Congress to vote on fascist “Protect IP Act” 11/16

California bans electronic clothing, lights, and stuffed animals at raves.

“We found out later on that, Constitutionally, you can not ban a type of music,” said Ma. “Plus, I, like my opponents said, I didn’t really know what was going on.”

Ron Paul on unconstitutional “Super Congress” provision in debt bill

Perhaps the most disturbing aspect of this deal is the “Super Congress” provision. This is nothing more than a way to disenfranchise the majority of Congress by denying them the chance for meaningful participation in the crucial areas of entitlement and tax reform. It cedes power to draft legislation to a special commission, hand-picked by the House and Senate leadership. The legislation produced by this commission will be fast-tracked, and Members will not have the opportunity to offer amendments. Approval of the recommendations of the “Super Congress” is tied to yet another debt ceiling increase. This guarantees that Members will face tremendous pressure to vote for whatever comes out of this commission– even if it includes tax increases. This provision is an excellent way to keep spending decisions out of the reach of members who are not on board with the leadership’s agenda.

Monsanto running U.S. agriculture into crisis

This came to me in an email from a family member who works in environmental health.

According to renowned plant pathologist Don Huber of Purdue University, Monsanto’s GMO Roundup Ready corn and soybean feeds have been linked to shocking 20% rates of infertility in cattle and hogs, and up to 45% spontaneous abortion rates in cattle and dairy operations, putting many farmers out of business. The cause appears to be associated with increased corn and soybean plant infection rates from a tiny soil-dwelling organism Fusarium oxysporum that can only be seen under an electron microscope. Dr. Huber is leading a charge to put a stop to sale and planting of Roundup Ready alfalfa that was recently approved by USDA head Tom Vilsack.

This news is hardly surprising, given the countless of warnings from ecologists that Monsanto’s rash practices would put our crops at increased risk for a disease. Ecological risk is something often overlooked or underrated in the industry, to the benefit of sheer financial gain. Unfortunately for us all, Monsanto literally owns 93% of soybeans, 82% of corn in the U.S., which quite likely means it is (and we are) recklessly blundering into an epic food crisis.

At the crux of this crisis is a soil organism Fusarium oxysporum that decreases manganese (a micro-nutrient) uptake in plants – and manganese deficiency leads to infertility and spontaneous abortion in livestock. The organism has been consistently isolated from the feed in operations plagued with fertility problems. In addition to a generally lower plant nutritional value, Roundup (glyphosate) use is linked to increased infection rates of Fusarium oxysporum, which causes sudden death syndrome in soybeans.

Despite these ominous findings, Secretary of Agriculture and Obama appointee Tom Vilsack certified Monsanto’s new genetically-modified organism (GMO) “Roundup-Ready” alfalfa earlier this year, after 6 years of lawsuits from farmers concerned with contamination in their fields of the plant due to inevitable cross-pollination. This decision legalizes the sale and planting of the Roundup Ready alfalfa, which will dominate the market within 5 years on the same scale as Monsanto corn and soybeans under business as usual. Because alfalfa is the nation’s staple feed crop, any similar pattern of Fusarium oxysporum infection in alfalfa would leave the beef and dairy industry in shambles.

Dr. Huber is so alarmed with the ramifications of Roundup Ready alfalfa on our agricultural system that he is publicly calling for president Obama to halt the sale and planting of the crops (sign the petition!). He’s putting his long, prestigious career on the line in favor of swift action that is not possible in the inherently slow, arduous debates of peer-reviewed journals. Not to mention, he is sticking out his neck in the line of fire of corporate behemoth Monsanto, who has already started a smear campaign against him.

Whenever crop production is turned to a field of clones, as is the case with Roundup-Ready systems, there is an inherent vulnerability to disease. The use of glyphosate, the herbicidal ingredient of Roundup, causes a shift in the types of organisms that are represented in the soil microbial populations. Some important species’ functions become absent, such as those that promote plant uptake of nutrients including Mn, or those that are effective biological control against plant diseases. As a result, plants may become less nutritious and more vulnerable to massive crop failures.

Here are two PDF’s of articles on the link between glyphosates and crop micronutrient deficiencies:

Reinstate Glass-Steagall now

This is one of the key steps toward fixing our fraudulent banking system. Since the 1930s, Glass-Steagall protected our savings and retirement accounts from being invested in speculative high-risk markets like sub-prime mortgages and derivatives.  When the Clinton Administration and the banker lobbyists got rid of it in the ’90s, that opened the gates of hell and now the fraudsters are multiplying their wealth out of control thru fractional lending and bailouts.

This is an exciting opportunity for us to take back some control over our economy.  Please support this bill any way you can.

“Patriot” Act extension robo-signed, literally

Patriot Act Vote Imminent

May 20, 2011 – Campaign for Liberty

Politicians shredding your rights is not patriotic.

The U.S. Congress is poised to vote on the badly misnamed “Patriot Act,” and your immediate action is needed to stop this Fourth Amendment-shredding legislation from being renewed.

House Speaker Boehner, Senator Reid, and President Obama have cut a deal to foist a 4-year extension of 3 expiring provisions on innocent Americans, and with just 1 week to go before their expiration, the statists are desperate to push this legislation through.

For 10 years now, the Patriot Act has been eroding our freedoms and turning our nation into a despotic authoritarian state.

In February, you and I mounted a defense that caused quite a stir on the Hill.  Our lawmakers had grown accustomed to meeting limited resistance on this Act and had every expectation that the extensions would sail through easily.

While the expiring provisions were extended for 3 months, your quick action put our lawmakers on notice that Americans are no longer willing to trade liberty for a false sense of security.

Your help is extremely essential to regaining lost freedoms and defeating this continued tyrannical suspension of your most basic Constitutionally protected rights.

The Patriot Act dismantled your right to be considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

It removed protections from unlawful searches and seizures. Government agents can now pry into your phone, internet, library, and banking records with no court oversight and no evidence of a crime.

They can tap your phones, monitor every keystroke you make on the internet, scrutinize every penny you spend, and if they are so inclined–hold you without charges and deny your right to legal counsel.

The entire Patriot Act needs to be repealed, but right now, the three sunsetting provisions should be allowed to expire outright.

Extreme pressure is being placed on our lawmakers to renew these provisions–and unless they sustain serious counter-pressure from us–they will choose the path of least resistance!

Don’t let anyone tell you that your phone calls and emails to Congress don’t matter.  Enough pressure from us can and will prove that if they cave to the statist’s demands, they will lose their jobs in the next election cycle.

But they need to hear from each and every one of us for liberty to win!

They need to hear loud and clear that the freedom movement is very much alive and well–and we will not sit idly by while they legislate away our most basic rights.

Call and email your Representative and Senators today and tell them to vote NO on EVERY vote pertaining to renewing any part of the Patriot Act.

The Patriot Act was forced on innocent Americans after 9/11 on the claim that it would keep us safe.  But 9/11 occurred because the government failed to use existing intelligence–not because they didn’t have the necessary intelligence-gathering tools.

The abominable acts that occurred on 9/11 were unjustifiable, but we cannot allow the White House and Congress to destroy the rights and liberties that made this nation great!

Contact your Representative and Senators today and demand they vote against renewing the Patriot Act on every vote.

We must ensure that the pressure lawmakers are receiving from those who would shred our rights pales in comparison to those of us fighting for freedom.
