Monsanto’s Herbicide Linked to Fatal Kidney Disease Epidemic: Could It Topple the Company? Truthout Friday 11th July 2014

Monsanto’s herbicide Roundup has been linked to a mysterious fatal kidney disease epidemic that has appeared in Central America, Sri Lanka and India.

For years, scientists have been trying to unravel the mystery of a chronic kidney disease epidemic that has hit Central America, India and Sri Lanka. The disease occurs in poor peasant farmers who do hard physical work in hot climes. In each instance, the farmers have been exposed to herbicides and to heavy metals. The disease is known as CKDu, for Chronic Kidney Disease of unknown etiology. The “u” differentiates this illness from other chronic kidney diseases where the cause is known. Very few Western medical practitioners are even aware of CKDu, despite the terrible toll it has taken on poor farmers from El Salvador to South Asia.Read more…

Monsanto, Syngenta, Bayer: Big Agri Peddles “GMO Gruel” to the Impoverished

Clearly the solution to solving destitution that leads to malnutrition and starvation is addressing the socioeconomic disparity that created it in the first place, but the monopolies that benefit from this disparity the most are in no way about to do so. Instead, their proposal is to feed the third world with genetically modified gruel to make up for the fact that poor populations cannot access a normal, balanced diet. This “GMO gruel” not only allows big-agricultural monopolies to expand their markets under the guise of “charity,” but allows them to monopolize a greater portion of the world’s food supply. By hooking the third world on “GMO gruel” that will be patented, centrally controlled, and beyond the means of local populations to reproduce independently, the very perpetrators of global disparity will only tighten their grip on humanity tighter still.

CUTTING EDGE NEWS: Is Monsanto contributing to the rise in PSYCHE DRUG Mass Shootings???

1 Reply

1366750352_1320_a1monsantoskull_dees

Studies conducted over the last decade have clearly demonstrated the link between adverse reactions to Psycho-Pharmaceutical medications and underactive or underperforming CYP450 enzymes. This has caused some to wonder whether or not the recent uptick in mass shootings and the obvious link to many of the perpetrators and prescription drugs could be related to the performance of the CYP450 enzymes. Additional research, however, is now causing more questions to be asked in reference to the connections that chemicals like Glyphosate may have in the inhibition of proper CYP450 performance and, thus, in the uptick in mass shootings. Read more…

VLA COMMENT:  This cutting edge information.  Mass shootings, suicides, adverse reactions to vaccines, Autism, chronic illness, diabetes, obesity, asthma…are the results of the body not being able to detoxify toxins through its natural major detox channel – Cytochrome P450 .  This field of focus on drug interactions on the body is called Pharmacogenetics.  Education amongst the medical profession has been suppressed by the pharmacuetical industry. Yet all classifications physicians  today  are prescribing medications without understand the status of the individuals ability to metablolize these drugs and rid them from the body.  For example, Pediatricians have prescribed drugs such as paxil, prozac, etc  to over 275,000 children 0-1 year old.  10,000 toddlers are on psyche drugs. 25% of American children are on psyche drugs.  Ritalin and Adderall, amphetamine drugs saturate our schools.  Children have to line at camp in the morning to get their daily dosage.

A simple test to determine an individuals metabolic status has not been made standard of care although knowledge of this drug interaction causing suicidal and homicidal ideations is over 15 years old. More over, there are a variety of psyche drugs that are labeled as causing “suicidal ideations” (A self blame syndrome), but the “H” word is not mentioned ( homicide (an outer “blame” syndrome).

This labeling suggests that the manufacturers are aware of  the variance in the ability of individuals to metabolize their drugs. Respiridal, for example, now includes Cytochrome P450 channels of detox in their package inserts. But who reads them?

It is further interesting to note that the cytochrome is “maturing”.  This poses the question of how do infants one hour old, 2 months old, 6 months old metabolize toxins such as mercury and other ingredients in vaccines containing hormones, toxins;  have not been studied for carcinogenic or mutagenic effects;  are environmental pollutants, and other xenobiotics, all of  which are metabolized by CYP450 enzymes.  It is also worth mentioning that glutathione which is ultra depleted in children with Autism is also regulated by this Cytochrome.

As the author points out, as with human life, plant life also contains this mechanism of detoxification involving Cytochrome P450.  Monsanto patents reveal that Cytochrome P450 is  key to their Round Up (Glysophate) herbicide, the killing of natural plant life on behalf of  the survival of their patented genetically manipulated companion seeds.  VERY IMPORTANT ARTICLE BY BRANDON TURBEVILLE PUBLISHED BY ACTIVIST POST.

Breaking News: New York State – High Court verdict…Municipalities can ban FRACKING

Leave a reply

Dryden_Slideshow_18On June 30, 2014, the Court of Appeals handed down a landmark decision, ruling that New York municipalities have the right to keep fracking out of their borders, a victory for Dryden and communities across the state. The town of Dryden had fought fracking. And, at long last, they had won.

“I thought the industry was so powerful and that there was nothing I could do,” said McRae. “Then I learned there was something I could do just by talking to my neighbors.” (in Dryden, New York)

“The town has a very strong case. Previous courts have ruled that localities retain their longstanding power to regulate land use, including by prohibiting industrial activities such as gas development in their communities. We’ll do everything we can to ensure this victory stands.”

After Dryden passed their ban more than 170 other towns in New York followed suit. The fate of those towns—and many more that hoped to pass bans—hung in the balance as the case advanced through the legal system.

As the Dryden case advanced, winning in two lower courts, other communities started to take action. In addition to the more than 170 towns in New York, communities in Colorado, Pennsylvania, Texas, Ohio and California have all taken action to protect their local communities from fracking.

Attorney Goldberg (Deborah Goldberg, EarthJustice.org,  argues before the Court of Appeals on June 3, 2014) argued that the New York State Legislature had not, in a 1981 law, granted the oil and gas industry the right to override long-held zoning powers of municipalities. “The idea that this industry would get the extreme and unprecedented right that no other industry has ever received in the state of New York simply because we want to promote the oil and gas industry” makes no sense, she said. “We’re not promoting it at all costs.”  Read more…

Russian GMO ban in full effect as of July 2014

Leave a reply

Dmitry Medvedev attends meeting of deputies from Russian rural villagesThe earlier resolution banning GMO will come into full effect in July 2014. “It is necessary to ban GMOs, to impose moratorium (on) it for 10 years. While GMOs will be prohibited, we can plan experiments, tests, or maybe even new methods of research could be developed. It has been proven that not only in Russia, but also in many other countries in the world, GMOs are dangerous. Methods of obtaining the GMOs are not perfect, therefore, at this stage, all GMOs are dangerous. Consumption and use of GMOs obtained in such way can lead to tumors, cancers and obesity among animals. Bio-technologies certainly should be developed, but GMOs should be stopped. We should stop it from spreading. ” – Irina Ermakova, VP of Russia’s National Association for Genetic Safety

VLA Comment:  I would wish that Russia would turn organic.  However, in my opinion, It is  Russia’s signal to those is the know, that it is a strategy to undermine the United State’s plan to get a big piece of the currency reset based on the “resource” of owning the world food supply.  The United States has changed domestic patent law to facilitate the expansion with the support of Congress and continually attempts to change international law.

Invention: Tower pulls 25 gallons of water per day out of thin air

So how would Warka Water’s low-tech design hold up in remote sub-Saharan villages? Internal field tests have shown that one Warka Water tower can supply more than 25 gallons of water throughout the course of a day, Vittori claims. He says because the most important factor in collecting condensation is the difference in temperature between nightfall and daybreak, the towers are proving successful even in the desert, where temperatures, in that time, can differ as much as 50 degrees Fahrenheit.

The structures, made from biodegradable materials, are easy to clean and can be erected without mechanical tools in less than a week. Plus, he says, “once locals have the necessary know-how, they will be able to teach other villages and communities to build the Warka.”

Monsanto Joins World Business Council for Sustainable Development

WBCSD-Vision-2050_Poster

Corporate giant Monsanto, known for its controversial business model, lobbying, and its widely criticized genetically modified organisms (GMOs), has officially joined the World Business Council for Sustainable Development, a group of powerful interests including major banks and Big Oil.  Some expressed alarm over the announcement, saying the global “sustainability” push is really a transparent plot to centralize power in the UN and enrich special interests at the expense of private property rights, national sovereignty, and individual liberty. (Agenda 21). Read more…

VLA comment:  In Fairfield, Iowa where we have thousands of people meditating; where the University grows its own organic food –  the only cafeteria in the US to do so, we have a 2 block long, 22 story GMO grain elevator being constructed at the edge of this sustainable town.  Fairfield is the home of Jeffrey Smith, the worlds leading anti GMO lecturer and activist. This granary will hook up to Warren Buffet’s BNSF railway and ship 20 million bushels of corn to the Asia Pacific rim through Mexico to Japan to China.  Iowa is slated in this new vision to become the center agribusiness industrial park for the global food supply (genetically engineered food, only). With this resource having strategically been developing over the years, the United States will enjoy, by and by, a big piece of the global currency supply which will be based on “resources”.  The USA will ostensibly own the World food supply—Iowa will supply hogs and feed to the world.  With this new vision the sustainable program of Agenda 21 will fit in nicely in the name of FOOD SECURITY.  Human resources will be marginalized in Iowa where Pigs on Ex Lax and frankenfeed will be shipped abroad. Where swaths of land will be set aside for Food Security Purposes and people (those who stay) will live in zoned cities.  A China company now owns the largest USA pork producer and Japan owns the 3rd largest grain/feed distributor.  But the interesting this is that behind this companies in the deep are American Wall Street Corporate players. China bought Smithfield Hogs in order to learn about consolidated pork production techniques which they will employ in China and build their own CAFO industry following Smithfield’s CAFO models.  However, American hog farmers will be surprised to find corn/feed prices at all time highs.  They will also be surprised when they find out that China wants the whole pig as they eat parts of the pigs we throw away.  With this many immigrants working at the meat processing factories will be out their jobs.  There goes the immigrant Mexican Hispanic workers who were driven to the United States because of the NAFTA trade deal.

Mexico recently banned the planting of GMO foods in Mexico yet this new vision, the Heartland Grain Co op under construction in Fairfield and Buffet’s BNSF railroad will export 20,000,000 bushels of corn to/through Mexico while the hispanic immigrants who came to USA under NAFTA agreements will be out of their jobs.  Once China gets their own consolidated pork producing going…lets watch the Hog market collapse post their expansion to serve China.

And when mother nature has had enough alien life forms planted in her womb, destroying her reproductive ecology, she will have her day too!  Any good woman would have abort under these circumstances.  I have prophesied an agricultural holocaust since the 1990s.  I think that 2025 will see it rear its head.

VLA comment:  Tom Vilsack, the former Governor of Iowa is just a figure head as Secretary of Agriculture (USDA).  The real person in charge has been working behind the scenes in government since Dr. David Kessler’s time (the tobacco debacle) is Jerold Mande, USDA’s Deputy Under Secretary for Food Safety.  His best buddy is the czar of the FDA, Monsanto’s Michael Taylor. No one hears much about Jerold.  Bottomline is Jerold Mande runs the USDA and Michael Taylor runs the FDA.  I called the USDA to find Jerold Mande.  I asked what his title was and they would not give me that information.  I said I think he is the deputy secretary and the telephone operator said she could not give me that information but If I give her my name she would have him call me.  I am amazed that our own government agency has such a defense about transparency that I can’t even get the job title of one of the agency’ heads. May be you would like to ask him about Food Safety…Give it a try. See what you can find out...202 720-3631

Working with researchers at Carnegie Mellon and the University of Virginia, WaterisLife and DDB supported scalability work and design based on research conducted by Teri Dankovich for her Ph.D. at McGill University. Dankovich found a way to coat cardstock with silver nanoparticles that attract bacteria and toxins when water trickles by. Dankovich says her research indicates that the filters leave water more than 99.9 percent pure. Each page of the book can filter about 30 days’ worth of clean drinking water, and the whole book can last about four years.  READ MORE

Russia Will Not Import GMO Products Declares Prime Minister

Russia will not import GMO products, the country’s Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said, adding that the nation has enough space and resources to produce organic food.

Moscow has no reason to encourage the production of genetically modified products or import them into the country, Medvedev told a congress of deputies from rural settlements on Saturday.

“If the Americans like to eat GMO products, let them eat it then. We don’t need to do that; we have enough space and opportunities to produce organic food,” he said.  Read more…
