Dr. Mercola reports:

“In January 2022, House Oversight Committee Republicans released a batch of emails sent to and from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit brought by Jimmy Tobias at The Intercept also forced the release of unredacted NIH correspondence.

The emails reveal there was great concern among NIH leadership, as SARS-CoV-2 appeared to be a genetically engineered virus that somehow escaped from the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) in China.

The emails show they were nervous about the possibility that they’d funded the creation of this virus, and that they were determined to suppress questions about its origin.

A group of scientists convened by Dr. Jeremy Farrar, director of the Wellcome Trust, published a paper in which they claimed the virus was decidedly not the result of intentional engineering. They did admit accidental creation in a lab could not be ruled out, but that natural evolution was the most likely scenario. Some of these same scientists had previously shared details indicative of genetic engineering in emails to Fauci.

The ‘Proximal Origin’ paper, which was edited by Fauci and ‘debunked’ the lab leak theory without any evidence, became the most-read published paper in history. More than 2,000 media outlets have cited it to support their propaganda.”

Whether we’re talking about weaponizing viruses, bacteria, and insects in secretive, accident-prone labs, funded for “dual-use” by the military and Big Pharma; or untested and dangerous genetically engineered rushed to market “vaccines;” or unlabeled and hazardous genetically engineered foods such as the new generation of fake meat and fake dairy products, OCA has your back. We remain committed, as always, to exposing the dangers of Frankenfoods, Frankendrugs, endless war (and biowarfare), and environmental destruction, while planting the seeds of peace, participatory democracy, natural health, and organic and regenerative food and farming.

Gavin Mounsey writes in Substack:

“If you have been paying attention to the world of finance, industrial agriculture supply line fragility, nefarious government policies (being rolled out under the guise of “sustainability”), pharmaceutical cartels schemes, soil erosion rates and the activities of the most wealthy people on Earth over the past few years, you will know very well that we have some challenging times ahead.

With all that being said, this does not mean we should begin this new year without hope or in a fearful way…

Now is the time to reaffirm our alliances with the living Earth, to nurture new symbiotic relationships with the soil, people, plants and fungi in our local communities. Human empires rise and fall, and history teaches us that when they fall, it is those that know how to grow/forage for their own food, medicine and preserve it, that survived.”

GM Watch reports:

“The European Patent Office (EPO) has revoked a European Union (EU) patent held by Impossible Foods, maker of the Impossible Burger.

In the U.S., Impossible’s fake meat products are manufactured with GMO yeast-derived soy leghemoglobin, a controversial ingredient that makes the fake meat look as if it’s bleeding, like undercooked real meat, and that we have argued may not be safe to eat… The news about Impossible’s patent fights comes in the wake of an article by Bloomberg describing the rapid decline in the fake meat industry, which it branded ‘a flop.’ The article is titled, ‘Fake meat was supposed to save the world. It became just another fad.’

Impossible shares, the article said, are currently trading at around $12 — about half the price during its last fundraising round.

And more recently Bloomberg has reported that Impossible is preparing to lay off about 20% of its staff, following another round of cuts in October when about 6% of its staff got laid off. The latest patent wars will only add to the industry’s woes.”
