…We Stayed Dedicated to Peace

On October 7, 2023, when the continued Israeli-Palestinian battle erupted, we renewed our dedication to dismantling the military-industrial advanced and ending wars of empire by signing the World Beyond War peace pledge which reads:

“I perceive that wars and militarism make us much less protected somewhat than defend us, that they kill, injure and traumatize adults, kids and infants, severely harm the pure setting, erode civil liberties, and drain our economies, siphoning sources from life-affirming actions. I commit to interact in and help nonviolent efforts to finish all battle and preparations for battle and to create a sustainable and simply peace.”

On December 22, President Joe Biden licensed a document $886 billion in Pentagon spending when he signed Congress’s Nationwide Protection Authorization Act (NDAA), one of many few main items of laws Congress passes yearly. (Working example, Congress was imagined to rewrite the Farm Bill this 12 months, however as a substitute legislators procrastinated by passing a 1-year extension.)

About $60 billion of that goes straight to for-profit army contractors, proving what General Smedley Butler stated almost 100 years in the past, that battle is a racket. As Andrew Cockburn chronicled in his 2021 e-book, The Spoils of War, army spending is pushed by army contractors. 

Stephen Semler, cofounder of Safety Coverage Reform Institute, uncovered the NDAA as company welfare and referred to as out its International Army Financing program as “a multibillion-dollar present card for non-US nations to purchase weapons from US companies.” Based on Semler, the NDAA consists of “$1.7 billion in FMF cash for Ukraine, $3.5 billion for Israel (on prime of the $3.Three billion it receives yearly), and $2 billion for nations within the Indo-Pacific area as a part of the administration’s aggressive China coverage.”

Struggle is paid for with our tax {dollars}, nevertheless it goes with out saying that there are larger prices, probably the most heartbreaking being the folks killed, injured and traumatized.

There are additionally tolls on our privateness and freedom. The NDAA included a four-month extension of the Nationwide Safety Company (NSA)’s notorious warrantless domestic surveillance program, referred to as Part 702 of the International Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).

A value of battle that’s hardly ever talked about is its influence on meals safety and farming.

Since October 7, Israel has suspended work permits for about 130,000 Palestinian farm workers from the occupied West Financial institution.

On December 18, Human Rights Watch stated that the Israeli authorities was utilizing starvation as a weapon of war towards civilians within the Gaza Strip, which is a battle crime. On December 26, Palestine’s International Ministry stated that more than a million people in Gaza are starving and referred to as on the United Nations to formally declare a famine. 

The day earlier than, on December 25, the Meals Industries Affiliation of Israel acknowledged that roughly 90 percent of Israel’s food production is located in conflict zones and urged the federal government to behave to forestall a meals disaster.

In Ukraine, in response to the Transnational Institute, the battle has put 30 p.c of land out of manufacturing. 

Giant industrial farms, which produce 53.9 p.c of the agricultural output (household farmers produce the opposite 46.1 p.c), get a disproportionate share–70 p.c–of subsidies from the Ukrainian authorities. Household farms don’t get a lot help from the federal government, however they “produce 95% of potatoes produced in Ukraine, 85% of greens, 80% of fruits and berries, about 75% of milk and greater than 35% of meat.”

About two-thirds (65%) of household farmers rising crops and nearly half (45%) of household farmers elevating livestock have skilled war-related hardships. The explosion of the Kahkovskaya dam left 250,000 hectares with out irrigation within the Kherson area the place household farms develop greens. 

Regardless of these challenges, household farms have confirmed extra resilient than industrial farms, no less than in with the ability to proceed to supply meals. That doesn’t imply they’re not struggling. As much as 55 p.c of the inhabitants of Ukraine reside under the poverty line now, in comparison with 2.5 p.c earlier than the battle. 

Agribusiness is poised to use the financial weak spot of household farmers they usually’re about to get their alternative as a regulation is ready to take impact that lifts a ban on gross sales of farmland to companies. Over the objections of Ukraine’s household farmers, beginning January 1, 2024, the U.S.-backed Zelensky Administration will let home firms buy as much as 10,000 hectares.

…We Discovered Out What’s In Artificial “Milk”

On October 27, 2023, information broke of the first-ever full-spectrum molecular analysis of synthetic milk.

Earlier than this date, we knew the “milk” was constructed from “precision fermentation” and that it concerned yeast and fungal cells genetically engineered to supply “whey protein”.

However we didn’t really know what was within the “milk” till Dr. John Fagan did a full spectrum molecular evaluation to detect and quantify each molecular species it contained.

The information was stunning. A “milk” product marketed as “dairy-identical” contained fungicide, quinic acid, normorphine, hesperidin, convallatoxin, and 92 extra small molecules actually unknown to science.

“Principally there are 92 compounds recognized in synbio milk that aren’t named by scientists,” Dr. Fagan informed Meals Enterprise Information. “No person has checked out them for security, vitamin, or high quality.”

The “milk” has been via the GRAS course of on the Meals and Drug Administration. GRAS is a loophole that lets firms self-designate their meals components as “Usually Acknowledged as Protected.” GRAS substances can enter the meals provide with out having to undergo FDA’s extra rigorous premarket assessment and approval course of.

The GRAS submission Good Day despatched to the Meals and Drug Administration for its non-dairy “whey protein” is filled with worrisome info:

ALLERGENS – The extent of the genetically engineered Trichoderma reesei fungus pressure that produces the artificial protein within the ultimate product is at 6.7 p.c. Three T. reesei proteins confirmed similarities to identified allergens (Cryptomeria, Juniperus; Penicillium chrysogenum; and Home mud mites).

HEAVY METALS – “Non-dairy whey protein” comprises arsenic at 16.eight ppb. (There isn’t a protected degree of arsenic. The Environmental Safety Company takes motion when water samples are over 10 ppb.) It comprises lead at 59.Three ppb. (There isn’t a protected degree of lead. The EPA takes motion when water samples are over 15 ppb.)

The GRAS submission makes no point out of the 92 thriller molecules that Dr. John Fagan discovered within the synbio milk. Not one of the thriller molecules are GRAS or have undergone any FDA assessment.

…We Misplaced Our Beloved Ronnie

On April 27, 2023, Ronnie Cummins, co-founder (together with his spouse Rose Welch) of the Natural Customers Affiliation, handed away.

We proceed to be impressed and guided by Ronnie. We all the time will. It’s a nice consolation to learn his phrases and watch recordings of him talking and singing and taking part in guitar. We love the quote chosen by Think Regeneration of their remembrance. It’s from the Acres U.S.A. convention in 2017, when Ronnie was on a panel with Vandana Shiva and André Leu. Fred Walters requested them, “How, within the face of all you see, do you keep constructive and completely happy?” Ronnie answered:

“I don’t really feel in the slightest degree drained, you realize. However, I feel there’s a… I feel there’s an inside planetary drive on the market that, if you get opened as much as it, you get this energy, and it makes you smile on a regular basis. And I consider that we now have… we will faucet into this drive and that may make us invincible. You recognize, it’s arduous to all the time really feel that drive—that solidarity, that compassion, that no matter it’s—I don’t know precisely what it’s, however more often than not it’s there. And it is a massive universe—we don’t perceive what’s occurring, completely. We don’t perceive the place it got here from, or the place it’s going, or every part in it, however I feel it’s worthwhile attempting to domesticate private well being. You recognize, psychological and bodily, and getting out in nature, and being in touch with magnificence and the sacredness of all of it, and possibly the sacred herbs, too. I imply, I’ve all the time been a believer within the sacred herbs, however that’s why I’m a cheerful man, and I’m going to remain like that till…

 “You recognize, I imply, I’m going to die in some unspecified time in the future, however hopefully not earlier than we’ve gained. However, I really suppose I’m going to return again in some type. I’m undecided what it’s, however I’m going to return again to benefit from the fruits of my labor and all of our labor, so I sit up for seeing you in any of these types.”

…the California GMO Mosquito Launch Was Canceled

On Could 11, 2023, Oxitec withdrew its software to experimentally launch tens of millions of GMO mosquitoes in California.

GMO mosquitoes are supposed to scale back native populations of diseases-causing mosquitoes by transmitting a gene that causes the mosquitoes to die within the absence of the antibiotic tetracycline. 

The difficulty is, tetracycline is ubiquitous. It’s used as a human medication. It’s given to factory-farmed animals prophylactically. It’s sprayed on fruit bushes to forestall illness. It contaminates water and meals. It wouldn’t be arduous in any respect for mosquitoes to be uncovered to sufficient tetracycline to remain alive.

Oxitec has admitted this downside, acknowledging analysis the place mosquitoes had been uncovered to sufficient tetracycline to outlive by way of cat meals!

Florida is the one place within the U.S. the place GMO mosquitoes have been launched.

This 12 months in Florida, locally-acquired dengue instances reached a document excessive of 138.

…We Discovered Out mRNA Vaccines Had been Being Given to Meals Animals

On January 11, 2023, Robert Malone broke the information that mRNA vaccines had been already getting used on livestock. James Corbett and Dr. Joseph Mercola quickly revealed follow-up investigations.

We’d normally inform you to purchase USDA Natural to keep away from genetically modified organisms (GMOs), however OrganicEye reminded us this 12 months that genetically engineered vaccines are still being used illegally in organic. If that’s occurring, what’s to cease mRNA vaccines from being utilized in natural?

…Cummins and Mercola’s The Fact About COVID-19 Proved Prophetic

On April 17, 2023, one other layer of the official story of the origin of COVID-19 was cemented in Robert Kadlec’s Muddy Waters report for Sen. Roger Marshall, M.D.

Contemplate the supply. Because the Assistant Secretary for Pandemic Response (ASPR), a place he created lengthy earlier than COVID, Robert Kadlec was, for all intents and functions, the Czar of Biowarfare with the ability to funnel billions to his mates within the vaccine business. Whitney Webb’s Engineering Contagion collection chronicled Kadlec’s position in a previous Plandemic, the 2001 anthrax assaults, traced by the FBI again to the U.S. bioweapons establishment. Vaccine maker Emergent Biosolutions, an organization Kadlec had (has?) a monetary stake in, profited handsomely from each anthrax and COVID-19.

In Muddy Waters, Kadlec made a number of unsubstantiated claims in help of his speculation that COVID originated in “an unintentional research-related incident.”

When you’ve learn Ronnie Cummins and Dr. Joseph Mercola’s bestseller The Fact About COVID-19: Exposing the Nice Reset, Lockdowns, Vaccine Passports and the New Regular, Why We Should Unite in a World Motion for Well being and Freedom, you realize there was nothing unintentional concerning the Plandemic.

In Muddy Waters, Robert Kadlec hints, with out elaborating, at:

1. The “circumstances across the obvious loss of life” of Chinese language coronavirus vaccine researcher Zhou Yusen who “might” have performed analysis on the Wuhan Institute of Virology in 2019.

On June 17, 2023, the Daily Mail embellished this, reporting (with out citing its supply) that “US investigators are stated to have been informed ‘Zhou fell from the roof of the Institute’, though this has not been confirmed.” Then, on June 19, the National Review ran with this, suggesting that it was Robert Kadlec who was the supply of this declare, although it was not included in his report. In an interview with SkyNews revealed November 28, Kadlec would neither verify nor deny the rumor he began.

1. The “a number of researchers contained in the WIV [who] turned sick in autumn 2019, earlier than the primary recognized case of the outbreak, with signs in keeping with each COVID-19 and customary seasonal sicknesses.”

That rumor had first popped up in an intelligence report that got here out whereas Kadlec was nonetheless ASPR, so there’s no saying he didn’t create it, nevertheless it was “confirmed” when an unnamed supply (Kadlec?) informed Michael Shellenberger, Matt Taibbi and Alex Gutentag (June 13, 2023) that the three had been Ben Hu, Yu Ping, and Yan Zhu. The rumor was squelched when the scientists cleared their names by chatting with Science (June 23, 2023). 

Why would Kadlec go up to now out on a limb as to concoct such daring and simply disproved fictions as these?

The primary motive is that the general public will be counted on to consider something that confirms our suspicions that COVID leaked from a lab–although it defies logic to suppose that the companies and authoritarian governments that benefited from the lockdowns and vaccine mandates had been simply ready round for an accident to occur. They performed dozens of pandemic planning occasions just like the World Economic Forum and Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation’s Event 201 and drafted paperwork just like the Rockefeller Basis’s Scenarios for the Future of Technology and International Development that included the “Lock Step” state of affairs the place a worldwide pandemic gives the chance for a “world of tighter top-down authorities management and extra authoritarian management.”

The second motive is that he has to. The 2001 anthrax assaults had been finally pinned on Fort Detrick scientist Bruce Ivins, although he didn’t have entry to the weaponized silicon microencapsulated anthrax commissioned by the Protection Superior Analysis Initiatives Company (DARPA) that was used within the 2001 assaults. Ivins was a handy fall man as a result of he was useless and his loss of life was dominated a suicide. The official story of the origin of COVID-19 will even have a fall-guy, and it might simply as simply be Robert Kadlec as anybody else if he doesn’t play his playing cards proper. So long as he blames China, the origins of COVID-19 don’t get caught up in scandals he’s related to that hyperlink vaccine producers like Emergent Biosolutions to the Plandemic.

The third motive is that this works nice for China. Each time the U.S. comes out with the brand new tales about how COVID-19 leaked from the Wuhan lab, the Chinese language international minister makes a press release like this one revealed to Twitter on June 26, reminding the world that there’s simply as a lot proof that SARS-CoV-2 got here from Fort Detrick (shutdown in 2019 concurrently the EVALI vaping disease): “The US ought to cease smearing others and begin sharing information about its early suspected COVID-19 instances and biolabs, FM spokeswoman Mao Ning stated, after the US declassified a report about potential hyperlinks between Wuhan Institute of Virology and the pandemic’s origin.”

The toughest factor for any of us to wrap our heads round is the likelihood that China and the U.S. conspired to create the Plandemic collectively. However, at Occasion 201, there was Avril Haines, now Director of Nationwide Intelligence, sitting proper subsequent to George Gao, the Anthony Fauci of China, speaking about how finest to censor details about vaccine risks and drive the “vaccine hesitant” to get jabbed. And, true to the plan, the U.S. and China performed out the Plandemic, from lockdowns to vaccine mandates, in just about the identical approach.

Kadlec’s Muddy Waters report doesn’t point out: 

1. Ralph Baric, the College of North Carolina scientist who, in 2015, revealed a gain-of-function experiment he had performed on bat coronaviruses collected by the Wuhan Institute of Virology, however didn’t share the sequence of the chimeric virus he had created then till Could 2020, lengthy after rumors had been flying about how he might have created SARS-CoV02.
2. Anthony Fauci who, alongside Jeremy Farrar (then operating the Wellcome Belief, now Chief Scientist on the World Well being Group), coordinated the early 2020 COVID origins cover-up. He made certain that the entire scientists prepared to disregard the apparent proof that SARS-CoV-2 was engineered in a lab had been rewarded handsomely with grants from his National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
3. Eric Schmidt and Jeff Skoll, who launched the Predict and Forestall virus hunts out of Google.org with the World Viral Forecasting Initiative (later referred to as Metabiota) earlier than the mission acquired lots of of tens of millions of {dollars} in funding from the U.S. Company for Worldwide Growth (U.S.A.I.D.). There’s no point out of Metabiota being concerned within the virus hunts that turned up each the closest identified relative to SARS-CoV-2 and the bat coronavirus Baric utilized in his 2015 experiment. That conveniently retains COVID origins away from Hunter Biden, whose Rosemont Seneca funded and lobbied for Metabiota (now a part of Ginkgo Bioworks).

It’s necessary to get the story of this Plandemic straight. If folks fall for the lab leak ruse as soon as, they’ll fall for it repeatedly.

Any gain-of-function biolab within the nation may very well be the positioning of the subsequent “accident.”

…We Confirmed Apeel Isn’t Allowed in Natural

On Could 26, 2023, after you had despatched them hundreds of emails, the Natural Supplies Assessment Institute (OMRI), lastly had a solution for the query, “What was a mysterious fruit coating backed by Bill Gates and the World Economic Forum that makes out-of-date fruit appear fresh, doing on licensed USDA Natural fruit?”

The Natural Supplies Assessment Institute (OMRI) said it by no means accepted Organipeel as a fruit coating, just for post-harvest dealing with, so the use on natural fruit was out of compliance.

After that (and hundreds of emails from you), many of the natural fruit manufacturers that stated they had been utilizing Apeel, together with Stemilt and Starr Ranch Growers, stopped.

The final hold-out we all know of is Limoneira, one of many largest U.S. growers of lemons, together with natural. Limoneira doesn’t develop each lemon bought on the planet, however CEO Harold Edwards’s objective is to “coat every lemon in the world with Apeel.” Limoneira signed an unique licensing relationship with Apeel Sciences on Could 11, 2023.

…Folks Began Consuming Lab-Grown Meat

On June 21, 2023, the primary lab-grown meat, “rooster”, had been accepted on the market by the US Division of Agriculture and the Meals and Drug Administration. 

Lab grown meat has as much as 25 occasions the worldwide warming potential of manufacturing facility farmed meat, however the two firms that manufacture lab-grown “rooster”, Upside Meals and Good Meat, nonetheless promote it as higher for the planet.

Precisely two eating places within the U.S. bought lab-grown “rooster” this 12 months. 

José Andrés’s China Chilcano in D.C. was doling out 2 ounce servings of Good Meat’s lab-grown “rooster” to 6 patrons per week as a part of a $70 tasting menu, however it’s no longer taking reservations.

Now, it’s solely accessible at Bar Crenn, which gives diners a 1-ounce portion of Upside’s rooster as a part of a six-course, $150 meal, which, according to Vox, is offered to 16 diners throughout one weekend every month.

Paradoxically, Bar Crenn is licensed “plastic free,” however is promoting lab-grown “rooster” that’s cultivated in single-use plastic bottles and, according to Wired, produces plastic waste greater than 10 occasions sooner than it makes meat.

Wired’s lab-grown “rooster” exposé cited insiders who revealed that “hundreds of {dollars} of labor” went into making ready every evening’s lab-grown rooster and that it “would incessantly be ruined by contamination and should be incinerated.”

Not like an excellent ol’ common natural veggie burger, the lab-grown “rooster” served at Bar Crenn makes use of a number of animal-derived substances, together with porcine gelatin and bovine serum derived from the blood of grownup cattle.

…Localities Banned Pesticides Whereas Nations Condoned Them

On October 11, 2023, California turned the tenth state within the nation to ban shopper gross sales of garden and backyard neonicotinoid pesticides when Gov. Gavin Newsom signed the Pollinator Protection Act. Neonics are killing bees and birds, placing 200 endangered species in danger.

On November 3, 2023, a U.S. court reversed an Environmental Protection Agency decision to stop the agricultural use of chlorpyrifos, a neurotoxin linked to lowered IQ, consideration deficits, and studying disabilities. Past Pesticides criticized the choice as “dissonant contemplating that within the U.S. there is just one chlorpyrifos producer left, residential use is banned, and non-residential makes use of akin to on golf programs have been declining. Additional, California has banned all makes use of, as have Oregon, Hawaii, New York, and Maryland.”

On November 16, 2023, the European Commission reauthorized the use of Monsanto (now Bayer)‘s carcinogenic herbicide glyphosate (bought as Roundup, amongst different brand-names) for one more 10 years. The choice was made although Austria, Croatia and Luxembourg voted towards the renewal, whereas France, Germany, Belgium, Bulgaria, Malta and the Netherlands abstained, and the mandatory majority to resume the license was not reached. The E.U.’s transfer to reauthorize glyphosate with out a majority vote was criticized as “scandalous” by the French pro-environmental farming group Confederation Paysanne and Greenpeace stated it was outraged. The choice doesn’t influence E.U. bans at the country level.

On December 12, 2023, the New York State legislature delivered the Birds and the Bees Protection Act to Gov. Kathy Hochel. The invoice is topic to a pocket veto, if the governor doesn’t sign it inside 30 days.

Once we’re up towards multinational companies, folks have extra energy on the native degree. The largest pesticide firms, BASF & Bayer (Germany) Corteva (U.S.) and Syngenta (China), know this and that’s why they’ve performed their finest to switch energy over pesticides from native governments to the states, from the states to the federal authorities and, within the case of the European Union, from nationwide governments to the fee.

There are solely seven U.S. states, Alaska, Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, Nevada, Utah and Vermont, the place localities can ban pesticides. In 2023, advocates in Colorado, Massachusetts and Minnesota launched campaigns to take native management over pesticides. Minnesota handed a regulation to permit localities to ban the non-agricultural, out of doors use of pesticides that kill pollinators.

States nonetheless have the ability, however the chemical cartel desires to repeal states’ right to regulate pesticides.

The Defend America’s Kids from Poisonous Pesticides Act would permit communities to behave on the native degree to guard themselves from pesticides, with out being preempted by state or federal regulation.
