*Big Sister Joins Big Brother In Islamification Of US: Pelosi Calls For
Probe Of Those Opposed To
Mosque*<http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0810/41204.html>
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Tuesday said she supports an investigation
into groups opposing the building of a mosque near ground zero in New York.
Pelosi told San Francisco's KCBS radio that "there is no question there is a
concerted effort to make this a political issue by some. I join those who
have called for looking into how is this opposition to the mosque being
funded," she said. "How is this being ginned up?" Republicans have signaled
that they will try to turn the mosque into a campaign issue, and nearly all
of the leading national Republicans have weighed in against the mosque's
construction. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid broke with President Barack
Obama recently in voicing opposition to the mosque, but Pelosi indicated
support for the cultural center. "I think everybody respects the right in
our country to express their religious beliefs on their own property," she
said. Still, Pelosi said she'd like to see the issue determined by New
Yorkers and slip off the national stage.

*An Implantable Antenna <http://www.technologyreview.com/biomedicine/26078/>
*According to Fiorenzo Omenetto, professor of biomedical engineering at
Tufts University, silk is a natural platform for medical implants--it's
biocompatible, and while it's delicate and pliable, it's also tougher than
Kevlar. Implanted in the body, silk can conform to any tissue surface, and,
unlike conventional polymer-based implants, it could stay in place over a
long period of time without adverse effects. Omenetto has previously taken
advantage of these properties to mold silk into tiny chips and flexible
meshes, pairing the material with transistors to track molecules, and with
electrodes to monitor brain activity. Now Omenetto is exploring the
combination of silk and metamaterials--metals like gold, copper, and silver
manipulated at the micro- and nanoscale to exhibit electromagnetic
characteristics not normally found in nature. For example, scientists have
created metamaterials that act as "invisibility cloaks" by manipulating
metals to bend light all the way around an object, rendering it invisible.
Omenetto and his colleague Richard Averitt, associate professor of physics
at Boston University, used similar principles to create a metamaterial
that's responsive not to visible light, but rather to frequencies further
down the electromagnetic spectrum, within the terahertz range. Not
coincidentally, proteins, enzymes, and chemicals in the body are naturally
resonant at terahertz frequencies, and, according to Averitt, each
biological agent has its own terahertz "signature."

With Tom Horn
Before His Death?* <http://www.raidersnewsnetwork.com/leadstory83.htm>
A lot of things spooked folks at the end of the last millennium—as this book
attests, some of them turned out to be real threats that need to be dealt
with now. One of those very real things that went bump on the Internet was
the High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP). HAARP is a field
of antennas on the ground in Southeastern Alaska linked together to work as
one giant antenna. Today, it is the world's largest radio frequency (RF)
broadcaster, with an effective radiated power (ERP) of three to four billion
watts. It uses a unique patented ability to focus the RF energy generated by
the antenna field, injecting it into a spot at the very top of the
atmosphere in a region called the ionosphere. As you can imagine, injecting
that much RF energy into a spot about twelve miles across by about two and a
half miles deep (by about ninety miles up), heats the thin atmosphere of the
ionospheric region by several thousand degrees. HAARP, then, is a type of
device called an ionospheric heater.

*Monsanto Wins Again*<http://www.blacklistednews.com/news-10151-0-0-0--.html>
Last Friday a federal judge imposed a nationwide ban on GMO sugar beets and
it was overturned the next business day. Sugar beets comprise 50% of the
sugar used in US food, and 95% of the sugar beets grown in the US are GMO.
It is the jurisdiction of the US Department of Agriculture to determine
whether plants are environmentally safe; this case is about whether the
plants can cross pollinate (by wind, insects, etc) and contaminate other
plants. This could have cost Monsanto billions of dollars. Less than 2 weeks
ago, wild growing canola in North Dakota was discovered to be 86% GMO.
Because GMO crops are crossed with herbicide resistant plants (usually
weeds), they grow like weeds and contaminate natural plants. Alarmingly, two
of the canola samples collected by scientists showed that multiple genes
from different species of GMO canola plants cross pollinated without
cultivation, and probably for several generations. The implication of this
is that GMO seeds can readily contaminate natural seeds and become out of
control.

Genetically Manipulated Crops: The GMO Catastrophe in the USA. A Lesson for
the World
by F. William Engdahl
Global Research, August 18, 2010
0diggsdigg StumbleUpon Submit
Recently the unelected potentates of the EU Commission in Brussels have
sought to override what has repeatedly been shown to be the overwhelming
opposition of the European Union population to the spread of Genetically
Modified Organisms (GMO) in EU agriculture. EU Commission President now has
a Maltese accountant as health and enviromnent Commissioner to rubber stamp
the adoption of GMO. The former EU Environment Commissioner from Greece was
a ferocious GMO opponent. As well, the Chinese government has indicated it
may approve a variety of GMO rice. Before things get too far along, they
would do well to take a closer look at the world GMO test lab, the USA.
There GMO crops are anything but beneficial. Just the opposite.
What is carefully kept out of the Monsanto and other agribusiness propaganda
in promoting genetically manipulated crops as an alternative to conventional
is the fact that in the entire world until the present, all GMO crops have
been manipulated and patented for only two things—to be resistant or
"tolerant" to the patented highly toxic herbicide glyphosate chemicals that
Monsanto and the others force farmers to buy as condition for buying their
patented GMO seeds. The second trait is GMO seeds that have been engineered
genetically to resist specific insects. Contrary to public relations myths
promoted by the agribusiness giants in their own self-interest, there exists
not oné single GMO seed that provides a greater harvest yield than
conventional, nor one that requires less toxic chemical herbicides. That is
for the simple reason there is no profit to be made in such.
Giant super-weeds plague
As prominent GMO opponent and biologist, Dr Mae-Wan Ho of the Institute of
Science in London has noted, companies such as Monsanto build into their
seeds herbicide-tolerance (HT) due to glyphosate-insensitive form of the
gene coding for the enzyme targeted by the herbicide. The enzyme is derived
from soil bacterium Agrobacterium tumefaciens. Insect-resistance is due to
one or more toxin genes derived from the soil bacterium Bt (Bacillus
thuringiensis). The United States began large scale commercial planting of
GMO plants, mainly soybeans and corn and cotton around 1997. By now, GM
crops have taken over between 85 percent to 91 percent of the areas planted
with the three major crops, soybean, corn and cotton in the US, on nearly
171 million acres.
The ecological time-bomb that came with the GMO according to Ho, is about to
explode. Over several years of constant application of patented glyphosate
herbicides such as Monsanto's famous and highly Roundup, new
herbicide-resistant "super-weeds" have evolved, nature's response to
man-made attempts to violate it. The super-weeds require significantly more
not less herbicide to control.
ABC Television, a major US national network, made a recent documentary about
the super-weeds under the rubric, "super weeds that can't be killed."[1]
They interviewed farmers and scientists across Arkansas who described fields
overrun with giant pigweed plants that can withstand as much glyphosate as
farmers are able to spray. They interviewed one farmer who spent almost
€400000 in only three months in a failed attempt to kill the new
super-weeds.
The new super-weeds are so robust that harvester combines are unable to
harvest the fields and hand tools break trying to cut them down. At least
400000 hectares of soybean and cotton in Arkansas alone have become invested
with this new mutant biological plague. Detailed data on other agricultural
regions is not available but believed similar. The pro-GMO and
pro-agribusiness US Department of Agriculture has been reported lying about
the true state of US crop harvest partly to hide the grim reality and to
prevent an explosive revolt against GMO in the world's largest GMO market.
Superweed
One variety of super-weed, palmer pigweed can grow up to 2.4 meters high,
withstands severe heat and prolonged droughts, and produces thousands of
seeds with a root system that drains nutrients away from crops. If left
unchecked, it takes over an entire field in a year. Some farmers have been
forced to abandon their land. To date palmer pigweed infestation in GMO crop
regions has been identified in addition to Arkansas, also in Georgia, South
Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, New Mexico, Mississippi and
most recently, Alabama and Missouri.
Weed scientists at the University of Georgia estimate that just two palmer
pigweed plants in every 6 meter length of cotton row can reduce yield by at
least 23 percent. A single weed plant can produce 450 000 seeds. [2]
Roundup toxic danger being covered-up
Glyphosate is the most widely used herbicide in the US and the world at
large. Patented and sold by Monsanto since the 1970s under the trade name
Roundup, it is a mandatory component of buying GMO seeds from Monsanto. Just
go to your local garden store and ask for it and read the label carefully.
As I detail in my book, Seeds of Destruction: The Hidden Agenda of Genetic
Manipulation, GMO crops and patented seeds were developed in the 1970's with
significant financial support from the pro-eugenics Rockefeller Foundation,
by what were essentially chemical companies—Monsanto Chemicals, DuPont and
Dow Chemicals. All three were involved in the scandal of the highly toxic
Agent Orange used in Vietnam, as well as Dioxin in the 1970's, and lied to
cover up the true damage to its own employees as well as to civilian and
military populations exposed.
Their patented GMO seeds were seen as a clever way to force increased
purchase of their agricultural chemicals such as Roundup. Farmers must sign
a legal contract with Monsanto in which it stipulates that only Monsanto
Roundup pesticide may be used. Farmers are thus trapped both in buying new
seeds from Monsanto each harvest and buying the toxic glyphosate.
France's University of Caen, in a team led by molecular biologist,
Gilles-Eric Seralini, did a study that showed Roundup contained one specific
inert ingredient, polyethoxylated tallowamine, or POEA. Seralini's team
demonstrated that POEA in Roundup was more deadly to human embryonic,
placental and umbilical cord cells than even the glyphosate itself. Monsanto
refuses to release details of the contents of its Roundup other than
glyphosate, calling it "proprietary." [3]
The Seralini study found that Roundup's inert ingredients amplified the
toxic effect on human cells—even at concentrations much more diluted than
those used on farms and lawns! The French team studied multiple
concentrations of Roundup, from the typical agricultural or lawn dose down
to concentrations 100,000 times more dilute than the products sold on
shelves. The researchers saw cell damage at all concentrations.
Glyphosate and Roundup are advertised as "less toxic to us than table salt"
in a pamphlet from the Biotechnology Institute promoting GMO crops as 'Weed
Warrior.' Thirteen years of GMO crops in the USA has increased overall
pesticide use by 318 million pounds, not decreased as promised by the Four
Horsemen of the GMO Apocalypse. The extra disease burden on the nation from
that alone is considerable.
Nonetheless after introduction of Monsanto GMO seeds commercially in the
USA, use of glyphosate has risen more than 1500% between 1994 and 2005. In
the USA some 100 million pounds of glyphosate are used on lawns and farms
every year, and over the last 13 years, it has been applied to more than a
billion acres. When questioned, Monsanto's technical development manager,
Rick Cole, reportedly said the problems were "manageable." He advised
farmers to alternate crops and use different makes of herbicides produced by
Monsanto. Monsanto is encouraging farmers to mix glyphosate with its older
herbicides such as 2,4-D, banned in Sweden, Denmark and Norway for links to
cancer and reproductive and neurological damage. 2,4-D is a component of
Agent Orange, produced by Monsanto for use in Vietnam in the 1960s.
US Farmers turn to organics
Farmers across the United States are reported to be going back to
conventional non-GMO crops instead. According to a new report from the US
Department of Agriculture, retail sales of organic food went up to $21.1
billion in 2008 from $3.6 billion in 1997.[4] The market is so active that
organic farms have struggled at times to produce sufficient supply to keep
up with the rapid growth in consumer demand, leading to periodic shortages
of organic products.
The new UK Conservative-Liberal coalition government is strongly backing
lifting a de facto ban on GMO in that country. UK Chief Scientific Adviser,
Prof. John Beddington, recently wrote an article in which he misleadingly
claimed "The next decade will see the development of combinations of
desirable traits and the introduction of new traits such as drought
tolerance. By mid-century much more radical options involving highly
polygenic traits may be feasible." He went on to promise "cloned animals
with engineered innate immunity to diseases" and more. I think we can pass
that one up, thank you.
A recent study by Iowa State University and the US Department of Agriculture
assessing the performance of farms during the three-year transition it takes
to switch from conventional to certified organic production showed notable
advantages of organic farming over GMO or even conventional non-GMO crops.
In an experiment lasting four years—three years transition and first year
organic—the study showed that although yields dropped initially, they
equalized in the third year, and by the fourth year, the organic yields were
ahead of the conventional for both soybean and corn.
As well, the International Assessment of Agricultural Knowledge, Science and
Technology for Development (IAASTD) has recently been published, the result
of three-year deliberation by 400 participating scientists and
non-government representatives from 110 countries around the world. It came
to the conclusion that small scale organic agriculture is the way ahead for
coping with hunger, social inequities and environmental disasters. [5] As Dr
Ho argues, a fundamental shift in farming practice is needed urgently,
before the agricultural catastrophe spreads further across Germany and the
EU to the rest of the world.[6]

ANCIENT BIBLE CITY FOUND
Found: Ancient Egyptian City from Biblical Times
Egypt says an ancient city from 3,500 years ago - at the height of the
Jewish People's enslavement there - has been discovered by radar. The
announcement was made by the Egyptian Ministry of Culture.The Stones Cry Out
BBC reports that Austrian archaeologists used radar imaging to find the
underground outlines of the city, located in the now densely-populated Nile
Delta area.
The city is believed to be Avaris, the summer capital of the Hyksos people,
foreign occupiers who ruled Egypt for about a century, beginning around the
mid-17th century BCE. It was during that time that the Children of Israel
began their sojourn in Egypt, which continued later with a "new king who did
not know Joseph" (Exodus 1:8), enslavement, and later, the miraculous
Exodus.
The radar images show the outlines of streets and houses underneath what are
now green farm fields and modern towns.
"The aim of the geophysical survey," said Austrian archaeological team head
Irene Mueller, "was to identify the size of the ancient city... The mission
also identified one of the Nile river tributaries that passed through the
city, as well as two islands."
