Monsanto, the world’s most evil corporation, is in financial trouble. This is great news. In fact, the only way this could be better news is if Monsanto went broke and closed its doors.

My first experience with Monsanto was with Vietnam veterans. We had a friend in our church, Barry, who was young by today’s standards. He was about 55 to 60 years old and retired from the US Army. Shortly after we met him and his wife, Barry started missing church on some Sundays. His wife informed us that he had Parkinson’s disease. Barry went downhill fast and it was not long before he died.

On inquiring about his past, I found out that he was one of thousands of Vietnam veterans who had been exposed to Agent Orange, the defoliant that was used during the war to destroy the jungles of Southeast Asia so that the North Vietnamese might be more visible to our soldiers.

Agent Orange was manufactured by Monsanto.

After the war, the reports of poor health from Agent Orange began to surface. Diabetes was a common side effect along with cancer and Parkinson’s disease. Monsanto denied these claims, but as time has gone on, the obvious became even more obvious.

Today, 50 % of the soldiers exposed to Agent Orange have diabetes and the numbers of cancers and Parkinson is immeasurable. The number of birth defects in adults and children in Vietnam is beyond counting. I have a patient whose father was exposed to Agent Orange during the war and when he came home he married and had 4 children. The children are all in their twenties and early thirties and, at this time, all four have been treated for four different types of cancer. Who knows what they will have as they get to their forties and beyond.

All this being said, with statistical proof, Monsanto still denies it and our government covers their lies to protect them from lawsuits. In my mind, this is not right.

Fast forward from the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s to the nineties and let’s talk about life forms that are not natural. I am referring to GMO’s – Genetically Engineered Organisms, or as some call them, Franken Foods.

Monsanto took plants and introduced a gene that was not natural for the plants to make them do something that was beneficial for the corporation but not to people or to the plants. The driving force was to patent the new GMO plants so farmers could not save seeds without patent infringements and so the farmers would have to use more of Monsanto chemicals to eliminate weeds without killing the plants. Their goal was to control the world’s food supply so that they would have a monopoly on chemicals and seeds and control the world’s population.

These plants were never tested for safety or health of the environment, animals, plants or that of people. Hitler tried to control the world through violence with war. Monsanto’s goal was to control the people of the world without ever firing a shot.

The following paragraphs came from the New York Times:

According to the New York Times, weeds are becoming immune to Monsanto’s herbicide Roundup, and its latest genetically modified, 8-gene corn is a flop, producing yields no higher than the company’s less expensive corn, which contains only three foreign genes.

“Monsanto has already been forced to sharply cut prices on SmartStax and on its newest soybean seeds, called Roundup Ready 2 Yield, as sales fell below projections,” the Times said. “And the Justice Department is investigating Monsanto for possible antitrust violations.”

“Until now, Monsanto’s main challenge has come from opponents of genetically modified crops, who have slowed their adoption in Europe and some other regions. Now, however, the skeptics also include farmers and investors who were once in Monsanto’s camp.”

Besides what I reported above, here are other things Monsanto has done in 20 years or so that qualifies them as evil.

• Suing small farmers for patent infringement after Monsanto’s GM seeds spread wildly into surrounding farmers’ fields, contaminating their conventional crops
• Secretly discharging PCB-laden toxic waste into an Alabama creek and dumping millions of pounds of PCBs into open-pit landfills for decades after PCBs were banned in the US for being a possible carcinogen.
• Being found guilty of bribery to bypass Indonesian law requiring an environmental assessment review for its genetically engineered cotton.
• Last year, the supreme court of France found Monsanto guilty of falsely advertising its herbicide Roundup as “biodegradable” and “environmentally friendly.” Scientific evaluation discovered that glyphosate, the active ingredient in RoundUp, is acutely toxic to fish and birds and can kill beneficial insects and soil organisms that maintain ecological balance. Additionally, the surfactant ingredient in Roundup is more acutely toxic than glyphosate itself, and the combination of the two is even more toxic.
• In 2007, the South African Advertising Standards Authority also found Monsanto guilty of lying when advertising that “no negative reactions to Genetically Modified food have been reported.”
• According to one EPA scientist, Monsanto doctored studies and covered-up dioxin contamination of a wide range of its products. She concluded that the company’s behavior constituted “a long pattern of fraud.”
• In 1999, the New York Times exposed that Monsanto’s PR firm, BursonMarsteller, had paid fake “pro-GMO” food demonstrators to counteract a group of anti-biotech protesters outside a Washington, DC FDA meeting.
• This does not include the deception that got Indian farmers into debt they could not pay back when yields failed to come close to Monsanto sales predictions. Hundreds of these Indian farmers committed suicide because they could not pay their debts.

Monsanto has “friends” in high places. Clarence Thomas, on our Supreme Court, did work for them before becoming a Justice. He contributed to Monsanto when they wanted to get their food genes patented.

Michael Taylor, a former vice president of public policy and chief lobbyist at Monsanto Company, is the deputy commissioner for foods at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Who is Michael Taylor? He is the person who “oversaw the creation of GMO policy,” according to Jeffrey Smith, the leading spokesperson on the dangers of GM foods. Smith continues:

“If GMOs are indeed responsible for massive sickness and death, then the individual who oversaw the FDA policy that facilitated their introduction holds a uniquely infamous role in human history. That person is Michael Taylor. He had been Monsanto’s attorney before becoming policy chief at the FDA. Soon after, he became Monsanto’s vice president and chief lobbyist.”

Also, former Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack, now the Secretary of Agriculture, is widely regarded as a shill for biotech giants like Monsanto (he even reportedly often travels in Monsanto’s jet). There are other less noticeable connections too, such as Sharon Long, a former member of Monsanto’s board of directors who was part of Obama’s scientific advisory team during the election/campaign.

Now that Monsanto is having financial problems and legal battles from governments, farmers and the public, let’s get behind Jeffery Smith’s campaign to get the general public to complain to grocery stores that they do not want to eat GMO foods that is causing fertility problems, cancer and allergies.

Also download the following site http://mercola.fileburst.com/PDF/GMObrochure.pdf so that you can vote with your dollars by avoiding GMO foods and give this pamphlet to 20 other people. Everyone who is eating organic, partially or fully, will be interested in this pamphlet that will improve their health and the health of their families.

Remember that hurting Monsanto and the other smaller corporations like them is great for the health and well being of the US and Canada.

Also remember to buy local food as much as possible and unprocessed. The only sugar that is safe (well not too safe) is labeled “Pure Cane Sugar”. Any other sugar is from GMO sugar beets or High Fructose Corn Syrup. They are toxic and unhealthy.

I am sure I am not the only person who falls under the Naïve banner but sometimes you kind of need a bump on the head.

Everyone knows that the powers in charge put spin on everything in our daily lives (if you don’t know you need to know) to control public opinion.  The news media reports what it is told to do by their advertisers. If a food product causes cancer and heart disease, the media will not report this because the advertiser may pull their advertisement.

This happened a few years ago in Tampa, FL when two reporters tried to air an article on the Fox network about how rBGH – bovine growth hormones were causing young female children to develop at 7 and 8 years of age instead of 12 to 14. There were other healthy issues in the article, but the lawyers at Monsanto, makers of rGBH at that time, found out about the presentation and they called the head of Fox and reminded how much advertising they paid each and every year. The leaders at Fox told the reporters that they would have to “water” down their content or else. After redoing 40 to 50 times, the final product was worthless for news content.

So many times we think of spin as being a product of the last 10 to 20 years. I was recently reminded of an event on October 30, 1948 when both government and corporate spin came together.

Donora is a borough in Washington County, Pennsylvania, 20 miles south of Pittsburgh on the Monongahela River. Donora was a small town down in a river valley with a US Steel coal smelting plant that extracted zinc to put into steel to make better quality steel. Webster was on top of the hills and not in the valley.

One of the byproducts of smelting, besides black soot from the coal, was fluoride and on this day a weather inversion came over the valley and pushed all the pollution down to the river level. Webster being on top of the mountains was not affected.

October 30, 1948 was a Friday and in most communities there is a Friday night football game. This night in Donora was no exception and many people went outside and in the local stadium for the big game.

Fluoride, whether in water or air, is a very strong toxin. The people in Donora were exposed to a massive amount of fluoride that night whether outside or inside. Twenty people died and sixty some people became disabled because of the weather inversion and fluoride Friday night and over the weekend.

The government did not want the truth to come out and they did not want US Steel to pay any money for this disaster. The people at Carnegie Institute did not want their best buds to pay out any compensation that might lower their profits. So the fix was on and between the government and Carnegie this whole affair was covered up and US Steel paid no compensation to the dead or disabled.

This is certainly an example of spin and cover up and this was 62 years ago. In other words, spin is not something that happened in the last 20 years or so.

Most of you have heard me say that Dr Atkins was ahead of his time when he said he could prevent heart disease, high blood pressure and diabetes/obesity. I assumed that he had a lot of original thinking on this matter but, alas, what is around has already been around. There was a man, William Banting in 1862 who was fat, or as they said, he was corpulent.

The long and the short of Banting was that he met William Harvey who had returned from France where he saw a lecture by Claude Bernard on diabetes. Bernard’s theory was that obesity was caused by carbohydrates and not by protein and saturated fats. Banting learned about this eating program from Harvey and in the ensuing 12 months or so he lost a lot of weight that had eluded him for many years. He avoided sugar and starches, particularly milk, bread, beer, sweets, and potatoes. He lost 50 pounds by early 1864.

He wrote a “Letter on Corpulence addressed to the public”. This became very popular and the “diet” became known as Bantingism. Shortly after this diet became popular it became known as Banting.

The difference between Banting and Atkins was that Banting had quality food from grass-fed beef, unpolluted fish and free-range healthy chickens. Atkins advocated the ingredients of Banting diet but other health issues are possible because of hormones, steroids, antibiotics and other toxic chemicals.

Most everyone knows or should know that there is a lot wrong with our health care system. We went from few heart attacks in 1900 to massive numbers today. In 1900, we had cancer as 3 % of the deaths and today cancer affects 40 % of the population. Obesity was not common and type II diabetes was not known, but today it is consuming the media who puts all the blame on individuals and none on their advertisers like cereal, soft drink and processed food manufacturers. There were few degenerative diseases in 1900 or very few until twenty or thirty years ago.

For the most part, there is no doubt that poor quality food and pollution have caused most of our health problems, but I recently found a video done by Professor Garth Nicolson PhD that will scare you to death. The topic is: New Emerging Infections: Their Development, Testing, and Resulting Chronic Illnesses. The following is a link to this video.

     http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5412136843859172148#   

http://www.projectdaylily.com/

The info from his video and the book he and his wife wrote is too extensive to go into now, but I think it is safe to say that this topic, Biologic warfare, was not in my mind set. I thought that the drug experimentation was over after the last seventy or eighty years. I remember that the government did research on black men in the south, retarded people, drug research on soldiers in the sixties and many other atrocities. The German’s did experimentation on Jews and political prisoners during World War II but once again I was Naïve to think those days were over in a civilized society.

Dr Nicolson has information that exposes biological experimentation in the Huntsville, Texas prison in the 70’s and 80’s. The infections created and tested in the prison for the prisoners spread to the guards and other employees of the prison. They created neurological disease that cause MS, ALA, Autism symptoms and other degenerative health problems.

This might not seem too bad since this is a small town in east Texas, but these are the same symptoms that have shown up the Gulf War Syndromes. Even Gulf War Syndrome is not the entire big picture. I have two friends from Iran (brothers) who emigrated from Iran to the US but their mother was living in Iran when Saddam Hussein, the president of Iraq, attacked Iran after the US hostage situation in 1979 and 1980. Their mother, as well as many other Iranians, has developed MS and other neurological disease from the weapons of mass destruction that Hussein used on the Iranian people. The war was common knowledge and we knew that the US supported Iraq because we were trying to get back at Iran for the embarrassment they created with the 50 prisoners they kept for about one year.

The rest of the story, as they say in the news, is that we attacked Iraq because of weapons of mass destruction. It was determined and reported in the news that we never found any weapons and it was hinted that maybe Hussein had shipped them to other countries; but after you watch Dr Nicolson’s video, you will realize that our military did find weapons of mass destruction. The government and the media did not report these facts because all the boxes and/or containers of the biologic weapons of mass destruction had United States addresses on the labels.

Do you recall the scud missiles that were fired in the Gulf War and the Iraqi war? Guess what folks, those missiles we loaded with biologic infections that we created at Fort Detrick MD, CDC, and other places in the US. These were the drug/agents that were used in the experimentation at the Huntsville Prison in east Texas.

Pandora had a box in mythical history during the Roman Empire and no one wanted the box to open for fear of what it would do to the world. I submit to you that Pandora’s box has been opened and biologics have been released. We are going to experience an even bigger portion of disease that the world has never seen. MS, ALS, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia and others yet to be named; medicine has no idea what is going on and will not bother to learn anything about these diseases so they can write prescriptions to make drug corporations even more wealthy. Drug corporations will do nothing just so they can sell drugs that do nothing to alleviate disease.

You ask, what is the point of all this in this newsletter? We have all been Naïve and we have a government and corporate structure that has gone wild in hurting people in the USA and all over the world to make money and control people. Will we ever get a government that represents the good in this nation?
