Concealed Weapons Against the Environment

Hat Tip  PEW

House Republicans embarked last week on a broad assault on the nation’s environmental laws, using as their weapon the 2012 spending bill for the Interior Department and the Environmental Protection Agency. When debate began Monday, the bill included an astonishing 39 anti-environmental riders — so called because they ride along on appropriations bills even though they have nothing to do with spending and are designed to change policy, in this case disastrously.

ALEC Exposed: Warming Up to Climate Change

polluting industries and the politicians that serve them want to convince you that excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is actually a good thing.

( which should go to show that co2 rise is too weak a hook to act on - at the same time that an international tax on the use of fire is too strong; especially as an enticement to fraud and globalization )

Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Cooking for Solutions, which those who attend say is spectacular, has a new sponsor this year: Kellogg Garden Products. Yes, that Kellogg Garden Products. The very same company that has contaminated “organic” school gardens in Los Angeles with sewage sludge. The company’s Chief Sustainability Officer, Kathy Kellogg Johnson, has a knack for befriending “green” organizations and using them to promote her toxic, misleadingly labeled products to unsuspecting gardeners. In this case, she’s listed as a “Silver Sponsor.” How much did her company pay to give her such a nice platform, sitting on a panel with Grist’s sustainable food writer Tom Philpott and telling an all-media audience about the sustainability of Kellogg Garden Products

Louisiana 'Eat Safe' program goes online Monday

Matthew Sigur of the Alexandria Louisiana Towntalk and I spoke a few weeks ago about the article “Louisiana to post results of restaurant inspections,” that goes live Monday, along with online inspections.

 ( Think that will be more credible than 'disappeared' oil and Corexit in the Gulf ? The problem is more complex than 'bad sanitation practices'. 

They can 'inspect' product until they are blue in the face - and wrong design parameters will continue to make a mockery of a 'system'  designed to poison its way to health. Right from Square One, industrial sponsored laws work against organic and natural practices to give large operations market monopoly. Fear of germs is the meme used to excuse lack of nutrition while generating whole new kinds of challenges to immune response inhibited people.
It's a 'two- fer.'

*Chemtrail Health Effects on Humans and Environment

*This is fairly new to me - and the title is liable to scare many off. Yet it is more comprehensive an overview than anything else I have yet to see. Dr. John v. Kampen was 'stunned' that he hadn't heard of the speaker.

 
It's hard to understand how absolutely wrong headed our perceptions are - 'educated' to ignorance.
