Like modern-day Dr. Frankensteins, food scientists in the employ of agribusiness have unlocked the secrets of life, and they are using their knowledge to create brand new species of plants and animals that have never existed before anywhere on earth. Genetic engineering techniques that allow splices of DNA from one organism to be inserted into

In a classic example of a pre-emptive strike, in March 2011 a coalition of over fifty groups representing organic farmers and non-genetically modified seed dealers filed suit in a federal court seeking protection against any potential lawsuits that might be filed against them by the chemical and agri-business giant Monsanto. The problem is that the seeds from this company’s genetically-modified crops have a tendency to spread and contaminate nearby fields growing similar crops, and farmers who have inadvertently replanted seeds that did not originate on their land are in danger of being sued by Monsanto

Big agriculture and the life sciences industry have developed a symbiotic relationship that has proven fruitful – and profitable – for both sides. The result has been a flood of genetically engineered seeds, animals, and food crops that have entered the food chain since the 1980s, forever revolutionizing the way that farmers produce food for animal and human consumption. Not content to rely on the carefully crafted handiwork of the Creator, scientists working in the tradition started by Dr. Frankenstein so many years ago…
One of the great lies told by the media and those in power is that our political system actually provides voters with real choices. Conflict between the two political parties, or between the president and Congress, is portrayed as some kind of titanic struggle between competing ideologies with different visions for America. And yet, mysteriously, as individual politicians come and go, and the balance of power constantly shifts back and forth between Democrats and Republicans, somehow nothing ever changes. Or more correctly, things just keep getting worse.
In May of this year, the Department of Transportation proposed a potential rule change that could dramatically impact already-beleaguered small farmers across the nation. The DOT, operating through the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, has suddenly decided that all farm vehicles and all mechanized farm equipment should be classified as Commercial Motor Vehicles. Furthermore, anyone living or working on a farm would be required to have a commercial drivers license before they would be allowed to operate motorized farm machinery such as tractors and other types of harvesting and hauling equipment. Based on an extensive

We have addressed before the threats posed by genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in the food production system. We say “in the food production system” rather than “in food,” because these GMOs, once introduced into the environment, may have effects far beyond a particular genetically modified food and whether or not we eat it. In a

For many years, Americans have enjoyed basic freedoms like freedom of speech... freedom to choose how they spend their money... and freedom to travel without restriction. But with each passing year, we see the rapid erosion of these freedoms. As power-hungry politicians become more brazen in their pursuit of total control, our freedoms are becoming more tightly restricted -- or, in some cases, legislated away entirely. For proof, look at what’s happened during the last few years...
The Amazing "Aztec Super-Food" Used By Top Survivalists For Mission-Critical Strength And Endurance!In the remote Copper Canyons of the Mexican state of Chihuahua, the isolated tribe of Tarahumara Indians is known for a remarkable feat. They run! They run hundreds of miles … without injury and without rest. Their legendary endurance puts gold medal Olympic marathon runners to shame. The Tarahumara not only run long distances, they also routinely scale mountains in mere hours, just for the fun of it. They sprint on foot to catch animals for their dinner… and consider it a playful diversion. The Tarahumara are believed to be among the healthiest human beings on earth!
"God's Miracle Dust" Because It's The Single Greatest Off-The-Grid Story Ever Told!We live in a time when it's impossible to escape dangerous chemicals. They're in our homes, our food, our soil, our water, and our air. They're so much a part of our lives that we think nothing of it. It's high time we think about it a little more. There are over 70,000 chemicals in use today and their cumulative effects on human health have never really been studied. In fact, very few of them have even been studied individually for safety. Should we be worried?
The Single Best "Just In Case" Place In The WorldFor many years now, there has been much talk that the ancient Mayans predicted the end of the world with their Long Count calendar. It has even been refined down to a specific date when humanity is supposed to cease to exist… December 21, 2012 This doomsday message has become quite popular. So much so, the subject has spawned hundreds of thousands of websites and blogs, several mainstream books… and at least a couple of movies… including… a major motion picture by Mel Gibson titled, Apocalypto. The supposed cause (or causes) of this wanton, wholesale destruction ranges from a Planet “X” near flyby… to a “killer” solar flare… to geomagnetic reversal… to… a half-dozen (or more) other things. Any one of which, alone, would have catastrophic effects.
