Thanks, Robert Sterling Editor, The Konformist http://www.konformist.com http://www.konformist.com/botm/volume03/botm0599.htm Beast of the Month - May 1999 Monsanto, Korporate Chemical Giant "I yam an anti-Christ..." John Lydon (aka Johnny Rotten) of The Sex Pistols, "Anarchy in the UK" Sometimes, evil is obvious and in your face: take, for example, the NATO bombings of Kosovo, or the school massacre at Littleton, Colorado. At other times, however, evil is secretive and hidden, and when that happens, it often hides in the most unlikely place: out in the open. This is the most popular place to hide for huge multi-national korporations such as Monsanto, The Konformist Beast of the Month, the U.S.-based chemical behemoth whose products are loved and consumed regularly by Americans, despite the fact that even a marginal inspection of their history would reveal a shocking pattern of deceit and contempt for its customers. For those of you who are unaware, Monsanto is best known for introducing the sugar substitute aspartame, which they sell under the brand names of NutraSweet and Equal. Contrary to what the name "NutraSweet" implies, however, aspartame is not nutritious, and is quite unhealthy, having earned the nickname "NutraPoison" from critics. As reported in Alex Constantine's now-classic underground conspiracy expose "Psychic Dictatorship in the USA" (in the aptly-titled chapter devoted to Monsanto and NutraSweet "The Swirl and the Swastika"), as well as the work of noted Monsanto critic Betty Martini of Mission Possible, aspartame has been documented to cause headaches, numbness, fatigue, blurred vision and blindness, heart palpitations, brain lesions and tumors, memory loss, dizziness, muscle spasms, irritability, anxiety attacks, vertigo, seizures, rashes, tachycardia, tinnitus, joint pain, nausea, mood alterations and depression, hearing loss, slurred speech, loss of taste, and insomnia, as well as erode intelligence and short-term memory. It also helps trigger multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, chronic fatigue syndrome, Epstein Barr, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, diabetes, mental retardation, lymphoma, and birth defects. No real surprise here: originally, aspartame was categorized as a biochemical warfare weapon by the Pentagon in a list submitted to Congress. In 1969, Dr. Harry Waisman studied the effects of aspartame on primates, and seven infant monkeys were fed the chemical in milk. One died after 300 days, 5 others had Grand Mal seizures. These findings were deleted from the report to the FDA. MIT researchers surveyed 80 people who suffered brain seizures after eating or drinking products with Aspartame, and the Community Nutrition Institute states: "These 80 cases meets the FDA's own definition of an imminent hazard to the public health, which requires the FDA to expeditiously remove a product from the market." Despite this, NutraSweet was in over 9,000 foods by 1997 and on nearly every restaurant table. The irony is that the two things aspartame is most often marketed for, diabetes and weight loss, it has been shown to not be beneficial for. According to Dr. H. J. Roberts, after summarizing 58 diabetic aspartame reactors, "I now advise ALL patients with diabetes and hypoglycemia to avoid Aspartame products." Further, aspartame triggers a craving for carbohydrates, hardly the reaction wanted for those trying to lose pounds. The FDA has received more than 10,000 consumer complaints over aspartame, approximately 80% of all complaints about food additives since being introduced to the market. If the FDA was an honest organization, NutraSweet would not have ever been approved: fortunately for Monsanto, that isn't the case. Former FDA Commissioner Arthur Hayes overruled his own board of inquiry to approve aspartame (claiming, falsely, that criticism was "anecdotal") then went to work for a public relations firm retained by G.D. Searle (the company which introduced the product that was acquired by Monsanto in 1985.) Federal attorney Sam Skinner was assigned to prosecute Searle for fraudulent tests in their application, but switched sides and went to work for Searle's lawyers instead. Thanks to the compromised nature of the FDA, Monsanto has received a yearly multi-billion dollar license to kill through aspartame, one that it defends relentlessly. They have waged a campaign against stevia, the natural zero-calorie herbal sweetener that is up to 300 times sweeter than sugar, using the FDA - supposedly its "watchdog" - as an attack dog instead. Claiming that stevia has not been proven to be safe as a sweetener (something that aspartame has been certifiably shown not to be), the FDA, under intense pressure and backing by Monsanto, banned it in 1991, then later lifted the ban after receiving numerous complaints from outraged consumers. Still, stevia is only available as a food supplement, and manufacturers can't add it to foods or drinks. In

Monsanto's aspartame is degraded to methyl alcohol at temperatures about 86 degrees. The alcohol then deteriorates to formaldehyde and formic acid. These chemicals are toxic to the optic nerve and the nervous system in general, especially to the insulating myelin sheath of nerve fibers. The incidence of multiple sclerosis, a demyelinating disease, has now reached epidemic proportions since aspartame has been on the market. Byron Weeks, MD Please send as far and wide as possible.

-Caveat Lector- For more info on 'aspartame' go: http://www.peg.apc.org/~nexus/Aspartame.html The Bitter Truth About Artificial Sweetners. It causes more damage than just to the nervous system and the optic nerves. (This information has been available for over 15 years. Personally, I don't touch the stuff, knowingly, myself). There are now reports showing that people who consume more than one can of diet pop, or the same amount of nurtasweet i.e. aspartame weekly, they are building a serum level that acts in conjunction with HAARP and/or ELF, as a type of conductor; which predisposes the central brain operations, acting as a type of magnifying agent. So, if "they" are using these devices to cause 'passivity'... those who consume artificial sweetners such as nutrasweet, will become more passive than those who do not consume the product. Some even more than others depending upon what 'pulse' is used. If I can relocate these articles showing the evidence I will be sure to pass them on. eagle1 -Original Message- From: Dr Byron Weeks [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wednesday, June 02, 1999 11:09 AM Subject: [CTRL] [Fwd: Konformist: Beast of the Month - May 1999] Monsanto's aspartame is degraded to methyl alcohol at temperatures about 86 degrees.
