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.”

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."

Don't see the main stream media talking about any protests against Monsanto. But then, we know why.

saw this the other day, i ddint have time to post it, and forgot about it yesterday, youd think the MSM would have at least covered this.

Anti-Monsanto protesters dump bags of cash in Senate building
Published time: October 10, 2013 22:21


Three activists taking part in an anti-Monsanto protest were arrested by Capitol Police after dumping bags of money on the floor of the atrium to the Senate’s Heart building.

 The protesters, who were playing the part of biotechnology industry lobbyists “thanking” politicians for their support as part of the fictitious “Biotechnology Industry Awards Committee” or BIAC, dumped briefcases of real cash.
 
"The USCP arrested three demonstrators in the atrium of the Hart Senate Office Building," Lieutenant Kimberly Schneider told the Washington Examiner newspaper.
 
Videos posted on YouTube showed one of the activists on the floor of the atrium, showering herself with the paper bills while another threw them into the air around her.
 


According to a release put out by the groups behind Thursday’s protest, the Organic Consumers Association and Occupy Monsanto, the real lobbyists were expected “to lunge for the fluttering bills...creating a melee” to shut down the entrance to the building.
 
The protest was aimed at what organizers allege are back room deals going ahead during the government shutdown, specifically the amendment to the House Farm Bill presented by Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa). The activists were to dole out “Monsanto’s Minions Awards” to members of Congress the groups say have been particularly accommodating to biotech companies.
 
“The legislative pressure-cooker created by self-inflicted deadlines and crises like the fiscal cliff, the shutdown and the debt limit are the worst way to write legislation. Corporate lobbyists are here to take advantage of the situation. That’s how we got the Monsanto Protection Act in March. We’re here to try to stop that kind of thing from happening again,” wrote Alexis Baden-Mayer, political director of the Organic Consumers Association, who took part in Thursday’s protest as “Jennetta Kontamy-Nashun,” a member of the BIAC.
 
Activists allege that King’s amendment would circumvent oversight through the normal conference committee process, as was the case when Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo) attached a rider to a continuing resolution to fund government derided by opponents as the “Monsanto Protection Act.” That piece of legislation was aimed at pausing judiciary oversight over the planting of new genetically engineered crops.
 
Rep. King’s amendment, the Protect Interstate Commerce Act, is a provision aimed at preventing standards or conditions from being imposed by one state onto another’s agricultural products.
 
Advocates believe that the amendment is written so broadly that it could therefore nullify a number of state and local laws that involve everything from GMO food labeling, which biotech companies have spent millions to oppose, as well as pesticide and antibiotic use and animal welfare rules.
 
Rep. King has insisted that the language of the amendment is designed to invalidate California’s Proposition 2, which requires large cases for egg-laying hens, allowing the animals to stand and spread their wings.
 
The Farm Bill officially expired on October 1, the first day of the ongoing government shutdown, and has yet to make its way out of Congress in its final form.
 
Thursday’s protest according to the group was modeled after another similar action that took place decades ago at the New York Stock Exchange. On August 24th, 1967, about a dozen members of the counter-culture Youth International Party, or Yippies, threw handfuls of dollar bills onto the trading floor.
 
According to witnesses at the time, some of the traders at the floor during the stunt took it in stride and waved back, though others jeered and shook their fists at the group.
 
Several months after the Yippie incident at the NYSE bulletproof glass and metal grills were installed around the visitors’ gallery.
