Pre-inauguration reality: Obama's choice of Vilsack and the death of American farming Obama picked Vilsack. Vilsack pushes NAIS. Monsanto helped design it. NAIS is a plan to get rid of farmers.

Apropos of Vilsack and Monsanto: Doctors in India point to genetic engineering's 'obsolete technology' In India where Mayhco is Monsanto's distributor, doctors are questioning every aspect of genetically engineered food as well as the government accepting Mahyco's own studies that Bt-brinjal is safe.

Monsanto and industrial agriculture's darkening shadow over our food Vilsack's nomination is dire for our country. Will the left wake up to what is happening to us and show up in force on behalf of our farmers and our own free access to food and to a real food supply?

NAIS, bogus Avian Flu epidemic, and biotech (Monsanto as one) plans for our animals NAIS appears to be a corporate plan to eliminate real farming and take over total control of our food supply through wiping out normal animals (as is being done with seeds) and replacing them with genetically engineered animals that are patented and wholly owned by multinationals.

Food Safety Regulations: Intended quicksand for sustainable agriculture Hidden inside regulations that are not voted on by any legislators representing the public are massive bars to all involvement in farming by small farmers. The monopolistic, unconstitutional, destructive reality of those regulations appear obvious when time is taken to look carefully.

The New York Times and the missing story of milk There are two stories happening about farming in this country - one of failure at a global level and one of success at a local level. The USDA is wiping out the latter - the sustainable agriculture Obama promised.

PASTEURIZATION: Pulling the Plug on Scientific Fallacies Undergirding Our Industrial Food and Drug Culture The terrible things happening to non-corporate farming and pure food depend on liberal assumptions about science. Those assumptions lead to mandatory regulations which have destructive consequences for farmers and food and our health.

Liberal fear of diseases and trust in science. A totalitarian's dream. ut it is not easy reaching urban liberals who have such a blind faith in "science" they miss the politics altogether as well as the suffering of other human beings who are being wiped out by the liberal desire for 100% certainty they won't get sick when they eat a sandwich.

Vilsack is not just totally pro-biotech, he is committedly anti-democracy Obama promised organic farming and then, over the objections of thousands of supporters, picked Vilsack for the USDA, a man who is committed to stopping organic farming.

Badly Need Your Help - Today, Now - To Reach MoveOn Your help is badly needed to get word out on this and to reach MoveOn. The urban left has missed the biggest attack on this country, perhaps ever. The farmland itself is being stolen out from under us, under the guise of "food safety." Reach MoveOn then reach every single news outlet you can possibly find.

Today is the most TERRIBLE day in the history of US farming The USDA, using the agriculture department of the state of Wisconsin, has attacked Emmanuel Miller, an Amish farmer, for not registering his "premises" under NAIS. He goes to court today. Why is an agency that will not inspect corporate slaughterhouses, feedlots, and animal factories going after non-corporate farmers with clean operations? What is going on?

Thinking about 9/11 in light of the bailout Thinking the unthinkable. Bush wrote a hell of a book in only 8 years. Destroying the constitution was the story, the bailout is his ending. What was his opening?

More raids against horse and buggy Mennonite in Pennsylvania Raids against farmers are occurring across the country. A significant one occurred on April 25, 2008, in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, when Mark Nolt, a Wenger Mennonite (Horse and Buggy Mennonite) dairyman, threatened for months with arrest for selling raw milk without a permit was removed from his property by state troopers.

From 9/11 to NAIS The fears of conservatives led to NSA-spying. The fears of liberals are leading to NAIS. Both are about monstrous centralized systems spying on us, taking freedoms and allowing for corporate control of our democracy and resources, including animals. Time for both to see how they are being manipulated and the freedoms to exist they are sacrificing.

Dear Wellesley College, my alma mater, and Robert Paarlberg, a professor there Wellesley College professor, Robert Paalberg, knows what is best for Africa - genetic engineering. The author, who attended Wellesley and seeing it deeply involved in promoting genetic engineering for the world, is ashamed they miss the reality of it - massive corporate control through patents and devastation economically and debt and destruction of farmers.
