A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government.
Thomas Jefferson
Let us be sure that those who come after will say of us in our time, that in our time we did everything that could be done. We finished the race; we kept them free; we kept the faith.

WE ARE BEING POISONED
August 15, 2011With all the concerns that WE THE PEOPLE are having to endure now, we have an added concern of
being poisoned by a very evil chemical company that has been given permission to poison us by ourgovernment. The objectivism of thescientific method seems to have been hijacked by corporations who often pay for scientists to support their products, as well as politicians by corporations who move through the revolving door between the private and public sector.
Even worse is that sometimes the consumer protection agencies themselves are complicit. The trust placed by consumers in scientific studies and Federal oversight committees has been violated in service to profit so the products are allowed to enter the marketplace with reduced safety standards. The synthetic chemicals we encounter on a daily basis in our food, water, and environment are increasingly shown to be disastrous to our physical and mental well being. Volumes have been written by experts in both mainstream and alternative medicine who have documented the sleight of hand used to hoodwink consumers and threaten our health. The categories below are worth deeper investigation as prime examples of what we might face as a species of this chemical bombardment continues. Dan Quayle couldn't spell potato, but he made sure they'd be genetically engineered. Here's howMonsanto got their permit to poison us:On May 26, 1992, George Bush's Vice-President, Dan Quayle, proclaimed the Bush administration's
new policy on bio-engineered food.“The reforms we announce today will speed up and simplify the process of bringing better agricultural products, developed through bio-tech, to consumers, food processors and farmers," Mr. Quayle told a crowd of executives and reporters in the Indian Treaty Room of the Old Executive Office Building. "We will ensure that bio-tech products will receive the same oversight as other products, instead of being hampered by unnecessary regulation."
"We will not compromise safety one bit." Mr. Quayle told his audience.
In the F.D.A.'s nearby offices, not everyone was so sure. Among them was Dr. Louis J. Pribyl, one of
17 government scientists working on a policy for genetically engineered food. Dr. Pribyl knew fromstudies that toxins could be unintentionally created when new genes were introduced into a plant's
cells. But under the new edict, the government was dismissing that risk and any other possible risk as
no different from those of conventionally derived food. That meant biotechnology companies would
not need government approval to sell the foods they were developing. Dr. Pribyl, a microbiologist, was not alone at the agency. Dr. Gerald Guest, director of the center of veterinary medicine, wrote that he and other scientists at the center had concluded there was "ample scientific justification" to require tests and a government review of each genetically engineered food before it was sold.
The scientists were displaying precisely the concerns that Monsanto executives from the 1980's had
anticipated - and indeed had considered reasonable. But now, rather than trying to address thoseconcerns, Monsanto, the industry and official Washington were dismissing them as the insignificant
worries of the uninformed. Under the final F.D.A. policy that the White House helped usher in, the new foods would be tested only if companies did it. Labeling was ruled out as potentially misleading to the consumer, since it might suggest that there was reason for concern.
-Excerpt from "Biotechnology Food: From the Lab to a Debacle," by Kurt Eichenwald, New York
Times, January 25, 2001. Eighteen years later, genetically engineered foods are everywhere, but nobody knows that they're eating them or what effect they're having on our health. Study after studyindicating serious damage to animals fed genetically engineered food have been downplayed or
ignored. Links to human hazards, such as the
genetically engineered L-tryptophan disaster of 1989,which killed scores of Americans and permanently injured thousands more, or experiments in 1999 in
the UK by renowned scientist
Arpad Pusztai, have been literally suppressed. It's only now that we're beginning to learn what government regulators should have told us all along. Recently, independent scientists reviewed
animal feeding studies conducted by Monsanto in 2000 and 2001. They found that Monsanto's own data revealed the dangers of three of their commonly used genetically engineered corn varieties.
One scientist explained: For the first time in the world, we have proven that genetically engineered foods are neithersufficiently healthy or proper to be commercialized. Each time, for all three genetically modified organisms, the kidneys and liver which are the main organs that react to a
chemical food poisoning, had problems. Given this evidence, it is unconscionable to continue to promote the fallacy that genetically engineeredfood is the same as normal food. It's different. Consumers have a right to know what they're eating. The Organic Consumers Association supports Congressman Kucinich's Genetically Engineered Food Right to Know Act
but an act of Congress isn't necessary to label genetically engineered foods.
The Truth in Labeling Coalitionis asking the Food and Drug Administration to fix what Dan Quayle got wrong. TLC has submitted a
Citizen Petition making the case that the FDA can reverse theMonsanto Mandate forced on us by Bush-Quayle, and put an end to the idea that genetically engineered foods and crops are trustworthy and don't need to be labeled, as they are in the European Union. We have a chance now to make the change. The Food & Drug Administration needs to admit that, in the Bush-Quayle era of deregulation, they took the wrong approach to genetically engineered foods. On the campaign trail,
Now is the time for him to fulfill his promise to support consumers' right to know.
Please support the Truth in Labeling Coalition's Citizen Petition by taking action now to write F.D.A.Commissioner Margaret A. Hamburg

When we consider the rogue's gallery of devilish, over-sized, greedy and disproportionately powerful
corporations, we generally come up with outfits like Microsoft, Bechtel, AIG, Halliburton, Goldman-Sachs, Exxon-Mobil and the United States Senate. Yet somehow, Monsanto, arguably the
most devilish, over-sized, greedy and disproportionately powerful corporation in the world has been able to more or less skulk between the raindrops -- only a household name in households where documentaries like Food Inc.
are regarded as light Friday evening entertainment. My house, for example. But for the most
part, if you were to ask an average American for their list of sinister corporations, Monsanto probably
wouldn't make the cut. It should. Founded by Missouri pharmacist John Francis Queeny in 1901, Monsanto is literally everywhere. Just about every non-organic food product available to consumers has some sort of connection with Monsanto. Anyone who can read a label knows that corn, soy and cotton can be found in just about every American food product. Upwards of 90% of all corn, soybeans and cotton are grown from genetically engineered seeds, also known as genetically modified organisms (GMOs). These genetically enhanced products appear in around 70% of all American processed food products. And Monsanto controls 90% of all genetically engineered seeds. In other words, Monsanto controls -- and owns patents on -- most of the American food supply.Cola ~ Kraft/Nabisco ~ McDonalds ~ Frito-Lay ~ General Mills ~ Quaker Oats ~ Procter & Gamble ~
Nestle ~ Safeway ~ Campbell Soup ~ Wal-Mart. If they refuse, we have the option of Boycotting the
products and/or businesses. Our lives and the lives of our children are at stake.
FOOD ADDITIVES
The quantity and variety of food additives in our foods today are quite disturbing. The additives that
are considered nutrients are safe, such as: Vitamins C, B, A.& E, carotene, lecithin, niacin, and pectin.Chemicals are added to food to change its color, preserve it, prevent rancidity, keep fats emulsified and foods stable. Most of the chemicals are synthetic compounds, some with known dangerous side
effects. In addition to the possible immediate side effects, we don't know what the long-term
consequences of consuming the additives are. It is, therefore, safest to avoid all chemical additives.
The following is a list of the top eight food additives to avoid, why, and foods they are added to:
1. ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS (NutraSweet, Equal, Sweet N Low) Most contain aspartame, a
carcinogenic. Side effects: migraines, headaches, dizziness and seizures. Other artificialsweeteners contain saccharin, a substance linked to bladder cancer. Another artificial sweetener
is Acesulfame-K, which is linked to kidney tumors development. And, lastly, High Fructose
Corn Syrup, is as unhealthy as the others, even though it comes from corn . It also will pack on
the weight very rapidly, and could contain mercury. FOUND IN: Sugar-free and diet sodas,
flavored gelatin desserts, gum, drink mixes, baked goods, cereals, mints, cookies, toothpaste
and fruit drinks, etc.....
2. MONOSODIUM GLUTAMATE, or MSG, autolyzed yeast extract, or simply, spices. This is
probably the food additive that is the most difficult to avoid. Not only the variety of names canbe confusing, this amino acid is added to almost any savory packaged foods. MSG is an excitotoxin,
which disturbs the neurological pathways, messing with the satiety response and even
killing off brain cells. FOUND IN: Fast food, Chinese restaurant food, seasoning, canned
soup, salad dressing, snack food, frozen dinners, lunch meat, stock, sauces and bouillon, etc....
3. PROPYLENE GLYCOL, This is a viscous substance that is used to enhance texture in liquids.
Known to be linked to cancer, it is still used as a carrier for flavors (often artificial) in an arrayof drinks and dressings. FOUND IN, Candy coating, sodas, sports drinks, salad dressing, beer,
cakes, icing, etc....
4. HYDROGENATED OILS, Oils that have been hydrogenated are transformed into trans fat,
the kind that leads to heart diseases, LDL (bad) cholesterol and cancer. Always check theingredient list, as it is allowed by law to label ) trans fat even if it contains small amounts of it.
FOUND IN, Margarine, chips, crackers, baked goods, fast foods, etc.
5. FOOD DYES, Artificial colorings found in candies, fruit drinks and dressings, has been linked
to developmental and behavioral problems in children as well as cancer development. FOUND
IN, Cheese, candies, sodas, fruit drinks, sports drinks, bakery, etc....
6. SULFITES, Used to preserve foods, Sulfites are among major food allergens. Sulfites have
been linked to asthma, and can lead to headaches, skin rashes and breathing problems in
sensitive people. FOUND IN, Wine, dried fruits, lunch and cured meats.
7. SODIUM NITRATE/NITRATE, Found mostly in processed meat, and used as a preservative.
Several researches has linked it to cancer, but it's still used commonly in food products.
FOUND IN, Cured meats, hot dogs, corned beef, bacon, ham, duck, lunch meats, smoked
meat, etc....
8. BHA and BHT , Used to preserve the color and flavor in processed food, BHA and BHT are
used in a variety of foods. They can disturb the neurological system, alter behavior and causecancer. FOUND IN, Cereals, gum, chips, shortening, candy, etc.
In 2008, Melamine was found in infant formula and some food products from China; the FDA went on
record to say it was OK, despite sickening tens of thousands. Dangerous food additives appear in
nearly all processed foods with even the most common food dyes, Red 40, Yellow 5 and Yellow 6 being linked to cancer. Most recently, 92,000 pounds of frozen chicken was recalled because it contained “blue plastic pieces,” while McDonald's Chicken McNuggets have been found to have “silly putty” chemicals in them. In fact, some researchers estimate that today's chicken is so full of chemicals that it only contains 51% actual meat.
Another deadly additive we need to be aware of, though not a food additive, is fluoride. Not all fluoride is bad; only the type promoted by dentistry and added to our water and foods supply. Calcium
fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral, while its synthetic counterpart, sodium fluoride
(silicofluoride), is an industrial-grade hazardous waste material made during the production of
fertilizer. It's past history includes patented use as rat poison and insecticide. There are many blind and
double blind studies that show sodium fluoride has a cumulative effect on the human body leading to
allergies, gastrointestinal disorders, bone weakening, cancer, and neurological problems.
Sodium chloride, more toxic than lead and almost on par with arsenic, has been disposed of for our
consumption.
Mercury, a dangerous heavy metal in its natural quicksilver form, but more so as the neurotoxin,
methyl mercury, released into the environment by human activity. In both organic, and inorganic form, mercury wreaks havoc with the nervous system—especially the developing nervous system of a fetus. It penetrates all living cells of the human body, and has been documented most as increasing the risk for autism. This calls into question mercury's use in dental fillings, vaccines, and just about anything containing high fructose corn syrup—a near staple in the American diet ...including baby food. But the Corn Refiners Association naturally supports this chemical that is “dangerous at any level.”I wish you success in your quest to live your life on your terms.
