REGENERATION
Beyond Gloom and DoomLike most of you, we at OCA and Regeneration International are sick and tired of gloom and doom, false promises, and authoritarian/technocratic schemes. We’ve had enough of the mad science, genetic engineering, war-mongering, fear-mongering, political corruption, corporate greed, cancel culture, and media censorship. We’re done with name-calling and yelling at one another instead of sitting down and figuring out how we, the 99%, can move forward on real solutions for the U.S. and the world’s most pressing and dangerous crises—while agreeing to disagree on many of the secondary issues that will likely still divide us for the foreseeable future. For a start let’s stop pontificating and arguing in the abstract about our current environmental and climate crisis. We’re not going to completely abolish fossil fuel use in the time frame we have left to avoid runaway global warming. However, there is a practical, shovel-ready way to not only mitigate the climate crisis, and restore our polluted environment, but also to improve most working class and rural people’s livelihoods and actually reverse global warming. Our prescribed cure for the climate crisis is to combine organic and regenerative food, farming, and land-use with a gradual but steady movement toward alternative sources of energy and energy conservation. We don’t need fossil fuels and atomic energy in the long run, but it’s going to take us a while (10-20 years) to phase them out. Regenerative and organic food, farming, and land use, as we’ve seen from our organizing over the past decade, have a very broad appeal. Regenerative practices, properly framed, can appeal to farmers, ranchers, and consumers; (most) Republicans, Democrats, Greens, and Independents; urban and rural conservationists; young climate and food activists; and even ethically-minded businesses and investors.

Here’s the last chapter in Ronnie's recent book, Grassroots Rising, where Ronnie outlines a populist roadmap for 2020-2030, designed to reverse the climate crisis and revitalize American democracy. Here’s a recent essay where Ronnie talks about how we can fund this Regeneration Revolution.

APPETITE FOR A CHANGE
Healthy Food is a Populist IssueNearly everyone is concerned nowadays about healthy food for themselves and their families. The recent surge in demand for organic food, natural health supplements, and home-cooking during the pandemic, are certainly not partisan trends. Increasing numbers of Republicans and Democrats, as well as Independents, are becoming organic consumers, that is if they can afford to buy organics, given the increasing high costs of living (housing, transportation, health care, education, taxes) in the U.S. In this regard, putting more money in ordinary people’s pockets, fighting for economic justice and supporting working class struggles are one way that we can make organic food more affordable for everyone, not just the middle-class. Another populist issue that can unite us as a nation is to stop allowing the government to use our tax dollars to subsidize corporate agribusiness and Big Food. Instead we need to unite a critical mass to make organic and healthy food, produced by family farmers, ranchers, and small businesses available for everyone, including lower-income/working class communities and students at school. OCA believes that the overwhelming majority of Americans can come together to transform our food and farming system in a way that not only improves our health and the health of the environment, but also unites us politically, urban and rural, farmer and consumer. But one thing people need to be reminded of, over and over again, is that Corporate America’s government-subsidized, processed food, which makes up 60% or more of the average American diet, and most of the food served up in restaurants and institutional cafeterias, is killing us.

GATES WATCH
Bill Gates and His “Red Meat Witch Hunt”OCA believes that vegetarians, ethical-minded carnivores, and environmentalists can come together with family farmers and ranchers to expose the health, environmental, and ethical hazards of factory farms and genetically engineered meat and animal products, and make regenerative food and farming, land stewardship, and humane animal husbandry the norm, rather than just the alternative. Bill Gates and his Great Reset buddies think that it’s fine to genetically engineer, not only viruses, pathogens and drugs, but humans, animals, and our foods as well. Here’s what our close ally, Rob Verkerk, from the International Alliance for Natural Health, has to say about Bill Gates and his “Red Meat Witch Hunt.”

PLANTING PEACE
A Populist Solution to the War in the UkraineI am proud to call myself a populist. 21st Century populists need to become more vocal in our opposition to war, militarism, nuclear and biological weapons, and all forms of imperialism. No one really wants war, outside of the military-industrial complex, but the mass media and Congress have yet once again whipped up the body politic, Republican and Democrats, conservatives and “progressives” alike, into a frenzy. Hopefully you watched the recent Oliver Stone movie, Ukraine in Flames, which we recommended in last week’s Organic Bytes. After watching Stone’s movie, please listen to this 34-minute audio podcast with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and investigative reporter Whitney Webb. In this interview you can learn more about the CIA/Deep State role in the war in the Ukraine, the standoff between the global superpowers, and where, as anti-war populists, we can go from here.

HEALTH ISSUES
How to Detox from the Engineered COVID Spike ProteinMost Americans have now had a direct encounter with lab engineered virus spike proteins, whether from being infected with COVID, injected with an experimental “gene transfer” mRNA “vaccine,” or both. Millions are still suffering from the “long haul” side effects of the virus or the “Emergency Use,” rushed to market “vaccines.” OCA’s favorite doctor, Joseph Mercola, has some advice for those of us hoping to detox from our recent encounters with engineered spike proteins, whether voluntary or involuntary. As Mercola points out: “If you had COVID-19 or received a COVID-19 injection, you may have dangerous spike proteins circulating in your body. Spike proteins can circulate in your body after infection or injection, causing damage to cells, tissues and organs. The World Council for Health has released a spike protein detox guide, which provides straightforward steps you can take to potentially lessen the effects of toxic spike protein in your body. Spike protein inhibitors and neutralizers include pine needles, ivermectin, neem, N-acetylcysteine (NAC) and glutathione. The top 10 spike protein detox essentials include vitamin D, vitamin C, nigella seed, quercetin, zinc, curcumin, milk thistle extract, NAC, ivermectin and magnesium.” Learn more: How to Detox Spike Protein After COVID or Vaccine

GAIN-OF-FUNCTION
Stop the Next Pandemic Before It StartsAbsent from most of the day-to-day mainstream coverage of COVID-related issues is the life-or-death conversation we should be having: How do we make sure that this—or something much worse—never happens again? On that question, there should be no debate: It’s time to end the reckless genetic engineering and weaponizing of pathogenic viruses and organisms, carried out under the guise of “biomedicine” and “biodefense,” by demanding an immediate and total global ban on all gain-of-function research. Please Sign Here and Circulate our Petition to Stop Weaponizing Pathogens
