Oklahoma earthquakes and fossil fuel wastewater

I suspected this all along.

Also–someone posted this link in the comments section on the Top 10 ingredients used in fracking.  You might recall that Nurse Cathy Behr was made ill when coming in contact with these toxins!

Another state joins in GMO food labeling

….but there’s one little issue–getting four other states to also require GMO labeling.  Nice way to get the GMO labeling crowd off your back while appearing to actually do something. 

Tell the USDA No GMO apples

organic consumers has this up on the latest nonsensical bioengineered frankenfood product…

…because it makes soooo much sense to bioengineer an apple not to turn brown…

Anybody else have deja vu about Alar??

From the story:

But in 2005, the last year results were available, the U.S. Department of Agriculture found pesticide residues on 98 percent of the apples it tested. All the residue was at levels within federal guidelines.

~~~~~~~~

Yum.

The problem with reports like this is that they try to say the Alar scare was over the top and scaring people needlessly….when they should be scaring people because we’re living in a toxic soup.  This has to be part of the reason people are so apathetic towards chemicals being used in their homes, their workplaces, their food, their water, their soil, and their air….

<sigh>

Staley, Farmer’s Advocate

I found this while looking up farmers for the previous blog.  I thought it was a great historical piece.  He died in 1988….seems like yesterday, but now 25 years past.

Now the only ones with power are Big Ag factory farms.  Why is it that we have no enforcement of antitrust laws??  Can someone tell me?

The History of Land Grabs

This post by Gene Logsdon is powerful.  It’s personal, too, as I thought of losing my home and how devastating that was…

Logsdon mentions the Deserted Village by Oliver Goldsmith; I couldn’t find the exact author Logsdon mentions for the Highland Clearances, but I found this and this that seem to be the same subject.

It was stunning to read Logsdon’s piece on it and how often this has been used as a tool for the wealthy to grab even more for themselves.  I thought back to the years I was growing up and how farmers were portrayed as backwards, slow, less sophisticated…and now I wonder at this being planned..

Feminist scholars made  a connection between the Puritan Salem witch hunts and wealth.  They stated that the women who were hanged were either poor which means low regard in the community, or they were single wealthy women whom owned land.  This was significant then because women could not outright own land–they had to inherit it from their fathers or husbands.  So the women owning land were a huge threat to the status quo.  Land means power…and it came with rights not afforded to the ones without land.

Also, there was a prejudice against the single status of the wealthy women, because women who were married and wealthy were able to escape the noose….while the single ones were not.

The portrayal of farmers as hayseeds, something to look down upon reminded me of what they did with the women after World War II. (as a side note~ I found this amusing blog on the war propaganda.)  It’s really stunning how much public opinion can be swayed against our better instincts and interests.  One of the things I have read from the Depression survivors is that they didn’t go hungry because many were still in the country and could raise their own food.  Now we’re “citified” and don’t have the resources to raise our own food….thereby more dependent on the food stamp program.  Ironic, isn’t it??

In addition, I have to wonder at the web of how much this has contributed to climate change–not only adding more toxins to the environment by industry, but by cutting us off from the land–harder to see how we are destroying the environment when we don’t feel as connected to it, eh?

Shrimp season canceled

According to this report, the shrimp season has been canceled due to warmer than normal waters.    And then I wonder how many other fish have been affected…especially those that eat shrimp in their diet.

The comments were sobering, of course:

Its like watching a disaster movie in super slow motion.

Yep.

Documentary on Chem trails

Well, this is the most documented film on chemtrails that I’ve seen to date.  Lots of stuff to digest…if the nausea from sick feeling doesn’t get you first…

It’s the first segment of seven, so you’ll have to click on the rest at the site.  I recommend clicking on the youtube link to upload the others, as it seems there is a problem with the sound.

In video #3– the woman senator brings up the skyrocketing numbers of Alzheimers and the link to aluminum.  She mentioned the theory that people who drank a lot of soda pop from aluminum cans became ill with alzheimer’s.  She said her father had alzheimers and never drank soda pop.  My Mom didn’t either.   It was always a gripe of mine that my father was adamant against junk food and he never allowed pop in the house when we were growing up (but now I am thankful for his wisdom).

AND–this is a big AND–pop didn’t come in aluminum cans until later–it was manufactured with glass bottles in the 70s and I think early 80s.  If this theory is the case, then why are the pop manufacturers still allowed to use aluminum cans?? If it were true, why wouldn’t aluminum cans be banned?  For that matter, why is plastic still allowed to be used by food manufacturers when it is known that plastics disrupt the endocrine system and cause cancer?

You know, as I am listening to her talk, with the accumulation of aluminum in the brain cells over time, it pops into my head that it was the early 90s that Hughes Aircraft got the patent for spraying…it was about ten years ago–1993–when my Mom started to exhibit some symptoms of Alzheimers.  Like mercury, lead, and other heavy metals, it takes time for it to accumulate to a point that the person can no longer function.  It’s a gradual process of disabling someone….and animals, too.  The deer with neurological diseases popped into my head as I wrote that.

Given that gluten intolerance causes gut inflammation (leaky gut), that allows heavy metal poisoning….and deer love corn, which is GMO…well, it begs the question of whether the deer are suffering from gut inflammation….that nobody is testing for, naturally.  I did a quick search for animals and gut inflammation, and could find nothing.  I don’t know why this wouldn’t be an issue to explore–any animal with corn or soy as a primary diet food should be watched carefully–but we can’t have that–might dip into Monsanto’s profit margin to label their frankenfood as harmful to physical and neurological health.

Gut inflammation and heavy metal poisoning pretty much go hand in hand.  You’re likely to find one with the other.

The video mentions the spraying causing cancer—it is a known fact that mercury causes cancer.

One of the symptoms associated with aluminum toxicity is anemia.  I mentioned in my recent post that I was pale the morning after the skies being sprayed with 26+ chemtrails.  I was as white as a sheet.  I also had the swollen face with pain in my sinuses– a known reaction to aluminum (and mercury), too.  I was jogging the morning of, so I was taking in more air than normal.  This scares me with all the implications of it.  Farmers and anyone who works outside should be alarmed, as well….because the continued exposure will slowly build up.

I’m not sure of the accusations lobbed–there is a lot of money involved in spraying–that much is certain.  And it’s hard not to think about the money trail–who stands to benefit from this?  Who has the resources to pull this off?  Who doesn’t give a rip about the health effects nor have any qualms about killing people?  And if this is a harmless technology, then why deny it is happening?

This is hard to talk about.  It’s disturbing to say the least.  But I’ve seen changes in my health because of the spraying, and because I’m already suffering from mercury poisoning, I’m especially vulnerable to toxins from any source.  I have noticed in FW that there were sooo many people on oxygen, with difficulty breathing.  Most of them were only ten years older than me.  You just didn’t see so much illness as you see today.  I mean, it’s rare that a week goes by that I don’t hear about a young person getting cancer.  Young kids are getting heart attacks, for crying out loud.  You NEVER heard of that unless someone was very ill–it wasn’t a shock because they were in ill health.  Now they’re dropping dead playing sports.

Something is terribly, terribly wrong.

More adventures in gluten free cooking

So…there weren’t any gluten free pie crusts at the grocery, and I was going to go without pumpkin pie, my favorite at Thanksgiving.  But I just couldn’t imagine a Thanksgiving without it…

I saw rice flour was available, with a pie crust recipe, and decided to attempt it.  So, I’m following the recipe, and I get to the end, where you roll it out.  Then it says to cut the crust in slices, and put the slice into the pie pan.  I kid you not.  Normally, one just rolls out the crust and put it as a whole piece into the pie pan.  I thought, “well, this will be interesting…”  Some slices were put in place neatly, and others….well…let’s just say the crust looks like a patchwork quilt. Heh.  Oh well, I’m sure it will taste okay. (she says with fingers crossed).

Oh, and to Joe Donnelly–yeah, I will have a Happy Thanksgiving, thanks to my family.

While I’m working in the kitchen,  I have the TV station tuned to the 70s music station.  I hear some familiar notes…but it’s the middle of one of my favorite songs, Dialogue, Parts 1 and 2, by Chicago (Robert Lamm).  In perhaps the last ten years or so, I’ve only heard Dialogue on the radio once….even on the 70s stations.  I have to wonder at the reasons for it after this station cut off the first part of the song, which asks people to examine their consciences.  The song is as relevant today as it was when it was written:

Don’t it make you angry the way war is dragging on?
Well, I hope the President knows what he’s into, I don’t know

Don’t you ever see the starvation in the city where you live
All the needless hunger all the needless pain?

Thank you for the talk, you know you really eased my mind
I was troubled by the shapes of things to come

Well, if you had my outlook your feelings would be numb
You’d always think that everything was fine

On to lighter subjects–we got about 3-4 inches of snow last night.  I love it. I think I’m the only person in Indiana who loves snow.  Pookie likes it, too–she’ll put her nose deep into the snow, and come up with a snow “beard”…looks so comical it makes me laugh.  They’ve got warnings for northern Indiana, however, with 7-10 inches expected in the northwest corner (lake effect from Lake Michigan).

Hope everyone has the comfort of food and those you love around you this holiday.

Many Blessings to you…

Money for me, not for thee

Continuing the saga of the Food Stamp *cough* savings….

Here’s another article on it.

The comments are interesting, and someone links to this page on Stephen Fincher, whose family farm received…wait for it…$8.9 million in farm subsidies…

…they must be the farmers Joe Donnelly consulted with for the farm bill. /snark

Oh, and Jesus gave loaves and fishes to the hungry.   It’s interesting what portions of the Bible the so-called religious choose to quote to justify their meanness and cruelty.

 

 

 

 

 

Scrooge’s children

must be republicans…and some democrats.  Joe Donnelly was on the local radio station this morning, talking about the Farm Bill.  I guess the new catch word is “savings” when describing cuts to food stamps.  Yep, he actually was promoting the idea of “savings” when taking food away.  He stated that farmers helped write the bill….that he was big on farmers having a say in the bill.

….and then, after stating there would be savings in the farm bill, (from food stamps), he ends his talk with the radio host with “Have a Happy Thanksgiving”.  I kid you not.  Utter callousness and indifference.

Meanwhile, we spend $$$ on overpriced defense suppliers:

Makes you sick, doesn’t it?  Republicans, who are always whining about the budget, never mention this.  They would much rather take food out of someone’s mouth than hold contractors accountable, and save millions in the process.
