Let me begin by wishing all of you a very Happy New
Year - I hope that your holidays were joyous.
We are about to enter a new year - 2013.
Why not make this the beginning of a new paradigm?
Let's begin a new age of accountability and responsibility.
One step is to right those wrongs that are blatant and in your face.
I've written before that John O'Hara has a new petition - but many of you haven't signed. This is a wholly new effort, and the older signatures do not count, so please check it out and add your name to get justice for John. Click on this hyperlinked text to sign John's petition.
Not only are you doing this for John O'Hara - you're doing this in the memory of the Kung-Fu Judge, the dearly departed John Phillips. All of these wrongs come from the same source - a source who may be on the unemployment line come November of 2013 (Update - Breezy Point Joe got his ass booted out of the KCDA office).
I found this just a while ago - I am reposting it in its entirety, in the hopes that some of you out there will take this seriously and stop poisoning your families with FrankenFood:

19 Studies Link GMO Foods to Organ Disruption
A new paper demonstrates that consuming genetically modified (GM) food leads to significant organ disruptions in rats and mice. Researchers reviewed data from 19 studies and found that parameters including blood and urine biochemistry and organ weights were significantly disrupted in the GM-fed animals.
The kidneys of males were the most affected, experiencing 43.5 percent of all the changes. The livers of females followed at more than 30 percent. Other organs may have been affected too, including the heart and spleen, and blood cells.
According to the Institute for Responsible Technology:
"The GM soybean and corn varieties used in the feeding trials 'constitute 83 percent of the commercialized GMOs' that are currently consumed by billions of people. While the findings may have serious ramifications for the human population, the authors demonstrate how a multitude of GMO-related health problems could easily pass undetected through the superficial and largely incompetent safety assessments that are used around the world."Further, the biotechnology firm Monsanto is only an FDA approval away from its latest monstrosity -- soybeans that have been genetically modified to produce omega-3 fats. That FDA approval is expected this year.
Monsanto plans to include GM soybean oil in every product it can -- baked goods, baking mixes, breakfast cereals, cheeses, frozen dairy desserts, pasta, gravies and sauces, fruit juices, snack foods, candy, soups, and more.
According to Forbes:
"Monsanto is so despised by environmentalists that Google's first suggested search term for the St. Louis company is 'Monsanto evil.' Readers ... voted Monsanto the world's most evil corporation in a January poll, giving the corporation a whopping 51 percent of the vote."Scientists have also introduced human genes into 300 dairy cows in a process that they say will cause the cows to produce milk with the same properties as human breast milk. They believe that this could provide an alternative to formula milk for babies.
Critics of GM technology questioned the safety of milk from genetically modified animals, and also its potential effect on the cattle's health.
According to the Telegraph:
"The researchers used cloning technology to introduce human genes into the DNA of Holstein dairy cows before the genetically modified embryos were implanted into surrogate cows ... [T]he researchers said they were able to create cows that produced milk containing a human protein called lysozyme."Dr. Mercola's Comments:
In the latest review of genetically modified organisms (GMO) -- an analysis of 19 animal studies -- it was revealed that nearly 10 percent of blood, urine, organ and other parameters tested were significantly influenced by GMOs, with the liver and kidneys faring the worst.
The studies involved animals fed GM soy and corn, which comprise more than 80 percent of all GMOs cultivated on a large scale, and exist in virtually every processed food sold in the United States.
Clearly the danger posed by GM crops is no longer theoretical, yet because GM foods are patented inventions that are protected under copyright and proprietary information laws, the corporations controlling the seeds only allow them to be studied under very limited conditions.
Rarely (if ever) do they permit them to be studied for safety by anyone but the USDA (who hasn't yet seen the need to conduct rigorous long-term studies), and rarely are they studied beyond 30 or 90 days.

KEY FDA DOCUMENTS REVEALING
(1) HAZARDS OF GENETICALLY ENGINEERED FOODS--AND
(2) FLAWS WITH HOW THE AGENCY MADE ITS POLICY Alliance for Bio-Integrity HOME
About the Documents
You will see scanned reproductions (exact copies) of some of the Food & Drug Administration's (FDA) internal memoranda about the hazards of genetically engineered foods. These documents became available through the Alliance for Bio-Integrity's lawsuit (Alliance for Bio-Integrity et al., vs. Shalala, et al.) to gain mandatory safety testing and labeling of these foods. The large numbers on the bottom of each page (i.e. 18952) are the Administrative Record (A.R.) numbers affixed by the FDA.
How to View and Print
In order to make these documents easily accessible, we've saved each page in two different formats: one intended for viewing on your monitor using your internet browser (click on "View Document"), and one formatted in PDF suitable for printing onto a 8 1/2" X 11" sheet of paper (click on "Print Document").
To print the PDF files you will need free software called Adobe Acrobat Reader. If you don't already have Adobe Acrobat Reader, you can download it here. Depending on your computer and internet connection, downloading Adobe Acrobat Reader may take up to fifteen minutes. You may find that the best way to view and read the documents on your monitor is to select the PDF files; they are larger files and therefore may take slightly longer to download, but the Acrobat Reader enables you to enlarge or reduce the image size to fit your monitor.

Guess what, gun grabbers - Operation: American Gladio isn't working. I'd advise you to stop the shenanigans right now.
Anti-gun is PRO-CRIME.
That's just the facts, jack. Everywhere gun control has been enacted, crime runs rampant. Conversely, any place where the citizenry has been made responsible for their firearms, crime doesn't prosper. Gun-free zones are target practice for the maniacs. Now, of course, when I got off the train at Union Square not long after the events of September 11th, 2001, I was a bit put-off to see guys in fatigues with assault weapons at the ready - I mean, were people hopscotching over turnstiles that boldly?
Do I want that kind of presence in our schools?
I don't think that's a great answer. Let's put our noses to the grindstones and really think about this.
What kind of future do you want for your children?
Do you want them to suffer fools who lie to them?
Do you want them to admire material worth, and to shun truth?
Do you want them to lead lives utterly bereft of poetry?
That way lies madness.
