The bill becoming law marks the latest chapter in a controversy that attracted nationwide attention in 2012 when the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors forced family farmer Martha Boneta to cease selling produce from her own 64-acre farm.

On 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…
The 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.

The Supreme Court struck a major blow in favor of digital privacy Wednesday by ruling unanimously that police generally need a warrant before searching the cellphone or personal electronic device of a person arrested.
In a sweeping opinion, Chief Justice John Roberts resoundingly rejected arguments that searches of digital devices for information are comparable to searches law enforcement officers often conduct for contraband after making an arrest. Read more:
A Warren County nurse was unfairly denied unemployment benefits after she was fired for refusing a flu shot without claiming a religious or medical exemption, a New Jersey appeals court ruled today.
The three-judge panel wrote that the hospital’s policy of allowing religious or medical exemptions to the flu shot requirement “unconstitutionally discriminated against” plaintiff June Valent by rejecting her refusal to be vaccinated for secular reasons. read more…

Anthony Gucciardi interviews Dr. Group about some shocking statistics following antidepressant prescriptions.
VLA Comment: About this most important message!
It sounds like Dr. Group is a member of the Citizen’s Commission on Human Rights (CCHR). I almost wrote, Human Health. It deserves to be part of that group too::))) CCHR is a scientology-based activist group-very powerful and very focused on the calculated dumbing-down of the emerging generations of humanity. CCHR is unlike any other organization in the world concerning psyche drugs, to my knowledge. Listen to their message that an increasing percentage of the American population is being put on anti-depressant, anti-psychotic drugs. Dr. Group gives stunning figures.
In other words, a substantial percentage of the emerging generations perceive a reality as tweaked by a concoction of toxic chemical, addictive, mind altering drugs, all compliments of the Bio-Pharmacuetical corporate giants with the financial support of Medicaid and the Bahyr-Dole Act, which gave the Universities the patent/royalties on drugs developed under Government-taxpayer grants (which had belonged to the public) with the stipulation that they had to partner with pharmaceutical company for marketing purposes. Hence the pharmaceuticals have free research and development teams at the universities paid for by taxpayer dollars.
The cardinal underlying “source” of the psychiatric issue that CCHR deals with is also controlled by the Bio-pharmacueticals – Vaccines. The greater percentage of children are no longer “normal” as Rockwell or the late Dr. Thomas Szasz would have it. Every child is damaged to one extent or the other as a pre-cursor foundation for prescriptive drugs.
We think it is time CCHR widen its lens and mention the “V” word. We too advise people to go slowly off their pharmaceuticals. However, these people are hurting and as long as they seek mental or physical comfort the drug companies will be in business. Generations of humanity are damaged to one extent or the other, by the 39-54 vaccines mandated on our children over the last 30 years. In the 1980-2001 15 of those mandated vaccines had mercury in them. That generation received 15 doses of 25 mcgs each of the neuro toxin, mercury mandated by our State governments and orchestrated by the HHS, CDC, Epidemic Intelligence. The 2009/10 pregnant women generation were vaccinated with 2 flu shots both containing 25 mcgs each. Despite a 4,200% spike in miscarriages and stillbirths, the CDC now recommends 4 vaccine doses, the flu shot and the TDaP, shot during fetal development (vaccination-in-utero). And then if the child survives, it will receive up ward of 49 vaccine doses in order to go to school, by the age of six.
How do you think this generation and next generation will fare? A Rockwell answer only affirms that as the kids change into mad maxes, we get used to the change in consciousness and call it normal because we forget what normal is… just as we, with special exceptions, have gotten use to modern tomatoes.
The best Vaccine Liberation Army can do is educate the conscious-based beings and groups of light workers, or for those who have ears to hear to avoid vaccinating their children. This is very fundamental to eliminating the problem of prescriptive drugs that CCHR is addressing. As long as parents vaccinate their children they will be compelled to find a way to mitigate their sufferings. CCHR does not have a captive audience in either the preponderance of doctors or in the vastly damaged generation who is seeking relief. We urge your organization to embrace vaccines as, at the very least, contributory to the cause of disabling the future generations of humanity and recognize the bio-pharmaceutical underlying strategic cause for justifying psyche drugs. Recognize the deep cause will go a long way arrest the reception to psyche drugs. It addresses the thousand pound gorilla in the room.
