Talk about the fox guarding the hen house though... The two party system is so easily manipulated. The same regime can switch sides depending on the public. It was obvious that after Bush, things would be swinging towards a Democrat even though the last few decades have been mostly RINOs (Republican In Name Only) and not true republicans. So the regime found a way to manipulate people who wanted Democrats and put a DINO in now. Now we have a system that is easily manipulated and puts forth candidates that misrepresent itself and the party they are supposed to represent. |

Monsanto lobyists to be placed in charge of food safety monsanto came into the white house when george bush came into office.... this is nothing new..... Beyond one's own mind there is no dazzling light to come shining in from outside to wake one up. If one recognizes one's own intrinsic State as pure from the beginning and only temporarily obscured by impurities, and if one maintains the presence of this recognition without becoming distracted, then all the impurities dissolve. This is the essence of the Path-namkhai norbu. Why is there a legend about the descent of Christ into hell? The Teacher addressed the lower strata of the astral world, saying: �Why, by cherishing earthly thoughts, bind oneself eternally to Earth?� And many revolted in spirit and rose higher.

Monsanto lobyists to be placed in charge of food safety Yet another Czar???? And none of them seem to be good or ethical choices related to what they are supposed to be overseeing. He does seem to be building his own private government that no one has anything to say about it. None of them have to go before Congress to be appointed. People complained wildly because they thought George W. Bush and Cheney were expanding the powers of the executive branch of our government far too much. Yes, he did but nothing compared to this. If his Czars and staffers are doing all the work of the administration, just what the hell is he doing besides traveling and going to town halls? |

Monsanto lobyists to be placed in charge of food safety Speaking of food, it looks like "The Farm Food Safety Act" H.R. 2749 is going up for a vote tomorrow. This bill . . . * authorizes warrantless searches of farms * imposes a $500 tax (or "registration fee") of all operators in all steps of the food production chain * imposes civil penalties up to $20,000 per individual for each violation * creates a food trace-back system, burdening farms and small businesses with reams of new paperwork * empowers the Dept. of Health and Human Services to micro-manage the raising and harvesting of crops (you might have assumed that Congress would've handed the U.S. Dept of Agriculture this terrible power). In essence, Congress wants to punish the innocent and protect the guilty. It is not small farms and businesses that were the source of contaminated food scares, but rather the processing facilities of large corporations. Yet this bill will only drive small farms out of business, which means reduced competition and higher prices in an already-bad economy. Suggest calling, send emails and/or using a service like downsize-DC to automate the process. |
