Monsanto: A Corrupting Corporation at its Finest

Because of the phenomenally successful March Against Monsanto, almost all rank-and-file citizens in the country now at least know the term "GMO" and the name "Monsanto."  If you don't know what a GMO is and the risks they pose, check out my other article, You Are What You Eat.  What you may not be aware of is the lengths to which Monsanto has gone in order to seize control of both our democratic process and the global food supply.

Monsanto is an agricultural corporation that got its start by producing chemicals like the infamous and horrendous Agent Orange (which was used as a biological weapon in the Vietnam war and is still killing people today) and the pervasive Roundup weed killer.  As I had mentioned previously, Roundup itself has been directly linked to diabetes, autism, obesity, heart disease, cancer and more.

Monsanto is an organization that has proven, time and time again, that their corporate profits are far more important than trivial issues like the sanctity of human life and the health of the planet.  Here are a few quotes that demonstrate this in a nutshell:

"Monsanto should not have to vouchsafe the safety of biotech food...Our interest is in selling as much of it as possible.  Assuring its safety is the FDA's job."  -Phil Angell, Monsanto director of corporate communications

"Ultimately, it is the food producer who is responsible for assuring safety." -FDA

"The hope of the industry is that over time the market is so flooded [with GMOs] that there's nothing you can do about it.  You just sort of surrender." -Don Westfall, biotech industry consultant

"If you put a label on genetically engineered food you might as well put a skull and crossbones on it." - Norman Braksick, president of Asgrow Seed Co., a subsidiary of Monsanto

Look, we all want to make money.  I get it.  But genetically modified crops are largely untested for potential long-term consequences. Even the New York times is attacking Monsanto's "science" on GMO safety as a fraud.  More studies are regularly surfacing that prove GM foods cause cancer, massive organ failures, grotesque tumors, and early death.  Scientists who formerly spoke in favor of genetic modification have switched stances.  Thierry Vrain, a scientist whose job it was to reassure public groups that GM foods were safe now says "… I refute the claims of the biotechnology companies that their engineered crops yield more, that they require less pesticide applications, that they have no impact on the environment and of course that they are safe to eat."

Genetically modified foods can be summed up with one simple word: Poison.

With the legitimacy of GM foods up in the air, you would think that at the very least, there would be mandates in place that would require labeling of any food with genetically modified material in it.  Without labeling, the entire populace becomes unwitting lab rats in a massive GM experiment.  What you might be interested to learn is that not only is labeling not mandated anywhere in the United States, but also our own government officials have passed legislation critics call the Monsanto Protection Act.  In a nutshell, this legislation means that even if GM foods are found to be dangerously unsafe, production and distribution of the "food" cannot be halted by law.  This piece of legislation was quietly attached to the budget deal that was passed in March of this year.

Everything you have read so far demonstrates the symptoms of blatant systemic corruption in our government.  To the right is a list of 18 Monsanto personnel and their corresponding appointed positions in our government.  This is not acceptable.  This is something We the People must work to correct.

For the best advice on how to get involved, see my article "Fear nothing. Question everything. Stand up for your rights."  In this case, getting involved with or at least informed on the March Against Monsanto (linked above) is also a great start.  Beyond that: Talk to your friends and family.  Educate a complete stranger.  Attend and speak up at your local City Council meetings.  Write your representatives in government.  Make your voice heard.  You cannot count on your elected representatives to make this right on their own.  It's up to us.

You Are What You Eat

Did you know that your body completely replaces every single one of its cells about once every seven years?  Quantum physics and the fact that who we are is obviously not the stuff of which we are made aside, your body has to get the raw materials to replace those cells from somewhere.  It stands to reason that these raw materials are obtained through what you eat.

Quite literally, you are what you eat.

With any luck, this has you starting to think about just what you eat on a day to day basis.  "Maybe I shouldn't have had that McDonald's cheeseburger or those deep-fried Oreos after all (which I did this weekend)..."  While cutting out highly processed foods is something we should all seek to do, I wish I could tell you that was all you had to do to give your body the right materials to regenerate.  I wish it was as easy as just upping your intake of fruits and vegetables.  Unfortunately, we live in dark times with powerful entities who care more about profit than your health.

Enter: The genetically modified organism.

There's a corporation you've probably heard of called Monsanto.  They deserve an article all their own, so I won't get into them here.  The bottom line is that they're responsible for  the creation of two variants of genetically modified crops: Roundup Ready and BT.  The vast majority of the staple foods in America today (corn, soy, etc.) are comprised of these genetically modified crops.  If you believe the official story, these crops "...help farmers grow yield sustainably so they can be successful, produce healthier foods, better animal feeds and more fiber, while also reducing agriculture's impact on our environment."

Roundup is an herbicide that is used to kill weeds.  Roundup works by blocking an organism's access to nutrients.  In essence, Roundup starves plants to death.

Here's where it gets bad.

Monsanto once found a strain of bacteria growing in a vat of their Roundup chemical.  Apparently, they thought it would be a good idea to isolate the gene that allowed this bacteria to survive and splice it into most of the corn and soy that is grown today.  This allows the crops to survive being sprayed, and as a result, they are sprayed judiciously.  Due to the nature of Roundup, these plants are devoid of a significant amount of nutritional value.  What is left instead is a "food" full of poisons and chemicals.  Roundup, by the way, has been linked directly to a myriad of health risks, including diabetes, autism, obesity, heart disease, cancer and more.

Far from "reducing agriculture's impact on our environment," the widespread use of Roundup Ready crops has led to the mass infusion of poison into the soil.  Obviously, this is creating problems with the future potential to produce food.  And despite Monsanto's claim of "growing yields," an objective look at the situation shows that not only do they not increase yields, but in some cases, they decrease them.

BT crops, on the other hand, were designed to combat the issue of pest infestation.  BT crops do not need to be sprayed with pesticide, and the reason for this is that they produce their own. The pesticides produced by these crops cause insects' stomachs to explode when they eat them, killing the insect.  Now how could that possibly go wrong when a human eats it?

Well, as it turns out, there's a reason we have seen huge increases in food allergies since the GM experiment began, especially among children.  The pesticide that causes insects to explode from the inside out also causes holes in the intestinal walls of humans.  Food that has not been completely digested then leaks into the body.  Naturally, the body reacts by producing antibodies to attack these food bits, and congratulations!  You have a new food allergy!

Here's where it gets horrifying.

Recent studies have shown that when we eat, we don't just consume the physical components that make up our food.  We consume the information that is contained in that foods DNA.  Our bodies use this information when they regenerate cells.

Let that sink in for a minute.

What does this mean?  In short, it means every time you eat a genetically modified organism, you become just a little bit less human, a little bit more genetically modified.  In fact, consuming BT vegetables causes the bacteria in your intestines to produce pesticides that then attack your central nervous system.  The effects this has on developing children and fetuses is only beginning to be understood, but can already be seen by the sharp increases in childhood cancer, ADHD, autism, and mental development rates.  As a side note, these "crops" were implemented without any serious scientific studies being done to assess their risks, all in the name of profit (as usual).

Probably the most common defense of GM crops comes from "scientists" (often on the Monsanto payroll) who say "Humans have been genetically modifying crops for thousands of years!"  This is patently false.  Humans have been using cross-pollination and hybridization for thousands of years.  This is a process that occurs in nature, and it is no different from genetically diverse dogs who interbreed.  GM crops are created by forcibly combining DNA from entirely different species that would never have been able to reproduce in the wild.  Modern GM crops could be compared to Humans interbreeding with dogs - it simply can't happen, and if it did, the result would be an abomination.

While being vigilant about what you put into your body is a great start, the GM experiment (in which you are a lab rat) will not end until We the People stand up and put an end to it.  This has already started in a big way thanks to the phenomenally successful March Against Monsanto, and GM crops are already being outright banned in many other countries.  Where they are still legal to grow and sell, consumers are beginning to reject them.  It is up to us to stop this horrific destruction of the human race and environment by a small group of dominant people.

Stay tuned: We'll be getting into the corporation that wants to own you and control the world next.

Somebody's Poisoned the Water Hole!

I saw in the news this morning that the FDA has lowered the allowable limit of arsenic in apple juice.  It is now equal to that in the public water supply.  "Well that's good," I thought.  "A step in the right direction." Then I realized something: Why do we have "acceptable" levels of poisonous chemicals in anything the mass public must use to survive?  Okay, maybe we can't get around it.  I could accept that.  But why, then, are there not mass awareness campaigns or billboards or pamphlets or SOMETHING that is sponsored by the government to let the public know?  Shouldn't it be up to the individual to decide whether they are okay drinking these poisons, or if they'd prefer to find some cleaner water?

Apparently not.  Especially when you consider the deceptions behind water fluoridation, including CDC propaganda.  In fact, by comparison, arsenic contamination looks pretty tame.

If the official story is to be believed, water fluoridation is  great for your teeth.  It's a low-cost way to improve the health of peoples' teeth that transcends social and economic boundaries.  What a wonderful program!  But here's what they don't tell you.  Fluoride is an industrial waste product that megacorporations needed an easy way to dispose of.  "What better way," they thought, " than by dumping it into the public drinking water supply and calling it medicine!"  In summary:

-Water fluoridation has failed to reduce dental expenditures
-Water fluroidation has actually increased rates of tooth decay
-Water fluroidation has created an epidemic of dental flurosis
-Water fluoridation is responsible for damaging bones and triggering arthritis
-Children who drink fluoridated water develop lower IQs
-Fluoride calcifies the thyroid and pineal glands, which impacts hormone production in the body
-Fluoridated water is toxic to formula-fed babies
-The fluoride added to most water supplies is an industrial waste product that causes cancer
-Some sources suggest the first time water was fluoridated was in the Nazi concentration camps as a way to pacify the prison population

In fact, despite the historical propaganda and lies about the benefits of fluoridation, the EPA recently reversed its stance on the practice, citing that it is especially damaging to our children.


Is it any wonder, then, that so many other countries have outright banned this practice? 

If you're asking yourself how this could happen, how our water supplies could be openly poisoned with little to no backlash, then you're asking the right questions.  Keep that shit up.
