Peanut Butter and Illness

I have a thought, just follow me for a moment. Peanut Butter, is one of most kids, favorite foods or at least a part of every diet. We have had illness after illness locally here. Schools have shutdown due to the high absenteeism. Brownsboro just recently had a closure because of so many kids out with "flu-like" symptoms.
Let's see what they say about Salmonella.
"A food borne illness that can cause death if not treated with antibiotics, salmonella's symptoms include diarrhea, fever and abdominal cramps. I also know that it can cause vomiting as well.
Now if your child is having the above symptoms, did you stop to think, perhaps they too ate Peanut Butter sometime in the past few months.
I know how serious Salmonella can be, my mother in-law and father in-law, were both hospitalized in horrible conditions due to this from food they ate at a Greek restaurant in Florida where they resided. My Father in-law was unconscious and unresponsive for weeks, and then eventually died soon after, my mother in-law died two weeks before he did. This is not a sickness, to just take for granted. It will flat kill you, especially if your very young, or very old.
I thank God that he puts His protective hand over us at times, as just the night that this report came out, I was going to come home and have a Peanut Butter sandwich with Grape jelly. Guess what, I didn't and I got sidetracked and instead ate in town. That evening the report was on the news and I checked the new bottle of Peanut Butter I had bought at China Land (Walmart) and it had the 2111 number on the lid. I would probably be laid up sick or even dying, if I would have came home and ate my favorite sandwich. I have loved peanut butter and jelly since I was a kid. Folks, Salmonella is serious stuff.
Salmonella is not just a little bug or flu, it's such an important bacteria that Salmonella sickens about 40,000 people a year in the U.S. and kills about 600 people a year!
Now, how did this deadly bacteria get in Peanut Butter which is supposed to die when Peanut Butter is a cooked food before it is ever put in the jars?
Well it seems the CDC may have determined that it was the jars that the bacteria is in. Who knows?
The stranger part of this all is that the strain in this outbreak, Salmonella serotype Tennessee, is comparatively rare, as is salmonella contamination of peanut products, said Caroline Smith DeWaal, director of food safety at the Center for Science in the Public Interest.
Wow, another odd strain of something. Follow me for a moment. If anyone read about project PROJECT SHAD that the U.S. government experimented with things like Salmonella, etc, by spraying U.S. warships with these nasty little bacterias and such?
You are probably not, most people live their lives with rose colored glasses on. Well, if you do some digging, you will find the DOD site pertaining to this now declassified project.
Project SHAD, an acronym for Shipboard Hazard and Defense, was part of the joint service chemical and biological warfare test program conducted during the 1960s. Project SHAD encompassed tests designed to identify US warships' vulnerabilities to attacks with chemical or biological warfare agents and to develop procedures to respond to such attacks while maintaining a war-fighting capability. Although classified, the Department of Defense has been actively pursuing declassification of relevant medical information. To date twelve SHAD projects have been evaluated and released for your review.
The SHAD program planned as many as a hundred individual tests and was part of the larger Deseret Test Center program. Many tests were never actually executed. DoD investigators plan to look at all Deseret Test Center’s chemical and biological tests conducted between 1963 and 1970
Of the 4,300 sailors known to be involved (exposed), to our knowledge, only 622 have been notified.
For example DTC 48-50 was Staphylococcal Enterotoxin a type B toxin. A tracer in the aerosol was used called, Bacillus subtilis var. niger, another obnoxious little bacteria. They sprayed the U.S. Granville S. Hall and some 5 Army tugs with this stuff. This hasn't been the first time the U.S. has played havoc with lives by experimenting all in the name of War!
Now, here we are, all this talk about Terrorism, and worries over even our food chain being possibly poisoned by Terrorist it makes you wonder, hmm.
Perhaps, we need to be more conscious of the fact that experiments have been done in the past and they have been done in the present and knowing governments, they will be done in the future.
Maybe, this just started out as a small experiment from someone, and it grew. In the past year we have had all kinds of food scares like the PROJECT POPEYE - I call it, when our fresh Spinach went haywire for awhile there. Boy did, I miss my Spinach salad with olive oil then.
Now ConAgra one of the conglomerate food companies that has swallowed up a lot of farms and other small food production companies, is responsible for making hundreds sick since August with Salmonella. Of course, they say, not us, or maybe it was the jars. Anyway, this NWO food conglomerate has been in trouble more than once. ConAgra Inc. was charged in the past with fraud and fined $4.4 million according to the Corporate Crime Reporter 12(1), March 24, 1997.
So, who knows what exactly goes on out there, maybe they bought their jars real cheap from an Eco-Terrorist or something. Maybe, the government set this up, as a test, maybe it was all an accident (doubtful, considering the rarity of the type of Salmonella) but either way, we need to as Americans realize when we gave up producing our own food, raising our own cattle, etc., we were in for some trouble.
I heard a guy in 1977 talk about all this coming- he was truly a prophet in the sense he knew where it was all going, the end of the American Farmer and small companies. See, the theory was back then that the Tri-Lateral Commission- David Rockefeller and a lot of elitist cronies, wanted to gain 4 things as the primary stock holders, and that was food, oil, banking and water. If you have control of these, you control the world. Well, the day of small man doing small things is gone to the large companies doing, large things, and enslaving you to them. I know this sounds like bunk to most people, but as a Christian, I have devoted myself to exposing evil to the light. It takes time and effort and lots of research to do so. You are welcome to check out the facts for yourself.
Anyway, I digress, back to Peanut Butter. I sure miss those sandwiches right now. If I only "had wishes", if I only had my own farm, my own peanuts, my own wheat, maybe it would be safe to eat again, but it is beginning to seem that's not possible anymore. Enjoy, your spinach salad for now folks, until the next time your kids come home from school sick, ask what they have been eating, the flu just may be food poisoning. What do we do now? Perhaps we quit eating, have our kids bring the school lunch home before they eat it, so we can send it all of to a lab to be tested first. Now, there's a great idea for new business, come up with a pocket test kit, to test your food for poisons and other toxins before you eat. I think I'll work on that idea next and come up with it and become a large conglomerate business selling these to parents, so they can protect their kids and their own selves from the dangers of this crazy world we live in now.
