(Left/Above: the Trillions that they rake in in Usury every year allow the Bankers to hire endless numbers of fools in pretty suits to explain it’s all for the greater good and they have their media parade these people before an ever more desensitized public. This particular specimen, Fine Gael Senator Martin Conway, while trying to sell water meters to the Irish, managed to say on television ‘water does not just fall out of the sky, you know’.)
The Enclosure of the Commons is an ongoing process, in which the peoples of the World are disowned from their natural heritage. Paying for their own land, their own water and soon their own sunlight and air. It’s an integral part of our complete enslavement. Continue reading “How Usury Encloses The Commons”

In an effort to help consumers make smart food decisions and not be strong armed into choosing edibles produced by a select few shady mega-corporations like Monsanto, No Patents on Seeds! has made significant strides. The coalition made tremendous headway when they, along with Nunhems/Bayer CropScience, filed petitions against Monsanto regarding the GMO giant’s tomato patent. Ultimately, Monsanto’s patent was revoked by the European Patent Office (EPO) — not because the EPO initiated it, but because they agreed to Monsanto’s request to do so.(1)
The reason for the patent not going through is, unfortunately, not much of a surprise. Continue reading “Monsanto’s fraudulent tomato patent revoked by patent office”

WASHINGTON — The F.B.I. and Justice Department prosecutors have recommended bringing felony charges against David H.
