Martial Law U.S.A. Israeli style: Operation Independence Day does just the opposite! Disguised as drug & DUI busts!

04 July 2013 (14:21 UTC-07 Tango)/25 Sha’ban 1434/13 Tir 1391/27 Ji-Wie (5th month) 4711

Oklahoma Highway Patrol says it will increase statewide patrols starting at 18:00 hours UTC-6 Sierra, and will conduct DUI and saturation patrols throughout the holiday weekend.

Last night, in one Missouri city, dozens of people were arrested or ticketed at a sobriety checkpoint and during saturation patrols, however, only a fraction were intoxicated.  Independence police arrested a total of six people for being intoxicated, ten people arrested on warrants and four “other” arrests.

14 people were given tickets for hazardous driving, six for not having a driver’s license, and 22 people ticketed for “other” violations!  Doesn’t sound like a sobriety crackdown to me.

This morning, in Kentucky, police began rounding up who they call suspected drug traffickers.  Laurel County Sheriff’s Office deputies, London police, Williamsburg police, Kansas State Police and Constable Charlie Johnson arrested more than 20 people, and took their cars and money.  Officials say they continue to seek suspects.

In North Carolina, cops conducted drug raids in what’s being called Operation Independence Day.  Lincolnton police said they nabbed more than 30 people on warrants that were simply based on probable cause.  Lincolnton cops told local news media that they never stop their undercover ops, and that they will double the number of people arrested this year!

But according to an exclusive report out of Los Angeles, California, Operation Independence Day is not about fighting intoxication or illegal drugs.

TV station KTTV were given access to training being conducted at the behest of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.  The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department revealed massive oppression operations being conducted across the country, in the name of security.

Not only will there be an increase in uniformed cops on the streets, but massive amounts of plain clothes cops as well: “Working undercover, looking like any other passenger, they scour faces, briefcases and backpacks, looking for anything out of the ordinary.”-KTTV report

Here’s the major problem with plain clothes cops: Recently a University of Virginia student was chased down by a group of men she thought was trying to rob her.  They tried breaking in the windows of her car.  They were plain clothes cops, who thought the underaged girl had just bought beer.  They arrested her, but couldn’t charge her with the alcohol crime ’cause it was actually bottled water, so they charged her with assaulting a cop and resisting arrest!

You have to wounder, where are they getting all these cops from anyway?

It’s been reported that Ohio cops are chasing down anyone who tries to avoid a checkpoint.

In New York City, a female college student (from New Jersey) is suing the city because the cops randomly stopped and searched her, including looking in her underwear!  (this is just one of a growing number of incidents around the country, like the video of the Florida cop making a woman pull open her bra after he stopped her for a broken headlight, his police department told local news media they have no such policy allowing him to do that)

Why are more and more U.S. cops acting like Israeli storm troopers?

Former Marine, Gordan Duff, reporting on the Israelization of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security: “The door to this foreign influence in America was thrown open by the Department of Homeland Security and, in particular, Michael Chertoff, an Israeli citizen who was, in particular, most instrumental as former Director of DHS in implementing policies challenged as unconstitutional, policies the new ‘Israeli trained’ American police are tasked with stopping opposition to.”

“Hundreds of such units are with American police departments, as advised by the Department of Homeland Security, to keep track of groups they feel require observation, despite recent court rulings that have overturned FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act) as unconstitutional.

Among the groups watched are veteran’s organizations, the Tea Party, Christian, Muslim and Jewish religious groups, labor unions, professional organizations and members of government, police officers and members of Federal law enforcement and anti-drug organizations.”

“….America has a long reputation for corrupt police organizations. Every few years there is, in every major city, an investigation with the police commissioner and many senior officers imprisoned.

At one point, Bernie Kerik, nominee for head of the Department of Homeland Security and Police Commissioner of the City of New York had actually served as Minister of the Interior of Iraq under the interim US government that ran that country after the 2003 invasion.

Kerik is in prison, originally charged with 16 felonies, some committed while running Iraq and facing a 142 year sentence and millions in fines. In a plea deal, Kerik is only serving 4 years. Kerik, prior to becoming police commissioner, Minister of the Interior of Iraq and nearly taking over the operation of the largest agency in the United States was New York mayor Rudy Giuliani’s driver.”

World War 3, West Asian Front-Syria: UN demands combat cease on Golan Heights, Israel says it’s ready to invade!

28 June 2013 (23:55 UTC-07 Tango 27 June 2013)/19 Sha’ban 1434/07 Tir 1391/21 Wu-Wu (5th month) 4711

“What has changed here is that today we are carrying out an exercise in the Golan Heights which is not theoretical. The reality around us is changing and is volatile, and we must be ready accordingly.  I want the other side to know that when needed, we can move to any side, and I do not care that the other side hears this! I hope that we are not tested and that we meet any challenge.”-Binyamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel

The United Nations has renewed Disengagement Observer Force (DOF) operations in the Golan Heights.   The UN is also demanding that all combat taking place in the Golan cease.  Japan, Croatia and Austria have already withdrawn their UNDOF troops.  That leaves UNDOF troops from Fiji, India and Philippines.

Israeli Minister of Defense, Moshe Ya’alon, made this statement about current war games conducted by the Israeli Defense Force Golani Brigade: “Golani, as other fighting units in the IDF, may find itself called to a campaign in a short period of time. Therefore, this exercise, as with others taking place these days, has special significance, in this time and in this sector.”

Ya’alon also referenced Gaza Strip, which is nowhere near Golan Heights!

World War 3, Martial Law U.S.A.: Canadian diplomat says U.S. citizens complicit in their own destruction!

26 June 2013 (12:50 UTC-07 Tango)/17 Sha’ban 1434/05 Tir 1391/19 Wu-Wu (5th month) 4711

“To preserve its perilous dominance the U.S. today is arming against its own people….”-Peter Dale Scott, former English Professor at the University of California Berkeley, May 2012

Also a former Canadian diplomat, Peter Dale Scott, attended a meeting in Russia in May 2012.  He was commenting on U.S. foreign policy and potential threats to Russia.  He also realized that the people of the United States have backed way off their anti-government protests since Obama became president, and are seemingly complicit in the federal government’s totalitarian agenda.

Peter Dale Scott: What particularly concerns me is the relative absence of public response in America to a long-term Pentagon-CIA agenda of aggressive military hegemonism – or what I will call “dominationism.” No doubt many Americans may think that a global pax Americana will secure a period of peace, much like the pax Romana of two millennia ago. I myself am confident that it will not: rather, like the imperfect pax Britannica of a century ago, it will lead inevitably to major conflict, possibly nuclear war. For the secret of the pax Romana was that Rome, under Hadrian, withdrew from Mesopotamia and accepted strict limits to its area of dominance. Britain never achieved that wisdom until too late; America, to date, has never achieved it at all.

And so very few in America seem to care about Washington’s global domination project, at least since the failure of massive protests to prevent the Iraq War. We have seen much critical examination of why America fought in Vietnam, and even the American involvement in atrocities like the Indonesian massacre of 1965. Authors like Noam Chomsky and William Blum have chronicled America’s criminal acts since World War Two, but without any prominent concern about the recent acceleration of American military expansiveness. Only a few, like Chalmers Johnson and Andrew Bacevich, have written about the progressive consolidation of a war machine that now dominates America’s political processes.

It is also striking that, until quite recently, the nascent Occupy movement has had little to say about America’s unprovoked wars; I am not sure they have even targeted the militarization of surveillance, law enforcement, and detention camps which are so important a part of the domestic apparatus of repression that threatens their own survival – the so-called “continuity of government” (COG) measures by which America’s military planners have prepared never again to have to deal with a successful American anti-war movement. 

…….I hope that Americans will mobilize against American dominationism, and call for a policy declaration, either from the administration or from Congress, that would:

1) explicitly renounce past Pentagon calls for “full spectrum dominance” as a military objective for American foreign policy,

2) reject as unacceptable the deeply-ingrained practice of preemptive wars,

3) renounce categorically any US plans for the permanent use of military bases in Iraq, Afghanistan, or Kyrgyzstan, and

4) recommit the United States to conducting future military operations in accordance with the procedures set out in the United Nations Charter.

Scott published in 2003 a book that established that U.S. foreign policy is about propping up the Nixon created U.S. petro-dollar system, and that the military uses drug trafficking to fund ever escalating operations. The book is called Drugs, Oil and War.

World War 3, West Asian Front-Syria: Obama orders U.S. personnel to occupy Jordan in massive troop buildup! Preps for invasion of Syria?

22 June 2013 (13:08 UTC-07 Tango)/13 Sha’ban 1434/01 Tir 1391/15 Wu-Wu (5th month) 4711

“The detachment will remain in Jordan, in full coordination with the government of Jordan, until the security situation becomes such that it is no longer needed.”-Barack Obama, President of United States

After months of saying U.S. Marines, and other personnel were in Jordan for war games, U.S. President Barack Obama has ordered 700 Marines (originally scheduled to leave) to remain incountry indefinitely.

Analysts claim Obama is only responding to a request for military help from the British installed Hashemite king of Jordan, Abdullah II ibn Al-Hussein: “The Jordanians came dead set on pushing the Americans to create a safe zone. They didn’t get it, but they left with some reassurances and I think the troops are part of that.”-Elizabeth O’Bagy, Institute for the Study of War

Not only will U.S. Marines be left behind, but U.S. Army Patriot missiles systems and their crews, USAF F-16 fighter/bomber aircraft and personnel, and other personnel and equipment for command & control operations.  There are now more than 5000 U.S. military personnel in Jordan.

Main streamer U.S. news media reporting that only 1000 U.S. personnel are in Jordan, but U.S. military news source, Stars and Stripes, reports that at least 5000 U.S. personnel are incountry for war games called Eager Lion, along with 3000 military personnel from 19 other countries.  That exercise officially ended on 20 June 2013, which means almost all those 8000 U.S. backed personnel are still there.

Also, the U.S. Department of Defense officials revealed that at least 200 personnel and their equipment, from the U.S. Army’s 1st Armored Division will be deploying to Jordan.

Obama also intimated that it was all about going to war with Syria: “The deployment of this detachment has been directed in furtherance of U.S. national security and foreign policy interests, including the important national interests in supporting the security of Jordan and promoting regional stability….”

Back at the beginning of June, Syrian news media reported that U.S. Marines were spotted along the border with Jordan and Syria.  Syrian news media also claimed that sources in the United States told them the 26th Marine Expeditionary Force were not in Jordan for war games, as Obama spokesmen repeatedly stated.

Obama made the announcement of Jordanian occupation to the U.S. Congress as part of the War Powers Act reporting procedures.

Government Evil: U.S. backed Israel uses Palestinian children for child sacrifice rituals, disguised as security operations! Read here what the other news sources aren’t reporting!

20 June 2013 (14:22 UTC-07 Tango)/11 Sha’ban 1434/30 Khordad 1391/13 Wu-Wu (5th month) 4711

“Palestinian children being shot by the State party’s [Israeli] military near the Gaza border whilst collecting building material to support their families in the reconstruction of their homes, 30 such cases having been reported over the reporting period…”

In Israel, a child who throws a stone can spend 20 years in prison, under Israeli law!

The following excerpts are from the results of a ten year United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child investigation:

“The Committee is also concerned that the average spending per child in the Arab localities is estimated to be more than a third lower than in Jewish localities and that the State party [Israel] fails to take into account the unequal level of resources provided to the two health systems to explain the persistent disparities in relation to health indicators between the Arab and Jewish children.”

“The Committee also expresses concern that Palestinian non-governmental organizations and international human rights organizations working in the OPT [Occupied Palestinian Territories] are increasingly perceived as a threat to national security and are subject to, among others, harassment, arrest and denial of work permits.”

“The Committee also expresses concern about the adoption of numerous discriminatory laws……which affect primarily Palestinian children in all aspects of their life but also Arab Israeli, Bedouins, and Ethiopian children as well as children of migrant workers and asylum seekers…..the implementation of two separate legal systems and institutions amount to de facto segregation….”

“The Committee expresses serious concerns that hundreds of Palestinian children have been killed and thousands injured over the reporting period as a result of the State party military operations, especially in Gaza where the State party proceeded to air and naval strikes on densely populated areas with a significant presence of children….”

“The rise in the number of children from the OPT being subjected to attacks by settlers in the West Bank……in most of the cases Israeli military forces not only fail to intervene to prevent violence and to protect children, but also bring support to those committing violence. The Committee further notes with concern that, in most of the cases, perpetrators are not brought to justice and enjoy full impunity for their crimes….”

“The devastating impact on….children living in the OPT….a collective punishment imposed in clear violation of Israel’s obligations under international humanitarian law.”

“[Israeli] courts are not obliged to hear the opinions of the child…in adoption proceedings…children are not aware of being adopted.”

“The ban on the granting of Israeli citizenship to children born of an Israeli parent and a parent from the OPT, the decision of the State party to stop processing for residency applications for Palestinian children since 2000 as well as the arbitrary revocation of residency and identity of those living in East Jerusalem have resulted in thousands of unregistered Palestinian children excluded from access to health services, education and any other type of social benefits as well as in thousands of children being prevented from living with their parents…”

“Children of migrants born in the State party often do not receive an official birth certificate but a hand-written official notification without the father’s name being indicated. The Committee is also concerned about information that migrant families who are unable to cover the cost of hospitalisation might be denied birth notification, and about reported cases of migrant families who have to pay exorbitant costs for a DNA test….reported cases of families forced to sign voluntary return declarations to be able to obtain official birth certificates.”

“…the [Israeli] Adoption of Children Law which allows hiding from a child the fact that he or she has been adopted……..result in the child being labelled as a ‘bastard’ according to Jewish Halasha.”

“….reported practice of torture and ill-treatment of Palestinian children arrested, prosecuted and detained by the military and the police….”

“Routinely arrested in the middle of the night by soldiers shouting instructions at the family and taken hand-tied and blindfolded to unknown destination without having the possibility to say good bye to their parents who rarely know where their children are taken;…Systematically subject to physical and verbal violence, humiliation, painful restraints, hooding of the head and face in a sack, threatened with death, physical violence, and sexual assault against themselves or members of their family, restricted access to toilet, food and water. These crimes are perpetrated from the time of arrest, during transfer and interrogation, to obtain a confession but also on an arbitrary basis as testified by several Israeli soldiers as well as during pre-trial detention; and…Held in solitary confinement, sometimes for months.”

“….high proportion of students reporting that they have experienced physical and emotional maltreatment, and that corporal punishment continues to be inflicted on children in detention.”

“….psychological violence inflicted on Palestinian children who witness their parents being beaten or humiliated and the demolition of their homes….”

“…..in 2008, the Israeli Defence Forces closed down two institutions for children in Hebron without any written instructions and proper alternative plans, evicting 3,192 children and confiscating all clothing, food, stationary and other supplies….”

“…deteriorated situation of health and health services for children in the OPT….due to [Israeli] attacks on hospitals and clinics….and the denial of and delays in…transfer…to medical facilities outside the OPT which have caused the death of many children and pregnant women….”

“…high level of mortality of Bedouin children living in so-called ‘unrecognized’ villages in the Negev who are deprived of basic health services….”

“Children in the Gaza Strip suffering from blood disorders and sanitation related diseases such as watery diarrhoea and typhoid due to daily exposure to highly contaminated water….”

“The Committee is concerned about the high rate of suicide and attempts at suicide among adolescents in the State party, especially among girls.”

“The Committee is concerned….about the privatization of social services…construction of the Wall…Land confiscation, large-scale demolition of Palestinian houses, expulsion of Palestinian and Bedouin families….constant fear of eviction and demolition….critical water shortage….due to prohibitions of access to natural resources….children living in so-called ‘unrecognized villages’….Children in the OPT increasingly suffering from chronic malnutrition….severe restrictions on access to agricultural land and the sea….by Israeli settlers and the State authorities.”

“Jewish and Arab children continue to be educated in segregated school systems…..with lower investment in the education system for Arab children which results in a severe shortage of classrooms, in substandard conditions and quality of teaching, low academic results and high school drop-out.”

“300 educational facilities have been damaged during the operation ‘Pillar of defence’….Palestinian schools were attacked by the State party military or settlers and in some cases used as military outposts or detention centres. Furthermore, children continue to be subject to harassment, threats and violence by the State party’s military and security forces as well as by settlers on their way to and from school….”

“The [Israeli] Anti-Infiltration Law enacted in January 2012 which allows for the prolonged detention of children, including child victims of exploitation, torture and trafficking…..rise in arrests since August 2011 of children of migrant workers, including children born in the State party, in extremely stressful conditions such as those conducted at night…..In 2011, 19 boys attempted suicide in the Matan detention facility of Harera and in the Givon detention facility, girls have been detained together with adults…..”

“…..continuous use of Palestinian children as human shields and informants….[Israeli] soldiers have used Palestinian children to enter potentially dangerous buildings ahead of them and to stand in front of military vehicles in order to stop the throwing of stones…..Almost all those using children as human shield and informants have remained unpunished and that the soldiers convicted for having forced at gunpoint a nine-year old child to search bags suspected of containing explosives only received a suspended sentence of three months and were demoted.”

“…..an estimated 7000 Palestinian children aged from 12 to 17 years, but sometimes as young as nine years, have been arrested, interrogated and detained….this number having increased by 73% since September 2011….Most of the Palestinian children arrested often on an arbitrary basis….236 children are currently detained for alleged security reasons, dozens of them are between the ages of 12 and 15….systematically subject to degrading treatment, and often to acts of torture, are interrogated in Hebrew, a language they do not understand, and sign confessions in Hebrew in order to be released;…Children are brought in leg chains and shackles wearing prison uniforms before military courts where confessions obtained from them under duress….transferred out of the OPT and serve their detention and sentences inside Israel in breach of Article 76 of the Fourth Geneva Convention….detained in overcrowded cells together with adults…”

Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman, Yigal Palmor, admitted to their evil by simply saying the investigation was “….simply recycling old stuff, there is no importance in that.”

World War 3, West Asian Front: Iran preps to invade Syria? Israel trafficking arms to al Qaeda?

17 June 2013 (19:16 UTC-07 Tango 16 June 2013)/08 Sha’ban 1434/27 Khordad 1391/10 Wu-Wu (5th month) 4711

The British newspaper, The Independent, has a long winded article who’s only claim is “….that a military decision has been taken in Iran – even before last week’s presidential election – to send a first contingent of 4,000 Iranian Revolutionary Guards to Syria…”

The United Kingdom based news outlet claims their source for the info is “…pro-Iranian sources which have been deeply involved in the Islamic Republic’s security.”

There is currently nothing to be found in any Iranian news sources, about such claims.

Iranian news media has been reporting on meetings between Israeli officials, and officials from Qatar, concerning the supply of weapons to U.S. backed al Qaeda insurgents in Syria.  The meeting actually took place in the United Kingdom: “The 4-hour meeting was held in a house in Braum House in London belonging to Khalid a-Abeed, a Qatari citizen residing in Britain, on May 20.  During the meeting, It was decided that Israel prepare and supply the weapons needed by the terrorists in Syria and enter negotiations with European arms manufacturing companies on arms purchases and money transfer methods, and the Qatari side cover the funds and needed budget for purchases.”-Unnamed Qatari security source

World War 3, West Asian Front: U.S. Marines invade Jordan?

07 June 2013 (11:48 UTC-07 Tango)/28 Rajab 1434/17 Khordad 1391/29 Wu-Wu (4th month) 4711

Afew days ago the USMC landed at least 1000 gyrines at the port of Aqaba in Jordan, according to some Israeli news sources.

Those reports say the 24th Marine Expeditionary Force immediately began  deploying along the border with Syria.

U.S. reports say this is part of the yearly “military exercise” between the U.S. and Jordan.  However, the Israeli report says their sources in Washington DC are telling them the USMC deployment is not part of the war games.

World War 3, West Asian Front: Golan Heights update, Syrian Army takes control! Austria retreats!

06 June 2013 (13:44 UTC-07 Tango)/27 Rajab 1434/16 Khordad 1391/28 Wu-Wu (4th month) 4711

After earlier reports by Israeli military and pro-rebel groups, that U.S. backed rebels seized control of the Quneitra crossing on the Israel-Syria ceasefire line in the Golan Heights, it’s now clear who actually won the battle; Syria.

The Syrian government reports that after a day long battle they’ve “liberated” Quneitra.

Also, the Austrian government announced it with pullout 380 of its troops stationed on the Golan Heights.  They are part of the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF).  Austrian officials say major fighting on the Golan continues.   This is looking as if Syria is serious about taking back their rightful territory from Israel.

World War 3, West Asian Front: Israel says U.S. backed rebels have captured Golan Heights!

06 June 2013 (04:06 UTC-07 Tango)/27 Rajab 1434/16 Khordad 1391/28 Wu-Wu (4th month) 4711

Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) radio says a group of U.S. backed Syrian rebels have captured the Quneitra crossing on the Israel-Syria ceasefire line in the Golan Heights.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), a pro-rebel group based in United Kingdom, confirmed the IDF report.

Both the IDF and the SOHR say fighting between rebels and Syrian forces continue in that area.  However, an unnamed Israeli source questioned just who captured the Quneitra crossing: “The incident is ongoing so it’s very hard to say who is in control there.”

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?
