WAKE UP OR BLOW UP AMERICA

 Hmmmm just an observation here but if what the pig eats comes out the other end, becomes and explosive and actually does explode what is going on in your body when you eat the pork chop, steak, chicken wing or Thanksgiving turkey? These are the types of things WE CAN ADDRESS, JUST AS FRANCE HAS...
 
France Bans GM Corn Amid Mass US Protests against Monsanto

Amid mass US protests against Monsanto in mid-March, France imposed a temporary moratorium on the planting of Monsanto’s genetically modified corn, MON810.
“Due to the proximity of the planting season,” said Agriculture Minister Bruno Le Maire along with Francois Fillon, Minister for Ecology and Sustainable Development, in a press release on Friday, authorities “decided to take a precautionary measure to temporarily prohibit the cultivation of maize MON810 on the national territory to protect the environment.”
­All prior plantings of MON810, trade name YieldGard, become illegal on March 20.
Headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, Monsanto announced in January that it would not sell genetically modified corn in France due to public opposition.
A growing list of human health and environmental hazards from GM crops has raised concern over bioengineered food and feed, including a literally explosive growth of a “new” microbe on pig manure:

Likely linked to GM feed served to most livestock in the US, methane-filled “foam” growing on pig manure has resulted in several pig farm explosions since 2001, killing thousands of animals.
“And there’s no stopping it,” reports the Daily Mail, “the foam has now started growing on one in four farms across the Midwest.”  Scientists believe a new type of bacteria may have developed.
This comports with plant pathologist Don Huber’s discovery last year of a new pathogen associated with spontaneous abortions in livestock, which has been linked to the use of glyphosate, the main ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup herbicide.
Modified with a Bt protein to kill insects, MON810 is losing its efficacy in the US.  The Western rootworm beetle – one of the most serious threats to corn – has developed resistance to the bacterial toxin in eleven states.
In early March, a group of pro-biotech corn entomologists sent a letter to the US Environmental Protection Agency warning that insect resistance to genetically modified corn can be halted by planting non-GMO seed.  The warning will likely go unheeded as the US Dept. of Agriculture announced plans to speed up the process of GM approval by 18 months.
Over the past eight months, the European Commission has approved 11 new transgenic crops.  However, EU nations can independently restrict or prohibit the sales of products under certain conditions.
Also on Friday in the US, GM opponents held a nationwide protest against Monsanto. Dressed in hazmat suits, they targeted Congress for its complicity in allowing the dangerous adulterant in the food and feed supply:


Protests continue today across the US, and include an action against WalMart for planning to sell Monsanto’s GM corn this year.
The move to label GMO foods in the US grew stronger last week when 55 Members of Congress sent a letter to the US Food and Drug Admin demanding the label.
In California, a statewide petition drive is underway to put the labeling initiative on the ballot this November. With six weeks remaining to collect one million registered voter signatures, the Label GMOs group got a welcome boost when Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds designed a special seed packet to be used for the campaign.

I suppose you all have heard that Bill Gates who has large holdings in Monsanto and their GMO division has large land holdings where he has all of his (and other elite's) food grown organically with no chemicals, hormones, antibiotics, GMO's, etc. Just good pure natural food with nothing bad on it. What would happen if someone were to fly over and drop a bunch of roundup all over everything he has with a good cropduster, or whatever they use? Also as far as the "Dark Cabal"... what if we captured them, made them strip down to their underware, and sprayed them with roundup? (This would include Monsanto executives and govt. agencies who want to promote this stuff) I'm fed up with these guys too, and would willingly take things into my own hands if the trained professionals are too sissy to do their job.
