COVID-19

Driving SARS-CoV-2 Extinct

illustrative renderings of covid-19 viruses travelling

Brett Weinstein and Heather Heying from Darkhorse Podcast: 

“We are at a crossroads. There is a deadly virus circulating and out of control. Many have died, and many more certainly will. 

We can choose to use all available tools to eradicate this virus, or we can allow it to become a permanent fellow traveler, endemic to humanity… Some have argued that it is already too late… but we have yet to see a compelling argument to support this belief, and until such a case is made we, together, are morally obligated to pursue the eradication of COVID-19.”

REGENERATION

Drawing Down CO2 and Greening the Desert

OCA’s sister organization in Mexico, Via Organica, is working with Hudson Carbon of New York and small farmers and ranchers in the arid and semi-arid regions of Mexico to deploy, on a massive scale, an organic and regenerative agave/mesquite agroforestry and livestock management system called Agave Power.

This system, utilizing indigenous wisdom and native plants and trees, produces massive amounts (up to 40 tons per acre) of inexpensive and nutritious fermented animal feed (silage). 

At the same time this system delivers a range of other important eco-system services (rainwater retention, soil fertility, biodiversity, wildlife and pollinator habitat) that are crucial for degraded dryland pasture and rangelands. 

This agave/mesquite agroforestry system can draw down massive amounts of excess atmospheric CO2 (up to 100 tons of CO2 per acre averaged out over 10 years) storing this carbon above ground and below ground. 

OCA and Regeneration International are also working together with the Hudson Carbon Project. We are not only partnering in Mexico on the nationwide Billion Agave Project, but also in the U.S., highlighting organic and regenerative “best practices” and developing techniques that can measure, efficiently and accurately, soil carbon sequestration, CO2, nitrous oxide, and methane emissions, and other forms of eco-system restoration as well.

GAIN-OF-FUNCTION

Banning Engineered Viruses and Pathogens



As Children’s Health Defense reminds us: 

“The 1972 Biological Weapons Convention prohibited bioengineering pathogens to create biological weapons, but because nations have been unable to agree on how to strengthen the treaty, some countries are still doing the research and stockpiling bioweapons.” 

Unfortunately, a preponderance of evidence indicates that one of these engineered pathogens, SARS-CoV-2, a joint project of US and Chinese scientists, was released in 2019 (either accidentally or deliberately) from a poorly regulated, accident-prone virology lab in Wuhan, China, setting off the COVID-19 pandemic.

We are stepping up our campaign to ban the dangerous engineering of viruses, bacteria, insects, and pathogens (euphemistically called “Gain-of-Function” research) to make them more contagious and virulent. 

Genetic engineering applied to pathogens is, in reality, the science of creating illegal bioweapons. This insanely dangerous, but financially lucrative research is being carried out by an international network of scientists, gene engineers, and military contractors. 

It’s time to stop the microbe madness. It’s time to prioritize human survival over partisan politics and superpower rivalries. It’s time to implement mandatory global inspections (like we have for nuclear weapons), and mandatory, draconian penalties for violations. 

This is the way, and likely the only way, we can stop the next pandemic, before it starts.

HALL OF SHAME

More on Stopping Mad Science

Why are we allowing virologists, genetic engineers, and military contractors to create new deadly pathogens in what are basically unregulated, accident-prone labs, especially with evidence mounting that the current pandemic was caused by a lab escape or release? 

As the world still struggles with COVID-19, scientists are routinely collecting and lab engineering other viruses and bacteria that could trigger future pandemics. Not only are they studying these pathogens to see if and when they could naturally present a risk, they are using genetic engineering, animal passaging, and other methods to create new variants that would help them realize their pandemic potential.

SUPPORT OCA & CRL

Three for Three

Over the past week hundreds of you have sent in donations to the OCA, responding to our August Triple Match Fundraising Appeal. We thank you so much for your support!

We are raising money, not only for our regular, ongoing campaigns, but for three new projects:

(1) A Global 24-hour People’s Food Summit on World Food Day October 16, broadcast across all six time zones of the world, promoting organic and regenerative practices, followed by ongoing, regular, mass-audience video podcasts on every continent.  

(2) A U.S. and Global Campaign to Ban the Engineering of Viruses, Bacteria, and all Potential Pandemic Pathogens so that we can bring to justice the perpetrators of COVID-19, and stop future lab-release pandemics before they start.

(3) A Food as Medicine Campaign to make local organic and regenerative food the norm in all schools and nursing homes, as well as providing healthy organic food to recipients of Medicare, Medicaid, and food stamps.

Three of OCA’s major donors have pledged to match every dollar that you give us over the month of August. 

Our future efforts depend upon your support.

​Make a tax-deductible donation to Organic Consumers Association, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit

Support Citizens Regeneration Lobby, OCA’s 501(c)(4) lobbying arm (not tax-deductible)

Donate $100 or more and we’ll send you a copy of Ronnie’s 2020 book, Grassroots Rising or a copy of Ronnie's new book, co-authored with Dr. Mercola, The Truth About COVID-19
