And Biden just picked "Mr. Monsanto" to run the Department of Agriculture
Did you honestly think that allowing fraudulent elections would have no consequences?
https://returntonow.net/2020/12/29/biden...-the-usda/
Quote:“No More Malarkey” Joe Biden just nominated one of Monsanto’s best friends to head the US Department of Agriculture.
During his eight years under Obama, Tom Vilsack earned the nickname “Mr. Monsanto” for approving more new genetically modified organisms than any Agriculture Secretary in history, and for making gobs of money for every approval.
The Organic Consumer’s Association has compiled a list of GMOs we have to thank him for:
• Roundup Ready sugar beets. A judge ruled Monsanto’s sugar beets would inevitably contaminate other crops, eventually “eliminating a consumer’s choice to eat non-genetically engineered food.”
• Roundup Ready alfalfa. Monsanto’s first genetically modified perennial went wild, costing alfalfa growers millions.
• Monsanto’s DroughtGard corn. The GMO seeds actually ended up yielding 11% LESS corn than conventional corn during the 2012 drought.
• Dicamba-tolerant Xtend soy and cotton. Several states have banned Monsanto’s dicamba herbicide since its approval in 2015, after it drifted and destroyed millions of acres of conventional soy, as well as nurseries, vineyards, vegetables, trees and native plants.
• Roundup Ready lawn grass. Vilsack told the Scotts Miracle-Gro it didn’t need permits to sell genetically engineered grass commercially.
• Agrisure corn. Vilsack allowed Syngenta to sell corn seed with genetically engineered traits that were illegal in China to U.S. farmers. The corn crop was rejected by the markets, costing farmers $1.5 billion.
• Ethanol-only corn. Unsuitable for human or animal consumption, Syngenta’s ethanol corn has the potential to destroy the genome of edible corn where cross contamination occurs.
• 2,4-D-tolerant corn, cotton and soy. A known endocrine disruptor, Dow’s 2,4-D is linked to cancer, thyroid disorders, decreased fertility and birth defects. Vilsack’s approval of the crops increased the use of 2,4-D as much as 600%.
• Innate potatoes. The former Monsanto scientist who invented this “RNA interference” GMO exposed the dangers of his work four years after Vilsack approved it. He found an accumulation of toxins in the potatoes, and even scarier, he found their double-stranded RNA enters the human bloodstream, where it can influence our own cell function.
• Arctic Apples. These ever-green apples don’t turn brown when they bruise or start to rot, and even retain their bright green pigment when they are juiced. These GMOs were also created using RNA interference technology.
• Cloned animals. When Vilsack was asked in 2010 if cloned cows or their offspring had made it into the North American food supply, he claimed he “didn’t know”. Needless to say, this aroused alarm. While Europe responded with an embargo, Vilsack left the door open for cloned animal products to be labeled “USDA Organic.”
“It is very likely that the offspring of cloned animals are now being used to produce organic milk and other food,” the Organic Consumer’s Association says.
• Synbio dairy substitutes. Vilsack allowed companies like Perfect Day to begin using genetically-altered yeast cultures to manufacture synthetic dairy substitutes. Most vegans have no idea their non-dairy cheese is a product genetic engineering.
• Lab-made meat. Vilsack gave companies like Memphis Meat the green light to engineer cell-cultured meat without requiring USDA inspection or labeling. A former USDA staffer of his ended up lobbying for the company.

RE: And Biden just picked "Mr. Monsanto" to run the Department of Agriculture
Study the Great Reset and stop being surprised. When News comes, developments unfold... picks are made, changes instilled, promises made and broken... One wont be surprised one bit. What happened at the Capitol, it is no surprise at all but more conformation of the unfolding of The Great Reset being imposed by Globalists and their development of Chinas Belt and Road Initiative as the model for Global Governance. It truly is, that easy to figure out the answers to much of todays wild and crazy events. Like having an open book test with a cheat sheet.
For example, "Inflation" is the next big economic news used as a vehicle to more change... it's been their topic building steam for a week now. News will be pumped out about it... like clock work.

All of this political theatre has served as a distraction, especially since the first impeachment which was also in January.

RE: And Biden just picked "Mr. Monsanto" to run the Department of Agriculture
Whether it's Biden or Trump, not much will be allowed to change.
What President Biden Won’t Touch
Foreign Policy, Sacred Cows, and the U.S. Military
By Danny Sjursen, November 22, 2020
In this mystifying moment, the post-electoral sentiments of most Americans can be summed up either as “Ding dong! The witch is dead!” or “We got robbed!” Both are problematic, not because the two candidates were intellectually indistinguishable or ethically equivalent, but because each jingle is laden with a dubious assumption: that President Donald Trump’s demise would provide either decisive deliverance or prove an utter disaster.
While there were indeed areas where his ability to cause disastrous harm lent truth to such a belief — race relations, climate change, and the courts come to mind — in others, it was distinctly (to use a dangerous phrase) overkill. Nowhere was that more true than with America’s expeditionary version of militarism, its forever wars of this century, and the venal system that continues to feed it... https://tomdispatch.com/what-president-b...ouch/#more

That's why they need to list their appointees before we vote in the primaries.

The usual suspects.
One Third of Biden's Pentagon Transition Team Hails From Organizations Financed by the Weapons Industry
The president-elect is drawing from hawkish think tanks funded by arms companies.
Sarah Lazare November 11, 2020
In July 2019, while campaigning for the Democratic nomination for president, Joe Biden declared in a foreign policy speech, “It’s past time to end the Forever Wars, which have cost us untold blood and treasure.” But the president-elect — who as vice president oversaw wars in Yemen, Libya, Afghanistan and more — is already embracing personnel with strong ties to the military apparatus driving this endless combat.
On November 10, Biden announced his agency review teams, which he says “are responsible for understanding the operations of each agency, ensuring a smooth transfer of power, and preparing for President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect Harris and their cabinet to hit the ground running on Day One.”
Of the 23 people who comprise the Department of Defense agency review team, eight of them — or just over a third — list their “most recent employment” as organizations, think tanks or companies that either directly receive money from the weapons industry, or are part of this industry. These figures may be an undercount, as In These Times was not immediately able to exhaustively source the funding of every employer... https://inthesetimes.com/article/joe-bid...y-military
Biden’s transition team is filled with war profiteers, Beltway chickenhawks, and corporate consultants
Kevin Gosztola·November 14, 2020
A glance at the Biden-Harris agency review teams should provide a rude awakening to anyone who believed a Biden administration could be “pushed to the left.”
An eye-popping array of corporate consultants, war profiteers, and national security hawks have been appointed by President-elect Joe Biden to agency review teams that will set the agenda for his administration. A substantial percentage of them worked in the United States government when Barack Obama was president.
The appointments should provide a rude awakening to anyone who believed a Biden administration could be pressured to move in a progressive direction, especially on foreign policy.
If the agency teams are any indication, Biden will be firmly insulated from any pressure to depart from the neoliberal status quo, which the former vice president has pledged to restore. Instead, he is likely to be pushed in an opposite direction, towards an interventionist foreign policy dictated by elite Beltway interests and consumed by Cold War fever... https://thegrayzone.com/2020/11/14/biden...nsultants/

RE: And Biden just picked "Mr. Monsanto" to run the Department of Agriculture
Trump will be worse in hindsight on this issue.
Trump issued the GMO Executive Order, and put a Monstanto exec in charge of FIsh & Wildlife. He also allowed toxic farming with pesticides inside our wildlife refuges.
This news on Vilsack is old. Vilsack is a midwestern Democrat, not a corporate executive or lobbyist.
Let's just see what happens... but the Biden Adm is widely expected to be leaps and bounds more healthy for individuals and nature than Trump was.

RE: And Biden just picked "Mr. Monsanto" to run the Department of Agriculture
At some point, you have to acknowledge that politicians are not on your side, regardless of where they sit on the spectrum.
For as long as the current faux democracy allows for shifting vast sums of money from public spending to crony contractor pockets and "black project" slush accounts, you will always be little more than a barcode to whoever's in the seat, left or right.
