It’s a scandal.

Monsanto has just announced it’s giving up on most of Europe: people there don’t want GMO food. In America, the struggle is for labeling GMOs.

This is some kind of “fairness doctrine.” Let the US consumer decide what kind of food to buy. Choice. It’s the American way, right?   Continue reading “Europe rejects GMO crops; kinder gentler America seeks labeling”

Monsanto’s unapproved genetically engineered (GE) “Roundup Ready” wheat was found growing in a random Oregon field last week.

The farmer doesn’t know how it got there. Neither does anyone else since Monsanto ended field testing this type of wheat eight years ago. The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) is currently investigating the extent of the contamination.   Continue reading “Monsanto GE Experiment Out of Control”

Scientific journals, by their very nature, ought not to be biased towards a particular point of view because such bias can lead that journal’s editorial staff to quash or ignore any legitimate scientific research and data refuting any pre-determined viewpoints.

And yet, as reported online by Earth Open Source, it appears as though the journal Food and Chemical Toxicology may have compromised itself recently by hiring a biotechnology insider who, on the surface, would sure seem to have a pro-industry prejudice.   Continue reading “Science journal hires former Monsanto scientist to decide which papers should be accepted or rejected”

As we enter another week of high crimes being identified as scandals, the fact that the international corporate mafia now operates right out in the open, in defiance of we the people and our laws, has become a reality that none can deny.

Eric Holder is now accused of committing perjury before the House Judiciary Committee.  Perjury before a federal body would land your average American in a federal penitentiary.  So does anyone believe Eric Holder will ever face a charge for any crime he has committed?  Don’t forget that Eric Holder already stands in criminal Contempt of Congress for refusing to turn over public documents to the House Judiciary Committee investigating Fast and Furious.   Continue reading “Eric Holder: One Man’s Crime, Another Man’s Scandal”

Montana’s $1.7 billion wheat industry is watching cautiously as foreign buyers react negatively to unauthorized genetically modified wheat discovered in Oregon.

The discovery, confirmed this week by the U.S. Animal Plant Health Inspection Service, prompted import restrictions by Japan on soft white U.S. wheat. Friday, South Korea halted U.S. wheat imports for further testing, while Taiwan announced it was putting U.S. wheat imports under review. The European Union encouraged its members to test certain shipments for wheat genetically modified to survive exposure to the herbicide Roundup, the trait engineered into the wheat discovered in Oregon.   Continue reading “Montana eyes Oregon GMO grain problems”

Presidential aides are privately admitting to a growing frustration inside the White House with Attorney General Eric Holder’s political ineptness in the press leak investigations and are hoping the embattled appointee will resign from office, The New York Times reports.

“The White House is apoplectic about him, and has been for a long time,” said an anonymous Democrat source, identified only as a former government employee who acknowledged the White House staffers in question are his friends.   Continue reading “NYT: White House Wants Holder to Resign”

Is Turkey next for the CIA’s spring cleaning?   It certainly looks that way, from all the clues surrounding the huge riots that have developed seemingly overnight in Istanbul and other large cities.

Ostensibly the trouble began over the plans by the Istanbul municipality to redevelop part of Gezi Park close to Taksim (Constitution) Square, situated in the heart of the country’s largest city. Suddenly – and suspiciously – numbers or protestors swelled dramatically and the police, never renowned for their lightness of touch, moved in with full-scale anti-riot tactics.   Continue reading “Riots in Istanbul: Gladio strikes again”

MOSCOW — The head of a U.S. congressional delegation said Sunday that its meetings in Russia showed there was “nothing specific” that could have helped prevent the Boston Marathon bombings, but that the two countries need to work more closely on joint security threats.

Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, a California Republican who led the six-member delegation, described discussions with Russian parliament members and security officials as productive. Some of the meetings, he said, were made possible by American actor Steven Seagal.   Continue reading “Congressional Delegation Finds Few Boston Attack Clues In Russia”
