Empower Yourself

We live in a moment of history where change is so speeded up that we begin to see the present only when it is already disappearing.

GMO labeling is underway

93% of Americans according to polls are supporting the idea of GMO food labeling. On Thursday, December 5th, 2013 the mayor of the Big Island of Hawaii, Billy Kenoi, signed bill 113 into law. This bill prohibits biotech companies from operating on the Big Island, and it bans farmers from growing any new genetically altered crops. This is a great news since it means that Hawaii joined Mexico and Italy and 9 other European countries that banned genetically modified plants from being planted on their soil.

Biotech companies are trying desperately to prevent labeling from happening by using secret and illegal donations from fast food industry, bribing politicians, meddling with congress decisions, for instance by forcing a well known Monsanto Protection Act which is supposed to protect Biotech companies from being sued in case if  the truth about the scientific findings (Seralini, France) that GMOs are highly cancerous and toxic and dangerous -will finally be acknowledged in official news.

After all it is all about the right to know what is in our food, and if we choose not to eat an apple crossed with a pig, or strawberry crossed with an arctic fish, or if we choose not to eat contaminated toxic corn which is in everything right now - we might just choose not to eat it, that's all people want for now. In the long run, people want to eliminate  frankenfood from our food chain. Look at this sick fish, it is a genetically modified trout, product of years of expensive research, maybe already on your dinner plate. Read the article

The Greed - Pathology of the rich

The Pathology of the Rich -Chris Hedges on Reality Asserts Itself pt1

My weekly best find - Chris Hedges is an American journalist, editor of weekly Truthdig column, who was growing up as a child of middle class among the rich, privileged kids, talks about how dumb folded  American society is by the ideology which became a delusional story we all hear over and over again in official media, at schools and universities that everything is absolutely normal, and everyone who gets education and works hard can become rich. Chris Hedges explains here why it is simply not the truth.
We see Wall-mart for example, and we all know that people working in Wall-mart receive minimum wage, those workers cannot buy enough food for the table, but not so many people realize that the Wallmart owners, six members of the 'Walton family, have amassed an estimated combined fortune of between $115 billion-$144 billion. These six individuals have more wealth than the combined financial assets of the poorest 40 percent of the U.S. population". I wonder how those individuals feel about robbing the poor, creating misery, how they can even sleep at night knowing that the workers in their multimillion dollar company are scrambling for food. We go see the Christmas Story during Christmas. Now we know who are those Scrooges in our times..
(Minimum wage is $7.25, it is an annual income of $15,080)

Wonder why our kids get sick?

Monsanto is one of very very few companies that DON'T want you to know their product has been injected into our food supply. What are they afraid of? Why have they been working so hard in the last few decades to stack the deck in their favor within our judicial and Governmental systems? Monsanto has proven themselves as being deceptive for well over 50 years. As the saying goes; "The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior". Until we educate ourselves on what's going on, we can't begin to bring about positive change to this GLOBAL attack on life..

Over 800 scientists signed a petition, open letter to the government published in Institute of Science in Society ( http://www.i-sis.org.uk/list.php ) to stop distributing GMO for at least 5 years, to allow for more thorough testing.

Aztec Dancers at the Gates of Monsanto Kingdom


One of the most damn corporations in the world, responsible for letting lose such evil chemicals like Round up or agent orange which killed and crippled so many people during the Vietnam war, a giant corporation which is forcing genetically modified food on the world's population is finally under scrupulous watch of conscious people from all around the world. We all see the rise of obesity and diseases and strange allergies which are due to the fact that we are bombarded by unlabeled modified franken food. (by the way agent orange is now approved for use in US agriculture - it kills people!)

Whether you like it or not Monsanto controls the food supply chain in the world at the expense of democracy. Today people from over 400 cities will march against Monsanto on 6 continents!
