GMO Food

It's Worse Than We Thought

By S.A. Nickerson

Over the last decade, as genetically modified, or GMO, foods have increasingly taken over our food supply, we've been learning more about their dangers to our health.

Now, one courageous doctor is pointing to mounting evidence that leaves no doubt — GMO foods are even worse than we were told.

As this respected doctor points out in a riveting new presentation, no long-term human studies have ever supported GMO safety. Shockingly, the World Health Organization only requires a mere 90 days of testing to claim that GMOs are safe. Well, no one dies from smoking cigarettes within 90 days of starting to smoke, either!

Yet while lifetime studies still have not been done on humans, scientists have done these studies on animals — and what they found is stunning. Lab mice fed just a 33 percent GMO diet begin developing aggressive cancers (particularly breast cancer), liver failure, and kidney failure.

Shockingly, 50 percent of the males and 70 percent of the female animals on the GMO diet succumbed to early death at an age equivalent to 40 to 50 human years.

While more people have begun to fight back against GMOs, the big GMO companies spend millions of dollars to defeat laws that would require GMO labeling. Quite simply, these big companies know that GMO crops are cheaper to grow, and therefore more profitable.

In the meantime, many health experts now warn us to take the only positive action available to protect our health — avoiding GMOs as much as humanly possible. But considering the fact that GMOs are hidden in over 30,000 food products, that is not an easy task.

Fortunately, one courageous doctor has stepped up to the plate. Dr. Russell Blaylock, one of America's leading medical researchers and nutritionists, has created a special free video presentation that explains the hidden health hazards of GMOs. Dr. Blaylock will show you how to protect your family from GMOs and their dangers — aisle by aisle at the grocery store.

Dr. Blaylock's new video presentation exposes how GMO ingredients and other harmful additives are hidden on labels under safe-sounding names. In fact, you'll see some of the actual labels and find out what to watch for.

Bill Clinton's Doodles on Secret Documents as President Include Male Genitals

by Noah Rothman | 2:59 pm, December 5th, 2013

In February, the Bush family's personal emails were hacked by Guccifer, a hacker who uncovered photographs of former President George H. W. Bush in a hospital bed and George W. Bush's oil paintings in the process. It seems Guccifer has struck again, this time targeting former President Bill Clinton and the Clinton Library. The hacker has reportedly uncovered doodles of Clinton drawing on what were, at the time, classified documents. Among the doodles is apparently a picture of a penis.

The document uncovered is a briefing of the strategic measures the United States could take prior Clinton's decision to intervene in the civil unrest associated with the collapse of Yugoslavia in the mid-1990s. The briefing is covered in sketches, including an American flag, a chef with a frying pan, and an erect phallus.

The phallus appears next to the then-Sen. Bob Dole's name, which some have speculated could be Clinton's stream-of-consciousness reference to the Viagra commercials that the former GOP presidential nominee was featured in at the time.

The image of the chef with the words "U.N." on his jacket appears near a portion of the document that features the acronym "FRY" (Federal Republic of Yugoslavia).

Apparently, this was not the most captivating briefing Clinton ever attended.

Pearl Harbor Memories Fading With Time

John Andrew Prime, The (Shreveport, La.) Times

The message of Pearl Harbor has become muted with the passage of time and those who survived the attack.

SHREVEPORT, La. -- You could hardly escape reminders of it during World War II. And over the course of decades since, Dec. 7 has meant one thing to generations of Americans:

Pearl Harbor. Unprovoked attack. The need to be prepared.

But that message has become muted over the past few years by the thinning of the ranks of the men and women who survived the assault that Sunday morning on U.S. military facilities in Hawaii.

For the first time in years, a request to the community for news on remembrances or memorials, as well as calls to the largest American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars posts and the local War Veterans Home and veterans cemetery turned up nothing.

Former Louisiana state Sen. Jackson B. Davis, now 95, who was a Navy officer assigned to intelligence duties, says he has not been asked to talk to any groups this year. "That is unusual. I usually do."

"It's the same old story," Davis said, illustrating his point by taking it to an extreme. "We don't hear much about Gettysburg anymore, or Bunker Hill. Or when the Normans took over England — we don't hear much about that."

Davis is one of only three known Pearl Harbor survivors still alive in Shreveport-Bossier City.

"There's not many of us left to think about it," Davis said.

In 1991, at least two dozen local Pearl Harbor survivors received commemorative medallions belatedly authorized by Congress for the 50th anniversary of the attack. The delay was largely because of a general feeling that defeats are not celebrated, no matter how great their historic importance.

Tactically, Pearl Harbor was a U.S. defeat. In all, more than 2,400 soldiers, sailors and Marines were killed and almost 1,200 wounded, as well as more than 1,000 civilians, most of them by U.S. anti-aircraft artillery shells landing in residential areas.

In all, eight battleships were sunk or damaged so badly it took years for them to be repaired. Two, including the USS Arizona, were total losses. In addition, 10 other major ships were heavily damaged. In addition, 165 airplanes were destroyed.

Japanese losses numbered 185 airmen and sailors, 29 aircraft, five mini-submarines and a large submarine.

But the Japanese miscalculated. Their primary target, the U.S. Navy's aircraft carriers, were out of the harbor on exercises. And when initial reports of success and fear that a response by U.S. forces was imminent led to cancellation of a planned third strike, the Imperial Japanese navy left largely undamaged the vital fuel tank farms and submarine facility at Pearl Harbor.

The carriers, their vital fuel intact, and the long arm of the submarine fleet would take the war home to the Japanese. What began at Pearl Harbor ended with Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It took almost four years, but Pearl Harbor ended up as a strategic victory for the United States

So why is this important U.S. military event of the 20th century fading in the popular memory? It could be that 2013 marks an irregular anniversary, 72 years. That doesn't convey the same urgency as a 50th or 75th anniversary. More likely, observers say, the culprit is time.

"In the 1920s, there were still reunions of Confederate veterans. But in the 1930s, there were very few of them left," Shreveport historian Gary Joiner said. "In fact, the last reunion was held here. People remember that because these were the guys who experienced it." When the last of these men died in the 1950s, there was a great resurgence of interest in that conflict, "and then it came too late."

Joiner sees a parallel with World War II veterans, especially Pearl Harbor survivors, veterans of the oldest and most significant part of U.S. involvement. "With World War II, we're losing so many veterans every day that we are seeing the same type of thing. It's almost a natural progression, from current events to memory to history."

As with the Civil War veterans, the work of preserving and processing the story of the Pearl Harbor veterans will shift to others.

"Now it's going to be the place of the professional historians and good amateur historians to come in and do for World War II veterans what was done in the late 1950s and since to the Civil War," Joiner said. The parades may stop, but the assessment will continue."

Donna Curtis, head of Shreveport Green, looks after her father, Pearl Harbor veteran William Banks.

The 99-year-old, who like many other local Pearl Harbor survivors has had his photos and memories preserved through R.W. Norton Art Foundation's continuous oral history program, was a lieutenant in charge of artillery protecting Pearl Harbor from attack by ships.

Curtis said her father, who broke his hip several weeks ago, remains active but unlike past years has not been asked to take part in any Pearl Harbor remembrances.

Curtis said she can understand why younger people may have trouble relating to World War II, which for people age 30 or younger might as well have been part of Roman Empire history.

"If you think about it, most of the kids today wouldn't know what you were talking about if you ask them about Vietnam, and we lost so many people in that one," she said. "They don't know about the Korean War. And World War II was huge, compared to those, and it was so personal to us. The country was so full of patriotic fervor. People wanted to serve. They would lie about their age to get in."

Shawn Bohannon — a military historian, author and archivist — also is an Air Force veteran of the nation's most recent conflicts. With time, those conflicts andveterans also will recede into the dim mists of time.

"It's just part of the natural aging process, the passage of history," he said.

I Can't Believe They Let You Do That!

Bill Whittle explains how places like California are ruining any sense of liberty, and are also taking away the fun of living in the land of Fruits & Nutz

It's a free country, but not so much in California, where there's:

"No fires, no parking, all animals must be on a leash, no photography, camping not permitted, no lifeguard on duty, penalties will apply, permit required.  Gun free zone, noise ordinance enforced.  Fly quietly, minimum altitude 1000 feet.  No ATV's, personal watercraft prohibited, wake limit strictly enforced, plastic bags no longer available, tow-away zone.  Fishing permit required, environmentally sensitive area, no dogs allowed, se habla espanol."

Kansas community ordinance challenges Fourth Amendment
By Travis Perry / December 6, 2013

OSAWATOMIE, Kan. — After ruling earlier this year that city residents aren't capable of safely managing furniture on their own front porch, one Kansas community is considering taking its control of residents lives to the next level: mandated governmental inspections.

That could soon be the reality for the thousands of people living in the more than 20,000 rental units across Lawrence if city commissioners approve an expansion of its rental licensure ordinance.

The city already has a process through which tenants or landlords can request inspections if they suspect some kind of problem, but the new proposal would make such action compulsory.

As it stands, the ordinance would require landlords to register their properties to the tune of about $25 annually per location. Additionally, once every three years 10 percent of a landlord's properties would be subject to mandatory searches by city building inspectors looking for major and minor health and safety violations — regardless of whether a tenant occupies the property. If no major violations are found, the given property will be bumped to a six-year inspection cycle as incentive.

Read the full ordinance here.
http://www.lawrenceks.org/assets/agendas/cc/2013/12-03-13/pl_rental_licensing_ord_8840.pdf

The program itself has existed in some form for more than a decade, but so far it has been relegated to a relatively small portion of the city. But up for grabs now is a proposal that would expand the measure across the municipality, and into the living rooms of countless residents. While officials argue the ordinance is to combat slum lords and improve "life safety," opponents are saying the measure could pose a significant threat to Fourth Amendment rights.

Inspectors would be tasked with documenting through photographs and video any violations they find. Of course, there's no telling what else could be caught in the scope of an inspector's lens, and whether that information could make it into the hands of local law enforcement.

While the measure was set to come up for a vote Tuesday, an outpouring of opposition pushed city officials to table the measure for a few more weeks. A significant number of those voicing concern referenced a similar 2009 ordinance enacted — and later repealed — in Kansas' other big college town, Manhattan.

Only months before the program's demise in 2011, a Manhattan city inspection resulted in several college students being hauled before a municipal judge to face a litany of code violations. The young adults were sentenced to 15 days in jail, but they ultimately received nine months' probation, contingent upon further compliance.
Aside from the privacy intrusion, the measure would also constitute a significant expansion of local government staff and spending. City officials estimate they would need to hire five full-time inspectors, as well as an administrative staffer, to handle the influx of bureaucracy associated with the ordinance. The projected cost associated with this is about $400,000.
But never mind the fact that the program isn't financially sound.
A 2012 city audit concluded the current, limited program and fee schedule is woefully inadequate. Over a two-year period, auditors concluded that registration revenue — totaling about $40,000 — covered less than half of the salary and benefit costs associated with the program, instead sloughing the majority of the cost onto general revenues.
So, naturally, auditors suggest the city simply expand. Oh, and they also say commissioners should hike up the fee to $40 annually, though it's not reflected in the proposal's current form.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Kansas and Western Missouri announced recently it plans to launch an investigation into privacy threats posed by the ordinance, legal director Doug Bonney noted in a letter to city officials in late November. Bonney told Kansas Watchdog he had heard city code officials would — or could — pressure landlords into compelling their tenants to sign consent forms permitting inspections.
The matter raises questions about whether consent is truly voluntary, Bonney said.
A federal appeals court in 2007 upheld an earlier challenge to the city's limited rental licensing program.
