"Today, the world is almost totally dependent on products and services under the control of the richest 1%. They control our electricity and our transportation. They control the markets for the clothes we wear, for the diamonds we buy as engagement rings, and they run the politicians who rewrite our truth and decide our futures. None of us like admitting this, but the truth of elitist control of our lives is unarguable, equivocally true, and we all know it."
Author: Phil Butler
On the subject of world ending machinations by the ruling elite, news Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, and Michael Bloomberg want to save is could spell "The End." The men who pull all the media, political, and business levers in much of the world, they now want to pretend to save us from ourselves by backing GMOs and other questionable technologies. Read on to discover what these gatekeepers have in store now.
A Business Insider story by author Aria Bendix caught my eye this morning by framing Bill Gates and his compatriot billionaires as "planet saving" heroes. According to the story, the same men who have made trillions off super-capitalism, and created a cabal that controls many governments, they're now investing in six agricultural startups through Breakthrough Energy Ventures. One look at the investors should send shivers down any reasonable person's spine. Let me frame this for you, painted with a sarcasm so I retain my sanity.
Gates Loves Us to DEATH
Everyone knows how much Bill Gates loves humanity, he's sold trillions of dollars worth of software, tablets, crummy smartphones, and even Monsanto poisons to us over the past few decades. But who among us can even fathom the warm and fuzzy adoration His Royal Highness Prince Alwaleed bin Talal of Saudi Arabia feels for the world? Why look! Right alongside Gates, Al Talal, and Amazon's Bezos, there's Richard Branson, Alibaba's Jack Ma, and Carlyle Group co-founder David Rubenstein, just to mention a few of our most loving philanthropists. Yes, my friends, we are doomed by their fuzzy malevolence for certain.
The "mission" of Breakthrough Energy Ventures is to "commercialize energy innovation at scale," at least according to the group's narrative. I guess this means the fund is not about philanthropy after all (sorry, I am growing to hate these people). Let's get to the point here, I do not want to waste your time or mine. Gates and these others are engaged in profit-making on a scale the Roman emperors would not have fathomed. Let me quote from The Guardian story and a statement by Seattle-based Agra Watch – a project of the Community Alliance for Global Justice on the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation's Monsanto play:
"Monsanto has a history of blatant disregard for the interests and well being of small farmers around the world… [This] casts serious doubt on the foundation's heavy funding of agricultural development in Africa."
In this story from way back in 2010, Gates' investments in the faceless agri-giant Cargill were also brought into the light. Furthermore, the Microsoft zillionaire was being portrayed as humanity's savior through GMOs and agri-tech back then, as well. But let's concentrate on Gates and these other loving caretakers today.
Believeth in Me
In a blog post by Gates recently, the world's second richest man (on paper) talks about cow farts and soil being huge where excess greenhouse gasses are concerned. Reading Gatesnotes, I get the chills when I realize how crazy this evil genius and his billionaire pals have become. Instead of pointing to the fossil fuel dependency of our food production, Gates goes deep into technobabble to conceal many facts, and to set the stage for what these psychopaths really have in store for the world. Before I get to this, read this from the revealing "We should discuss soil as much as we talk about coal." Gates just plays out his hand by recommending GMO solutions he and these others are investing in.
"Microscopic nitrogen factories that replace fertilizer: What if we could fertilize plants without releasing so much harmful nitrous oxide into the air? BEV is invested in a company called Pivot Bio that has genetically modified microbes to provide plants with the nitrogen they need without the excess greenhouse gases that synthetic alternatives produce."
Take note here, this "movement" by the elites is alternative climate change adjustment outside what we generally consider "alternative energy" solutions. This is because big oil and big energy are involved with Gates, Bezos, and Bloomberg in funding these GMO innovations. Also consider, to date the multinational agrichemical companies make profits from both the herbicide-resistant seeds and microbes Gates brags about, as well as from the herbicides some are designed to resist. But this is not what is so horrific about their plan for humanity. New "strains" of good old fashioned lima beans and cucumbers should not be our major fear here. Total food dependency should.
Do you think it is interesting that all of Bill Gates' solutions for us involve playing God? Not once have I read anything from this man or his contemporaries about returning to nature or modifying our habits. Take his story The Future of Food. Again we read Gates recommending companies he has invested in as the solution to all our problems. A company called Beyond Meat is but one example of how Gates backed mad-science is always preferable to mother nature. And this takes us to the real mission of our billionaire benefactors. Total control over what we, eat, drink, breathe, buy, and sell. A movie some of my Baby Boomer readers may remember, Soylent Green starred superstar Charlton Heston as a man caught up in corporate control of a food supply based on recycled human flesh. Before you call me crazy or a conspiracy theorist, read this Bloomberg story about Gates, Cargill, and Sir Richard Branson backing the growing meat made from cow stem cells grown in the lab.
The Devil at Davos
Today, the world is almost totally dependent on products and services under the control of the richest 1%. They control our electricity and our transportation. They control the markets for the clothes we wear, for the diamonds we buy as engagement rings, and they run the politicians who rewrite our truth and decide our futures. None of us like admitting this, but the truth of elitist control of our lives is unarguable, equivocally true, and we all know it. The only facets of our existence we can control involve primal survival when all is said and done. And our survival is inextricably linked to food, air, and water. These people are at work making our planet into a concrete jungle where every square centimeter holds a profit for them. The Amazon is disappearing. Oil consumption is higher than ever before. The planet is polluted to a point some experts warn is a tipping point. And now the same people who have profited from our births, lives, and deaths, they claim they will "help us" some more by creating artificial or modified food! Before I continue, please read the "cabal" commitment statement:
The Breakthrough Energy Coalition is committed to building new technologies that change the way we live, eat, work, travel and make things so we can stop the devastating impacts of climate change. We believe that forging deep partnerships between governments and our members will lead to more investment earlier and more energy solutions for more people faster.
The lesson I would like to spur the reader with is that the moment these aristocrats of industry tell us they're "for us" is the moment we must put the magnifying glass on them. For supportive evidence of this, I present the case biofuels mess Gates colleague and Breakthrough Energy Ventures backer Vinod Khosla brought to the state of Mississippi. In this one, Kosla supposedly tried to create the "Exxon of biofuels" with a venture called KiOR, which went bankrupt leaving IPO investors holding worthless stocks. Kosla and these other globalist elites have more up their sleeves, but let's move on to examine what they mean when they say "deep partnerships" with governments. Right here, ponder for a moment what these globalist elites discuss in the mountains of Switzerland when they meet at Davos. Then, try and imagine their warm adoration for all of us.
Engineering Humanity
In October of 2018, a few months ago, the EU announced a joint investment with Gates and his pals. The partnership reminds me of the state of Mississippi's investment in Khosla's bio-fuels shell game that ended up costing everybody involved, only the stakes are much higher in the European sideshow. It is with this "investing guarantee" that I am torn between whether or not Gates and his colleagues are just downright crooked and evil, or incompetent and wanting company. Take Khosla and another startup called Jawbone, which hit the dead-pool running in 2017 after snagging over $930 million in funding from Khosla Ventures, Sequoia Capital, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, and others. Moving over to the alternative energy side, another massively funded and state-supported startup called Abound Solar went belly up after $641 million in funding, as well as backing from the U.S. Department of Defense. BP Alternative Energy Ventures was involved in that one too, in case you are looking at interesting connections. Other promising startups like Aquion Energy (Bill Gates), held great promise once, which leads me to another theory of mine on these technocrats and globalist billionaires. I think they are hedging all their bets to downright own us.
Researching the Investment Fund (EIF) I immediately keyed on the fact the the SME's the fund is supposed to help, they represent 99% of all business conducted in the European Union! You read this correctly. The fund established to help small business with capital, it's also backing Bill Gates and the people with huge vested interests in doing BIG business. Now Gates and his Breakthrough Energy Ventures are hand-in-hand and positioned to control whatever emerging technologies rise up to challenge their HUGE businesses. In a brilliant (and evil) move to control these industries from the onset, Gates and the others can either buy into the next solutions or literally cause them to die. This is what I believe KiOR was all about, but nobody has proven anything but mismanagement and too much hype there. But watching how the stock market is played these days, it is not inconceivable that these billionaires are playing every angle to suck money out of the system. Now factor in the obscure dealings of this huge investment bank, and the risk this Wall Street Journal story says EU citizens may be exposed to. Author Max Colchester refers to something called "financial engineering" when he describes exactly the kind of guarantee Gates and his billionaire buddies just got from the EIF. I'll address the potential of this Gates and Co. engineering project in a later report. For now, I must sum up on the major concerns here.
Fiddling as the World Burns
The liberal world order I constantly reference to is not some Illuminati conspiracy theory or an invention of my overactive imagination. This white paper from the World Economic Forum I found from the Global Agenda Council unabashedly admit the post-World War Two order that has run things since 1945. This Global Agenda Council, for those unfamiliar, is chaired by Robert Kagan of the Brookings Institute and Karen Donfried of the German Marshall Fund of the US. The paper produced by these world order leaders, reveals the real agenda behind the investments of these billionaires I've discussed. To encapsulate:
"The US is leading a revolution in energy – with profound implications for America's standing in the world, its relations with other major powers and for global order. In less than a decade, US oil and gas production exploded as new technologies released abundant fuels from shale rock formations across the country. This revolution and other global factors contributed to a nearly 50% decline in the global price of oil since June 2014."
While Gates and the others profess their undying commitment to saving us from bad old climate change, their friends at the rulemaking end of the liberal world order are bragging about America's newfound "energy security," based on the most unsustainable policies possible. Furthermore, the colleagues of our billionaire benefactors are unashamed to be the cause of Cold War II, as this statement shows:
"As the United States emerges as a major player on the global energy supply market, it can exert influence in ways that weaken some of its most important adversaries."
This is the narrative of many of those attending the infamous World Economic Forum, let me remind you. The paper calls on the American people to defend this liberal world order with any "military, political, economic, and cultural means necessary." Robert Kagan is also on the Council of Foreign Relations and writes a column for Jeff Bezos' Washington Post. And the paper delivered at the World Economic Forum contains hidden warnings for the people of Europe to pay attention to.
"People in other nations need accelerators and venture capital, but above all, they need a culture that accepts both the frequent flame-outs and the creative destruction that entrepreneurial innovation generates."
A New Final Solution
Does this sound like a preparatory strategy paper to assist this liberal order and these billionaires? "Frequent flame-outs" may not be something the already crippled EU economy is ready for. I'll leave you to read about the liberal order bragging that one-third of Kenya's gross national product flows through a startup called M-Pesa, which was initially funded by the Department for International Development (DFID) in the UK, which works with the European Investment Bank (EIB) and even USAID through DAI Global in Bethesda, MD. Readers will also be interested to know that Bill Gates Tweeted how wonderful M-Pesa is:
"Kenya's M-Pesa proves that when people are empowered, they will use digital tech to innovate on their own behalf."
In 2015, DAI received $272,429,308 of contract funding from USAID, and another £58.3 million from the U.K. Department for International Development. The Venezuelans say DAI is a CIA front organization, and my research turns up nothing to prove the contrary. This WikiLeaks cable labeled "Secret" reveals USAID and DAI cooperating to create insurgency in Venezuela when Chavez was still alive back in 2006. I'll not delve in too deeply here, since our focus is on Gates and the other billionaires. The point is, the collusion between the technocrats, government agencies, the deep state, and their higher order partners is not obscured.
When Nazi leader Adolf Hitler and his captains came up with what was called "The Final Solution" – there must have been some rationale that justified such horrors as eradicating a people to solve the "Jewish Question." Today, the code name for the planned murder of all Jews within reach of the Third Reich could be applied to the deep planning of these elite globalists. They control the media, the money flow, industry, government, and pull levers on all aspects of life in the west. All that is left is food and water. And with the control of these commodities we can simply be rounded up and herded to slaughter like animals. Think about it. This is not a stretch of the imagination. What other purpose is there? What alternative end do you think these powerful men seek? Oh, I left out their God fearing devotee consciences. We all feel this devotion daily here in Greece. Soon, very soon, I fear the warmth will reach deep into the Americas and the rest of Europe.
Let me hear your thoughts, while you still have a voice.

Anti-GMO activist found dead in hotel pool, hours before planned delivery of 200,000 petition signatures to the EPA

How convenient, eh?
"Erin Elizabeth of Health Nut News has documented 85+ doctors who have been found dead over the last few years. Most of them were holistic health practitioners offering alternative or naturopathic medical treatments. The majority of those individuals were also opposed to genetically engineered foods."

An activist who opposed genetically engineered mosquitoes has been found dead in the swimming pool of a Washington D.C. hotel, just hours before she was due to submit a petition with over 200,000 signatures to the EPA.
Derrick Broze of Activist Post has investigated the story and spoken to a close friend of the victim, whose name is Mila de Mier from Key West, Florida (see below).
The mysterious death has also been covered by WJLA, which reports:
The D.C. Fire Department says the reported incident happened at the Cambria Hotel & Suites Washington, D.C. Convention Center on 899 O Street, NW. They say they were called to the scene at around 9:35 a.m. Medical crews say they attempted to treat the victim but later pronounced her dead.
Her death, of course, reminds informed observers of all the death threats that other anti-GMO activists have been subjected to over the years, thanks to the "black ops" biotech industry running intimidation campaigns, reputation smear campaigns and political bribery campaigns to grease the palms of politicians. If you weren't aware that people who oppose the biotech giants or vaccine industry are being routinely assassinated across America, you're not up to speed on what's really happening.
Erin Elizabeth of Health Nut News has documented 85+ doctors who have been found dead over the last few years. Most of them were holistic health practitioners offering alternative or naturopathic medical treatments. The majority of those individuals were also opposed to genetically engineered foods. "Mila was a very well known activist who fought hard against GMO's and the use of GMO mosquitoes in Florida. In fact, she fought them so hard she was known to be a nemesis of the GMO mosquito industry," writes Elizabeth. "Is that perhaps why the "witness" who found her floating in the pool didn't try and get her out of the pool? Is that why they didn't try, like any normal human being would, to perform CPR?"

Suspicious death raises red flags about anti-GMO activists being murdered
Is the GMO industry now running assassin squads to murder anti-GMO activists? It's not a far-fetched idea, given how aggressively the GMO industry has pursued online character assassination teams backed by millions of dollars in annual funding.
It's also, by the way, why wise activists never use their real names when staying at hotels. (And they don't pay for hotel rooms using credit cards.) More and more anti-GMO activists, I'm told, are arming themselves in self-defense, creating a fascinating mix of left-leaning anti-GMO activists who are pro-Second Amendment.
Here's the full story from Broze at Activist Post:
Florida Activist Who Fought Release of GM Mosquitoes Found Dead in Hotel Pool
By Derrick Broze, Activist Post
On Tuesday morning Mila de Mier—a 45-year-old activist from Key West, Florida who opposed the release of genetically engineered mosquitoes—was found dead in a swimming pool at a hotel in Washington D.C. De Meir was visiting D.C. to deliver a petition to the Environmental Protection Agency demanding the agency deny a permit for the release of genetically engineered mosquitoes in Florida and Texas.
WJLA reported:
Fox5 in D.C. notes that the police report claims a witness found de Mier floating inside the rooftop pool and called 911. The Metropolitan Police Department in D.C. is investigating the exact circumstances of the drowning.
In the days preceding her death, Mila de Mier posted on her Facebook page about the fight against genetically engineered mosquitoes. "The time is now Please sign and share ! We are not guinea pigs," she wrote. "Is time to set standards when it come to people and Biotecnology."
Activist Post spoke with Barbara Napoles, a fellow activist and long-term friend of de Mier who accompanied her on the trip to Washington D.C., and one of the last people to see her alive. Napoles worked with de Mier for years as part of the Never Again Foundation, an organization that focused on a variety of environmental causes. Napoles explained that she and de Mier had worked on the GE mosquito issue for years and had previously made trips to the Food and Drug Administration in an attempt to express their concerns.
According to Napoles, de Mier called her on Thursday April 5 to announce her intention to drive from Florida to Washington D.C. to file her petition with the EPA. The two headed to Washington on Sunday, arrived on Monday, and planned to deliver their petition on Tuesday morning. Around 8:45 a.m. Tuesday morning de Mier left Napoles to go for a quick swim at the hotel's rooftop pool before heading to the EPA. This was the last time Napoles saw de Mier alive. Regarding the possibility of death by accidental drowning, Napoles said Mila de Mier was not known to be a weak swimmer and had swum with whale sharks in the past. Napoles said the two also had plans to go swim with dolphins in June.
"She wanted the people of Houston to have time to comment on the release of GE mosquitoes. She would want people to continue the fight," Napoles stated. Napoles is referring to the potential upcoming release of GE mosquitoes in the Houston area. The mosquitoes to be released in Houston are created by Oxitec, the British biotechnology company responsible for the same mosquitoes de Mier was fighting in Key West.
Oxitec was involved in the controversial vote in the Florida Keys during the 2016 election. In that vote, residents of the Key Haven voted against the release of the mosquitoes in their community. However, shortly after, the trials were approved for a different location in the Keys. Despite the approval, opposition to the controversial project has not ceased. In late November 2016, Health News Florida reported that a coalition of groups, including the Center for Food Safety and the Florida Keys Environmental Coalition, have filed a 60-day notice of intent to sue the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
In 2017 the Houston Chronicle reported that Oxitec is working on a deal with Harris County officials to release GE mosquitoes in the Houston area. Oxitec is attempting to sway Houston officials by stating that their product has a nearly 100% success rate. Gizmodo reported:
The company claims that trials in Brazil, Panama and the Cayman Islands have reduced mosquito populations by 90%, calling the success "an unprecedented level" of human control over nature. (The World Health Organization, for it's [sic]part, has stated that while the technology "has demonstrated the ability to reduce the [mosquito] populations in small-scale field trials" there is still "an absence of data on epidemiological impact.")
Activist Post will continue to follow the developments related to the release of GE mosquitoes, as well as any new developments regarding the death of Mila de Mier. We would like to offer our condolences to the family of Mila, as well as give thanks and appreciation to Mila de Mier herself for all of her tireless work to educate the people of Key West. She was supported and loved by many people who took inspiration from her efforts. Let us honor her memory by continuing her fight.
Russia produced $4bn worth of food since banning Western imports (Please Impose Sanctions On Canada)

The introduction of a limited Western food embargo three years ago has increased domestic production, said the deputy head of the Russian Agriculture Ministry Yevgeny Gromyko.
According to him, "almost $4 billion worth of Russian products have been produced as part of the so-called import substitution."
That means, previously imported cheese, sausages, and other products have been replaced by domestic ones, Gromyko told reporters on Monday.
Moscow banned imports of agricultural produce, food and raw materials from some Western countries in 2014. The move was in response to EU and US sanctions against Russia over its alleged role in the Ukrainian crisis.
The sides have repeatedly broadened and extended the restrictive measures since then despite warnings to Western governments that their economies are suffering. Some policymakers and businesses say the measures have proven to be politically ineffective and economically harmful for both Russia and Europe.
Russian President Vladimir Putin recently said the country's reciprocal action in the form of an embargo on certain Western food products were good for Russia's economy and should last "as long as possible."
He explained the ban was also in the consumers' interest, with high-quality domestic products at lower prices becoming more available.
Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said it is necessary to develop agriculture and industry so that it will be competitive with the West.
According to Medvedev, the measures were introduced to stimulate domestic production, and many Russian companies have been asking the government to keep them.
"We have imposed the embargo not to annoy our Western partners but mainly to develop our economy. Russian businesses asked us not to cancel it because of the opportunities they have," said Medvedev.

Svalbard – How the Elite Plan to Survive an Engineered Extinction Event

What better way to control the handful of humans left on the planet after complete annihilation than to utterly control their food?
Source: Svalbard – How the Elite Plan to Survive an Engineered Extinction Event : Waking Times
Nathaniel Mauka, Staff Writer
The Svalbard seed bank, set like a concrete monolith in the minus 4 degree Celsius permafrost of a mountain on a remote island in the Svalbard archipelago between mainland Norway and the North Pole, shouldn't determine the fate of our agricultural future. Though the remote bank has collected 860,000 seed samples from around the world, with the latest withdrawal being made from war-torn Syria, what are the true intentions behind a bank said to, "preserve as much of the world's crop diversity as possible," while seed supplies around the world are being monopolized by a few corporations, and indigenous, thousand-year old seeds are being wiped out by genetically modified versions?
Svalbard's investors, including the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, Monsanto, Syngenta, and other biotech interests tout this 'seed saving' monolith while simultaneously ravaging seed diversity, along with state laws throughout the US, and elsewhere on the globe, that prevent small farmers and gardeners from saving and sharing seed.
Endangered Seed
Currently, there are at least 100,000 global plant varieties endangered in the world. Extreme weather events, over-exploitation of ecosystems, habitat loss, and the cross-pollination of seed by genetically altered, terminator seed, contribute to the problem.
You could look at seed saving and seed sharing like open-source education. If you really want to democratize the flow of knowledge and information, you make it free, and offer it online, as many Universities now do. No one institution holds the entire knowledge on mathematics, art, literature, spirituality, or any other subject. Just as in nature, we require diversity of thought so that we don't become automotons repeating a single, well-crafted agenda created by a handful of people.
Many farmers groups, non-profits, and governments are attempting to conserve seed diversity in their own communities, with more than 1,000 known seed banks, collaboratives, and exchanges around the world, but this time-honored tradition of seed saving is butting up against some very serious obstacles, which I'll name in a moment.
Moreover, while the Svalbard seed bank seems to pass an initial sniff test, a little deeper digging can reveal other questions that many should be asking about such an expensive adventure in 'protecting agriculture.'
Cary Fowler, senior adviser to the Global Crop Diversity Trust and the Svalbard seed bank, states,
"SSE's seed bank and the Seed Vault are similar in many ways. Both primarily func­tion as an insurance policy for other forms of conservation. In the case of SSE, that would be varieties grown yearly by gardeners. With the Seed Vault, its seed samples held by seed banks, such as the Dutch, Philippine, or Kenyan national facilities, or SSE. The Seed Vault, however, was physically built to last as long as anything on earth. Its location is obviously remote, which adds to its security. Svalbard is under Norwegian sovereignty, which reassures many, and it was no small matter that Norway offered to pay the entire cost of construction."
Fowler also argues that the age-old habit of seed sharing by farmers and gardeners poses too great a risk for Svalbard not to to exist, but while he dismisses 'conspiracy theories' around Svalbard's true purpose, he has yet to address that those theories are not the rhetoric of 'rabid dogs' as he suggests. Many US states have made it illegal for gardeners and seed libraries to share seeds without a permit.
The Criminalization of Seed Sharing
Even more alarming is the European Union's recent move to ban all heirloom seed and criminalize the planting of seeds not registered with the government. The European Commission,
". . .regulates the marketing of plant reproductive material of agricultural, vegetable, forest, fruit and ornamental species and vines, ensuring that EU criteria for health and quality are met. EU legislation applies to genera and species important for the internal market and is based on:
Registration of varieties or material;
Certification or inspection of lots of seed and plant propagating material before marketing."
Many are concerned that the EU Commission will not enhance agriculture with the Plant Reproductive Material Law, but give more control to the handful of agriculture corporations which are already monopolizing the world's seed. The draft text of the law reads such that the act of passing seed from one generation to the next would be a criminal act.
Another example of the laws which prohibit the free and unencumbered sharing of seed includes the state of Minnesota's seed law. It is broad enough that it essentially prohibits gardeners from sharing or giving away seeds unless they buy an annual permit, have the germination of each seed lot tested, and attach a detailed label to each seed packet. This would obviously be a time-sucking, financially draining practice for most gardeners and small farmers, yet the Minnesota Department of Agriculture recently told seed libraries that they can't distribute free seeds to gardeners unless they buy a permit and provide detailed labeling, even though the libraries aren't selling the seeds, and only sharing them freely. The penalty for violating this law is a fine of up to $7,500 per day.
This is an example of just one law in a single state, but laws like these can be found in around 30 percent of states in the US.
Who Owns the World's Seed?
This is even more alarming considering that just ten corporations now control 70-90 percent of all the seeds cultivated on this planet. These are:
Monsanto – 27% of market share
DuPont -17% of market share
Syngenta – 9% of market share
Groupe Limagrain
Land O' Lakes/Winfield Solutions
KWS AG
DLF-Trifolium A/S
As Mother Earth News suggests, rather than imposing laws that uproot the age-old practice of seed sharing, governments, should be nurturing the free exchange of locally adapted seeds. But then, this would put the power back in the hands of people, small groups, and widely varied indigenous agricultural knowledge, not a few power-hungry, seed monopolizing entities known for destroying the very lands they claim to want to protect, and fomenting wars within the ISIS-cabal matrix.
Additional comments by seed saver Cary Fowler hint at the small farm disadvantage that these seed monopolies have created:
"Keep in mind that many of the sam­ples held in Svalbard are of variet­ies no longer grown by farmers. In situ, or on-farm, conservation is not a realistic conservation option for these. Moreover, as we know, that form of conser­vation has its own set of risks. So, it is vitally important that all our different conservation efforts, whether in the garden or in the seed bank, be supplemented by a facility such as the Seed Vault.
The cost of conserving crop diversity is remarkably low relative to the massive benefits it brings. After all, we're talking about the foundation of our food." (Source)
Imagine for a moment what would happen to the global seed supply if Syria were the rule, instead of the exception. As National Geographic attests.
Problem-Solution Tactics
"Thanks to Syria's civil war, the region's primary seed vault in Aleppo has been forced to operate in a limited fashion, amid fighting that has left several hundred thousand dead and forced an estimated 11 million to become refugees. As ISIS controls part of Syria and refugees stream across Europe, destruction of antiquities and infrastructure continues."
As smaller seed sharing communities are wiped out by organized war, weaponized weather, electromagnetic abnormalities caused by geoengineering and other programs, and false flag events of every kind, more people would be forced to turn to the current seed monopolizing governments and corporations holding out in their permafrost fortress in Svlabard. If you want to live – and eat – after WWIII, you'd have no choice but to be under the total control of these few entities.
The Plausible Deniability of Genetic Diversity
Carey Fowler swears that Svalbard was built to promote genetic diversity, not uniformity, but that claim hardly stands up to scrutiny when you look at what its investors have already done to damage natural genetic diversity in the world's crops.
For example, La Via Campesina, a farmers' movement of 150 organizations from 70 countries, has grave concerns about protecting biodiversity. In its statement to those gathered in Bali for the United Nations treaty on plant genetics, the organization urged treaty drafters to reevaluate the legal framework that allows seed patenting and the spread of genetically engineered crops, like those that Monsanto, Syngenta, and Dow cultivate. All three of these companies were investors either directly or indirectly in Svalbard.
Additionally, most of the crops that were 'developed' in the last 40 years were to facilitate a mechanical harvest and easy shipping, meaning varieties of tomatoes and other fruits have been developed that were harder and tougher — often at the expense of other qualities, such as taste. This same process has occurred with numerous crops. The biotech industry isn't protecting seed diversity, they are enhancing the mechanized, post-industrial vision of cheap, tasteless, nutritionless food, but Svalbard could point to something even more sinister than this. It is called the 'doomsday seed vault' for a reason.
Carey Fowler suggests that the Svalbard Seed Bank has 'put an end to the extinction of crop diversity,' when asked if the seed vault is thus far a success, but also admits there will always be seed diversity that is not contained within the bank.
To give a specific incidence of Svalbard's financiers handy-work,
"Corn has been carefully tended in Mexico for eight millennia and environmental conservationists report that thousands of peasant varieties are still grown throughout the country. With an estimated 75 per cent of the planet's biodiversity vanished as of 1995, Mexico's heterogeneous corn fields are a rare vestige of the age prior to the "Green Revolution" era that is responsible for the artificially and unhealthily homogenous industrial agriculture that is prevalent now."
This is just one type of crop in one country. Monsanto almost single-handedly wiped out eight thousand years of genetic diversity developed by Mother Nature with a handful of their genetically modified corn varieties.
Additional supporters of Svalbard, Bill Gates and the Rockefellers are known population control artists who have altered our environment in a number of drastic ways to "maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature," as stated plainly on the Georgia Guidestones. Svalbard is the grisly fall-out plan B, for a multi-point roll out of death technology meant to cull the masses. It isn't meant to save us, or our seed. We are nothing more than guinea pigs for their biological/medical experiments.
This is a form of genocide, meant to protect only the elite few who believe they have a special duty to develop a transhumanist society. What better way to control the handful of humans left on the planet after complete annihilation than to utterly control their food?
Welcome to the New World Order. Svalbard is only one 'doomsday' vault in a multi-faceted plan to create doom overall. Protect your seed. Don't give governments or corporations (who control our governments) the right to take your seed sovereignty. This is your right to life.

As we wait for an overt attack from a foreign enemy, perhaps a takeover is already being waged against us through chemicals and food.

We tend to think of things such as the demise of the American Dream as something that is about to happen in the distant or not so distant future. It couldn't possibly be happening right now, under our very noses. But what if we are really in the last days as prophesied in Scripture, and the enemy is not just waiting at the gate, but has already entered it and is standing right in front of us? What if we are under such a strong delusion that we cannot even see the enemy for who or what it is?
Remember, the devil doesn't come at you with a pitchfork. He appears as something good and beneficial. An angel of light. And then, when you come to realize that you've been had, you are eyeballs deep in the quagmire, struggling to keep your head above water as he is pulling you down into the abyss.
So, as we wait for an overt attack from a foreign enemy, perhaps a takeover is already being waged against us through chemicals and food. A covert plan that has been in play for many years. An attack on our very lives by New World Order power-mongers who will stop at nothing to stand at the top of a rotting heap of corpses and plant the flag of "victory."
Most people appear to be under a massive illusion that the medical cartel and the government are beneficial and have our best interests at heart when nothing could be further from the truth. Any and all actions by these mafia thugs, even if some are good, are meant to further one agenda only. And that is – to tighten their grip on our throats so that they can wring more money out of us as we suffocate to death. This is becoming more apparent minute by minute. Yet, some will defend to the death their overlords, even as they lay kicking and screaming while the life is sucked out of them. Yes, it is a tough nut to swallow that those whom we have been raised to think of as "good and honest and true" are really wolves in sheep's clothing, plotting our demise as they dance on our graves. Working with the forces of evil, disguised as the world's benefactors.
Feed the world through GMOs while genetically engineering life itself and patenting that life.
Kill weeds with Glyphosate and have beautiful yards, gardens and crops while poisoning the planet and all life on it.
Get a shot and give a shot to a third-world baby to protect us and them from disease while injecting poisons into the world's population, creating disease.
Protect your teeth through water fluoridation while flooding the world with hydroflurosilicic acid waste from toxic industry stockpiles.
Watch TV to escape from reality and perpetuate the illusion that all is well. Just keep ingesting the poisons.
And the world as we know it comes crashing down around us while we are glued to our jobs and the cell phones and tablets we carry around with us and can't seem to be without. Kept in the dark and fed poison while we smile, laud our enlightenment, and go on our not so merry way until we drop.
Brilliant planning. It's all accomplished by consent. The consent of the governed who can't even seem to grasp that the dog and pony show that we call the "presidential election" is merely a circus designed to keep us distracted and entertained.
Yes, folks. We have been raised on bread and circuses.
A wild animal is unpredictable. A trained one is easy to control. We are trained animals. Trained by those who would see our destruction. We gobble down poison, inject it into our bodies and the bodies of our children, drink it, bath in it, force it into the bodies of strangers, and pat ourselves on the backs for being good, responsible citizens for doing so. An illusion. Strong delusion.
But let's just make one thing perfectly clear. Those who see beyond the delusion understand the agenda for just what it is. Genocide. Covert genocide implemented with plausible deniability by those perpetrating the horror.
This was predicted long ago. It is not something that will happen in the distant or not so distant future. It is upon us right now. It appears benign. Beneficial even. That is the mask. Pull back the mask and you will see it for what it is. Pure evil with nothing but destruction as the goal. It is staring us in the face and we can't even recognize it. But once we glimpse the real face of the enemy, we can never go back.
We must learn to quit depending on those who would see us die. A leopard cannot change its spots. It is simply not going to happen. We need to throw off the shackles and live our lives devoted to the truth. That is the only way out.
The good news is, evil will not prevail. Light overcomes the darkness. Be that light.

A large portion of humanity has adopted a lifestyle that doesn't really take health into consideration. The products we choose to surround ourselves with on a daily basis also have some very serious health concerns.
Last year, we published an article titled 10 things you need to throw away immediately for better health, the list included artificial sweeteners, air fresheners, electronic devices, commercial cleaning products and more.Below, Dr. Joseph Mercola has complied a list of 10 foods in the form of an infographic, many of which are banned in other countries, that every American should stop eating
A statement from his website sums it up best,
There is little doubt that in terms of quality, much of the food sold in the United States lags behind those sold in other nations. In fact, what you are eating now may ALREADY be banned in other countries because of harmful additives, growth promoters, genetically engineered ingredients, or other dangerous practices.
The overall level of health in the country is deteriorating, faring lower than other industrialized countries even in the face of greater healthcare spending. You can't help but see a connection between these toxic foods and the rising rates of disease. from now on.

"Exponential growth, everywhere: the terminal cancer of this civilization."
Sha'Tara
Thoughts from ~burning woman~
In my introduction on ~burning woman~ blog I wrote: "I think that every problem is an invitation to all of us to work out the solution, and I believe that no problem exists that does not contain a solution within itself. All we are asked to do is unravel it. Life is like a Rubik's Cube. There is a solution, it's just a willingness to work at it until it emerges."
Taking it from "now" here's a bit of reality check: (from this blog)
Source: Researchers Say Society Is Doomed. Can We Save Ourselves in Time?undergroundreporter.org – Christina Sarich – September 7, 2016
Clues unearthed by archaeologists suggest that our society is doomed for collapse. Researchers from University College London and the University of Maryland recently studied 2,378 archaeological sites from Neolithic Europe to discover some tell-tale signs indicating when an ecosystem was shifting into instability. After looking at the data, it seems that every single civilization gave clues to its own impending demise — including our own.
Signs that a society is about to collapse, or undergo a massive reorganization, included fragility in systems that had undergone 'slowing down' or 'flickering' from impacts such as disease, warfare, resource degradation, or crop failure.
The researchers describe 'flickering' as a change in a society's response to these perturbations resulting in the society becoming caught in a socio-ecological trap that reinforces the same bad behaviour that caused the issues to begin with, and prevents adaptation with new action.
Every time a society 'flickers' it loses recovery time, and you could consider it as moving closer to destruction. The team found that these flickering signs signified an eventual demise of the society, all showing up well before the actual collapse.
Undeniably our current world is severely handicapped by serious and intensifying problems. I don't think I need to name them, we all know what we're facing, as a global society, and as individuals. It is my nature to seek solutions to problems and the more obvious those are, the more I find myself focusing, perhaps even fixating, upon them. "Find a solution… Think!" And it's what my mind does.
It has been said that necessity is the mother of invention. What I've been learning lately is that "invention" need not be a strictly forward motion: in looking for solutions it can move backward. And this is where I'm at: how far back must man, as a species, go to solve his current life-threatening problems? To explain that backward move, it is necessary to delve into the main cause of man's current crisis.
The common thought is that solutions are found in new, forward-looking discoveries. For every action (which comes from a previous reaction) there is a new reaction. Thus the clumsy reciprocal "chug… chug… chug…" movement of civilization moves itself forward and each time, like the old coal fired steam trains, the machine picks up speed. A new "disease" (caused by a previous reciprocal movement) gets a new drug treatment which causes more problems to be met with more drugs. That has been the way, and it's the accepted way. Except that it doesn't work, and never did, because there never was any track built past the tunnel. But that's all beside the point as long as we chose, as a collective, to exist in total denial of history and observation and believe that any "new and improved whatever" would solve any current crisis, or make any current burden easier to bear. Thus we blindly entered the age of science as god; the age of technocracy: of technology, of robotics, of machines, of medical interventions and heaping drug prescriptions, of faster communication and travel, of ever-expanding cities to house an exponentially growing population. We entered the age of top-down, system driven, totalitarian collectivization and we were taught in public school, in college, by the media and the corporate world that its called progress. Therefore we progressed into a progressively worsening societal condition, right up to the end of the track which in today's parlance we call "the unsustainable society."
In 1972, yes, that far back, the Club of Rome and others commissioned computer simulations dealing with unrestrained growth versus availability of space and resources.
From Wikipedia, (excerpt): "The Limits to Growth" is a 1972 book about the computer simulation of exponential economic and population growth with finite resource supplies. The original version presented a model based on five variables: world population, industrialisation, pollution, food production and resources depletion. These variables are considered to grow exponentially, while the ability of technology to increase resources availability is only linear.
And a footnote to the article: With few exceptions, economics as a discipline has been dominated by a perception of living in an unlimited world, where resource and pollution problems in one area were solved by moving resources or people to other parts. The very hint of any global limitation as suggested in the report The Limits to Growth was met with disbelief and rejection by businesses and most economists. However, this conclusion was mostly based on false premises. – Meyer & Nørgård (2010).
It's important to understand what "exponential growth" versus "linear growth" mean. You've all seen graphs showing exponential growth: that smooth line at the bottom that begins to rise ever so slowly, then higher and higher as each segment doubles itself until the line shoots right off the top of the chart. Linear on the other hand shows a steady growth rate, predictable, logical, sustainable. Man's civilization today is of the exponential kind, and we're very close to the top of the chart. So close that the system sustaining the growth is failing – AT EVERY POINT and not just on some. We've not only reached the limits to growth, we have surpassed them and now we can't stop our train from shooting off the end of the tunnel of progress we created from our lusts and greed and passion for cheap and easy and entertaining.
Now for a very, very brief history lesson beginning with a question: which of mankind's many civilizations not only succeeded, but continued on and remains "operative" and growing to this day? And the answer is… none. Not a single one. Each civilization that rose from nothing, or from the wrack and ruin of another has in its turn collapsed utterly.
A reminder from none other than the famous poet, Percy Shelley:
alexzakil.deviantart.com
"Ozymandias"
I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appear:
'My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!'
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.
What better comparison could one make of this current prideful and shallow civilization than to the boastful one of the great king "Ozymandias?" Oh yes, it is said that science with the faithful and uncanny help of technology can, and will, solve all of man's current problems. Stupid to worry, to be concerned, about such things as climate change which "Right" thinking people know to be a hoax; about over population (why, the earth can sustain twice our current numbers!); availability of food and sustainability of edible crops (what about GMO's and fish farms, etc.?) and simple living space (ah, hmm, well, we can live closer together, build higher highrises and we can go live on the moon, or on Mars with a bit of technological fixing!) and wars (a one-world government will fix that, along with a one-world economy!)
Wonderfully childish reasoning that is desperately held onto by billions of desperate individuals: desperate for things to continue as they are; desperate to ignore, hide, mock, the reality that is threatening to destroy not only most of mankind, but much of his living environment and those "others" nature symbiotically "intended" for space to be shared with. Simply put, quality has given way to quantity – it's always what happens when values are determined by numbers – and numbers only work when fed more quantities of numbers. Exponential growth, everywhere: the terminal cancer of this civilization.
Somewhere way back in prehistoric times man "happened" on this world. I really don't know how that came about and I'm not a strong proponent of Darwinist evolutionary theories, while holding the creation concept equally at arms length, but man "was" here. From what I gather this "man" creature was living a natural life on a natural world. And as we observe of other animals, all was, relatively speaking, well with that.
Then something amazing and terrible happened: man came face to face with a choice. There was a fork on the road of life, the left continuing the natural pattern of life, and the right promising a much brighter, exciting, morally and technically uplifting future. Man was offered the fruit of civilization. Some saw it as a marvelous opportunity for advancement and took that path. Most did not, but it would be "civilized" man that would rise to conquer and subdue the earth and all that dwell therein. Man became "Ozymandias" the king of kings, ruler of all creation. Then one civilization after another rose suddenly, then fell slowly until hardly anything remained, and then another took its place, or surfaced somewhere else on the planet and "great" works were accomplished; marvels were created and built, then that too collapsed utterly, leaving only remnants in stone or bits and pieces of clay to mark the passage of civilized man. And on and on it went, until history began to be recorded on clay tablets and parchments, then in books and now in digital information. This is but another of those suddenly risen only to fail, civilization. And no, this civilization isn't too big to fail – quite the contrary: it is too big to sustain itself and must fail.
This is about a solution to our current dilemma. Believing as I do that nothing can fix this toppling purposeless global civilization build on nothing but exploitation, oppression and bloodshed, my solution is eloquent by its simplicity: man must (not should) return to that prehistoric fork in the road and turn back to the left hand path, putting a clear sign on the right hand one that says: "This is the path to hell. It is forbidden for man to enter therein for this path can only be sustained by oppression and bloodshed, that is, by death."
Yes: man must give up his pride filled attempts at creating new civilizations and return to his proper, natural, non-exploitative roots. The collapse of this civilization, since it is global in scope, is likely man's last chance at redeeming himself; at rediscovering humility in compassion, in sharing, in becoming truly a human being to live in peace and harmony with all others on this little world. No amount of "civilizing" can do that for man, only a return to nature.
Organic Rice Yields Debunk Myth GMOs Are Needed to Feed the World

UR) Bihar, India — In India's poorest state, farmers are setting world-breaking records growing rice and other staple foods, without the help of genetically modified organisms, and none of Monsanto's billion-dollar herbicides.
With the biotech industry claiming that the world can only be fed with heavily-doused herbicidal crops coming from genetically modified seed, it's astonishing to see a region responsible for providing food for so many people, churning out some of the biggest yields ever — 22.4 tonnes of rice on one hectare of land, to be exact.
The crop yields being realized by Indian farmers are simply phenomenal and have been achieved by employing age-old, yet simple, growing techniques like using farmyard manure and forgoing herbicides.
Farmers in India are beating long-held records with these organic growing techniques, too. One Chinese agricultural scientist, Yuan Longping, previously grew 19.4 tonnes of rice, but Indian farmers still out performed him with their 22.4-tonne yield. Even World Bank-funded scientists at the Philippines based International Rice Research Institute's record has been broken, along with all multi-national companies' genetically modified seed crops in both the U.S. and Europe.
Sumant Kumar and many of his friends in neighboring villages in Bihar, known as India's poorest state, had to prove their astonishing results to University experts, who accused them of cheating the system.
Kumar's success is due to SRI, an approach to crop development which evolved in France in the 1960s to deal with seed scarcity. The SRI system (System of Rice Intensification) aims to produce more from less — and so it has. Kumar put the following elements into practice to get rice grains so large, they shocked local agriculturalists and experts:
Seedlings were transplanted at a young age, in single seeds, instead of clumps.
Wider spacing of plants was implemented, using a square pattern.
The soil used was moist, but not flooded, as in traditional rice farming.
Only organic fertilizers are used.
Rotary weeding is practiced.
These techniques allow farmers to plant more on less acreage and gain higher yields, all without resorting to over-priced, royalty-driven GM seeds or the use of herbicides like glyphosate-based RoundUp.
The SRI technique also drastically reduces farmers' dependency on outside, industrial inputs, while also allowing them to adapt to their local climates and specific agricultural challenges.
Kumar's success isn't a one-time wonder, either, or limited to a single farmer. His friends in Darveshpura village have all recorded over 17 tonnes of rice, and many others in the villages around have doubled their usual yields in recent years.
With record-breaking yields Kumar and his peers are breaking cycles of poverty, dependence upon biotech companies, and providing organic, healthy food for thousands.
Inspired by Kumar's success, the Nobel prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz has visited the Nalanda district and recognized the potential of this method of organic farming, telling the villagers they were "better than scientists."
I'd add, "very much better than biotech scientists," who have sold the world a lie that, "you can't feed the masses without Monsanto's, patented seed, and best-selling chemicals."
Kumar just proved that the world can feed itself very well, thank you — organically.

Designer Species – Recreating the world in our own image…
The game is rigged. The fix is in. Has been for a while, we've just been bandied about and hoodwinked into thinking that we can change the fact that corporations in league with the corporate government really do not care about our health or our very existence other than our worth as worker bees and "consumers" of whatever garbage they want to put on our plates.
The "label it" campaign was a farce, ripe for deception. It did, however, prolong our hopes until a more deceptive form of genetic engineering would take the stage and flood the kitchen with manufactured food-like organisms that have been designed to fly completely under the radar and any phony labeling laws. Eat up, America. Just don't ask what it is you are putting in your mouths.
The 'New And Improved' Genetic Engineering
What we have seen thus far in the field of genetic engineering has been just the awkward beginnings of a plan to re-engineer the world and all of its various organisms into a 'new and improved' version (didn't they say that about the last con they were selling?), created in a lab and designed to replace all that is natural.
According to proponents of this scheme, the world and its life forms as they exist are inconvenient, imperfect, not acceptable, and drastically need revision in order to be sustainable, green, healthy, and oh yes, let's not forget, able to 'end hunger' and 'feed the world.' Lies. All lies.
There is an exciting new player in the ever-expanding field of genome editing. In a study reported in the January 2013 issue of Science, two groups—Cong et al.1 and Mali et al.2—explored the limits and adaptability of a prokaryotic RNA-based system for mammalian genome-wide editing. This new method of genome engineering is derived from an adaptive immune system known as CRISPR (Clustered Regulatory Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) that bacteria and archaea use as a means to protect themselves against foreign invasive elements. These two studies show that the CRISPR system is an efficient method to alter mammalian genomes. At present, four types of discrete systems have been shown to generate, to different degrees of specificity and efficiency, genome-wide editing: three distinct protein-based nuclease systems,3,4,5 a chemical-based nuclease system,6 an adeno-associated virus (AAV)–based system,7 and now a protein RNA–based system.1,2

Resistance Is (Almost) Futile – Monsanto Is Upgrading The Borg
The first step in flooding the world with this new RNA technology lies in pesticide sprays.
It's called the "BioDirect" initiative and it will eliminate costly resistance to glyphosate, eradicate vexingly resilient insects with "biopesticides" and even modify the genetic code of a plant by simply spritzing it with an RNA-infused surfactant spray. The technology is called "RNA interference" (RNAi) and it heralds a brave new world of profitability for agrochemical corporations. It also opens a Pandora's box full of as-yet unanswered ethical questions about genetic drift, patenting plants on the fly and, most ominously, whether RNAi can, should or will be weaponized like another Monsanto product — Agent Orange.
RNAi technology hijacks DNA's messenger system — the ribonucleic acid (RNA) that carries out DNA's instructions. In effect, RNAi sends human-made messages that can, in turn, alter or kill its target by scrambling cellular functions, turning off organs, dropping resistance to a herbicide (glyphosate) or altering the DNA's command system to produce an artificial gene expression.
The real issue is whether the next best move after drenching the planet in pesticides is to then start pumping out RNAi biopesticides.
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/35517-monsanto-s-willing-executioners
RNAi pesticides appear to be next in line behind Roundup, which is coming under increased scrutiny ever since its main ingredient, Glyphosate, was declared a possible carcinogen by the World Health Organization.
Now, instead of conceding and working with nature, they are counterattacking with RNAi technology. Why? Because sales are flagging. The market is literally oversaturated with glyphosate. And Monsanto wants to extend the life and profitability of Roundup by knocking out resistance at the cellular level.
As a result, we face the unknown consequences of introducing a tidal wave of RNA into ecosystems that are not adapted to a sudden influx of genetic messages. Just think about that for a minute. Antonio Regalado pointed out in MIT Technology Review, "RNA may be natural … but introducing large amounts of targeted RNA molecules into the environment is not."
The USDA and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have already signed off on RNAi apples engineered by a Canadian company and although Monsanto is still awaiting approval, a 2014 statement by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) indicates that their RNAi may already be baked into your cake…
…With Monsanto's scientists pushing favourable papers at the EPA and with farmers who are supportive of agrochemical options clamouring for new GMO herbicide technology, it sure seems like resistance to their solution to glyphosate resistance is futile.
http://www.theecologist.org/News/news_analysis/2987530/while_we_all_fixate_on_glyphosate_monsanto_prepares_its_next_gm_trick_rna_pesticides.html
And the goal for Monsanto regarding these new pesticides? Not to provide an end-fix to the problem it created, but to prolong the life of the pesticide for added company profit. The company knows the effectiveness of any new creation will not last forever.
Robb Fraley, Monsanto's chief technology officer, explained that RNAi was highly specific to the targeted pest. That requires added work on the front end to identify the genes for "interference." Being specific won't eliminate concerns with resistance, but should prolong the life of these pest control tools.

Regulations? We Don't Need No Stinkin' Regulations!
And the master plan is as it has always been – get the technology out there and into the public arena before any pesky regulatory committee needs to get paid off to pass flimsy regulations in favor of corporate interests. After all, any time you can save a buck, do so.
Nina Holland, researcher for Corporate Europe Observatory, says: "The biotech industry has waged an under-the-radar campaign to get new GM products absolved from GM regulation. The TTIP negotiations are seen by industry across the board and the US government as the perfect opportunity to block EU processes that are supposed to protect public health and the environment. The regulation of new GM techniques is a case in point."

CRISPR-Cas9 – On To Editing Living Organisms With RNA Technology
Sprayable pesticides are just the first step. After all, who wouldn't want a new and improved pesticide that you can simply spray on a plant and only certain plant pests bite the dust? And people will buy it hook, line and sinker. Just like they did the Roundup lie.
After that, it's a case of 'anything goes.' RNA technology will be accepted. At least that is what the biotech industry is counting on. So, it's on to crops. Why not? After all, it's benign. Or so we think. We really don't know, but a mere technicality such as that shouldn't stand in the way of progress.
How will we deal with prospects for editing the genes of organisms in living environments?
In the realm of agriculture, that's no longer hypothetical.
Since its 2013 demonstration as a genome editing tool in Arabidopsis and tobacco — two widely used laboratory plants — CRISPR has been road-tested in crops, including wheat, rice, soybeans, potatoes, sorghum, oranges and tomatoes. By the end of 2014, a flood of research into agricultural uses for CRISPR included a spectrum of applications, from boosting crop resistance to pests to reducing the toll of livestock disease.
http://ensia.com/voices/crispr-is-coming-to-agriculture-with-big-implications-for-food-farmers-consumers-and-nature/
What's In Your Body?
But wait! It appears that some gene edited crops are already here, and using a different technique than CRISPR, totally unregulated, and flying completely under the radar.
Meanwhile, the first commercially available gene edited crop — produced using not CRISPR but another form of gene editing known as RTDS — has already appeared: an oilseed rape created by Cibus, a San Diego–based company. The rape has been altered for herbicide resistance, enabling farmers to spray their crop with weed killer. According to Nature, Cibus is marketing the product as non–genetically modified, since only a few snippets of the plant's existing genes have been changed and "no gene has been inserted from a different kind of organism, nor even from another plant." Even though RTDS is a different system than CRISPR, the similarities are sufficient enough that identical policy and regulatory questions apply to both.
Labeling makes no difference at all if that label does not reflect that any genetic engineering has taken place when in reality, it has. Just another sleight of hand by our corporate manipulators. Oh, they will get around to making some sort of regulatory statement sooner or later, but rest assured, whatever they decide, it won't be in our best interests, but in the interests of corporate profit. And only until after the damage is done and we are well on our way to being saturated in the stuff.
Pesticides, Crops, Then Critters, Oh My!
Reports suggest that an entire barnyard of edited animals destined for industrial agriculture is rapidly filling the R&D pipeline. Recombinetics, a start-up firm, made headlines with hornless dairy cattle carrying a smidgen of genes from naturally smooth-headed beef cows. The company is now working on Brazilian beef cattle with larger muscles (for more meat, which may be more tender), while other firms are developing chickens that only produce female offspring (for egg-laying) and beef cattle that only produce males (for more efficient feed-to-meat conversion).
With respect to gene drives, while agriculture remains at the periphery thus far, researchers at Harvard's Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering have outlined heady prospects. Gene drives could "pave the way toward sustainable agriculture," they suggest, by reversing pesticide resistance in insects and herbicide resistance in weeds. Drive systems could also destroy or modify pesky plant pests and squelch populations of invasive species, such as rats and kudzu.
A CRISPR-tweaked farm system could have a smaller environmental footprint and even humanitarian benefits, if it means farmers don't have to dehorn cattle or cull their male bulls.
As mentioned above, among the agricultural applications of CRISPR in the research pipeline are those that would alter the biology of insects and weeds — in some cases, editing genes to overcome resistance to pesticides and herbicides. CRISPR-assisted gene drive technology could propel such mutations through populations in the wild, creating the potential to modify entire plant or animal communities over just a few years.
Pave the way towards sustainable agriculture? Humane? Just who are they trying to kid? If Monsanto had not dowsed the world in deadly poisons, agriculture would be sustainable. Now that the ground has been poisoned, people are dying from cancer and all sorts of pesticide-induced illnesses, Monsanto and the biotech industry have the cojones to tell us that they will solve the problem by using a new and unproven gene editing technique to fix the problem created by them? Seriously? And not to mention that cows grow horns just like we grow feet. And hands. And noses. Horns are simply inconvenient for us. What's next, beakless chickens? People with six hands so they can do more work for their employers? Humans are not exempt from the genetic mayhem by any means.
Chimeras Are Gestating on U.S. Research Farms
A radical new approach to generating human organs is to grow them inside pigs or sheep.
The experiments rely on a cutting-edge fusion of technologies, including recent breakthroughs in stem-cell biology and gene-editing techniques. By modifying genes, scientists can now easily change the DNA in pig or sheep embryos so that they are genetically incapable of forming a specific tissue. Then, by adding stem cells from a person, they hope the human cells will take over the job of forming the missing organ, which could then be harvested from the animal for use in a transplant operation.
"We can make an animal without a heart. We have engineered pigs that lack skeletal muscles and blood vessels," says Daniel Garry, a cardiologist who leads a chimera project at the University of Minnesota. While such pigs aren't viable, they can develop properly if a few cells are added from a normal pig embryo. Garry says he's already melded two pigs in this way and recently won a $1.4 million grant from the U.S. Army, which funds some biomedical research, to try to grow human hearts in swine.

Do you really think that this will stop at human organs grown in pigs? Why not just create a 'sustainable' human? Maybe we can create one that doesn't need to eat real food. Yeah, that's the ticket.
Mary Shelly's "Frankenstein" was prophetic. We are being engineered. This experiment is being conducted in plain sight with the approval of your friendly corporate government. The tools for its implementation are most likely already on your plate, in your field, in your water supply, and are flooding your body as I type.
One thing is certain – no one knows where this will lead. If anyone says they do know the long term implications of tweaking nature to suit some phony scientist's vision of a perfect genetically engineered world, that person is a liar.
And this is just the beginning…

The more you hear about Monsanto the more it looks like it is being run by Satan himself. What an evil entity. Just listen to Abby Martin.
"By slipping it into our food without our knowledge, without any indication that there are genetically modified organisms in our food, we are now unwittingly part of a massive experiment. Any scientist or politician that tells you these GMOs are safe is either stupid or lying."
– David Suziki, geneticist, environmentalist (source 1)
Few corporations in the world are as loathed—and as sinister—as Monsanto. But the threat it poses to people and planet could be reaching new heights, as the World Health Organization has recently upgraded Monsanto's main product as carcinogenic to humans. With protests against the agrochemical giant held in over 40 countries in May, learn why the global movement against Monsanto is of critical importance to our future.
In this episode of The Empire Files, Abby Martin issues a scathing expose on the corporate polluter, chronicling it's rise to power, the collusion of its crimes by the US government, and highlighting the serious danger it puts us in today.
'Ghosts' to blame for Indian farmer suicides, not crop failure – state gov

Ghosts and goblins galore in India! This story could almost be funny until you read this:
"The Marathwada region, also affected by severe drought, has reported more than 1,500 farmer suicides in the past 18 months.
A staggering 300,000 farmers have died by suicide in India over the past 20 years, with the highest in Maharashtra state with 60,000."
Not so funny anymore, is it?

At least three of the 418 farmers in Sehore, India who died by suicide, did so after they saw ghosts and not because of financial hardship, according to the state government.
The spooky claims were made after Shailendra Patel, a member of the Legislative Assembly, questioned the high number of suicides amongst farmers in the area of Madhya Pradesh state.
Patel was told by the Home Minister, Bhupendra Singh, that ghosts and spirits were to blame, not crop loss, according to the Indian Express.
The explanation given by Singh was ridiculed by his predecessor, who asked him if a "happiness ministry" would be formed. The assembly erupted into laughter when he was asked if that meant that the state government now believed in ghosts.
Patel dismissed Singh's claims, telling the assembly that he had gathered information that at least 10 of the farmers died by suicide due to "financial distress after a crop failure."
The state government attempted to justify their information, saying it was based on the accounts of relatives of the deceased farmers. Some 117 of the cases of suicides had no reason detailed, according to the Indian Express.
Madhya Pradesh is experiencing severe drought for the second consecutive year. Some parts of the central Indian state received only 29 percent of their normal rainfall, according to the Times of India.
Oregon Senator slams 'Monsanto DARK Act 2.0,' calling it a special interest nightmare that abolishes consumers' right to know about GMOs

(NaturalNews) Under the cover of darkness, just hours after Hillary Clinton was handed a get-out-of-jail-free card by the FBI for committing felony crimes, the Senate quietly voted 63–30 to preempt state law in direct violation of the Tenth Amendment, prohibiting individual states like Vermont from enacting mandatory GMO labeling laws passed by voters. And at least one senator (from Oregon) is absolutely outraged.
Senator Jeff Merkley wasn't afraid to call a spade a spade in the aftermath of the treasonous vote, which was further buried in the news cycle by Obama's latest attempt at race-baiting in order to abolish the Second Amendment. Merkley told the media that the so-called Roberts-Stabenow Bill, also known as the Monsanto DARK Act 2.0, is a farce, and will do nothing to protect consumers who want to know what they're eating.
As we've been reporting, S.764 would exempt most GMOs currently in use from having to be indicated on product packaging, which is the whole point of GMO labeling in the first place. The only way consumers would gain access to truth in labeling for those GMOs that aren't exempted is to scan the "smart" codes on certain products with their smartphones, but not everyone has a smartphone or even data coverage, especially in poorer and rural areas.
All the way round, the DARK Act 2.0 is a disaster for truth in labeling, though it's being touted by industry supporters as the labeling bill "we need" – of course, because it isn't actually a labeling bill at all, but rather an un-labeling bill that protects chemical and agriculture corporations from having to properly disclose their hidden additives to consumers.
"How can you have a so-called 'mandatory GMO labeling bill' that doesn't require on-package labels, doesn't cover the most common GMO products, and doesn't mandate a single consequence for companies that don't comply?" Sen. Merkley asked. "The answer is you can't."
Even the FDA recognizes the Monsanto DARK Act 2.0 as a total sham
After conducting an independent review, even the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) took issue with the contents of the DARK Act 2.0. The legislation's narrow and ambiguous definition of "bioengineering," the agency found, is completely unacceptable because it "will likely mean that many foods from GE [genetically-engineered] sources will not be subject to this bill."
An example of this is oil made from genetically-modified soybeans, which would not have to be labeled because it supposedly contains no genetic materials. Similarly, starches, purified proteins and other common ingredients derived from GM sources would be exempt from labeling. According to the FDA, it "may be difficult" for any GMO food to qualify for labeling under this appalling bill.
"The FDA critique makes it very clear that this is really a non-labeling bill disguised as a labeling bill," stated Center for Food Safety executive director, Andrew Kimbrell. "Preempting the democratically decided upon laws of five states based on this poorly written, discriminatory and ineffective legislation would be a travesty."

Monsanto, Bayer, and the Push for Corporate Cannabis

California's "Adult Use of Marijuana Act" (AUMA) is a voter initiative characterized as legalizing marijuana use. But critics warn that it will actually make access more difficult and expensive, squeeze home growers and small farmers out of the market, heighten criminal sanctions for violations, and open the door to patented, genetically modified (GMO) versions that must be purchased year after year.
As detailed in Part I of this article, the health benefits of cannabis are now well established. It is a cheap, natural alternative effective for a broad range of conditions, and the non-psychoactive form known as hemp has thousands of industrial uses. At one time, cannabis was one of the world's most important crops. There have been no recorded deaths from cannabis overdose in the US, compared to about 30,000 deaths annually from alcohol abuse (not counting auto accidents), and 100,000 deaths annually from prescription drugs taken as directed. Yet cannabis remains a Schedule I controlled substance ("a deadly dangerous drug with no medical use and high potential for abuse"), illegal to be sold or grown in the US.
Powerful corporate interests no doubt had a hand in keeping cannabis off the market. The question now is why they have suddenly gotten on the bandwagon for its legalization. According to an April 2014 article in The Washington Times, the big money behind the recent push for legalization has come, not from a grassroots movement, but from a few very wealthy individuals with links to Big Ag and Big Pharma.
Leading the charge is George Soros, a major shareholder in Monsanto, the world's largest seed company and producer of genetically modified seeds. Monsanto is the biotech giant that brought you Agent Orange, DDT, PCBs, dioxin-based pesticides, aspartame, rBGH (genetically engineered bovine growth hormone), RoundUp (glyphosate) herbicides, and RoundUp Ready crops (seeds genetically engineered to withstand glyphosate).
Monsanto now appears to be developing genetically modified (GMO) forms of cannabis, with the intent of cornering the market with patented GMO seeds just as it did with GMO corn and GMO soybeans. For that, the plant would need to be legalized but still tightly enough controlled that it could be captured by big corporate interests. Competition could be suppressed by limiting access to homegrown marijuana; bringing production, sale and use within monitored and regulated industry guidelines; and legislating a definition of industrial hemp as a plant having such low psychoactivity that only GMO versions qualify. Those are the sorts of conditions that critics have found buried in the fine print of the latest initiatives for cannabis legalization.
Patients who use the cannabis plant in large quantities to heal serious diseases (e.g. by juicing it) find that the natural plant grown organically in sunlight is far more effective than hothouse plants or pharmaceutical cannabis derivatives. Letitia Pepper is a California attorney and activist who uses medical marijuana to control multiple sclerosis. As she puts it, if you don't have an irrevocable right to grow a natural, therapeutic herb in your backyard that a corporation able to afford high license fees can grow and sell to you at premium prices, isn't that still a war on people who use marijuana?
Follow the Money to Uruguay
Monsanto has denied that it is working on GMO strains. But William Engdahl, author of Seeds of Destruction: The Hidden Agenda of Genetic Manipulation, presents compelling circumstantial evidence to the contrary. In a March 2014 article titled "The Connection Between the Legalization of Marijuana in Uruguay, Monsanto and George Soros", Engdahl observes that in 2014, Uruguay became the first country to legalize the cultivation, sale and consumption of marijuana. Soros is a major player in Uruguay and was instrumental in getting the law passed. He sits on the board of the New York-based Drug Policy Alliance (DPA), the world's most influential organization for cannabis legalization. The DPA is active not only in the US but in Uruguay and other Latin American countries. Engdahl writes:
Studies show that Monsanto without much fanfare conducts research projects on the active ingredient in marijuana, namely THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), in order to genetically manipulate the plant. David Watson of the Dutch company Hortapharm has since 1990 created the world's largest collection of Cannabis seed varieties. In 1998, the British firm GW Pharmaceuticals signed an agreement with Hortapharm that gives GW Pharma the rights to use the Hortapharm cannabis for their research.
In 2003 the German Bayer AG then signed an agreement with GW Pharmaceuticals for joint research on a cannabis-based extract. In 2007, Bayer AG agreed to an exchange of technology with . . . Monsanto . . . . Thus Monsanto has discreet access to the work of the cannabis plant and its genetic modification. In 2009 GW Pharmaceuticals announced that it had succeeded in genetically altering a cannabis plant and patented a new breed of cannabis.
Monsanto could have even greater access to the Bayer/GW research soon. In March 2016, Monsanto approached the giant German chemical and pharmaceutical company Bayer AG with a joint venture proposal concerning its crop science unit. In May, Bayer then made an unsolicited takeover bid for Monsanto. On May 24th, the $62 billion bid was rejected as too low; but negotiations are continuing.
The prospective merger would create the world's largest supplier of seeds and chemicals. Environmentalists worry that the entire farming industry could soon be looking at sterile crops soaked in dangerous pesticides. Monsanto has sued hundreds of farmers for simply saving seeds from year to year, something they have done for millennia. Organic farmers are finding it increasingly difficult to prevent contamination of their crops by Monsanto's GMOs.
In Seeds of Destruction, Engdahl quotes Henry Kissinger, Richard Nixon's Secretary of State. Kissinger notoriously said, "Control oil and you control nations; control food and you control the people." Engdahl asserts that the "Green Revolution" was part of the Rockefeller agenda to destroy seed diversity and push oil- and gas-based agricultural products in which Rockefeller had a major interest. Destruction of seed diversity and dependence on proprietary hybrids was the first step in food control. About 75% of the foodstuffs at the grocery store are now genetically manipulated, in what has been called the world's largest biological experiment on humans.
Genetic engineering is now moving from foodstuffs to plant-based drugs and plant-based industrial fibers. Engdahl writes of Monsanto's work in Uruguay:
Since the cultivation of cannabis plants in Uruguay is allowed, one can easily imagine that Monsanto sees a huge new market that the Group is able to control just with patented cannabis seeds such as today is happening on the market for soybeans. Uruguay's President Mujica has made it clear he wants a unique genetic code for cannabis in his country in order to "keep the black market under control."
Genetically modified cannabis seeds from Monsanto would grant such control. For decades Monsanto has been growing gene-soybean and GM maize in Uruguay too. George Soros is co-owner of agribusinesses Adecoagro, which planted genetically modified soybeans and sunflowers for biofuel.
Other commentators express similar concerns. Natural health writer Mike Adams warns:
[W]ith the cannabis industry predicted to generate over $13 billion by 2020, becoming one of the largest agricultural markets in the nation, there should be little doubt that companies like Monsanto are simply waiting for Uncle Sam to remove the herb from its current Schedule I classification before getting into the business.
In a 2010 article concerning Proposition 19, an earlier legalization initiative that was defeated by California voters, Conrad Justice Kiczenski noted that criminalization of cannabis as both industrial hemp and medical marijuana has served a multitude of industries, including the prison and military industry, the petroleum, timber, cotton, and pharmaceutical industries, and the banking industry. With the decriminalization of cannabis, he warned:
The next stage in continuing this control is in the regulation, licensing and taxation of Cannabis cultivation and use through the only practical means available to the corporate system, which is through genetic engineering and patenting of the Cannabis genome.
AUMA: Wolf in Sheep's Clothing?
Suspicions like these are helping to fuel opposition to the Adult Use of Marijuana Act (AUMA), a 2016 initiative that would rewrite the medical marijuana laws in California. While AUMA purports to legalize marijuana for recreational use, the bill comes with so many restrictions that it actually makes acquisition more difficult and expensive than under existing law, and makes it a criminal offense for anyone under 21. Critics contend that the Act will simply throw access to this medicinal wonder plant into the waiting arms of the Monsanto/Bayer/petrochemical/pharmaceutical complex. They say AUMA is a covert attempt to preempt California's Compassionate Use Act, Proposition 215, which was passed in 1996 by voter initiative.
Prop 215 did not legalize the sale of marijuana, but it did give ill or disabled people of any age the right to grow and share the plant and its derivatives on a not-for-profit basis. They could see a doctor of their choice, who could approve medical marijuana for a vast panoply of conditions; and they were assured of safe and affordable access to the plant at a nearby cooperative not-for-profit dispensary, or in their own backyards. As clarified by the 2008 Attorney General's Guidelines, Prop 215 allowed reimbursement for the labor, costs and skill necessary to grow and distribute medical marijuana; and it allowed distribution through a "storefront dispensing collective." However, the sale of marijuana for corporate profit remained illegal. Big Pharma and affiliates were thus blocked from entering the field.
At the end of 2015 (effective 2016), the California state legislature over-rode Prop 215 with MMRSA – the Medical Marijuana Regulation and Safety Act of 2015/16 – which effectively rewrites the Health Code pertaining to medical marijuana. Opponents contend that MMRSA is unconstitutional, since a voter initiative cannot be changed by legislative action unless it so provides. And that is why its backers need AUMA, a voter initiative that validates MMRSA in its fine print. In combination with stricter California Medical Association rules for enforcement, MMRSA effectively moves medical marijuana therapy from the wholistic plant to a pharmaceutical derivative, one that must follow an AUMA or American Pharmaceutical Association mode of delivery. MMRSA turns the right to cultivate into a revocable privilege to grow, contingent on local rules. The right to choose one's own doctor is also eliminated.
Critics note that of the hundreds of millions in tax revenues that AUMA is expected to generate from marijuana and marijuana-related products, not a penny will go to the California general fund. That means no money for California's public schools, colleges, universities, hospitals, roads and other infrastructure. Instead, it will go into a giant slush fund controlled by AUMA's "Marijuana Control Board," to be spent first for its own administration, then for its own law enforcement, then for penal and judicial program expenditures.
Law enforcement and penalties will continue to be big business, since AUMA legalizes marijuana use only for people over 21 and makes access so difficult and expensive that even adults could be tempted to turn to the black market. "Legalization" through AUMA will chiefly serve a petrochemical/pharmaceutical complex bent on controlling all farming and plant life globally.

The National Academy of Sciences (NAS) is one the most prestigious mainstream groups in America. Quoting from its website:
"NAS is a private, non-profit society of distinguished scholars. Established by an Act of Congress, signed by President Abraham Lincoln in 1863, the NAS is charged with providing independent, objective advice to the nation on matters related to science and technology. Scientists are elected by their peers to membership in the NAS for outstanding contributions to research. The NAS is committed to furthering science in America, and its members are active contributors to the international scientific community. Nearly 500 members of the NAS have won Nobel Prizes, and the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, founded in 1914, is today one of the premier international journals publishing the results of original research."
You'd think the major media would dutifully parrot every NAS pronouncement. And with few exceptions, you'd be right.
Here is an exception. In May, the NAS issued a comprehensive report: "Genetically Engineered Crops: Experiences and Prospects." The report's key finding takes in the entire period of US cultivation of GMO crops:
"The nation-wide data on maize, cotton, or soybean in the United States do not show a significant signature of genetic-technology on the rate of yield increase." — Chapter 6, Page 66.
A less ponderous translation: the genetic engineering of crops hasn't resulted in rising output.
Bigger yield was the whole selling point of GMOs.
That was the innovation that was going to save the world.
That was, and is, what the grotesque hype-artist, Bill Gates, has been trying to sell Africa.
Incompetent scientists, sold-out scientists, brain-damaged scientists, scared scientists have all been assuring us that GMO crops produce much higher yields, and they've been accusing critics of standing in the way of progress for all, hatred of humanity, and ignorance of real science.
Suddenly, their darling of darlings, the National Academy of Sciences, is pelting them with pigeon droppings from above.
The horror.
Not higher crops yields? What? All that gene manipulation? All that health-destroying Roundup? And what is there to show for it?
Let's see. Oh yes. Larger corporate profits.
A great deal of stage magic, a host of technical incantations, a heavy dose of shuck and jive, and poof, more money for Monsanto and Dow and the other mystical babbling biotech giants.

(Lyme Disease, Morgellons Disease, and GMO Foods, All Connected? – By Anne Gordon, RN)
Today, we see horrific manifestations of a sick society with zombie-like heartless acts of violence. We are seeing creepy emerging emerging pathologies, new assaults to immunology, science fiction mad scientists, and technology with disturbing self-serving agendas. There are many people suffering beneath the veneer of shopping malls, latest gadgetry, and the illusion of connection through plastic. You won't be seeing this on your TV News station any time soon, if ever.
Many have heard of Morgellons disease, Lyme Disease, and GMOs, but, none appear to be 'main stream news'. Morgellons Disease has been labeled as a 'delusional' disease, or as the 'mystery skin disease'. (Morgellons is the strange manifestation of unusual fibers seen in skin lesions that itch, and appear to 'move'. People with the affliction describe a crawling stinging sensation, just under the skin. They also suffer from brain fog, and depression and other debilitations). Lyme Disease manifests as plethora of symptoms, often misdiagnosed. And GMO (genetically modified) foods are sneaking into our food sources without our knowledge or consent. The studies more often than not question the safety of ingesting the tampered engineered foods.
In 2008, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention paid researchers $300,000 to conduct a 3 year study on Morgellons. Thousands of people suffer from this. Fibers under the microscope (100x) have a unique arrangement of blue, red, white green and fluorescent. What?
The latest research, indicates a surprising link according to the paper published in January 28, 2013 by Peter Mayne of Australia (principal author), found that Borrelia Spirochetes was found in the skin lesions of Morgellons victims. Surprisingly this bacteria, has been also been associated with Lyme disease. In fact, this research paper, suggests changing the name of Morgellons disease, to Borrelial Dermatitis.
According to other researchers in New York, (State University of New York) it is suggested that environmental factors might also be involved in this disturbing disease. They suggest that the fibers are biological with floral root-like structures, and could be from cross contamination of DNA from plants and humans through GMO's.
Some physicians are suggesting that Morgellons is an unusual morphing of Lyme disease. This is a revolutionary connection, presenting a differential diagnosis, and could de-stigmatize the current delusionary assessment of Morgellons, the debilitating disease.
According to the Morgellons Research Foundation, there are well over 15,000 self-identified sufferers from 15 countries including the US (all 50 states), Canada, the UK, Australia, South Africa, and the Netherlands. In the US, most cases are reported from California, followed by Texas and Florida. The numbers are rising, not declining.
There are increasing new resources for ways to recognize these diseases, and for ways of maintaining a stronger immune system. Strengthening the immune system, by reduction of toxic assault, is an important way to create a barrier from emerging disease regardless of their origin (synthetic or natural). Learn how to avoid the poisons, creating your own barricade, of your mind and body. It is your time to be proactive, not passive…. if you want to thrive in a changing world.

GMO and Morgellons Disease – By Barbara H. Peterson
Since the Clinton administration made biotechnology "a strategic priority for U.S. government backing" (1), giant transnational agri-business concerns have aggressively taken over the global food chain by flooding it with Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO) without regard for the consequences to the earth or its inhabitants. This takeover not only has the potential for global economic devastation, but threatens the earth's population with far-reaching health concerns as well. One health concern that seems to coincide with the GMO revolution is Morgellons disease. What if the advent of Morgellons disease has something to do with the ingestion of GMO foods?
Morgellons Disease – What is it?
Very little can be found regarding this disease. Originally, sufferers were told that their problem was imaginary. This was of little comfort to the people who were suffering.
Morgellons Disease sufferers report strange, fiber-like material sticking out of sores or wounds that erupt on the skin. This is accompanied by painful, intense itching, that has been described as "an ever present sensation as if something is crawling under the skin." (2)
On May 18, 2006, KGW, a local news channel reporting out of the Oregon area published this story:
Strange sickness: Mystery disease horror story (excerpt)
[Dr. Drottar] The disabled family practice doctor felt like bugs were crawling under her skin.
"If I fully tell people what has gone on with me medically, they think they're in the twilight zone," said Drottar.
She woke up with the feeling that fluid was flowing just below her skin. Often black or blue hair like fibers protruded from her skin, she said.
"I thought I had been exposed to asbestos. I thought I was having asbestos fibers come out of my skin. I was pulling long, thin, small hair-like fibers that were extremely sharp that could literally pierce through my finger nails," Drottar said.
In addition to the feeling of bugs and the fibers, Drottar also suffered from severe depression, chronic fatigue and a weakened immune system. As a result, she had to give up her family practice, Drottar said. (3)
Morgellons and GMO – the Link
Little information has been revealed concerning the long-term health effects of GMO crops on humans or animals, and even less information can be had regarding research correlating Morgellons with GMO foods.
This is suspicious right off the bat, because it would seem that there would be a natural curiosity regarding a link between Genetically Modified Organisms that people ingest regularly and inorganic fibers that protrude from a person's skin.
This would be right up a geneticist's alley, and quite worthy of intensive research.
So, why aren't there a ton of published studies?
Why is it so difficult finding anything related to this?
Could it be that companies such as Monsanto have enough clout to effectively squash these stories?
If they have enough clout to ruin countries by deceiving impoverished farmers into purchasing patented GMO seeds, and then take it a step further and force these poor people to purchase seeds year after year instead of harvesting their own, then they have enough clout to ask our more than willing corporate government to manipulate the press…again.
According to Mike Stagman, PhD,
"Genetic Engineering is a nightmare technology that has already caused MANY disease epidemics — documented but unpublicized." (4)
The following article by Whitley Strieber published on October 12, 2007, titled "Skin Disease May Be Linked to GM Food" concludes that the fibers taken from a Morgellons sufferer contain the same substance that is "used commercially to produce genetically-modified plants."
Skin Disease May Be Linked to GM Food
Many people—and most physicians—have written off Morgellons disease as either a hoax or hypochondria. But now there is evidence that this mysterious disease may be REAL and related to GENETICALLY MODIFIED food!
The skin of Morgellons victims oozes mysterious strands that have been identified as cellulose (which cannot be manufactured by the human body), and people have the sensation of things crawling beneath their skin. The first known case of Morgellons occurred in 2001, when Mary Leitao created a web site describing the disease, which had infected her young son. She named it Morgellons after a 17th century medical study in France that described the same symptoms.
In the Sept. 15-21 issue of New Scientist magazine, Daniel Elkan describes a patient he calls "Steve Jackson," who "for years" has "been finding tiny blue, red and black fibers growing in intensely itchy lesions on his skin." He quotes Jackson as saying, "The fibers are like pliable plastic and can be several millimeters long. Under the skin, some are folded in a zigzag pattern. These can be as fine as spider silk, yet strong enough to distend the skin when you pull them, as if you were pulling on a hair."
Doctors say that this type of disease could only be caused by a parasite, but anti-parasitic medications do not help. Psychologists insist that this is a new version of the well-known syndrome known as "delusional parasitosis." While this is a "real" disease, it is not a physically-caused one.
But now there is physical evidence that Morgellons is NOT just psychological. When pharmacologist Randy Wymore offered to study some of these fibers if people sent them to him, he discovered that "fibers from different people looked remarkably similar to each other and yet seem to match no common environmental fibers."
When they took them to a police forensic team, they said they were not from clothing, carpets or bedding. They have no idea what they are.
Researcher Ahmed Kilani says he was able to break down two fiber samples and extract their DNA. He found that they belonged to a fungus.
An even more provocative finding is that biochemist Vitaly Citovsky discovered that the fibers contain a substance called "Agrobacterium," which, according to New Scientist, is "used commercially to produce genetically-modified plants." Could GM plants be "causing a new human disease?" (5)
GMO – Not on My Watch!
The giant transnational corporations behind the GMO revolution are hitting us in our most vulnerable spot – our bellies. Most people have been brought up with an innate trust that what they purchase from the stores is safe to eat.
This is no longer true, since most processed foods contain genetically engineered ingredients that can have disastrous effects on both animal and human health.
What you purchase from the corner store might just change your DNA and create such frightening symptoms that the general public simply does not believe it. What is worse is that when you go to the doctor to get help, he/she tells you what you are experiencing is all in your head. This is rubbish! It is up to people who care to make the correlations between what we eat and what happens to our bodies. Remember the old saying – "you are what you eat?" Well, this author believes it is true.

Explore how science is changing the food that we eat. From double-muscled bulls to featherless chickens, this is breeding on a whole new level. Stepping into the world of transgenics, we encounter rabbits with a jellyfish gene in their DNA (they glow in the dark), and salmon engineered to grow four times faster than normal.
Houston, We Have a Glyphosate Problem

Source: Houston, We Have a Glyphosate Problem
http://freedom-articles.toolsforfreedom.com
We have an out-of-control glyphosate problem. Glyphosate is the most used and most destructive pesticide in the world.
We all have a massive glyphosate problem
on our hands, even if you have eaten 100% organic food all your life. The pesticide chemical glyphosate, Monsanto's gift to mankind, is totally out of control – not just in the US, but also in Europe, Australia and many other nations that use it. Glyphosate is almost constantly in the news, as study after study reveal just how widespread, toxic and carcinogenic it is. It's the most used pesticide in the world. Meanwhile, the US, EU, UN and others all argue over how this lethal chemical killer should be classified and labeled – despite the fact it's showing up in people's urine, breast milk and blood (yes – even those avoiding GMOs), and despite the fact that it has been found to be, in the words of an MIT scientist, "the most destructive chemical in our environment". Although glyphosate used to be the patented chemical solely belonging to Monsanto and used in its RoundUp formula, it is now used by other Big Biotech corporate multinationals such as Dow in their Durango pesticide formula. Now, with the NWO corporatocracy trying to push through the TTIP in secret, backroom deals are being made (such as Big Pharma company Bayer trying to buy out Big Biotech company Monsanto) that could spread glyphosate even further. When is the world going to wake up and acknowledge the uncontrolled glyphosate problem we face?
Glyphosate problem: it interferes with the shikimate pathway in plants – and good bacteria in your gut.
How Glyphosate Kills Plants – And You
Glyphosate is such an effective killer because it gets into plants and prevents them from taking up their normal nutrients – thus starving them to death. Glyphosate depletes micronutrients (such as calcium, zinc, magnesium, sulfur and cobalt, just to name a few) which are essential for health in plant and animal organisms. Specifically, glyphosate interferes with the shikimate pathway, a metabolic function in plants which allows them to create essential amino acids or proteins. Without this pathway functioning properly, the plant cannot survive.
Although animals and humans don't have a shikimate pathway, here comes the glyphosate problem: the bacteria in our gut (microbiome or microbiota) do have this pathway, and we are reliant upon this microbiome in our gut for our health, immunity and our "second brain". When we allow glyphosate to infiltrate our system, it destroys our gut and subsequently our immune system.
Glyphosate Mimics Glycine
Another particularly nefarious aspect of glyphosate is that it chemically resembles 1 of the 22 amino acids, glycine. Thus, the human body can be tricked into accepting glyphosate in place of glycine, as Tony Mitra writes:
"Pretending to be the amino acid Glycine, [glyphosate] can cross the blood-brain barrier and start interfering in our brain chemistry. It can mis-fold proteins and cause them to behave unnaturally and perform unintended tasks with potential negative effects for us.
It can and does get into our bone marrow and start producing T-cells and helper cells with this rogue chemical fitted in place of glycine. It can get into our DNA and RNA and be responsible for producing potentially dangerous transgenic mutants in our offsprings that will show negative effects even a few generations down the line.
And once it is into our biology, there is no effective way for our immune system, or for man, to get rid of it and replace it, molecule by molecule, with the original glycine."
Another aspect of the glyphosate problem is that it mimics glycine.
Glyphosate also affects blood production by affecting heme, an iron-containing compound that forms the nonprotein part of hemoglobin. The article The Monsanto – Autism – Parasite Connection also states that:
"While heme is believed to be synthesized in every cell of the body, it's primary location of synthesis is the liver and the bone marrow. Interestingly, a prime location for where glyphosate is known to accumulate within the body is the bone marrow. Due to the similarity in molecular structure between glyphosate and the amino acid glycine, a molecule required as a substrate for the production of heme, it is very plausible that glyphosate may be directly impairing heme synthesis, and therefore creating a cascade of problems that results from suboptimal levels of heme."
This also has relevance to the autism connection (see below).
The situation is the same, basically, as when the human body readily grabs carbon monoxide instead of oxygen, thus unwittingly poisoning itself. This is a predictable, albeit devastating, upshot of the entire synthetic chemical drug agenda. When you create situation where the body accepts artificial and synthetic drugs instead of those same or similar compounds derived from natural sources, you get horrible consequences.
Is the glyphosate problem merely correlated with, or actually causing, autism?
The Glyphosate-Autism Connection
With autism rates skyrocketing in the US, even the Big Pharma-controlled CDC has conservatively admitted that 1 in every 68 American children, and 1 in every 42 boys, have autism. Yes, this is the same CDC whose officials have a revolving door with Big Pharma (e.g. Merck's Dr. Julie Gerberding) and who have admitted to falsifying data to hide a vaccine-autism connection (Dr. William Thompson). Could there also be a glyphosate-autism connection? Dr. Stefanie Seneff certainly thinks so, based on the fact that symptoms of glyphosate toxicity and autism are so similar, although to be fair, at this stage she may only be showing evidence of a correlation, not causation.
The article I quote above on Monsanto and autism further states:
"… it is very plausible that glyphosate may be directly impairing heme synthesis, and therefore creating a cascade of problems that results from suboptimal levels of heme. Indeed, porphyrins, which are molecular components of heme and heme synthesis have been found to be valuable markers in the biochemical picture of autism. Elevations of certain porphyrins can indicate impairment of heme synthesis and has been found within the autistic population."
If you have a child with autism, I would definitely suggest getting them tested for glyphosate toxicity.
Numerous Other Toxic Effects of Glyphosate
Glyphosate is responsible for so many toxic effects in your body. Studies show that even small amounts of glyphosate over a long period of time (a "chronic ultra-low dose") can lead to organ failure. It disrupts hormones. It leads to all kinds of cancer. Brandon Turbeville wrote an excellent article Is Monsanto Contributing To The Rise In Mass Shootings?, pointing out the connection between mass shootings, pharmaceutical drugs and the possible inability of those taking those drugs to metabolize them due to CYP450 enzymes not functioning properly. Guess what impairs the proper functioning of CYP450 enzymes? Glyphosate …
Monsanto Knew How Deadly Glyphosate Was
Last year in 2015, Dr. Anthony Samsel and Dr. Stefanie Seneff analyzed 15,000 pages of scientific documents on Monsanto's glyphosate research. Their conclusion was that Monsanto's claims of safety were entirely false. Monsanto knew they had a glyphosate problem, that glyphosate was responsible for a variety of organ failures and cancers, but hid and distorted the data to protect its profit. As Justin Gardner writes in Newly Unsealed Documents Reveal EPA & Monsanto Always Knew Roundup Was Deadly Toxic:
"According to Samsel, Monsanto intentionally corrupted animal studies by using animals that were already sick with cancer and organ failures as controls. Based on the metrics used in these studies, this made those animals exposed to glyphosate appear no more afflicted than the control animals because all of the animals ended up getting sick."
You Don't Have a Gluten Problem – You Have a Glyphosate Problem
As I wrote about in an earlier article, I think the gluten-free movement is largely misguided. I respect people trying to take charge of their health, but I think wheat itself has been unfairly demonized in the process when the real culprit is glyphosate. When we are dousing fields of crops – both non-GMO and conventional crops – with glyphosate, you will be ingesting it even if you avoid GMOs.
Conclusion: The Glyphosate Problem is Out of Control
The glyphosate problem is out of control. Like synthetic GMOs themselves, this synthetic chemical is the most widely sprayed herbicide in history, and has infiltrated environments across the world, including your bio-terrain – your body. In many ways, it symbolizes the synthetic agenda of the entire New World Order: to replace organic, natural, biological organisms with artificial, technological, metallic ones. Is the ultimate purpose of GMOs and glyphosate to change our DNA?
We have to look this issue squarely in the eyes – before it completely overruns us.

Source: Ten Health Ranger predictions and warnings for the next 18 months: Medical marijuana, nuclear terrorism, economic turbulence, martial law and more… – NaturalNews.com
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
(NaturalNews) Here are ten serious predictions about events I believe have a better-than-even chance of unfolding over the next 18 months (or so). These predictions are based on projections of present-day observations combined with an understanding of social psychology and human history.
Societies all across our planet are now at the breaking point. Fiscal, geopolitical and environmental catastrophes are all converging into an era of unprecedented crisis. At the same time, people all over the world are now "waking up" and realizing they've been lied to all along.
Trust in the establishment has been shattered. Nations like Brazil and Venezuela are already in full-fledged revolts (and headed toward civil war or military coups). More than ever in human history, today's citizens are demanding transparency and an end to the systems of corruption and deception that have brought us all to the brink of self-destruction.
With all this in mind, here are my ten predictions for the next 18 months:
Prediction #1) Medical marijuana gets legalized nationwide, at the federal level, under the new administration
Technically, my prediction on this is more like 24 – 48 months out, but I do believe that within the first four years of the next administration, medical marijuana will finally be legalized nationwide as a regulated prescription treatment for a limited number of health conditions.
Big Pharma will attempt to block the effort to protect its opioid profits, but with the opioid epidemic now exploding everywhere, lawmakers will be far more open to finally decriminalizing the therapeutic use of hemp. Stay informed at MedicalMarijuanaUpdate.com.
Prediction #2) A vastly improved glyphosate detection method gets published, unleashing a wave of low-cost glyphosate testing and the publication of shocking findings about glyphosate contamination of everyday foods
Within the next 12 – 18 months, we'll see the publishing of a breakthrough new glyphosate detection method that enables laboratories to quickly and efficiently test foods for glyphosate.
This new method will unleash a wave of low-cost glyphosate testing, and the result will be a wave of science papers unveiling shocking levels of glyphosate contamination across foods, beverages and even the environment. Stay informed at Glyphosate.news.
Prediction #3) Social chaos erupts across America no matter who wins the presidential election
No matter who wins in November, mass social chaos erupts across America (both before and after the election).
We're already seeing protesters on the left instigating a lot of violence, and there's little doubt that frustrated Americans on the right might (literally) go ballistic if Clinton wins the White House.
If Clinton wins, by the way, watch for a serious secession movement to sweep across Texas and the American south. Stay informed at Clinton.news and Trump.news.
Prediction #4) A nuclear terrorism event unfolds somewhere across the western world
It might be caused by ISIS (a la their recent attempt in Brussels), or it could be carried out by a government itself as a false flag to disrupt the election (see below). With so many governments now in total disarray (Brazil, Venezuela, Germany, Hungary, etc.), lots of nervous elitists are going to be looking for, literally, the "nuclear option" to protect their power monopolies by unleashing maximum chaos.
If they do pull the trigger, people who live nearby had better be ready to bug out. Ready more at Bugout.news.
Prediction #5) Donald Trump wins the election, then the Federal Reserve pulls the plug on money printing to crash the system
Based on what we know so far, I give Trump a 90% chance of winning the election in November. But that's when the real war begins: a war to crash the economy out from under President Trump as a strategy to demand his impeachment and ousting from power.
Because the Fed is part of the global elitist system of establishment control, it will invoke its fiscal tools as weapons of mass destruction to target President Trump, even if it means causing mass economic destruction for the populace. Stay informed at Newstarget.com.
Prediction #6) Another cancer doctor gets arrested and charged with criminal fraud
This year already saw the arrest and prosecution of Dr. Farid Fata, a cancer doctor who committed medical murder by falsely diagnosing patients with cancer (then "treating" them with deadly chemotherapy).
I predict that before the end of 2017, we'll see at least one more cancer doctor get arrested and prosecuted for criminal fraud. We'll be covering the criminal charges, of course, at NaturalNews.com.
Prediction #7) A desperate false flag effort is made by the corporate/political establishment to unleash maximum chaos right before the November election
This is a huge prediction, so let me be specific: This involves some sector of the establishment unleashing a massive false flag attack as a disruptive event that attempts to alter the outcome of the election.
Such an attack could involve the bombing of buildings, unleashing chemical or biological weapons, the use of radiological weapons or nuclear events, the planting of a dirty bomb, the bombing of a national monument, the invocation of war with a foreign power or some other significant conflict that holds the possibility of altering the near future. (When they're about to lose everything, they'll try anything!)
A couple of great websites to help you track all this are TheCommonsenseShow.com and The Economic Collapse Blog.
Prediction #8) Bombshell scientific evidence nails the coffin, linking pesticides to cancer, autism and Parkinson's
Significant scientific evidence will emerge over the next 18 months that links pesticides, herbicides or fungicides to serious degenerative diseases like cancer, autism and Parkinson's disease.
This research will likely involve neonics, glyphosate, insecticides or similar chemicals that are routinely used to control either crop pests or disease-carrying insects.
Prediction #9) A new whistleblower steps forward, unveiling shocking scientific fraud in the vaccine industry (or inside vaccine regulators)
There is a better-than-even chance that a new vaccine industry whistleblower steps forward in the next 18 months or so, dumping explosive new documents onto the new media that indict the vaccine insiders for scientific fraud.
These revelations will break in the new media first, possibly on a website like The Daily Caller or even Natural News. The mainstream media will, predictably, ignore the news and pretend it never happened.
Stay informed at Vaccines.news.
Prediction #10) Martial Law gets declared in at least six large U.S. cities within the next 48 months
Within the first four years of the next president's term, martial law is declared in at least half a dozen U.S. cities. Interestingly, this will be a flavor of martial law that most people will actually demand for their own protection!
The context for this will be the aftermath of mass social chaos and SJW arsonists and violence instigators who battle with local police while destroying local business infrastructure. Watch for Martial Law to be used as an excuse for the feds to go door to door, confiscating not just firearms, but also storable food supplies which will all be condemned as "hoarding." Stay informed at BigGovernment.news or NationalSecurity.news.
Hint: Hide your food before this happens, or FEMA will "acquisition" your food supplies to be redistributed to all the people who failed to prepare in the first place.
Stay safe, everybody! Be prepared for the era of unprecedented chaos and catastrophe that's now frighteningly close.
