keep on wishing!laugh

If you wish in one Hand,and Crap in the Other,which one will get full first?:laughing:
Your hand will stay pretty empty!:laughing: biggrin

all that's gonna happen is that you all wind up in Jail,without having achieved anything!
Remember OCCUPY?
Well,one Man profited from it,the same one who had started it through Adbusters!
Yep,Uncle George the Billionaire!The one who gets Pssed everytime someone makes more Money than him!

Now the same Skullduggery is happening again,and it again is NOT in the People's favour!

Let's hope your Dream doesn't turn into a Nightmare


The "impossible" can only accomplished by one of two kinds of people:
1) Those too dumb to know that it was
2) Those smart enough to know that it isn't.

Either way, the "impossible" will only be accomplished by those brave enough to try.

you just wagging your Bill,instead of thinking rationally!laugh
You're not up against Monsanto,but you are up against the Political Power of the US,with all its implications!
You really think Monsanto is worried about a couple of Ducks,when they have the power and protection of a Congresional Act behind them?

This is what you are up against!

A truly bi-Partisan Effort,ain't it?pitchfork



BTW,what is Canada doing about it?
While you were marching!

Once upon a time, a system was designed in which “the people” elected delegates to go to Washington DC. These members of Congress had the specific duty of representing the wishes of their constituencies when laws were being voted upon.

The success of last weekend’s March Against Monsanto should have made it very clear that a great many people wish to see, at the very least, labels on toxic GMO foods. The fact that this success was covered up by the media does NOT mean that the members of Congress were unaware of it – just the opposite. Our success was frightening, and that is why it was covered up.

Despite that, the day before the event, an amendment to the farm bill that would have allowed the individual states to pass laws protecting consumers from unlabeled GMOs was quietly shot down in the Senate with a vote of 71-27 against this right. The timing of this betrayal, right before a long weekend, goes along with the general modus operandi of sliding through things that will meet with objections from the public when they are otherwise distracted.

The failure to pass this amendment was due in part to Monsanto mouthpiece Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.), the chair of the Agriculture Committee. Stabenow, incidentally, received over three quarters of a million dollars from agribusiness interests ($739,926 to be exact) in agribusiness donations. Stabenow utilized the propaganda that is being dispersed by the likes of Monsanto and the Gates Foundation to argue her point:
Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.), the chair of the Agriculture Committee, spoke on behalf of the biotech giant seizing the opportunity to focus primarily on the myth that genetically modified ingredients feed the hungry people of the world, ignoring the fact that 64 countries now require GMO labeling.

“This particular amendment would interfere with the FDA’s science-based process to determine what food labeling is necessary for consumers,” Stabenow said.

“It’s also important to note that around the world now we are seeing genetically modified crops that have the ability to resist crop diseases and improve nutritional content and survive drought conditions in many developing countries,” she added.

Unable to make the connection with how allowing states to label GMO foods would interfere with corporate biotech operations abroad, she instead took the opportunity to show that the chair of the Agriculture Committee is marching lockstep with the Gates Foundation.

“We see wonderful work being done by foundations like the Gates Foundation and others, that are using new techniques to be able to feed hungry people,” she said. (Source)

This puts Stabenow right up there on the list with Senator Roy Blunt (R- Mo), the inextricably-linked congressman from Monsanto’s home state of Missouri who slipped the rider in for the Monsanto Protection Act last March. But Stabenow and Blunt are not the only enemies. Monsanto is the number one donor in the agricultural lobby, having spent nearly 6 million dollars in 2012, ($5,970,000) as well as more than $925,000 directly to political candidates. ($541,854 as Monsanto, $384,890 as Scott’s Miracle Gro, which is an agent for Monsanto’s “Round-up” ). Any politician who took money from them and then voted in favor of them is equally guilty of betraying their offices and the trust placed in them by voters.

There is simply no excuse for voting against the individual state’s rights to allow consumers to make informed choices about the food they purchase. The sponsor of the failed bill, Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, said:

“…the concept we’re talking about today is a fairly commonsense and non-radical idea.

“All over the world, in the European Union, in many other countries around the world, dozens and dozens of countries, people are able to look at the food that they are buying and determine through labeling whether or not that product contains genetically modified organisms.”

Sanders also noted that in the past he has helped pass laws in his home state of Vermont that would require GMO labeling but hasn’t seen those laws actually be enacted over fears that Monsanto would sue the state. This bill would allow states to do what they want without fear that the company that brought us agent orange could end up having more power than an entire state government. (Source)

The saying goes, “The friend of my enemy is also my enemy.” By this rationale, those who are in the back pocket of Monsanto are the enemies of those of us who demand proper oversight of the evil corporation through the checks and balances that are SUPPOSED to be in place to protect consumers. Therefore, it is patently clear that those in Congress who vote in favor of Monsanto are the enemy.

Let’s out the politicians who voted against the amendment last Friday that would have allowed the states to choose whether or not GMOs should be labeled. As long as these politicians are in office, GMOs will NOT be labeled at a national level, because these politicians will not allow legislations to pass that might harm the bottom line of their puppet-master, Monsanto. Real Farmacy put together a list of the US Senators who voted AGAINST our right to know what we are eating:



Despite the vast campaign donations the politicians receive from special interest groups, the recent grassroots movements like Occupy Monsanto and March Against Monsanto have proven that activism works without the huge budget. Even though Monsanto has a kennel full of obedient pet congress members, we can defeat the biotech enemy by spreading information. Teaching the public about the dangers of consuming GMOs, the environmental and health tolls of Monsanto’s farming methods, and the unscrupulous business practices that are designed to put small farmers around the globe out of business, is our most powerful weapon.

This is a call to action. Use the list above to make it clear that we will not stand idly by while our elected representatives betray us for the benefit of Monsanto.

* Find the email addresses and phone numbers of your Senator HERE. Write them a polite letter or make a polite phone call. Firmly and courteously demand answers.
* Use public forums provided to you on your local level to share information about the selling out of our health by these elected officials. Write letters to the editor, post on social media, and hand out fliers, being sure to follow local ordinances. Always be courteous to encourage dialogue.
* Find your senator’s page on Facebook. Actively post in the comments sections and post on their timelines about your displeasure regarding their betrayals.
* Use the power of social media to spread the word that these senators are the friends of Monsanto, and thus the enemies of food freedom and GMO labeling.

Like I say,remove the Political Protection,and the BOIL turns into a Pimple!

Politicians are bought and paid for by big corporations and that means Monsanto. Yes, getting rid of them is a good idea but it will not solve the problem because the next batch of politicians will also be bought and paid for.

GMO foods, labeled OR NOT LABELED can be put out of business when the consumer speaks.

McDonalds recently refused GM potatoes when their customers would not buy them. This act alone caused a GM potato business to shut down.

It will only take a small percent of educated people buying organic food and food they know is not GM to put a stop to it.

If people won't buy it, they can't sell it.

If GM food continues to be known as poison and unhealthy, and keeps getting the bad press, eventually it will fail.

I think the planting and contamination of GM foods are being done on purpose to contaminate the other food.

I think the ultimate goal is population reduction.

Buy organic.

Stay away from corn oil, cottonseed oil, Canola oil, and any products processed with this crap. Stay away from Aspartame and any products that contain it.

Its difficult, very difficult to find real healthy food in this country. Its a damn shame.

That's right...so everyone should vote with their money...That vote comes thru loud and clear to the corporations...especially when the vote is against them.

As long as people continue to buy the garbage, they'll keep feeding it to you...The organic food industry is BOOMING as a reaction to the plastic & GM swill they are trying to feed people.

The boom in that industry is of course trying to be controlled by Monsanto too, so let the small organic farmer beware...to spite the short-term profit potential, don't sell to Monsanto...It will only cost everyone dearly in the long run.

I reckon Hussein putting his name on it made it OK.laugh laugh

Here is a link to a list of GMO foods to avoid. Looks like those who wish not to eat them will have a hell-of-a-time finding healthy alternatives. It's a very long list.

Baby Foods???

Looks like if the Libs can't abort them, they will nail them as infants.

Is Monsanto trying to reduce the population.. with genetically engineered foods that cause sterilization?

and death?




Yes, they are, but they couldn't do it without a lot of help from their friends at the top of the food chain all the way down to the bottom....If you eat, you contribute....

Monsanto 101

Monsanto is not a food company.

Monsanto a chemical company that made its name, for example,
selling saccharin to Coca-Cola and Agent Orange to U.S.
military. Its products also include PCBs, dioxin, DDT, and rBGH.

Monsanto records annual sales of roughly $11.8 billion and
operates 404 facilities in 66 countries, over 6 continents with
products grown on more than 282 million acres worldwide.

Monsanto is one of three corporations (along with DuPont and
Syngenta) that control 70 percent of the global seed market --
aiming for monopoly power over the planet’s food and water
supplies.

Wheat falls after genetically modified grain found

Wheat futures fall after unapproved genetically modified grain is found in a field in Oregon

The price of wheat is ending lower after genetically modified wheat was found in a field in Oregon.

No genetically engineered wheat has been approved for U.S. farming by the United States Department of Agriculture. The discovery of the grain in an Oregon field, which wasn't designated for sale, caused traders to worry that more of the unapproved grain might be found.

Wheat for July delivery fell 4 cents to $6.9875 a bushel.

Art Liming, futures specialist at Citigroup in Chicago, said the discovery got traders worried that more unapproved genetically modified wheat might turn up in the U.S. and prompt buyers to look elsewhere for the grain. Liming said a Japanese order for wheat was canceled after the discovery.

"If they find it has gotten into the export pipeline, it's a big deal. If it's this one isolated incident, fine," Liming said. "It makes people edgy."

Other crop futures also fell. Corn lost 10.75 cents to $6.5425 a bushel and soybeans fell 6 cents to $14.9575.

Kill an ant hill with GM cornmeal.

I tried it as an experiment and it didn't seem to work at first. I guess it takes a while for the genetically modified poison in cornmeal to kill off the ants. Checking a large ant hill today (that I had given cornmeal to more than a year ago,) I found the ant hill was gone. So we are going to try it again on a huge red ant hill in the center of our empty lot. It's nice to know that GMO corn is good for something. Don't eat it.


Use Olive Oil

Use extra virgin olive oil for everything. Corn oil, pure vegetable oil and canola oil are made from GMO corn. Want to know why you have so many aches and pains and inflammation? Junk food, and GMO food.

Organic Milk!

Today I actually found Organic milk at our grocery store. It is the best tasting milk I have ever tasted. I had forgotten what real organic milk tasted like. WOW I don't even have to put chocolate in it to make it taste decent.

Organic is organic... if anyone claims to have an organic product and is using GM seed then they are frauds.

Most certified organic products and organic farmers are smart enough to know that, but the way the GM crops are contaminating farms, testing is probably going to need to become common.
