March against Monsanto (opinion)
by Hesh Goldstein
(NaturalNews) This coming Saturday, May 25, 2013, there is going to me a nationwide march against Monsanto.
Because of Monsanto's stupidity, callousness, and total disregard for people's health, they have made people aware of little regard they have for anything other than their profits and domination of the food supply.
This awareness has created an amazing number of groups in just about every state that opposes Monsanto. Try to find a group in your area and participate.
You may ask, "Why should I do this?"
1. Monsanto has created a food that has been touted as virtually resistant to enormous amounts of herbicides and pesticides sprayed on it like Agent Orange. Come on, do you really want to eat like that?
2 Monsanto has their hand in the chemtrails because they want to see what effect that the arsenic,
mercury, barium, strontium, aluminum and others have on their crops. If it does have an adverse effect on their crops, rest assured that they will come up with a stronger resistant to be sprayed on their crops. Do you really want to eat that? Oh yeah, they could care less about how the chemtrails affect commercial and organic crops. If it kills them, all the better for Monsanto.
3. After Monsanto's alleged victory in California regarding Proposition 37 and the defeat of California labeling GMOs, Pandora's box got wide open and the s**t hit the fan. States started to initiate labeling laws to such a degree that Monsanto is now petitioning their "hookers" in the House of Representatives and the Senate in Washington, D.C. (District of Deception and Corruption) to add a rider to the Farm Bill to prohibit individual states from passing labeling laws. If Monsanto's food is so good, why do they go to such lengths to make sure YOU do not know what you are eating?
4. When Obama first campaigned in 2008 and promised he would push for GMO labeling, why, when he got elected, did he appoint former Monsanto people to key government positions and develop amnesia about his promise? Check out the revolving door participants:
Michael A. Friedman, the Acting Commissioner of the FDA was the VP of Clinical Affairs at the G.D. Searle pharmaceutical company, which merged with Monsanto;
Arthur Hull Hayes, A former FDA Commissioner and consultant to Searle's public relation's firm;
Margaret Miller, appointed as Deputy Director of the FDA in 19991, was a top Monsanto scientist who
oversaw the approval of rBGH, Monsanto's bovine growth hormone;
Suzanne Sechen, an FDA reviewer on scientific data, worked on the rBGH hormone in connection with
Cornell University;
Michael Taylor, appointed by Obama as the FDA "Food Czar", was an attorney for Monsanto for 7 years and head of the Monsanto Washington, D.C. office;
Clarence Thomas, appointed to the Supreme Court in 1991, was a former Monsanto attorney;
Anne Veneman, appointed head of the USDA in 20021, served on the Board of Directors at Calgene,
a Monsanto Biotech Subsidiary;
Dr. Virginia Weldon, who was a member of the FDA's Metabolism and Endocrine Advisory Committee, is a retired VP for public policy at Monsanto;
Linda Fisher, the Deputy Administrator of the EPA, was Monsanto's VP of Public and Government Affairs;
Roger Beachy, the USDA, and NIFA Director, was the Director of Monsanto's Danforth Center;
Elena Kagen, nominated by Obama to the Supreme Court, and now a member, represented Monsanto
In a seed case. You know, a case where seeds from a Monsanto field blow over to an independent
farmer's field and Monsanto sues them for theft;
Hillary Clinton, our Secretary of State who washed her hands of the Benghazi killing of the US Ambassador, worked for the Rose Law Firm, who did work for Monsanto.
People, this is the tip of the iceberg. Isn't it time to say, "Enough is enough? Isn't it time to elect people to represent the people and not the corporations? Isn't it time to call your elected officials and tell them to oppose the Farm Bill rider to ban the states from initiating labeling laws?
Senator Barbara Boxer has introduced an amendment to the 2013 farm bill that would support GMO labeling. Call your Senator and him/her you want Senator Boxer's amendment supported. The Capitol switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. The operator will connect you to your Senator's office.
According to Ocean Robbins, "there's a lot more at stake here in the farm Bill, including support for organic agriculture, investments in local and sustainable food systems, critical conservation efforts that help farmers protect our air, soil, and water, and dozens of other amendments. "
If you want to "stay tuned", go to the National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition's site, which is continually updated with a "take action" page, and sign up.
Bear in mind that people everywhere are waking up to the disastrous health ramifications of producing and consuming GMOs, with Hawaii considered the GMO "Ground Zero".
According to the research done by Nomi Carbona of www.babesagainstbiotech.com, over 5,000 open air experimental GMO species have been released in Hawaii, more than anywhere else on the planet. Hawaii is also called the "Endangered Species Capitol of the World." GMOs present unreasonable and dire hazards to native species and the biodiversity of Hawaii agriculture, local food production, sustainability and human health. Chemicals associated with GMO 'farming' have instigated lawsuits for chemical poisoning and Hawaii citizens and visitors are exposed to experimental genes and chemicals as cancer clusters throughout the islands are investigated.
Major GMO seed companies are comprised of multi-national chemical corporations, which genetically engineer pesticide, insecticide and herbicide resistance as well as toxins into agriculture and our food supply include Monsanto, DOW, Bayer, BASF, Pioneer/DuPont/ Syngenta. These companies are contaminating Hawaii agriculture land genetically and chemically experimenting in the open air of paradise and growing/exporting non-edible seeds, free from General Excise Tax, while Hawaii imports more than 90% of our food. GMO manufacturing companies have been found guilty of chemical poisoning on numerous occasions and lawsuits for pesticide damages have already been filed on the island of Kauai.
GMOs are banned in 29 countries for risks to human and environmental health, with GMO labeling required in 61 nations. Millions in GMO company campaign contributions across the United States political arena appear to influence the allowance of at least 80 percent of processed foods in the USA containing genetically engineered ingredients.
A women in Salt Lake City, Utah decided to do something grassroots about it by calling for all people to demonstrate peacefully on the same day. So, May 25, 2013 spread like an out of control tsunami and the idea was picked up globally. Now, over 183 cities in more than 30 countries will march against Monsanto. In Hawaii alone, over 8,000 people have marched against GMOs in 2013, so far.
In closing, besides asking you to take part, I would like to leave you with some words by Dr. Stephanie Seneff, a scientist at MIT:
"The pathologies to which glyphosate (the active ingredient in Monsanto's Roundup, which is enormously sprayed on their crops) could plausibly contribute, through its known bio-semiotic effects, include inflammatory bowel disease, entropy, obesity, depression, ADHD, autism, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, ALS, multiple sclerosis, asthma, cancer, cachexia, infertility, erectile dysfunction, and development malformations.
Glyphosate works synergistically with other factors, such as insufficient sun exposure, dietary deficiencies in critical nutrients such as sulfur and zinc, and synergistic exposure to other xenobiotics whose detoxification is impaired by glyphosate."
And now Monsanto is spraying Agent Orange. Yummy!
When all is seemingly lost and out of control, sit back, relax, take a deep breath, and "remember the Alamo."
We are the Alamo that Monsanto is attacking.
Aloha!

I have been doing a weekly radio show in Honolulu since 1981 called "Health Talk". In 2007 I was "forced" to get a Masters degree in Nutrition because of all the doctors that would call in asking for my credentials. They do not call in anymore. Going to www.healthtalkhawaii.com enables you, among other things, to listen to the shows. I am an activist. In addition to espousing an organic vegan diet for optimum health, I am strongly opposed to GMOs, vaccines, processed foods, MSG, aspartame, fluoridation and everything else that the pimps (Big Pharma, Monsanto and the large food companies) and the hookers (the doctors, the government agencies, the public health officials, and the mainstream media) thrust upon us, the tricks.
After being vaccinated with the DTP vaccine as a child I developed asthma. After taking the organic sulfur crystals (they are harvested from the pine trees in Louisiana) in November of 2008 for 10 days my asthma reversed and has not come back over 4 years later, 18 cases, so far, of autism have been reversed, as has cancer, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, osteoarthritis, joint pain, astigmatism, gum disease, increased sexual activity, heavy metal and radiation elimination, parasite elimination, free radicals elimination, faster athletic recovery time, increased blood circulation, reduced inflammation, resistance to getting the flu, reduction of wrinkles, allergy reduction, reduced PMS and monthly period pain, nausea, migraines and so much more. And it's only possible because of the oxygen it releases that floods the cells of the body. The sulfur, as proven by the University of Southampton in England, enables the body to produce vitamin B12 and the essential amino acids. You can find out more about this incredible nutrient also on my website - www.healthtalkhawaii.com -.
