GMO monsters; Nanoparticles and Karl Rove…

by

Jill Richardson has this up at PR Watch.  Can anyone make sense of this?  The chemical/bioengineering industry is a monster running amok—make more toxic food that makes people, animals sick and poisons the atmosphere…

…so they can grow more food per acre.

I have a question:  if people are dying from the poison food and poison atmosphere, who is this serving?  Not us.

More from PR Watch on the propaganda of Monsanto, et al…

Good Grief. Nanoparticles are nothing to worry about??  Just a little benzene (one of the most toxic chemicals out there)  isn’t going to hurt…/snark

And the debate on sunscreens also questions their validity and necessity.

Natural News has a story here.

Finally there’s this story on Rove controlling the purse strings…the behind the scenes and under the radar guy.

Doublespeak

by

…is a word in Communications for when you’re talking in such a way that it seems you mean something when you really mean something else…

…such as this.

This is why I am upset that people who went to Obama fundraisers didn’t put that money towards a third party candidate–someone who will restore the Constitution, not sign anymore Free Trade agreements, not sign legislation that gives the top 1% tax breaks, push for livable wage, get us out of all conflicts, and will push for re-regulating banks and sustainable farming/regulating environmental polluters.  And what happened to our antitrust laws, again?

That’s the candidate I want…

Eating their own…

by

organic consumers has this up on the companies that mount million dollar efforts to destroy the right-to-know GMO in food products.

Why would these companies do this?  Because, as the article says, they can label GMO food as “natural”.  This translates to Big $$$ for them.  I know that they have done this in a national organic grocery store chain that has switched organic produce with conventionally grown produce and called it “organic”.  The unsuspecting public trusts them and there are no government inspectors keeping watch over them…at least, there aren’t to my knowledge…

That’s another reason to buy local from farmers or organic stores that you trust.  Know where your food comes from!

 

Urging kids to fight

by

This is just too unbelievable.  I cannot imagine the mindset of someone in charge of taking care of kids urging them to fight.

…big bullies creating little bullies…

…and they can’t figure out why bullying is epidemic?

Look to the adults who are acting badly.

And this is a cultural thing, not specific to any group, from where I sit.

Definition of rape

by

Well, I’m glad Senate hopeful Todd Akin has cleared up the definition of rape. /snark

See, it’s not *really* rape if she gets pregnant…

Sadly, there are too many of the R’s that believe this garbage.  Truly appalling that they don’t see women as human beings.  I’m left to wonder what category they place us in?  As a wise woman once said, rape is the only crime where the victim has to prove they didn’t want the crime to happen.

 

GMO backers

by

Grist also has this up on the companies who don’t want the public to know what’s in their food.

Again, I go back to the often used Bush-era phrase:  “If you have nothing to hide…”  Why would one object to the GMO labeling unless they know that the public is going to stop buying that trash food in droves when they realize it’s GMO?  Or perhaps they’re afraid that people will finally be able to link their health issues with GMO food–gut inflammation, allergies, skin rashes, lung issues, heart issues, etc.?
