THE WATCHERS -- PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
THE PROBLEM - Politicians and Sewage Experts
“Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or
by imbeciles who really mean it.” - Mark Twain
Help for Sewage Victims requests that you please sign the petition to ban sewage sludge as a
fertilizer on cropland, parks, school grounds, home lawns and gardens. CDC's 2005 list of the 15
leading causes of death indicates the pollutants in sewage could have had a significant impact
on the cause of deaths.

"Whats Wrong With Our Food ... The Inconvenient Truths"
Monday, August 10, 2009Open letter to Galen G Weston and Loblaws -- CFIA Warns US Feces Fed Beef Beef May Sicken Consumers -- Please Stop Selling US Beef!
US beef is often fed Poultry feces (manure) as a means for producers to lower their production costs and as a convenient method of disposing of this toxic waste product.
...........................
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA), who I am sure that you are aware of, and that you surely respect, has warned in their Feed Policy Doc. of pathogenic microbial contamination and chemical contaminants such as heavy metals ( eg; Arsenic from the roxarsone in feed) and pesticides...................
It is also of interest to note that one of the primary sources of Listeria is in the feces of animals (poultry)
“It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it.” by Upton Sinclair
ps -- I have searched in vain for an email address that I could send this letter to you at, BUT alas I have been totally unsuccessful so I will post it here and hope that you, or someone who knows how to get this to you, finds it.

Open Letter to Michael McCain and Maple Leaf Foods
"I just heard your One-n-One interview with Peter Mansbridge, and you are impressive. For “business” to admit culpability in an incident like your company experienced is unprecedented, in my view. Particularly when the customary approach is to deny, deny, deny!"I was particularly interested in your statements that you are doing everything possible to ensure the safety of the food you
are selling to consumers. How can this be when, if my info is correct, you are using US feces fed beef to manufacture your processed meats?Friday, July 31, 2009

A Deadly Ingredient in a Chicken Dinner
By Douglas GanslerFrom http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/06/25/AR2009062503381.html
Most people don't know that the chicken they eat is laced with arsenic. The ice water or coffee they enjoy with their chicken may also be infused with arsenic. If they live on or near a farm, the air they breathe may be infected with arsenic dust as well.
Why do our chicken, our water and our air contain arsenic? Because in the United States, most major poultry producers add an arsenic compound known as roxarsone to their chicken feed. Inorganic arsenic is a Class A carcinogen that has been linked to heart disease, diabetes and declines in brain function. Recent scientific findings show that most Americans are routinely exposed to between three and 11 times the Environmental Protection Agency's recommended safety limit.

Swine Flu: Influenza A (H1N1) and Arsenic in Animal Feeds "The Smoking Gun"
What We Do Know Can Hurt Us -- "The ability to mount an immune response to influenza A (H1N1) infection is significantly compromised by a low level of arsenic exposure." This statement was made WRT when a "normal person or mouse is infected with the flu". I would suggest that this is equally true when a pig, chicken or turkey is infected with the flu. You and I know that Millions of pounds of arsenic is fed to poultry and pigs at the CAFOs of the world (and someone asks - Why is the pigs and chickens immune system compromised to the point that these viruses are allowed to overwhelm it and mutate???)Fairs limit people contact to protect pigs from swine flu
State and county fairs in North Carolina and Virginia aren't taking any chances.
Each will limit people-to-piggy contact.
The H1N1 pandemic - the swine flu - fanned the worry.
"The concern is the fairgoers will give it to the pigs," said North Carolina State Veterinarian David Marshall.

Insurrection Debated
Insurrection or revolution?- Micah White - 28 Jul 2009
A debate whose outcome may have profound significance for activism is simmering at the edges of the Left. What makes this a squabble worth attending to is that both sides seem equally matched: their theorists are brilliant, their proponents are passionate and their networks are distributed. And at the center of the debate is a question of vital importance: insurrection or revolution.
Insurrectionary anarchism is rarely talked about because it pushes the boundaries of political good taste. The few authors who do openly promote the movement are often jailed. In 1977, for example, Alfredo M. Bonanno was imprisoned for 18 months in Italy for writing Armed Joy. Thus insurrectionary anarchism has traditionally been pushed to the margins of political debate and ignored … until now.
Most of us are aware of the revolutionary model that relies on a mass movement of disaffected people storming the gates of power and seizing control in an organized manner. This revolutionary model exists in opposition to the chaotic, spontaneous and violent impulse underlying insurrectionary anarchism. And usually, the debate is over before it begins and revolutionary praxis wins by default.
But with the publication of The Coming Insurrection and the arrest of the alleged author of the text insurrectionary anarchism is picking up a readership. Some 27,000 copies have been sold in France and more are being purchased every day through Amazon in the States. It has even inspired additional tracts such as Preoccupied: The Logic of Occupation. With insurrectionary anarchism finally reaching a wide audience, a debate among radical political theorists was inevitable.
The Parable of Seneca
- The solution to living a simple life is to neither fully reject nor fully accept society.
- Seneca believed that living a moral life did not consist of rejecting the world, but of doing away with the fear that motivates our frenetic consumption: the fear of poverty. In a letter every culture jammer should read On Festivals and Fasting, Seneca counsels a friend that the path to inner peace is to adopt a ritual of practiced poverty: "appoint certain days on which to give up everything and make yourself at home with next to nothing. Start cultivating a relationship with poverty. For no one is worthy of god unless he has paid no heed to riches. I am not, mind you, against your possessing them, but I want to ensure that you possess them without tremors; and this you will only achieve in one way, by convincing yourself that you can live a happy life even without them, and by always regarding them as being on the point of vanishing".

Watch for Falling Meteors
By John TierneyEngineer the Climate?
John TierneyIn my Findings column, I note the growing support for research into climate engineering, even among scientists who are skeptical that it will work. Although some people remain opposed — and warn that talk of climate modification is a dangerous distraction from cutting emissions — others say that we need to at least consider back-up plans if political leaders fail to limit carbon emissions, or if global warming accelerates unexpectedly in the near future. On Friday the Copenhagen Consensus Center released the first of several reports it commissioned to answer this question: If the global community were to spend $250 billion over the next decade to diminish the adverse effects of climate change, what would be the best way to spend the money?

Synthetic Life
By John MarkoffThere is a growing consensus (at least in Silicon Valley) that the information age is about to give way to the era of synthetic genetics. That was underscored recently when Harvard geneticist George Church and J. Craig Venter — of the race to decode the human genome fame — gave lectures before a small group of scientists, technologists, entrepreneurs, and writers in West Hollywood. Read more…
July 31, 2009, 1:36 pm Dangerous Cows
By Denise GradyThe image of cows as placid, gentle creatures is a city slicker’s fantasy, judging from an article published on Friday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which reports that about 20 people a year are killed by cows in the United States. In some cases, the cows actually attack humans—ramming them, knocking them down, goring them, trampling them and kicking them in the head—resulting in fatal injuries to the head and chest. Read more…
