"Far more dangerous than terrorists This is an agency that poses far more danger to the public health than any terrorist organization in the world. There have been more Americans killed and injured by the actions of the FDA than in the Vietnam War, and all the terrorist activities, murderers and accidents combined. The FDA is the single most dangerous government agency ever created in the United States, and that's why there is now serious talk of reforming this agency, and making it answer to the people rather than the financial interests of pharmaceutical companies." - Mike Adams, Spam Filters for Your Brain (Get the book.)

"They were afraid of future terrorist attacks and the possibility of war. Some were afraid to fly. Others were afraid to go to a football game. If you follow Big Ten football, you know that Michigan Stadium is the largest open-air sports arena in the United States. And on game days it's always filled to capacity, seating more than 110,000 fans. Some of those fans feared that their beloved "Big House" was now a conspicuous terrorist target. On game days, dozens of banner-pulling planes circle the stadium. Blimps too. That season, all game-day flights were banned." - Barbara Fredrickson, Positivity: Top-Notch Research Reveals the 3 to 1 Ratio That Will Change Your Life (Get the book.)

"Shortly after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, LeDoux and coauthor Jack Gorman published an article in the American Journal of Psychiatry titled, "A Call to Action: Overcoming Anxiety through Active Coping." Essentially, active coping means doing something in response to whatever danger or problem is causing anxiety rather than passively worrying about it. It doesn't specifically imply physical activity, but certainly exercise qualifies as a mode of active coping. And as it turns out, movement may not be an incidental aspect of active coping." - John J. Ratey, MD, Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain (Get the book.)

"Rather than treating the individual patient's emergency, disaster medicine is collective; it is a mass emergency: the earthquake, the flood, the terrorist attack—all of which cause problems of a different nature and far beyond anything seen in day-to-day medicine. Disasters may also be more common (and less dramatic) than generally thought. For example, a heat wave in Philadelphia from July 4 through July 14, 1993, caused a 26% increase in general mortality and a 98% increase in cardiovascular mortality—much of which was preventable." - Gerald E. Markle and Frances B. McCrea, What If Medicine Disappeared? (Get the book.) "Disaster medicine has received considerable attention since the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center.26 Most assessments claim that the United States is unprepared to face various disasters. Battlefield medicine, which is nothing more than emergency medicine in the field, does save lives. In the Revolutionary War (1775-1783) an estimated 42% of all war wounds were lethal, a number that declined to 33% for the Civil War and only to 30% for World War II. In the current war (at this writing in 2005) in Iraq and Afghanistan, that figure has dropped to only 10%. " - Gerald E. Markle and Frances B. McCrea, What If Medicine Disappeared? (Get the book.)

"However, in the wake of terrorist attacks at Dhahran, Oklahoma City, and the New York Trade Center, President Clinton signed an anti-terrorist bill on April 24, 1996. It substantially broadened the government's authority to investigate and deport foreign terrorists, provided the right to use secret evidence against suspects, and added restrictions on habeas corpus (The Economist, 4/20/96). It reminded civil liberties supporters of the anti-terrorist proposals by Ronald Reagan in 1984." - Carl Jensen, 20 Years of Censored News (Get the book.)

"The waves of migration to relatively well-off regions overload the local resource base and create conflict with the established populations. • terrorist groups, nuclear proliferators, narco-traffickers, and organized crime form alliances with unscrupulous entrepreneurs and expand the scale and scope of their activities. On the way to breakdown we can anticipate drastic changes in economic and political processes and ecology, accompanied by military fallout." - Ervin Laszlo, Quantum Shift in the Global Brain: How the New Scientific Reality Can Change Us and Our World (Get the book.)

"This paperwork, which has increased greatly since 9/11, ensures that any fruit crossing a border can be traceable to its warehouse of origin, in case of any terrorist maneuver involving produce. The computerization of the shipping infrastructure has resulted in cargo being declared before trucks reach border checkpoints. New breeds of scanners have been developed to identify fruits and plants in baggage. The Beagle Brigade, a doggy inspection program manned by beagles with names like Liberty, patrols many U.S. airports." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.)

"Catastrophic events like car accidents, terrorist bombings, or natural disasters are intensely stressful and debilitating and have severely negative consequences for individuals, families, and entire segments of society. Our environment also creates stress—too much harsh sound, rush hour traffic, long lines. Societal expectations end up becoming our own, and so we stress as we strive to earn a decent salary, live in a good neighborhood, wear attractive clothes, have perfect hair, own the right car, and be actively involved in the affairs of school, church, and community." - Rick Levy and Lou Aronica, Miraculous Health: How to Heal Your Body by Unleashing the Hidden Power of Your Mind (Get the book.)

"Impressively, that pre-crisis measure of resiliency could forecast the degree of positivity people experienced during the uncertain and troubling weeks after the terrorist attacks. And positive emotions turned out to be the active ingredient that enabled certain people to bounce back and grow stronger. I'm thankful that I regained my own faith in positivity in time to gather these eye-opening data. Positivity matters. And it especially matters during trying times." - Barbara Fredrickson, Positivity: Top-Notch Research Reveals the 3 to 1 Ratio That Will Change Your Life (Get the book.)

"A case in point is the terrorist activity that dominates so much of the news media these days. Terrorists must be very intelligent to achieve what they do, but they are governed by powerful emotional drives that are neither rational nor humanitarian. At a personal level there is a battle raging in the unconscious of every one of us between the residual child-primitive that Freud called the id, and the representatives of reason and morality he called the ego and the superego. This conflict is responsible for psychosomatic symptoms." - John E. Sarno, M.D., The Divided Mind: The Epidemic of Mindbody Disorders (Get the book.)

"Some of those fans feared that their beloved "Big House" was now a conspicuous terrorist target. On game days, dozens of banner-pulling planes circle the stadium. Blimps too. That season, all game-day flights were banned. We learned a lot from these students about how resilience works. The ones who scored high on the survey, suggesting they had a resilient personality style, did indeed show resilient outcomes. They bounced back faster than those who scored low. After 9/11, feeling depressed was the norm." - Barbara Fredrickson, Positivity: Top-Notch Research Reveals the 3 to 1 Ratio That Will Change Your Life (Get the book.)

"Indeed, we have already actually experienced some of the items on this list—war, terrorist attack, and a natural disaster, a terrible tsunami in the Indian Ocean—since the list was compiled. With so many possible causes of market interruption, we are left now, as always, with the daunting problem of assessing not only their various probabilities?each of them by itself small and hard to quantify—but also the probabilities of several of them happening together, which would make the combined effect all the more serious." - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.)

"During the window of time when they were feeling peace, terrorist activities ceased, the rate of crimes against people went down, the number of emergency-room visits declined, and the incidence of traffic accidents dropped. When the participants' feelings changed, the statistics were reversed. This study confirmed the earlier findings: When a small percentage of the population achieved peace within themselves, it was reflected in the world around them." - Gregg Braden, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief: Shattering the Paradigm of False Limits (Get the book.)

"Immediately after the terrorist acts of September 11 in New York and Washington, D.C., the questions that everyone was asking were "Why did they do this to us?" and "What did we do to them?" We live during a time in history when it's so easy to think of the world in terms of "them" and "us" and wonder how bad things can happen to good people. If there is in fact a single field of energy that connects everything in our world, and if the Divine Matrix works the way the evidence suggests, then there can be no them and us, only we." - Gregg Braden, The Divine Matrix: Bridging Time, Space, Miracles, and Belief (Get the book.)

"Five years later, that possibility became a reality when the high-school-aged children who initially experienced America's worst terrorist attack began showing an increased demand for anxiety-related treatment. In March 2007, the Yale Medical Group reported on a study conducted by the Anxiety Disorders Association of America (ADAA). The paper documented that as the age-group who witnessed the attacks have matured, a "growing number of students [are] coming to college with a history of mental illness, with an increase after 9/11."" - Gregg Braden, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief: Shattering the Paradigm of False Limits (Get the book.)

"Krucoff s study fell right in the midst of the terrorist attacks of 9/11 and their aftermath. For three months, enrollment fell so sharply that he had to amend its design. He developed a two-tier prayer strategy by recruiting twelve second-tier prayer groups. As soon as new patients were added to the study, the second-tier groups were to pray for the members of the first-tier prayer groups, who had been praying for the patients all along." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.)

"If we can't forgive ourselves, our parents, our spouses, our neighbors, and our government then it is unlikely we could ever forgive the desperate act of a terrorist. And yet, it is this very forgiving that puts healing into motion by removing the shackles from the heart, allowing it to invigorate with coherence leading to compassion. If you continue hard-heartedness you are hurt not just once but repeatedly by the energy you expend holding on to your grudge." - Pam Montgomery, Plant Spirit Healing: A Guide to Working with Plant Consciousness (Get the book.)

"But in 2007, it was revealed that the company has been funding a Colombian terrorist organization, the paramilitary United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia, to protect their banana plantations. The company's ongoing political reach was displayed in the trade dispute that erupted between the United States and the European Union in 1999." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.)

"Not surprisingly, one of the most profound effects was felt during and immediately after the September 11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center.22 These initial results left Nelson and Radin with many tantalizing questions. If there was such a thing as a world mind, perhaps little flashes of inspiration in it could account for the most monstrous and magnificent moments in human history, or maybe negative consciousness was also like a germ that could infect people and take hold. Germany had been depressed in every sense after the First World War." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.)

"It was the agent used in the famous Japanese subway terrorist attacks in the mid-1990s. Sarin and other toxins of this group are versatile. They need not be inhaled to do their damage. A drop on the skin is enough to kill; once absorbed, it then blocks breathing by paralyzing the muscles of respiration. But sarin is also lethal through its damage to the brain. Given their remarkably low Haber constants, sarin and closely related poisons will remain major chemical terrorist threats for the foreseeable future." - Paul D. Blanc, M.D., How Everyday Products Make People Sick: Toxins at Home and in the Workplace (Get the book.)

"Those who defend the use of torture often acknowledge the horror involved, but claim torture is necessary for national security or other important aims, like preventing terrorist attacks. There's one problem with their arguments: torture doesn't work. Professor Darius Rejali knows more about torture than nearly anyone else in the world, and his research shows conclusively that nearly all the arguments made in favor of torture are bogus." - Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.)

"Could this be the first terrorist example of tampering with our food supply? Operating with uncanny speed in October of 2005, under the new leadership of Gottlieb and von Eschenbach, the FDA took charge. They fired off FDA warning letters to twenty-nine cherry companies, informing them that the FDA now considered their cherries to be drugs. The problem: These cherry companies posted on their websites numerous scientific, peer-reviewed articles explaining the value of eating cherries." - Byron J. Richards, Fight for Your Health: Exposing the FDA's Betrayal of America (Get the book.)

"By examining responses to unexpected and unplanned events—a natural disaster, a terrorist attack, the tragic accidental death of a child or being drafted and sent to a battlefield's front lines—we can get a picture of how humans respond to stressful crises. What we find is that most handle these events quite well. The National Opinion Research Center investigated numerous tragedies including an air show accident in which an airplane crashed into a crowd killing 20 and injuring 30, a coal mine explosion which killed 119 miners and an earthquake that did significant damage throughout a city." - Dr. Timothy Scott, America Fooled: The Truth About Antidepressants, Antipsychotics and How We've Been Deceived (Get the book.)

"There was another difference between the Blitz and the 2005 terrorist bombings. When the Luftwaffe attacked, the Brits looked around and found themselves completely alone. Americans, still new to the empire business, watched from across the broad Atlantic and waited by their phones for orders for more war materiel. Nobody had to tell the Brits then that they had an enemy—it was staring them in the face. In 2005 Britain was not alone. The United States was fully engaged, from the get-go, in the war against terror. Indeed, it was the United States that was calling the shots this time around." - William Bonner, Lila Rajiva, Mobs, Messiahs, and Markets: Surviving the Public Spectacle in Finance and Politics (Agora Series) (Get the book.)

"The pharmaceutical industries, together with orthodox medicine, have killed and maimed thousands more people in developed and developing societies than Al Qaeda and all other terrorist organisations put together. Yet their directors, staff, organisers, theorists and representatives consistently escape political, ethical, moral or financial censure. y y y When Maggie Tuttle set up the Menopausal Helpline, even though she had herself gone through 15 years of painful bad health, she was unprepared for the agony that would consequently flow into her life." - Martin J. Walker, HRT Licensed to Kill and Maim: The Unheard Voices of Women Damaged by Hormone Replacement Therapy (Get the book.)

"Taleb was referring to the reactions to the terrorist bombings. Reading the newspaper headlines, you might come to believe that terrorism was an enormous risk, whereas statistically it is actually rather insignificant. Following September 11, for example, many decided to drive rather than to fly; the result was that more people died in traffic accidents than died in airplanes. In 2005, when bombs went off in London, a cursory reading of the press reports revealed that the bombers were the rankest amateurs. Some didn't know how to detonate their bombs." - William Bonner, Lila Rajiva, Mobs, Messiahs, and Markets: Surviving the Public Spectacle in Finance and Politics (Agora Series) (Get the book.) "Indeed, since the State Department began counting terrorist deaths in the late 1960s, even including the deaths from the attack on the World Trade Center towers on September 11, 2001, the number of deaths from terrorism has been about the same as the number of people who have died from severe allergic reaction to peanut butter. Yet, since 2001, the U.S. government has spent billions in their effort to protect Americans from terrorism. As far as we know, it has spent none at all to protect us from peanut butter." - William Bonner, Lila Rajiva, Mobs, Messiahs, and Markets: Surviving the Public Spectacle in Finance and Politics (Agora Series) (Get the book.) "How could people not have seen that there is a world of difference between the London terrorist bombings of 2005 and the Blitz of World War II? Recall for a moment what happened during the Blitz. The Brits had declared war on Germany in September 1939 and were expecting a German attack. In preparation, air raid systems were set up. But nothing happened. Everything seemed normal, so much so that Londoners even started coming back into town. Then, suddenly, France capitulated and Germany now began sending over waves of planes to bomb strategic targets in Britain." - William Bonner, Lila Rajiva, Mobs, Messiahs, and Markets: Surviving the Public Spectacle in Finance and Politics (Agora Series) (Get the book.)

"Banksy has frequently been characterized as an "art terrorist," which implies a violence that is absolutely absent in Banksy's work. His one-man mission is to confront cultural failings by stealthily positioning his own art among museum collections, on walls, and anywhere in the public view. In 2005, for instance, Banksy visited Israel's West Bank, where he spray-painted several large images on the Palestinian side of the border wall to give the appearance of a hole through which the viewer could see a tranquil beach scene full of palm trees, or a snowcapped mountain and inviting forest." - Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.)
