Health Ranger's predictions for 2011 - 2012; an era of self reliance and human awakening
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor

(NaturalNews) What's ahead for 2011 - 2012? This time in human history promises to bring forth more changes than any other
similar duration of time known to our civilization. I believe the changes that will occur in the next two years will rock the foun-
dations of our economies, governments and belief systems. In the end, after considerable turmoil, I see a great expansion of hu-
man consciousness and a maturing of the human race. Here are the details...

More people growing their own food

Beginning in 2011 and continuing for many years beyond, we will see an explosion in the number of people growing their own
food. People see the big trends in the food supply fast approaching: GMO contamination of crops, the loss of local food produc-
tion due to FDA interference, the crackdown on small farmers, and even disruptions in the global food supply.

As people realize the importance of having their own home-grown source of food, we will see a surge in backyard gardens, food
storage and in-home production methods such as sprouting and food dehydrating.

We will see a strong "back to basics" interest surge leading up to 2012, with many people choosing to move out of high-density
cities (or even high-density nations) and seek self-reliance in more rural areas.

This will also reveal renewed interest in home-grown meat production with more people growing (and eating) their own chick-
ens and cows rather than relying on processed, factory-farmed meats.

Increased awareness of natural remedies and health freedom

The natural health community will achieve significant victories over the next two years in awakening people to natural remedies,
medicinal herbs and the core ideas of health freedom. The monopolistic pushers of pharmaceuticals are fighting a desperate, los-
ing battle to try to keep people ignorant, but they will lose that fight and natural medicine will ultimately emerge as the healing
method of choice for an increasing number of people.

Natural childbirth will continue to gain recognition around the world, and more parents will begin to question the ADHD drug-
ging of their children. The industry of psychiatry as we know it today will continue crumbling under the burden of fraud and
criminal behavior, finally collapsing well before 2020 thanks to the efforts of a few groups, notably CCHR.

The global shift away from pharmaceuticals and toward disease prevention and nutrition will accelerate in 2011 - 2012, with vi-
tamin D leading the charge. An increasing number of people will learn about top nutrients such as resveratrol, astaxanthin and
omega-3s. Nutrition education will become increasingly evident in public schools, and many school lunch programs will be re-
worked to remove more processed dead foods and increase real nutrition.

Significant victories will be achieved over water fluoridation, mercury fillings and GMOs (see below). The vaccine issue, how-
ever, will remain highly contentious. Victory over seasonal flu vaccines will take many more years...

More people waking up to reality

Today, most people are sleepwalking through their lives, functioning as cogs in a giant machine of which they have no knowl-
edge and no control. Over the next two years, that will significantly change. More and more people will be awakened into a state
of awareness. They will realize that living out their lives working mundane jobs, watching television, eating junk food and tak-
ing pharmaceuticals is not fulfilling their true purpose in life, and many will seek a higher purpose.

An increasing number of people will come to understand that their lives are mere illusion -- that they've been following pro-
gramming set out for them by others, and that if they wish to truly achieve freedom (of mind), they must break out of the pat-
terns that have been constructed for them.

As a result, we're going to see more people rebelling against the status quo while simultaneously expanding their own awareness
of the bigger picture -- how things work in our world and what their role might be in uplifting our shared reality.

In the short term, this might result in a tremendous amount of strife, but in the end, it will give rise to a true uplifting of con-
sciousness among the people in our world.

Specific upcoming victories in the world of natural health

The People will achieve significant victories over GMOs. I believe that We the People will ultimately win this battle against
GMOs in America. As information about the dangers of GMOs continues to spread, people will increasingly demand that GMO
foods be labeled. With enough support (perhaps in 2012, but probably later), a law will be passed requiring that GMO foods be
labeled as such, and that will spell the beginning of the end of the GMO era in America.
 The FDA will, one way or another, be forced to admit that mercury fillings ("silver fillings") are dangerous for human health. At
the very least, the agency will warn that children and expectant mothers should not be exposed to silver fillings. If this does not
happen, you can expect a popular revolt against the FDA and a loud cry for the dissolution of the entire agency.

The next big public health battle will be over water fluoridation, and you can expect NaturalNews, the Fluoride Action Network
and many other organizations to turn up the heat on the dangers of water fluoridation. Expect to see the fluoride pushers eventu-
ally forced to back down and admit that the fluoride dripped into the municipal water supplies is actually collected as a toxic
waste byproduct of the phosphate mining industry. (We are releasing a significant mini-documentary on this topic in the next 30
days.) The reputation of the ADA -- which has backed mercury fillings for decades -- is headed into the dumpsters.

On the issue of freedom and liberty, I predict a surge of interest in Libertarian political philosophy from both former Democrats
and former Republicans who realize that the path to prosperity and freedom is found in individual liberty and personal responsi-
bility. I see the Tea Party suffering from disillusionment as its own elected members betray its supporters with more taxes and
Big Government spending. Expect to see Ron Paul and Rand Paul do extraordinarily well in the coming years (as long as they
stay on principle), and watch for a groundswell of popular support for the once-again-new idea of sensibly limited government.

Watch for a rise in the Tenth Amendment movement in America as an increasing number of Americans fight back against what
they see as a dangerous expansion of the power of the federal government. With the TSA in your pants and the FDA in your
greenhouse, there's no telling what part of your life Big Brother wants to control next. America was founded on the idea of lim-
ited government, and I believe we'll see a powerful, passionate movement that seeks to bring the federal government back down
to its Constitutionally-mandated size (which is a fraction of its current size and scope). The Tenth Amendment, by the way, spe-
cifically reserves all rights not specifically granted to the federal government to be held by the States or the People. The Consti-
tution, for the record, never granted the federal government the right to run a health care system, nor to give away the power to
coin money to a private banking cartel, nor to inspect your backyard food production operation that you use to produce jams and
jellies for the local farmers' market.

Specific short-term predictions

Expect a new Big Government war on internet freedom. Mostly due to the Wikileaks releases, governments around the world
are going to desperately attempt to police the internet and clamp down on web-based free speech. This will likely result in an
online war between the "empire" (the USA and the UN) and the "rebel alliance" (the internet hackers such as 'anonymous').

By the end of 2012, I predict significant food supply disruptions in North America, brought about either by radical weather af-
fecting crop yields or perhaps the invasion of disease indirectly caused by the over-use of pesticides or GMOs. The number of
people in America struggling to feed themselves and their families will rise along with food prices (see next). This will inevita-
bly result in a huge increase in crime (burglaries, thefts) at precisely the same time that cities are laying off local law enforce-
ment officers due to budgetary restrictions.

Expect to see food prices climb with alarming speed over the next two years. Wheat is already on the rise, and even meat prices
will surge up sharply before the end of 2012. While food won't disappear, it will become significantly more expensive, causing
more people to shift to subsidized foods (corn, sugar, etc.) which also happen to be some of the worst foods for your health.
GMOs are cheap in the short run... until you get your hospital bill.

Oil prices will also trend sharply upwards over the next two years. We will almost certainly see oil at $150 per barrel and possi-
bly even at $200 for a brief time. This will of course impact food prices, the transportation industry and virtually the entire econ-
omy.

By late 2012, the economic downfall of the United States will have accelerated, and the inevitable collapse of the U.S. dollar
will by that time have become apparent to virtually everyone. The ability of the U.S. Treasury to auction its debt will drop
sharply as ratings institutions either downgrade U.S. debt or publicly threaten to.

Long-term predictions
Over the next decade, I predict a disappearing "health middle class" and a great divide between the healthy and the sick. The
healthy, you see, are consuming superfoods, getting sunshine on their skin and taking nutritional supplements on a daily basis.
The unhealthy are eating processed foods, taking prescription medications and following the advice of their ignorant doctors
even if it kills them. There will be fewer people of "average" health in America in the coming years. The masses will gravitate
toward disease and sickness while the informed few (such as NaturalNews readers, raw food vegans, superfood fans and so on)
will get healthier and more productive.

By 2025, the FDA as we know it today will be ancient history, and a new era of food freedom and health freedom will have
swept across the former United States of America. Marijuana will become a key crop for raising revenue for the states (or the
equivalent governing entity), the pharmaceutical industry will have severely downsized, and the scientific censorship of the FDA
will have been abandoned to a chapter of the dark history of America. Millions of doctors, oncologists and useless government
bureaucrats will find themselves out of work or, in the most extreme cases, subjected to court trials for their crimes against hu-
manity.
 By 2030, it will become obvious that all those people treated with vaccines, chemotherapy, pharmaceuticals and conventional
medical procedures are largely infertile and dying from degenerative disease. Also by this time, those individuals who ate diets
largely made of GMOs, processed foods and artificial chemical additives will discover they, too, are infertile and diseased. The
dying, diseased people of the western world will look back upon the "age of medical science" with hatred and disbelief, and the
vaccines, chemotherapy, mercury fillings, water fluoridation and other poisons that are common in our world today will, by
2030, be written up in the history books as examples of humanity's incredible capacity for self-deception and faulty thinking,
even in the realm of so-called "science."

Health Ranger predictions are already coming true

Many of the predictions I made a year ago have already come true, by the way. These include:

China unleashes armies of corporate espionage hackers onto western nations (now verified as true through Wikileaks cables)

A worldwide shortage of rare earth metals (already under way)

Food supply disruptions (disruptions have been widely reported throughout 2010)

Honeybee population collapse spreads to other species (bats are now threatened, too)

Weather patterns become increasingly radicalized (also widely reported in 2010)

Medical imaging scandal unfolds as older patients begin to show serious health damage from radiation via mammograms, CT
scans and more (widely reported in medical journals in 2010)

War on health freedom ramps up, targeting raw milk, homeopathy, herbs and supplements (major raids have been conducted
this year on food co-ops and raw milk producers)

New attempts are made to destroy internet freedom (the UN is now planning to roll out internet police, and the U.S. customs de-
partment has been seizing websites for the last several months)

These are just some of the many predictions I made one year ago. Many more will yet come true in the years ahead. Overall, by
the way, I remain optimistic about our future, if only because it is evident that by living through suffering, oppression and slav-
ery, enough members of the human race will finally see the importance of health freedom and take the necessary action to regain
it and defend it for generations to come.

In the grand experiment of nations and civilizations now playing out across our tiny planet, those nations which forget the im-
portance of health and freedom are doomed to eventually destroy themselves. Only those nations which recognize freedom and
invest in the health of their citizens have any sustainable future. And one day, such a nation of truly free people will undoubtedly
rise from the ashes of whatever is left after the current global miscalculations run their course.
