Obviously, the minute that J.D. Rockefeller's first bribe brought down the law in the first state that said that a corporation had to prove that it served the public's good.....it's been straight downhill to here from there.
Monsanto, anyone?
What sort of public does that corporation serve? Ah, of course....the Ted Turner elitist that want a world population of one half billion as per his Georgia Guide Stones....
Yep, that's it, can't think of anything else Monsanto is good for. DuPont is rocking right along behind them too, have you seen the slavery in Argentina? Maggoty meat? It's what they feed their Hispanic GMO field slaves.
But I've digressed.
We all know that guns are not dangerous, but rather, the person who is holding the gun might be dangerous. It's perfectly obvious that those who support the removal of guns from the populace are merely cowardly individuals who prefer the comfort of slavery, and have the utmost faith in the wholesomeness of slave-masters.
So too it is with all things science, for guns were just a physicist dream at one point in the past.

http://www.dailyfinance.com/blog/2010/02/04/monsanto-the-evil-corporation-in-your-refrigerator/
Long known as the single most evil corporation in the world, only Monsanto is in your refrigerator with poison exclusively - no other corporation has yet embraced the dark side quite like Monsanto - most corporations produce products that are safe to handle or be around.
But not Monsanto - they make food and poison - but their foods are poisons too, and there's never been a lawsuit for slandering Monsanto, as everything said about them on the negative end of things - is absolutely true. They don't make a product that is safe for consumption, or safe to even be around.
I sit here and await the reports that world patriots have burned their fields to ashes, and incinerated their facilities - factories of death.
Saint Louis Missouri is a fine old town - but as that is the Monsanto city of head quarters, it's rather expedient that Monsanto bribes or outright owns the press there. Let's have at it, world loving patriots, when shall I cease to wait to see the monopolized Khazarian mass media be forced to say that you've destroyed Monsanto?

A Rawesome Raid On Food Freedom
Posted below are videos with more live footage of food being confiscated in the Rawesome Raid last week along with interviews with members of Rawesome. This is a truly chilling example of our federal government overstepping their bounds and blatantly violating the constitutional rights of citizens. This is the prime example of the corporate takeover of our food supply and if you’re not afraid, you are not awake and not fully aware of the world we live in. Organic food is our right; freedom to choose our own foods is also our right.
They cannot take theses rights away without our consent.
According to reports from witnesses interviewed by Natural News Radio Sunday, August 7, 2011, $4,500 in cash was taken from the store and $9,000 confiscated from James Stewart, but only the $4,500 in cash was noted on the warrant. California law requires that all items seized at the raid are noted on the warrant, but the LA County Department of Public Health failed to note the $9,000, meaning there is no longer any paper trail for this cash that was taken from James Stewart. The $9,000 in cash was about to be used to acquire food products (honey, watermelons, eggs and others) that are offered to club members of Rawesome Foods.
Witness Lela Buttery states, “The warrant states that they are to take various samples of dairy products. It also says that they can take files, computers, hard drives, cash, etc., but they have to account for everything. So all of the milk that was dumped out is not accounted for. There’s a part of the warrant that they have to say what they confiscated. There were envelopes in the office that were already set out to pay these vendors… that was about $4500, but when Terrence Powell (Bureau Director, Specialized Surveillance & Enforcement Bureau of LA County Department of Public Health) asked James Stewart how much money is on the premises — that was one of the first questions that was asked — so he said he had nine grand on him, and Terrance asked why would you have so much money on you right now? That money was taken and on the currency sheet it is not on there. So I’m looking at some government agencies that are pocketing some dough right now.”

The Ashkenazi Jewish Agenda For Homosexuality.
Whenever I find outsomeone is gay, I make a mental note of it; and that's about it. That particular knowledge isn't very useful, but it is good to know so as to avoid certain topics or ideas in conversation, etc - so as to better be a persons friend. I like to believe that I'm pretty normal, and that I have a healthy attitude towards homosexuality. Gay is okay.
But is it okay to PUSH the gay agenda? Should people be ENCOURAGED to be homosexuals?
A couple years ago I was sitting in my parent's living room and talking to them while Mom flipped some channels on the television. I made some wisecrack about how every television show on every major network these days was doing "this," or doing "that;" and my Mother pointed out, rather shrewedly;
"Yes, and every single sit com these days has a gay subplot."
I realized that she's right about that. I don't have any interest at all in anything on television, so I spend probably 2 hours max per week watching television; but even with my miniscule exposure to the mind numbing poison of sexual promiscuity, rampant greed and materialism that those who own the media push - there certainly IS an agenda to push homosexuality, and of course, it comes from the same persons who own and control every last major news or entertainment media outlet of print, televised, or radio in the United States of America.
Look at the link - these things are fact, and easily verified. Ginsberg, the "beat poet," is as disgusting a human being as has ever existed. We're talking about a guy here that not only pushed a pro homosexuality agenda, but a pro pedophilia agenda as well.
"I know your afflictions and your poverty--yet you are rich! I know the slander of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan." The Revelation 2:9

The Death Of The Fourth Amendment.
Politicians and soldiers alike are sworn to protect and uphold the United States Constitution. It used to be, and still should be considered HIGH TREASON to openly violate the ideals of the United States Constitution and Bill of Rights - but that is what is going on more and more often here in the land that was once associated with things both free and brave.
In Indiana, that states Supreme Court has openly trampled upon the rights of it's citizens that had been granted in the Fourth Amendment to the Bill Of Rights. The Indiana Supreme Court Judges have VIOLATED what soldiers are sworn to uphold. What's happened is that the Indiana Supreme Court has ruled that any rogue police officer, and in effect, anyone pretending to be a police officer - can enter into your home without a warrant, and there's not a damned thing that you can do about it.
One of Two things needs to happen here, The Constitution of the United States of America and the Bill Of Rights either needs to be followed to the letter, or destroyed altogether. A divided house can not stand, and neither can a city with traitors within it's gates.

Monsanto's Poisonous and Cancerous Milk
Monsanto's Poisonous and Cancerous Milk
Monsanto is now poisoning America's milk supply with bovine growth hormone. The only testing that was done towards seeing if this synthetic hormone by Monsanto was safe for human consumption, as it inevitably makes it's way from cows to humans via milk; was a mere 90 days of testing on 30 rats, and rats are not humans; but this is how much the Monsanto corporation cares for humanity. Besides the Monsanto Suicides in India, and the horrific, and completely un-ethical practices against the farmers there, the attempt to force poison corn upon the French, and recent polls voting Monsanto as the World's most evil corporation. Monsanto has now been alleged to have actually threatened Fox News media should they even talk about Bovine Growth Hormone, the result was that fellow corporate fascist, Rupert Murdoch, pulled the story from seeing the light of day.
Let's not forget that Roundup, the only thing that keeps Monsanto a profitable company, is also poisonous to humans, and it makes it's way into our soil and our drinking water every time that someone uses it. Monsanto also makes nutrasweet, or aspartane, which, of course, is also poisonous to humans who consume such things. Are you seeing a pattern here yet?
Never fear though, Americans, Monsanto has lobbied to protect us all from healthy foods, and now seeks to make it criminal for us to grow our own foods, organic gardening, even when you are only growing foods for you and your family, can now get you thrown into prison. The only patriotic and sane thing that you can now do, is to BREAK THE LAW, and NEVER buy any Monsanto product. If you purchase Roundup herbicide YOU support a corporation that seeks to destroy YOU and YOUR FAMILY, and MINE.
The Monsanto Corporation must be completely destroyed and obliterated for the United States of America to remain a free and open society. The Monsanto corporation must be completely destroyed and obliterated for American Citizens to enjoy any sort of healthy lifestyle or diet.
No more excuses, if you purchase Roundup; you support your own death and destruction, and you support cancer for you and your children.

How The Methamphetamine Epidemic Was Created By Big Business, and For the Enslavement of Poor Whites.
The methamphetamine epidemic was no accident, my friends. The methamphetamine epidemic was foreshadowed by many years of legal use, and American doctors hooking as many future addicts, and others, as was humanly possible. Following that, it was made illegal, and then it's traditional method of manufacture was destroyed by a brilliant chemist and a brilliant chemical blocking agent, and this ensured the HUGE profits that were and still are reaped with the sales of pseudo ephedrine. Not only that, this all occurred around the same time that the CIA's South Central Los Angeles "crack epidemic" was ended by the Rodney King beatings and the L.A. riots. Obviously, the heat was on - and a new victim was needed to replace poor blacks. Obviously, the meth epidemic, plotted and controlled - victimized poor whites.

UAE Prince Hires Blackwater Founder to Build Private Army
The crown prince of Abu Dhabi has enlisted the infamous founder of Blackwater security services to build him an 800-member private army of foreign troops for the United Arab Emirates.
According to documents obtained by the New York Times Erik Prince’s new company, Reflex Responses, was hired and paid $529 million by the prince to form a new battalion of foreign fighters to carry out special operations, destroy internal revolts and defend urban areas and oil fields from terrorist attacks.
Troops are believed to have been brought to the UAE from Columbia, South Africa and other nations and are being trained by retired US military personnel and Germany and British special operations experts and member of the French Foreign Legion.Read Full Story on RT

Using Disinformation For Personal Protection.
In modern America, the United States Constitution is no longer the guiding document of principles used to govern. Our founding fathers in this nation provided us with the finest legal document and government design that had ever been created in the history of the entire world. But modern American leadership trashed that document.
Running rampant in America today are militarized police forces that use LRAD weapons against peaceful college students. The greatest violation, by far, of the Constitution - the "patriot act" has been used not for it's stated purpose, but to continue on with the "war on drugs," civil asset forfeitures, and the forced submission of once proud people's to a tyrannical and oppressive state that stresses the value of groups of corporate profiteers over the individual liberties that we once enjoyed.
The American mass media all the while plays up a two party paradigm which allows those sleepy headed foolish Americans to point fingers, and assure themselves that if only their side was in control, then things would be different. Being delusional is part of the script provided for us all.
We no longer have honorable leaders or institutions. Our leaders only lie when their gums are bumping against each other, and our once fine institutions, like the institution of America peace officers, no longer deserve any honor or respect - as often as not. We Americans no longer have the responsibility to be honest with liars, we have no bonds forcing us to show integrity to corruption. Using disinformation for personal protection is not only viable, but necessary in the larger sense, and in the smaller, day to day sense.

Civil Asset Forfeiture
Outside of being murdered or imprisoned by police, the worst crime perpetrated by those sworn to serve and to protect against the citizens of any given precinct is to suffer civil asset forfeiture. "Civil asset forfeiture" is a polite police term for ROBBERY. You have to have polite terminology to differentiate yourself from those that you seemingly oppose, but still very much resemble.
You have to realize that someone having a "good guy" badge in no way makes one what they claim to be - think of it as "acting."
In tough economic times we as citizens have a whole lot more to worry about from predatory police than just increased traffic fines. Your car, your only transportation to the job that sustains you could be taken from you, sold, and perhaps the police will get those new softball uniforms they've "needed" for so very long? Your very home could be taken from you for the most fabricated bits of evidence - it's your word against theirs, and where is your "good guy" uniform?
Civil Asset Forfeiture is a legal device on the books, but when people learn to vote with their dollars - all anti Constitutional legislation can be overturned.

Monsanto and Genetically Modified Soy - It's Poison.
There is never enough that can be said about just how awful the American corporation Monsanto truly is. When you think about it, there should probably be a law against corporations that used to make chemical weapons from merging into the food business. That seems rather obvious, doesn't it?
Besides the facts that soy upsets human hormonal balances in and of itself, the genetically modified version made by Monsanto, of course, is even worse. I'm not aware of a single good that Monsanto produces that isn't toxic to humans - please let me know if you happen to know of one.
"Roundup Ready!" Yes, indeed - but Roundup is toxic to humans, and when you spray it on weeds it gets into the soil, and the water
I don't know many Americans who know who and what Monsanto is. Luckily for the Europeans, they do know, and now our Untied States Government wants to punish nations like France and Germany for NOT wanting to buy poison. Monsanto poison is sold everywhere here though.

History of Monsanto; Profiteer of World Food Crisis
*The World Bank says that 100 million more people are facing severe hunger. Yet some of the world's richest food companies are making record profits. Monsanto last month reported that its net income for the three months up to the end of February this year had more than doubled over the same period in 2007, from $543m (£275m) to $1.12bn. Its profits increased from $1.44bn to $2.22bn.... The Food and Agriculture Organisation reports that 37 developing countries are in urgent need of food. And food riots are breaking out across the globe from Bangladesh to Burkina Faso, from China to Cameroon, and from Uzbekistan to the United Arab Emirates. Benedict Southworth, director of the World Development Movement, called the escalating earnings and profits *immoral* late last week. He said that the benefits of the food price increases were being kept by the big companies, and were not finding their way down to farmers in the developing world. Multinationals make billions in profit out of growing global food crisis In fact, Monsanto ... has gotten farmers to accept seed prices twice the level of a decade ago*
Best known for the toxic pesticide, Round-Up, Monsanto is a leading global provider of agricultural products and systems. Created in 1901 by John Francis Queeny and named for his wife's family, the company produces biotechnology and genomics and herbicides for corn, cotton, oil seeds, and vegetables. They also produce genetically altered seeds to tolerate its flagship product, Roundup.
In the past decade, Monsanto remade itself from toxic pesticide producer into a major seed and biotech company, as opposed to one focused on agrochemicals. The transition was accelerated by the acquisition of Delta and Pine Land. Other products have included Agent Orange, the now ubiquitous PCBs, DDT, Recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone (rBGH) and Aspartame.
In the fiscal year ending in August of 2010, the company reported sales of approximately 10.5 billion dollars and had 27,600 employees.
Many people are unaware that the friendly makers of RoundUp were heavily involved in the creation of the first nuclear bomb for the Manhattan Project during WWII. The Dayton Project was headed by Charlie Thomas, Director of Monsanto's Central Research Department. He later became the company's president. Monsanto also operated a nuclear facility for the federal government in Miamisburg, Ohio, called the Mound Project, until the 1980s.
In the 1950's, Monsanto created several attractions in Disney's Tomorrow Land. These rides/attractions were blatantly used to promote and advertise the virtues of chemicals and plastics. The Monsanto *House of the Future* was constructed entirely of plastic and years later found to be nearly indestructible.
Agent Orange was manufactured by Monsanto, Dow Chemicals (manufacturers of napalm), Uniroyal, Hercules, Diamond Shamrock, Thompson Chemical and TH Agriculture. Monsanto [was] the main supplier. The Agent Orange produced by Monsanto had dioxin levels many times higher than that produced by Dow Chemicals, the other major supplier of Agent Orange to Vietnam.... Monsanto's involvement with the production of dioxin contaminated 2,4,5-T dates back to the late 1940s. 'Almost immediately workers started getting sick with skin rashes, inexplicable pains in the limbs, joints and other parts of the body, weakness, irritability, nervousness and loss of libido,' to quote Peter Sills, author of a forthcoming book on dioxins. Internal Monsanto memos show that Monsanto knew of the problems but once again a cover-up was the order of the day....
Let's not forget to mention that Monsanto partially funds the anti-organic Center for Global Food Issues, a project of the right-wing Hudson Institute. It is run by Dennis Avery and his son Alex Avery. Both men have been to repeatedly distort studies or cite non-existent studies while acting as Monsanto’s official spin masters against natural and organic foods.
Among other major humanitarian accomplishments, Monsanto developed special *Terminator Technology*, a.k.a. *suicide seeds*, known technically as V-GURTs (varietal Genetic Use Restriction Technologies) in which the seeds resulting from the first year's planting would be sterile thereby forcing farmers around the world in the Roundup Ready System to buy their seed from them every year rather than saving their best seed for the next years planting, a traditional and economical practice.
Repeated warnings were also given that Monsanto's terminator genes could spread to wild plants. According to the UN Commission on Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture, *Cross-fertilizing V-GURT containing crops may cause considerable effects in neighboring crop stands and wild relatives.... The fact that in North America, large stands of GMO varieties are grown & contamination of non-GMO varieties by GMO germplasm has been observed ... suggests that this scenario is a realistic probability*
Food crops are not the only area Monsanto and others have hoped to cash in on with their technology; a range of genetically engineered "designer" trees and forests are also high on their list. From trees modified to withstand Monsanto's Roundup to trees designed with a reduced lignin content (lignin gives trees strength and rigidity) to appeal to the paper making and construction industry to "terminator trees" which don't produce seeds. This has met with fierce resistance from activists and scientists alike, but again, to no avail.
Growth in Dairy -The FDA approved the use of recombinant bovine growth hormone (rbGH) being injected into cows on February 4th, 1994. Both Europe and Canada turned down Monsanto's application for approval. Developed and manufactured by the Monsanto, this genetically engineered hormone forces cows to artificially increase milk production by 10 to 15%. (Note: rBGH is banned in every industrialized country in the world except for the U.S., Mexico and Brazil.) Posilac (rBGH) creates additional Growth Factor One (IGF-1) in milk (a growth hormone which is identical in cows and humans). IGF-1 is considered to be a fuel cell for cancer growth and has been identified in the rapid growth cancer. Cows injected with rBGH also have a 25% increase in udder infections and a 50% increase in lameness.
The need for any increase in milk production is questionable since the dairy industry has been overproducing for 60 years. Between 1986 and 1987, under the Dairy Termination Program, dairy farmers were paid over 1.3 billion dollars to slaughter their cows. 144 dairy producers received over one million apiece to refrain from dairy farming for five years and one California producer received 20 million dollars.
In August 2008, Monsanto sold their Posilac division to none other than pharmaceutical giant and makers of Prozac, Eli Lilly for a mere $300 million dollars.
Recently, U.S. organic farmers and seed dealers, along with The Public Patent Foundation (PUBPAT), have filed a lawsuit on behalf of more than 50 organizations challenging the agricultural giant's patents on its genetically modified seeds. The group is seeking a ruling that would prohibit Monsanto from suing the farmers or dealers if their organic seed becomes contaminated with Monsanto's patented biotech seed germplasm.
Monsanto has an annual budget of $10 million dollars and a staff of 75 devoted solely to investigating and prosecuting farmers. The largest recorded judgment made thus far in favor of Monsanto as a result of a farmer lawsuit is $3,052,800.00. Total recorded judgments granted to Monsanto for lawsuits amount to $15,253,602.82. Farmers have paid a mean of $412,259.54 for cases with recorded judgments.
2010 Campaign Cycle Contributions (Openly) Made By Monsanto
Monsanto gave $658,207 to federal candidates in the 2010 election cycle through its political action committee (PAC) alone - 48% to Democrats, 52% to Republicans.
Largest contribution was to Roy Blunt R-MO $10,000. Monsanto's second favored was the appropriately named Mike Crapo R-ID. $9,500 However, Monsanto has not forgotten its Democratic friends. Blanche Lincoln D-AL, chairman of the Senate Ag committee got $7,500.
Monsanto spent $6,560,000 for lobbying in 2010. $1,030,000 was to outside lobbying firms with the remainder being spent using in-house lobbyists.
In the last few months, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has cleared the way for biotech sugar beets, alfalfa, and a new type of biotech corn developed for use in ethanol.
Top biotechnology companies are Monsanto, DuPont, Syngenta and Bayer. (Syngentais owned by AstraZeneca and Novartis. Aventis' agribusiness division was bought out by Bayer.) Together they account for almost 100% of the genetically engineered seed and 60% of the global pesticide market. After numerous acquisitions, they now own 23% of the commercial seed market. In 1999, almost 80% of total global transgenic acreage was planted in GMO soy, corn, cotton and canola. Until then, farmers could spray herbicides before planting, but not after, as herbicides would kill the intended crop. The other 20% of genetically modified acreage is planted with crops that produce pesticides. Monsanto’s *New Leaf* potato kills potato beetles, but is itself registered as a pesticide with the EPA. The five largest biotech companies in the world are also the five largest herbicide companies.
Since 1990, the United States of Monsanto, er, CorpoAmerica, I mean, er – our duly and fairly elected government official have claimed that genetically modified foods are no different from their natural counterparts that have existed for centuries. This is a political, not a scientific assertion.
Numerous scientists at the FDA consistently described these newly introduced gene-spliced foods as cause for concern. In addition to their potential to produce hard-to-detect allergies and nutritional problems, the scientists said that *The possibility of unexpected, accidental changes in genetically engineered plants might produce unexpected high concentrations of plant toxicants.* GM crops might also have *Increased levels of known naturally occurring toxins…appearance of new, not previously identified* toxins, and an increased tendency to gather *toxic substances from the environment* such as *pesticides or heavy metals.*
The scientists recommended testing every GM food before it enters the marketplace. But the FDA was under orders from the first Bush White House to promote the biotechnology industry, and the political appointee in charge of agency policy was the former attorney for biotech giant Monsanto—and later became their vice president. The FDA policy ignored the scientists’ warnings and allowed GM food crops onto the market without any required safety studies.
Since polls indicate that the great majority of Americans who are aware of these issues want labels on all GMO products. Many question why consumers in Europe have the right to know through labeling which foods contain GM ingredients and thus to make an informed choice – while consumers in the United States, purportedly the bastion of freedom, democracy and the *free market* in the world are denied this same right?
Attempts to accomplish some kind of labeling have repeatedly been rebuffed due to tremendous opposition from biotech, which fear loss of sales if people know. For example, in 2002 Oregon tried and failed to pass just such a labeling initiative (Measure 27). The campaign cited big money and misinformation propagated by biotech as contributing to the defeat.
Monsanto, ever on the lookout for a new financial opportunity, especially one which, on the surface at least, appears to be benevolent found one in biofuels. The growing of corn, in Monsanto's case, genetically engineered corn, for the production of ethanol purportedly to reduce the use of fossil fuels. Unfortunately though, as is often the case with Monsanto, this silver lining has a rather large and ominous cloud, and in the massive diversion of land once used to grow food to growing crops for the fueling of automobiles yet another crisis has ensued.
David Pimentel, Cornell professor in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, was quoted as saying,*Abusing our precious croplands to grow corn for an energy-inefficient process that yields low-grade automobile fuel amounts to unsustainable, subsidized food burning* In 2004 George Monbiot warned that *The adoption of biofuels would be a humanitarian and environmental disaster*. *Surely, if there was unmet demand for food, the market would ensure that crops were used to feed people rather than vehicles? There is no basis for this assumption. The market responds to money, not need. People who own cars have more money than people at risk of starvation. In a contest between their demand for fuel and poor people’s demand for food, the car-owners win every time*. That is precisely what happened. As the world pays more to eat due to the engineered shortage of land for food crops & driving up prices Monsanto et al. have been making gigantic profits.
The President of the United Nations General Assembly stated,
*The essential purpose of food, which is to nourish people, has been subordinated to the economic aims of a handful of multinational corporations that monopolize all aspects of food production, from seeds to major distribution chains, and they have been the prime beneficiaries of the world crisis. A look at the figures for 2007, when the world food crisis began, shows that corporations such as Monsanto and Cargill, which control the cereals market, saw their profits increase by 45 and 60 per cent, respectively; the leading chemical fertilizer companies such as Mosaic Corporation, a subsidiary of Cargill, doubled their profits in a single year*.
These agri-giants spent $100 million on getting their way in the Farm Bill, an investment with huge dividends – for Monsanto’s CEO Hugh Grant anyway. Grant chose to exercise stock options - 116,000 shares worth – that netted him a profit of over $114 PER SHARE making him a hefty $13,000,000 off this perfectly legit little deal.
A report by Friends of the Earth revealed that between 2008 and 2022 federal subsidies (paid for with OUR taxpayer dollars) to the biofuel industry will total over $400 billion dollars.
If Obama proposals for 60 billion gallons per year are realized, subsidies would top $120 billion per year by the end of the period. This would result in a cumulative subsidy of more than $1 trillion. In return for this modest investment, we will accelerate land conversion and exacerbate a wide range of environmental problems. Already, the ecological impact of increased biofuels production is evident, both in the U.S. and abroad, including deforestation, water pollution and increased greenhouse gas emissions.

State Police Using Cellphone Extraction Devices
It is no shock to me that there are devices that can get into your computer and steal or manipulate information you have stored on it. But now Federal and State police can now extract information from your cellphone without your knowledge.
Imagine being stopped because you went through an intersection as the light went red and the local police pull you over. While they are running your license and registration they also go through your cell phone without you knowledge. It is happening right now in this country. The Department of Homeland Security has taken it upon themselves to even do this to traveler's laptops when going through the airport, ports of entry and Border Patrol check stations up to 100 miles inside the US.
The state of Michigan' State Police are even have used these devices to access information from cellphones that officers asked drivers they have pulled over to give them. Giving your private information to any local, state or federal official should not be asked at a traffic stop, coming into our country or even being in our country. The 4th Amendment which guards against unreasonable searches and seizures should include our computers and cellphones. Oh wait a minute it does but that damn Patriot Act thing is still stripping away our rights.
The state of Michigan's ACLU has asked the Michigan State Police (MSP) why they are using these "Extraction devices" but the MSP have been throwing some red tape out there to get this information. The MSP have said that they are working "in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act."
OK, cool let me request the information. I know there is a small fee for the information so, what's it going to cost to get the information from these devices? According to the Michigan State Police the information for these devices under the FOIA is going to cost about $500,000.00. The is a big red tape being wrapped with a not a chance from the State Police.
So if you get pulled over, stopped at a Border Patrol Check Station or going through an airport do not give them your cellphone or computer. It is best to always have them turned off and even the battery removed to prevent them from accessing your private information.

Corporate Driven Nanny State Declares War On Parental Rights
Hey, American Parents! Listen up! This is a warning shot fired across the hood of your SUV, your eco-car or whatever you may chariot your children around in to transport them into the ever-lovin' arms of their (socialist overrun and/or corporate owned) learning institutions.
This article cited below out of Chicago is chilling and if other parents in other cities, counties and states are not made aware of the corporate and profit driven motives and influences behind these kinds of *district wide* mandates, they too will find themselves with children being fed the same low cost, soy and hormone filled meals they also feed to the convicts down the road.
At his public school, Little Village Academy on Chicago's West Side, students are not allowed to pack lunches from home. Unless they have a medical excuse, they must eat the food served in the cafeteria.
As a mother, no matter how unconventional of one I may be, I do not recall ever wanting some corporation or state run institution to mandate what my children put into their bodies. My children are not now, nor have they ever been, state property - there is no way in HELL that I would ever give away my parental rights and consent to my child to being force fed unhealthy, unnatural and genetically overrun FOOD PRODUCTS.
Anyone concerned about the quality of food in their school districts needs to research which food distribution corporation holds the contract for their county or district. If your child's cafeteria has recently been *updated*, renamed into some cool sounding mall hangout or splashed with bright colors and other visual stimuli meant to detract from the actual quality of food, it is likely sign of outside private interest influences. Corporations like SODEXHO and Aramark spend millions in researching ways to *sell* YOUR KIDS into a lifestyle of corporate owned foods and food sources.
The full article of the Chicago school district's takeover of parental rights can be found on the Chicago Tribune. I suggest every parent go read it and take warning; there is a concerted effort by corporations to take over control of your children, of their values and perceptions of moral and ethical behaviors...they spend millions - if not billions, of dollars paying experts to dissect your kids' brains and manipulate them into being hooked on their products from the cradle to the grave. They do not have your best interest at heart and think nothing of paying off local and state legislators in contributions, vacations, etc., and then following up with well studied sales pitches of saving money for the schools that fiscally scared folks eat right up.
The Chicago story clearly states,
Any school that bans homemade lunches also puts more money in the pockets of the district's food provider, Chartwells-Thompson.** The federal government pays the district for each free or reduced-price lunch taken, and the caterer receives a set fee from the district per lunch.
Unless you are willing to trust that a corporation that exists to make maximum profit with minimum expenditure knows more about the health and well being of your children, it is time to sit up and pay attention. Find out which corporations and industries are taking over your schools and do not ever allow them to take away YOUR RIGHT to send your kid to school with a homemade lunch!
Thank you, Mr. Shaw - you set fire in me about this again with your email this morning and set me off on a right and proper motherly rant!
** For those not familiar with Chartwells-Thompson
the following excerpt will help you see how they operate and how
they manage to game the system to benefit from government hand-outs
at the expense of local tax and federal taxpayers, of course.
Chartwells and Thompson (a minority owned business that has a strategic partnership with Chartwells parent Compass Group North America to co-manage select public food service contracts) received a one-year deal in St. Louis whose cost is contingent on overall student enrollment and on the number qualifying for federally subsidized school meals.

Presenting President Barry At Open Mic Night...
Our president was on the hot mike yesterday in what he thought was a private chat with campaign donors. Barry offered candid, behind the scenes details concerning his budget ‘negotiations’ with GOP leaders. (At this point we use the word ‘leader’ loosely for both sides of the political aisle) Mark Knoller, White House Correspondent, listened in to an audio feed of the conversation with donors, after reporters had left the room…
Obama is heard whining like a kicked dog about Republican attempts to attach measures to the budget bill which would have effectively killed parts of his ‘hard-won’ health care reform program.
He complains how rough it was on him as he had to travel the country and push the health care bill through, “At great political cost” and went on to more or less say that after all his toil and suffering by damned if anyone was going to stop the bill now.
Speaking about his closed-door negotiations on the bill to fund the federal government until September, he told the pirates, er, lobbyists…oops, we mean the campaign donors - "I said, 'You want to repeal health care? Go at it. We'll have that debate. You're not going to be able to do that by nickel-and-diming me in the budget. You think we're stupid?”
No sir, we do not think you are stupid; your actions since taking office has removed all doubt and we know that stupid is far too kind a word to use for what the majority of the country thinks of you. Didn’t your mammy ever tell you not to ask questions you don’t really want the answers to?
