Campaigning Against Frankenfoods, GE Bioweapons, Environmental Destruction, and War

We need to put the brakes on Frankenfoods, glyphosate, and toxic agrochemicals, lab-engineered fake meat and dairy, biological weapons, rushed-to-market experimental GE drugs and vaccines, out-of-control politicians and technocrats, and warfare, violence, and exploitation in all of its manifestations. There is a practical, true-and-tried, solution to all of our inter-connected crises: Regeneration, Natural Health, Community-Building, and Planting Peace.

OCA and our family of organizations pledge to step up our educational campaigns, grassroots lobbying, and litigation. At the same time, we will highlight the positive solutions that are right under our feet, at the end of our forks and knives, and ripe for implementation in the realm of grassroots political action and resistance.

But we need your help.

If you can afford to make a donation to OCA to stop the madness and promote organics, natural health, and Regeneration, please do so now.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your support.

GENETIC ENGINEERING

The Promise of GE Foods 2.0: Haven’t We Heard All This Before?

Ken Roseboro writes:

“Proponents of synthetic biology and its ‘precision fermentation’ are claiming their products will help feed the world and mitigate climate change—the same claims made about earlier genetic engineering technologies, which never materialized.

Thirty years ago, proponents of new genetically engineered food crops made bold claims that the lab-created foods would help to ‘feed the world,’ create more nutritious foods, increase crop yields, and reduce pesticide use, among other bold claims.

Thirty years later, those claims remain unfulfilled. The two most common GMO crops are herbicide/glyphosate-tolerant soybeans and insect resistant corn. Neither of those crops are providing increased nutrition to consumers. They have failed to increase crop yields. The use of pesticides, particularly glyphosate herbicide, has increased by an estimated 404 million pounds. The majority of GMO corn and soybeans are used for animal feed, not human food, so the claim of feeding the world has also proven to be false.

Today, similar claims are being made about the next generation of GMOs, those produced by gene editing and synthetic biology. An article in National Geographic states that gene editing: ‘has the potential to change the foods we eat every day, boosting flavor, disease resistance, and yields, and even tackling allergens like gluten.’ On its website under ‘Feeding the World,’ synthetic biology company Ginkgo Bioworks claims it is ‘working towards a future where genetic engineering can help make foods that are sustainable, healthier, delicious, and accessible to everyone.’

But in its SEC filing disclosing the risks of its technology, Ginkgo Bioworks tells a different story: ‘The genetically engineered organisms and materials that we develop may have significantly altered characteristics compared to those found in the wild, and the full effects of deployment or release of our genetically engineered organisms and materials into uncontrolled environments may be unknown… Such deployment or release… could impact the environment or the health and safety of our employees, our customers’ employees, and the consumers of our customers’ products.’

Similar risks are found with gene editing. Proponents of the technology say it is precise. But an article in Nature magazine from July 2020 described how the use of gene editing on human embryonic cells caused “chromosomal mayhem.” That is not precision…”

Moms Across America Has Tested Public School Lunches for Toxicity and Nutritional Value, and the News is Not Good.

Stephanie Seneff writes:

“Moms Across America (MAA) is a nonprofit consumer group founded by Zen Honeycutt that advocates for lifestyles that support good health and longevity. A particular focus of the group has been the issue of pesticide contamination in foods, especially the pervasive herbicide glyphosate (the active ingredient in Roundup).

Moms Across America has just released the results of a study they conducted on public school lunches, purchased by moms and sent frozen by 2-day shipping directly to a laboratory where they were analyzed for many toxic chemicals, toxic metals, and nutritional deficiencies. The samples covered 18 cities in 15 states.

They found the following:

1. Glyphosate and AMPA (a breakdown product of glyphosate) were present in over 95% of the samples.

2. Consistently high levels of glyphosate were found in wheat-based foods.

3. 100% of the samples contained heavy metals at levels up to 6,293 times higher than the EPA’s maximum levels allowed in drinking water.

4. Veterinary drugs and hormones were also found in some samples, as well as many other agrochemicals besides glyphosate being used routinely on our crops.

5. The samples were also nutrient deficient.

Their results clearly show that an immediate overhaul of the school lunch program across the board is needed.

I have found strong evidence that glyphosate exposure is a major contributor to many chronic conditions that are on the rise. These include diabetes, obesity, fatty liver disease, autism, Alzheimer’s disease, inflammatory bowel disease, sleep disorder, etc., as shown in my book, Toxic Legacy.

The article released by MAA points out that nonalcoholic fatty liver disease affects one-third of the US population. Even children are being diagnosed with it, including 13% of normal children and one-third of children with obesity. These shocking rates have risen sharply among children in recent years, having more than doubled over the past two decades. Multiple studies conducted on mice and rats have shown that glyphosate exposure at very low levels causes fatty liver disease.

The US government would have tremendous impact if they were to subsidize public school lunches that are based on organic whole foods, across the nation. The extra costs would be easily recovered through the reduced expenditure on health care, and our nation’s children would have a much better chance of growing up strong and healthy.”
