March Against Monsanto Laguna Beach 5.23.15

Participating in the March Against Monsanto at Laguna Beach was a privilege and an honor. Thanks to everyone for coming out and advocating for a better world.

As I mentioned in my speech, the city of Laguna Beach didn’t allow any sales “on the cobblestone,” so I donated a lot of books to march participants. Kathleen Hallal “organically” volunteered to set up donations through the work that she does at GMO Free News to help cover the cost of my trip and book donations.

Thank you, Kathleen, and thank you, Jack, for your technical expertise in setting up a Go Fund Me campaign. Donations are much appreciated. Whether you provide a cash donation or not, you can “donate” to the cause by purchasing We’re Monsanto, Book One and/or We’re Monsanto, Book Two and then writing reviews on Amazon. Reviews make or break authors. Your review will encourage others to learn more about the multiple problems associated with the biotech industry and genetically modified organisms.

Undoubtedly, the positive reviews for Book One are partially responsible for the fact that a Japanese publisher recently published and distributed my book to bookstores across Japan.

Remember as I said in my speech, glyphosate hates your guts and Monsanto hates gutsy people. Be gutsy and get your glyphosate level tested. This issue is so important to me that I personally purchased 100 urine specimen cups and passed them out both in Sitka, Alaska, and Laguna Beach, California.

The test results will be shared with Congress later this year. By testing for PCB levels, the citizens of Anniston, Alabama, used that information to help them win a judgment against Monsanto for its egregious and willful poisoning of those people. Testing for glyphosate may eventually produce similar results against Monsanto for its egregious and ongoing poisoning of the world with RoundUp. Go to FeedTheWorld.info and learn how to test yourself for glyphosate.

P.S. Following are a few of the thoughts from my speech.

20150523_115544

Scientists who are willing to sacrifice their own humanity in the name of science, are far too willing to sacrifice the rest of humanity as well.

20150523_115541

The foundation of the Temple of science is cracking and crumbling and the priests who officiate in the Temple of science are not prophets or seers, they are toddlers with little understanding and callous disregard to the consequences of their action. And as head thinkers, they are cut off from the more important parts of what it means to be human, members of the human family, and members of the web of life. They are blind, disabled, and handicapped; unable to see what is painfully evident and obvious to the rest of the world.

20150523_115539

As complete human beings, we experience truth with our minds, our hearts, our souls, and with an understanding that we are members of the web of life, not masters or creators of the web. As complete human beings, we can ask and answer the questions that corporate scientists and politicians refuse to address.

“The aggregate frauds that have been perpetrated on behalf of genetically engineered foods constitute by far the biggest fraud in the history of science.” — Steven Druker, author Altered Genes, Twisted Truth

“I well remember how horrified I felt when I learned that scientists had succeeded in reconfiguring the genetics of plants and animals. . . . It seemed a shocking corruption of the life forms of the planet.” – Dr. Jane Goodall

20150523_115533

“The right to search for truth implies also a duty; one must not conceal any part of what one has recognized to be true.” – Albert Einstein

20150523_115531

We do a disservice to organic and non-GMO farmers when we say that GMOs should be banned until proven safe. They’re not safe. That fact was proven the first time genetically modified pollen contaminated a natural plant. And that’s just the start.

20150523_115503

Is it safe that GMOs have virtually destroyed India’s conventional cotton and Canada’s conventional canola and is in the process of destroying Mexico’s corn?

20150523_115459

Is it safe that agribusiness and GMOs have resulted in a loss of 93% of agricultural biodiversity in the past 80 years?

20150523_115457

Is it safe that chemical intensive GMO monocultures are destroying soil biodiversity?

20150523_115453

Is it safe that chemical intensive GMO monocultures are leading toward the extinction of birds species, bees, and butterflies?

20150523_115451

Is it safe that Monsanto and gang threaten, intimidate and silence scientists who are critical of GMOs?

20150523_115449

If it safe that Monsanto regulates Regulatory agencies including the USDA and FDA?

20150523_115447

Is it safe that Monsanto and gang buy presidents and bribe politicians?

20150523_115443

Is it safe that Monsanto is currently working to making seed saving illegal?

20150523_115440

Is it safe that one of the most hated corporations in the history of the world exercises control over governments, trade policy, and the global food supply?

20150523_115439

Is it safe that large-scale GMO based agriculture has driven thousands of family farmers from their land to urban ghettos?

20150523_115436

Is it safe that thousands upon thousands of Indian GMO farmers committed suicide to escape from debt?

20150523_115435

Is it safe that GMOs have decimated the value of US agriculture?

20150523_115433

Is it safe that Monsanto and gang spend millions to keep GMOs unlabeled?

20150523_115431

Is it safe that chemical companies refuse to disclose the contents of the chemical cocktails they spray around Hawaiian schools and neighborhoods?

20150523_115429

Is it safe that the TPP and TTIP will make it illegal to label GMOs and to ban Roundup?

20150523_115426

Following is the conclusion of my book We’re Monsanto: Still Feeding the World, Lie After Lie, Book Two:

20150523_115424

Revolution and freedom are the unlikely children of oppression and tyranny. Earth’s children will one day rise up and free themselves from oppressive governments and from corporate entities such as Monsanto. On that day Monsanto will cease to exist. And on that day freedom-cherishing Americans will reclaim their country and their liberty.

20150523_115419

But long after Monsanto is dead, the seeds of the biotech industry—the seeds of deception, the seeds of destruction, the seeds of death, and the seeds of suicide—will continue to grow, spread, infest, infect, and contaminate the DNA of the world and quite possibly contaminate the DNA of our posterity.

20150523_115413

For that reason alone, as well as dozens of other equally compelling reasons, the revolution against the corruption of nature, business, and government must be swift, sure, and where possible, complete.

20150523_115408

Success is not optional and failure is not an option.

20150523_115359

May the seeds of the revolution we plant today fill the Earth with love, compassion, health, liberty, peace, biodiversity, and a world filled with free and natural seeds of every kind.

Letters From Eden

Several newspapers have interviewed us over the past few months. Some time ago, I received an email from a woman who had read one of the articles. She gave me permission to share her initial and subsequent email messages, but asked that I change identifying information for her family sake. In accordance with her wishes, I’ll refer to this woman as Eve from Eden. Thank you, Eve, for communicating with me and for doing your part to alert others to the dangers associated with GMOs.

20140610_115136_Richtone(HDR)

Letter #1:
I read the article about your family in our local newspaper. I wish I’d known you were here and could have met you. I totally resonate with EVERYTHING you say about GMO’s, Monsanto, DuPont, Roundup, etc. I have been the voice calling out in the wilderness here…..Eden’s farmers are GMO all the way! So much so that when I’ve posted things on FB about GMOs there were veiled threats made against me to my husband….”You’d better shut her up!”

20140604_131025_Richtone(HDR)

I’m sure I know a fraction of what you do….it would have been great to listen to your opinions and just be in the presence of SANE people who understand that imbedding and spraying our food with deadly chemicals is sheer insanity.

20140616_134334_Richtone(HDR)

There’s a very high incidence of cancer around here. People don’t seem to draw the correlation between that and the chemicals in their foods. Some people even drink water out of cisterns filled with runoff! They’ve told me it tastes fine…… lololol ……. well, ok then!!! With that scientific data to back them up, go right ahead! Count our family OUT of that.

We will be praying for you. I think it’s wonderful the commitment and closeness you have as a family. I can imagine you and your son have AWESOME conversations while walking the highways and byways!

God bless and keep you,
Eve

Letter #2:
My husband and I aren’t from Eden, so will always be outsiders. It’s the way they are here.

You may or may not know that many farmers are also seed dealers, so their loyalties to these pesticide companies run deep. They also think Roundup is the safest thing out there. The irony is that it was a farmer’s wife who first alerted me to the dangers of GMOs. She private messaged me on FB and told me she couldn’t speak out, but that she doesn’t serve her family ANYTHING GMO!!! She said her husband makes his living off of GMOs, so she’s stuck. Another farmer friend told me their seed bill per year is $900,000.00….. I kid you not! The seed dealers are making quite a killing….oh….pun!

20140531_140457_Richtone(HDR)

When I was posting GMO stuff fast and furious I had many people tell me they’d never heard that term before. They started looking into it and found it alarming …. but not alarming enough to probably do anything about it! The bottom line is that in the U.S. the almighty dollar is king, and if you mess with anyone’s dollars, you’re their mortal enemy.

20140531_130409_Richtone(HDR)

I appreciate what you’re doing for all of us …. whether we all appreciate it or not. Information is crucial, and so many people have no idea what’s going on or what they’re eating! Hence the long line at McDonald’s!!!

God bless you,
Eve
