The Obama Administration has launched its newest campaign to confiscate the minds of our children. To qualify for federal grant funds, Obama is requiring states to adopt a new program called Common Core State Standards In English. The program would wipe great works of literature from English curriculums across the country. And replace them with “information text”, such as “Executive Order 13423: Strengthening Federal Environmental, Energy, and Transportation Management”, an Order, of course, favorable to the Liberal environmentalist movement. Via Lucianne, Powerline reports, Controversy is brewing over new Common Core State Standards in English that call on public schools to...

Tens of thousands of protesters paraded through Hong Kong on Sunday, waving placards denouncing “brainwashing” by China’s ruling Communist Party and calling for the scrapping of plans for “national education” courses in local schools. [snip] Sunday’s protesters decried this as brainwashing. Protest placards borrowed lyrics from “Another Brick in the Wall,” a song by the British rock group Pink Floyd: “We don’t need no thought control. Leave them kids alone.” Hong Kong officials deny that the new courses - due to start in primary schools this year and secondary schools in 2013 - will mimic “patriotic education” teaching on the...

DECEMBER 2002 : (WWW PRESS CONFERENCE —See DAVID FENTON, MOVEON.ORG, ) * David Fenton & Fenton Communications, The Heinz Family Foundation, the aforementioned Open Society Institute and Moveon.org :
Win Without War first burst onto the political scene in December 2002, at an international press conference featuring leftist actor Mike Farrell. Although the organization was initiated with a letter signed by over 100 celebrities calling for an end to America’s “imperialist” wars, with the help of David Fenton, the founder of the public relations firm, Fenton Communications, and the rabidly anti-Bush Internet outfit, Moveon.org, the campaign was presented as a non-partisan patchwork of American life. But while Fenton may want Americans to see Win Without War as being “middle of the road,” the sum of its parts paints a vastly different picture.
Fenton Communications is a “socially responsible” PR firm with a penchant for backing Marxist regimes, and Win Without War boasts a number of “progressive” operatives, like the coalition’s director, Tom Andrews, and Clinton employee, Maggie Williams, who use non-profits to front for the Democratic Party line. ....————— “America’s Red Army,” Frontpage Magazine.com ^ | 9/1/04 | Jennifer Verner

You can find a "study" to support any position.

And amusingly enough, George Soros and the Heinz Foundation is behind the company that spreads all this crap about GMO crops to scare people. Here's one of the folks behind some of the anti-GMO "studies":

1989 : (ALAR SCARE PART OF FENTON COMMUNICATIONS EFFORT TO FUNNEL MONEY TO THE NRDC -- See ECONUTS, LIBERALS/LEFTISTS , FENTON, WWW) One of Fenton's most publicized achievements was his 1989 attack against the producers of Alar, a preservative used in apples that he  erroneously reported as carcinogenic. The misinformation Fenton fed to the news media triggered mass hysteria and caused the apple industry to lose over $200 million in revenue. Later, in a memo uncovered by the Wall Street Journal, Fenton bragged, "We designed [the campaign against Alar] so that revenue would flow back to the Natural Resources Defense Council from the public." The Natural Resources Defense Council was another of Fenton's primary clients.  --------This profile [of David Fenton] was adapted from the article titled "Peaceful Tomorrows, Leftists Todays," written by Thomas Ryan and published by FrontPageMagazine.com on March 17, 2004.

Do you know who David Fenton is? Do you know what Fenton Communications is?

David Fenton was a member of the Weather Underground. His firm is a company that has manufactured crisis and scares against all sorts of American industries on behalf of nutjob groups like the Sierra Club, and on behalf of liberal loon companies like Ben & Jerries ice Cream. They created the Alar Apple scare to damage the Washington Apple growers, the Pink Slime Scare which cost lots of people desperately needed jobs, the hormones in milk scare to benefit Ben & Jerry, and guess what? They also are involved in the current bull crap about Monsanto and bees.

If you haven't heard of this company and you're mouthing off about GMO crops you've got some reading to do.

For some reason raccoons hate carrots, maybe someday there will be a carrot based habanero spray. Until then only dogs work against raccoons.

There’s a natural form of “DEET” in the leaves of beautybush A/K/A buckbrush... a common small shrub that grows in the south and midwest in old fields which has clusters of soft pale pinkish flowers in early summer and clusters of hot pink or very bright BB-sized magenta berries in the fall. The berries are edible but quite bland, though turkeys seem to like them. A handful of crushed leaves rubbed onto the skin deters mosquitos.

"I’ve read where Monsanto tried to take over a farm where some of it’s seeds or something somehow got into their corn and they wanted to take his farm to protect their seeds."

No, that's not it. The story was that a farmer violated an agreement he signed with Monsanto, and Monsanto held him to it.

Does not surprise me one bit. When I read about Monsanto and its experiments, its seldom good news.

Well, if you read econut sites and books and magazines you wouldn't expect them report anything good about Monsanto, and if you read sites made by people selling heirloom seeds then they are likewise promoting a product and they often choose to do it by trashing their competition same as they accuse Monsanto of doing. As someone earlier on the thread pointed out this very thread began with an article written by a wongnut conpiracy theorist named Sorcha Faal.

Corn is particularly tampered with.

You know why corn has been the most tampered with? Because the American indians were VERY good plant breeders even if they never mastered draft animals and wheels. They developed many varieties of corn most of which people don't grow today but from which all modern corn varieties descended. And they started with a plant that didn't look much different than foxtail or wheat, that long before the first white person ever set eyes on it looked VASTLY different from its wild ancestor. So yes, corn has been "under development" longer than most things in your garden.

I read, somewhere, that an African tribe's main crop was corn. The people did not thrive and cattle were very affected by SOMETHING!

You know what they were affected by? Same thing that American indians were affected by when they shifted from hunter gatherer societies to agricultural societies ... CORN! And HEIRLOOM corn at that!

Corn is naturally deficient in certain proteins. Like almost all grain and sunflower seeds there is also little or no vitamin A. So when indians in the midwest river valleys traded and acquired corn from the southwest, they planted it in their fertile land and it grew so abundantly they thought their problems were solved - suddenly they had so much food they could STORE it, and no longer had to move from campsite to campsite when game became scarce or to follow the harvest of beech nuts and pecans. They settled down, and instead of having children in the more or less seasonal, sporadic way of hunter gatherers, they had lots and lots of children, making them more and more dependent on corn rather than meat.

But corn was deficient in proteins and vitamins so gradually, they began to suffer and it shows in the bones, each generation with more problems than the one before, most obviously in the teeth. hunter gatherers had pretty good teeth but corn growers had a lot of cavities and abcesses.

There's no way to blame this on Monsanto - it didn't exist yet. It's a NATURAL problem associated with an unnatural reliance on a single crop. So your folks in Africa whose main crop is corn just did to themselves what American indians had done hundreds and hundreds of years ago. They found a crop that produced abundantly and deliciously, were pleased, dropped a lot of the less tasty crops and foods they had previously gathered from their diet, and invested fully in producing corn, not knowing the consequences.

The Indians figured it out eventually, and resolved the problem by adding beans and squash to their diet. While each one alone is deficient, all three together- corn, squash and beans- provide a more nutritionally complete diet. The indians call them the three sisters, and grown together they complement one another : squash shades the ground and reduces weeds, corn provides support for pole beans, and beans add nitrogen to the soil which corn in particular needs. What your African tribe needed was beans and squash or additional crops that would serve the same purpose.

An investigation explored GMO seeds, removed those crops and gave untampered corn to the tribe and heritage seeds.Peoples' heath began to improve significantly and the cattle began to thrive. Their diet was very corn oriented. I call BS, as I doubt they had GMO corn to begin with, and also because it would not matter if the corn they had was GMO or heirloom. The problem never was "GMO" corn it was the simple fact that they were eating corn too exclusively, and heirloom corn would NOT provide them with complete proteins either.

The biggest problem fireflies face isn’t insecticides, it is artificial lighting.

Many plant species contain insecticides, antibacterials, and other things for their defense and were created that way by God. So it's not a "bad thing" to put the genes responsible for that into a crop so it an grow its own insecticide, fungicde, etc. That's why you can spray a solution of tobacco juice onto your plants to prevent insect infestation. Tomatoes are a member of the deadly nightshade family and their leaves contain some interesting stuff. Passion vine is toxic to some species because it contains a chemical defense. Moss contains antibacterials.

As for bees, if you really want to help bees, quit mowing your grass all the time and let the dandelions & wildflowers grow. There's no shortage of bees here, and there are more than just the European honeybees here as well- one of my biggest citrus pollinators is a native green bee. They're not for making honey but fabulous for pollination.

1989 + : (FENTON COMMUNICATIONS : DISINFORMATION, PROPAGANDA, POISONING THE INFO WELL) Since 1989, Fenton and his company, Fenton Communications, has been largely preoccupied with creating media strategies for left-wing groups, including one of his primary clients, Environmental Media Services. Its anti-biogenetic message, which claims that genetically engineered foods are dangerous to eat, has made millions of dollars for Fenton’s clients, which include such health food producers as: Whole Foods Markets, Honest Tea, Kashi Cereal, Green Mountain Coffee, and Rodale Press, a magazine publisher of periodicals concerning organic gardening and foods.
This approach has also worked for ice cream producers Ben & Jerry’s, another client of Fenton’s. Starting with a series of press conferences in the late 1990s, Environmental Media Services promoted the idea that a hormone given to dairy cows to produce milk could cause cancer, despite the fact that the FDA had shown the hormone to be safe. Ben & Jerry’s ice cream stood to gain from the bad press aimed at the dairy industry because their ice cream is made with hormone-free milk. ————This profile [of David Fenton] was adapted from the article titled “Peaceful Tomorrows, Leftists Todays,” written by Thomas Ryan and published by FrontPageMagazine.com on March 17, 2004.

Fenton was also a member of the White Panther Party (a Caucasian-led offshoot of the Black Panthers), and even did photography work for the Weathermen, the Communist/anarchist group which bombed the U.S. Capitol building, along with other prominent U.S. institutions in Washington, DC and New York City. ————— “America’s Red Army,” Frontpage Magazine.com ^ | 9/1/04 | Jennifer Verner

The campaign against GM crops is by European farmers & politicians who are afraid they cannot compete with American farmers. They prefer people in Afirca starve rather than eat American-developed GM crops or use American GM seed.

To that end it looks like they’ve hired what I call “anti-PR firms” - companies such as Fenton Communications, to run scare campaigns against companies that have developed these amazing products. Look up Fenton - a collection of far-left kooks, but very skilled propagandists.
Fenton is the same company that created the scare, on behalf of Ben & Jerry’s, against the use of hormones in Dairy cows. These anti-PR firms create biased “studies” to promote their claims and anything in a lab coat will do as a source. It is easier and more profitable to trash competitors and push for legislation to keep them down than it is to promote your own product, which is why they did it.
Fenton was also hired to go after the Washington apple producers.
Various econut groups like the Sierra Club- a HUGE industry though one that produces nothing of value- also hire Fenton to trash American businesses they deem harmful to the environment [even when they are not] or more importantly, harmful to their political cronies.

An epidemic of unexplained deaths in England’s defense industry occurred from 1982 to 1988 (totally blacked out of the “free” U.S. press). Twenty-five British computer programmers and engineers working on electronic warfare programs died in a rash of suspicious suicides, disappearances, and bizarre accidents. They were the subject of British journalist Tony Collin’s 1990 book Open Verdict: An Account of 25 Mysterious Deaths in the Defence Industry. Five of these scientists were talented computer programmers who worked for Marconi Underwater Systems (a major contractor for the Reagan Administration’s “Star Wars” Strategic Defense Initiative or SDI), or one of its subsidiaries. Many worked for the government or military installations directly. Britain’s nuclear arsenal is submarine-based. Most of the dead programmers were working on top-secret simulator programs used in underwater submarine deception warfare. “In the majority of cases, there were no eyewitnesses and the periods before their deaths could not be explained,” Collins writes (28) [”Demand government explanation of deaths, disappearance,” AP, 3/19/87; “Defence Scientists Mystery Deepens,” Financial Times (London), 4/3/87.]

That’s almost as big a whopper as the video myth Susan Rice was touting. Does Nabeel Naeem Abdul Fattah work for the US State Department?

Check this. This might explain why Director of Intel Blair was run out of his position. He told the truth and Rahm accused him of scapegoating the issue!

During a daily intelligence briefing in May 2009, Mr. Blair [former Director of Intelligence] warned the president that radicals with American and European passports were being trained in Pakistan to attack their homelands. Mr. Emanuel afterward chastised him, saying, “You’re just trying to put this on us so it’s not your fault.” Mr. Blair also skirmished with Mr. Brennan about a report on the failed airliner terrorist attack on Dec. 25. Mr. Obama later forced Mr. Blair out.

Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Sunday proposed a new bipartisan “Gang of Eight” to draft a bill to create guidelines for future investigations of media leaks by the government. “I proposed along with [Sen.] Lindsey Graham [R-S.C.], we’ll be announcing that we have four Democrats, four Republicans, another Gang of Eight,” said Schumer on CBS’s Face the Nation. “I love these gangs of eight I guess.”

SEPTEMBER 2005 : (REPORT : DEMOCRAT SENATOR CHUCK SCHUMER AIDES - ONE ASSOCIATED WITH THE GROUP "MEDIA MATTERS"- SPIED ON MD GOV MICHAEL STEELE BY IMPERSONATING HIM TO GET HIS CREDIT REPORTS, ETC ---- see ) Talk about having no agenda... Was there any other point to getting their hands on Lt. Governor Steele's credit report other than to find dirt?

Federal prosecutors are investigating whether two Democratic Party researchers in Washington illegally obtained the credit report of Maryland Lt. Gov. Michael S. Steele as they conducted opposition research on the likely Republican Senate candidate. Phil Singer, a spokesman for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, acknowledged yesterday that two of his organization's employees had resigned as a result of the episode, which he said was subsequently referred to the U.S. attorney's office by the Democratic committee. ...
The DSCC, the arm of the Democratic Party tasked with promoting Senate candidates, declined to disclose the names of the employees involved. But sources with knowledge of the episode identified them as Katie Barge, the committee's former research director, and Lauren Weiner, an employee who had been researching Steele even before he formed an exploratory committee for Senate in June.

Think the DSCC's [Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee] motives had something to do with this?

Steele has been heavily courted to run for Senate by national GOP leaders and is expected to give the party its best shot at a Senate seat in years.

The New York Post reveals that the two researchers are on Chuck Schumer's staff...

Two staffers on a Democratic political committee headed by Sen. Chuck Schumer are being investigated by the FBI for an alleged dirty trick — getting a Republican candidate's credit report illegally, officials confirmed yesterday. "We are investigating the matter jointly with the FBI," said a spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney's office in Washington. Phil Singer, a spokesman for the Schumer-headed Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, said two staffers were instantly suspended — with pay — in July after admitting they obtained the credit report of Maryland Lt. Gov. Michael Steele, who is running for Senate.

Since July? It's near the end of September, and Schumer has known all this time, and hasn't said a word? Meanwhile his staffers were awarded with a paid vacation?

UPDATE: The real irony here is the fact that Chuck Schumer has been very interested in the issue of identity theft...

A couple of days before 9/11/2001 alQaeda terrorists using Belgian passports and dressed as reporters assassinated Afghan general Shah Ahmed Massood ... Pakistan was at that time propping up the Taliban and were no doubt overjoyed since if Massood had lived to see the defeat of the Taliban, he would likely have won the presidency of Afghanistan and being a nationalist would be inclined to be friendly with India in order to preserve Afghan independence against Pakistani encroachment. India had been helping his fighters against the Taliban and he had been the US ally in the past, the General whose forces received our Stinger missiles [not al Qaeda or OBL as some claim] in the war against the USSR before the Clinton folks decided to dump him and back Pakistan-friendly Gulbuddin Hekmatyar’s forces, instead. (Clinton sure knew how to pick ‘em.) Hekmatyar sometime after 9/11 joined alQaeda against the US, surprise, surprise.

Just wait until Obama solves the education problem by arbitrarily raising - via Executive Order- every child’s grade to an A+ !

Since jihadists aren't going to stop carrying out bombings and assasinations and so on just because Obama declares an end to war, what Obama is really saying is that he has decided that a certain level of American casualties are acceptable. That's apparently what he decided in the case of Benghazi, too, that an ambassador and 30 US government employees are expendable and not worth fighting over. MPSomeone needs to ask him what his tolerable casualty number is... we know it is over 14 lives per incident because he still thinks the FT Hood massacre was just a workplace incident and he hasn't figured out what the boston bombings were.
