GM Food Safety Study Reignites Call to Overhaul Canada’s RegulationsNew article

June 24, 2014. Ottawa. The Canadian Biotechnology Action Network (CBAN) is calling on Health Canada to place a moratorium on approving new genetically modified (GM) foods, to re-evaluate the safety of GM foods already on the market, and to initiate a complete overhaul of the regulatory system.

Author's View Point
The awakening people are also beginning to see they have been misled by corporate tricksters and federal government criminals poisoned by too much power, control and greed, which has resulted in the creation of the monstrous, out-of-control corporate beast.

The call comes in response to the republication of a long-term study of a GM corn that exposes a lack of scientific rigour in Canada’s regulatory system seemingly regulated by MONSANTO the GMO giant

“Many Canadians may be surprised to find out that Health Canada doesn’t require any long-term safety tests on GM foods and that this study is the first of its kind,” said CBAN’s Lucy Sharratt.

“The results of this study are a real concern, especially in Canada where we’ve been eating this GM corn since 2001.”

The long-term safety test on GM corn was conducted by a team of scientists in France, led by Caen University molecular biologist Giles-Éric Séralini. It was first published in September 2012 in the peer-reviewed journal Food and Chemical Toxicology, which then retracted the paper in November 2013. The paper is published today in Environmental Sciences Europe. The research team has now also released their raw data.

“We clearly need more independent and critical review of safety claims made by industry. There is too little independent science examining questions of GM food safety,” said Sharratt.

From article:
"As further revelations have broken open regarding this evil giant’s true intentions, Monsanto crafted the ridiculous HR 933 Continuing Resolution, aka Monsanto Protection Act, which Obama robo-signed into law as well.This law states that no matter how harmful Monsanto’s GMO crops are and no matter how much devastation they wreak upon the country, U.S. federal courts cannot stop them from continuing to plant them anywhere they choose. Yes, Obama signed a provision that makes Monsanto above any laws and makes them more powerful than the government itself. We have to wonder who’s really in charge of the country because it’s certainly not him!"

There comes a tipping point though when a corporation becomes too evil and the world pushes back…hard! Many countries continue to convict Monsanto of crimes against humanity and have banned them altogether, telling them to “get out and stay out!”

The GM corn, called NK603, is “Roundup Ready” which means it is genetically modified to be tolerant to Monsanto’s herbicide formulation called Roundup, the most widely used herbicide in the world.

Monsanto published a 90-day feeding trial of the GM corn in 2004, three years after Health Canada’s 2001 approval. The French team conducted their feeding trial over the full two-year lifespan of rats. The rats were fed three different diets: the GM corn alone, the GM corn grown with Roundup (with Roundup residues), and Roundup alone.

The study reported adverse effects including organ damage, tumor growth, and increased mortality in rats fed both GM corn with and without Roundup, and in rats fed low levels of Roundup.

“Canadians need to know about this study before they buy their sweet corn this summer,” said Thibault Rehn of the Quebec coalition Vigilance OGM, “Without long-term studies like this one, we don’t know enough about the safety of GM corn. Its important to remember that there is no labeling for consumers of GM foods.”

CBAN tests of sweet corn samples in October of last year found GM sweet corn in grocery stores, road-side stands and farmers markets across Canada.

How can Canadians make informed choices for their children?

US 'fails to account' for Iraq reconstruction billions
A US federal watchdog has criticised the US military for failing to account properly for billions of dollars it received to help rebuild Iraq.

The Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction says the US Department of Defence is unable to account properly for 96% of the money.

Out of just over $9bn (£5.8bn), $8.7bn is unaccounted for, the inspector says.

The US military said the funds were not necessarily missing, but that spending records might have been archived.

In a response attached to the report, it said attempting to account for the money might require "significant archival retrieval efforts".
Reconstruction money

Much of the money came from the sale of Iraqi oil and gas.

Some frozen Saddam Hussein-era assets were also sold off.

The funds in question were administered by the US Department of Defence between 2004 and 2007, and were earmarked for reconstruction projects.

But, the report says, a lack of proper accounting makes it impossible to say exactly what happened to most of the money.

This is not the first time that allegations of missing billions have surfaced in relation to the US-led invasion of Iraq and its aftermath.

No-one from the Iraqi government was immediately available for comment.

Canadian and Americans alike already know that we aren’t fighting a war with Islamic radicals or terrorists anymore. We are fighting an overseas contingency operation. Just recently our Commander in Chief Barack Hussein Obama, removed the terms ‘Islamic extremism’ from the main document which describes our national security strategy. Islamic extremism, radicalism, fundamentalism is not to be used with military operations and focus anymore. After all, that would be a kind of religious racism wouldn’t it?

Obama is aggressively shifting and redirecting how we interact with Islam and Islamic nations. We have seen Obama scrub honest and real national security and war terms from the book. He is openly at odds with his new commander in Afghanistan, General Petraeus, who has coined the Petraeus doctrine, which defines the enemy as Islamic insurgents, Islamic extremists, and Islamic subversives. He talks of endless connection and support between Muslim support groups and Islamic terrorists. The obvious rolls on by Obama as usual.

Obama has never been happy with the obvious, that we are at war with Islamic radicals throughout the world. So, beyond changing the names and making everyone in the military, media and country pretend we aren’t fighting Islam anyway, he has made other notable changes. He has appointed ‘devout Muslims’ to critical Homeland Security positions. Among this growing list are: Kareen Shora, ADC National Executive Director as a member of the Homeland Security Advisory Council and Arif Alikhan, Assistant Secretary for Policy Development.

Maybe if Obama can change all the honest names of who we are fighting with and appoint ‘devout Muslims’ into critical posts of power for national security he can put Islam and its power where he wants it over the American people. After all, it is a Religion of peace. Don’t the American people realize that yet?

Obama has to do more to manipulate Islam to power and control. How about turning our historical and leading space program NASA into an Islamic apologist, with the main goal of honoring the scientific achievements and space interests of Islam? Oh yeah, he already did that.

Along with all the name changes and appointments, we see media intimidation, compromise and controls regarding Obama, his roots and agenda. Doug Hagmann Homelandsecurityus.com and Judi McLeod, editor of Canada Free Press, investigated for over a year intimidation and threats into silence of some anchors and any staff that would have dared cover Obama’s eligibility story. At least one, major, national host was scared into silence and contacted Hagmann.

Even with the intimidation and threats to media from the Obama administration for those who dare to question the holy one, is the complicate and shameful sell out of most media itself. Much of the media decided to ignore the sea of compromising voting records, un-American and dangerous associations, inconsistent statements and evidence regarding what Obama really believes in and operates from. Our country is paying dearly for that disgraceful sell out today.

Obama’s final strategy to elevate Islam, the Religion he says he will side with in his own book and own words, is to demonize, patronize and minimize Israel, thus lifting up the threatening Islamic nations and Islamic terrorists surrounding Israel.

We have seen Obama give over a billion dollars to the Islamic serial killers, Hamas, who do nothing but attack, murder Israelis and plan more attacks while playing the persecuted victim. We have seen Obama import Hamas ‘victims’ to the U.S. and Canada

Naturally it is not enough to fund the enemy. Therefore, Obama has to insult and harass Israel the entire first two years he is in office. Biden and Hillary had their knickers in a twist when Prime Minister Netanyahu wouldn’t stop building homes on their sovereign land, per their mandate.

Obama also managed to support the lies and international distortion surrounding the Turkish flotilla incident, where Israeli commandos were forced to stop ships heading straight for the Gaza. It didn’t matter that Israel had already warned Turkey not to send any ships to Gaza. It didn’t matter that over 50 people on terrorist watch lists were found on one of the boats. It didn’t matter that Israel wasn’t trying or planning to hurt people on the boats but to re route them to another port where they could search them. Why would the Israelis want to search boats full of aid and help??? Maybe because they had apprehended all kinds of terrorist equipment, personnel and bombs going to the Gaza before. Israel ended up being 100% right that this was more of the same. Obama didn’t care. He, along with the Islam worshipping, UN rebuked Israel and demanded investigations….bla bla bla.

OK, OK, Islam is a Religion that wants peace. They just have peppered through their teaching, preaching, traditions and Holy books, statements of hate for Jews and Christians, agendas to conquer societies, import Sharia law and have a world wide caliphate again. Jihad is really just an internal struggle, so they say. Tell that to the thousands who have been murdered at the hands of Islamic radicals here and abroad.

We have seen non stop honor killings, murder of US soldiers by Islamic US soldiers in our country and abroad; near miss plane attacks and car bombing attempts! 9/11 just started a new wave of what we had been experiencing for years.

More from the Religion of peace. This week 64 people were murdered by Somali Islamists who bombed a ton of people as they watched the World Cup finals in Uganda.

Finally, is there any question about the loyalties of this President when his attorney General Eric Holder has thrown out the case against the New Black Panther leadership who were caught threatening, menacing and intimidating voters outside a precinct in 2008? Most of us have heard the famous words of Malik Zulu Shabazz by now, screaming his hate for white crackers and urging people to murder whites and their babies. He did this while brandishing a weapon and scaring voters. What we also must remember is that the Black Panthers are historically anti Semitic and pro ‘black Islam.’ Gee, they hate Jews and love Islam. Any questions as to why the slam dunk case against them was thrown out by the Obama administration and Holder???
Reality check

We are in a war with radical Islam, not all Islamics, but many. We have a President who is Muslim and kisses up to Muslim nations. We have a President who insults and shreds our treasured relationship with Israel. We have a President who compromises our national security by appointing Muslims to high level, national security positions and lies about who is threatening us and constantly attacking us.

WASHINGTON (AFP) - President Barack Obama and his wife have doubled their income since he took office, declaring a joint gross income of 5.5 million dollars for the 2009 fiscal year, the White House said Thursday.

The average annual household income in the United States was around 50,303 dollars in 2008, according to official figures.

Obama earned an annual salary as president of 374,460 dollars since his inauguration in January 2009, according to his tax filings released Thursday.

But most of his income came from his books, which have leaped to the top of the bestseller lists since he first started running for the White House.

In 2008, Obama and his wife, Michelle, declared a joint gross income of 2.65 million dollars, most of which also came from royalties on his books "Dreams of My Father" and "The Audacity of Hope."

According to his 2009 documents, the Obamas paid 1.79 million dollars in federal taxes and 163,303 dollars in state taxes to Illinois where the couple owns a home in Chicago.

April 15 is the date set by which all Americans and US residents must file their annual tax returns to the Internal Revenue Service.

Obama also received 1.4 million dollars last year when he won the Nobel Peace Prize, but he has donated his prize money among 10 charities, the White House said, and the sum is not part of the 5.5 million dollars declared income.

The couple also donated 329,100 dollars to 40 different charities in 2009, with the largest reported gifts being 50,000 dollars to CARE and the United Negro College Fund.

In 2007, the Obamas said they had earned 4.2 million dollars.

The first couple's filing contrasted strongly with the more meager tax returns of Vice President Joe Biden and his wife, Jill, who declared 333,182 dollars in joint income for 2009.

That was still an increase from 2008 when their joint income was 269,256 dollars. They also gave some 4,820 dollars to charity, or some 1.4 percent of their incomes, the White House said.

The average annual household income in the United States was around 50,303 dollars in 2008, according to official figures.
