Holodomor 2012


“On one side, millions of starving peasants, their bellies often swollen from lack of food; on the other, soldiers, members of the GPU (secret police) carrying out the instructions of the dictatorship of the proletariat. They had gone over the country like a swarm of locusts and taken away everything edible, they had shot or exiled
thousands of peasants, sometimes whole villages, they had reduced some of the most fertile land in the world to a melancholy desert.”

~ Malcolm Muggerage, “War on the Peasants”

The powers that be have become far more discreet since the mass genocide by starvation of the people of the Ukraine in 1932-33  (an event called the Holodomor).  Don’t let the discretion fool you, because the evil brutality is still intact.

More than half of the United States is suffering the worst drought since 1988, stunting the corn crop that is the number one farm commodity in the country.

North Korea has suffered severe drought conditions since April 27th.

12.8 million acres of farmland in China have been affected by severe drought, a drought so severe that millions of people and millions of heads of livestock do not even have drinking water.

Russia suffered an unusually hot and dry spring, reducing export projections from 22-23 million metric tons from last year’s 56.23 million metric tons. 

Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay are suffering under drought conditions that threaten to reduce the soy harvest by over 3 million tons.

We can expect a hungry year ahead, given the weather conditions.  The limited harvests will cause food prices to skyrocket in the months ahead, by up to 3.5%, according to USDA predictions.  This means higher prices for less food at the supermarket checkout during the year to come.

Of course, we have no control over the weather, most people lament, gearing themselves up to expect the higher prices.

Or do we?

According to a paper presented to the US Air Force in 1996, scientists and the military have every intention to control the weather by the year 2025.    The paper, entitled, “Weather as a Force Multiplier: Owning the Weather by 2025” outlines a plan to have total dominance over global weather.

The 52 page treatise details a plan to weaponize rainfall, fog and artificially created storms.  These created weather conditions will be used to cause fear and hardship for enemy troops and enhance conditions for our forces.

The paper, as mentioned, was written in 1996.  We are now halfway through the time-line given as a target.  What has been accomplished in that time?

HAARP

In isolated Gaskon, Alaska is the mysterious and highly restricted HAARP facility.  The facility concentrates on effecting ionospheric changes that are suspected to cause weather changes, storms, radio and satellite interference and earthquakes.  This excerpt from a patent by the contractor who built the HAARP facility, ARCO, explains the proposed uses of the technology. 

   "Thus, this invention provides the ability to put unprecedented amounts of power in the Earth's atmosphere at strategic locations and to maintain the power injection level particularly if random pulsing is employed, in a manner far more precise and better controlled than heretofore accomplished by the prior art, particularly by detonation of nuclear devices of various yields at various altitudes... "

     "...it is possible not only to interfere with third party communications but to take advantage of one or more such beams to carry out a communications network even though the rest of the world's communications are disrupted. Put another way, what is used to disrupt another's communications can be employed by one knowledgeable of this invention as a communication network at the same time."

 "... large regions of the atmosphere could be lifted to an unexpectedly high altitude so that missiles encounter unexpected and unplanned drag forces with resultant destruction."

"Weather modification is possible by, for example, altering upper atmosphere wind patterns by constructing one or more plumes of atmospheric particles which will act as a lens or focusing device.

... molecular modifications of the atmosphere can take place so that positive environmental effects can be achieved. Besides actually changing the molecular composition of an atmospheric region, a particular molecule or molecules can be chosen for increased presence. For example, ozone, nitrogen, etc., concentrations in the atmosphere could be artificially increased."


This is only part of the HAARP story.  Click HERE for an overview. 

Cloud Seeding

“Hydrometeorology” is the topic of study being undertaken by WET International (Weather Enhancing Technologies International).  According to the official website, the PTB have been making it rain for a long time now, through “cloud seeding.” 

Precipitation enhancement by cloud seeding is a reality - it has been practiced for over 50 years and is currently applied in over 40 countries. Effectiveness has been demonstrated in several carefully conducted scientific experiments.


And what is cloud seeding?  Quite simply, it is the process of dispersing substances into clouds to cause precipitation.  “Cloud seeding chemicals may be dispersed by aircraft (as in the second figure) or by dispersion devices located on the ground (generators, as in first figure, or canisters fired from anti-aircraft guns or rockets). For release by aircraft, silver iodide flares are ignited and dispersed as an aircraft flies through the inflow of a cloud. When released by devices on the ground, the fine particles are carried downwind and upwards by air currents after release.’  (Source)

Chemtrails

The patchwork of cloud-like lines decorating the skies may also have something to do with the drought conditions.  According to Chemtrail Planet, the aerosols being released have the capability of actually blocking rain.  “There are several purposes for this aerial spraying (referred to by military as "aerosol scatterings") and one of the purposes is to modify the weather which includes intensification of storms and drought inducement.”

Apparently, naturally occurring rain clouds can be blocked or dissipated through the chemicals released into the atmosphere during the “aerosol scattering.”  Natural Health 365 refers to American Association for Aerosol Research conference held in Orlando, Florida in 2011, where “there was a lecture called: ‘Aerosols, Clouds and Precipitation’. These (crazy) scientists discussed how different aerosols (toxic materials) could create cloud cover to reflect sunlight away from the earth and increase (or decrease) rain fall in certain regions of the world.”  NH365 continues, discussing some of the motivation for these projects. 

Who benefits from weather modification and weather control programs?

Consider this: Since 1997, weather has been traded as a commodity at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.

Many experts agree, this is exactly when geo-engineering programs rose in popularity.

Since commodities are directly affected by the weather – predicting these trends could be very profitable to those individuals who have the ability to control or manipulate our weather.


So Why the Worldwide Drought?

Clearly, there is much evidence that we are able to change the weather.  We possess the technology to cause (or stop) precipitation.  With this fact in mind, why are we suffering from a drought that is affecting crops across the planet?  All over the world, people are either suffering from too little rain, or, in the case of the UK, record-setting rain that has crops rotting in the fields. 

This leads us to more questions than answers.  Is it possible that the droughts have been induced?  And if the droughts are naturally-occurring, then why isn’t precipitation being induced by the science that exists?

Either way, the answer is the same. 

Power and money.

NWO troll mascot Henry Kissinger chillingly said, “Control food and you control people.”

What easier way to control the food supply than to dramatically reduce harvests?  Whether the drought is naturally occurring and could be broken, or is artificially induced, the effect is the same.  The 2012 harvest all over the world will be greatly reduced. 

Look for the mad scientists of Monsanto to use this as an effort to cash in and increase their monopoly on crops worldwide with the creation of some new drought-resistant, nutritionless mutation.  Just last year, they announced that they were seeking USDA approval for unlimited sales of a new drought resistant corn.  Coincidence?  Expect the noose of Codex Alimentarius to tighten, restricting our ability to produce food even more. 

This record-low harvest will result in…

~  Increased food prices (again) ~
~  Food shortages in many parts of the world ~
~ The inability of countries to reserve food to meet future needs ~

How simple it would be to exert control over parents who will be forced to fall in line or watch their children starve.

How horrifyingly easy it would be to coerce starving people by offering them some sustenance.

How positively Machiavellian it would be to offer “aid” to people who are financially devastated by the ever-increasing price of food in exchange for their compliance in some unrelated matter.

A United Nations-induced Stockholm Syndrome could easily be the result of this world-wide lack of food.  A dependence on government will be nurtured, and with it, a new and even more crushing regime of leadership.

What Can You Do?

Begin preparing.  Stockpile food NOW, while you can still find some reasonable prices.  Follow the lead of the LDS church and work on building a one-year supply of food. 

Invest in tangibles.  Forget about your IRA account, your bonds and your CDs.  No investment you can make right now will compare to the pay-off of healthy, non-GMO food for you and your family.  You can’t eat your fiat dollars, and as the financial crash looms ever-closer, the value of those dollars drops more every day.

Do not sell out.  When an offer seems too good to be true, it probably is.  Don’t sell your soul to the government for a can of beans.  The self-sufficiency that you build today is the basis of your independence from the Regime. 

Learn alternative methods of producing food.  Instead of heading to the grocery store to pick up your produce, fill a kitchen window with herbs and sprouts.  Consider setting up an indoor garden to get your family through the winter.  Use every square inch of yard space, harvest water from what little rain you receive and declare your independence from Big Agri.

Recognize and resist.  Be vigilant of attempts to impact your personal liberties in exchange for relief from the high prices and shortages.  The more you submit, the more domineering the efforts will become. 

If you think this cannot happen, you need only look back to the Ukrainian Genocide in 1932-33 for verification that it can, indeed, occur – intentionally and with malice.  Over 10 million Ukrainians were starved to death in a little over a year, all in the name of control.  Study the history and you will begin to see our future.

"This was the first instance of a peacetime genocide in history. It took the extraordinary form of an artificial famine deliberately created by the ruling powers. The savage combination of words for the designation of a crime - an artificial deliberately planned famine - is still incredible to many people throughout the world, but indicates the uniqueness of the tragedy of 1933, which is unparallelled, for a time of peace, in the number of victims it claimed.'

Monsanto: The Real Cyberdyne

If ever there was a company that embodied evil, it would be the Monsanto Company.
The combination of unfettered corporate greed, a eugenics agenda and corrupt political manipulation forms an unholy trinity that could make Monsanto the real Cyberdyne Systems.  In the Terminator movies, Cyberdyne Systems created the artificial intelligence computer system Skynet, which destroyed most life on earth and forced survivors to live underground.
Proving once again that fact is indeed as strange as fiction, the Monsanto Company could singlehandedly cause TEOTWAWKI (The End Of The World As We Know It).
The History of Monsanto
Monsanto was started in St. Louis, Missouri in 1901 by John Francis Queeny, whose background was in the pharmaceutical industry.  Beginning as it would continue, the first product made by Monsanto was saccharin, a controversial artificial sweetener now banned in many countries for its links to cancer.
Over the last century, Monsanto was responsible for bringing many controversial substances to the market.
·        Saccharin
·        Agent Orange
·        DDT
·        Aspartame
·        Bovine Growth Hormone
Initially a chemical company, it wasn’t until 1982 that Monsanto branched into agriculture, immediately tying the chemical background to the formerly wholesome business of growing food.  Monsanto was determined to improve on nature and by the late 1980s had begun trials with genetically modified crops.
Monsanto and the Court System
Monsanto is no stranger to either side of the courtroom. In effort to eradicate the family farm, Monsanto has taken many farmers to court for patent infringement.  Farms unfortunate enough to be downwind of Monsanto have been sued because of cross-pollination with Monsanto plants from neighbouring farms.  Because these farmers did not purchase seeds from Monsanto, they were “stealing” the benefits of this genetic engineering, and thus, successfully sued until they lost their businesses to the greedy company.
Farmers have incurred millions of dollars in judgements, sometimes even being required to pay for Monsanto’s investigation of their crops and Monsanto’s legal expenses.  According to the Center for Food Safety, the odds are stacked against the farmers. “Monsanto has an annual budget
of $10 million dollars and a staff of 75 devoted solely to investigating and
prosecuting farmers.”

Monsanto has been in the defendant’s seat as well.  The chemical giant recently settled for an undisclosed amount with the residents of Nitro, West Virginia in a class action lawsuit over the production of the carcinogenic chemical 2,4,5-T, an ingredient in herbicides and pesticides, as well as the banned “Agent Orange.”

A group of more than 300,000 organic farmers recently took a page from Monsanto’s book and sued the company because they found through testing that their crops had been “tainted” by genetically modified plants growing nearby. The case, unfortunately, was dismissed.

Monsanto’s Incestuous Relationship with the Federal Government
Part of the reason Monsanto has been so successful in the courtroom has been the company’s incestuous ties to the US de facto government.  Despite the blatant conflicts of interest, Monsanto executives have held Cabinet, judicial and policy-making positions in the Bush, Clinton and Obama administrations.  When you’re sleeping with the enemy, the enemy tends to get away with all manner of crimes.
Michael Taylor: 
VP of Monsanto à Deputy Commissioner of the FDA
Roger Beachy:  Director of the Danforth Plant Science Center (paid for by Monsanto) à director of the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture
Elena Kagan:  Obama Solicitor General (when she famously took Monsanto's side against organic farmers in the Roundup Ready Alfalfa case) àUS Supreme Court justice.
Clarence Thomas:  General Counsel for Monsanto àUS Supreme Court justice.
Margaret Miller:  Monsanto supervisor à Deputy Director of Human Food Safety
Donald Rumsfield: Board of Directors for Monsanto’s Searle Pharmaceuticals à US Secretary of Defense
Ann Veneman:  Monsanto Board of Directors à US Secretary of Agriculture
Linda Fisher: Assistant Administrator at the EPA àVP of Monsanto àDeputy Administrator of the EPA
Dr. Michael A.Friedman: Deputy Commisioner of the FDA àSenior VP of Monsanto

Monsanto’s Corporate Bedfellows
Monsanto’s collusion goes further than mere ties with government.  The power-mad and wealthy seem to be magnetically drawn to the company.
Recently, public depopulation proponent Bill Gates bought half a million shares in Monsanto and began “gifting” Monsanto seeds to farmers in Third World countries.  These farmers will be permanently tied to Monsanto, as the self-terminating seeds will have to be repurchased every year.
Monsanto’s Board of Directors has ties to corporate giants such as McDonalds, Cisco Systems, Sara Lee, Lockheed Martin and Proctor and Gamble, to name a few.
Monsanto has sponsored exhibits at Disneyworld and Disneyland.
Monsanto has tentacles in the following companies through mergers and spin-offs:  GD Searle, the Nutrasweet Company, Pharmacia, Upjohn, Eli Lilly & Co., Seminis, Delta and Pine Land Company, and De Ruiter Seeds.
Starving Amidst Abundance
Perhaps the most disturbing issue with Monsanto and their products is the fact that the genetically engineered food is simply untested – we don’t know the full repercussions from eating this stuff.
Animal studies in Europe have proven that animals fed a GMO diet are more likely to suffer from organ failure. The study concluded, “It is unacceptable to submit 500 million Europeans and several billions of consumers worldwide to the new pesticide GM-derived foods or feed, this being done without more controls (if any) than the only 3-month-long toxicological tests.”
Other studies have shown disturbing results like stomach lesions, increased risk of anaphylactic shock, increased antibiotic resistance, and toxins in the bloodstreams of newborns.
We aren’t allowed to be warned about GMOs either.  Although Obama promised labeling of GMO foods appearing at your local grocery store, it’s yet another campaign promise that has never been fulfilled.  The state of Vermont is currently being sued by Monsanto for labeling GMO foods. The FDA has also refused to force GMO producers to label their food.  At this point, the only way you can be sure you are getting your food as nature intended it is to pay high prices for organic foods.
Monsanto has changed the face of world agriculture to the point that each trip to the grocery store results in a lottery of genetic mutations.  Will the tomato that you eat today cause bleeding ulcers tomorrow?  Will the gmo corn that insinuates itself into 90% of processed foods cause your child to have a resistance to antibiotics that might otherwise save her life? Are you missing important nutrients by consuming these foods, causing you to overeat to attempt to satiate your need for vitamins and minerals?
Monsanto has been publicly accused of mishandling toxic chemicals.  Many of the items the company has brought to market have since been banned, which suggests proper testing was not done in the first place.  With all of Monsanto’s criminal accessories in the US de facto government, as well as Big Pharma and other corporate entities, is it any stretch to question the company’s mutation of our food supply?
Amidst all of this genetically modified abundance, wouldn’t it be ironic to perish from malnutrition?

Monsanto Plays Monopoly
With the world’s farms as its gameboard, Monsanto is aggressively taking over agriculture.  As mentioned above, one of the primary ways Monsanto removes the competition is through lawsuits that regular farmers can not afford. 
Another tactic used by Monsanto is that of genetically engineering seeds to be self-terminating.  Quite simply, Monsanto seeds can be used to grow one plant.  The time-honored practice of carefully harvesting seeds from plants so that they can be reused will not work with Monsanto seeds because they have been sterilized.
The donations of Monsanto seeds to Third World countries is, then, somewhat akin to the drug dealer who gives his clients a “free sample” for their first hit.  The client has no choice but to come back. 
The creation of the self-terminating seed causes a revolving need for more seeds every year.  If plants grown in subsequent years are found to have some residual DNA from previous Monsanto plantings, the farmer knows he will be sued and lose everything.  The farmer is unable to propagate from previous crops.  Monsanto has created a customer who has no option but to purchase from them year after year.
As a method to take over the world, what better way than to control the source from which all food comes?  If the ONLY seeds are one day these modified sterile creations, what happens when those seeds disappear?  What happens if Monsanto stops producing the seeds?  What if seeds become regulated and only distributed in certain amounts to certain growers?
Starvation on a scale more massive than the world has ever seen occurs.
Control is complete and absolute. 
This is the ultimate power.

Is Bill Gates a Psychopath?

Imagine being able to announce your intention to kill 900 million people.
Imagine devising a plan so cunning that people line up to be complicit in their own murders.
Imagine having the resources to put that plan into action and the power to publically share your intention without any fear of repercussions.
This is pure psychopathy.
Psychopathy is defined as “a personality disorder characterized by a pervasive pattern of disregard for the rights of others and the rules of society. Psychopaths have a total lack of empathy and remorse, and have very shallow emotions. They are generally regarded as callous, selfish, dishonest, arrogant, aggressive, impulsive, irresponsible, and hedonist.”

Bill Gates, the mega-rich founder of Microsoft, could be defined as a classic psychopath.

Following in the jackbooted steps of his father, William Gates Sr., Bill Gates has been a long-time proponent of population control. Gates Sr. has long-time ties to outspoken eugenicist David Rockefeller, as well as Planned Parenthood (which was founded by a member of the American Eugenics Society).

In 2010, Bill Gates spoke at a TED convention, where he stated, While reproductive health care and birth control can obviously steer the population downward, how would health care and vaccines DECREASE the population unless by design?
"The world today has 6.8 billion people... that's headed up to about 9 billion. Now if we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care, reproductive health services, we could lower that by perhaps 10 or 15 percent.”
This was a clear public announcement of Gates’ plan to kill off hundreds of millions of people.
And yet, this announcement of mass murder has resulted in no punishment.  No prison time has occurred, no criminal charges have been filed and no one is suing the pants off of the Gates family.
Gates has proclaimed this as “The Century of the Vaccination”, unrolling plans that 90% of the world be vaccinated. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has “philanthropically” subjected hundreds of thousands of children in India to a polio vaccine that was banned in the United States because it caused the very disease it was purported to prevent.  Over 47,500 Indian children given this vaccine have since developed a polio-like paralysis.
If Gates can’t poison you directly via vaccines, he has developed a secondary plan, and this one has the added bonus of lining his already-stuffed pockets.  Under the benevolent cloak of promoting agricultural advancement, Gates has provided the farmers of the Third World with Monsanto seeds.
Gates has recently invested heavily in Monsanto, the GMO giant. Monsanto is responsible for the genetically engineered seeds with pesticides built right in.  The seeds can only be used one time and the food that results from the seeds is nutrionally inferior to unmodified seeds.  Despite (or perhaps because of) the lack of nutritional value and the inability to save seeds from one year to the next, Gates is gifting these toxic “terminator” seeds via the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. 
In effect, by giving these seeds away, Gates and Monsanto are like the drug dealers that give someone the first hit for free.  If the user wants to keep getting high, they’re going to have to buy the drugs after that first freebie.  The fact that these GMO seeds are self-terminating makes this the gift that keeps on giving, because as Third World farms convert to these self-terminating seeds, the farmers will have no choice but to continue using the Monsanto seeds – new seeds must be purchased every year, which puts Monsanto well on the road to creating a global agricultural monopoly. 
In Gates’ “annual letter” he outlines his plans under a humanitarian guise.  He mentions agricultural technology, vaccines for every child, and his plans to get others to give “gifts” to the Third World.
The depopulation plans of Bill Gates are chilling when they are presented to the world as “philanthropy” but it’s even more disturbing that Gates makes public statements about the reduction of population. 
He has clearly announced his plans….they are insidious. It’s infuriating to hear people say, “Oh, he didn’t mean it like that!”  He clearly did mean it “like that” because every move he makes is another step towards his stated goal of depopulation.
Part of the game for a psychopath is manipulation.  The challenge of convincing people to be complicit in their own deaths and enslavement is part of the entertainment.  The psychopath manipulates and deceives just to see if he can get away with it.  He is ruthless and utterly without conscience.
The only way to combat people like this is with information.  Expose the plan by sharing this information.  Let the world know about this evil NWO agenda of depopulation and control. 
The bottom line?  The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation promotes mass murder, involuntary sterility and agricultural monopoly that will ultimately lead to control of the world’s food supply.   Announcing their intentions only makes the game more interesting for them.

Bill Gates and Monsanto Team Up to Fight World Hunger

2012 Annual Letter from Bill Gates

The Environmental Deception Agency

The Environmental Deception Protection Agency is a federal agency that is charged with the responsibility of writing and enforcing legislation to protect human health and the environment.  Established under Nixon in 1970, the EPA is another one of those agencies that sounds like a good idea, until you peel off the shiny friendly top layer to discover the stench of corruption underneath.
Much like the leadership of the FDA, the most recent administrators have some very questionable ties.
·         Present: Lisa Jackson

If people are judged by the company they keep, then it’s very unfortunate for Lisa Jackson that she was most recently Governor Jon Corzine’s Chief of Staff. (I’m sure we all recall that nasty little scandal in which 1.2 BILLION dollars of other people’s money vanished out of Corzine’s sweaty little hands).  

Since taking the reins of the EPA, Jackson’s handling of the Gulf Oil spill has triggered numerous petitions for her removal from the office. Jackson allowed BP to use a toxic dispersal chemical in the contaminated waters, sparking local outrage. 

According to one petition, Lisa Jackson failed to alert, or to seek approval from, the communities and people who would be most impacted by the dispersant. As has been noted in an open letter by leading scientists, the people of the Gulf are unwitting participants in scientific experimentation of a massive scale. This is unethical, immoral, illegal and goes against every scientific principle that Lisa Jackson would have learned in her training. She was hired to enforce the environmental laws of our country but instead has knowingly and willfully violated them.”

We’ll discuss Jackson’s disappointing handling of the Fukushima disaster a little further down the page.
·         2005: Stephen L. Johnson

Johnson’s leadership of the EPA was punctuated by several moves so controversial that even the ethically questionable member of the US Congress called for his resignation. 

During his confirmation hearing, he cancelled a study he had previously supported – the Children’s Environmental Exposure Research Study – which, horrifyingly, studied the effect of household chemicals and pesticides on small children, and even worse, was partially sponsored by a lobbying group that worked for the large chemical companies.  (Don’t worry – the families were compensated up to $1000 AND a t-shirt for promising to expose their kids to potential toxins for three years.)

With that nasty study out of the way, Johnson continued to wreak environmental havoc by (illegally) hampering 17 states from making their own regulations regarding automotive emissions, bringing him before the Congress again amidst a cry for his resignation. Under Johnson, the EPA made flawed pro-industry regulations that were later overthrown in court.

After his tenure at the EPA, Johnson has been added to the boards of Miracle-Gro and FlexEnergy. 

·         2003: Mike Leavitt

Leavitt has no background in science whatsoever.  He earned a BS in economics and business. He worked on numerous political campaigns before he became the governor of Utah.  He became extremely wealthy by starting a large insurance company and also served on the board of directors for Utah Power and Light. Somehow, despite his lack of education or experience in environmental subjects, he was appointed to the EPA in 2003. Environmentalists protested his nomination, citing that he had allowed polluting industries to develop millions of acres of Utah wilderness. 

While in charge of the EPA, Leavitt drew fire for using memos written by coal industry lobbyists when issuing a proposed plan to regulate mercury emissions from coal-burning power plants (a plan that critics said was far too lax to have positive effect). Leavitt’s lethargic record for regulating the use of toxic chemicals for fracking was cause for a congressional hearing.

Leavitt subsequently became the Secretary of Health and Human Services, and is now the owner of a consulting group, Leavitt Partners, which assists states in implementing Obamacare.

The EPA and Industry
The EPA has been accused of covering up crimes committed by public health enemy #1, Monsanto, as well as Dow Chemicals.  The EPA’s investigation proved that Monsanto knowingly tainted Lysol (used by moms everywhere to sanitize babies’ toys) with dioxin.  However, no criminal charges have been forthcoming as of this publication. 
The EPA also quietly closed an investigation of Monsanto’s twisted cover-up in the Nitro, West Virginia herbicide plant accident that exposed hundreds of workers to deadly carcinogen dioxin, which can still be found in nearby streams and lakes. Despite the fact that this investigation simply disappeared, Monsanto agreed in February to pay $93 million dollars to residents of Nitro in order to settle a class action lawsuit.
The EPA has refused to ban a pesticide made by Dow Chemicals, the controversial 2,4-D, the same substance used in Agent Orange. This pesticide will be used on corn crops that have been genetically engineered to be resistant to the toxin.  Agent Orange causes cancer, hormone disruption, genetic mutations and neurotoxicity and will be soon be coming to a corn field near you.
The EPA has refused a petition to ban BPA in industry, citing a lack of scientific evidence of the negative effects of the chemical. BPA is commonly found tainting canned goods, especially soup, and bottled water that has been exposed to heat. (Author’s note:  It would probably be very expensive for industry to have to replace all those containers with BPA-free cans and bottles.)

The EPA and Radiation Sleight-of-Hand
Our country is currently being inundated with radiation from the Fukushima disaster.  The EPA is right on top of things with their response, of course. First, they promptly closed down 8 of 18 radiation measuring stations in the hardest hit area, California.  Then, to further calm the good people of the nation, the EPA magically changed the numbers.  They’ve raised the amount of radiation that we can safely absorb and ingest.  It wouldn’t do for the large factory farms to be unable to sell their tainted produce or for the huge dairies to be stuck with all that radioactive milk.
The radiation in our food supply is of so little concern to the EPA that they’ve actually begun to tell us that a little bit of radiation is good for us. According to a report citing the EPA, a bit of radiation can prevent cancer, instead of causing it.
Since our minds can be at ease now, the EPA has decided that they are no longer planning to monitor the radiation levels in our food supply.  They will return to their previous practice of only monitoring random samples every three months.  Yep.  Really.  The Environmental Protection Agency of the United States is no longer monitoring radiation levels in our food and water supplies as of April 14th.  That will definitely keep them from getting those inconveniently high readings that might affect Big Agri’s prosperity. 


“I really am horrified,” said Daniel Hirsch, a nuclear policy lecturer at the University of California, Santa Cruz. “It’s quite staggering and it seems to be part of the pattern of the EPA trying to make sure that there are no measurements that could cause people to be concerned.” 


 In a very clear case of the wolves watching the baby lambs, the EPA is turning over monitoring decisions and responsibility to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.


The EPA: Just another instrument of government deceit


One controversy after another can be attributed to the EPA, an agency charged with protecting the air we breathe, the soil in which we grow our food and the water that we drink.  At the bottom of each of those controversies can be found ties to the conspiracies of the big businesses that really run the country.  Decisions are being auctioned off to industry lobbyists with the most money and influence.


Environmental protection is only the rule of thumb if it goes along with Agenda 21 – the EPA is all over the green agenda in cases that benefit the redistribution of wealth, but the agency completely ignores blatant crimes against the earth if it involves fracking for the benefit of a natural gas company.


I used to content myself in believing that if something wasn’t safe, it wouldn’t be used in America, that forward-thinking, technically brilliant land that supported life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.  Sadly, in the case of yet another federal agency, safety is in the eye of the highest bidder.
