Desperation

Things are starting to get interesting.


Let's start with Monsanto. Not so long ago, the residents of Maui made their will apparent and voted against GMOs in their food supply. They didn't vote for labeling GMOs; they voted against their very presence. Monsanto performed an end-run around the wishes of the people of Maui.


From Jon Rappoport's latest piece:


“Case 1:14-cv-00582-SOM-BMK Document 55 Filed 04/15/15: ORDER DENYING MOTION TO DISMISS ‘MIRROR-IMAGE’ CLAIMS ON RIPENESS GROUNDS AND CONTINUING HEARING ON MERITS OF THAT MOTION; ORDER ADOPTING AMENDED FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATION AND DENYING MOTION TO REMAND [the Atay Action to state court].”

V. CONCLUSION.

The court adopts the Amended F&R and denies the Motion to Remand the Atay Action to state court, ECF No. 15.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
DATED: Honolulu, Hawaii, April 15, 2015.

GMOs were purported to be the answer to world hunger. I guess we shouldn't count the over 300,000 Indian farmers who committed suicide because they were cajoled into switching to GMO crops that UTTERLY FAILED.


Many countries have actually burned GMO crops in order to stop the spread of their genes. I and many others have written about this.


The 'equivalence' claims are an obfuscation of facts. Think about the constant back-and-forth between the lobbyists and the legal department in regards to this end. How long did it take before one of these idiots came up with 'equivalence".


What they don't want you to ponder is that, using the same train of thought, a plastic piece of fruit is 'equivalent' to a real piece of fruit.


I would go so far as to say that the GMO has more 'equivalence' to the plastic replica than to real crops.


I've gone too far, right? Let me remind you that it is a fact that GMO crops do not have the same levels of nutrition contained in conventional/organic crops.


Period.


Monsanto and other biotechs claim that the nay-sayers are 'anti-science'; that's a huge load of bupkis. Shooting incompatible genes into an organism and thinking that invisible changes aren't taking place is ANTI-SCIENCE.


Some items of note from GMWatch:

• Public testing set to increase pressure for ban on glyphosate
• Neil Young's Monsanto album set for release June 16
• Monsanto sued in Los Angeles County for false advertising
• How the media fell for a GMO front group attack on Dr Oz
• Glyphosate is a “probably carcinogenic” pesticide. Why do cities still use it?

If Neil Young can get back to his former glory, I'll be going to a concert for the first time in many years.


We had so much promise in 2008, only for the exact opposite to happen. You can thank the revolving door between our government and lobbyists for that.


McDonald's market share is dropping like the cast of Hollywood Hillbillies going over Niagara Falls in barrels - hot and heavy.


This is funny - I've not heard of this: "their food is known as McColonics"


Jon also does a great piece on the idiocy of forcing vaccinations upon everyone. I won't repost his piece, but I'll bolster the argument with a simple analogy:


You live without locking your doors.


Your neighbor locks their doors.


Your neighbor insists that by you not locking your doors, he will get robbed.


Make sense to you?


Have a good day, dear readers.

How the Venture to Genetically Engineer Our Food Has Subverted Science, Corrupted Government, and Systematically Deceived the Public (Re-Post from Chelsea Green)

Altered Genes, Twisted Truth

How the Venture to Genetically Engineer Our Food Has Subverted Science, Corrupted Government, and Systematically Deceived the Public

by Steven Druker

"Altered Genes, Twisted Truth will stand as a landmark. It should be required reading in every university biology course."—Joseph Cummins, PhD, Professor Emeritus of Genetics, Western University, London, Ontario

This book uncovers the biggest scientific fraud of our age. It tells the fascinating and frequently astounding story of how the massive enterprise to restructure the genetic core of the world’s food supply came into being, how it advanced by consistently violating the protocols of science, and how for more than three decades, hundreds of eminent biologists and esteemed institutions have systematically contorted the truth in order to conceal the unique risks of its products—and get them onto our dinner plates.

Altered Genes, Twisted Truth gives a graphic account of how this elaborate fraud was crafted and how it not only deceived the general public, but Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, Barack Obama and a host of other astute and influential individuals as well. The book also exposes how the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) was induced to become a key accomplice—and how it has broken the law and repeatedly lied in order to usher genetically engineered foods onto the market without the safety testing that’s required by federal statute. As a result, for fifteen years America’s families have been regularly ingesting a group of novel products that the FDA’s own scientific staff had previously determined to be unduly hazardous to human health.
By the time this gripping story comes to a close, it will be clear that the degradation of science it documents has not only been unsavory but unprecedented—and that in no other instance have so many scientists so seriously subverted the standards they were trained to uphold, misled so many people, and imposed such magnitude of risk on both human health and the health of the environment.

About the Author

Steven Druker

Steven M. Druker is a public interest attorney who, as executive director of the Alliance for Bio-Integrity, initiated a lawsuit that forced the FDA to divulge its files on genetically engineered foods. This revealed that politically appointed administrators had covered up the warnings of their own scientists about the unusual risks of these foods and then allowed them to be marketed illegally. In organizing the suit, he assembled an unprecedented coalition of eminent scientists and religious leaders to stand with his organization as co-plaintiffs -- the first time scientists had sued a federal administrative agency on the grounds that one ...

I've come to much of the same conclusions, and this can be verified by perusing my re-postings of my Room Eight pages. I had an idea that most, if not all of the approvals of GMOs were due to chicanery, but Steven Druker proves it all beyond a shadow of a doubt. From this point forward, everyone who cares about the health of the family and friends should contact their representatives and advise them that should a measure come up to eradicate GMOs from our food supply, and they do not support said measure, that they will lose your vote.


We need to be the vanguard in this cause. Too many people are paid to subvert your choice.
