After Georgia’s Mountain Judicial Circuit Narcotics Criminal Investigation and Suppression Team burned a toddler with a flashbang grenade during a drug raid on Wednesday, Habersham County Sheriff Joey Terrell told Access North Georgia:
“The person I blame in this whole thing is the person selling the drugs,” Terrell said. “Wanis Thonetheva, that’s the person I blame in all this.

All they care about is making money.

The world’s food supplies are at risk because farmland is becoming rapidly concentrated in the hands of wealthy elites and corporations, a study has found.
Small farmers, the UN says, grow 70% of the world’s food but a new analysis of government data suggests the land which they control is shrinking every year as mega-farms and plantations squeeze them onto less than 25% of the world’s available farmland, says international land-use group Grain. These mega-farms are less productive in terms of amount of food they produce per area of land, the report argues.

The rider would weaken rules, written by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Grain Inspection, Packers & Stockyards Administration (GIPSA). The rules are intended to protect contract farmers who raise animals for the four companies that control nearly all the meat eaten in the U.S. GIPSA is an agency of the USDA that writes the rules intended to promote “fair and competitive trading practices for the overall benefit of consumers and American agriculture.” Continue reading “Organic Consumers Association Calls on Congress to Oppose the Tyson Foods Anti-Farmer Act”

The California Air Resources Board, despite comments that it should reconsider amendments to its AB32 Scoping Plan on cutting carbon dioxide emissions, has gone ahead and approved them unanimously. What that means is CARB has rubber-stamped a plan to place the state on a path to cut carbon dioxide emissions in the state to 80 percent below 1990 levels, by mid-century.
Pacific Legal Foundation senior staff attorney, Ted Hadzi-Antich, said the comments submitted by PLF were totally ignored by the board. Ted says virtually every economic sector of the Golden State will be regulated by California’s Cap and Trade Regulation – energy, agriculture, water, waste generation and disposal, natural and working lands, buildings and construction, and transportation.

His decision reversed three rulings since 2010 that had mandated the information about the suppliers be made public. Continue reading “Abbott switches mind on death drug secrecy”
