Monday, 6pm EST, Sept. 12, 2011:Today's show is dedicated to two vitally important subjects: first is our covering the FDA's attempt to de-rail legislation that protects our right to nutritional supplementation. If the FDA, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Monsanto & Big Pharma Inc., would, in effect, define nutritional supplementation as drugs, thus limiting its availability only through physicians. Next is lettuce and tomato! To discuss this today is health advocacy lawyer and founder of www.citizens.org, Jim Turner. Jim has been involved for decades in challenging the FDA on numerous points as they uphold Big Pharma over their mandate, which is to provide consumer protection.

If we do not defeat the FDA’s efforts here, this would position us much like Europe, where Codex was recently passed and now, after a long thousand + year tradition of natural medicine, herbs and homeopathy, Europeans cannot access these simple remedies except through a doctor.  This is a call to action: we must barrage the phone lines of our representatives with our demand that this madness be stopped (seewww.abetterworld.net for specific language and phone #'s.)Immediately or forever hold our peace.

Second, in honor of the 10th anniversary of the pulverization of the WTC, Mitchell will speak with 9-11 Truth facilitator & leader, Les Jamieson from Brooklyn, NY who has studied the alternative research into 9/11 since November, 2001. Les has attended 9/11 Commission hearings, including those by the NIST investigation into why the buildings collapsed, which has given him an up close realization of the depth and scope of the official cover-up.   Les has been central in planning several large 9/11 symposia around the country and here in NYC. He was a main organizer for the 3-year long film series at St. Marks Church on Sundays in New York's east village. Next, Les was a leading organizer for the NYC 9/11 Ballot Initiative which sought to empower the voters of New York City to call for the establishment of a new, independent investigation of 9/11. Those who have not scrutinized the subject but just accepted the official version will have the opportunity to understand what happened from a whole new point of view, based on evidence and science, not belief system or political persuasion.
