Get to Know the Common Core Marketing Overlords

     From Michelle Malkin via CNS News.  Please don't dismiss this article because you may not agree with the author's politics.  She realizes the problem is bipartisan and proves it with facts in this article.
  
     "The foundational myth of Common Core is that it's a "state-led" initiative with grassroots support that was crafted by local educators for the good of all of our children. But the cash and power behind the new ad campaign tell you all you need to know."
   
     "As they prop up astroturfed front groups and agitprop, D.C.'s Common Core p.r. blitzers scoff at their critics as "black helicopter" theorists. Don't read their lips. Just follow the money. This bipartisan power grab is Washington-led and Washington-fed. It's not a conspiracy. It's elementary: All Common Core roads lead to K Street [lobbyists and 'think tanks']."

Democracy is Broken: Here's How to Fix It

From Carolyn Moynihan at MercatorNet:
     The first element is virtue. Self-government does not begin at the ballot box, even if the ballot is citizen initiated and accessible via the internet. It begins with people who know how to govern themselves – to obey their conscience, to delay gratification, to do the good that is difficult – and this is precisely what has been undermined in democracies where the state has grown by the political process of buying power with ever-extending handouts and entitlements. 
     The second element is the family. It is in the family that the individual learns the virtues basic to a democratic society: in addition to those already mentioned, responsibility, justice and respect for the freedom of others. But this can only happen in a family that has not had its authority snatched away by an intrusive state and its favorite experts.

Nine Dirty Little Secrets About GMOs

     This article by Robyn O'Brien in Huffington Post caused panic in the biotech industry and O'Brien was viciously criticized by industry shills; however, as WWII bomber crews used to say, you can tell when you're right over the target because of all the flak you take.  The article is factual, brief enough to read quickly, yet accurate enough to decimate all of the biotech industries claims about GMOs.  Instead of offering highlights to you, please read it here.

"The Food Cure": Crowdfunding on Kickstarter a Success

     "With 14 days to go, Sarah Mabrouk, Amy Thommasson and her Upwind Pictures team raised over $75,000 on their kickstarter campaign, surpassing their $68,000 minimum, to fund their film’s post-production costs.  The project met their goal on February 14th – a very nice Valentine’s day gift.  Their $98,000 stretch goal will cover editing, sound design and color correction for their documentary, “The Food Cure.”  The film documentary illuminates a controversial nutritional therapy, based on the idea that strengthening the body’s own immune system will enable the immune system to detect and independently kill cancer cells."

Can Judges Redefine Reality? In Virginia, Yes Indeed!

     In yet another example of a judge being totally ignorant to the supreme law of the land, U.S. District Court Judge Arenda L. Wright Allen wrongly attributed the line “all men are created equal” to the Constitution when it in fact appears in the Declaration of Independence. 
     The decision also showed us that denial of reality in the U.S. is becoming almost impermeable.
     "It is an exercise of raw judicial power that shares in the coercive attempt to reconstitute reality for the benefit of those who require an alternate reality to rationalize their behavior."
     Read the article from MercatorNet here.

Denial of reality on the marriage issue is becoming almost impermeable. Self-reinforcing decisions from one federal court to another are weaving together a skein of an alternate reality in which we will all soon be required to participate. - See more at: http://www.mercatornet.com/articles/view/can_judges_redefine_reality_in_virginia_yes#sthash.qICdAf4W.2SOvgbJU.dpuf

The War on Humans

     Are humans the enemy? Should pigs and peas have constitutional rights? "The War on Humans" is a 31-minute documentary that critiques the growing efforts to disparage and create a dictatorship over humans in the name of saving the planet. The documentary from Discovery Institute investigates the views of anti-human activists who want to grant legal rights to animals, plants, and "Mother Earth," and who want to reduce the human population by up to 90%.

No to GMOs: The Global Conspiracy to Keep You From Knowing the Truth About Your Food

     He's back.  Even though he seems to be glancing over his shoulder expecting Monsanto lawyers to haul him away at any moment, Dr. Oz finally found the courage to condemn both GMO food and the corporate conspiracy that prevents the labeling of GMOs in our food. Actually, at one point he looks pointedly into the camera and slowly repeats the standard FDA disclaimer on GMOs; he's obviously preparing his defense for future lawsuits filed by the food industry to silence him--part of the conspiracy.
     Additionally, his main objection carefully centers on only one of the damaging facets of genetically engineered crops: they have increased pesticide use on industrial farms from 1 million pounds per year to 100 million pounds per year.  The damage that facet alone incurs on human health is, of course, reason enough to avoid eating any foods containing GMOs.  Even Dr. Oz admits it!

Why I'm Making a Documentary About the Gerson Therapy: The Food Cure

Journalist Sarah Mabrouk via The Gerson Institute:

    "Listening to the radio in NYC one day, I heard a quote from Charlotte Gerson in which she claimed that a ‘cure for cancer’ had been found many years ago.
    "Obviously, I knew for a fact that this wasn’t true, and this outrageous statement made me furious.
    "Two of my closest friends are oncologists. Not only do I deeply admire their brilliance and incredible dedication, I have personally witnessed their suffering each and every time they lose a patient.
    "Despite the extraordinary advances in technology and drug research; despite the great scientific minds and the billions of dollars that have been thrown at this problem in the last century, today my friends still can’t save many of their patients."

     She set out to expose an alternative cancer clinic preying on cancer victims at the most vulnerable moment of their lives.  However, the facts this talented international investigative journalist discovered changed her mind.

NBC Commentator Claims Wardrobe Shows Support for LGBTs. Really?

 
     OK, so Russia needs a lesson in Gay tolerance? How about our close ally Saudia Arabia?  The male commentator would be executed there this Friday for showing his support.  Also, the 'rebels' in Libya and Syria that we finance and arm would 'oppress' him, to put it mildly, not to mention a dozen other governments that the US considers allies.  Yet not one word about our allies' intolerance! 
     Learn the truth about Russia's "Anti-Gay" laws below:

"Dig" from Sundance Film Festival

This nine-minute video is something of an ink-blot test on Liberty.  It's fascinating to see who gets it and who doesn't.  I love the ending!

Amish Farm Leads the Way to Local Food Security

From Future Growing:   
     "When you hear about a farm that supplies all-natural, sustainable produce, using 90% less water and 90% less land, one that utilizes the most advanced vertical aeroponic technology on earth, you surely would not guess it would be an Amish farm. Yet in Topeka, Indiana, you cannot get produce that is more local, fresh, healthy, and sustainable — even in the middle of an Indiana blizzard — like you can get at Sunrise Hydroponics, an Amish farm.
     "Sunrise Hydroponics is owned and operated by husband-and-wife team Marlin and Loretta Miller on their rural farm in Topeka. I have had the privilege of working with the Amish community for more than half a decade, and have come to learn that, while their lives seem simple to many outsiders, their homes, farms, and businesses are highly innovative. The Amish utilize cutting-edge and creative forms of technology to improve their lives, while still falling within the guidelines of their belief system."

If You Like Your Religion, You Can Keep Your Religion

From MercatorNet:   
     "As we all know now, when President Obama repeatedly preached the tenet, "If you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan," what he really meant was that you could keep your insurance, not if you liked your plan, but if he liked it...
     "To appease faith-based-community organizers, Obama promised a future "accommodation" giving himself cover to proclaim in effect: If you like your religion, you can keep your religion.  As we all know now, what he really meant was that you can keep your preexisting religion, if he likes it. For example, several large companies and unions received waivers from the Affordable Care Act because the Obama administration believes in their cause...or something...
     "Not only did Team Obama refuse to grant Little Sisters of the Poor a waiver, the nuns are not considered religious enough to receive a religious exemption because they have the audacity to serve non-Catholics.  That's right. A non-profit organization of chaste nuns who care for the indigent and elderly in nursing homes are not religious enough for an exemption to the contraception mandate because they don't turn away people based on their religion."
     "...Team Obama wants to force Little Sisters to pay for something which Planned Parenthood eagerly gives away for free."

2014 Grammy Awards: Still Pushing the Illuminati Agenda

     The 2014 Grammy Awards featured a black magic witchcraft ritual disguised as a Katy Perry performance. Beyonce also showcased a little escapade proving that public masturbation, S&M and voyeurism are the new normal.  Surprised? You shouldn't be. This agenda has been going on for years.  Hopefully, a growing number of people are noticing that it's not just that 'something' is wrong with the music industry, but that it actually promotes a very specific set of attitudes and values.  Know what a "Beta Kitten" is?  Know what and where the "devil horse" is?  Ready for Disney's "Maleficent?"  Read more here.   And here.  And "Jay Z is a poor excuse for a husband" here.

Shock: NBC's Today Show Airs Report on Non-GMO Shopping

From Mikael Thalen at Storyleak:    
     A surprising segment on NBC’s Today show gave tips on how to avoid GMO foods while shopping last week, an issue receiving increased mainstream coverage due to rising public interest in healthy eating.
     While subtle attempts to paint genetically modified foods as completely safe are present in the video’s opening, the report’s main focus centers on the push for GMO labeling as well as recent moves by the food industry to satisfy non-GMO consumers.

Post Grape-Nuts Goes GMO Free!!!

     The monolith is beginning to crumble!  Responding to consumer demand, Post Foods has not only announced that its popular cereal Grape-Nuts will be free of GMOs beginning this month, but also, unlike Cheerios, Post has confirmed that they will seek third-party verification of this cereal's non-GMO status.  Additionally, they are exploring the possibility of other Post cereals going non-GMO!
     Here is an excerpt of Post's announcement to GMO Inside
     The company wrote the following in response to a request from GMO Inside: “We have an exciting update for you. Post has released a non-GMO verified Grape Nuts that is on the store shelves as of January, 2014. Also, we are exploring some of our other cereals to see if there is potential going forward to add more non-GMO verified products to the Post Foods product line. We are always listening to our consumers and looking for ways to provide a good variety of products.”  Post’s move closely follows that of General Mills, which released non-GMO original Cheerios in early January, though Cheerios is not third-party verified.

US Supreme Court Hands Monsanto Dominion Over Family and Organic Farmers

     "Fascism should rightly be called Corporatism, as it is the merger of corporate and government power."--Benito Mussolini.

     Americans barely noticed as the US Supreme Court moved us yet another giant step closer to fascism. The court upheld Monsanto's right to sue farmers for damages and infringement if and when Monsanto's GM seeds inadvertently contaminate the non-GM farmers fields!  In short, the court ruled that the non-GM farmers case, seeking protection from Monsanto's predatory lawsuits, was unnecessary since Monsanto, the court claimed, has promised not to sue in such cases.  In reality, Monsanto has already filed at least 140 lawsuits against farmers whose crops were contaminated by Monsanto's seeds and settled out of court more than 700 times!

UPDATE on previous entry: HuffPo CENSORS Anti-GMO Comments from Bartolotto Article!!!

UPDATE 1/14/14:  Huffington Post reposted Bartolotto's article as the lead story at  their "Food for Thought" section, in order to increase its exposure and make amends.  However, by the end of the business day, the article was moved to the side bar.
UPDATE 1/13/14:  Carole Bartolotto received an apology from a weekday "moderator" at the Huffington Post. Apparently, the weekend "moderator" was unabashedly pro-GMO!  They are now publishing most comments, including several responses from Carole pointing out the flaws of the critical comments. Take another look at the article, "The Anti-Science Behavior of GMO Proponents", to read her use of facts in rebutting claims in the comments box!

 As of this writing, the comments editor at the Huffington Post is blocking comments supportive of Carole Bartolotto's article and negative comments about GMOs!!!  Members of GMOFreeUSA first noticed this censorship; several members tested the situation by writing pro-GMO comments, which were immediately posted, while their anti-GMO comments were not posted.  When they submitted a request for an explanation, they received this reply:

We appreciate your patience while we work to fulfill your request.
To see if your problem has already been reported ("Known Issues") or to search our FAQs please go to: http://help.huffingtonpost.com
If your comment has been removed and you don't know why, the most common reason is that it contained an attack against another user, individual or group. You can read our comment guidelines at: https://help.huffingtonpost.com/.../23078933-Commenting
Thanks,
The HuffPost Community Support TeamThanks for reaching out to the Community Support desk!


     When another member tried to post a link in the comments section to a GM Watch article article by Prof. David Schubert of the Salk Institute in which he condemns the retraction of the Seralini study and voices his own concerns about GMOs, she received this reply:
"Due to the potentially sensitive nature of this article, your comment may take longer to appear publicly."  They have still not posted it, and actually banned this person from further comments!
     By posting an article critical of GM methods but then only allowing comments that ridicule the article and anti-GMO positions, corporate media keeps the illusion of presenting both sides of the issue.
