Did you know that the United States government is using drones to kill innocent people in Pakistan? Did you know that the Pakistani government has asked President Obama to stop it and he won't? Did you know that Pakistan is a sovereign country that has nuclear weapons and is an American ally?
Last week, the Obama administration not only acknowledged the use of the drones; it also revealed that it has plans to increase the frequency and ferocity of the attacks. White House counterterrorism adviser John O. Brennan argued that these attacks are "in full accordance with the law" and are not likely to be stopped anytime soon.
Brennan declined to say how many people were killed or just where the killings took place or who is doing it. But we know that Obama has a morbid fascination with his plastic killing machines, and we know that these machines are among the favored tools of the CIA. We also know that if the president had been using the military to do this, he'd be legally compelled to reveal it to Congress and eventually to seek permission.
We know about the need to tell Congress and ask for permission because of the War Powers Act. This law, enacted in 1973 over President Nixon's veto, permits the president to use the military for 90 days before telling Congress and for 180 days before he needs congressional authorization. Obama must believe that he can bypass this law by using civilian CIA agents, rather than uniformed military, to do his killing. Read More

The People vs. Monsanto: How the lying giant prevailed
May 6, 2012
By: Hesh Goldstein
Natural News
(NaturalNews) On Wednesday, April 25th, the hearing was held to label GMOs on Oahu. I had the rare privilege to be the first testifier. My points were simple and to the point.
1. The Monsanto people will blatantly lie about no testing ever being done or any reports showing adverse health effects of GMOs being sprayed with Monsanto's Roundup.
2. That we are a government of, for and by the people. Not the Corporation.
3. That all the members of the County Council had in their possession the 52 page, 356 referenced report compiled by Antoniou et al, in 2011, indicating that Monsanto's herbicide Roundup, with glyphosate as its active ingredient, caused birth defects, embryonic deaths, lung, kidney, heart and skeletal malformations, endocrine disruptions, human cell death, DNA damage, cancer, and Parkinson-related brain damage.
4. That the council members were elected by the people and had a fiduciary responsibility to serve and protect the people at all costs.
5. That since we elected them we can also de-elect them.
6. That we have 65 Legislators that were genetically modified, having taking campaign funds from Monsanto, and that did not count our Governor, our state Dept. of Agriculture employees, the Attorney General employees, and members of the Council.
Six Monsanto employees that did exactly what I said they would do immediately followed me. Not only did they lie about any testing being done that proved adverse health effects due to Roundup glyphosate spraying, but said that GMOs were no different from any other food and as such did not have to be labeled.
I stood up and shouted that they were lying. I had the report in my hand and told them that each council member had a copy of the report. The Council Chairman freaked out and told me if I had another outburst I would be physically removed from the hearing.
All in all there were at least 40 people that testified in favor of the labeling bill with only six against - the Monsanto employees.
When it came time for the vote it was four for and four against. The bill got killed.
The next day I emailed the four that voted against the bill and explained to that they were an insult to the people that elected them and a few more scathing words. One of the four, Nestor Garcia, has never voted in favor of the people. In fact, he was one of two that voted to fluoridate our water supply.
The four that voted against the people and voted in favor of the pimp were:
ngarcia@honolulu.gov
ianderson@honolulu.gov
emartin@honolulu.gov
rcachola@honolulu.gov
It may or may not have an effect but if they could be buried with negative emails indicating how disgraceful their behavior was to the people that elected them it could have a positive future effect. In any case, it will let them know that their actions did not go unnoticed. Those that are arrogant need to be humbled. So, I humbly ask you to bury them with chastising comments.
What I learned from all of this is that the politicians in Hawaii have sold their souls to the devil, Monsanto. I guess it's hard for people to bite the hand that feeds them.
For us, the fight is not over. We have to become more organized, attract more people from a grassroots level, become more outspoken and strong, and not give up.
The fight will go on!
Aloha!
P.S. Martin and Anderson took money from Monsanto and Garcia, as head of the Monsanto area Chamber of Commerce having many GMO companies on its membership list gets paid $60,000.
Let them know that we know.
About the author:
I have been doing a weekly radio show in Honolulu since 1981 called "Health Talk". In 2007 I was "forced" to get a Masters degree in Nutrition because of all the doctors that would call in asking for my credentials. They do not call in anymore. Going to www.healthtalkhawaii.com enables you, among other things, to listen to the shows. I am an activist. In addition to espousing an organic vegan diet for optimum health, I am strongly opposed to GMOs, vaccines, processed foods, MSG, aspartame, fluoridation and everything else that the pimps (Big Pharma, Monsanto and the large food companies) and the hookers (the doctors, the government agencies, the public health officials, and the mainstream media) thrust upon us, the tricks.
After being vaccinated with the DTP vaccine as a child I developed asthma. After taking the organic sulfur crystals (they are harvested from the pine trees in Louisiana) in November of 2008 for 10 days my asthma reversed and has not come back over 3 years later, 18 cases, so far, of autism have been reversed, as has cancer, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, osteoarthritis, joint pain, gum disease, increased sexual activity, heavy metal and radiation elimination, parasite elimination, free radicals elimination, faster athletic recovery time, increased blood circulation, reduced inflammation, resistance to getting the flu, reduction of wrinkles, allergy reduction, reduced PMS and monthly period pain, nausea, migraines and so much more. And it's only possible because of the oxygen it releases that floods the cells of the body. You can find out more about this incredible nutrient also on my website - www.healthtalkhawaii.com - Products and Services. There is also an organic, 70%, cold processed dark chocolate out there that contains zeolite, which removes radiation and heavy metals. You can find out more by reading the article "A Dark Chocolate To Die For" on my website under Articles, or by going to www.mywaiora.com/701848.
I am 73. I have been a vegetarian since 1975 years and a vegan since 1990. I have no illnesses and take no meds. I play basketball 2 hours a week, am in 2 softball leagues, racewalk, body surf, do stand-up paddling, do weight workouts and teach women's self defense classes based upon 25 years of Wing Chun training.
My firm belief - if it had a face and a mother or if man made it, don't eat it.
Aloha!
Why They Still Call Him President
May 6, 2012
Some still call Barack Obama president out of pure ignorance, but others brilliantly call him President with a very specific agenda in mind. It’s all over but the crying now… as Article II of the U.S. Constitution is officially dead.
Since the nobody Senator from nowhere rose to DNC fame during the 2004 DNC Convention and was subsequently hustled into the highest office in our land despite his blank résumé and invisible past, people have been desperately searching for an honest forum in which to ask – Who is this yahoo, where did he come from and how the hell did he become America’s first openly Marxist White House resident?
Why isn’t there a single honest journalist or court anywhere in the country willing to even entertain the litany of obvious questions which the Marxist-in-Chief has effortlessly dodged since 2004?
For some, ignorance is bliss, until they find out the ultimate price of ignorance. But for others, there is a very clear agenda in play and Obama is indeed the Muslim Messiah who is ushering in real change at breakneck speed. It just isn’t the kind of change people expected when they foolishly voted for the first class traitor in 2008. Read More
