The Monsanto Way

How the US multinational won state governments and influenced policy.

(BHUBANESWAR, India) - When representatives of the world’s largest seed company, Monsanto, began to make discreet visits to the offices of the of the Gujarat government in 2007, it set in motion a process that would transform Indian agriculture in unexpected and significant ways.

Maize farming changed forever, with tribal populations giving up their traditional seeds for the world’s best-known Dekalb brand of hybrid maize (corn) and age-old methods of pesticide-free cultivation.

Dr. Kevorkian: the Benefactor for those Dying from Pain

The author, Ross Douthat, has no idea what extreme severe pain can do to a person.

(MOLALLA, Ore.) - The New York Times offered an OP-ED article Dr. Kevorkian Victims, 6 June 2011, which was to me the Arrogance or Ignorance by someone who should have known better.

Almost EVERY compassionate doctor has been involved in assisted suicide, if not personally then through a physician friend whom he knew would help.

Ninth Circuit Court Says VA, Congress and President Seriously Screwed Up

Court decision will radically change VA's approach to Veteran's health treatment.

(SALEM, Ore.) - Never in my life have I read words so supportive of veterans. It is sad and a case of horrible negligence and oversight, but for once, someone is putting their foot down, and that 'someone' is the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco.

Veterans for Common Sense and Veterans United for Truth Inc., brought the matter forward, representing their members and a class of all veterans similarly situated.

Erica Blasberg (In Memorial) Beauty & The Beast

Her father says she didn’t kill herself, evidence will show...

(CLEVELAND) - With what seemed like a stunning career ahead of her, the unquestionably stunning Pro Golfer Erica Blasberg, died suddenly last May. Her body was allegeded to have been discovered by a doctor named Thomas Hess who made a 911 call to report her death.

Bullying! Phoebe Prince & Others (In Memorial) R.I.P.

The Boston Globe explains how Phoebe Prince was relentlessly bullied by girls who called her "a slut," or "an Irish slut."

(CLEVELAND) - The last time I checked, ignorance is no excuse for the law. Parents need to talk to their kids about human rights, sex abuse and emotional and physical abuse, which of course can be one thing depending on the circumstances.

Doctor Suicides Vs. Military Suicides: There is a Connection

Studies in Denmark indicated that doctors had the highest suicide rates of 20 professions. I’ll bet the U.S. has about the same.

(MOLALLA, Ore.) - The Oregonian had an article about the former on January 18, 2011. This is rather standard history within this profession.

My first time in Medical School (I’ve done it twice) the story was that it was psychiatrists who outed themselves from taking on others’ problems.

Vidarbha Farmers Stage Protest Ahead of Obama`s Visit

Farm widows and distressed farmers from surrounding villages participated in the march and raised the slogan 'Barack Obama Go Back'.

(VIDARBHA, India) - Cotton growers in Vidarbha on Friday staged candle-light protests on the eve of US President Barack Obama's visit to the country, seeking to draw his attention to the plight of the agriculture sector in the region caused by American policies.

The main protest was organised at Hiwara village in Zari taluka of the Yavatmal district.

War Hero Assassinations and War Hero Suicides

PTSD strikes hard at home, with suicides happening far too often.

(MOLALLA, Ore.) - The Oregonian in this past week has given front page display of this tragic problem. I warned about this three years ago when I wrote The Chickens Are Coming Home To Roost. Not to imply that our war hero veterans are “chicken” by any means but the Army is destroying a generation of this country's war heroes, many after they come home.

These suicides et cetera are just the tip of the iceberg.

The PTSD rate of these returning battle veterans is escalating in numbers and also in severity. Almost every returning combat veteran has PTSD.

Obese Children

“The best condiment for food is hunger” - Cicerón

(MADRID) - The main problems that concern child obesity are cardiovascular and medical. Nonetheless, an even greater dilemma exists, cancer. According to a published study by Cell Magazine, overweight acts as a promoter of tumors in general and in the liver in particular.

The children of today will live for a fewer amount of years and with a worse quality of life than did their grandparents, due to the problematic consequences derived from obesity and passivity – according to the press President of the Organizing Committee of the European Society Congress of Endocrinology and Nutrition.

April Scott on Micro Effect Radio: on GM Food

April Scott appears tonight at 11:20 p.m. west coast time, on the Micro Effect network.

(SALEM, Ore. / AUCKLAND, N.Z.) - One of our goals at Salem-News.com, is to fill the informational void created by corporate media's refusal to indict its sponsors.

If the networks and huge daily newspapers paid attention to what was really going on around them, they would be in for quite a shock. Americans are increasingly buying food that falls into the 'mad scientist' category; created in laboratories by essentially fooling nature.
