The price for ridding society of bad is always high
In June of 1945, this striking letter arrived at the home of 3-year-old Dennis Helms in Washington, written on a sheet of Adolf Hitler's letterhead. It had been penned by his father, Lt. Richard Helms, an intelligence operative with the OSS who, following Germany's surrender the month before, had managed to acquire some of the recently-deceased Nazi leader's stationery from the Reich Chancellery. He then wrote to his son. Richard Helms later became Director of the CIA. Transcript follows. Transcript OBERSALZBERG, DEN V-E dayADOLF HITLERDear Dennis, The man who might have written on this card once controlled Europe — three short years ago when you were born.

Chronicle: Mouth, gut bacteria found in arteries
Ian Hewson The same types of bacteria found in arterial plaque, which causes atherosclerosis, are also found in the mouth and gut. The same types of bacteria found in arterial plaque, which causes atherosclerosis, are also found in the mouth and gut, according to the first general survey of all bacteria found in plaques from the mouth, gut and blood. The study, conducted by researchers from Cornell and University of Gothenburg, Sweden and published online in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, may one day offer new ways to detect heart disease and could lead to drugs that target these bacteria to reduce arterial plaque and atherosclerosis. In atherosclerosis, a fatty material called plaque collects along the walls of arteries, where it thickens, hardens (forming calcium deposits) and may eventually block the arteries. The findings show that such bacteria as Veillonella and Streptococcus were the most abundant microbiota found in plaque.
What Happens When I Die?
There is no way to understand death if you don't know what life is. What happens between the moment you take your first breath and the moment you draw your very last? Who is it that is looking out through your eyes? Is it not the same quality of awareness that existed right before you read these words? Is that quality of awareness not the same quality that existed yesterday and the day before? And that awareness, the pure state of awareness was there before you could form words or even knew your name. The essential self is not contained within the boundaries of worldly identification, although it plays in those fields. The essential self is not limited in perception by the five senses, although it enjoys experiencing them. The self that is eternal is not limited by space and time, although it uses space and time to creatively express its essence. The Realized Self came from nowhere and is going nowhere, but may choose different manifestations perhaps throughout the birth-life continuum.

15 of the Deadliest U.S. Corporations
These corporations, if they were individual human beings, would be locked up for life. Instead, they continue raking in the big bucks. Human rights abuses, murder, war, eco disasters, and animal exploitation keep these evil companies raking in the green. Prepare to be disgusted. Chevron Image Source Several big oil companies make this list, but Chevron deserves a special place in Hell. DeBeers Image Source Diamonds are a girl's best friend -- unless she lives in the Ivory Coast. Tyson Even if you don't care about the horrendous animal abuse that has been documented in Tyson's factory farms, you have to flinch at Tyson's appalling environmental abuses and workers' rights violations, as well as the fact that on several occasions, Tyson has allowed e coli tainted beef to enter the food supply.
