Monday, August 9th, 2010Genetically Modified Canola ‘Escapes’ Farm Fields

Genetically modified crops are commonplace in fields across the United States, but a new study suggests that some plants have spread into the wild. A survey of North Dakota has turned up hundreds of genetically modified canola plants growing along roads across the state.
The results, presented Friday at the annual meeting of the Ecological Society of America in Pittsburgh, show that the vast majority of feral canola plants in the state contain artificial genes that make them resistant to herbicides. Researchers also found two plants that contained traits from multiple genetically modified varieties, suggesting that genetically modified plants are breeding in the wild.

A 2002 annual report breaking down money doled out by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation reveals the foundation provided a grant to National Council of La Raza. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is arguably the largest “charitable” organization in the world.
Gates gave $6,661,364 to the racist organization for education, according to the foundation’s website. La Raza has also received financial support from the Ford Foundation. For instance, in 1968, the globalist foundation gave La Raza $600,000, according to research conducted by Philip Brennan.
La Raza’s website admits “the organization receives two-thirds of its funding from corporations and foundations, and the rest from the government.” For the period 1992-1996, the total amount of “gifts, grants and contributions” to La Raza was more than $38 million.

HFCS – the poison that promotes obesity and liver damage
Monday, August 9th, 2010(NaturalNews) Two new studies have added more reason for concern that high-fructose corn syrup causes significantly more harm to the body than its mere sugar content would suggest.
High-fructose corn syrup contains 55 percent fructose and 45 percent glucose. In contrast, table sugar (also known as sucrose) contains a 50-50 split.
In the first study, published in the journal Pharmacology, Biochemistry and Behavior, researchers from Princeton University found that rats consuming high fructose corn syrup gained more weight and developed more cardiovascular risk factors than rats consuming equivalent amounts of sucrose.
“Some people have claimed that high-fructose corn syrup is no different than other sweeteners when it comes to weight gain and obesity, but our results make it clear that this just isn’t true, ” researcher Bart Hoebel said.

Darkness at the SEC
Friday, August 6th, 2010When he signed the Dodd-Frank financial-regulation bill this month, President Obama proudly declared that the dramatic overhaul of Wall Street “will finally bring transparency to the kinds of complex and risky transactions that helped trigger the [2008] crisis.”
Not quite.
It turns out that the same bill that dramatically expands the Securities and Exchange Commission’s investigative powers also dramatically expands its ability to keep the information it obtains away from the prying eyes of journalists.

Bradley Beauchamp lawsuit
Thursday, August 5th, 2010It seems that, as a congressman, if you do not legislate, you die. You can, therefore, search Thomas.gov and find loads of useless legislation with your congressman’s name attached. Lawyers practice this by litigating in the same fashion. Of course, attaching the name of a candidate doesn’t hurt.
Rumor around the internet is that there is a lawsuit against Bradley Beauchamp running for representative of Arizona’s First Congressional District. The rumor is fueled by a comment by someone using the moniker informedAZvoters. There is only one other reference that I can find on this group which is a blog from 2008 with one article.

Democracy is dead. Long live Democracy.
Thursday, August 5th, 2010Hollywood stars, led by Arnold Schwarzenegger, are dancing around the celebratory fire consuming their supposed form of government—”Democracy.” According to their idea of government, the people have the right to vote for whatever they desire via referendum and initiative. That is all right, apparently, for tax increases, but not for marriage.
California voted against gay marriage with Proposition 8, and now a federal judge quashed the will of the people. U.S. District Chief Judge Vaughn R. Walker, a gay, overturned Proposition 8 as unconstitutional.
Of course, the celebrants do not have an inkling of what this means. What just happened was that the federal government has enforced itself in an area not enumerated in the Constitution of the United States. Marriage is a States’ Rights issue.
That is not even the worse part of the decision. The worst part is that it turns “Government of the People, by the People and for the People” into “Government of the People as long as you govern the way we dictate.”

Wednesday, August 4th, 2010What you will get with Democrats and McCain.
Wednesday, August 4th, 2010The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely GOP Primary Voters in the state shows McCain attracting 54% of the vote, while Hayworth earns 34%.
For Hayworth, this represents another decline in support. In April, he picked up 42% of the vote. That fell to 40% in May, 36% in June and 34% in July.
For McCain, the 54% level of support is his highest yet.
“Some other candidate” picks up seven percent (7%) support, and six percent (6%) are undecided.
Some other candidate is likely Jim Deakin whom people are claiming is giving McCain the election. Splitting the ticket. Taking votes from Hayworth.

Pinal Sheriff Needs Donations To Arm Deputies
Wednesday, August 4th, 2010Sheriff Paul Babeu Says His Deputies Are Outgunned
PINAL COUNTY, Ariz. — Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu said his deputies are outmanned and outgunned when it comes to battling drug cartels.
The Pinal County Justice Foundation is asking the public to donate money so that they can equip deputies with rifles.
Babeu said the guns purchased with donations would go to first responders. The sheriff said they need to raise $150,000.
A CBS 5 News investigation last November revealed the Mexican drug cartel relies heavily on smugglers from Arizona to stockpile their arsenal. That arsenal, officials said, is used in gun battles along the border.

New Jim Deakin video
Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders and miseries which result gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of public liberty.—George Washington

ADF files opening brief with U.S. Supreme Court in Ariz. school choice suit
Sunday, August 1st, 2010State tuition tax credit program defended before nation’s highest court
WASHINGTON — Alliance Defense Fund attorneys filed an opening brief (PDF) Friday with the U.S. Supreme Court in defense of school choice in Arizona. The brief asks that the suit be dismissed because the opponents have not proven that they have suffered any legal injury that would give them standing to sue over the state’s tuition tax credit program. Arizona’s program, like many others across the country, merely allows state residents to claim a tax credit for donations to private organizations that provide scholarships to private schools.
ADF represents Arizona Christian School Tuition Organization, a party in the case, which is one of about 53 non-profit 501(c)(3) corporations organized to distribute private donations in the form of scholarships to over 27,000 students attending hundreds of private schools throughout the state.
