SAVE ORGANIC STANDARDS

Big Corporations Threaten Organics: Real Organic is Fighting Back

To start off the new year on a positive note, I’ll be heading out to California for the 43rd annual Eco-Farm Conference. On January 17 there will be an important in-person (and livestream) gathering of organic leaders to discuss how “add on” organic plus certification and labels such as the Real Organic Project (and others such as Regenerative Organic Certified, Biodynamic/Demeter Organic, and Naturland) can enable consumers to find the brands and products that are truly organic.

Learn more about the Eco-Farm Conference (Jan. 17-21) and sign up for the Real Organic Project workshops on January 17, either in-person or online

COVID-19

Big Pharma Threatens Your Health

The disastrous official narrative and dictates of the COVID-19 cabal regarding its origins, nature, virulence, prevention, and treatment of SARS-CoV-2 is falling apart. Articles exposing the machinations of Big Pharma, Fauci, Gates et al. are starting to appear, even in a number of the peer-reviewed journals that were censored until now. Fabian Duruelle writes in Surgical Neurology International (SNI):

“The COVID-19 period highlights a huge problem that has been developing for decades, the control of science by industry. In the 1950s, the tobacco industry set the example, which the pharmaceutical industry followed. Since then, the latter has been regularly condemned for illegal marketing, misrepresentation of experimental results, dissimulation of information about the dangers of drugs, and considered as criminal. Therefore, this study was conducted to show that knowledge is powerfully manipulated by harmful corporations, whose goals are: 1/financial; 2/to suppress our ability to make choices to acquire global control of public health…

Since the beginning of COVID-19, we can list the following methods of information manipulation which have been used: falsified clinical trials and inaccessible data; fake or conflict-of-interest studies; concealment of vaccines’ short-term side effects and total lack of knowledge of the long-term effects of COVID-19 vaccination; doubtful composition of vaccines; inadequate testing methods; governments and international organizations under conflicts of interest; bribed physicians; the denigration of renowned scientists; the banning of all alternative effective treatments; unscientific and liberticidal social methods; government use of behavior modification and social engineering techniques to impose confinements, masks, and vaccine acceptance; scientific censorship by the media.”

GMO DAIRY

Got MilQ? Gene Engineers Move to Replace Dairy and Breast Milk

Dr. Mercola writes: “The globalist technocrats are intent on monopolizing the entire food supply. They already have a monopoly on genetically engineered (GE) grains and have made headway in GE seafood. The next targets are lab-grown meats and dairy substitutes. There’s even a lab-made breast milk alternative on the way called Biomilq, which is made from cultured breast tissue.

Another company, Helaina, aims to create glycoproteins “identical to those found in breast milk,” which can then be added to a variety of infant formulas. They may also be used in seniors’ nutrition and eventually, all sorts of foods.

Many familiar globalists are invested in these faux dairy ventures. Biomilq investors, for example, include Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Richard Branson, Masayoshi Son, Jack Ma, Michael Bloomberg and Marc Benioff.

The first Biomilq product is expected to be ready for the market within the next three to five years. Other animal-free milk products are expected to hit the shelves sometime between 2023 and 2024. That includes ice cream made with lab-grown diary, which will go into Ben & Jerry’s product line.

In the video link, longtime OCA ally Alan Lewis of the Natural Grocer reviews what goes into the making of synthetic biology. Synthetic biology goes by many names, including “gene edited fermentation” and “precision fermentation products.”

While that sounds fairly innocuous, synthetic biology manufacturers rarely ever discuss what goes into the feed they use to grow the target organism, or what happens to the waste at the end of the fermentation process. That’s understandable, as both raise a number of serious questions.”

The Latest Threats of Big Brother

In this video, OCA’s favorite political commentator, Russell Brand, answers the question:

“As governments globally are on the precipice of introducing digital IDs, do we need to worry that the same technology used to impede our freedom with vaccine passports will now be used to control every element of our lives? Spoiler alert… we do.”

What's Driving Netherlands' Plan to Shut Down 3,000 Farms?

Children’s Health Defense writes:

“The Dutch government said it plans to purchase and forcibly shut down up to 3,000 farms it deems “peak polluters” in order to cut ammonia and nitrous oxide emissions in half by 2030, as required by EU environmental regulations.

Parliamentarian Johan Remkes, who has been negotiating with farmers for the government, said farmers have options — they can drastically innovate farming practices, shift to a different type of business, relocate or voluntarily stop farming.

Christianne van der Wal-Zeggelink, minister for nature and nitrogen policy, said the government will offer to purchase farms at more than 100% of their value, but if voluntary efforts fail, farmers will face forced buyouts.

The announcement follows months of farmer protests across the country against climate policies they say will force them to kill off livestock and will drive them out of business — policies that some argue also will drive up consumer food prices and contribute to the global hunger crisis.

During the protests, Dutch citizens expressed strong support for the farmers, adorning their homes and cars with upside-down Dutch flags and declaring their support in polling last summer.

The protests were accompanied by strong support for a new pro-farmers party.

Farmers are furious that the government is offering more lenient regulations to other top industrial polluters, which include the businesses Tata Steel, Schiphol airport, refineries owned by Shell, BP and Esso, Dow chemicals and industrial companies such as Olam Cacoa and Cargill Cacoa, according to The Guardian.”

GlyphoWhat? The Daily Poisoning of Our Children

Michelle Perro writes for Regeneration Health International:

“Our children are consuming a daily dose of poison. Parents are unaware of the great harm befallen our most vulnerable. And for those parents who attempt to thwart the daily dose of poison, children consume it at school.

If you are awake and aware of the harm of glyphosate, the declared main ingredient in Roundup, now a household word thanks to the dissemination of toxic seeds by Monsanto-now-Bayer, skip on down to the “…So what do we do now?” section. If you need to be convinced, read on.

Monsanto’s product history includes DDT (think Rachel Carson and The Silent Spring), Agent Orange, GMOs, saccharin, PCBs, nuclear weapons, polystyrenes, aspartame, bovine growth hormone (rBGH), etc. Certainly healthy children did not make the Monsanto’s Who’s Who list.

Glyphosate facts:

•Nearly 1 lb of glyphosate for every person in the US is sprayed per year
•It’s water soluble, so our rain and groundwater are also contaminated
•It’s a patented antibiotic by Monsanto, killing off the beneficial microbes and promoting the growth of the pathogens
•It binds crucial biologically important metals, such as zinc, magnesium and manganese
•It’s used off-label as a crop desiccant (drying agent) which means at harvest, crops like oats, wheat and legumes take up whopping amounts of glyphosate
•Roundup-Ready crops are GMO and do not die when sprayed—that’s the only reason for the development of GMOs
•Once farmers get on the Monsanto/Bayer hamster wheel, it is difficult to get off

What you may not know is how the GMOs and their associated pesticides show up other than on the dinner plate. Gauze pads? Sanitary products? Infant formula? Yes, yes, and yes.”

DENTAL HEALTH WIN

American Dental Association Finally Moves Away from Amalgam (Mercury) Fillings

Mercola reports:

“In a stunning move made without fanfare or headlines, the American Dental Association (ADA) has retreated from its decades-long, steadfast support for (mercury-based) amalgam, aka ‘silver’ fillings in teeth.

The change in policy appeared in an updated, 2022 version of the ADA’s ‘Use of Amalgam as Restorative Material’ on its website. Significantly, the revised policy now says the ADA supports the globally recognized need to reduce environmental mercury as set forth in the Minamata Convention on Mercury (September 2019) as a common good, and recognizes the responsibility of dentists to care for their patients’ well-being …

Mercury is a heavy metal known to be poisonous to the human nervous system. Dental amalgam is a tooth filling material that is approximately 50% mercury. While it is recognized as a hazard to human health, many dentists still use amalgam despite having viable alternative filling materials for restorative procedures.

The Minamata Convention on Mercury is a global treaty to protect human health and the environment from the adverse effects of mercury. One of its goals is to end the use of amalgam worldwide.

In the past, the ADA has steadfastly refused to align with this goal, but the rewording of its policy shows that the ADA is taking the convention seriously. While they still haven’t outright conceded that amalgam is unsafe, the policy revision is stunning and encouraging, said Charlie Brown, national counsel for Consumers for Dental Choice. With your support, we can keep push out amalgam use entirely — for everyone.”

NATURAL HEALTH

National Survey Shows Strong Support for Natural Health

A new national poll from a coalition of organizations with an interest in natural health, conducted by the Marist Poll, shows that 70% of Americans are more likely to support a congressional candidate who will protect the public’s access to dietary supplements and other natural and homeopathic remedies. The Marist Poll, one of the first college-based public opinion polls in the United States, is highly respected, with an “A” rating from ABC News’ FiveThirtyEight. The poll can be viewed here.

“As the poll indicates, 61% of households use our products daily, and 75% use them at least monthly. The poll also shows overwhelming support for candidates for office who support access to these products. At a time when our industry is under attack at the state and federal level, data points like these demonstrate proposals to require pre-market approval or age restrict products are not mainstream,” said Daniel Fabricant, Ph.D. president and CEO of the Natural Products Association. “While our organizations have been successful in blocking these radical proposals, the job is not finished, and we look forward to our continued work taking our message directly to voters, ensuring elected officials know there will be consequences for not supporting the public’s access to our products.”

“The survey demonstrates that more and more Americans recognize the importance of dietary supplements and other natural options to maintain and regenerate their health,” says Gretchen DuBeau, Executive and Legal Director of the Alliance for Natural Health USA. “We hope Congress will listen to their constituents and support access to and information about these natural health options.”

“Americans are saying something very simple and clear about natural health: We want to have the choice,” says Paola Brown, President of Americans for Homeopathy Choice.

STOP WEAPONIZING PATHOGENS

"Gain-of-Function" is Euphemism for Bioweapons

Sam Husseini writes:

“Twitter CEO Elon Musk on Wednesday likened ‘Gain of Function’ lab work to the creation of bioweapons … Musk indicated that [President Barack] Obama put such work on pause, but that’s not really what happened. In 2014, Obama placed a pause on federal funding of such dangerous lab work. He didn’t actually put a stop to such work. Moreover, Obama allowed exemptions to this funding pause. One of the exemptions funded was work done jointly by U.S. scientists from the University of North Carolina, Harvard and the Wuhan Institute of Virology and may well have caused the Covid pandemic. This work — which had funding from USAID and EcoHealth Alliance not originally acknowledged — was published in 2015 in Nature Medicine.

Three years ago, many people thought biowarfare didn’t exist… That was wrong as I and others repeatedly argued. Now, the sensible thing is to end it. Musk and some Republicans could have in mind to, in the name of ‘transparency,’ acknowledge that it’s biowarfare, [but] have a corrupt WHO regulate it, and in the name of ‘honesty’ put it more openly under military control…”

My comment on Sam Husseini’s blog post: OCA agrees. We need to put an end to gain-of-function (i.e. “gain of threat”) experimentation, period. But let’s take advantage of the publicity that Musk and the new Republican-controlled House of Republicans will stir up in 2023 regarding putting an end to the insane practice of weaponizing viruses and pathogens. Let’s build an independent coalition to stop the next pandemic, before it starts.

GLOBALIZATION

Facebook as Fact, Government as Truth, Big Pharma as God

Colin Todhunter writes:

“If events since March 2020 have shown us anything, it is that fear is a powerful weapon for securing hegemony. Any government can manipulate fear about certain things while conveniently ignoring real dangers that a population faces.

Author and researcher Robert J Burrowes says:

‘…if we were seriously concerned about our world, the gravest and longest-standing health crisis on the planet is the one that starves to death 100,000 people each day. No panic about that, of course.’

No panic because the controlling interests of the global food system have long profited from a ‘stuffed and starved’ strategy that ensures people unnecessarily go hungry when corporate profit rather than need dictates policies.

US social commentator Walter Lippmann once said that ‘responsible men’ make decisions and must be protected from the ‘bewildered herd’ – the public. He added that the public should be subdued, obedient and distracted from what is really happening. Screaming patriotic slogans and fearing for their lives, they should be admiring with awe leaders who save them from destruction.

During COVID, Prime Minister of New Zealand Jacinda Ardern urged citizens to trust the government and its agencies for all information and stated:

‘Otherwise, dismiss anything else. We will continue to be your single source of truth.’

In the US, Fauci presented himself as ‘the science’. In New Zealand, Ardern was ‘the truth’. It was similar in countries across the world – different figures but the same approach…”

NEXT PANDEMIC

Bill Gates’s Plan for a New Catastrophic Contagion

Mercola reports:

“Over time, it’s become clear that the globalist cabal seeking to implement a one world government repeatedly tell us what they’re about to do. Table top pandemic simulations, for example, are a form of dress rehearsal.

In 2017, Johns Hopkins Center of Health Security held a coronavirus pandemic simulation called the SPARS Pandemic 2025-2028 scenario. In October 2019, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation in collaboration with Johns Hopkins and the World Economic Forum hosted Event 201.

As in the SPARS Pandemic scenario, Event 201 involved an outbreak of a highly infectious coronavirus, but the primary (if not sole) focus of the exercise was how to control information and keep “misinformation” in check, not how to effectively discover and share remedies.

October 23, 2022, Gates, Johns Hopkins and the World Health Organization cohosted “a global challenge exercise” dubbed “Catastrophic Contagion,” involving a novel pathogen called “severe epidemic enterovirus respiratory syndrome 2025” (SEERS-25), which primarily affects children and teens.

Enterovirus D68 is typically associated with cold and flu-like illness in infants, children and teens. In rare cases, it’s also been known to cause viral meningitis and acute flaccid myelitis, a neurological condition resulting in muscle weakness and loss of reflexes. The virus they modeled in the Catastrophic Contagion simulation appears to be something similar to enterovirus D68, but worse…”
