A Guide To Psychoactive Plants In The Bible

Suppose Christians took a closer look at what their holy book is truly discussing? NeuroBrainstorm looks at a wide range of biblically-key plants with mind-altering properties:

Holy Anointing Oil – (Leviticus 10:6) Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment. (Exodus 29:7) Then shalt thou take the anointing oil, and pour it upon his head and anoint him.

The holy anointing oil is a potent psychedelic extract…essentially an anxiolytic-hallucinogen. The transdermal application of it led to its absorption and psychoactive effects, even in extremely low doses. The bible suggests anointing with a large amount of oil possibly to ensure a psychedelic response.

Manna – (Exodus 16 14, 31) Behold…there lay a small round thing, as small as the hoar frost on the ground. And the house of Israel called the name thereof Manna: and it was like coriander seed, white; and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey.

Manna was a holy food that was white and brown, circle shaped, and would appear in the morning dew. The Israelites would live off it when traveling from village to village. Once they got near a village, it would disappear. Terrence Mckenna suggested that this was the exact description of psilocybin-containing mushrooms.

(Song of Songs 4:13-15) Your plants are an orchard of pomegranates with choice fruits, with henna and nard, nard and saffron, calamus and cinnamon, with every kind of incense tree, with myrrh and aloes and all the finest spices. You are a garden fountain, a well of flowing water streaming down from Lebanon.

Spikenard, also called nard, is an anxiolytic and nootropic. Jesus was anointed with a big jar of spikenard. Spikenard increases gaba as well as serotonin in the brain. Saffron is a spice derived from the crocus flower. It is shown to be an anti-depressant in humans.

Rahall under fire on power plants

The National Republican Congressional Committee considers Rahall a top target this cycle. | AP Photo

Republicans aren’t waiting for the Environmental Protection Agency to issue new rules for power plants before using them to go after Rep. Nick Rahall.

The West Virginia Democrat is coming under GOP fire for being too cozy with President Barack Obama and his administration, which is expected to release new power plant CO₂ rules that are virtually certain to add to the coal industry’s burdens.

Continue Reading

“Last month, Nick Rahall made a public show of meeting with the EPA, claiming progress in persuading them to stop its War on Coal. If this report is true, he was wrong,” says a statement from state Sen. Evan Jenkins, a former Democrat who switched to the GOP to run against Rahall. “It’s crystal clear by now that Rahall lacks either the courage or the clout to stop this War on Coal; West Virginia deserves better.”

Jenkins was referring to news reports about EPA’s upcoming power plant emissions rule and Rahall’s July appearance at a ceremony to rename EPA’s headquarters after former President Bill Clinton.

The National Republican Congressional Committee considers Rahall a top target this cycle and has already run TV ads attacking him, such as the 30-second spot in early September highlighting his attendance at the EPA ceremony and support for a broader progressive caucus budget plan that included a carbon tax.

Just last week, the NRCC picked up on a POLITICO item about Rahall mistaking an umbrella for a lump of coal at a transportation news conference. It blasted out a notice headlined “Nick Rahall’s War on Umbrellas” and said, “The chief economic staple of West Virginia is coal. But Congressman Nick Rahall has been in Washington so long he seems to have forgotten what coal looks like.”

Rahall told POLITICO in late July that he attended the Clinton ceremony to get some face time with EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy about the agency’s dealings with his state’s coal industry. He followed up by joining Sen. Joe Manchin, Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin, other West Virginia Democrats and the vice president of the state’s coal association in a meeting with McCarthy and White House Legislative Affairs Director Miguel Rodriguez.

He told POLITICO Thursday that he won’t shy away from direct talks with McCarthy and other administration officials, even though he noted his constituents’ views toward EPA’s coal policies are overwhelmingly negative.

“The few times it’s come up there’s been no negative back home on it. It’s been positive. I mean, why wouldn’t I go meet with her? How else are you supposed to get something done?” he said. “In fact, I’ve brought it up more times than it’s come up in any press inquiries or any other forms. I’ll meet with her as often as I can, wherever I can.”

Those discussions with McCarthy ought to be helping coal’s position, he said, and he will make that case after its power plant rules are released.

Obama has put EPA at the forefront of his effort to combat climate change, and he requested the agency propose new greenhouse gas controls for future power plants by Sept. 20. Those rules are expected to be tough on coal, and they will most likely force any new power plants that burn the fuel to use expensive carbon-capture technology.

Rahall said he didn’t expect that EPA’s CO₂ rules would be welcomed by the coal industry.

“You have to fear the worst considering the last past six years or so and what has come out of EPA,” Rahall said.

Rahall said he has had conversations with House Energy and Power Subcommittee Chairman Ed Whitfield about legislation the Kentucky Republican is drafting that would require EPA to approve future coal plants that meet certain emission levels set out in the bill.

US nuclear plants vulnerable to 9/11-style terrorist attacks: report

Published time: August 16, 2013 10:18

The more than 100 nuclear reactors across the United States are inadequately prepared to repulse terrorist attacks, a new report warns.

The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission, or NRC, presently requires that energy plants are capable of preventing attacks carried out by five or six people, according to the report, entitled “Protecting US Nuclear Facilities from Terrorist Attack.”

The report, prepared by the Nuclear Proliferation Prevention Project at the University of Texas, focuses on the terrorist attacks of 2001, and warns the NRC to prepare for something much bigger down the road.

The combined public and private security provided at the US’s 104 commercial nuclear reactors and three research reactors “is inadequate to defend against a maximum, credible, non-state adversary,” the researchers said, adding that private-sector nuclear facilities remain “less protected than government facilities that face similar risks of theft of fissile material or radiological sabotage, which makes no sense.”

There also remains the risk of attacks from “high-powered sniper rifles and rocket-propelled grenades,” the researchers said.

The report also draws particular attention to security at three research reactors, including one in Maryland that is situated 24 miles from the White House. These facilities are powered by highly-enriched uranium, which could be used to make nuclear weapons if the supplies fell into the hands of terrorists.

The US government has made some progress since September 11, 2001, when nuclear plants only had to protect against attacks by three people, according to Alan Kuperman, the project coordinator and a co-author of the report.

“That is a good sign of progress, but that does not address the concern we have about nuclear reactors,” Kuperman said.

Since 2001, the US nuclear industry has spent over $ 2 billion on enhanced security, the report said, adding “it is difficult to know if those enhancements have been adequate.”

A spokesman for the nuclear energy sector’s trade agency, the Nuclear Energy Institute, told Reuters that security at US nuclear facilities had improved markedly since 9/11, with a total of 9,000 armed officers guarding them.

But according to the report’s authors, even that seemingly robust number of officers would not be enough to fight off a well-coordinated terrorist attack.

Prior to the revisions following the 9/11 attacks, “the numbers (of anticipated terrorists attacking a nuclear site) were kept relatively low because intelligence agencies generally assumed that they themselves were capable of detecting conspiracies of more than a few members.”

That assumption, the report says, was proven wrong by the events of 9/11 when 19 hijackers, using commercial jets as weapons of mass destruction, successfully staged terrorist attacks on New York City and Washington, DC.

The NRC slammed the report, which was requested by the Pentagon, as a “rehash of arguments from a decade ago,” when the country was on high alert following the deadliest attacks on American soil.

“The report contains no new information or insight,” David McIntyre, an NRC spokesman, told Reuters. He said the nuclear watchdog had bolstered security requirements for commercial nuclear power plants and was confident that these were adequately protected.

The question now is how the US government, which has been forced to trim back on federal programs in the aftermath of the economic crisis, will be able to foot the bill for more security at America’s nuclear energy plants.

Tips On How To Run Apple Orchards

There is actually more to running ohio apple orchards than just planting trees. However, the main point to running such establishments is the harvesting of the fruits which is usually done sometime in the middle of August or early September. Orchards can offer farmers and businessmen ways to earn money but they must know very well how to run these.

Apples are fruits known to be with so many varieties. As sellers, it will be important for farmers or businessmen to be familiar of the differences in each of them. All in all, 26 types of varieties exist in the market and each of these vary on taste, color, growth period and texture. A few of the common varieties are Golden Delicious, Red Delicious, Granny Smith, Gala, Macintosh and Fuji. Other varieties are Macoun, Cortland, Paulareds, Honey Crisp, Braeburn and Jonagold.

It is also important for business to know about the laws governing agriculture. To know more about the applicable standards on pesticides and many other agrichemicals used on plants, EPA would be the association to consult. However, consumers nowadays mostly prefer produces which have undergone less chemical treatment. For such reason, many have started to consider more organic operations instead.

Selling of the produce will form part of among the important aspects in running apple orchards. Common venues often considered for this are farmers markets, craft fairs and grocery stores. Depending on how big the orchard is, business owners might even need to learn how to go about washing and waxing fruits, storing them and inspecting them for quality.

It will also be important for the business to draft some approaches on how customer interest can be perked up. In other words, businesses of this type also need to think of ways on how they will be enticing buyers to do business with them. Hosting pick-your-own tours and apple festivals are commonly considered for this though. The same goes for education programs which help garner in profit while helping in educating the community.

The daily operation of the business must be maintained. Business owners should know when the best time to hire additional employees will be necessary. They should also consider keeping records of their employees, their profit and loss over the business period, along with the sales they have made.

Taking care of the orchard will also be essential for the progression of the business. An owner should make sure that the business establishment will be appealing to the public eye all the time. Matters even as simple as clearing off unsightly weeds which can affect the growth of other plants should be considered. Planting of trees and many other decorative plants may also be considered.

Pruning the apple trees once every year, preferably March, can help in removing branches that might have been damaged during the winter season. The process will also allow the nutrients of the trees to be diverted into healthier sections. When opting for the approach, it will be necessary to ensure that the trees are still in their dormant stage while undergoing the process though.

Regular watering will also form part of the essentials in running ohio apple orchards. Trees are expected to be watered once per week throughout the summer season. During winter or dormant seasons though, watering must be slowed down.
