False Flag Bio-War? Corn syrup + GMO corn crops + Pesticides = Honey Bee Colony Collapse! Human collapse next!

26 May 2013 (19:54 UTC-07 Tango 25 May 2013)/16 Rajab 1434/05 Khordad 1391/17 Ding-Si (4th month) 4711

“This is the biggest general threat to our food supply!”-Kevin Hackett, USDA’s bee and pollination program

“There is no question that neonicotinoids put a huge stress on the survival of honey bees in the environment.  The evidence is clear that imidacloprid is likely the culprit for Colony Collapse Disorder via a very unique mechanism that has not been reported until our study.”-Chensheng Lu, HSPH

Several studies have revealed direct links between high fructose corn syrup, GMO (genetically modified organism) crops and increased pesticide use with the massive death and disappearance of honey bees.   On 24 May 2013 the European Union (EU) banned the use of three pesticides based on such studies.

The EU ban begins in December and will last two years, before being reviewed.

On 02 January 2013, Poland banned the use of Monsanto’s GMO MON 810 maize (corn) and BASF’s Amflora strain of potato, after Polish beekeepers claimed a direct link between the genetically enhanced pesticide laden seeds and the collapse of honey bees.

A report published in May 2013 concluded that GMO/pesticides are affecting other pollinators, not just bees.  The study indicated that the European Union was about to ban such pesticides based on their own studies.

In September 2012, another study says GMO/pesticides are destroying bees’ ability to navigate.

In April 2012, the Harvard School of Public Health proved that pesticide laced corn syrup is killing bees.  The unknowing culprits here are the beekeepers themselves.  Honey farmers want all the honey for sale, and feed the bees high fructose corn syrup in its place.  Here’s the rub; prior to 2004 the corn syrup did not contain pesticides.  How’d it get there?  In 2004-05 U.S. maize crops began being sprayed with a new pesticide. It turns out the pesticide stays in the corn even after harvest and is showing up in the corn syrup (this also means that we humans are eating it as well). The Harvard study concluded that it only takes 20 parts per billion of neonicotinoid pesticides to kill off a bee colony within six months!

A study published online in March 2012 revealed that the GMO crops use a neonicotinoid toxin that disables an insects homing abilities, which explains why so many bees never get back to their hives.

Another study showed that even low doses of neonicotinoid pesticides is harmful to bees.

In February 2012, a study said that even dust coming from the GMO seeds could kill bees.

There are dozens and dozens of studies around the World which say the GMO/pesticide corporations are responsible for declining crop production as well as killing off the insect pollinators necessary for food production, yet those very corporations continue to deny that such studies exist!

In 2007 USDA official, Kevin Hackett, said what those corporations are doing is the biggest threat to our survival that we face, but you won’t find those corporations on the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s terrorist list!

“If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe, then man would only have four years of life left.”-Albert Einstein

False Flag Bio-War? GMO creates SuperBugs, destroying our food sources! India says GMO research “fradulent”!

24 May 2013 (17:19 UTC-07 Tango)/14 Rajab 1434/03 Khordad 1391/15 Ding-Si (4th month) 4711

Since 2011 there have been growing reports that farmers are returning to massive use of pesticides, because of new superbug insects.  Those super insects have been created by the very GMO (genetically modified organism) crops meant to kill insects (in 2003 the U.S. EPA approved GMO on that very basis).

The latest report shows that Monsanto’s Bt Corn has actually created insects (like rootworms) that are now immune to GMO crops. The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) recently reported that pesticide makers are seeing skyrocketing sales, as a result.

The WSJ also reported that years ago some corporations knew this would happen, and began taking over pesticide companies for the expected boom in bug spray sales.  Other reports say the amount of pesticide use is higher than what the WSJ reported.

Of course Monsanto says they will create new GMO seeds.

In 2010, India halted the use of GMO crops.  In 2012, India ordered testing of any GMO crop in a controlled environment before being approved.  Here’s why: “I was shocked to find the three years of so-called research trials conducted by Mahyco Monsanto Biotech or MMB, a joint venture between Indian seed company Mahyco and Monsanto, as erroneous……I went on record to state that GM technology, promoted by MMB, was fraudulent.”-Devinder Sharma, agricultural scientist

One possible reason that India began to question the claims of Monsanto and other GM makers, is that during the years Indian farmers used GMO seeds, there was no increase in overall crop production! (increased crop production was one of the claims made by GMO companies: “generate higher crop yields with fewer inputs”–Biotechnology Industry Organization)

In Lebanon, the Consumer Protection Department of the Economy and Trade Ministry (CPDET) warned consumers that recent testing of fruits and vegetables are showing high rates of pesticides, including chemicals banned in Lebanon.

Officials are calling the free use of chemicals by local farmers chaotic: “In the last few months findings indicate that farmers have reverted to chaos….”-CPDET statement

CPDET officials say “The main reason was attributed to insects developing immunity…….unleashing a vicious and fearful cycle.”

For years there has been fear in Lebanon that GMO crops grown in nearby Europe, or in neighboring Israel, would eventually adversely affect Lebanese agriculture.

According to Israeli news media there are no laws regulating GMOs in Israel: “Agricultural products that underwent genetic engineering are sold in Israel without any marking to inform consumers……main function is to test foodstuffs slated for export to Europe.”-Haaretz

It’s possible that Lebanon’s agriculture industry has been invaded (through pollination) by GMOs from Israel’s unregulated industry.

The problem of cross pollination is one of the concerns for the European country Hungary.  Hungary bans all GMOs.  A week ago 404.6 hectares (1000 acres) of maize was burned, after it was discovered that GMO seeds somehow got in with regular corn seeds (many Hungarian farmers bought their seeds from international companies).  The burning of the crop was done to prevent cross pollination.  Investigations are revealing that somehow thousands of acres of other crops in Hungary could also be contaminated with GMOs.

But contrary to what some bloggers say, about the Europe Union not allowing GMO crops, the European Union does allow Bt corn/maize, and several EU members have expressed intentions to grow other GMO crops (Spain is the largest producer of GMO crops).

So it is very possible that the agriculture industry in Lebanon is dealing with superbugs created by GMOs in Europe and Israel, which of course means more pesticide use.

Then there’s the rapidly declining bird population in United Kingdom.  Investigators blame increased pesticide use, and “changes in crop production” in Sussex.  It’s reported that 60% of overall bird species have disappeared in the past ten years.  Sussex is not listed as one of the English Counties that have banned GMOs.

Recently released studies in the United States back up the claims that GMOs do not decrease pesticide use and they do not increase crop yield!

In 2012 the Washington State University proved that the net effect of GMO crops is an increase in pesticide use, and other chemicals, not a decrease!

Now the University of Wisconsin says the gene splicing that goes into GMOs actually reduces crop yields!  Researchers call it “yield drag”, meaning genetic engineering of crops reduces overall production.   Their study (Commercialized transgenic traits, maize productivity and yield risk) shows that GMO crops tend to reduce environmental “yield risks” to the crops, but the overall yield output is also reduced.

What was that about GMOs saving humanity from starvation?

False Flag Bio-War? First GMO humans created! Clones next!!!

24 May 2013 (16:49 UTC-07 Tango)/14 Rajab 1434/03 Khordad 1391/15 Ding-Si (4th month) 4711

“Ooplasmic transfer from fertile donor oocytes into potentially compromised recipient patient oocytes has led to the birth of nearly 30 babies worldwide.”-Mitochondria in human offspring derived from ooplasmic transplantation: Brief communication, journal of Human Reproduction

The journal Human Reproduction reporting that the first 30 humans created by Genetic Modification have been born around the World!  Genetic testing showed the infants have more than two parents!

At least 15 of those babies, over the past three years, were born at the Institute for Reproductive Medicine and Science of Saint Barnabas in New Jersey U.S.A.

Researchers say it was part of experiments to help women who could not conceive.  It involved using genes from another woman.  Testing shows the infants inherited genes from both women, meaning that technically they have two mothers and one father!

The professor in charge of the program boasted, last year, that he could use the same technique to clone humans: “It would be an afternoon’s work for one of my students.”-Jacques Cohen

Cohen claims he already gotten three requests for cloning.

Norovirus / Tummy Bug update, 22 May 2013: Entire school district shut down! It does kill! Cancer mistaken for stomach bug!

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention revealed that 58% of all public pools tested in the United States, were swimming with E.Coli (bacteria) contaminated human shit (fecal contamination)!    The CDC concluded that many ‘mericans aren’t very clean.

In Ohio U.S.A., 11 schools were closed in Brunswick.  The epidemic started at a 07 May teacher appreciation lunch.  It’s been spreading since then.  All schools were closed because so many students are sick that even those students not sick have siblings that are sick.  Several dozens of teachers and students are sick.  Local media incorrectly called norovirus the stomach flu and/or food poisoning.

In Missouri U.S.A., the Cole County Health Department now saying last weeks’ outbreaks in local elementary and junior highs, were caused by norovirus.

In Arlington, Virginia U.S.A., Nottingham Elementary School hit by an outbreak.  School officials only made things more confusing when they started moving students from classroom to classroom.  School officials refuse to say how many students got sick, but one parent said at least 80. Students were fearful: “Everyone was getting sick. It got me and all my friends worried, and we cleared out as fast as we could.”-Raquel Robinson, 4th grader

In Wisconsin U.S.A., more than 50 students from Minnesota got sick at a YMCA camp.  Reports say the Minnesota Department of Health said one child from the North Star State was sick with norovirus when they left home for the YMCA camp.  Once there the virus quickly spread to the other students.  Also, in Franklin, the Pleasant View Elementary School was closed and scrubbed after more than 50 students became sick with stomach bug symptoms.  Health officials are testing to determine the cause.

In Iowa U.S.A., the Siouxland District Health Department investigating what caused about three teachers and 80 students to get sick at the Bryant Elementary School.

In New York U.S.A., a woman thought she was suffering from stomach bug, because of the symptoms.  She finally went to the doctor and found out she had fast spreading stage 4 breast cancer.  She died after her first chemotherapy treatment.  Friends of the family said that the exact moment she died a double rainbow appeared in the sky.

In East Riding of Yorkshire, England U.K., ward 21 at Castle Hill Hospital closed due to an outbreak: “…new patients being brought onto the ward had to go past the infected people.”-hospital source

In Worcestershire, England U.K., the Alexandra Hospital was closed along with wards at the Worcestershire Royal Hospital.

In East Midlands, England U.K., an investigation into the death of a 38 years old woman last year, concluded she died from norovirus.  Pathologists also told the Chesterfield Coroner’s Court that at least 80 people died in the United Kingdom last year, because of norovirus.

A study by a Canadian insurance company found that 93% of workers in United Kingdom go to work sick.  The main reasons are fear of loss of income and/or employment.

In Highland, Scotland U.K., The County Community Hospital in Invergordon, Lawson Memorial Hospital in Golspie, and the inpatient ward in Nairn Town have all been closed due to outbreaks.

In Queensland, Australia, a man is suffering from a massive watermelon sized hernia, after he got sick with a stomach bug.  He got infected after continuing to drink from his beer after he dropped in into the river he was fishing on.  Of course he picked up unknown microbes as a result.  The anti-biotic treatments and operations didn’t help. He’s been told he’ll need six more operations, yet on his most recent trip to the Royal Brisbane Hospital he was turned away due to lack of beds!

Researchers at Texas A&M University are experimenting with an electron beam to kill norovirus and hepatitis A in oysters. Most people like eating their oysters raw.

Other researchers claim they’ve come up with a way to kill microbes (bacteria, viruses, yeasts, molds) using gold, silver and lasers.  Apparently they use micro particles of gold or silver ‘shells’ designed to trap specifically shaped microbes, and then use a laser, which somehow kills only those microbes trapped in the gold/silver shells.

“…Federal military commanders have the authority….where prior authorization by the President is impossible and duly constituted local authorities are unable….to quell…civil disturbances….”–DoD Instruction Number 3025.21, February 27, 2013

Back in February 2013, the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) issued a new “instruction”, which allows the military to take action on U.S. territory without presidential authorization!

State National Guard units on federal active status (mobilization) will be forced to take part.  Those on state active duty, or weekend warrior status, are supposedly exempt, although the “instruction” says National Guard units can “…be ordered into Federal service…”

The “instruction” also states that the DoD will begin training up local law enforcement agencies (including MOUT).  Also, the “instruction” allows federales to take over locally when “…local authorities….decline to provide adequate protection for Federal property…” (is that why the Sheriffs of southeastern Idaho recently went to the public begging for money to buy AFVs?  63% of Idaho land is owned by the federal government).

The take over by the military involves U.S. Northern Command, U.S. Pacific Command and U.S. Special Operations Command (SOC).  The involvement of SOC should frighten people, after all the Afghans have been pointing out that most atrocities in their country are being committed by U.S. SOC units.  The ‘Syrian’ insurgents that summarily execute Syrians on video, and even video record themselves decapitating and eating human hearts, got training by CIA/SOC personnel (those insurgents admit they were trained by U.S. personnel).

The “instruction” allows for “…pre-positioning of Federal military forces for CDO [Civil Disturbance Operations]…”  But how can you preposition forces before a civil disturbance happens?  CDO will include SOC units.

The military now has the power to deputize volunteers.  Military aircraft will be used to transport civilian law enforcement.  Native American tribal law enforcement agencies will be involved.   Intell shall be processed through the El Paso Intelligence Center.

And who has authority regarding this “instruction”?  If the President of the U.S. is not available to make such authorization, then “The Secretary of Defense is the approval authority for requests for direct assistance in support of civilian law enforcement agencies…”

World War 3, U.S. False Flag Front: Idaho Sheriffs demanding Armored Fighting Vehicles!

Local southeast Idaho news media reporting that the Sheriff of sparsely populated Bear Lake County is begging residents to fork up the bucks to buy an expensive BearCat Armored Fighting Vehicle, supposedly to fight the growing violent crime in the county.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 2010 data, there were only 6001 people residing in Bear Lake County.    According to FBI Uniform Crime Reports data, from 2001 to 2008 there was a total of 312 crimes reported in Bear Lake County, only 15 were considered violent!

In fact, the Federal Bureau of Investigation is reporting that their 2012 UCR data shows a continued drop in violent crime across the United States, so what is this Sheriff from Bear Lake County, Idaho, talking about?

But wait, there’s more!

North of Bear Lake County is another bigger county, and the Sheriff is demanding a BearCat AFV for his deputies as well!

Bannock County Sheriff Lorin Nielsen is making the same claim; violent crime has climbed so high that “This has been, as I refer to it, the year from hell. We have been involved in three officer-involved shootings in the last year.”

For most metropolitan areas of the United States, three officer involved shootings is a good year!

Because of the three officer involved shootings, Nielsen wants to get a tank on wheels to protect his deputies.  That’s strange because it was his officers that were doing the shooting!!!  Do they plan on more shootings and they’re afraid people might start shooting back?

The BearCat AFV is claimed to be able to withstand a .50 caliber (12.7 mm) bullet.  To date there have been no officer involved shootings where the suspect was using an expensive and big .50 caliber gun!!!

The BearCat can carry 12 Boston Strong false flagger take your rights away from you paramilitary cops.  Some local law enforcement agencies in Idaho don’t even have that many cops!!!

The 2010 Census Bureau data for Bannock County, Idaho, shows a population of 83691.  From 2008 through 2009 there were about 11000 ‘crimes’ (including false calls to 911).  The overwhelming majority of those crimes were not violent crimes!  So why does the Bannock County Sheriff really want a tank on wheels?   (he already has an older one, but it lacks a heater and it gets cold in there in winter)

But wait, there’s more!

Next door, in Power County, Jim Jeffries the Sheriff said “Anything that can happen anywhere else will eventually happen in our hometowns, and in our counties. If you are going to have a team, it’s important to train that team to do the tactical things that they need to do.”

Sounds to me like Idaho Sheriffs are prepping for a little Boston Strong police stateism in the sparsely populated Gem State.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 2010 data, there were only 7766 people residing in Power County, Idaho.   Unfortunately Power County does have more crime than Bear Lake County.  According to FBI Uniform Crime Reports data, from 1999 to 2008 there was a total of 1257 crimes reported.  But only 83 were considered violent!

But wait, there’s more!

In toto, all six southeastern Idaho county Sheriffs are begging the underemployed residents to fork up the bucks to buy the AFVs.  And that’s even after they get grants from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and use money legally stolen from people who were arrested for drug related crimes.  (how expensive are these damned Lenco BearCats? About $260000 for one)

World War 3, War on Terror: So they killed bin Laden? So what! U.S. says the war will go on for 20 more years!

“This is the most disturbing hearing I’ve been to in some time.  You guys have rewritten the Constitution today!  You guys have invented this term, ‘associated forces’, that’s nowhere in this document.  It’s the justification for everything, and it renders the war powers of Congress null and void!“-Angus King, U.S. Senator from Maine, upon hearing the U.S. Defense Department’s plans to continue the War on Terror

A year ago John Brennan, U.S. CIA boss, said “…the al Qaeda core is no longer relavant.”  Two months ago James Clapper, director of U.S. National Intelligence, testified to the U.S. Senate saying al Qaeda is “…probably unable to carryout large scale, complex attacks on the west.”  But, just a couple days ago Michael Sheehan, assistant secretary of defense for special operations and low-intensity conflict, said the U.S. led War on Terror will last another “…10 to 20 years.”

Senator John McCain revealed one of the new fronts in the War on Terror: “…North Africa…”

Sheehan also revealed a new front in the War on Terror, the United States, when he said the War on Terror stretches “…from Boston to the FATA [Pakistan].”
