REAL FARMS, NOT FAKE FOOD

The Onslaught of Genetic Engineering 2.0

Over the past 30 years OCA and our allies across the world have fought hard against gene-spliced GMO foods and crops and the toxic pesticides and chemicals that always accompany them, exposing their dangers, limiting their market share, and in some countries bringing about mandatory bans (Mexico) and/or labeling and safety-testing (USA and Europe).

But now Bill Gates, the gene-engineers, the World Economic Forum, and the Davos “Great Reset” technocrats and authoritarians, the folks who anticipated and profited off of COVID and the lockdowns, have a bold new plan to shove down our throats: get rid of animal agriculture, ranching, and small farms entirely. Make lab-engineered fake meat, fake milk, and fake cheese the new normal. Pretend they’re not genetically engineered and therefore they don’t have to be properly safety-tested and labeled. Divide and conquer vegans and carnivores, urban consumers and rural communities. Drive into bankruptcy and off the land the billion ranchers, small farmers, and herdsmen/women around the world, who depend on raising animals and livestock for their survival.

ENVIRONMENT AND POLITICS

How to Fight the Drought and Save California & Southwestern Farmlands Despite a Deadlocked Congress

Noted economist and visionary Ellen Brown lays out a plan for how America can fight the unprecedented drought and water crisis and regenerate parched farmlands and rangelands in the arid and semi-arid regions of California and the Southwest, drawing lessons from government infrastructure programs during the Great Depression, that can be carried out without increasing the budget deficit and bypassing a hopelessly deadlocked Congress.

As Brown explains:

“Congress has passed two major infrastructure bills in the last year, but imminent needs in infrastructure funding remain. The 2021 Bipartisan Infrastructure Law chiefly focused on conventional highway programs, and the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA) mainly centered on energy security and combating climate change. According to the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), over $2 trillion in much-needed infrastructure is still unfunded, including projects to address drought, affordable housing, high-speed rail, and power transmission lines.”

INTERVIEW

What Could Go Wrong?

The Organic Consumers Association's Political Director, Alexis Baden-Mayer, will be hosting a live interview with Jeffrey Smith on Tuesday, September 13, at 1:00 p.m. Central. They will be discussing the startling new technology behind "GMO 2.0."

Monsanto's first genetically modified organism was a synthetic growth hormone engineered to make cows over-produce milk. It went on to stuff the human diet with vegetable oils, sweeteners and grains that had been engineered to absorb herbicides or produce insecticides.

Since merging with Bayer, the company has vowed to go much further, replacing animal products with lab-grown synthetics and restructuring soil biology with synthetic microbes.

Bayer is taking the GMO technologies developed in agriculture, combining them with advances in big data, artificial intelligence, the internet of things and wearable tech, and applying them to the health care sector, as well as food.

Why stop with fake meat when you can use genetically engineered pigs to grow new organs for people who need transplants?

The first wave of GMOs exposed us and our environment to more pesticides than ever, triggering an epidemic of diseases linked to pesticide poisoning.

What can we expect from GMO 2.0?

Find out in this conversation with Jeffrey Smith of the Institute for Responsible Technology on Tuesday, September 13, at 1 p.m. Central.

How “Modern” Medicine Fails to Protect Children's Health

Nate Doromal writes:

“Attention, parents, family members, and concerned citizens! Children's health is getting worse. And it has been doing so for decades.

While the COVID-19 pandemic brought about widespread changes, forcing us to reexamine our lives and values in the wake of the crisis, it also brought widespread examination and criticism of our medical systems.

Medicine has heralded the need for intervention to protect children from COVID. However, despite the startlingly low risk of COVID for children (akin to the risk of being struck by lightning) and the harmful health effects of masking a child, the CDC pushed a policy for masking children in schools, an approach that The Atlantic criticized as flawed and based on shaky science.

Now health authorities are pushing the COVID vaccines for children despite the questionable risk benefits to a demographic that has never been at risk for COVID while downplaying potential hazards such as myocarditis.

Despite the fear-mongering from the media, infectious diseases, including COVID, are not the foremost health concerns for children. A look at the top ten causes of childhood mortality reveals the top three medically-related conditions are cancer, congenital anomalies, and heart disease. The British Medical Journal (BMJ) stated in 2016 that "the primary burden of disease in children and young people has shifted from infectious diseases towards chronic conditions…"

What Can You Do:

Use a water filter at home that can filter out PFAS and PCBs from your drinking water. There are standalone units like the Berkey water filter and under-the-sink units like Hydroviv.

Immediately shift your food purchases and consumption towards more organic foods. According to studies, this can lessen the burden of pesticides on your body.

Purchase an air purifier that can filter out volatile organic compounds. These are human-made compounds emitted as gasses from products in your home.

Get on an exercise program. Increased sweating, breathing, and blood circulation will increase the body's detoxification ability.

Reduce your exposure to processed foods and start eating more unprocessed, fresh, and organic foods. Processed foods have more additives and food chemicals in them. A recent study from Brazil found an association between processed food consumption and the rate of cognitive decline.

Eat more foods that can aid your body's detoxification capabilities, such as leafy greens, apples, beets, turmeric, and ginger.

Practice intermittent fasting. This practice has been shown to aid in detoxification and boost your brainpower.

Audit your home and environment for products that contain suspicious chemicals. Toss these products and find more natural replacements.

Share this info with your friends, family, and clinicians. We need to make the topic of food and environmental toxicity better known!

Encourage your local and state politicians to take action against the spread of these harmful chemicals, especially the rampant spraying of glyphosate in public areas.”

Monsanto’s Smear Merchant: The Genetic Literacy Project

Google has manipulated its search engine so that when you sign up for a Google Alert on the “Organic Consumers Association” what you get instead every day is a link to the Genetic Literacy Project—lying, slandering, and smearing the OCA and our allies. We’ve complained, but of course Google has done nothing. Truth is, Google loves Frankenfoods, chemical and energy-intensive agriculture, and experimental gene-therapy “vaccines.”

GM Watch reports:

“Recently the Genetic Literacy Project has been heavily targeting critics of the herbicide Roundup, now owned by Bayer, with a barrage of articles, podcasts, and tweets, in which the controversial University of Florida scientist Kevin Folta has been much to the fore.

It all started when the Guardian published a piece by the award-winning journalist Carey Gillam on a CDC study showing the prevalence in urine samples in the US of Roundup’s controversial active ingredient glyphosate, which has been linked to cancer.

Kevin Folta led the charge for the GLP with a piece that labelled the Guardian article the latest example of ‘yellow journalism’ (i.e. lurid, sensationalist reporting), not to mention ‘deceptive journalism,’ by “scientifically illiterate journalists.’ Folta then gave over a further three paragraphs to attacking Gillam personally and outlining his version of her ‘ethically questionable history.’ This somehow failed to mention that, among other things, she won a Society of Environmental Journalists’ book award or that her former colleagues at Reuters say she is ‘an exceptional journalist’ who produces ‘impeccably reported’ stories.”

MASS FORMATION

The Psychology of Totalitarianism

Throughout the COVID crisis, Big Pharma and the mass media, aided and abetted by opportunistic and corrupt politicians, vaccine profiteers, and health officials, have indulged in what can only be described as organized fear-mongering, spreading mass panic, mass psychosis, and hatred among a critical mass of the body politic already suffering from social isolation, free-floating anxiety, and pent-up anger. This psychological plague, a fundamental ingredient in the onset of totalitarian rule, has been dubbed “Mass Formation” by noted Belgian psychologist Mattias Desmet.

Desmet writes:

“[A] new totalitarianism is emerging in our society. Not a communist or fascist totalitarianism but a technocratic totalitarianism. A kind of totalitarianism that is not led by ‘a gang leader’ such as Stalin or Hitler but by dull bureaucrats and technocrats. As always, a certain part of the population will resist and won’t fall prey to the mass formation. If this part of the population makes the right choices, it will ultimately be victorious. If it makes the wrong choices, it will perish…

The coronavirus crisis did not come out of the blue. It fits into a series of increasingly desperate and self-destructive societal responses to objects of fear: terrorists, global warming, coronavirus. Whenever a new object of fear arises in society, there is only one response: increased control. Meanwhile, human beings can only tolerate a certain amount of control. Coercive control leads to fear and fear leads to more coercive control. In this way, society falls victim to a vicious cycle that leads inevitably to totalitarianism (i.e., extreme government control) and ends in the radical destruction of both the psychological and physical integrity of human beings.

We have to consider the current fear and psychological discomfort to be a problem in itself, a problem that cannot be reduced to a virus or any other ‘object of threat.’ Our fear originates on a completely different level—that of the failure of the Grand Narrative of our society. This is the narrative of mechanistic science, in which man is reduced to a biological organism. A narrative that ignores the psychological, spiritual, and ethical dimensions of human beings and thereby has a devastating effect at the level of human relationships.

Something in this narrative causes man to become isolated from his fellow man, and from nature. Something in it causes man to stop resonating with the world around him. Something in it turns human beings into atomized subjects. It is precisely this atomized subject that, according to Hannah Arendt, is the elementary building block of the totalitarian state…”

Monsanto/Bayer Declares War on the 30,000 Roundup Cancer Victims Who Are Suing Them

Carey Gilliam writes:

“Monsanto owner Bayer AG is rejecting a proposed ‘global resolution plan’ put forward by plaintiffs’ lawyers as a last chance to try to settle tens of thousands of pending Roundup cancer claims before a wave of new trials get underway, newly filed court documents show.

The company stance comes at a pivotal point in the ongoing nationwide litigation involving plaintiffs who allege they developed non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) from exposure to Monsanto’s glyphosate-based weed killers, such as Roundup.

The group of law firms leading the cases in what is called ‘multidistrict litigation (MDL)’ asked US District Court Judge Vince Chhabria to approve a plan that would set a 60-day window in which both sides would try to forge a final global settlement that would cover the claims of roughly 30,000 plaintiffs.”

But Monsanto’s lawyers are digging in their heels, still claiming that Roundup and glyphosate are perfectly safe, and that 30,000+ victims and their lawyers are lying.

RUSSELL BRAND

Were the Lockdowns, Mandates, and Vaccine Passports Weaponized to Consolidate Establishment Power and Crush Dissent?

Russell Brand reports:

“What impact did COVID lockdowns have in countering the global uprisings of 2018 and 2019… with protests again occurring across the world, did the restrictions only delay the inevitable? I spoke with Max Blumenthal from The Grayzone … about government reposes to the pandemic and the opportunities it presented them.”
