Fort Wayne is on Fire
Another police shooting—the fourth in four months–of a Fort Wayne citizen: indianasnewscenter.com/news/local/Mayor-Henry-on-205796441.html
This isn’t even counting the ones shooting each other. You know it’s bad when California sits up and takes notice….as they did with the third shooting just a few days ago…
The news reported that the latest shooter “should not have had access to a gun with his prior history…” It left out the details about why this person should not have had a gun….but since he claimed to be Jesus and just randomly started shooting people (rather than a specific target), I would guess mental issues. And yes, I would wonder about the chem trails and the toxic environment of FW–they had terrible air quality last year on many, many days. And this shows air quality is once again questionable. All I can say is that I notice a change in people’s behavior when there has been heavy chem trail spraying and when the air quality is already bad. I know that when I tried jogging in the A.M. on bad air quality days, I started wheezing afterwards. Not good.
Here’s another map showing particulate matter as being moderately high. This is not good, either, as particulate is known to be the cause for health conditions–scientists just don’t know how it affects health, only that it does affect heart, lungs, and brain health.
FDA drops the ball…so what else is new?
(As I first started reading this, I thought of a pun with the title: “Something’s fishy” but PR Watch beat me to it in their write up. Heh.)
(So…I’ll have to settle for the boring title of FDA drops the ball…so what else is new?)
Note in the comments section the paid flack who attacks the article not based on facts, but wild accusations….um-hmmm…
There are a million souls who do not want frankenfish. (and probably millions more would be protesting if they only knew what was going on) .
What does it take for American citizens to be heard? And why is this garbage science of Genetically Modified organisms released without a) thorough testing by independent research labs with no financial/political gain; b) without follow-up by independent research to investigate the damage that they have caused; and c) why isn’t the entire ecological system considered when making these decisions…?
Finding good food
This website makes it easier in finding organic and sustainable farms. However, I would caution you that just because someone claims to be organic doesn’t necessarily mean they have their hearts in it. I know of at least one farm listed here that they were burning asphalt roof tiles, along with plastics and other stuff that you shouldn’t…a half – block away from the organic fields. They also sprayed weedkiller on gravel that was next to the growing field. Yep. That’s not something someone casually shopping would know….so it helps to know the folks you’re dealing with or someone who works for them, but this website is a good start.
I’ve tried to go online to look for local free range egg farmers, but came up empty. There was one website that was called “farmer’s friend, but there was nothing even in Allen County (FW), where I knew they had free range eggs….<sigh>…it doesn’t do one a whole lot of good if you’re not going to put information on the website for customers.
Hope this helps anyone looking for locally grown food.
Your community score card
I found this website that informs the public of the toxins in their area and who is doing the polluting. A good resource to see what’s happening in your area and the pollution around you that is likely responsible for health issues. (hat tip to Rodale website).

The rains
Traveling across the state, I think I am safe to say I think our drought is over. There is standing water from East to West with many formerly dry creeks now flowing with water. Bless the rains. 🙂
More on Thatcher
After reading this, I wanted to come back and comment on the fact that she had dementia. Reagan did, too.
Does anyone else wonder at this? What about heavy metal poisoning for the cause? Could the meanness of the world be caused by toxicity? We know it’s a known fact of mercury poisoning that anger and rage come with it. The Mayo Clinic’s site on dementia–note that heavy metal poisoning is way down on the list. It mentions low thyroid, which is good, but depressingly doesn’t mention diet.
More here from someone who recovered from dementia after adopting a gluten-free diet.
Finally, here’s a report on the connection between criminal behavior and high levels of heavy metals. So much grief caused by toxins…and yet, it’s ignored by the medical profession, the corrections system, the public, etc….
Fiore on oil
Mark Fiore has a (not so) comical view on the pipelines that create *thousands* of jobs and don’t pollute our land…/snark
…so when they’ve polluted land too much land that wipes out good farm land and the wildlife/plants that help our orchestra of an eco system….will that be enough in profits, yet…?
Genetics and corporations
Well, if we had any doubt at all, it is true that corporations actually think they own us. Literally.
What seems like a no-brainer–that you can’t own something you didn’t personally create, as in human beings–somehow becomes less clear once money is involved.
So, because someone wants to make a buck, the human body is patentable?
If that is so….and corporations own my body….who can I sue for being heavy metal poisoned??
