Boobus Americanus

July 12, 2008 · 2 Comments

Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear.

-Harry S. Truman

This week the traitors in Washington, also known as the U.S. Senate, sold out the Constitution again. Cowed by NeoCon scare tactics, with their pockets stuffed with wads of cash bribes campaign contributions from SPRINT, VERIZON and AT&T, the Senate passed FISA legislation undermining your Fourth Amendment right not to be subject to unwarranted search and/or seizure.

This is not a “compromise,” as some in Congress would have us believe. The only things they compromised are your personal privacy and your freedom.

(Check out the Billboard Liberation Front!)

The FISA Amendments Act allows for mass, untargeted and warrantless surveillance of all communications coming into and out of the United States. As an extra-special kick in the shorts, it hands immunity to telecommunication companies for their role in domestic spying. This means YOUR phone calls can be tapped and emails read for practically no reason at all, and there’s no chance to learn how the telecoms invaded your privacy after the fact.

Mark my words: Warrantless wiretapping is ALREADY being used to stifle dissent, blackmail politicians and destroy careers for partisan political purposes. And if you don’t think they’re reading your emails, and creating a comprehensive profile on you based upon what you write about yourself on your MySpace and Facebook pages, and especially your Plaxo profile, you have another thing coming. Are you a “Peace Mom?” Ever been to an anti-war or anti-globalization rally? There is an FBI case file on you.

In the days leading up to the House and Senate votes on the FISA bill the howling from American patriots and civil rights activists was louder than it had been in years. The Senators’ phones were ringing off the hook. Unfortunately, it was too late: The American public, Boobus Americanus, has remained parked on it’s sofa, remote in one hand and a soda in the other, for SO LONG, that once it occurred to the public that they were being spied upon Soviet-style it was too late to do anything about it. Congress had already been bought off by a bunch of paranoid, control freak plutocrats OVER A PERIOD OF DECADES, chipping away at the Constitution bit by little bit with laws and Executive Orders. Regardless, Boobus Americanus either stayed home on voting day or kept on electing it’s congresscritters over and over and over again.

Conservatives especially HATE the ACLU, turning the acronym into a synonym for traitor. What an asinine reversal. Sure the ACLU chooses some weird cases to fight, but they’re fighting on Constitutional principle, and they are doing it for YOUR SAKE. You snooze, you lose, folks. So NOW you care?

If this bugs you the way it bugs me, consider becoming an ACLU monthly donor, and stand up for your rights.This is why the ACLU challenged this unconstitutional law the moment President Bush signed it. If you’re a so-called “conservative” who EVER dissed the ACLU without understanding what it was all about, consider DOUBLING your donation as penance for being an IDIOT.

Boobus Americanus

(by Ed Griffin)

It’s more than mortal man can bear.

Those terrorists are everywhere:

on land and sea and in the air.

Network TV bill of fare

daily warns us to prepare

for bugs and bombs and poison air

and other things enough to scare

the bravest man to deep despair.

They hate our liberty, or so we’re told,

our way of life so uncontrolled,

our rich, our poor, our young, our old.

I guess their hatred just takes hold

and burrows in and makes them bold

enough to kill and die and spend their gold

and set in motion plans untold

to get us ALL . . . or so we’re told.

Seems strange to me they don’t resent

the other guys who represent

a way of life with free consent

or those who are benevolent.

The only ones they seem intent

to devastate to great extent

are those who’s aero-planes were sent

to bomb their homes with such torment.

Never mind, the war will stay.

We’re going to fight this all the way.

But there’s a price we have to pay

to keep the enemy at bay.

Let our leaders take away

our lives and liberty TODAY,

and then our fears will go away

that they’ll be lost some future day.

My phone is tapped. My mail is read.

They know the thoughts inside my head.

The money I deposited

is now reported to the Fed.

They chip my hand, dispense my bread.

I think they watch me go to bed.

I don’t object. I’m glad instead

to be controlled until I’m dead.

CHORUS

And so I very happily

let them take my liberty.

No matter what they do to me,

it’s all for my security.

You see, you see, you see?

I’m just as glad as I can be

to let them take my liberty.

No matter what they do to me,

it’s all for my security.

It’s Morning in America, Patriot Beyotches!

July 6, 2008 · No Comments

One would think that if the Hedonistic Pleasureseeker were a Muppet she would be Miss Piggy, yes? But one would be oh so wrong.

Surely she has her bitchy and grand Miss Piggy moments, having pretty much nailed the seventh and most deadly sin VANITY. However, depending on the time of the month she is also a female version of either Gonzo or Beaker: Adorably weird and introspective, or a babbling freakout mess, usually over world events she can do absolutely nothing about.

The coming demise of the American economy via the debauching of our dollar currency (see: HYPERINFLATION and STAGFLATION) will soon provide the Hedonistic Pleasureseeker plenty of nothing for which to express much ado. It will take a freaking miracle to save us now. Perhaps instead of Blogging the Apocalypse the Hedonistic Pleasureseeker would be better off with a martini and a mild sedative?

Half Nekkid Thursday: Midpoint

July 3, 2008 · No Comments

So many midpoints, so little patience. I’m half way through my summer classes: Midterm tests and papers are complete, and I’m gearing up final tests and papers. I will never take TWO summer classes at the same time again! By August I shall be free, but for now I don’t have much time for anything except homework.

Bunny didn’t get the summer job that she wanted, so she’s making money doing extra work around the house. It’s cut my own housework burden in half! Now if only I didn’t STILL have to scream at her to get her to do it.

I am half way to my weight goal. I’m enjoying my cardio very much these days. I love breaking a sweat because - and I know this probably seems weird - it gives me flashbacks of my nights at the burlesque. The dance bug may be biting me again soon, and I can’t wait until August to find out!

Half of me wants to start dating again and half of me doesn’t. Andrew has been calling; he wants me to fly out to Hollyweird to see him again and has offered to cover all my expenses. I enjoy his company (in measured doses) and it seeing him would more than make up for my Summer Sex deficit, BUT. I’m really starting to wonder about the man: I think he may actually be a sex addict, and by that I mean more than the typical man: I mean NOT in a happy kind of way, but in an anxious and seeking relief via constant, rapid-release sex way. I’m anxious enough these days without adding THAT to my vibe. I want a man to DOUBLE my pleasure, not cut it in half!

What He Hath Wrought

June 27, 2008 · 3 Comments

(For more iron designs visit What We Have Wrought)

I am so sorry that one mentally ill obsessive has managed to ruin the comments section of my blog. Obviously the man is incapable of self management, and I am bloody sick of policing him, so I’m shutting down the comments section until further notice. Apologies all around, but the gate is closed. Maybe I’ll stop by your pad instead.

Tonight I Pour Myself a Stiff One

June 24, 2008 · No Comments

I was greeted by a stiffie this morning. Unfortunately it was NOT the kind I like. So, now that I’ve made it through the day, Advil or margarita? Never do both.

HMM. Margarita. Definitely. Still not the stiff one I’m in the mood for, but it will do.

A Lonely Limbo

June 22, 2008 · 9 Comments

(I don’t have my pre-Zoloft body back yet, but I’m about half way there)

It’s been a rough few days for me, and I’m baffled.

I have Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and Premenstrual Dysphoria Disorder (PMDD), so one would think I’d be super upbeat and happy this week. It’s the height of summer, and I just got my period, so why do I just want to curl up into a little ball and cry? I don’t get it.

Or, maybe I do get it. I’m lonely, DUH. My schizoid tendencies, combined with a heavy college course load, make the Hedonistic Pleasureseeker a dull, dull, DULL girl. It’s summer and I have nobody to play with. My sex life is sporadic at best and my love life is nonexistent. By choice, mind you. By choice. I think. Maybe not. I’m confused.

I’ve put myself back on the Wellbutrin to kick my initiative in the pants. I REALLY don’t want to experience the adverse side effects of Zoloft again, and so long as I’m not thinking about offing myself I don’t believe I need to. There are other things I want to try first, such as aerobic exercise, and wake therapy, both of which have been proven to have a positive effect on mood.

I have so much school work that Wake Therapy is going to come in handy. It’s 4:00 am, so I might as begin now.

Barack Throws the Brothers Under the Bus

June 22, 2008 · No Comments

In case some of you are too young to remember what Herbert Hoover’s FBI did back-in-the-day:

(1) Developed 500,000 domestic intelligence files on citizens,

(2) Assisted CIA in opening and photographing at least 250,000 first class letters and producing a computerized index of nearly 1.5 million names,

(3) Opened and photographed 130,000 first-class letters in eight cities,

(4) Assisted National Security Agency in obtaining millions of private telegrams under a secret arrangement with three telegraph companies,

(5) Forced Internal Revenue Service to develop 11,000 files on “political enemies”,

(6) Prepared a list of 26,000 people to be rounded up in case of a “national emergency”,

(7) Assisted Army in preparing intelligence files on an estimated 100,000 Americans

. . . and the list goes on. Are we having FUN YET?

Obama’s support for the FISA “compromise”

Glenn Greenwald

Saturday June 21, 2008 09:53 EDT

In the past 24 hours, specifically beginning with the moment Barack Obama announced that he now supports the Cheney/Rockefeller/Hoyer House bill, there have magically arisen — in places where one would never have expected to find them — all sorts of claims about why this FISA “compromise” isn’t really so bad after all. People who spent the week railing against Steny Hoyer as an evil, craven enabler of the Bush administration — or who spent the last several months identically railing against Jay Rockefeller — suddenly changed their minds completely when Barack Obama announced that he would do the same thing as they did. What had been a vicious assault on our Constitution, and corrupt complicity to conceal Bush lawbreaking, magically and instantaneously transformed into a perfectly understandable position, even a shrewd and commendable decision, that we should not only accept, but be grateful for as undertaken by Obama for our Own Good.

Accompanying those claims are a whole array of factually false statements about the bill, deployed in service of defending Obama’s indefensible — and deeply unprincipled — support for this “compromise” . . .

Half Nekkid Thursday: Flattened

June 19, 2008 · 1 Comment

SO much is going on, in my life and on the world stage, but I am too tired to write about any of it just yet. My house smells like litterbox and looks as though a bomb hit it. Let me pay my bills, take this business test and write this finance paper; then we’ll talk.

Burning the Midnight Oil: Don’t Wait Up

June 15, 2008 · No Comments

Business and finance, business and finance. Eight chapters and a paper here, three chapters and a test there. I HAVE NO LIFE. I may need to ban myself from blogging until I feel as though I’ve caught up with myself or at least feel as though I have a handle on things.

In the mean time, you might have looked at this before, but this version has a couple of additions that I have not seen. Found via Mr. Free Market.

Economics explained

SOCIALISM: You have 2 cows, and you give one to your neighbour

COMMUNISM: You have 2 cows. The State takes both and gives you some milk

FASCISM: You have 2 cows. The State takes both and sells you some milk

NAZISM: You have 2 cows. The State takes both and shoots you

BUREAUCRATISE: You have 2 cows. The State takes both, shoots one, milks the other, then throws the milk away

TRADITIONAL CAPITALISM: You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull.Your herd multiplies, and the economy grows. You sell them and retire on the income

SURREALISM: You have two giraffes. The government requires you to take harmonica lessons

AN AMERICAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You sell one, and force the other to produce the milk of four cows. Later, you hire a consultant to analyse why the cow has dropped dead

ENRON VENTURE CAPITALISM: You have two cows. You sell three of them to your publicly listed company, using letters of credit opened by your brother-in-law at the bank,then execute a debt/equity swap with an associated general offer so that you get all four cows back, with a tax exemption for fivecows. The milk rights of the six cows is transferred via an intermediary to a Cayman Island Company secretly owned by the majority shareholder who sells the rights to all seven cows back to your listed company. The annual report says the company owns eight cows, with an option on one more.Sell one cow to buy a new President of the United States, leaving you with nine cows. No balance sheet provided with the release. The public buys your bull

THE ANDERSEN MODEL: You have two cows. You shred them

A FRENCH CORPORATION: You have two cows. You go on strike, organise a riot, and block the roads, because you want three cows

A JAPANESE CORPORATION: You have two cows. You redesign them so they are one-tenth the size of an ordinary cow and produce twenty times the milk.You then create a clever cow cartoon image called ‘cowkimon’ and market it worldwide

A GERMAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You re-engineer them so theylive for 100 years, eat once a month, and milk themselves

AN ITALIAN CORPORATION: You have two cows, but you don’t know where they are. You decide to have lunch

A RUSSIAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You count them and learn you have five cows. You count them again and learn you have 42 cows. You count them again and learn you have 2 cows. You stop counting cows and open another bottle of vodka

A SWISS CORPORATION: You have 5000 cows. None of them belong to you.You charge the owners for storing them

A CHINESE CORPORATION: You have two cows. You have 300 people milking them. You claim that you have full employment, and high bovine productivity, and arrest the newsman who reported otherwise

AN INDIAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You worship them

A BRITISH CORPORATION: You have two cows. Both are mad

IRAQI CORPORATION: Everyone thinks you have lots of cows. You tell them that you have none. No-one believes you, so they bomb the **** out ofyou and invade your country. You still have no cows, but at least now you are part of a democracy

AUSTRALIAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. Business seems pretty good. You close the office and go for a few beers to celebrate

WELSH CORPORATION: You have two cows. The one on the left looks very attractive

PMDD Threat Advisory Code Orange: Globalist Greenhouse Gasbags

June 8, 2008 · No Comments

(Is THIS the global warming that killed off the dinosaurs?)

“The liberal’s preoccupation with social “problems” and the Club of Rome’s obsession with entropy are essentially expressions of the Second School view. Change, the fundamental motion of the universe, is bad.”

- J. Orlin Grabbe, The Systems Method: Bilderberg and Club of Rome

Before I begin this PMDD-addled rant, let me es’plain: I’m a Green. I’m progressive minded. I drive a hybrid car, compost, recycle, grow my own food, and buy organic and sustainably when I can. I even distill my own drinking water!  I’m 100% on board with reducing my “carbon footprint” for the sake of everyone else on the planet, because I believe there is enough energy to go around if we do the fair thing and not act like a bunch of pigs. Actually, comparing U.S. hoarding of natural resources to natural porcine behavior is an insult to pigs everywhere, but it’s the only metaphor I can think of right now.

That said, the “global warming” and “peak oil” scams are gonna git it from me this month. I’ve had it with our corporatist overlords lying to the People in order to push it’s murderous and self-serving agenda of Total Control of Everything, Everywhere. It’s a pathology: These people need psychiatric help. Failing that they need to up and DIE already; God knows the Club of Rome and Bilderberger originals are rickety old Globalist Gasbags who REALLY need to retire, like NOW.

(Time to retire, assholes.)

An example of globalist elitists purposely and deceptively misleading the public can be found in the Club of Rome’s The Limits to Growth, which sold nine million copies in 29 languages. This treatise rocked the world with its dire forecasts. Four years later the Club said that the conclusions of the first report were not correct and that they purposely misled the public in order to “awaken” public concern. (Source: Julian Simon, The Ultimate Resource, and I’m including his C.V., pluse defense against his Malthusian critics here, just for fun.)

The truth of the matter is that Humanity would do JUST FINE without the meddling by Bilderberger Buggers and the Caligulas at the Club of Rome. We the People have the wherewithal to see that every single person on this family has access to food and care, so what’s the problem? THEY are the problem, because they 1) Hoard and control the vast majority of the world’s resources, and 2) use access to the world’s natural resources, including food, as weapons.

NOW, on with my rant . . .

I FART IN YOUR GENERAL DIRECTION

According to the U.N., farts are a much bigger “threat” to “global warming” than cars, which makes the thinking person wonder just who the UN thinks is the enemy here.

Oh wait! The Global Gasbags at the Malthusian Club of Rome identified the enemy decades ago: Mankind’s very existence must be curtailed for the sake of the environment.

But only black, brown, red and yellow people, mind you. The low birth rates of white people in Europe have supposedly reached “crisis” proportions. Meanwhile the birth rates in colonial territories are a “threat to national security.”

THE NATIONAL SECURITY Of WHITE PEOPLE

(Image from an article from the Advocate on eugenics in Connecticut, U.S.A.)

The environmentalist movement was formed by Sir Julian Huxley who was the founder of the Eugenics Society AND the World Wildlife Fund. Huxley was a top eugenicist from a very eugenics-friendly family. After eugenics was stripped of its good name in the post-World War II world, Huxley coined the term “transhumanism” to encompass eugenical beliefs inside a general belief in human “advancement” through scientific processes.

A number of other notable World Wildlife Fund heads may reveal some of the agenda at hand. Prince Bernhard, of the Netherlands, for instance served as the first president of the fund from 1962-1976. He not only founded the corporatist (read: Fasicst) Bilderberg group– a shadowy organization that is pursuing world government and heavily influences the agenda of nearly every nation in the Western world– Bernhard was also a former Nazi SS officer.

(I don’t care for the shrieky controlled opposition Alex Jones, but this excerpt pretty much sums it up: The recently declassified information from Australia pertaining to race-based bioterror is part of the reason Asia is now hip to the Bilderberger eugenics-based scams.)

Then there’s His Royal Virus, Nazi sympathizer and Club of Rome fixture Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. He wants to come back as a virus to cull the earth of the “undesireables;” i.e., the so-called “excess” human population. He does not seemed to have kept it inside his OWN pants, however, as the Duke has several children and grandchildren of his own. But he’s an Important Person, and he’s Whitey, so he’s off the hook.

(People of Color UNITE! Eat a Hamburger for Diversity!)

Take note that “Global Warming” and the unrestrained gobbling of the world’s natural resources was just OKIDOKE so long Whitey was the only one doing it. Once non-whites (China, India, South America, etc.) developed booming economies and started claiming energy for themselves, including driving cars and eating meat, all of a sudden Whitey had a “problem.”

(Damn straight Whitey has a problem: COMPETITION!)

The Western World, aka the New Rome, is in decline and headed to the dustheap of history. WAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH. Whiney Whitey. Expect a never-ending series of news articles and think tank papers proposing “solutions” that at their core are really about maintaining, or restoring, Whitey’s ascendancy on the world stage.

The following video is a prime example of hysterical “Peak Oil” scaremongering. In fact, there is no shortage of oil — the reserves are increasing, not decreasing. Consider the following examples: In 2006, Chevron announced a huge oil discovery in the the Lower Tertiary zone of the Gulf of Mexico, described as “one of the nation’s biggest oil discoveries in decades,” and Brazil discovered giant new offshore oil fields in 2005 (expected to produce 773 million barrels of oil by 2025). Add to this BP’s discovery of new oil fields near the Shetland Islands, recent discoveries in the Timor Sea, Yemen, Tunisia, Libya, offshore Trinidad, in Pakistan, Angola, in the Ordovician Red River Strata of southeastern Saskatchewan, and elsewhere. Earlier this month, the Kurds of northern Iraq announced a major oil find, estimated at about 2 billion barrels. In the last 20 years, known reserves have doubled. Currently there are somewhere in the neighborhood of 680 billion barrels of Middle East reserve oil alone. Add to this an “intriguing theory now permeating oil company research staffs suggests that crude oil may actually be a natural inorganic product, not a stepchild of unfathomable time and organic degradation. The theory suggests there may be huge, yet-to-be-discovered reserves of oil at depths that dwarf current world estimates,” writes Chris Bennett (see Lindsey Williams interview below). “Deeply entrenched in our culture is the belief that at some point in the relatively near future we will see the last working pump on the last functioning oil well screech and rattle, and that will be that. The end of the Age of Oil. And unless we find another source of cheap energy, the world will rapidly become a much darker and dangerous place.” It is a meticulously nurtured myth.

Peak Oil takes a page from publicly available CFR and Club of Rome strategy manuals that say global government needs to control the world population through neo-feudalism by creating artificial scarcity that will result in massive social unrest, widespread famine, and endless war. $15 a gallon gas will most certainly help this agenda along.

-No World System, May 2008

(The Hedonistic Pleasureseeker Farts at the Club of Rome’s general direction)

Whitey will fail. Why? Because the rest of the world is on to the Global Elitist Agenda, that’s why, and they’re not falling for it.

That the members of the Club of Rome and associated think tanks are the spawn of the Eugenics Movement should give pause to decent people. What’s the REAL agenda of our global elitists? Oh that’s easy; they’re not even hiding it!

“It would seem that humans need a common motivation, namely a common adversary, to organize and act together in the vacuum; such a motivation must be found to bring the divided nations together to face an outside enemy, either a real one or else one invented for the purpose.

New enemies therefore have to be identified.

New strategies imagined, new weapons devised.

The common enemy of humanity is man.”

- Club of Rome, 1991

Green is the New Red

June 6, 2008 · 1 Comment

…the power which has always started the greatest religious and political avalanches in history rolling has from time to immemorial been the magic of power of the spoken word, and that alone.
Particularly the broad masses of the people can be moved only by the power of speech.
- Adolph Hitler, Mein Kampf

I’ve discovered something curious: I am no longer banned at Huffington Post, but I am not allowed to post any comments pertaining to socialism, Marxism or communism, even in the context of discussions about the Green Movement.

Isn’t that interesting? Over and over and over again I suggest that We the People have an open and honest national discussion about just how socialist we want the Democratic party to be now that the Clinton Machine has been ousted. Apparently the Thought Police consider my suggestions threatening.

Why? Why? We’re locked in a false dichotomy, this struggle between individualism and collectivism, forced by the Powers that Be into a violent and bitter synthesis. Why can’t we talk about it? WHY? What about the new Green Agenda, and the New Democratic Party, is the Huffington Post trying to hide?

I’m from Minnesota, where socialism and patriotism go hand in hand. Hell, Minnesota is swarming with towheaded Nordic socialists. We invented the indoor shopping mall, Target and the HMO for Chrissake. We’re all about efficient life design for the common folk.We drive sensible cars and dig each other out of the snow and ice every winter. Damn it, it’s COLD in Minnesota; it’s in our best survival interest to be socialists.

But at THE socialist hotbed Huffington Post, God FORBID a commenter mention Barak Obama’s well-documented Marxist and Liberation Theology sympathies. I mean, “if the shoe fits . . .” Why can’t we discuss things openly at HuffPo? If Karl Marx is such a Bad Man that we can’t talk about him, then why is Barak Obama the new Jeebus? Inquiring minds want to know.

(Obey Giant: This poster has sold out!)

Here’s my response to the HuffPo Thought Police: If it’s not in the interests of the Democratic Party to have an informed constituency deeply involved in reshaping the Democratic Party, then the Democratic Party is not our friend. Here comes the new boss, same as the old boss: Top-Down, authoritarian control freaks. Thanks, but no thanks.

Some People Just Can’t Take the Hint

May 25, 2008 · 3 Comments

That’s the problem with mental illness I guess. Now I have to call the cops AGAIN?

NOTE TO MY READERS: I have a blogstalker who thinks I’m . . . I dunno, an ex girlfriend incognito or something. I’ve not met either of these individuals, but since this man is a psychiatric basket case he just won’t let up.

Since he volunteered his personal information I know who he is, and I don’t think he appreciated his last police visit, so WTF IS HIS PROBLEM?

Oh that’s right: He’s a drug addicted psychopath so puffed up with his self-importance that he actually thinks he’s having an “impact” by posting nonsensical comments on my blog. The truth of the matter is that he’s a mosquito, and I’m running around this blog with a flyswatter.

So here’s the deal folks:  I don’t want to turn this into a Registration Only comments space. Does anyone out there know how to block an entire IP range?  I’m willing to cut off the entire San Diego metropolitan area to rid myself of this nutjob incoherence.

Control oil, and you control entire continents. Control food, and you control the people.”

- Henry Kissinger

Want to rule the world? Control the seeds the world uses to grow food.

John Lennon once said, “everything is the opposite of what it seems.” He said it in an interview shortly before his death, and his wise words still resonate today. In the Orwellian world of the NeoCON corporatist, terms are euphemisms for their opposites: War is peace, freedom is slavery, genocide is defense, democracy is fascism. Meanwhile, the reality-based communities on this planet know full well that wherever America goes to “liberate” something it is greeted as a TERMINATOR, a killing machine for big businesses such as Bechtel (infrastructure) and Monsanto (genetically modified foods, or GMOs).

Son of a Farmer has something to say about this.

“Oh, and by the way, as part of the new “Constitution” of Iraq’s heralded democracy, rule #81 is that their farmers can no longer catch their own seed, but they must purchase their seed from one of five companies. Guess who is at the top of that list? Monsanto . . .

. . . GATES, ROCKEFELLER INVEST $150 MILLION IN GMOs. Aw, the benevolence of our wealthiest philanthropists never ceases to amaze me . . . Do they care? Or are they yet another multi-billion dollar pain in our ass? The Rockefellers have plagued this world well over a century, feeding on carcasses of the poor and middle class, now Bill Gates is joining in on the fun. The only people they are helping is the corporate cancer machine that is Monsanto. Let them know how you feel about this $150 million slap in the face.”
