Fake Meat & Genetic Engineering 2.0

As we announced several weeks ago, we are joining with our global allies, including Regeneration International, Mercola.com, Vandana Shiva’s Navdanya, and the Organic and Natural Health Association, to strengthen and expand the global resistance against GE Foods, especially Fake Meat and Dairy. We are determined to defend ourselves, farmers and consumers alike, from the increasing assault and collateral damage of “profit-at-any cost,” genetic engineering products and practices (foods and crops, “gain of function” experiments, bioweapons, gene-therapy vaccines, geoengineering, et al.) that are promoted by the global elite as “solutions” to our problems.

Genetically engineered fake meat and dairy, misleadingly described as “precision fermentation,” and “plant-based protein,” is basically unregulated and unlabeled. So-called Synthetic Biology (SynBio), greenwashed and packaged as the solution to world hunger, rural poverty, and the climate crisis, is the post-COVID food battle royale of the Great Reset. Synthetic Biology or GE 2.0 poses a direct threat to farmers, consumers, and the environment. The Brave New World of engineered lab foods and crops is lavishly funded and orchestrated by Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, the World Economic Forum, Silicon Valley, Bayer/Monsanto, and the transnational food giants. These megalomaniac Great Resetters, power drunk and flush with cash after COVID-19, are openly declaring their intention to eliminate the animal agriculture and animal husbandry practices carried out by a billion small farmers and pastoralists across the globe, ignoring the fact that the world’s 70 billion farm animals are essential to rural livelihoods, human nutrition, and the health of the soil (animal manure in compost and proper grazing). Farm animals, properly raised and nurtured, are absolutely necessary to regenerate our degraded carbon, nitrogen, and water cycles, and restore the biodiversity of the planet.

India-based Vandana Shiva is the world’s leading critic of synthetic biology, genetically engineered foods, and patents on seeds and life. Her inspirational writings are an essential tool as we move forward to stop the GE onslaught and build up an organic, regenerative, and equitable food, farming, and land-use system. As Vandana reminds us:

“Food is not a commodity, it is not ‘stuff’ put together mechanically and artificially in labs and factories. Food is life. Food holds the contributions of all beings that make the food web, and it holds the potential of maintaining and regenerating the web of life. Food also holds the potential for health and disease, depending on how it was grown and processed. Food is therefore the living currency of the web of life.

As an ancient Upanishad reminds us “Everything is food, everything is something else’s food.”

Good Food and Real Food are the basis of health.

Bad food, industrial food, fake food is the basis of disease.

Hippocrates said ‘Let food be thy medicine.’ In Ayurveda, India’s ancient science of life, food is called ‘sarvausadha’ the medicine that cures all disease.

Industrial food systems have reduced food to a commodity, to ‘stuff’ that can then be constituted in the lab. In the process both the planet’s health and our health has been nearly destroyed.

75% of the planetary destruction of soil, water, biodiversity, and 50% of greenhouse gas emissions come from industrial agriculture, which also contributes to 75% of food related chronic diseases. It contributes 50% of the GHG’s [Greenhouse Gases] driving Climate Change. Chemical agriculture does not return organic matter and fertility to the soil. Instead it is contributing to desertification and land degradation. It also demands more water since it destroys the soil’s natural water-holding capacity. Industrial food systems have destroyed the biodiversity of the planet both through the spread of monocultures, and through the use of toxics and poisons which are killing bees, butterflies, insects, birds, leading to the sixth mass extinction…”

VANDANA SHIVA

Our Bread, Our Freedom — A Call to Action

A letter from Dr. Vandana Shiva:

Dear friends,

Hope this finds you well. Over the past years, there have been increasing attempts to take control of our food and agricultural systems. In a few decades, the industrial food systems have destroyed the Earth’s systems, human health and livelihoods as it has directly violated ecological laws and laws of justice. Now we are seeing a global agenda to erase land-based cultures, to destroy real farms, real farmers, real food to create a dystopia of ‘farming without farmers’ and ‘food without farms’ as false totalitarian solutions to climate change. This anti-ecological response is to put the industrial food system on steroids.

That is why reclaiming our Food Sovereignty and Food Cultures is so vital to our time. Across the world, a large number of communities and movements are already exposing the fake solutions and narrative of the industrial globalized food system and offering creative and innovative solutions.

From the 2nd to the 16th of October 2022 (and beyond…), we invite you to join people and communities around the globe, and organize People’s Assemblies, Events, or Actions for Our Bread, Our Freedom, wherever you are – in parks, squares, gardens, schools and communities—to reclaim and reshape our food system, and take back our Seed, Food, Democracy and Freedom.

Let us celebrate the Earth’s biodiversity, our seeds, our soils, our land, our territories, and all sentient beings, and shape a new Earth Democracy based on Living Seed, Living Soil, healthy communities and living economies of care.

It is time to abandon our resource intensive and profit-based economic systems that have created havoc in the world, disrupting the planet’s ecosystems and undermining society’s systems of health, justice, and democracy.

It's time to Return to Earth. To her ecological laws to ensure food for all, health for all, work for all. Food and Nutrition are the currency of the cycles of life. Real farmers produce real food, which nourishes the soil, plants, and animals – including humans. Real food is at the heart of the health of the planet, as well as our health and well-being. Real farming has sustained the Earth and her civilizations over millennia.

Food is the great connector in the web of life. Food is a gift from the Earth given to us from the work and labor of women, farmers, farm workers, fisherfolk, pastoralists, gardeners, and mothers.

Let us prepare for a Recovery of our Food Freedom– through Our Bread Our Freedom Campaign – where the health and wellbeing of all peoples and the planet are at the center.

Best wishes,

Dr Vandana Shiva, President of Navdanya International

INTERVIEW

Frightening 80-Year Machinations of Monsanto & The Deep State

Biowarfare, Nazi and Japanese germ war collaborators and US Mafiosi hitmen brought into the CIA… open-air biological warfare experiments in St. Louis and other cities… mind-control psychedelics and the development of Manchurian Candidate assassins. Allen Dulles and the CIA assassinations of JFK, RFK, and Martin Luther King. The Mafia/CIA manipulations and murders of Marilyn Monroe and the orchestrated horrors of the Manson Family. The 1985 Oklahoma City bombing, the manufactured War on Drugs, and the Dick Cheney/Deep State False Flag attacks of 9/11. Last, but not least, the lab origins and Deep State/Big Pharma manipulations of the COVID-19 pandemic.

This incredible two-hour discussion between Alexis Baden-Mayer, Political Director of the OCA, and Jeremy Kuzmarov, editor of Covert Action Magazine will blow your mind. Set aside the time for this crash course on American history and the Deep State, and you’ll see why OCA is a passionate campaigner for a Regeneration Revolution, not only a revolution to transform our degenerate food and farming system, but our politics and foreign policy as well.

COVID-19

Building a Worldwide Movement Against “Corona Tyranny”

Michel Chossudovsky, in the final chapter of his new book, The Worldwide Corona Crisis: Global Coup D’état Against Humanity, writes:

“We do not seek to negotiate with corrupt government officials. We question their legitimacy. They are liars.

Our intent is to confront the powerful actors behind this criminal endeavor which is literally destroying people’s lives worldwide, while creating divisions within society. The impacts on mental health on population groups worldwide are devastating.

The numerous lockdowns documented in previous chapters (stay at home of the workforce), fear campaigns, COVID-19 policy mandates imposed on approximately 193 member states of the United Nations have also contributed to undermining and destabilizing:

the very fabric of civil society and its institutions including education, culture and the arts, social gatherings, sports, entertainment, etc.

all public sector activities including physical and social infrastructure, social services, law enforcement, etc.

all major private sector activities which characterize national, regional and local economies including small, medium and large corporate enterprises, family farms, industry, wholesale and retail trade, the urban services economy, transport companies, airlines, hotel chains, etc.

the structures of the global economy including international commodity trade, investment, import and export relations between countries, etc. The entire landscape of the global economy has been shattered.

In turn, a process of enrichment by the elite billionaires together with widening social inequalities is unfolding (see Chapter V).

The massive debts incurred by the nation-states resulting from corruption as well fiscal collapse have skyrocketed. Increasingly national governments are in a straitjacket, under the brunt of powerful creditor institutions. Mounting debts at all levels of society are the driving force (see Chapter IV)…”

LABEL GMOs

Court Smacks USDA for Lack of Transparency in GMO Labeling

OCA and our allies have campaigned for years to force the mandatory labeling of genetically engineered foods, raising millions of dollars and mobilizing millions of voters in hotly contested ballot initiatives in California (2012), Oregon (2013), and Washington State (2014). In 2014 we helped grassroots activists in Vermont successfully pass a mandatory labeling bill that put Monsanto and large food companies selling unlabeled GMO-tainted foods in a dangerous bind. If food companies like Nestle, Unilever, Coca-Cola, and General Mills were forced to obey the labeling law in Vermont, they would be forced to label nationwide as well, or else suffer from boycotts and severe public relations damage. And of course if they did the right thing and labeled nationwide, millions of consumers would refuse to buy their “Frankenfoods.”

Traitors in the organic movement, led by Gary Hirshberg of Stonyfield Farm, Whole Foods Market, and the Organic Trade Association, collaborated with Monsanto, the Grocery Manufacturers Association, and the Obama administration to pass the 2016 DARK act, outlawing state mandatory labeling laws such as Vermont and implementing a bogus and misleading “bioengineered” disclosure law that left it up to companies whether they actually put a “bioengineered” label on their products or simply used a QR computer “smart code” that would supposedly lead consumers to their website to obtain info on Genetically Engineered ingredients.

After prolonged litigation by the Center for Food Safety, a longtime OCA ally, and others a federal court finally ruled last week on the “bioengineered” disclosure law.

As Carey Gillam reports: “Years of legislative and court battles over the labeling of genetically engineered (GE) foods took another turn this week when a federal court determined on Tuesday that the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) erred in allowing food companies to label GE products simply with digital codes that consumers have to scan, without any accompanying disclosure options.

Under USDA rules that took full effect earlier this year, food made with genetically modified crops can be labeled simply as ‘bioengineered’ (BE), or come with a QR code guiding consumers to more information online, among other options.

But the court said those rules did not comply with the law, and found that the USDA knew that allowing ‘standalone electronic disclosure’ would not provide consumers ‘sufficient access’ to disclosures about bioengineering involved in creating certain products…”

OCA looks forward to testing GE 2.0 fake, so-called “plant-based,” meat and dairy products and exposing the labeling fraud of those SynBio companies who refuse to be honest with consumers about what’s really in their products. Last week’s court’s ruling unfortunately allows fake lab meat and dairy manufacturers to continue to self-declare whether “highly refined” ingredients (such as those found in SynBio foods) are GE or not.

GATES WATCH

Russell Brand and Will Harris on Bill Gates Buying Up More Farmland

While the world suffers from economic meltdown and a food crisis, Bill Gates is buying up hundreds of thousands of acres of American farmland.

Russell Brand highlights longtime regenerative rancher Will Harris of White Oak Pastures in Georgia on how centralized power and misapplied “high tech” patented GMO seeds, crops, and toxic chemicals, as advocated by Bill Gates, will lead to “unintended consequences” including environmental pollution, climate destabilization, and the impoverishment of small farmers and rural communities.

REAL FARMS NOT FAKE FOOD

Video Interview: From Frankenfoods to Real-Life Frankensteins

At first, Monsanto and the other gene giants focused on genetically engineering crops and animals to sell more pesticides. Basically, their business model was to bankrupt farmers by selling them stuff they never needed in the first place.

In the process, they destroyed the soil, poisoned the water, abused the animals and gave countless numbers of people cancer, diet-related diseases and life-long disabilities.

They obviously didn't care if families lost their farms or if people got sick and died. The crazy thing is, they don't even seem to care if they mess things up so badly that the food system collapses altogether. In fact, it's looking like that's their goal.

Billionaires like Bill Gates and World Economic Forum companies like Bayer (Monsanto), have a plan:

Replace farms with fake foods.

If you think organic food's a luxury, wait until real food, especially meat, is reserved for the 1 percent and the rest of us are expected to subsist on lab-grown Soylent Green.

On September 20, Organic Consumers Association's Political Director Alexis Baden-Mayer talked about all of this with certified holistic nutritionist Jodi Suson of Suson Essentials on her Self-Cell Care Show which airs on Blog Talk Radio's the Female Solution.

Alexis and Jodi discussed the evolution of Frankenfoods since the introduction of Monsanto's first GMO, its recombinant bovine growth hormone. They reviewed Monsanto's "evil genius" plots to take over the food supply and came to a startling conclusion about where all of this is headed.

The technologies Monsanto used to force cows to over-produce milk, make crops to absorb herbicides or produce insecticides, and turn microorganisms like yeast into "living foundries" (to use the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA)'s term), are being turned on us.

As the President of Bayer’s Pharmaceuticals Division, Stefan Olerich, admitted at the World Health Summit in November 2021, if two years ago Bayer had asked people if they would have been willing to inject a gene or cell "therapy" (also known as "modification") into their bodies, there would have been a 95 percent refusal rate. The pandemic changed everything.

Bayer now has the means to hijack human cells to turn them into little factories that produce genetically engineered synthetic proteins. In the case of the COVID jabs, it's the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, but this method could be used for virtually anything.

DARPA describes it as "programming the fundamental metabolic processes of biological systems to generate a vast number of complex molecules that are not otherwise accessible."

President Joe Biden says the ultimate goal is to "predictably program biology in the same way in which we ... program computers."

We always thought the end game would be genetically engineered humans, but we never imagined they'd find a way to engineer adults via injections and self-spreading "vaccines".

This conversation was so hot it's already been censored from Google's YouTube. Catch it on Facebook while you can.

INTERVIEW

Organized Crime, the Deep State, COVID-19, and the Road Forward

Mercola.com writes:

“Whitney Webb’s new book, One Nation Under Blackmail: The Sordid Union Between Intelligence and Crime That Gave Rise to Jeffrey Epstein, provides the framework to understand not just the role and function of Epstein, but also, more broadly, the mess we’re now finding ourselves in.

Around the time of World War II, the intelligence community in the United States formalized its cooperation with organized crime syndicates in what was known as Operation Underworld, and the web of corruption grew from there.

Sexual blackmail was used by organized crime before U.S. intelligence even existed. As criminal factions and intelligence agencies developed a symbiotic relationship, blackmail became a tool to achieve their individual ends.

While it may appear as though organized crime is being combated, this is rarely ever the case. Stories of cracking down on organized crime are cover stories to hide what’s really happening, which is the consolidation of organized crime territory.

The incentive behind all this criminal activity is not merely the hoarding of money to live in the lap of luxury. It's about power and control over others. The good news is we can pull the plug on their plans…”

SECRET MILITARY HISTORY OF MONSANTO

Monsanto & MK-Ultra: An Interview with Dr. Peter Breggin

On September 27, we continue our Secret Military History of Monsanto series with an interview with Dr. Peter Breggin. You may know him as the author of COVID-19 and the Global Predators: We Are the Prey.

Did you know that he spent his career as a psychiatrist standing up for the victims of his profession?

Dr. Breggin is featured in the 2018 documentary, The Minds of Men, as an advocate for Leonard Kille, a victim of involuntary brain surgery.

The Scientific Engineering Institute, the CIA front group behind the scientists who implanted an electronic mind-control device in Leonard Kille's brain, morphed into Searle Medidata, a subsidiary of pharmaceutical giant G.D. Searle. Rumsfeld arranged the sale of the company to Monsanto in 1985.

This connects Monsanto to CIA director Allen Dulles’s Nazi-staffed MK-Ultra program.

And there’s a Bayer connection, too. The precursor to MK-Ultra, known as Artichoke, was run out of the CIA’s Camp King black-site near its post-war German headquarters at the I.G. Farben Building.

Tune in at 10 am Pacific/1 pm Eastern on Tuesday, September 27, for what promises to be a fascinating conversation with Dr. Peter Breggin.
