fully explore strategies to enhance the current system, through adequate funding, better coordination, and continued innovation"; another said, "I think we've already got the system in place to deal with terrorism. . . . We just need more information from the government to make sure we can address any potential threat." - Marion Nestle, Safe Food: Bacteria, Biotechnology, and Bioterrorism (Get the book.)

"In addition, we live in a mental and emotional environment filled with messages of stress and death from the media, including news of constant wars and terrorism infecting the planet. The degenerate conditions, lifestyle, and diet that create diabetes emanate from these modern human-created realities, which, taken together, we are calling the Culture of Death. The cure, on the most profound level, is to move away from a global and personal Culture of Death, to embrace the Culture of Life." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"It was like they were gonna save us from terrorism. Six agents burst in and started rifling through everything trying to find illegal seeds. They orchestrated it like it was a big drug raid. It scared the shit outta my wife, not to mention my customers. They photographed stuff, and confiscated seeds. They thought I had smuggled 'noxious weeds' in from Asia. They were after an illegal seed that was one-sixteenth of an inch long. My palm seeds were an inch long. They didn't know a noxious weed from a palm tree seed. They wouldn't know a noxious weed if it grew in their butt." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.)

"Today's emphasis on global security, on the war against terrorism, obscures so efficiently the everyday threats and dangers that exist for individuals and communities in developed societies. In a society obsessed with security, there is no longer any possibility of a real debate on a subject such as iatrogenic2 death. When society is on a war footing, internal criticism diminishes to a smoking wick. Lights no longer burn for individual liberty, whether for those accused of terrorism or those damaged by powerful industrial interests." - Martin J. Walker, HRT Licensed to Kill and Maim: The Unheard Voices of Women Damaged by Hormone Replacement Therapy (Get the book.)

"Regardless of your age, you've been around long enough to witness at least some of these undesirable changes in the form of increased crime, terrorism, or war in the world around us. These changes reflect a world that seems increasingly stressful and in a downward spiral. If you doubt what I write, read the newspaper, watch the news, and ask yourself: Is the world a better, safer, and kinder place than it was five or ten years ago? I certainly don't blame all of our social problems, from violent crimes to terrorism, on bad eating habits." - Jack Challem, The Food-Mood Solution: All-Natural Ways to Banish Anxiety, Depression, Anger, Stress, Overeating, and Alcohol and Drug Problems--and Feel Good Again (Get the book.)

"We are fighting terrorism, poverty, criminality, cultural conflict, climate change, environmental degradation, ill health, even obesity and other "sicknesses of civilization" with the same means and methods that produced the problems in the first place—we are resorting to armies and police forces, technological fixes, and temporary remedial measures. We have not mustered the will and the vision to bring about timely transformation. IS IT TOO LATE?" - Ervin Laszlo, Quantum Shift in the Global Brain: How the New Scientific Reality Can Change Us and Our World (Get the book.) "The Economic and Political Processes • terrorism spreads, together with declared and undeclared attacks on countries suspected of harboring terrorists. • The North Atlantic Alliance linking Europe, the United States, and Russia collapses. • France, Germany, Russia, and China form a coalition to balance what they perceive as growing U.S. military-economic hegemony, joined by Brazil, India, South Korea, and other developing countries. • Global military spending experiences a sharp rise, as the U.S. and its allies and the opposing bloc countries enter the spiral of an arms race." - Ervin Laszlo, Quantum Shift in the Global Brain: How the New Scientific Reality Can Change Us and Our World (Get the book.) "Within the structures of civil society it is producing growing gaps between rich and poor, with attendant frustration, fundamentalism, and terrorism, triggering crime, violence, and war. The threat of extinction is real, but it is avoidable. At the critical phase of a Macroshift fresh opportunities open, including the opportunity to evolve. In this case the opportunity is not to evolve genetically, for we are not merely a biological species, but to evolve socially and culturally, to a new society and a new culture—to a new civilization." - Ervin Laszlo, Quantum Shift in the Global Brain: How the New Scientific Reality Can Change Us and Our World (Get the book.)

"You will also discover that mistakes, accidents, coincidences, negativity, deception, injustice, wars, crime, and terrorism all have a deeper purpose and meaning in the larger scheme of things. So naturally, much of what you will read may conflict with the beliefs you currently hold. Yet you are not asked to change your beliefs or opinions. Instead, you are asked to have an open mind, for only an open mind can enjoy freedom from judgment. Our personal views and worldviews are currently challenged by a crisis of identity. Some are being shattered altogether." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"Being integrative means that a doctor should see the patient in a broader scope—as a person with a medical problem living in a community that produces both stress and pleasure, as a person living in an environment that could be pleasant or horrible, and as a person living in a world filled with challenges ranging from terrorism to global warming. Most of us don't think about these global problems every minute of every day, yet we hear about them every time we turn on the evening news or pick up a newspaper." - Benjamin H. Natelson, M.D., Your Symptoms Are Real: What to Do When Your Doctor Says Nothing Is Wrong (Get the book.)

"This damage contributes to increasing crime, vandalism, violence, terrorism (sanctioned as well as unsanctioned), militarization, war, drug abuse (legal as well as illegal), police harassment, divorce . . . and on and on. Stress can also have negative effects on our environment. Eighty percent of accidents are caused by "human error," and the more stressed a person is, the more prone they are to error. And the consequences of human error in a nuclear power station, a chemical plant, or a tanker full of crude oil are familiar to us all." - Peter Russell, Waking Up In Time: Finding Inner Peace In Times of Accelerating Change (Get the book.)

"We must address the root causes of terrorism—poverty, ignorance and injustice—rather than responding to violence with violence." To convince modern people to adopt behaviors appropriate to the conditions that now reign on Earth—something that many people are reluctant to do—there must be meaningful codes to guide people's behavior: all people's behavior. Such codes need to be distilled from a planetary ethic appropriate to the interdependence and shared destiny of the human community." - Ervin Laszlo, Quantum Shift in the Global Brain: How the New Scientific Reality Can Change Us and Our World (Get the book.)

"Fear of terrorism has increased, but terrorists do not seem to strike wealthy people preferentially, and generally not in their homes. The declining crime rates in the United States make a capitalist lifestyle seem a better model for the entire world. Materialistic values do not by themselves have any logical bearing on the level of the stock market. Whether or not people are materialistic, it is still reasonable to expect them to save for the future and to seek out the best vehicles for their savings." - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.)

"As defined by the American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, terrorism is: The unlawful use or threatened use of force or violence by a person or an organized group against people or property with the intention of intimidating or coercing societies or governments, often for ideological or political reasons. So how has the FDA engaged in acts of terrorism? The FDA conducted an armed raid on the natural health clinic of Dr. Jonathan Wright." - Mike Adams, Natural Health Solutions (Get the book.)

"The government is threatening to use "terrorism" as an excuse to censor it! Personal-care product companies are also major players in the media industry, and of course they would be none too happy if the healing power of the raw diet ever caught on. Who would need drugs? Who would buy Coca-Cola? Who would even need deodorant or mouthwash after a few years of detoxifying? And because a raw food diet makes one ever more health conscious, many other products would also lose their markets: toxic cleaning products, shampoo or toothpaste with toxic ingredients and so on." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"I honestly felt that the science of positivity was no longer relevant in this new era of terrorism. For the first time, I questioned the relevance of my life's work. My mission was unraveling into a lifeless heap of numbers and words. About a day into this gloomy funk, somehow I recognized that the sudden pessimism about my work was depression talking. Like most Americans, I was feeling distraught about world events and the tragedies of 9/11. True to form, my distress was pulling me down into a negativity abyss." - Barbara Fredrickson, Positivity: Top-Notch Research Reveals the 3 to 1 Ratio That Will Change Your Life (Get the book.) "If my world no longer felt safe under this new shadow of terrorism, I could only imagine what they felt. We turned on the radio as we drove from the church to the cemetery and learned that all flights were canceled until further notice. My heart sank. I was supposed to fly home to my own boys (my husband and firstborn) that evening. As we walked to the grave site, the skies were strangely silent. Even though I was surrounded by my family, I felt stranded. I needed to find a way back to my home. I yearned to hold my baby and feel the reassurance of my husband's arms." - Barbara Fredrickson, Positivity: Top-Notch Research Reveals the 3 to 1 Ratio That Will Change Your Life (Get the book.)

"Leonard Horowitz, Harvard-educated public health researcher, who wrote Death in the Air: Globalism, terrorism & Toxic Warfare and Emerging Viruses: AIDS and Ebola, among other titles. With his enormous wealth, Rockefeller founded and lavishly endowed education boards, thus gaining control of federal government health policy and also the output of the intellectual and scientific community. In fact no Pulitzer, Nobel or any similar prize endowed with money and prestige has ever been awarded to a declared foe of the Rockefeller cartel." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"After the opening of 2000 passed, the anthrax scare proved the next boon to silver loading, as an alternative, preemptive defense against biological terrorism.15 As the variety of these new outbreaks of intoxication makes clear, predicting where the next toxic hot zone will be is difficult. In prognosticating microbial threats, infectious disease expetts invoke factors such as ease of global travel, sexual practices, and societal disruptions to make educated guesses (but guesses nonetheless) about what may or may not be the nature of the next epidemic." - Paul D. Blanc, M.D., How Everyday Products Make People Sick: Toxins at Home and in the Workplace (Get the book.)

"However, the residual threats of terrorism are still debilitating the vitality of our country. As a nation we should look more carefully at how our fear of future acts of terrorism is undermining our quality of life. In some sense, the terrorists have already won since they have succeeded in frightening us into a chronic, soul-sapping protective mode. I'd also like to suggest that you examine how your fears and the ensuing protection behaviors impact your life. What fears are stunting your growth? Where did these fears come from? Are they necessary? Are they real?" - Bruce H. Lipton, The Biology Of Belief: Unleashing The Power Of Consciousness, Matter And Miracles (Get the book.)

"But if a major strike, a power outage, a devastating earthquake, or a major act of terrorism, such as the one we witnessed in New York City on September 11, 2001, suddenly paralyzes city life, the population will begin to suffer serious shortcomings in all these vital sectors. Like a city's infrastructure, the liver has hundreds of different functions and is connected with every part of the body. Every moment of the day, it is involved in manufacturing, processing, and supplying vast amounts of nutrients. These nutrients feed the 60 to 100 trillion inhabitants (cells) of the body." - Andreas Moritz, The Liver and Gallbladder Miracle Cleanse: An All-Natural, At-Home Flush to Purify and Rejuvenate Your Body (Get the book.)

"In fact, terrorism experts who were quoted in the New York Times call this region from Port Elizabeth to Port Newark "the most dangerous two miles in America."7 Security is lax, the paper said. "At the chlorine plant, trucks and cars drive by a scant 100 feet from storage tanks. A Times reporter and photographer found the plant only loosely guarded as they drove back and forth for five minutes snapping photos." I asked Haplea when chemical plants in this area started to respond to terrorist threats. "September 12, 2001," he said, ruefully. " - David Steinman, Safe Trip to Eden: Ten Steps to Save Planet Earth from the Global Warming Meltdown (Get the book.)

"The Sandinistas were accused of drug trafficking, terrorism, persecuting Jews, building secret prisons, and beating Catholics in the street for attending mass.63 To push the terrorism charge, the White House used Neil Livingstone, a self-proclaimed "expert on terrorism" and senior vice-president with the public relations firm of Gray & Company. In fact, considerable circumstantial evidence suggests that Gray & Company was itself connected to secret arms and money shipments connected with the Iran/Contra affair." - John Stauber and Sheldon Rampton, Toxic Sludge is Good For You: Lies, Damn Lies and the Public Relations Industry (Get the book.)

"But nobody wants to maintain the status quo more than the drug companies, because they're strongly benefiting from the FDA's campaigns of censorship, intimidation and outright terrorism against the American people and anyone involved in natural health. So don't expect drug companies to call for reforms of the agency: They like it just the way it is!" - Mike Adams, Natural Health Solutions (Get the book.)

"The tourism industry, already whacked by high fuel prices and renewed worries over terrorism, saw a drop-off in demand, especially from those at the lower end of the economic spectrum. At the same time, wide swaths of corporate America began to feel the pinch, especially in vulnerable sectors like auto manufacturing, where foreign competitors had already made significant inroads. For industries that had long been forced to offer cheap credit as an inducement for big-ticket purchases, costlier borrowing rates were also becoming a serious threat." - Michael J. Panzner, Financial Armageddon: Protecting Your Future from Four Impending Catastrophes (Get the book.)
