Last Hope

The Federal Reserve is cheating the people by mysteriously losing 9 trillion dollars of taxpayer money. President Bush cheated the people by starting fictitious wars. Obama cheats the people by being weak against insidious corporations. Cheney cheated the people by ignoring the US Constitution. Republicans and Democrats alike cheat the people. The Shadow Government cheats the people. Big banking is cheating the people. Military planners are cheating the people. Private para-military armies can`t wait to start cheating the people. Pharmaceutical Corporations are cheating the people with pills that don't work. Big agro is cheating the people by engineering Frankenfood. Hospitals cheat the people. Developers cheat us. Mainstream Media is cheating the people by allowing truth to be manipulated.

The government is now surveilling us from many angles. Every email, every telephone message is read or heard by someone, and if certain keywords are present, will be identified as from YOU. Apple sends your voice mail to a data center in North Carolina for conversion to text and retains a copy for Homeland Security. Microsoft is starting to send everything you save to their `cloud` for safekeeping, except from those who want to see exactly what you save. And you can't encrypt your data. Facebook allows federal police to cross reference all your info. Police are beginning to use drones to fly over and watch your homes and neighborhoods, now armed with specialized sensors and weapons.

Of course they are doing all this with good reason. It is known that certain people in the world have decided, rightly or wrongly, that 6 billion (latest fact - 7 billion) in our world is 5.5 billion too many. That's too many people who are stretching the world`s resources too far. 500 million would be the optimum amount of people for sustainability.

How do we take down this overbalance of humanity? Wars are good. Famine is good, if a bit heartbreaking. Disease is good, if controlled. Natural disasters are great if they can be targeted to specific areas of heavy population. Assuming any of this will become possible, and it takes out huge portions of a populace only clinging to a meagre life anyway, what about the remainder. What about going a little further?

I'm talking about North America now.
Will someone decide on a series of culls of delineated people? Say anyone who can't control their weight and simply is known to eat too much? We can't afford to feed the greed of these waddlers. Dope smokers who won't get jobs will disappear, subjects of a dope sniffing drone that fires a laser which follows the pot contaminated air right into the windpipe of the inhaler! Fried! Cigarette smokers won't be tolerated because of their eventual hospital costs. Bitchers and complainers need to go too. No one wants to hear it day in and day out. Yes, naturally certain political beliefs have to go. There will be no room for a Rhinoceros Party even in a casual democracy. Criminals will have no mercy in Future World. Who wants to waste valuable time with courts and justice systems when the perp walked out of the store with a gun and a bag of money? You say the Bloods and Cripps and Columbian drug traffickers are resident in that building? Whoosh! The building is gassed to kill everything in it. Solved; an irritant to the Plan. And there are certain racial groups with genes in common. Which can be identified and singled out. Harvard researchers developing genome-scale editing tools as fast and easy as word processing can rewrite the genome of living cells using the genetic equivalent of search and replace. What does that mean?

Wow, only a billion undesirables left to get rid of. But wait, the people are figuring out, in spite of secrecy and stealth, that The Plan is ongoing. The implementers can't blame sunspots, or global change or Gaea Theory anymore. The Earth isn't doing this, someone else is. Now it's getting down to the crunch.
Will the military power obey the plan? The Generals will, of course, but will the noble soldier raid and kill his own citizens on command? We know that Xe will follow orders. They are mercenaries. Hired guns with itchy trigger fingers who simply enjoy murder. But a US Marine instructed to attack and kill in New York or Alabama or California? That is an unknown. The problem with Evil is always that Good rises for the fight.

Except that we might have all believed the evil WAS the good as the world's population was being reduced. Except we are now coming home and subject to a final 'cleanup'. The Good has become the Evil.

So then we've got the NRA, the National Rifle Association, with 4.3 million members, and Charlton Heston who might still be holding onto his weapon. And the Minutemen, reviving themselves all across America right now. Militia movements are reorganizing, restructuring and connecting with each other. And there are those lifelong rebels and rabblerousers who just won't go along with any Plan. Quiet men who won't be led, and who possess the caution of moonshiners when it comes to outsiders. And we alsoknow that a huge part of the US population has guns. Three hundred million of them (2021 est 600M)  with tons of ammo too. And these groups all believe fervently in the second amendment;  "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed." ... and there are hundreds of thousands of men and women who know exactly why that amendment was introduced. 

The Founders of the US Constitution added the 2nd Amendment so that when, after a long train of abuses, a government evinces a methodical design upon American's natural rights, they will have the means to protect and recover those rights. That is why the right to keep and bear arms was included in the Bill of Rights.
In fact, if we make the judgment that our rights are being systematically violated, we have not merely the right, but the duty, to resist and overthrow the power responsible. That duty requires that we always maintain the material capacity to resist tyranny, if necessary, something that it is very hard to do if the government has all the weapons. Therefore a strong case can be made that it is a fundamental duty of the free citizen to keep and bear arms.

So what is that last hope?  It might be outspoken and sometimes considered outrageous men like Ted Nugent. Who would most certainly champion others in a resistance to an oligarchy in the US Government. Or the Minutemen, who would also have a loose connection to each other. And yes, even though poor rocker Ted expresses his love for the USA and a willingness to uphold a law abiding country by use of arms, he would be far too dangerous and taken out rather quickly. But that action and others like it, targeting true patriots who would not believe in the so called Patriot Act, could start a domino effect. Yes civil war from within in the name of liberty.

Would the last hope of freedom loving people be the ones they shun now?
Maybe.

Have a listen to Ted Nugent here and see if you can disagree with him?




 

Are you gonna cheer for Ted now?

Back to the Future

Canada promised 300 million dollars to Afghanistan a while ago. Last week they pledged another 227 million to aid in the transformation of the country when the Americans pull out. Of course, the Canadians said it was on the condition that the millions were used in the peaceful transition and not to go to the Taliban.
Whoever made that announcement was not asked by our controlled media what exactly our government would do IF it was seen as money going into the enemy coffers. Does Canada expect they will give it back if it disappears into the corrupt Karzai government? Most countries in the so called coalition have also dedicated millions.

Karzai was in exile once, and when the US decided to go into Afghanistan to 'get bin Laden' they brought back Karzai and installed him as a US friendly leader. It has not worked at all. And many expect Karzai to get the hell out of there with the last troops, probably with his pockets stuffed with Western dollars.


After all these years of seeing brave Canadian, British and US soldiers lose their lives in their prime, fighting a lost cause, nothing has been accomplished. The West is barely able to defend itself in the secure zones of the main town of Kabul! The Taliban rules the rest of the country. When there is a concentrated effort against them, they simply retreat, and go somewhere else for awhile. They are not going away and are simply waiting to get their country back. And most analysts, unless they are spinning the preferred line, agree.

Afghanistan is still the world's supplier of heroin. It is estimated that 90% of the drug on Britain`s streets is Afghan. The poppy crops are larger than ever. Despite ten years of 'occupation' by Western troops. Production of the class-A drug by Afghan farmers rose between 2001 and 2011 from just 185 tons to a staggering 5,800 tons. It increased by 61 per cent last year alone! Fueling speculation that it is the CIA that has become the world's largest drug dealer.

Does anyone believe that the women and girls of Afghanistan will continue their emancipation into a fair and democratic society?  Doing all the things other women in the world are able to do? Will young girls in that country continue an education that so threatens the Taliban that they don't hesitate to blow up the primitive schools (built by Canadians) with all those children still in them? 

And just a day ago, a 22 year old woman was publicly executed on the street for adultery amid cheers from bystanders! Keep in mind that adultery in a Taliban world is just talking to or walking with another man. Even rape is adultery. Sharia law is the rule. The future looks bleak in Afghanistan. Some believe that the only reason the US has troops left there at all is to nurture the drug trade. 
Karzai of course, ordered a manhunt for the killer. As if.

So throwing money into the pit of vipers who will use it to attack anyone within their realm is just wrong. So far there is something like 20 billion dollars dedicated to aid Afghanistan. The question of what exactly is aid, goes unanswered.

The only thing that seems sure is that the future of Afghanistan will again be 100 years back.

Suspicions confirmed?

Soon to be conspiracy theory confirmed? Do certain agencies need to destroy RIM to get its patents?
A new article from Reuters feeds a little more information to us about the threat RIM presents to spy agencies, including Homeland Security et al.

http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/06/29/us-rim-options-idUSBRE85S04J20120629

The idea, is that RIM being a Canadian company with products using its own operating system, accessed from its own world-wide network, using unbreakable encryption, is a threat to spy agencies that want to do their usual spying, that is of course, as they are doing now; to hear everything you say while making a cell call, and read every email and see every photo you send from that smart-phone.

from Reuters -
One of the options for RIM is to abandon its own operating system and adopt Microsoft's upcoming Windows 8. Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer had approached RIM in recent months, looking to strike a partnership similar to the one the software giant has with Nokia Oyj. Under that partnership, Nokia will use Microsoft's latest Windows operating system on its smartphones.
 
 The suspicion of course, is that Microsoft, having sold out years ago to the US Government, (read #2 below) wants to help their controllers get rid of RIM's encrypted operating system and replace it with one more friendly to surveillance by governments. Like Windows 8.

Reuters again -
RIM could also look for Microsoft to buy a stake in the company and fund marketing and other expenses, the sources said. However, this option is not attractive to RIM because it would mean the end of the Waterloo, Ontario-based company's technology independence, they said.

Yes, an end to unspyable software. And here is the real clue -

the meat -
Microsoft could also be interested in RIM's wireless patents, the sources said.

In our opinion,  there has been a world wide effort to sink RIM or at the least, get it under the control of Microsoft. Where all its hardware and software can be manipulated by certain factions of the FBI, NSA and CIA. As all of Microsoft's Operating systems now are. Remember after the Bill Gates Microsoft meeting with US Officials how that unique number was added to all computers running Windows? And there was an outcry? And it was then made turn-off-able. But they left the unique number of your hard drive there anyway. As if any spy agency needs it anymore with Facebook funneling your information straight into a cross referencing database.
And Microsoft Windows and Android are not alone. Apple owners using SIRI send every call through a central conversion house to make it text. Readable by whomever.

Canadian icon RIM is desperately trying to hold on and recover from its problems, however, when you have this much trouble, fomented by organizations secretly working against you, it will be very hard to do. And shareholders clamoring to feed their greed doesn't help either.

Jim Flaherty, Canada's Finance Minister has refused to be drawn into whether the United States has expressed any reservations about possible bids from outside North America, given the importance of RIM to communications security. The Pentagon is RIM's biggest customer.

That oughta tell you all you need to know about RIM's true value.

Black Boxes coming.

File under New World Order. 
You might as well start remembering it, it's going to be a big part of your life ..... er ... but not in a good way. 
The UK is about to force ALL internet and phone companies to install a government controlled Black Box that EVERY web transmission or telephone cell call will pass through, gathering encrypted data of what you said or wrote, and storing the data for scrutiny to see if you are a criminal or terrorist.

Of course they are saying they need to do this to 'protect' the people from terrorists and criminals.  The police will monitor it all to keep you safe. Sort of like they are doing in the States. Reading every email. land line call, cell phone call, every email, every chat messenger post. Some are thinking that perhaps we need to be safe FROM the police. 

It has been revealed in a new book, Behind The Desert Storm, by former Russian researcher and archivist in the Kremlin, Pavel Strollov  that years ago, Mikhail Gorbachev and George HW Bush agreed on the New World Order idea. At the time they were trying to involve Saddam Hussein but the old Iraqi wouldn't go along with it unless it was open, not secret. I guess that was when the order came out to get rid of him. 
Strollov writes, 'Bush placed the New World Order above everything else ...' Of course the quote is out of context if you read the whole article or the book, but the point is lucid, yes? We heard similar comments from George Jr. It IS the intent of the Bushes and their Middle East family.


Stroilov, a historian now living in London, fled Russia in 2003 after stealing 50,000 top-secret Kremlin documents from the Gorbachev Foundation archives, where he was working as a researcher. He was given access to the archive in 1999, but Gorbachev refused him permission to copy its most significant documents. Having observed the network administrator entering the password into the system, Stroilov reproduced the archive and sent it to secure locations around the world.

But sorry if I got sidetracked with this. However you should know that the mechanics are moving ahead to have a one world government. Who controls it  would be the question. Whomever it is, it means black times ahead for millions. The New World Order is not going to be democratic. You can bet on that. 

It is not clear if WikiLeaks had anything to do with this. Strollov found safety in London after his furtive actions and open theft of secret Kremlin documents while Julian Assange was met with bitter hostility with his revelations that Hilary said some other ambassador was an asshole. And even in America, there was no enmity directed at Robert Novack, the Washington Times journalist who outed a working CIA operative in his column, Valerie Plame. But of course that was a prescribed scheme.

The current action by the British Government is just another jigsaw piece, designed to obscure the puzzle picture until it is too late to realize what it is.

In a statement about the black boxes a British Home Office spokesman said, 

"The communications data bill is designed to allow the police to maintain their capability to catch criminals and protect the public as technology changes and people use more modern communications. Under this programme the emphasis is to work with industry to determine the best way to achieve this.The legislation is currently being scrutinized by parliament. Once it has been passed will we work with companies on how to best collect and store communications data, but not the content."

Define criminal please. The people who are 'protecting' us are getting a little scary. 


I'm going back under my bed now, no one will find me there.

Call home in midflight on your cell - soon you can

Virgin Atlantic has just announced that you will be able to make cell phone calls in midflight from 20 of their planes!
Only six passengers at a time will be able to use the system, which the airline says is intended "for use in exceptional situations." Passengers will be able to send text messages, make a call or access email on mobile devices.
Initially, the service, on Airbus A330-300 planes which utilize a satellite connection, will only be available for customers of European cell phone providers O2 and Vodafone and U.S. carrier T-Mobile.  The new system - basically akin to a roving, airborne cell tower - features picocell technology provided by AeroMobile, and the vendor states that it doesn’t interfere with aircraft avionics.
(currently within 250 miles of US airspace it is not allowed to make a cell call)




There was no comment from the NSA, NORAD, CIA, the FBI, the Secret Service or any other government agency including the White House on how those mysterious in-air cell phone calls were supposedly made on September 11th, 2001 when it was considered by experts as impossible to do so at that time.




There was no comment from United Airlines either, who lost Flight 93 on September 11, 2001 into a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania after numerous passengers allegedly made cell phone* calls while being hijacked, including the infamous Mark Bingham call to his mother.

ET, call home.




*not to be confused with airphone calls.

IBM vs iPhone vs Blackberry

More reasons to encourage the use of Blackberry smart phones.
Blackberries are good. Apples are bad?
Evidently IBM doesn't trust Apple's iPhone.
They believe Apple's Siri,  is sending and compiling information from Apple users.  'When you use Siri or Dictation, the things you say will be recorded and sent to Apple in order to convert what you say into text,' Apple says. Siri collects a bunch of other information - names of people from your address book and other unspecified user data, all to help Siri do a better job. Yeah right.
Hmmm.
See for yourself - - - http://www.cnn.com/2012/05/23/tech/mobile/ibm-siri-ban/index.html?eref=mrss_igoogle_cnn

Of course this only adds more credibility to my previous post about the conspiracy to kill RIM.
Read it here - - -  http://bitchesnbelches.blogspot.ca/2011/10/researching-motion.html

Can Big Blue be wrong?  I usually don't trust them either, but when even they are worried about the suspected privacy actions of a competitor, I tend to listen.

Remember IBM's advice - - -

THIMK!

The Drones are coming

Drones are being allowed in American airspace.
What does this mean?
Let's see ....
You already know what the military does with drones in Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen  and probably several other countries. They are used for identification, surveillance and targeting of potentially hostile elements. The thing is, the drones used in these foreign operations are flown by regular US military pilots who do know what they are doing.

coming soon - to a sky near you

Recently, the US has allowed drone testing in 59 areas around Denver.  Each about 20 square miles. One of these wayward drones nearly brought down a corporate jet, a Cessna flying at 8,000 feet over Denver. Some analysts have suggested the near miss was as close as 170 FEET from the jet! These particular drones are being tested by the University of Colorado’s Center for Unmanned Aircraft Systems, which has FAA authorization.
This testing is being done because there is a congressional mandate to open U.S. airspace to drones by 2015. The FAA has announced procedures to  streamline the process through which government agencies, including local law enforcement, can receive licenses to operate unmanned aircraft at altitudes no higher than 400 feet. This applies as well to commercial and civil drones.

Scared yet?
Why Denver, the mile high city? Well let's see, if you test in the desert, 400 feet is not very high, but around Denver, you are already way up there, flying at a mile high plus 400.  ALL citizens of Denver are members of the Mile High club.
And if you've been keeping up, you KNOW there are all kinds of weird and wonderful things about the new Denver International Airport. Like what was built beneath it in complete secrecy?  Like why did the budget go from 1.7 billion to over 4.8 billion. 3.1 over! Why are there 8 underground levels?  Etc etc.
But back to the drones.

Once they have rules established, the FAA expects as many as 30,000 drones will be in American airspace in the coming years. And it has already been reported that drones operated by the police in Texas will be equipped with weaponry. It's just a matter of time, isn't it?

cute lil predator

Fox News contributor Anthony Napolitano boldly predicted, “The first American patriot that shoots down one of these drones that comes too close to his children in his backyard will be an American hero,” and others have wondered if this makes a frightened father a patriot or a terrorist?
Public safety agencies can now get expedited permission to fly drones weighing up to 25 pounds in U.S. airspace. Some exist at 4 pounds too! Notice they are calling them 'public safety' drones. Considering that some satellites can read the writing on your golf ball from space, these lil' gems will be able to see EVERYTHING you are doing, even under your roof with the shades down in the darkness. Did you forget about motion sensors and thermal imaging?
Nice that the government is looking out for us, isn't it. But have innocent people been targeted for 'suspicious' behavior?  Depends on who is doing the suspecting, doesn't it.

Meanwhile, sharpen your marksman skills, these little mosquitoes will be hard to hit.

facebook and you and you and you.

facebook has about 900 million subscribers worldwide.
There are about 300 million people in the United States. So for most subscribers in America, that means almost everyone is signed up except the Banjo Boy from Deliverance, that old kid suckling on the Time Magazine cover, and my senile Gramdpa who wants to use the Web to find his teeth.

Mark Zuckerberg, the owner of facebook, (correct lower case "f") is about to send it into public trading. His personal net worth is estimated at 24 billion dollars. That's BILLION! The value of the social networking site is guestimated to be valued at about $100 billion according to a Wall Street Journal report.
At least once a week, those nine hundred million people around the world use facebook. The site's revenue grew from $777 million in 2009 to $3.7 billion last year. And in the first quarter of 2012 it was more than $1 billion!

So who are these people participating so willingly in this Great Deception? 
Half of the Baby Boomers - the generation born in the years after World War II - have an account. And most of the 56 per cent of the country that’s on Facebook is young  -  two-thirds of Gen Xers and a huge 81 per cent of people 18-35 use the social networking site.
Conversely, it’s the rare senior citizen on Facebook. Just 21 per cent have signed up. One would like to think that us old folks have an inbred suspicion of someone who wants all that information about us. But it is more likely feeble fingers left over from the Great Depression.

Let's look at the information available on facebook.
When you sign up, you tell them; when and where you were born, (most police departments use DOB to differentiate one Mr Smith from another)  who your parents were, your mom's maiden name, where your family came from, where you live now, where you used to live, where you went to school, who your friends are, what you like to do, where you like to go, who you like, who you hang with, what you eat, what car you drive, what religion you are, where you work, shop and play. (take a breath here) who your family is and was, exactly what you look like right now, and did in the past. They even want to know what your dog was named when you were 10!

You no longer need to be captured by the CIA or the KGB and grilled or water-boarded for 72 hours for incriminating information. You have gleefully already provided it!
The privacy issue is the thing. Three of every five facebook users say they have little or no faith that the company will protect their personal information. Only 13 per cent trust facebook to guard their data. Even facebook’s most dedicated users are wary - half of those who use the site daily say they wouldn’t feel safe buying things on the network. But lately even the advertisers are saying no one clicks on their ads.

But it is not about purchasing from their advertisers is it? It is about surveillance of everything you do, and everyone you know.  When Homeland Security came into being, with it's accompanying Patriot Act, the FBI and other certain other government agencies recognized the fact that the web had the greatest potential for eavesdropping and eventual control of masses of people. The demographics were perfect too.
Who cares about those oldsters who went through a war fighting for country, peace and liberty? They're naturally suspicious of power anyway. The people who could become the threat to the powers-that-be are all standing there like lambs waiting their turn for the hammer. Sign me up. I'll tell you anything. And so they do. And Maxwell's Silver Hammer came down upon their heads.

And today there are whole stealthy corporations working for these government agencies who have bot readers, chat listeners, cross-referencing software, email filters and face recognition programs listening, reading and looking at you and your friends and working 24/7/365. And because YOUR ISP number goes through your server and even your computer has a unique hard drive code number, all YOUR info IS being read and noted and because the Patriot Act says so. And no company you deal with who has that information can NOT reveal it to the government.  It is the New World Order law. And without a search warrant, and without telling you that you are being watched or investigated.
There is not a police department in North America that doesn't use facebook for information. And most corporations peek into it too before hiring or dealing with you.

Match all this with Google Earth and Street View, and your front door is right there, directing anyone who cares, to your exact home. Do come in. Nice red door, matches the geraniums on your porch.

This is my old house,  >
when I was like, 10, on
Google Earth street view. (she was a Cocker Spaniel named Trixie) Someone could wonder why all the shades are down?  Hiding something? And what is that wire by the front door?  A booby trap?  What goes on in there? What was that about a bomb? I see the tenant read Rudyard Kipling once, you know what THAT says, don't you?
And you can't miss finding it, it is at 49 14'47.32" N by 123 06' 01.47" W, at elevation 264 ft. Maybe we need SWAT for this? Or Men in Black at 4:30 am.

And all because you posted that your girlfriend looked like a BOMBshell in that red clingy dress! The word-trigger clicked in and you may now be on a no fly list.
Never trust anyone who makes one billion dollars in three months.
Technology is wonderful, yes?
Well yes?

So - - -  24/7/365 huh? You might be able to escape on Feb 29th, 2016 but I have no idea where you can hide till then.

Suspicions and Watchers

9/11. So long ago. 2001.
Recently a story emerged from Reuters News Agency about human remains from that tragic date. These remains were supposed to be cremated by the U.S. Military's Main Mortuary. The remains supposedly came from the Pentagon and Pennsylvania crash site of one of the hijacked airliners.


Retired General John Abizaid who was in charge said it is unclear how many victim's partial remains were disposed of in this manner. And doubted there was a way to find out.
The incident is certain to further undermine the reputation of the Dover mortuary after last year’s revelations that it mishandled the remains of American war dead. This included losing body parts twice and allowing the partial remains of at least 274 soldiers to be dumped in a Virginia landfill.
The report suggested that the human remains from the Sept. 11 attacks - those that could not be tested or identified - were essentially treated as medical waste.

My post is not to tell you about these goings on, but the effort in following the story.
It was on a Google News page with the heading - Some September 11 dead's remains ended in landfill - the heading is underlined as an URL So clicking it should lead to the article in full.
Not so easy. It leads to a separate page, a 'redirect notice'. The ominous URL is now hugely long, taking two lines, with a separate URL below to return you to the previous page. Assuming you no longer want to learn about the story.
But is it an effort to discourage you from going to and reading the story? Almost like a warning.

Are the so called Watchers still active after 11 years? Watching every article about 9/11 and discouraging efforts to follow stories about 9/11?

Recently on CraigsList a few posts about the World Trade Center destruction disappeared after one day. Flagged and removed. This still happens on many other opinion forums.
Try it yourself, post an opinion about the 9/11 event, controversial or not, and watch it disappear almost immediately.

Suspicious minds will always pursue a thread, however thin, and the Watchers seem to be still on the job with efforts to thwart this inquisitiveness.
Some of us are still seeking the truth.
Some of them are still seeking to suppress it.

the article

Is it True? department

Is it true that a man named Michael R. Taylor, who is Deputy Commissioner for foods at the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) was once vice president for public policy for the Monsanto Company?
He is the first individual to hold the position, which was created along with a new Office of Foods in August 2009. But shouldn't being associated with Monsanto and considered a lobbyist automatically disqualify him from an important and influential post in food for American citizens? One sort of expected more of President Obama's administration.

It has been said that Mr. Taylor has written the rules regarding the inclusion of Genetically Modified Foods (GMOs) into the human food chain, and that they favor the Monsanto company products. Not to say Mr Taylor is up to anything bad, but if you're going to flock with a murder of crows you must expect suspicions.

The debate is just starting regarding GMOs and California is about to have a vote on a label notice regarding their inclusion in foodstuffs for public consumption. The public seems to be clamoring for information and it is said many companies will remove GMOs from their product rather than have to print the information on labels, so all is not black cloud, but people need to take interest and be aware!
Already there is research showing that injecting cows with Bovine Growth Hormone has dangerous effects on humans consuming that milk. Canada and Europe have banned the product.

It is all about our children, isn't it?
But the question remains: How does a former executive with a company such as Monsanto even have consideration for a position with the Food and Drug Administration?
The worried public are beginning to crow about things like that.

Shut Down the Web?

There is a protest going on today about censorship of the Web. You should already know the problem, if not, just Google - SOPA - and - PIPA - . The US Congress wants to end piracy of movies etc by websites. Even offshore if they are infringing US copyright.
At least that is the outward purpose. Some believe that certain politicians in America really want to control the media of the Web, for whatever purposes. The US Republicans who control the Senate want the legislation passed, and people like Rupert Murdoch are backing them. That should tell you something.

Google, Wikipedia (the fourth most visited website) Reddit, BoingBoing, Tucows, Identi.ca, are among many who have chosen to lodge their protests via blacking out their own websites or featuring a protest message! Others offering backing include Facebook, Twitter, Mozilla, Yahoo and eBay.

Shutting out companies that are offering pirated product could be done in other ways, without suppressing the internet servers totally. The Patriot Act and Homeland Security already have the capacity to infiltrate ISPs to get information about anyone. And without warrants. And without your knowledge. It is the law that your own ISP cannot even tell you they have downloaded information about you.
But it would take more effort to chase them down individually. Easier to punish everyone for crimes committed by the few.
The bonus is total control of media on the Web. This could be the true reason because most of those hawks of the right wing recognize the web as a most dangerous thing because of its ability of instant and uncontrolled communication.
That was proven long ago in Tianamin Square.

The RIAA, the Recording Industry of America got their way a few years ago, led by heavy metal band Metallica, because people were downloading copies of their, 'music'. We were all punished for that.
Yes its wrong but the result is that now every man, woman and child in North America pays a premium surcharge for BLANK tapes and blank CDs etc because you are deemed a criminal if you are purchasing these things and it is suspected by the RIAA that you will use them for the purpose of infringing copyright instead of paying for music. Even if you are buying them to record your grandchild's first words! The RIAA has had a huge windfall because of this collection of iniquitous fees.
(some would argue that the extra money you pay at the cash register to the RIAA is actually a licence to record whatever music you like, because that is why you are paying the fee)

So does it also mean that websites like NetFlix would have to charge more to every single subscriber because it would be assumed they are recording those movies for whatever reasons? And do you pay more at theaters because someone could sneak in a camcorder?

But then is it really about copyright infringement? Or is it another subterfuge step toward controlling what people hear, read and see on the Web.
A most dangerous place.

Dangerous for who though?

Success. Today, Jan. 20, the PIPA and SOPA anti-online privacy bills were halted by the US Congress after the Wikipedia protest! Although they have promised to continue to work at the bills and they are only a postponement for now. At any rate, it is a demonstration of how public opinion can change the direction of government. A huge win for freedom on the web.
