<p><strong>That&#8217;s only 53 years ago!</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.failedexperiment.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/55chevy.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-81" title="55chevy" src="http://www.failedexperiment.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/55chevy-300x164.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="164" /></a><br />
&#8220;I&#8217;ll tell you one thing, if things keep going the way they are, it&#8217;s going to be impossible to buy a week&#8217;s groceries for $20.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Have you seen the new cars coming out next year? It won&#8217;t be long before $2000 will only buy a used one.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;If cigarettes keep going up in price, I&#8217;m going to quit. A quarter a pack is ridiculous.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Did you hear the post office is thinking about charging a dime just to mail a letter?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;If they raise the minimum wage to $1, nobody will be able to hire outside help at the store.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;When I started driving, who would have thought gas would someday cost 29 cents a gallon. Guess we&#8217;d be better off leaving the car in the garage.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Kids today are impossible. Those duck tail hair cuts make it impossible to stay groomed. Next thing you know, boys will be wearing their hair as long as the girls.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.failedexperiment.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/actress.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-83" title="actress" src="http://www.failedexperiment.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/actress-300x223.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="223" /></a><br />
&#8220;I&#8217;m afraid to send my kids to the movies any more. Ever since they let Clark Gable get by with saying &#8216;damn&#8217; in &#8216;Gone With The Wind,&#8217; it seems every new movie has either &#8220;hell&#8221; or &#8220;damn&#8221; in it.</p>
<p>&#8220;I read the other day where some scientist thinks it&#8217;s possible to put a man on the moon by the end of the century They even have some fellows they call astronauts preparing for it down in Texas &#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Did you see where some baseball player just signed a contract for $75,000 a year just to play ball? It wouldn&#8217;t surprise me if someday they&#8217;ll be making more than the president.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I never thought I&#8217;d see the day all our kitchen appliances would be electric. They are even making electric typewriters now.&#8221;<br />
<a href="http://www.failedexperiment.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/records.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-85" title="records" src="http://www.failedexperiment.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/records.jpg" alt="" width="294" height="250" /></a></p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s too bad things are so tough nowadays. I see where a few married women are having to work to make ends meet.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;It won&#8217;t be long before young couples are going to have to hire someone to watch their kids so they can both work.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Marriage doesn&#8217;t mean a thing any more; those Hollywood stars seem to be getting divorced at the drop of a hat.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m just afraid the Volkswagen car is going to open the door to a whole lot of foreign business.&#8221;<br />
<a href="http://www.failedexperiment.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/phone.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-84" title="phone" src="http://www.failedexperiment.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/phone.jpg" alt="" width="202" height="202" /></a></p>
<p>&#8220;Thank goodness I won&#8217;t live to see the day when the Government takes half our income in taxes. I sometimes wonder if we are electing the best people to congress.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;The drive-in restaurant is convenient in nice weather, but I seriously doubt they will ever catch on.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;There is no sense going to Lincoln or Omaha anymore for a weekend. It costs nearly $15 a night to stay in a hotel.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;No one can afford to be sick any more; $35 a day in the hospital is too rich for my blood.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;If they think I&#8217;ll pay 50 cents for a hair cut, forget it.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.failedexperiment.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/55corvette.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-82" title="55corvette" src="http://www.failedexperiment.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/55corvette-300x150.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="150" /></a></p>

<p>As such, the media has quite literally become the enemy of the people. Rather than informing people about things that matter in the world, the media uses its power to fill peoples&#8217; heads with falsehoods. And when it&#8217;s not reporting falsehoods, it&#8217;s keeping the people distracted with wall-to-wall coverage of stories that really don&#8217;t matter at all, such as celebrity mishaps (does anybody really care what Paris Hilton does next?), isolated acts of violence (always with explicit footage) and fear-mongering campaigns (the terror alert is now orange again!).</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt">It&#8217;s all become bread and circuses. (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bread_and_circuses"><span style="color: #3866bc;">Click here to read the Wikipedia explanation of this phrase &#8220;bread and circuses&#8221;</span></a> in case you don&#8217;t already know its historical context.)</p>
<p>This nation no longer has any desire to keep its people informed, educated or healthy. The effort now is to keep people disinformed, ignorant and diseased. This is accomplished precisely through actions like this antioxidant study in which researchers pretending to conduct science send fabricated stories to a press pretending to report the news. When this kind of action is repeated a few hundred times a year, it leaves the population distrusting all nutritional supplements and believing that only synthetic patented chemicals (pharmaceuticals) can solve their health problems. It is no coincidence that pharmaceuticals are allowed to be advertised everywhere, promoted with outrageously false claims of benefits, and that such advertising is in no way regulated by anyone. &#8220;Free speech&#8221; is granted to pharmaceutical companies, but not to dietary supplement companies. It is my belief that free speech is not free if it only selectively allowed.</p>
<p>So we have a conspiratorial trio now working in concert to keep you stupid and diseased: The mainstream media (which takes billions of dollars each year from drug companies), the drug companies (which earn billions of dollars each year selling advertised drugs), and the FDA (which enforces the monopoly and eliminates competition by censoring truthful information about dietary supplements). It is this trio which explains why Americans now pay the highest prices in the world for health care and yet are simultaneously the most diseased people of any industrialized nation in the world.</p>

<p>We interrupt the normal flow of natural health information today to bring you an urgent message about free speech and &#8220;thought crimes&#8221; in America. The <span class="yshortcuts">U.S. Senate</span> is about to pass a law that would criminalize merely <em>thinking </em>thoughts in support of the <span class="yshortcuts">U.S. Constitution</span>, or against the war on Iraq, or against any government office (including the <span class="yshortcuts">FDA</span>). All across the internet, top bloggers, authors and commentators are expressing their deep concerns about this new &#8220;anti-terrorism&#8221; law and how it could plunge America into police state tyranny.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Here&#8217;s a MUST-SEE video featuring a recent lecture by Naomi Wolfe. You must watch this if you care about your freedom! It&#8217;s an extraordinary look at how history is repeating itself in America today. Click this link to view it: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjALf12PAWc" target="_blank"><span class="yshortcuts"><span style="color: #003399; text-decoration: none">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjALf12PAWc</span></span></a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This is a frightening time in America today. You are witnessing and living through the downfall of a free nation and the rise of a fascist state superpower. Read the first story below to inform yourself now about what&#8217;s really happening to our freedoms and Constitutional rights in America today. This is no conspiracy theory, it&#8217;s a genuine <span class="yshortcuts">U.S. Senate</span> bill that&#8217;s about to be voted on!</p>
