Wal-Mart Worker Killed During 5am Store Opening Stampede

Wal-Mart worker killed after shoppers stampede N.Y. store

NEW YORK — A Wal-Mart worker died Friday after a throng of “out-of-control” shoppers broke down the doors at a suburban Long Island store in a scramble for post-Thanksgiving bargains, police said.

At least four other people, including a woman eight months pregnant, were taken to hospitals for observation or minor injuries.

The store in Valley Stream on Long Island closed for several hours before reopening.

Nassau police said about 2,000 people were gathered outside the store doors at the mall about 30 kilometres east of Manhattan. The impatient crowd knocked the man to the ground as he opened the doors, leaving a metal portion of the frame crumpled like an accordion.

“This crowd was out of control,” said Nassau police spokesman Lt. Michael Fleming. He described the scene as “utter chaos.”

Dozens of store employees trying to fight their way out to help the man were also getting trampled by the crowd, Fleming said.

Witnesses said that even as the worker lay on the ground, shoppers streamed into the store, stepping over him.

Kimberly Cribbs, who witnessed the stampede, said shoppers were acting like “savages.”

“When they (officials) were saying they had to leave, that an employee got killed, people were yelling ‘I’ve been on line since yesterday morning,”’ she said. “They kept shopping.”

The 34-year-old man was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead at about 6 a.m., police said. The exact cause of death has not been determined, and the man’s name was not released.

A 28-year-old pregnant woman was taken to a hospital, where she and the baby were reported to be OK, said police Sgt. Anthony Repalone. At least three other people were taken to hospitals with minor injuries.

Police said criminal charges were possible in the case, but Fleming said it would be difficult to identify individual shoppers. Authorities were reviewing surveillance video.

Wal-Mart Stores Inc., based in Bentonville, Ark., called the incident a “tragic situation” and said the employee came from a temporary agency and was doing maintenance work at the store.

“The safety and security of our customers and associates is our top priority,” said Dan Fogleman, a company spokesman. “At this point, facts are still being assembled and we are working closely with the Nassau County Police as they investigate what occurred.”

Shoppers across the United States lined up early outside stores on the day after U.S. Thanksgiving in the annual bargain-hunting ritual known as Black Friday.

It got that name because it has historically been the day when stores broke into profitability for the full year. Source

“Something is happening of historic proportions”

I came across the below article posted on jeffrense.com referring back to ID Obama. I liked it that much that I decided to duplicate the it here and footnote it with supportive material.

Source
I am a student of history. Professionally. I have written 15 books in six languages, and have studied it all my life. I think there is something monumentally large afoot, and I do not believe it is just a banking crisis, or a mortgage crisis, or a credit crisis. Yes these exist, but they are merely single facets on a very large gemstone that is only now coming into a sharper focus.

Something of historic proportions is happening. I can sense it because I know how it feels, smells, what it looks like, and how people react to it. Yes, a perfect storm may be brewing, but there is something happening within our country that has been evolving for about ten – fifteen years. The pace has dramatically quickened in the past two.

We demand and then codify into law the requirement that our banks make massive loans to people we know they can never pay back? Why?

We learn just days ago that the Federal Reserve, which has little or no real oversight by anyone[1], has “loaned” two trillion dollars (that is $2,000,000,000,000) over the past few months, but will not tell us to whom or why or disclose the terms. That is our money. Yours and mine. And that is three times the 700B we all argued about so strenuously just this past September. Who has this money? Why do they have it? Why are the terms unavailable to us? Who asked for it? Who authorized it? I thought this was a government of “we the people,” who loaned our powers to our elected leaders. Apparently not.

We have spent two or more decades intentionally de-industrializing our economy. Why?

We have intentionally dumbed down our schools, ignored our history, and no longer teach our founding documents, why we are exceptional, and why we are worth preserving. Students by and large cannot write, think critically, read, or articulate. Parents are not revolting, teachers are not picketing, school boards continue to back mediocrity.[2] Why?

We have now established the precedent of protesting every close election (now violently in California over a proposition that is so controversial that it wants marriage to remain between one man and one woman. Did you ever think such a thing possible just a decade ago?). We have corrupted our sacred political process by allowing unelected judges to write laws that radically change our way of life, and then mainstream Marxist groups like ACORN and others to turn our voting system into a banana republic. To what purpose?

Now our mortgage industry is collapsing, housing prices are in free fall, major industries are failing, our banking system is on the verge of collapse, social security is nearly bankrupt, as is medicare and our entire government, our education system is worse than a joke (I teach college and know precisely what I am talking about)–the list is staggering in its length, breadth, and depth. It is potentially 1929 x ten. And we are at war with an enemy we cannot name for fear of offending people of the same religion, who cannot wait to slit the throats of your children if they have the opportunity to do so.

And now we have elected a man no one knows anything about[3], who has never run so much as a Dairy Queen, let alone a town as big as Wasilla, Alaska. All of his associations and alliances are with real radicals in their chosen fields of employment[4], and everything we learn about him, drip by drip, is unsettling if not downright scary (Surely you have heard him speak about his idea to create and fund a mandatory civilian defense force stronger than our military for use inside our borders?[5] No? Oh of course. The media would never play that for you over and over and then demand he answer it. Sarah Palin’s pregnant daughter and $150,000 wardrobe is more imporant.)

Mr. Obama’s winning platform can be boiled down to one word: change.

Why?

I have never been so afraid for my country and for my children as I am now.

This man campaigned on bringing people together, something he has never, ever done in his professional life. In my assessment, Obama will divide us along philosophical lines, push us apart, and then try to realign the pieces into a new and different power structure. Change is indeed coming. And when it comes, you will never see the same nation again.

And that is only the beginning.

And I thought I would never be able to experience what the ordinary, moral German felt in the mid-1930s. In those times, the savior was a former smooth-talking rabble-rouser from the streets, about whom the average German knew next to nothing. What they did know was that he was associated with groups that shouted, shoved, and pushed around people with whom they disagreed; he edged his way onto the political stage through great oratory and promises. Economic times were tough, people were losing jobs, and he was a great speaker. And he smiled and waved a lot. And people, even newspapers, were afraid to speak out for fear that his “brown shirts” would bully them into submission. And then, he was duly elected to office, a full-throttled economic crisis at hand [the Great Depression]. Slowly but surely he seized the controls of government power, department by department, person by person, bureaucracy by bureaucracy. The kids joined a Youth Movement in his name, where they were taught what to think. How did he get the people on his side? He did it promising jobs to the jobless, money to the moneyless, and goodies for the military-industrial complex. He did it by indoctrinating the children, advocating gun control, health care for all, better wages, better jobs, and promising to re-instill pride once again in the country, across Europe, and across the world.[6]

He did it with a compliant media–did you know that? And he did this all in the name of justice and . . . change. And the people surely got what they voted for.

(Look it up if you think I am exaggerating.)

Read your history books. Many people objected in 1933 and were shouted down, called names, laughed at, and made fun of. When Winston Churchill pointed out the obvious in the late 1930s while seated in the House of Lords in England (he was not yet Prime Minister), he was booed into his seat and called a crazy troublemaker. He was right, though.

Don’t forget that Germany was the most educated, cultured country in Europe. It was full of music, art, museums, hospitals, laboratories, and universities. And in less than six years–a shorter time span than just two terms of the U. S. presidency–it was rounding up its own citizens, killing others, abrogating its laws, turning children against parents, and neighbors against neighbors. All with the best of intentions, of course. The road to Hell is paved with them.

As a practical thinker, one not overly prone to emotional decisions, I have a choice: I can either believe what the objective pieces of evidence tell me (even if they make me cringe with disgust); I can believe what history is shouting to me from across the chasm of seven decades; or I can hope I am wrong by closing my eyes, having another latte, and ignoring what is transpiring around me.

Some people scoff at me, others laugh, or think I am foolish, naive, or both. Perhaps I am. But I have never been afraid to look people in the eye and tell them exactly what I believe–and why I believe it.

I pray I am wrong. I do not think I am.

Footnotes:

1. The Federal Reserve Bank is a private banking cartel not in under control of congress as it legally should if it were to conform to the US constitution. See this interesting article in which it is legally affirmed that in fact Federal Reserve Banks are “independent, privately owned and locally controlled corporations.”
   

   FEDERAL RESERVE CONTROLS THE MONEY, NOT THE GOVERNMENT

   The monetary policy of the United States is the domain of the Federal Reserve Bank and not the government. This process is in direct contradiction of the U.S. Constitution that reposes the responsibility of the monetary system with the Congress of the United States.

   On April 27, 1936, hearings were held by the House Committee on Banking and Currency. The preamble of the bill – HR 9216 of the Seventy-fourth Congress, states, “The committee had under consideration the bill (HR 92163 to restore to Congress its constitutional power to issue money and regulate the value thereof; to provide monetary income to the people of the United States at a fixed and equitable purchasing power of the dollar, ample at all times to enable the people to buy wanted goods and services at full capacity of the industries and commercial facilities of the United States; to abolish the practice of creating bank deposits by private groups upon fractional reserves, and for other purposes.”

   The Congress also attempted to issue non-interest bearing Treasury Notes. A Federal Credit Commission linked to the Secretary of the Treasury was the goal of Congress. The concern was that banks were issuing loans without the backing of real deposits and that it was controlling money based on the price it attracted on international money markets or by the amount of interest they could charge. The Congress wanted to withdraw from the banks the right to issue credit on fractional reserves, and leave the banks the right to issue credit on account of actual deposits, which means that permanent money will be loaned not bank manufactured money.

   The bill would have eliminated the private manufacture of money – a direct contravention of the mandate of the Constitution, which places the right to coin money in the hands of Congress.Source: Federal Reserve is A Private Cartel.

2. Education in the US is poor compared to other highly developed countries:
   

   The national results in international comparisons have often been far below the average of developed countries. In OECD’s Programme for International Student Assessment 2003, 15 year olds ranked 24th of 38 in mathematics, 19th of 38 in science, 12th of 38 in reading, and 26th of 38 in problem solving.^[67] In the 2006 assessment, the U.S. ranked 35th out of 57 in mathematics and 29th out of 57 in science. Reading scores could not be reported due to printing errors in the instructions of the U.S. test booklets. U.S. scores were far behind those of most other developed nations.^[68] In addition, many business leaders have expressed concerns that the quality of education given in the US system is generally below acceptable standards, and should be adapted in order to conform to the needs of an evolving world. Bill Gates has famously stated that the American high school is “obsolete”.^[69]Source: Education in the United States

Dr Russell Blaylock – Nutrition and Behavior

Dr Russell Blaylock Nutrition and Behavior

This blog offers background and supportive material to the topics raised in the video above. References are normally either put in place or added as footnotes, in case of controversy, I’ve added references in place as well as a footnote. The sources of the pictures not extracted from Blaylock’s lecture are accessible by clicking. All references present in this blog were added by me that were not explicitly supplied with the Blaylock video. My own occasional commentary will be given between square brackets, [like so].

Nutrition and Genes

Nutrition controls what genes are operative or not. Mothers help determine the character of the life of children already in the womb, depending on the quality of the food this can go either in a good direction or bad direction.[1][2]

Nutrition as fuel for the brain

1. The nervous system is the most metabolically active organ in the body. It’s metabolism never ceases.
2. Because of its high metabolism, the brain produces a lot of free radicals and lipid peroxidation generation. Neurodegenerative diseases (Alzheimer, Parkinson, Lou Gehrig’s Disease, etc…) are characterized by high free radical generation, high lipid peroxidation.
3. The brain consumes 20% of all oxygen in the blood, 25% of all the glucose in the blood while being only 2% of the body weight. [this article even claims 60%]
4. Every component of the brain is constantly being replaced. Some lipids are replaced weekly.

Nutrition and behavior

1. 1910 – George M Gould, MD, first mentioned connection between diet and behavior.
2. 1935 – recognized that hypoglycemia could imitate anxiety neurosis, hysteria, neurasthenia, and even psychosis.
3. 1973 – Dr Wendel and Beeb found 74% incidence of hypoglycemia with anxiety associated with schizophrenia.[3]

Hyperactivity-Behavior Connection

1. 60% of members of families with hyperactive children have diabetes, obesity or alcoholism…. all sugar consumption problems.
2. 75% of prisoners were hyperactive as children [both sources give numbers of 50% though]
3. How excessive sugar consumption triggers hyperactivity [4]:
   

Crime and Nutrition

1. Probation Violations: 56% while on a bad diet (junk food, lots of sugar); 8% while on a healthy diet
2. In particular, probation violation by using narcotics. 47% while on a bad diet; 13% on healthy diet
3. Dramatic reduction in suicides with improved diet
4. Alabama Prison systems, change of diet:
   42% reduction in criminal events
   61% reduction in antisocial behavior at one year
5. Case of Raymond who attempted murder of girlfriend
   Age 4 -spells of weakness so mother gives him a bit of sugar
   Age 13 – radical mood swings, his grades begin to fail
   Age 23 – attempts murder
   Diet: junk foods, donuts, pastries, candy and coffee
   After diet change – no further criminal activity
6. Study of prison systems in 5 states
   Adult felons had deficiencies of Mg, Zn, folate or B6
   Violent offenders had 5 – 9 deficiencies in all 5 states. “The more violent the more deficient.”
7. Oklahoma Children’s Center
   Change of diet resulted in 43% reduction in serious crime. Elimination of high fat and sucrose in diet.
8. Brain Wave abnormalities (EEG) in felons
   • Went from 14 to 2 abnormalities in those with serious offenses through supplementation
   • In one child went from 6 to 0 abnormalities by giving a vitamin
   • Even marginal deficiencies could cause criminal behavior to surface.

Selenium and Behavior

1. Deficiencies cause depression and confusion [preconceptual care]
2. High selenium supplementation (227 ug/d) saw significant improvement in mood.
3. Major role in brain function

Sugar Consumption and Behavior

1. 1900 Americans consumed 4 pounds of sugar a year
2. Now 129 pounds a year, 2500% increase [actually in 1999 it was already at 159 pounds a year]
3. 57% of this comes from processed foods
4. Leading source is fruit juices and sodas (43%)
5. Since 1974 consumption of sodas has doubled
6. Teenagers are drinking an equivalent of 54 teaspoons of sugar a day (nutritionists say not more than 10 teaspoons a day)
7. Adults age 40-59 increased intake of soft drinks 250% between 1972 and 2001
8. Over age 60+ increased 300%
9. Sugar makes the body age faster. People with a high calorie diet have more Altheimer’s disease than normal people.
10. Estimated that 50% of people have reactive hypoglycemia

Hypoglycemia and Aggression

1. Strong connection between alcohol abuse, hypoglycemia and criminal behavior
   97% of alcoholics are hypoglycemic vs 18% of controls are hypoglycemic
2. When hypoglycemia is treated:
   71% attain sobriety
   25% for Alcoholics Anonymous
3. Associated with aggression, especially those with temporal lobe dysfunction.
4. Indians of Peru – 55% hypoglycemia and aggression very high
5. Aspartame and MSG both stimulate insulin release from the pancreas and induce hypoglycemia and thus stimulates actual weight-gain.
6. MSG induces intense rage with micro-injections into the hypothalamus
7. In presence of hypoglycemia, MSG induced excito-toxicity is greatly magnified
8. Several amino-acids can make you hypoglycemic: taurine, glutamine, isoleucine, leucine… the latter kind kills babies (sudden death) and it can kill adults

Research

1. Virkkunen 1983 Study of violent offenders in prison
   • In impulsive violent offenders, blood sugar fell suddenly and rose quickly after a glucose challenge
   • Antisocial offender had a fall in blood sugar that was slow to rise
2. Ron Prinz University of Florida 1980
   • First to study effects of sugar in children
   • Children ate 40% of calories as sugar
   • The highest consumers of sugar (top 25%) demonstrated significantly poorer measures on attentiveness (hyperactive)
3. Jane Goldman at the University of Connecticut 1986
   • Giving sugar equal to one coke; decline in mental performance by 30 minutes and highly significant at 1 hour (2x as many mistakes)
   • Harmful effect subsided at 1.5 hours
4. Judith Wurtman found a strong correlation between sugar intake, behavior and brain serotonin levels
5. Can create killer mice by lowering brain serotonin
6. Dr Ralph Bolton studied the Quolla Indians in Andes of Peru, known to be very aggressive. Found that:
   • 55% of male population were hypoglycemic
   • Main diet was mostly potatoes (a very powerful hyoglycemic)
   • Docile males had a normal blood sugar
7. Egger and Carter (1985) studied 76 hyperactive children who were placed on a low carbohydrate diet, which also eliminated food dyes
   • 82% of the children improved on diet and 28% returned to normal
   • Highest reaction:
     • Yellow dye #5 (tartrazine)
     • Sodium benzoate
   • Most common reactive foods:
     • Soybeans 73%
     • Cow’s milk 64%
     • Chocolate 59%
8. College Male study Benton 1982
   • Screened for psychiatric history, drug use and medical conditions
   • Given questionnaire on aggressive behavior, hostility, anger and aggressive acts
   • Strong relationship between aggressive answers and hypoglycemia

Nutrients and Behavior: Amino Acids

1. Tryptophan (precursor to neurotransmitter serotonin)
   • Low tryptophan intake leads to depression, aggressive behavior and suicide
   • Corn is very low in tryptophan (corn flakes, cornstarch, corn flour etc…)
   • Tyrosine (precursor to epinephrine, norepinephrine (attention) and dopamine (motivation))
     • Low levels associated with depression and sensitivity to stress

Nutrients and Behavior: Vitamins

1. Niacin (vitamin B3)
   • Forms nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)
   • Pellegra-psychiatric symptoms common; 4 D’s: diarrhea, dermatitis, dementia and death
   • Subclinical deficiency described in 1938 – very common
   • Niacin-responsive schizophrenia [Counter-indication]
2. Vitamin C,D,E,K,A,B and carotenoids
   • All associated with behavioral manifestations when deficient, either in combination or alone
3. B1 deficiency: Beri-Beri
   • Insomnia, depression, memory failure, chronic fatigue and personality change
4. National Nutritional Survey of Adolescents
   • 60% deficient in iron
   • 57% in vitamin A
   • 43% in vitamin C
   • 39% in B1
   • 30% in protein
   • 16% in riboflavin

Research in Children

Study of 1.1 million NY Public school children found a daily multivitamin significantly increased CAT scores when sugar was also removed from diet

In the first three bars no dietary changes were implemented. In the first yellow bar, sugar was removed and some of the food dyes. The next bar, some more food dyes were removed. The next year no dietary changes were effected and the last year even more food additives were removed. The CAT scores improved dramatically with the removal of sugar and food additives.

Research in Adults

1. Tucker et al 1990, found that deficiencies in thiamin and riboflavin impaired neuropsychological performance and altered EEG patterns in a significant number of adults
2. Study of 260 adults age 60+ found association with status of vitamin C, riboflavin, B12, folic acid and concept learning
3. Carotene showed a stronger correlation than vitamin A

Brain Allergies

1. Food allergies associated with neurological effects
2. Immune factors interact with the brain
3. Food-triggered immune reactions: Lethargy, stupor, disorientation, paranoia, delusions, hallucinations, agitation, rage, panic attacks, criminal behavior and even seizures
4. Schizophrenia:
   • 88% allergic to wheat
   • 60% to milk
   • 50% to corn
   • 100% to gliadin or gluten
   • put on a gluten free diet almost all schizophreniacs returned to normal
5. Food allergies often result in craving for the food causing the allergy
6. Food allergies and hypoglycemia are linked (adrenal effect) [5]
7. Leading foods for allergy
   • Milk (juvenile offenders drank more milk)
   • Wheat
   • Corn
   • Coffee
   • Eggs
   • Potato
   • Peanuts
   • Soy

Research Showing a Connection Between Nutritional Status and Brain Function

1. Animals fed lard (animal fat) had impaired spatial learning, temporal memory
2. Newer studies found impaired ability to learn and remember with saturated animal fats
3. Omega-3 fats improved depression, memory retention and thinking (brain uses much omega-3 fats for its membrane)
4. Animal fat absorb pesticides, industrial chemicals and herbicides
5. DHA and arachidonic acid (omega 3 fats) in baby formulas to improve infant brain quality
6. Low level of DHA in neurons correlated with violent behavior
7. MSG injected into hypothalamus or amygdala could produce rage
8. Lead is known to significantly increase violent behavior, suicide and juvenile delinquency

“N-3″ and “N-6″ stand for Omega-6 fatty acids (bad) and Omega-3 fatty acids (good), respectively.
