Wow, talk about big positive changes that are occurring! Israel dumping Flouride from the water supply! Notice how the change was driven by a petition effort on the part of just two dedicated individuals? Fortunately for all of us, it only takes a few to change the course of history, much as our cruel, erstwhile masters would have us think otherwise.

If you watch the 1964 movie Dr. Strangelove, you’ll see how the character General Jack D. Ripper, who suggests that flouridation of the water supply is a vile Communist plot, is made to appear a nut, a raver, an insane person. How far we’ve come since then!

Among its many other negative aspects, flouride calcifies the pineal gland, the seat of higher consciousness by many accounts. See how important an agenda this is/was for those who would hold humanity in thrall? I feel the momentum building, each day, now. Peace train sounding louder…

Israel commits to ending water fluoridation by 2014, citing major health concerns

Israel’s Ministry of Health has made a bold ruling against artificial water fluoridation, reversing more than 15 years of forced poisoning via public water supplies in the Middle Eastern country. A recent announcement by Israel’s Supreme Court has declared that a 1974 law permitting – and a later 1998 law requiring – all public water supplies in Israel to be fluoridated are both outdated and invalid, and that all current fluoridation programs in the country will have to end by April 9, 2014, in order to comply with new public safety requirements.

The welcomed ruling came after a petition filed last year by two dedicated individuals, including a representative of Israel’s Association for Dissemination of Health Education, brought to light numerous dangers associated with water fluoridation. These include lowered IQ, brittle bones and teeth and damage to the thyroid gland, serious side effects that are hardly justified by the flimsy and antiquated arguments claiming that ingested fluoride somehow helps prevent tooth decay.

The three Israeli Supreme Court justices who heard the case, along with Israeli Health Minister Yael German, took all this information to task and ultimately concluded that fluoride is, indeed, a public health threat and provides minimal, if any, health benefit to society.

“We have noted before us the State’s obligation to stop the fluorination of drinking water within one year,” reads an English-translated release of the ruling, which you can view at the following link:

US among just a few remaining first-world countries that still poison drinking water with fluoride

Any news of water fluoridation programs being scrapped, even if they are outside the U.S., is of course good news for everyone. And what this recent ruling in Israel accomplishes for the rest of the currently fluoridated world is providing further momentum for ending water fluoridation programs everywhere, especially in the U.S. where the vast majority of public water supplies are still fluoridated.

“Zealous fluoridation promoters try to convince the American public that ‘everyone drinks fluoridated water.’ But the opposite is true,” says Dr. Paul Connett, Ph.D., Executive Director of the Fluoride Action Network. “An overwhelming number of countries do not fluoridate, including 97 percent of the European population. In fact, over half the people in the world drinking fluoridated water live in the U.S.”

"What I find remarkable here is that Health Minister German [Israel’s Health Minister] has been able to escape the unscientific belief system on fluoridation that traps so many public health bureaucracies in fluoridated countries," he adds.

Fortunately, the truth about fluoride continues to spread, and towns and cities everywhere are rethinking the expensive, dangerous practice. Just within the past several months, for example, Portland, Oregon; Woodland, Washington; Wichita, Kansas, and many other towns and cities across America and throughout the world have decided to end their water fluoridation programs. Are you and your natural health allies willing to put in the necessary effort to see water fluoridation cease in your own community?

“It must be known to you that fluoridation can cause harm to the health of the chronically ill,” including “people who suffer from thyroid problems,” wrote Israeli Health Minister Yael German in a recent letter to doctors who tried to block efforts at stopping water fluoridation in Israel.

Just two days ago, I documented how the wholly-coopted mainstream media spun great news to the negative, in that case with booming marine life. Over the last year or two, we’ve seen increasing rainfall around the globe, driven by the distribution of simple orgonite, which renders inoperative DOR-based weather weaponry that had previously been used to suppress rainfall/create drought.

Today I did some searches re: abundant rainfall, plentiful rainfall. You’ll see the same exact tactic used: ‘spin it as negatively as possible’ and ‘global warming is causing it!’

This in the face of record harvests across the spectrum, vanishing drought, booming wildlife populations. Rejoice, in that it’s all theyve got, folks, this is their ‘A’ game:

Plentiful rain brings disease to Alabama soybeans, cotton
Mosquitoes plentiful, hungry in Chattanooga area after 7 inches of rain
Plentiful Rainfall puts Pressure on Dams
Despite plentiful rainfall, water restrictions remain
Abundant rainfall worries NC farmers, water department
Despite spring’s abundant rain, drought is again just inches away
Abundant rainfall delays some crops
Abundant rain, cool weather may lead to standout fall allergy season
Abundant rainfall attracts fall pests early
Rain Dampens Local Economy

The good news is that Seagrass meadows, are recovering and expanding where Sea Otters have been reintroduced. The article below takes pains to say that the reasons seagrass meadows are in decline worldwide is because of “excessive nutrients entering coastal waters in runoff from farms”. Excess Nutrients, ah, mirth. It’s exactly like in the movie “Idiocracy”, where the global food supply is nearly destroyed because the government decides to put ‘Brawndo’ energy drink on them, advertising that “it’s got what plants crave.”

Earlier in this thread, we saw how pesticides and high fructose corn syrup combine to attack the land-based food chain by destroying bee colonies. Here we see excessive use of destructive fertilizers attack the marine food chain at its base, as well, all under the plausibly deniable umbrella of ‘we, um, want to grow more food for you!’ Yes, the marketing material again says ‘we want to end world hunger!’ when in fact they are trying to destroy the food chain, itself. Happily, growing knowledge and awareness such as that generally demonstrated by the marine science folks below mean game over for that deadly agenda.

Sea otters promote recovery of seagrass beds

Recolonization of Elkhorn Slough by sea otters led to recovery and expansion of seagrass beds due to cascading effects on the food web, study finds

August 26, 2013

Scientists studying the decline and recovery of seagrass beds in one of California’s largest estuaries have found that recolonization of the estuary by sea otters was a crucial factor in the seagrass comeback. Led by researchers at the University of California, Santa Cruz, the study will be published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences the week of August 26.

Seagrass meadows, which provide coastal protection and important habitat for fish, are declining worldwide, partly because of excessive nutrients entering coastal waters in runoff from farms and urban areas. The nutrients spur the growth of algae on seagrass leaves, which then don’t get enough sunlight. In Elkhorn Slough, a major estuary on California’s central coast, algal blooms caused by high nutrient levels are a recurring problem. Yet the seagrass beds there have been expanding in recent years.

“When we see seagrass beds recovering, especially in a degraded environment like Elkhorn Slough, people want to know why,” said Brent Hughes, a Ph.D. candidate in ecology and evolutionary biology at UC Santa Cruz and first author of the PNAS study. His coauthors include Tim Tinker, a wildlife biologist with the U.S. Geological Survey, and Kerstin Wasson, research coordinator for the Elkhorn Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve, who are both adjunct professors of ecology and evolutionary biology at UCSC.

Hughes and his colleagues documented a remarkable chain reaction that began when sea otters started moving back into Elkhorn Slough in 1984. The sea otters don’t directly affect the seagrass, but they do eat enormous amounts of crabs, dramatically reducing the number and size of crabs in the slough. With fewer crabs to prey on them, grazing invertebrates like sea slugs become more abundant and larger. Sea slugs feed on the algae growing on the seagrass leaves, keeping the leaves clean and healthy.

“The seagrass is really green and thriving where there are lots of sea otters, even compared to seagrass in more pristine systems without excess nutrients,” Hughes said. In addition to the sea slugs, small crustaceans known as Idotea are also important grazers on the algae, and they too increase in number when sea otters control the crab population.

This kind of chain reaction in a food web is known to ecologists as a “trophic cascade.” Scientists have long known that sea otters have a big impact on coastal ecosystems. Their importance in maintaining kelp forests by preying on animals that graze on kelp is especially well documented. The new study shows sea otters play a slightly different but equally important role in estuarine ecosystems like Elkhorn Slough, according to Tinker.

“This provides us with another example of how the strong interactions exerted by sea otters on their invertebrate prey can have cascading effects, leading to unexpected but profound changes at the base of the food web,” he said. “It’s also a great reminder that the apex predators that have largely disappeared from so many ecosystems may play vitally important functions.”

The sea otter population in Elkhorn Slough has had its ups and downs, reflecting trends in the ongoing recovery of California’s sea otters. The slough’s initial recolonizing population of about 15 declined in the late 1980s, then grew to nearly 100 in the 1990s before declining again, followed by a recovery over the past decade. These fluctuations in the otter population were matched by corresponding fluctuations in the seagrass beds, Hughes said. Even within the slough, he said, sea otter density varies among the different seagrass beds, and those with more otters have fewer and smaller crabs and healthier seagrass.

The researchers used a combination of field experiments and data from long-term monitoring of Elkhorn Slough to study these interactions. “We used multiple approaches, and they all came up with the same answer,” Hughes said.

Eelgrass (Zostera marina) is the dominant seagrass in Elkhorn Slough and elsewhere in the northern hemisphere. Seagrasses in general provide important nursery habitat for juvenile fish, and eelgrass beds along the west coast are especially important for species such as Pacific herring, halibut, and salmon. In addition, seagrass beds protect shorelines from storms and waves, and they soak up carbon dioxide from seawater and from the atmosphere.

“These are important coastal ecosystems that we’re losing, and mostly that’s been associated with bottom-up effects like nutrient loading. This study shows that these ecosystems are also being hit by top-down forces due to the loss of top predators,” Hughes said.

The findings in Elkhorn Slough suggest that expansion of the sea otter population in California and recolonization of other estuaries will likely be good for seagrass habitat throughout the state, he added.

Georgia’s sea turtle nesting season is twice as big as when they first started tracking nests in 1974…kind of like the doubling lobster population we talked about recently.

The best the dissembling mainstream media shill can muster is calling this year’s hurricane season ‘relatively’ slow, when in fact its about the slowest or the very slowest since they began keeping records. Don’t ask them if global warming oh wait I mean climate change makes for more or less hurricanes, you’ll get a different answer depending upon the day.

Dissemble: “To disguise or conceal behind a false appearance.”

Record Year for Sea Turtles on Southeast Coast

Sep 24, 2013,

It’s been a record year for sea turtle nestings along the Southeast coast. The relatively slow Atlantic hurricane season has played a role in the turtle baby boom.

“It’s another record year for us in Georgia,” said Mark Dodd, senior wildlife biologist with the Georgia Department of Natural Resources. “The season isn’t completely finished but we have 2,292 (as of Sept. 16) loggerhead turtle nests.”

Cape Hatteras National Seashore in North Carolina has also noted a record number of sea turtle nests, as has Hobe Sound National Wildlife Refuge in Florida.

Dodd, who’s spent many years monitoring the sea turtle comeback on Georgia’s coast, says the turtles have evolved through the centuries to adapt to weather’s impact on their nesting sites. “One interesting thing is turtles have evolved on dynamic beaches that periodically are hit by tropical storm activity. So they’ve developed a reproductive strategy because of that."

The adults don’t reach mating age until about 35 and can live well into their 60s or more. One reason the turtles lay so many eggs per nest is to ensure the survival of their species.

Dodd says the 2013 Georgia nesting season is twice as big as when they first started tracking nests in 1974.

Positive changes that are occurring, indeed…our fair-spoken but black-hearted ‘leaders’ are continuing to be forced to back away from and distance themselves from the GMO issue. We read earlier in this thread how top executives in Monsanto were dumping their stock in large quantities, and now below we see how the attempt to sneak Monsanto-protecting ‘court stripping’ legislation is being withdrawn.

I think the most key line is ‘even early proponents have backed away.’ The rail, the pot of tar, the bag of feathers are not far away for these scoundrels, and they know it, and they fear it desperately. People used to stand up against scammers and con artists, you know. I’m happy to say it may be becoming fashionable again.

Slipping literally devilish items through as ‘riders’ on other purportedly-constructive bills is a key weapon for those who claim to serve the populace. Your social security number was first attached to your drivers license via a rider on a bill to ‘stop deadbeat dads’, if I recall correctly. See how it works? Bleat that you are ‘protecting the children’, slip the poison in.

Fortunately for us, people are waking up, more and more, faster and faster…

[http://www.politico.com/story/2013/09/s]

A controversial legislative rider added by Monsanto to the Agriculture Department budget last spring will no longer be effective after Sept. 30 under a draft stopgap government funding bill being drafted by Senate Democrats.

The provision touched off a storm last spring as critics accused Monsanto of “court-stripping” to protect its sales of the genetically modified seeds for which the St. Louis-based giant is a pioneer in commercializing.

The continuing resolution approved by the House last week would extend the rider without comment for the first months of the new fiscal year. But

“That provision will be gone,” said Sen. Mark Pryor (D-Ark.), confirming the change to POLITICO. The Center for Food Safety, a Washington-based non-profit, welcomed the decision as “a major victory for the food movement” and “sea change in a political climate that all too often allows corporate earmarks to slide through must-pass legislation.”

“Short-term appropriations bills are not an excuse for Congress to grandfather in bad policy,” said Colin O’Neil, director of government affairs for the Center.

The whole dispute has been overshadowed by the larger fight over Republican efforts to use the same CR to cut off funding needed by President Barack Obama to implement his health care reforms. But for many environmental and food safety groups, the so-called “Monsanto Protection Act” —as the rider was called—became a major cause last spring, generating a huge amount of Internet traffic and calls on Obama to veto the agriculture budget.

Caught in the middle was Appropriations Committee Chairwoman Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.) who had inherited legislative agreements made under her predecessor, the late Sen. Daniel Inouye (D-Hawaii). Mikulski promised then that she would do everything she could to terminate the provision with the new fiscal year. But the CR posed its own challenges since typically the leadership simply extends current spending and related provisions for the life of the resolution.

This is essentially what would happen under the House CR running through Dec. 15. Mikulski wants a shorter end date, Nov. 15. And given the Monsanto controversy, she and Pryor, chairman of the agriculture appropriations subcommittee, chose to act and take it out after Sept. 30.

Their decision was helped along by the fact that even early proponents in the House Appropriations Committee appear to have backed away. Indeed the fiscal 2014 agriculture appropriations bill reported by the House panel but never voted upon on the floor, did not extend the rider.

Monsanto and its allies have argued that what the company sought was no more than what some federal courts have done themselves in the past: Allow farmers to continue to use GMO seed –under environmental guidelines—while the court review continues.

Monsanto successfully expanded support among farm groups also interested in some such stewardship program. But the language itself was unusually strong in that it directed Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack in no uncertain terms about how he should respond in future court cases impacting GMO seeds.

The secretary “shall, notwithstanding any other provision of law… immediately grant” temporary permits to continue using the seed at the request of a farmer or producer wanting such a stewardship program, the provision reads. And while Vilsack has been a big champion of the biotech industry, he was uncomfortable with what he saw as an effort to “pre-empt judicial review.”

“We have all known this rider’s days were numbered,” O’Neil told POLITICO. “But given the recent GMO contamination episodes of wheat and alfalfa in Oregon and Washington it is clear that our nation’s safeguards, in particular those of the federal courts, should not be under attack from policy riders like this.”

Jeff, I could kick myself because I realized, just now, that I was in St Louis to visit my Ma a few weeks ago and I could have gifted and earthpiped Monsanto’s HQ, which is nearby. I will next time.

Her paramour of many years, Dr Ed Griffin, was a senior research fellow there who had developed a harmless but effective and very marketable substitute for asbestos, along with many other useful and harmless products and processes. The corporation féted him many times and gave him big awards, then immediately buried the patents, which kind of broke his heart but he was a company man and stayed loyal to them.

I think they use people like him as front men; window dressing, so that they can develop horrors like GMO, chemical weaponry and ruinous agrichem products without drawing any public attention. They buy and sell criminals in the equally corporate US Congress, of course–corporations do it just like ringball teams buy and sell players. I think Obama is in the insurance companies’ player card deck at the moment but that’s going to blow up in their faces as soon as they try to enforce that Orwellian crap, I think. We have an inside peek at the ongoing process because Carol’s sister-in-law works for a big health insurance company.

He was inducted at the Inventors Hall of Fame before he died, which was nice. I really liked the guy and when I started making and selling zappers in 96 he gave me a frequency analyzer that he’d built and was very encouraging. My mom said he admired me for pursuing that new career.

Monsanto is the face of evil, of course. Good folks like Ed remind me of Terry, another friend of mine, who keeps his ultralight planes in our hangar and spent two years flying Skyraiders in Vietnam, Cambodia and Loas during rescue missions for downed pilots. That was the most dangerous flying of all at the time and he’s a genuine hero. He knows that rescue missions were the only worthwhile flights in the Vietnam War, too. I don’t have a problem honoring people for any form of high-minded self sacrifice and heroism, even when they do it for satanic, murderous organizations like Monsanto and the US Government.

Terry tells me that ultralights are more fun to him than fighter jets or big planes, by the way. Someday I’ll try to persuade him to toss some orgonite in the mountains so that I can secretly induct him into the Etheric Air Corps

A quick web snapshot again easily shows that crime and violence are continuing to drop, and that it’s global in scope. It’s funny, I recently said as much to an NPR addict that I know, and they responded angrily and suspiciously, with “yeah, well, that’s violent crime!”, as if they’d scored a point. They’re angry they’ve been conned, of course, and are in between ‘denial’ and ‘anger’ in the grieving process.

One of my favorite fabricated explanations has been “it’s because, um, lead paint isn’t making everyone crazy anymore!”

The homicide rate in Russia dropped from 31,553 in 2004 down to 11,500 in 2011
December, 2011 – The number of crimes in Japan detected by police between January and November dropped 6.5 percent from a year earlier
November 8, 2011 – Significant Fall in Violent Crime in Rio State, Brazil
December 20, 2011 – Violent Crime Rate in US Keeps Dropping, Lowest Since 1960s
Manila, Phillipines – Crime rate down 16% in first 3 months of 2012
February 7, 2013 – Manila, Phillipines – January crime rate down by 60 percent
July 12, 2013 – Mexico Reports Drop in Crime-Related Homicides
July 18, 2013 – Crime in England and Wales falls to lowest level since survey began in 1981
July 26, 2013 – What’s behind Canada’s improving crime stats?

You can tell when the media is lying by when they use the words ‘baffled’, ‘puzzled’ or ‘mystery’:

“As the Washington Post reports in ‘Plummeting Crime Rates Puzzle Experts’, many criminologists are baffled by this turn of events.”

To maintain cognitive dissonance, affirm that the weather has been delightfully cool because global warming is hiding in the deep oceans , and crime rates are plummeting on a global scale because people aren’t eating lead paint chips anymore .

You may have noticed that the amazing changes taking place all around us are being steadfastly denied in the wholly-coopted mainstream media, to a degree that is starting to resemble sheer, actual lunacy to many observers.

When I tell people things like ‘did you know that the artic summer this year was the shortest on record, ever?’, they get a wild look in their eyes. I understand that it’s troubling and upsetting when one realizes one has been serially lied to by formerly trusted sources.

So I put what I’ve subjectively concluded are baldfaced lies in italics in among the truths, below, so that the reader can juxtapose the two against each other, and see how they respectively feel.

It was freakisly hot and awful in the late 90’s, early 2000’s, and I bought the Global Warming line of crap, albeit briefly, at that time. But now? In the face of an incredibly cool, rainy summer, to call it ‘the hottest on record’? The scoundrels are desperate, very desperate, now, my friends. I think it’s particularly instructive how, on April 30, we were sternly told that rainy weather was supposed to delay corn planting. Then, just about a week later, the truth: rain stopping in perfect time for planting:

March 11, 2013 – Rainy days as plentiful as drops of rain

April 30, 2013 – “Cool, rainy weather expected to further delay Iowa corn planting”.

May 9, 2013 – Rain Stops in Time for Bountiful Corn Crop
Heavy rains in the nation’s Corn Belt are tapering off just in time for many farmers to sow their crops

May 14, 2013 –It certainly was chilly this past weekend. Snow flakes were seen in many areas of Michigan

June 4, 2013 – Wet, mild summer expected for Toronto…

June 13, 2013 – Atlanta Weather | Rain Is Plentiful This Year!

“This summer hasn’t just felt hot. It’s been hot. In fact, the summer of 2012-13 is now the hottest on record.”

July 14, 2013 – Butterflies Galore………The rain has been so plentiful and wonderous!

August 1, 2013 – Cool and rainy weather this summer has kept smog from forming in metro Atlanta as it typically does on hot summer days.

August 3, 2013 – Unprecedented July Cold – Arctic Sees Shortest Summer On Record

August 17, 2013 – This rainy cool weather is getting crazy here in the SE …

Aug 28, 2013, Pittsburgh, PA – Cooler temps, plentiful rain meant bumper crop of wild mushrooms
This was the largest bloom of chanterelles that I’ve seen in over a decade.

August 29, 2013 – Alabama summer 2013 one of the coolest on record

September 5, 2013 – Coolest summer in many years – Alabama

I’m not a bird expert, but the suggestion that “the recovery of Bald Eagles” is leading to the breakup and spreading out of large Blue Heron breeding colonies, below, does not ring true to me. “The underlying cause remains unclear” is the bright red flag – it’s a ‘don’t look any further’ code phrase, much like ‘baffled’ and ‘puzzled’. It seems obvious to me that the expanding of wetland areas driven by increased rainfall has allowed the formerly pinned-down Heron colonies to expand throughout a recovering Chesapeake.

Yet, see how they spin it negatively, as best they can: " the size of breeding colonies has been declining for more than a decade ." It’s an upsetting thing to say, and a great non-sequitor pullout quote, that is if you are into dininformation and fear mongering.

See how they also use the harsh, upsetting words “splinter and scatter”, vs. what I presume to be the truth, “happily spreading out”? Notice also how they won’t elucidate exactly how Bald Eagles cause Heron colonies to splinter and scatter ? Notice also how they focus on how many tons of fish the Herons eat, to hopefully piss off fishermen and the like? I was an English major and worked at a newspaper for awhile, years ago.

Wow, I’m reading carefully, and the article cannot, will not and does not document the scope of the increase in Blue Heron breeding pairs. They’ve been pressed to say ‘rebound’ adn publish this article, but, remarkably, withold the scope of the rebound – which is probably stunning, in that Great Egrets are noted to have enjoyed a “three fold increase”. Please note that they carefully used the term “three fold increase” because it’s softer to say and read than “300% increase” or “tripled”).

See how they’re always tirelessly at work to blunt and defray the message? But they are transparent, and I defy and expose them, here.

Bask in the good news:

Great Blue Herons Rebound in the Chesapeake Bay

Breeding populations of great blue herons have made a dramatic comeback within the Chesapeake Bay according to a 2013 survey conducted by The Center for Conservation Biology. As with bald eagles and osprey, great blue heron populations suffered deep declines during the DDT era reaching a low in the late 1960s of approximately a dozen known breeding colonies. The 2013 survey documented 14,126 pairs within 407 breeding colonies making the species the most widespread and abundant breeding waterbird in the Chesapeake Bay. The population would consume an estimated 8,200 metric tons of fish annually. Colonies were documented within every county along the tidal reach of the estuary.

An interesting finding of the survey is that the size of breeding colonies has been declining for more than a decade. The average colony size in 2013 was 35 pairs compared to more than 110 pairs in 1985. Large colonies that were stable for decades have begun to splinter and scatter across the landscape. Although the underlying cause of the decline remains unclear, one possible contributing factor may be the recovery of bald eagles. Bald eagles now nest in a growing number of heron colonies. The largest colony in the Bay on Pooles Island (1,450 pairs) now contains 4 bald eagle nests and the second largest colony on Mason Neck (1,250 pairs) now contains 2 eagle nests.

In addition to great blue herons, the survey also included great egrets. More associated with coastal waters and never as common as great blue herons in the Chesapeake Bay, 1,775 egret pairs were found in 39 colonies. This number represents a nearly 3 fold increase in the population over the past 30 years.

The 2013 aerial survey conducted by Bryan Watts and Bart Paxton required 200 hours of flying and covered more than 900 tidal tributaries of the Chesapeake. Funding for the survey was provided by the Virginia Department of Game & Inland Fisheries, the Maryland Department of Natural Resources, and The Center for Conservation Biology. The Center for Conservation Biology is a research unit within the College of William and Mary and the Virginia Commonwealth University.

Booming, burgeoning animal life, marine life, plant life, worldwide. Ecosystems recovering. We could all agree those are Really Positive Things, right? Below, I invite you to check out what the mainstream media has to say about those topics. Warning: to maintain cognitive dissonance, tell self ‘they write that because negative news is what sells’.

The good news is that most well-intended, Greenbooted NPR addicts are fairly well educated, and it is my hope that exposure to threads like this one will break, at last, the schizoid programming that I have subjectively concluded holds them in thrall. I mean, it’s never been fashionable to be a dupe, a rube, a mark. At some point these documentedly not-unintelligent folks are going to awaken en masse , and I think we’re close to that point. And they’re gonna be pissed .

Dupe – a victim of deception
Mark – A person who is the intended victim of a swindler; a dupe
Rube – a naive or inexperienced person
Pissed – very annoyed; angry

You’ll note that the ever-reliable ‘global warming caused it!’ is, of course, also deployed, despite steady and well documented cooling underway worldwide. Whoops, so sorry, my mistake, they swtiched to the catchall rebrand term ‘Climate Change’ :

“from Mexico, to Hawaii and to the 64 nations that already have GMO labeling, this tide just might be turning.” Might be turning? As anyone reading this thread knows, it’s turned . Keep spreading the good news.

My wife’s from the Big Island, she’s gonna be happy when she sees this:

http://banoosh.com/blog/2013/10/22/huge-gmo-news/)

It hasn’t been a good week for Monsanto and the rest of the biotech industry.

Just three days ago, Mexico banned genetically engineered corn. Citing the risk of imminent harm to the environment, a Mexican judge ruled that, effective immediately, no genetically engineered corn can be planted in the country. This means that companies like Monsanto will no longer be allowed to plant or sell their corn within the country’s borders.

At the same time, the County Council for the island of Kauai passed a law that mandates farms to disclose pesticide use and the presence of genetically modified crops. The bill also requires a 500-foot buffer zone near medical facilities, schools and homes — among other locations.

And the big island of Hawaii County Council gave preliminary approval to a bill that prohibits open air cultivation, propagation, development or testing of genetically engineered crops or plants. The bill, which still needs further confirmation to become law, would also prohibit biotech companies from operating on the Big Island.

But perhaps the biggest bombshell of all is now unfolding in Washington state. The mail-in ballot state’s voters are already weighing in on Initiative 522, which would mandate the labeling of genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Knowing full well that 93 percent of the American public supports GMO labeling , and that if one state passes it, many others are likely to follow, entrenched agribusiness interests are pulling out all the stops to try to squelch yet another state labeling effort.

This time, however, things aren’t going quite as planned. On Wednesday, Washington state Attorney General Bob Feguson filed a lawsuit against the Grocery Manufacturers Association (GMA). The GMA, a lobby for the junk food industry, has been by far the largest donor to efforts to defeat the labeling initiative. The lawsuit alleges that the GMA illegally collected and spent more than $7 million while shielding the identity of its contributors.

The source of the money has now been exposed, and it turns out to be Pepsico, Coca-Cola, NestleUSA, General Mills and a few other junk food companies. The lawsuit reveals that GMA leadership held a series of secret meetings to plot how to perpetrate a money laundering scheme and illegally hide member donations from Washington state voters, in direct violation of campaign disclosure laws.

Unlike the junk food companies that feared consumer backlash, Monsanto hasn’t even bothered to hide the more than $4 million the company has given to the “no” campaign. In fact, GMA, Monsanto and a handful of other corporate donors have now broken a state record by pouring more than $17 million into their effort to stop Washington’s GMO labeling ballot initiative.

Voting is already underway in Washington, and the final ballots will be cast on November 5. The “yes” side is ahead in the most recent polls, but supporters of the right to know fear that a barrage of heavily funded and misleading ads could sour voters to the initiative.

They remember that just last year, California’s Proposition 37 was well ahead in the polls until Monsanto and its allies spent more than $46 million on their campaign in the Golden State.

All this label fighting and money laundering leads to some very significant questions. Why are Monsanto and the junk food industry willing to spend many tens of millions of dollars every year trying to keep you in the dark about your food? What doesn’t big food want you to know? And what are they afraid might happen if you did?

Monsanto tells us that their products are about the best thing to come along since sliced bread. For years they’ve been promising that GMOs would reduce pesticide use, increaseyields, reduce water consumption, and offer foods that are more tasty and more nutritious.

I wish they were right.

But in the 20 years since GMO crops first came on the market, studies have found that they have led to higher pesticide use, and no meaningful improvement in flavor, nutrition, yieldor water requirements. Instead, what they’ve created are plants that are engineered to withstand massive dosing of toxic herbicides, and plants that function as living pesticide factories. Monsanto’s Bt. corn, for example, is actually registered with the EPA as a pesticide.

With concern about GMOs growing fast, and with the public being pummeled with vast amounts of misinformation, there is a tremendous need for clear, accurate and reliable information about GMOs. In response, the 100,000+ member Food Revolution Network and the Institute for Responsible Technology are co-sponsoring a free online GMO Mini-Summit. From October 25-27, some of the top GMO experts on the planet will be providing insights and clear calls to action in this teleseminar that is also being broadcast without charge on the Internet. Monsanto probably isn’t too happy about the prospect of tens of thousands of people getting informed and mobilized. But if you love life, safe food, and the truth, then you might want to check it out.

And if you want to lend a hand to getting out the vote in the state of Washington, you cansign up to volunteer here.

Nobody knows what’s going to happen in Washington between now and November 5. But from Mexico, to Hawaii and to the 64 nations that already have GMO labeling, this tide just might be turning.

This story has been making the rounds of social networks, with many people I know posting it,

and lamenting that “The Ocean is Broken”.

I would like to hear some comments from the forum, because, I can’t believe that things are as bad as all that…

[“The Ocean Is Broken” news story http://www.theherald.com.au/story/1848433/the-ocean-is-broken/?cs=2452:qsz5e2oy)

Of course, simple orgonite cleans water effectively, and will effectively clean any radiation from Fukushima.
So ocean gifting is always great…

Jack, yes, I saw the ‘Ocean is Broken’ story, nothing like using language at the Elementary School level to make one’s point. It’s a statement that’s positively ludicrous when juxtaposed against the literally massive number of examples of booming ocean health outlined in this thread. I was in Maine a couple of weeks ago, the lobster harvest has never been more plentiful, there. One of the people I was with said, suspiciously and with narrowed eyes (italics mine), "yes, but, that’s because of Global Warming .’

It’s upsetting when one learns one has been conned, had, taken, and the natural reaction is to retreat to the safety of Plausible Deniability, using the ‘escape hatch’ concepts such as ‘global warming caused it’ provided in the wholly-complicit mainstream media. The few control the many, or at least have up to this point in history, via vehicles such as those just described.

I related the story from earlier in this thread about Blue Heron population tripling in the Chesapeake to another friend, and got basically the same reply: 'yes, but that’s because of boom/bust cycles caused by Global Warming’ . I laughed and said ‘I’m sorry, but you can’t spin ‘population of Blue Herons tripled’ in a negative way, at least not for me.’

It’s about breaking down programming, I think.

Luv this thread Jeff, kep it up ok? DEAD oceans do not exist on this planet and Ive done eveythong I could to make that sure…

Yes breaking down the PROGRAMING is all that’s required, been saying that over a decade!

Thanks, Gare, appreciate the positive feedback. It’s fun for me, and wholesome, I think, to say ‘here’s the good that’s going on’.

May 14, 2012 – A record six populations of fish returned to healthy levels in 2011 May 22, 2012 – Fish Populations Making Comeback, NOAA Report Says
June 26, 2012 – Marine life booming in Monterey Bay - Thousands of dolphins and hundreds of whale can been seen splashing around the Monterey Bay this week…
April 19, 2013 – Surprising recovery for some fish populations
September 24, 2013 – Record Year for Sea Turtles on Southeast Coast

Here’s the lying spin:

August 5, 2013: “Marine life is reacting to global climate change faster than land-dwelling species”
June 15, 2013 – “Antarctic melt sparks boom in sponges on seafloor”

I think it’s game-over for them, as we all know the story of the Boy Who Cried Wolf.

Ireland’s pine marten population recovering

October 22, 2013

The population of one of Ireland’s most elusive mammals, the pine marten, has recovered to healthy numbers in the midlands , a new study has found. The research by teams at NUI Galway and Waterford Institute of Technology used DNA techniques to analyse the number of pine martens in the midlands and east.

It found that pine marten numbers appear to be healthy in these areas and slightly higher than in other parts of Europe.

The research is to be published in the European Journal of Wildlife Research and is funded by the Irish Research Council and European Squirrel Initiative.

Just to add my two cents to this “the ocean is broken” thing (the term itself sounds like an infantile slogan), how come there is no footage or even a snapshot of all this devastation?

I could go on about the glaring holes in this story, like how come nobody else has reported anything like this, since the Pacific is very well travelled? And hmmmm….how come fish populations are rebounding all over the world? I went snorkelling myself in the Philippines (the Pacific) last year and there were fish of all sizes everywhere, and the year before that I was on the West coast of North America and the water was beautiful and full of dolphins, sea lions, sea birds and fish.

What really strikes me as a glaring omission, regardless of any other contradictory facts, is simply why are there no pictures??

Mike, thanks for the first-hand accounts of burgeoning life. It is my hope that people will continuously chime in on this thread with media accounts and personal accounts of their own, over time. Sometimes people read things and are changed by reading them, changed forever, and it is my great hope that someone reads one of these accounts and wakes up, never to sleep again, never to be conned again in that way.

Why no pictures? Because they are baldfacedly lying, my friend. Nope, no pictures, no stats, just a lie that might work on some small subset of a population of third graders. But know that it works – barely – because of Programming, and people desperately not wanting to admit they’ve been conned, had, taken, snookered. But we’re coming to the end of the con game, happily.

The ‘Broken Ocean’ that’s ‘dying of acidification’, whose ‘levels are rising because of Global Warming’, who is ‘hiding the all the Global Warming heat and carbon in her great depths’, is somehow managing to produce a largest-ever Salmon harvest, three times higher than two years ago.

And poor Mother Gaia, who is supposedly also ‘dying’, ‘crushed by the deadly, virus-like burden of man’, seems to be managing record harvests, as well…ah, mirth.

Be careful if you share this with someone addicted to NPR, their head might explode like the aliens in that movie ‘Mars Attacks’:

Diagram showing how the ocean might be broken

Sorry I couldn’t resist… … a silly post for a silly slogan.

Anyway the more one looks at how they try to explain thing the more apparent it becomes that they are just pathological liars. If it’s dry, it’s global warwing. If it’s rainning it’s global warming. If it’s snowing too. If animals are becomming extinct, it’s global warming. If they are reproducing, it’s global warming. Etc etc etc…

Every time they will change the history. There is no proof simply because those who blindly acept this kind of info don’t need their world reality to be coherent in anyway, as long as it makes them free of the responsability of thinking for themselves.
