Hemp ccAgainst Crony Capitalism – by Nick Sorrentino

Hemp for those who don’t know is the male of the cannabis plant. The female plant is what contains THC, the substance that gets one high. Hemp is just an amazing industrial product.

If one has ever had a shirt or a piece of rope made from hemp one is struck by its durability. Much more durable than cotton for instance. It is tough but also soft. It has a million uses, from paper to building material. However for years the drug war (not to say cotton producers and producers of chemical based products such as Nylon) have gotten in the way of the legal cultivation of this very useful plant.   Continue reading “The GOP led effort in the House and Senate to legalize hemp nationwide”

Is it any surprise that the swine of biotech and the infiltrated USDA are trying to create GMO pigs?

An unfunded cooperative agreement between the USDA’s Agricultural Research Service (ARS) and a currently unnamed corporation plans to address the ‘boar taint problem’ which causes a pig’s meat to smell of male reproductive organs by altering a pig’s genome. Yep – GMO pigs are in the making, all because the male pigs have an ‘offensive odor’ that can make their meat ill-fit for market.   Continue reading “GMO Pigs Coming Soon with Help of USDA and Biotech”

American Sniper is directed by Clint Eastwood, and tells the story of Chris Kyle, a US Navy Seal who served four tours of duty in Iraq as a sniper credited with 160 confirmed “kills”, and earning him the dubious honor of being lauded the most lethal sniper in US military history.

Played by Bradley Cooper, in the movie Kyle is an all-American hero, a Texas cowboy who joins the military out of a sense of patriotism and a yearning for purpose and direction in his life. Throughout the ‘uber-tough’ selection process, Kyle is a bastion of stoicism and determination, willing to bear any amount of pain and hardship for the honor of being able to serve his country as a Navy Seal – America’s equivalent of the Samurai.   Continue reading “Hollywood uses ‘American Sniper’ to destroy history & create myth”

Yellowstone National Park’s bison population is about to start getting much smaller, as the park has reportedly sent at least 200 bison to slaughter in an effort to cull the winter population by approximately 900 animals.

The statistics come from an American conservation group called the Buffalo Field Campaign (BFC), which has traditionally been against the park’s annual attempts at bison population control, pinning the behavior on outdated laws and pressure from the livestock industry. Officials say that the culling of the herd is necessary to ensure that bison infected with a problematic bacterial disease do not transmit it to cattle herds raised by Montana ranchers.   Continue reading “Yellowstone Park ships 200+ bison to slaughter, more planned – conservation group”
