It’s an all too common tale of dirty deeds, shady deals and propaganda. Rosemary Mason’s recent open letter to journalists at The Guardian outlines how the media is failing the public by not properly reporting on the regulatory delinquency relating to GM food and the harmful chemicals being applied to crops. Much of the media is even (unwittingly) acting as a propaganda arm for big agritech companies.

An open ‘Letter from America’ was penned in November 2014 warning countries in Europe and EU regulators not to authorise (chemical-dependent) GM crops because of the devastating effects on human health and the environment. Mason notes that David Cameron ignored that advice. The European Commission and the European Food Safety Authority also ignored it and have continued to allow GM into food and feed in the EU and sanction the ongoing use of dangerous pesticides.

A Karolinska Institute, Scientist Speaks about Electromagnetic smog and their dangers

Vatic Note:   I found this site and took 2 excerpts from the very long presentation, so I cut it down to the two issues that we care about in order to make it relevant to our issues.  I found this video to be the most informative of all those that I have seen.  He even talks about the telecommunications industry's own studies showing how dangerous this is.   The fact that this scientist is a hall of fame scientist, made it important to provide his take on all of this and he does a very credible job of it.   I consider this a must read and listen to the video talk by him.

The second excerpt is about the "Base stations affected health negatively." since we are dealing with the base stations being placed in our communities and residences.  After reading and listening to all of this, it becomes extremely clear why the FCC did what it did in violating our Constitutional protections and rights.  I wonder if this has anything to do with Justice Scalia's death???  Were the evil ones preparing for a court battle over this issue and trying to ensure the outcome was in their favor?

To keep you updated on our battle here in "Podunck America", I wish to inform you that our country council had their meeting "LONG ENOUGH TO SIMPLY POSTPONE THE ISSUE AND RECOMMENDATIONS OF THEIR PLANNING COMMISSION.  They held the meeting out at our little airport, which surprised all of us, and then after the meeting was over we saw 5 french made Lear jets fly out of our field, and they were very expensive Lear Jets, costing in the range of 25 million dollars each, so the meeting was held in easy reach of very wealthy people.... who seemed to care about this issue, but we had no idea who they were.   We could only guess.  But we are all certain it was BIG MONEY.

Yup, its beginning to look like Fascism is on the rise.

Dick Cheney Poisoned Hundreds Of US Troops In Iraq — They’re Dying — And The Media Is Silent

Vatic Note:    This does not surprise me, since he knew that the Khazars in Israel were sniping and killed over 400 of our troops and blamed it on the Iraqi's.  He did nothing about it to Israel for doing that, just like Johnson nothing to them for the USS Liberty.

If he would do that, he would do anything.   I am impressed with the level of TREASON I am seeing in our own country by our elected and appointed leaders who obviously have loyalty to the globalists and not to our sovereign nation or its people. We must have loyalty to ourselves.   Time to contemplate our responses to all of this warring they are doing against us and other nations.

Flint, Michigan, bureaucrats could be charged with manslaughter for mass poisoning of population with toxic lead

Vatic Note:   When I looked at the sources of this news,  I asked myself, "Uh Oh, something stinks in Denmark, since those news sources are all mainstream press who reports nothing that could harm the power structure put in place by the powers that be,  So what is "really" going on here?

Thank goodness our town took fluoride out of our water as far back as 2005, and the state tried to intimidate us into putting it back in, but our board held fast and would not budge on taking it out.   We had too much evidence proving it was dangerous to our health and so, with some serious lurching,  the board members voted to remove the toxic flouride that came from pesticide production, from our water and we have been clean ever since.

Michigan has suffered in many areas, such as loss of manufacturing jobs, industries moving to slave labor countries and it has devastated their economy. I am surprised that the elected reps are not making a stink over spending the money to investigate this..... but I want to see the proof in the pudding, so to speak.  I will follow this story til the end and update later as more comes out.  I hope that Mike Adams has the same idea of following this closely and reporting back regularly.  Thanks, Mike for all that you and your staff reporters do for us.

DO NOT FALL FOR THE PESTICIDE/ZIKA SCAM: DOCTORS PROVE ZIKA MOSQUITOS DROPPED FROM HELICOPTERS

Vatic Note:  I found this late, so I decided to do 4 blogs tonight since I consider this so important to abate the fear mongering these khazars are engaged in with the general population.  Then I decided to post it on Monday since more people seem to be visiting the net on a weeknight.   I felt it fit with how the bad guys scams are all being exposed and its hurting them badly.  Add that to the fact that these evil ones screw up everything they try to use to harm us.  Even their false flags are being badly exposed.  

What this turns out to be, is just another scamming way to get vaccines out to the public that changes our DNA to make us into Zombies, that they warn us about in their Zombie movies.  Once again Jim Stone is onto the scam and is reporting it out to us in a timely fashion, that has forced the evil ones to quickly change the scam into something else, but now nothing will work.  WE BELIEVE NOTHING THAT THE GLOBALISTS TELL US THROUGH THEIR DIFFERENT COMMUNICATIONS VEHICLES.  Ant that includes their global WORLD HEALTH ORG, NATO, AND UN.

THE CELL PHONE POISONING OF AMERICA

*** IT APPEARS THEY HAVE CHANGED MY FONT SIZE DOWN TO EXTRA SMALL ABOUT HALF WAY DOWN THE PAGE.  I DID NOT CATCH IT TIL NOW.
SO PLEASE CONTINUE TO READ.  IRONICALLY, WE ARE GOING THROUGH THIS ISSUE RIGHT NOW, AND ITS BEEN A COMPLETE EYE OPENER, ABOUT THE VIOLATIONS OF OUR RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH, THAT HAS OCCURRED.

ONCE WE HAVE COMPLETED THIS PROCESS, I WILL POST A BLOG ON THE OUTCOME AND WHETHER WE WERE ABLE TO OVERCOME THE FCC'S BANNING OF ANY TESTIMONY ON CELL TOWER CAUSED HEALTH PROBLEMS, A DEFINITE CENSORING AND ABROGATING OUR FREEDOM OF SPEECH.

Dr. Magda Havas: The Truth About Wired and Wireless Technologies

Vatic Note:   ironically, we, in our little podunk town are going through this issue right now.  Vorizon wants to put up a cell phone tower right in the middle of a residential area that is also run by an association. Here is the scary part......

its about the health considerations of doing that, and the FCC TOLD THE PLANNING COMMITTEE THAT "LEGALLY", THEY COULD NOT CONSIDER HEALTH ISSUES, AND THUS COULD "NOT" TAKE TESTIMONY FROM US ABOUT IT.  That is what is scary......... WITH JUST A FEW SENTENCES, THE FCC WIPED OUT THE CONSTITUTIONALLY PROTECTED RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH BY FULL BLOWN CENSORSHIP.

What they have done is rather than using guns to take over the nation,  THEY USED FASCISTS DICTATORIAL POWERS THAT THEY ASSUMED WITHOUT ANY RESPECT OR BASES IN LAW CONTAINED IN THE CONSTITUTION.  INSTEAD THEY MADE UP WHAT THEY WANTED AND SAID SO STATING IT WAS LAW and local boards are enforcing it. 

Then I find out that as far back as 1996, congress passed and Clinton signed a bill whose title I can't recall, but it has language in it that prevents consideration or testimony on technologically based health issues.  Well, when you consider that it was about that time the G20 met and agreed to form a global grid for spying using smart meters, cell towers and HARP like satellites and lasers and all of it as part of the plan to globalize.  The law simply sat there, like the Noahide laws bill that passed, simply waiting for when it would be needed.

I think it was the 4 times in the past year that we had record gun sales and that is when they realized they better hurry, since they were never going to get our guns.  If you care about your freedoms, liberties, and rights, and especially your children and loved ones,  you best begin observing, noting and planning, since they do not intend to give us much time and they are now pushing to see just how far we will let them go before we begin to use those guns.   .

I KEEP SAYING THIS..... GO BACK TO DECEMBER 24, 2015 AND LISTEN TO THE INTERVIEW WITH RABBI FINKELSTEIN.  its revealing and YOU NEED TO KNOW JUST HOW CLOSE WE ARE.........

Surge in babies born without brains in Washington State

Vatic Note:   Well, I believe this is part of what JFK was talking about when he discussed "secret societies" in certain elitest universities.  We did a blog on the subject, called "The Brotherhood of the Bell, Black Arts and Black Sciences".  The new initiates into these secret societies were either children of the blood lines and mentored to do these dark evil deeds, or were smart enough to incorporate into the cabal.  That is how they grew and pervaded just about every occupation, all the way from Military to sciences.

The cost of this has been the total loss of belief in our system run by these khazars who care only for themselves and not one wit about Christians, Muslims or Jews of the Bible.  Remember, these khazars are Luciferians and satan worshippers, and depopulation was determined and put up on the Georgia Guidestones in 5 different languages by these same satanic khazars.

What this shows us is that even local and state governments are gone.  Its what we see everyday with the FDA approving killer foods and seeds to move their depopulation agenda right along, while also dehumanizing those that are left, so they won't resist, and will do the simple mechanical tasks require of them by these cabal evil ones.

We have a problem, since an unconventional and unfair war is currently being conducted against us and its becoming clear that fighting back maybe the only way out of this.  Iceland did it and are now in recovery.  Their bankers are either sitting in jails or removed from the country and shipped elsewhere.    We need to seriously look at that as an option.  After that, we need to do the bosses of those bankers,  who are the illum bloodlines.  Royalty have been identified as those in Europe who have intermarried with these bankers and now control them.  Serfdom is definitely on the agenda.

GMO crops totally banned in Russia... powerful nation blocks Monsanto's agricultural imperialism and mass poisoning of the population

Vatic Note:   Wait until you read this below and see the tumors on the mice used in the experiment.  It hits you right between the eyes, that both Monsanto, the media, and the politicians that do MONSANTO'S BIDDING, are a serious danger to the people of the United States.  Let's remember, Bill Gates owns Monsanto and a private mercenary Company.

Seldom have I ever seen such danger existing within our nation and I am an old broad.  I have seen a lot, but this seriously explains the expression ".... enemies both foreign and domestic".   That is exactly what we have here with respect to "depopulation  Satanism,  globalizing, soft kill vehicles such as GMO, vaccines, and disease promotion, both verbally, and chemtrail wise",  "ENEMIES, BOTH FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC".  They are together and without shame, integrity, morals, or any humanity.   In fact, they hate humanity, its now obvious, especially Christians. .

What I find interesting is that both Vaccines, and Monsanto, are both promoted by Bill Gates whose father was head of Planned Parenthood, a savagely dangerous organization (selling body parts of aborted fetuses) with an innocuous name.  The good news is prosecutions are beginning world wide on these people.   India has a warrant out for the arrest of Bill Gates.   This is one of my "DON'T GET ME STARTED TOPICS".  This is what happens when you let a foreign nation run your country (Israeli Khazars).  If there is a third world war, it should be between Israel and all other nations on the planet including the USA. 

What is wrong with our elected leaders,  that we have not done the same for our citizens as India has done to protect her citizens?  Gates is a criminal, murderer, etc, AND WITH INTENT, which makes it a first degree murder crime, and he should be arrested, and yet our nation will NOT PROSECUTE SERIOUS CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR OF THE CRIMINAL ELITE OF ISRAEL OR THE USA.

RATHER THEY PROMOTE THOSE SAME CRIMINALS TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT OF OUR NATION. Hillary Clinton comes to mind.  iF WE DO NOT STOP THIS NOW,  WE WILL BE LIVING IN A FASCIST STATE and believe me when I say,  the results will not be pretty.

STATINS RED ALERT: Widely prescribed drugs act as cellular poisons that accelerate aging... deactivate DNA repair... promote diabetes, muscle fatigue and memory loss

Vatic Note:   Vatic project pointed out a long time ago, that the movement of our manufacturing jobs overseas to slave labor countries, left very little in our country to build up our GDP.   When I took at look at what was left, this is what I found...... our new industries under George Bush Sr., President at the time in the 80's .....and continued by the current administration, became :

1.  "illness" new illnesses, and heavy side affects drugs that require other drugs to treat the side affects,  Chemtrail dumping of cancer cells, along with other heavy metals that interfere with the brain.
2.  "Jail or prisons" being privatized, instead of owned and run by the people through their government, as it used to be before the movement of our industries overseas and now we have the largest prison population in the world,as a result of civil offenses becoming criminalized, such as IRS violations that used to be handled through a civil tax court.
3.  "War", as we have seen with a depopulation element to it.  Billions in profits  as a result with loans to both sides,  weapons sales,  rebuilding of cities, towns and countryside, as well as  needed infrastructure and industries destroyed by such wars.   So, what we have to do is stand up and take control of our country back again.  Fascism is not welcome in the United States of America.

Scientists: Chemicals in Household Products Are Responsible For Male Infertility

Vatic Note:   Remember, as you read this, its the illuminati families that control, not just the banking industry, but the chemical industries as well. Well, this article is certainly going to tick off the Dupont Illuminati Family, isn't it?  They are the biggest pushers of chemicals in everything including vaccines and early shots for our babies and kids.   What I found offensive about this article, is they only focused on chemicals in our foods etc and not one word about the Chemtrails which dumps all kinds of chemicals into our breathing air.

You know, air, that is critical to life and breathing so we can stay alive.  Well, if you look at the list of chemicals that have been found to be dumped,  it includes many that affect all parts of our bodies and organs within our bodies, so sterility does not surprise me.  They are using Gardesill on our young girls to sterilize them without their knowledge or approval, so this is no less offensive since no one has given approval nor has a doctor prescribed this for use by these men.So, if these are Americans doing this, then they are traitors and that carries a very serious penalty for engaging in it and in violating their oath of offfice.

This is all about depopulation without regard to who, except those who are going underground and are part of the 1 percenters.  Rothschild bankers,  Israeli Khazar Zionists, other illuminati elite are included in those 1 percenters, while the remaining 99% of us can kiss coffins for all they care.

Well, lets fool them and reproduce like rabbits and drive the 1 percenters crazy.  That is what Iceland did and we should follow their lead.   Anyway,  now its going to be important to watch what you ingest these days and to start growing your own food in a secured area that has filtered air going in so it does not poison the soil from which the food will grow.  Good luck everyone.   Also watch what you drink, since so many of these new products are toxic, and have dyes and chemicals in them, that are NOT FOOD, and are toxic to the body.

Dumbing Down Society Part 2: Mercury in Foods and Vaccines

Vatic Note:   Remember, these evil members of this cabal always tell us in advance what they intend to do to us and if we do nothing after knowing it all, then we are responsible and they are not in their own minds. Well, in this case they told us their plan when they made and distributed all those "ZOMBIE MOVIES", since these same zionist khazars own the movie industry, which also explains all those false flag productions.

Lets also remember on this site off to the right, when you scroll down is a link to the protocols of the elders of Zion written in 1897, which clearly states one of their objectives for gaining control over the planet was to attack our children and make them into the kind of adults (people  being socially engineered) that would be so dumbed down, that they would believe and do anything these khazars tell them to do and thus become the compliant, non rebellious subjects and slaves that the  cabal needs to pull off  this domination of the globe .

If we care about our children, the future of our countries, and freedom, then we best get busy turning all of this around by whatever means we can and as soon as we can. This soft kill program, as part of the depopulation agenda, as outlined in the Georgia Guide-stones, must be exposed and stopped and that includes Chem-trails, fluoride in our water  Otherwise, we are then truly responsible, if we do nothing.

This below proves just how stacked the system is against the people and in favor of the drug companies, with little or no recourse by those harmed.  This is a condition that would demand revolution, since holding a criminal accountable for his crimes is a hard rock part of our criminal justice system, and these companies and the CDC know exactly what they are doing and doing so intentionally, which makes this a felony assault at the very least and felony first degree attempted murder, with "murder" as the very most.  Nuremberg trials need to be started again.   If the system won't do it, then we must.

Health fear over metal in formula milk as researchers discover up to 40 times more aluminium than breast milk

Vatic Note: so how can mothers feed their babies without formula??? That is the question since this below makes it clear these babies are at risk for becoming nothing but mindless robots that would die from kidney or liver damage by the time their productive years are over. (that is how they can keep the population down per the Georgia Guidestones). Its also recommended, due to the plastic problems with baby bottles that you invest in bottle liners. Anyway, we have included below a company we have researched that sells organic baby formula that does not have the metal or other toxins in the formula, so please feel free to check them out. http://www.pbmstore.com/veormifo.html?gclid=CKr_1Muo66MCFQImbAodrByi3w .  The first article talks about the dangers of aluminum Toxicity for everyone, but the 2nd article talks about the very serious danger baby formula holds for your children with all the aluminum poisoning in the formula.  Please read both and pass on to your children for your grandchildren as well if your children are grown and have families of their own.  .

The Dangers of Aluminum Toxicity
http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art7739.asp
Guest Author - Linda Paul, Bellaonline Alternative Medicine Editor

Excerpt:
Even though aluminum is not considered to be a heavy metal like lead, it can be toxic in excessive amounts and even in small amounts if it is deposited in the brain. Many of the symptoms of aluminum toxicity mimic those of Alzheimer’s disease and osteoporosis. Colic, rickets, gastrointestinal problems, interference with the metabolism of calcium, extreme nervousness, anemia, headaches, decreased liver and kidney function, memory loss, speech problems, softening of the bones, and aching muscles can all be caused by aluminum toxicity.

Aluminum is excreted by the kidneys, therefore toxic amounts can impair kidney function. Aluminum can also accumulate in the brain causing seizures and reduced mental alertness. The brain is normally protected by a blood-brain barrier, which filters the blood before it reaches it. Elemental aluminum does not pass easily through this barrier, but certain compounds contained within aluminum, such as aluminum fluoride do. Interestingly, many municipal water supplies are treated with both aluminum sulfate and aluminum fluoride. These two chemicals can also combine easily in the blood. Aluminum fluoride is also poorly excreted in the urine.

When there is a high level of absorption of aluminum and silicon, the combination can result in an accumulation of certain compounds in the cerebral cortex and can prevent nerve impulses being carried to and from the brain properly. Long term calcium deficiency can further aggravate the condition. Workers in aluminum smelting plants on a long term basis, have been know to experience dizziness, poor coordination, balance problems and tiredness. It has been claimed that the accumulation of aluminum in the brain could be a possible cause for these issues.

BP Texas Refinery Had Huge Toxic Release Just Before Gulf Blowout

Vatic Note:  What?  They are not in jail yet???  What is holding things up?  The rule of Law is the first victim in a globalizing Fascist New World Order.   This is evidence of exactly what it would be like to live at the whim of these people.  Guard your children, your organs and your wallet.  Currentlly there is no rule of law, so Americans have to start thinking about what to use as a substitute.   Think on it,  an underground, a resistance movement,  what??   Any creative ideas would be welcome. 

BP Texas Refinery Had Huge Toxic Release Just Before Gulf Blowout

ProPublica, July 2, 10:30 p.m.

This story is part of an ongoing collaboration between ProPublica and FRONTLINE (PBS).

TEXAS CITY, TEXAS -- Two weeks before the blowout in the Gulf of Mexico, the huge, trouble-plagued BP refinery [1] in this coastal town spewed tens of thousands of pounds of toxic chemicals into the skies.

The release from the BP facility here began April 6 and lasted 40 days [2]. It stemmed from the company's decision to keep producing and selling gasoline while it attempted repairs on a key piece of equipment, according to BP officials and Texas regulators.

BP says it failed to detect the extent of the emissions for several weeks. It discovered the scope of the problem only after analyzing data from a monitor that measures emissions from a flare 300 feet above the ground that was supposed to incinerate the toxic chemicals.

The company now estimates that 538,000 pounds of chemicals escaped from the refinery while it was replacing the equipment. These included 17,000 pounds of benzene, a known carcinogen; 37,000 pounds of nitrogen oxides, which contribute to respiratory problems; and 186,000 pounds of carbon monoxide.
