  This one is for the GMO haters out there:

  It appears that the reason we don’t hear much about the effects of eating GM foods is that the GM corps forbid–in end-user contracts–research to be conducted on their seeds. I didn’t know they could do that!

  Depopulation? Nothing new here. This shit’s been going on for ages.

  Stacy turned me on recently – play on words – to a very cool PBS documentary called “The West”, and I’m currently watching the 5th of the 8 shows in the series. (Thanks Stacy! I love this documentary.)

  The topic of episode 5 is the buffalo – or specifically what happened to the buffalo. Beautiful, beautiful animal it was. Extremely successful and plentiful, while it lasted. To make a long story short, the white men ravaged them, slaughtered them and brutally trounced the population down to almost nothing.

  Check this out from Wiki:

  “Bison were hunted almost to extinction in the 19th century and were reduced to a few hundred by the mid-1880s.”

  “The current American Bison population has been growing rapidly and is estimated at 350,000, compared to an estimated 60 to 100 million in the mid-19th century.”

  You read that right: 60 to 100 million in the mid-19th century! Most people aren’t aware of just how huge and majestic those herds were.

  But they were easily taken out. Apparently all you had to do was just kill the leader of the herd, then simply walk around shooting the rest of the herd who were innocently standing around their leader’s corpse, not knowing what to do.

  If we’re not careful, the same thing’s gonna happen to us.

  @Max and Stacy

  Better not pretend you are doing a podcast, as that technology is now patented.. http://tinyurl.com/p5o2l8

  I’m going to patent farting, is there prior art ?

  Also in line with the fecal matter discussion, maybe some people will benefit from a fecal matter transplant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSkb8HNImzc

  Interesting statistic. Nothern english people have twice as much fecal matter on their hands as southern enlish people..

  @Joe – glad you like The West; it’s hard watching some parts of it but gives a load of info about which I had no idea; re: the bison / leader thing . . . they are a lot like elephants which are also matriarchal and follow the matriarch; if the matriarch elephant is injured, all the other females will similarly stop and gather around her

  Here we go again.
  The heavy activity (GS, etc) drawing pension funds back into the stock markets.
  Oh dear.
  How long has it been?
  I’ve heard of short memories but this is ridiculous.

  @sharon – @Don has made it to Belize! He apparently arrived last week; said he may not be logged back on though for quite awhile . . .

  re: CAF’s piece on “depopulation” – - if you look at history of black plague, there is no way the powerful would want that to happen; they lost a huge amount of power and had to share their wealth after the black plague because so many peasants had died that there were too few to help out the aristocracy and also many of the surviving peasants inherited property of their dead siblings

  @ Nic Abbott

  Thanks for the stirring video:
  Brilliant Woman Solves All of California’s Problems
  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yxe_kwc8klw&feature=PlayList&p=6AA37F766A6C4768&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=51

  Viewers comments about the speech are mostly negative, so here’s an attempt to translate the speaker’s Californese:

  Fellow Californians,

  Our crops flourish, regardless of whether they are grown organically or with pesticides.
  Thus, the wisest course is to phase out toxic agrochemicals and replace them with harmless substitutes that control pests and prolong shelf life.
  While “food” is essential, we should try to make that “organic food”.

  Commercial property rents downtown are strangling small businesses. This district has proved its capacity to be self-sufficient, boasting residents with extraordinary expertise who at this very moment possess adequate stock to meet our needs. We are fully capable of being a community in the real sense of the word, making our own products and selling them in our own stores. After all, we are Californians, we can work it out.
  We are rich in natural resources, so can clothe ourselves with our local textiles and set up plants to produce vehicles using minerals from our own mines. We can get the machinery we need for manufacturing. We can have a vibrant community, a viable city, a San Francisco with a future.

  The East Coast has no qualms about exploiting slave labor, as testified by its reliance on imports from China. Here on the West Coast, we are anti-slavery and pro-union. That is what we are. Now, an admirable aspect of the Bush Administration is its funding for small business owners, which has obvious implications for those who would be free.

  We sometimes forget that food is as natural as trees and shrubs, that we can grow anything our hearts desire. It’s just not that complicated. And when we have more than we can eat, we can preserve any surplus, such as by freezing.

  We are people, California is our home. We should be able to grow our own food and not have to depend on outside sources. All we should have to do is pay the farmers. We should not have to pay for the use of our land. Land is free. This is a new land, our home. This is where we live. The land is ours to use. We should not be treated as serfs, forced to pay rent to feudal lords. We should be free to grow our own food on our own land and sell it at the farmers’ market.

  @stacy
  did not read CAF’s piece on “depopulation” but maybe they couldn’t at the time create/control the black plague.
  things are very different now. when you have time take a look at endgame if you haven’t seen it already. I’d like to know what you think of it.

  As always, thanks for bravura performances from both Max and his better half. As a state employee, I never could get the logic of investing in your oppressors, which is what our pension funds in New York have done to get their “mandated” high returns. Matt Taibbi has tried to say that the pension funds operators were suckered by the ratings agencies and the money managers, but that’s a crock – you chase high profits, you become corrupt and sleazy, subsidizing the very job-cutting predators you claim to abhor. The problem remains that the supersystem is so stuffed with profit-maximizing incentives at every corner, the only “socially responsible investing” that remains after you de-Google and de-greenwash your filthy investments or filthy pension fund excess is: Nihilism, Inc.

  @francis snoot: Not certain which “link” you are referring to….Two of my children were born in HI….1976 and 1979….the Bureau of Vital Statistics was very efficient…and yes there is also a Certificate of Live Birth, issued by the hospital, which is different…yet if I recall in those years they sent out a laminated credit card or driver’s license sized version of the birth certificate ( from the health department which records the birth for the state)….Don’t know what they did in the years before they became a state( pre-1959) or when Obama was born.
  I too wonder if this “controversy” is an attempt to gain steam for a left/right duality so that the Repubs have an issue to come before the media with( Roland whatever his name is…was really steamed on the Lou Dobbs CNN show that this is a non-issue) …clearly nothing of great importance differs them from the tragedy we call Congress and the Dems point of view…We all know Congress’ ratings are in the low double digits…What really amazed me was that the FED ratings were lower than the IRS…everyone knows and hates the IRS, but very few have a clue who and what the FED is!!!!!!!! Now that is quite an accomplishment.
  Listened to Catherine Austin Fitts on the Jeff Rense program…looking forward to her new book on “solutions”…her discussion about using silver/gold coins as a daily means of payment was right on…She is even designing a calculator that will be available as an plugin for a cell phone….which gives the real time calculation for dollars to silver/gold value….
  Will Larouche strike a cord?? Will he call for a bank holiday this fall?? the suspense is deafening!!! I’m not an accountant but even I realize that the books ( see USAIOU) are tilted to an unsustainable amount in arrears….With all the tax loopholes designed for the wealthy…and a shrinking middle class…and unemployment and underemployment gaining speed, who do they propose is going to pay the taxes??? The $256 billion in treasury auctions this week if filled is just the beginning of a long series of auctions in that amount yet to come…the gold/silver market manipulation to keep the price below $1000.00 will go on indefinitely as long as they need the cover that funds are not running away from the fiat currency to prevent further dollar devaluation…And as Catherine ( and I might add so have I) said with $14 trillion sloshing about in the banks pumping the various global markets, the appearance that an economy is recovering can be propped up for some time to come…and since that fund probably is financing all the world’s governments and their elections well into the future the appearance that all is well, and there is a loyal opposition( teh forces at play will be those who suggest we “work within the system” to change it versus those who will either call for violence or those who will drop out in a way that C.A.Fitts suggested in last night’s interview), will also give the appearance that the public’s right to vote is intact…even though we have lived through here in the states and as my British friends tell me as well with Gordon Brown that the recent two or three election cycles have been rigged…and with the MSM playing along for the ratings and the advert money …well…life will go on while a seething populous steadily ferments under the surface…and the military and police are steadily preparing for conflict…once more draconion measures will be enforced..it’s inevitable…just look back at both the footage from both Dem and Repub conventions here( 2008) even Goodman was arrested and she wore a convention pass!!

  @Richard@Latitude30N:

  The law is HRS 338-17, amendments to statures for public records. Onaka (I spelled his name wrong before) is now above the legal documents as far as verification: if he says it is on file that is enough. The law paves the way for undocumented illegals to become US citizens: all through e-verify. Nicely tied up legally.

  Both sides of the media are ignoring the law and so is Gibbs who blithely babbles about the issue going away. Being born in America won’t relate to citizenship after US bankruptcy, IMHO.

  Here’s the link to the new law:
  http://www.capitol.hawaii.gov/site1/hrs/searchhrs.asp?query=HRS+338&currpage=1

  http://www.capitol.hawaii.gov/hrscurrent/Vol06_Ch0321-0344/HRS0338/HRS_0338-0013.htm

  This is how we pinpoint the media hoopla! Perhaps the uproar over future citizenship in US (or whatever the region is called) would be greater than the birther controversy, so the media is mum, or the media is deliberately stirring up division.

  At issue is the constitution vs. loosely regulated trade regions *what the elite want. Should be a nasty fight.

  @francis snoot: frankly the controversy doesn’t interest me nearly as much as the apparent YES WE CAN…enslave you faster than Bush….mentality that eminates from the WH….we are seeing a shill, and it does not bother me in the least that he is African, or Indonesian or Hawaiin…or that his mother married a man from Kenya who really is mostly Arabic( or a Muslim)….what his handlers are preparing for us is what concerns me….if Bush/Cheney was the idiotic sevant “bad cop” then for certain Obama/Biden are the good cop routine…and that scares me the most….I guess AJ is right it’s a war for your mind….yes mind control is what really worries me…and this WH has the top perpetrators in the mix…

  @Richard@Latitude30N:
  Agreed. I am glad we had a African-American president.
  Reality is striated, multi-dimensional. The WH is lifting one layer and calling this strata “truth” and labelling the other layers as “extremist danger dogma”. spooky.
