March 27, 2024, 12:55:24 pm Mark says: Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked  When Hamas spokesman Abu Ubaida began a speech marking the 100th day of the war in Gaza, one confounding yet eye-opening proclamation escaped the headlines. Listing the motives for the Palestinian militant group's Oct. 7 massacre in Israel, he accused Jews of "bringing red cows" to the Holy Land.

September 24, 2017, 10:45:16 pm Psalm 51:17 says: The specific rule pertaining to the national anthem is found on pages A62-63 of the league rulebook. It states: “The National Anthem must be played prior to every NFL game, and all players must be on the sideline for the National Anthem. “During the National Anthem, players on the field and bench area should stand at attention, face the flag, hold helmets in their left hand, and refrain from talking. The home team should ensure that the American flag is in good condition. It should be pointed out to players and coaches that we continue to be judged by the public in this area of respect for the flag and our country. Failure to be on the field by the start of the National Anthem may result in discipline, such as fines, suspensions, and/or the forfeiture of draft choice(s) for violations of the above, including first offenses.”
September 20, 2017, 04:32:32 am Christian40 says: "The most popular Hepatitis B vaccine is nothing short of a witch’s brew including aluminum, formaldehyde, yeast, amino acids, and soy. Aluminum is a known neurotoxin that destroys cellular metabolism and function. Hundreds of studies link to the ravaging effects of aluminum. The other proteins and formaldehyde serve to activate the immune system and open up the blood-brain barrier. This is NOT a good thing."

The corporate money-vacuuming beast known as Monsanto has scored a major under-the-radar victory in the last few months, and few but organic farmers have noticed. From Food Democracy Now (my emphasis):

    [In January] the Obama administration has unbelievably chosen to approve three biotech crops, Roundup Ready genetically modified (GMO) alfalfa, Roundup Ready genetically modified (GMO) sugar beets and a new industrial biotech corn for ethanol production. Obama's recent approval of them will allow them to be planted as early as this spring, despite widespread acknowledgement that these crops are certain to contaminate both conventional and organic farmers non-GMO crops. ... [T]he USDA's approval of the new industrial biotech corn for ethanol production occurred despite massive outcry from major food companies who know that it will contaminate and possibly ruin the food they sell to you everyday.

    These decisions are a devastating blow to our democracy and the basic rights of farmers to choose how they want to grow food on their land and the rights of consumers who increasingly choose organic and sustainably grown food for its positive health and environmental impacts.

This spells the end of organic farming in the United States. Listen to David Murphy of Food Democracy Now in an interview with Sam Seder of Majority Report:



Here are some links for the story on corn, alfalfa, and beets. There's also plenty more here on why this is all so bad, including this tidbit:

    Monsanto’s Roundup Ready GMO alfalfa – Jan. 27th, 2011 – Over the objections of hundreds of thousands of American citizens, the White House approved this unnecessary crop – despite the fact that 93% of alfalfa hay grown in the U.S. does not use herbicides and that genetic contamination with conventional, non-GMO and organic alfalfa threatens the livelihoods of tens of thousands of family farmers and the food choices of more than 50 million organic consumers.

It's appalling. As Mr. Murphy states, Monsanto:

■ Won over Tom Vilsack because of pressure from the White House.

■ Can go into the fields of organic farmers, collect samples, and sue farmers if the fields contain any of Monsanto's patented products.

(By the way, did you notice how tired he sounds? It's exhausting work, what he does.)

The beast called Monsanto now has a license to print money, issued by a man (Obama) who represents a corn, wheat, and alfalfa state (Illinois). In that sense, Obama is the "President from Monsanto" in the same way that Joe Biden was the "Senator from MBNA." (For more on Obama and corn, read the introductory story in this 2006 profile. It's an eye-opener; and remember, Ken Silverstein wrote it in 2006.)

I'll say this about food and my fellow countrymen. Americans are not less "moral" about their eating than they were before. We always ate like pigs in the post-war years. Food was cheap and plentiful, and we eagerly ate our fill.

In addition, since most of us came from ethnic-beer backgrounds (German, English, Dutch, Swedish) as opposed to ethnic-wine backgrounds (French, Italian), we tended toward meat-and-potatoes "big" in any case. The combination always produced large Americans. Remember, the all-you-can-eat "smorgasbord" came to the U.S. in 1939. That's a lot of potatoes ago.
So no, our eating hasn't changed, but the food sure has. To see the difference — overweight then vs. overweight now — try this experiment. Watch the Lawrence Welk show on PBS (if you can stand it) and notice what "uncomfortably large" looked like for the over-fifty crowd in 1960. Now watch the people in the background of Antiques Roadshow — or go to the airport — and see what ït looks like today. Literally the difference between soccerballs and beachballs.

It's not the eating, it's the food; and the food is killing us. Now that Monsanto has been granted a White House-enabled monopoly on grain-crops — including the ability to force out of business anyone growing from uncopyrighted grains — the future looks even deadlier than the past. Good for corpora...

when the first monopoly breakup happened in 1911, the whole idea became "lateral/horizontal networking", which means that they are no longer visibly organized in a top-down fashion in a chain of command, but rather, follow a centralized agenda (a la ceo summit) following a forum.

To fail to use the same freedoms they do is to fail indeed. To feel like a criminal, to make others feel like a criminal, for using them -- you are doing the enemy's work already.
Freedom is listening, freedom is hearing, freedom is judging inside not just outside.
Freedom can be silent or loud, gold or silver, powerful or frightening.

This world we live in, it is not what is sold on television. The "master minds" have been working like busy ants to unprepare us and dismantle the structure of our protective rights.
The "Rule of Law" was defeated back in 33 by Christ Jesus (Yashuah messiah! God will save!), but the modern global dictatorship seeks to restore it. This dictatorship is covert, not declared, but soon people will see what lies beneath.

Then they will take any help they can find, and i don't think they will complain about where the food comes from.
