Kauai: Monsanto Frankenstein Island, celeb homeowners

Kauai: Frankenstein Monsanto Island, celeb homeowners

Nutshell background: on both Kauai and Maui, voters decided to block Monsanto GMO-pesticide research and experiments, in which the population is the innocent bystander.

The people spoke.

And then their votes were corruptly overturned in court (see also the NY Times coverage of this story). The Maui case is ongoing.

On Kauai, there is pesticide spraying, and spraying, and more spraying, every day. The Dow/Monsanto chemicals are “restricted-use,” which means even the government considers them highly toxic.

We’re talking about hundreds of chemicals. Some are not even known. They’re super-secret proprietary compounds owned by the nozzle-spouting corporations.

In addition to the 120 or so films that have been shot on Kauai, with crews moving in and out, there are some big-time celebrities who own homes on this Frankenstein Monsanto/Dow Island.

Julia Roberts.

Ben Stiller.

Bette Midler.

Pierce Brosnan.

Drew Barrymore.

Natalie Merchant.

Do they have any idea what’s going on, what they’re being exposed to?

If not, they should be informed.

They could talk to the people of Kauai and the Shaka Movement, get taken to school, learn a few things. They could speak out.

They bought homes for solace, retreat, pleasure…but it turned out they were and are in the middle of a chemical warfare zone.

Think I’m exaggerating?

The document is: “Kaua’i Agricultural Good Neighbor Program RUP Use Reporting: Aggregate usage of Restricted Use Pesticides as reported through the Kaua’i Agricultural Good Neighbor Program.”

It’s a blow-by-blow day-by-day record.

Yes, paradise has been turned into Frankenstein Island.

Oprah has a house on Monsanto-pesticide-poison Maui

by Jon Rappoport

(To join our email list, click here.)

Oprah.

“I love, love, love my house,” she says. “It’s a gem, so sweet and exquisite. Such a real, normal house. It feels like a nice blanket. A lovely and soft cashmere one.” (Daily Caller, 1/6/14, “Michelle Obama spending extended vacation at Oprah’s Maui home”)

Michelle Obama spent a few days there with Oprah in January. Michelle, of the organic gardens and healthy food.

The two Os don’t seem to be aware (or care) that Monsanto and Dow, every day, are pumping “restricted use” (highly toxic) pesticides into the air on Maui, or that voters recently blocked further GMO/pesticide experiments on the Island—only to have Monsanto and Dow sue them, saying they have no right to live healthy lives.

President Obama and Michelle have vacationed at another house on Maui as well.

Let’s see. What other famous people have homes on Monsanto/Dow’s poison factory called Maui?

Clint Eastwood.

Woody Harrelson.

Owen Wilson.

Willie Nelson.

Kris Kristofferson.

Shane Victorino (MLB outfielder).

Chris Berman (ESPN).

Steven Tyler.

In addition to her house, Oprah also owns 63 acres of land on the Island.

I’m going to take a wild guess: these people didn’t move to Maui for the express purpose of breathing the pesticides.

Somebody might want to tap the celebs on the shoulder and mention what is going on under and inside their noses.

Maui is one of Monsanto/Dow’s chief research centers, because it has four growing seasons. These corporations use (own) the Island to develop new GMO seeds and new chemicals for spraying GMO crops.

It’s not a little deal. It’s a big deal.

For the celebs, and of course for all the people of Maui (and the tourists), this isn’t just an “issue.” They’re there. They’re breathing poison.

Informed, the famous stars might have a few things to say. And the press might cover it.

“Make my day, Monsanto.”

—Instead of just strolling through the land and pretending it’s still paradise.

Note to China and Russia: did you import Depopulation Corn?

by Jon Rappoport

December 1, 2014

(To join our email list, click here.)

It’s been called contraceptive corn and spermicidal corn. A San Diego company called Epicyte developed it.

Here’s a brief backgrounder from The Guardian, Sept. 9, 2001; “GM corn set to stop man spreading his seed,” by Robin McKie:

“Scientists have created the ultimate GM crop: contraceptive corn. Waiving fields of maize may one day save the world from overpopulation.

“The pregnancy prevention plants are the handiwork of the San Diego biotechnology company Epicyte, where researchers have discovered a rare class of human antibodies that attack sperm.

“By isolating the genes that regulate the manufacture of these antibodies, and by putting them in corn plants, the company has created tiny horticultural factories that make contraceptives.

“’We have a hothouse filled with corn plants that make anti-sperm antibodies,’ said Epicyte president Mitch Hein.

“…The company, which says it will not grow the maize near other crops, says it plans to launch clinical trials of the corn in a few months.”

I love that last line. Gene drift from plant to plant, field to field, food product to food product? Apparently, Epicyte never heard of it. Every food scientist in the world knows about it, but not Epicyte.

So what happened to the company?

In 2004, it was bought out by Biolex, a North Carolina biotech firm. Then, in 2012, Biolex filed for bankruptcy. Before it did, it sold some of its technology to Synthon, a Dutch drug company that makes Paxil, known for causing birth defects.

The depopulation corn technology? It could be floating around in a number of places by now.

In April of this year, Russia announced it would ban imports of GMO food products. By the end of July, China had stopped importing corn from the US.

Of course, no mention was made of Depopulation Corn. Russia and China are fully aware of, what shall we call them, the conventional dangers of GMO food.

However, China and Russia might check on the “other thing” while they’re at it—the spermicidal genes—to see whether they’ve been importing that type of corn.

You might think China would welcome Depop Corn. I beg to differ. If they’re going to do Depop, they want to engineer it themselves. And then there is the fact that corn is omnipresent in hundreds of thousands, even millions of processed food products. Chinese leaders themselves would thus become subject to Depop without even knowing it.

power outside the matrix

(To read about Jon’s collection, Power Outside The Matrix, click here.)

And what about the USA? Why haven’t I mentioned it?

Because in America, the high-minded campaign is all about labeling GMOs, not banning them. It’s embarrassing.

And with gene drift, in which all sorts of biotech genes float on the wind across the land, and settle into plants of every kind, to say nothing of factories, where processed food is manufactured, what are the chances that labels are going to save the day?

Several counties in the US have enacted bans on growing GMO crops, and as I’ve been detailing, the voters of Maui recently struck a major blow and decided to stop Monsanto and Dow from launching new GMO experiments.

But Monsanto and Dow immediately sued, and the county government of Maui is on their side—and against their own voters.

Press coverage of this ongoing battle is weak, soft and small.

The majority of anti-GMO activists in the US have been brought into the labeling movement, because they think and hope that Shopping Moms will stage a revolution and bring Monsanto and Dow to their knees.

The Moms, that is, who aren’t too busy with their husbands trying to get pregnant through exotic high-tech strategies, because, for some odd reason, the normal time-tested methods aren’t working.

Once-in-a-lifetime Hawaii vacation amidst the pesticides

Once-in-a-lifetime Hawaii vacation amidst the pesticides

You and the kids will love it!

by Jon Rappoport

December 1, 2014

NoMoreFakeNews.com

Recent court cases on Kauai and the Big Island have supported Dow and Monsanto, against the wishes of local voters. The outcome: these companies will be permitted to continue their poisonous experiments with GMOs and pesticides. A similar case is pending in Maui County. The same Judge who screwed Kauai and the Big Island is planning to screw Maui.

Therefore, I propose new text for Hawaii Tourism Authority promotions:

Dear World:

An incomparable experience awaits you on our Island paradise.

Although it is true that Dow and Monsanto are spraying “restricted use” pesticides, and these highly toxic chemicals drift on the balmy breezes…

And although you may be drinking and eating and bathing and swimming and reclining up-close and personal with these chemicals…

And although no one will claim responsibility (birth defects have been reported)…

Take a chance. Roll the dice. We have many fine doctors and hospitals to treat acute episodes of pesticide-exposure.

The billion-dollar Kamehameha Schools Trust leases a thousand acres to Monsanto on Oahu. If the Trust trusts Monsanto, shouldn’t you?

Go for it. A vacation should be an adventure.

With these pesticides being launched on Oahu, Maui, Kauai, Lanai, Molokai, and the Big Island, you can duck, bob, and weave for two weeks…

And that edge of risk will put you in the right frame of mind to view every healthy moment as a gift.

Be sure to explain this to the kids, so they, too, can share your excitement.

We may not have Disneyland, but taking the real-life Hawaii ride is much more challenging.

Book early and avoid the rush.

Oxygen tanks optional.

Come visit…where the bad and the beautiful mingle in a fervent stew of danger.

Long-term damage to health? We call that “Island memories that will last a lifetime.”

In the past year or so, voters on Kauai, the Big Island, and Maui opted to stop Dow and Monsanto from continuing their GMO/pesticide experiments. Fortunately, a federal magistrate struck down those efforts in the first two cases, and he is doing his best to seal a victory on Maui.

That means, when you arrive for your vacation, the pesticide nozzles will operating full-bore, saturating the environment and thus providing you with the metabolic, hormonal, and neurological insults you yearn for, so you can try to traverse a tight-rope of thrills and chills above an abyss of adrenal collapse.

It’s Hawaii. It’s toxic. Come see us.

—end proposed Tourism Authority text—

power outside the matrix

Yes, tourism is the sleeping giant in Hawaii. As long as visitors are unaware of, or don’t care about, the pesticide threats on the Islands, the big snooze continues.

If that changes, however, then Monsanto and Dow will find themselves in a new position. No long merely enemies of the people, but enemies of money.

Exit From The Matrix: project for a new imagination

Exit From The Matrix: project for a new imagination

by Jon Rappoport

NoMoreFakeNews.com

In putting together my collection, Exit From The Matrix, I returned, time and time again, to my research-work with hypnotherapist Jack True, and the practices and exercises of the early Tibetans, for whom imagination was a way of life.

The Tibetan view was: whatever the universe “is,” it can be approached as a product of mind.

In doing so, the extraordinary power of the individual comes to the fore.

And ultimately, that power is creative.

Insights into the nature of creative power come with action, with doing. And so, in Exit From The Matrix, I describe and offer dozens of imagination techniques that can be practiced on a daily basis.

The future of civilization, in the long term, rests on what the individual can create.

At my site, NoMoreFakeNews.com, or through the links below, I invite you to read about the Exit collection and its contents.

My Matrix collections: backgrounder

My Matrix collections: a backgrounder

by Jon Rappoport

November 28, 2014

NoMoreFakeNews.com

There are 3 collections. They all take on the nuts and bolts of consensus reality, which is to say, invented reality.

Not only on political, economic, and social levels, but on the level of the mind.

We live in a limited spectrum of perception. The actual arc is much greater than we experience.

Even more important, the vast majority of human beings live in a small corner of their creative potential.

And of course, that potential includes the capacity to invent new realities. On a vast scale.

When this subject is approached, the usual response is to make reference to some time-honored tradition and pretend it covers and explains everything.

This is not the case.

What history shows is a highly individual thread I call The Tradition of Imagination.

It is open. It does not teach content or substance or doctrine of any kind. It reminds us that imagination/creative force is the key to another level of life.

Not what imagination has already invented, but what it can invent now. In the hands of each unique individual.

That power.

I invite you to read about these 3 collections.

Note to the Hawaii tourism industry: Judge Kurren is not your friend

Note to the Hawaii tourism industry: Judge Kurren is not your friend

Is Federal Judge on Hawaii ready to torpedo tourism?

by Jon Rappoport

November 28, 2014

NoMoreFakeNews.com

A Judge trying to save Dow and Monsanto and their toxic GMO/pesticide experiments is one thing; but there is a much bigger industry in Hawaii:

Tourism.

I’m sure Judge Barry Kurren and his wife, Faye, know some of the heavy hitters in that billion-dollar business.

Well, look at it this way: If the Judge rules against the people of Maui, who just voted to stop Dow and Monsanto…

And if tourists begin to realize how many Dow/ Monsanto experimental toxic pesticides continue floating around the Islands…

And if they book their vacations elsewhere…

Eyes will turn. Glances will become accusing stares.

“Judge, why did you let Dow and Monsanto keep spraying that crap? For all I know, some of it has drifted on to the grounds of my hotel. It might be in the water. Reservations are down. People are figuring out what’s going on.”

Yes. Those sparkling beaches, waving palms, and sunsets in the travel brochures? What if pesticides are in the sand, in the fronds, in the air?

Not the just the usual poisons, but instead the experimental ones that governments restrict, because they’re extra nasty. The ones Dow and Monsanto have been using day after day after day.

It’s time for the tourism moguls on Hawaii to realize their goose is being cooked, and it doesn’t smell good.

Realize it and do something about it.

Then there is also the construction industry.

A prospective client tells a Maui property manager: “I’m backing out. No sale. I’d rather buy a condo on the dark side of the moon.”

Tainted Federal Judge just screwed the people of the Big Island

Tainted Federal Judge just screwed the people of the Big Island

by Jon Rappoport

November 26, 2014

NoMoreFakeNews.com

And he’ll do it again to the people of Maui, who voted to block Dow and Monsanto from continuing GMO/pesticide experiments on their Island.

Read my previous articles (archive here) about Judge Barry Kurren and his wife’s connections to Dow and Monsanto, via The Nature Conservancy and First Hawaiian Bank.

Here’s the latest ruling, just now, from Judge Kurren. AP: “Federal judge rules against Big Island GMO law”:

“A federal judge has ruled that Hawaii County can’t enforce a law restricting genetically engineered crops because it’s pre-empted by state law.

“U.S. Magistrate Judge Barry Kurren’s order issued Wednesday is similar to his earlier decision invalidating Kauai County’s law on pesticides and genetically modified crops.”

Pre-empted by state law. Wrong jurisdiction. Can’t help you.

Kurren is currently overseeing the lawsuit filed by Monsanto and Dow against Maui for daring to vote for health, life, and freedom from GMOs and pesticides. He’ll screw Maui, too.

A note to the lawyers for the good guys—forget the legal niceties. Get moving. File all sorts of motions. A motion to remove Judge Kurren from the case. A motion to investigate corruption in the judiciary. A motion to shove those “pre-empting” state and federal laws aside because they were originally passed on false pretenses and fake science and thus deceived the legislators who voted for them and the executives who signed them.

Start a legal ruckus. Assert that the people being harmed by the GMOs and pesticides have the First Right. That Right cannot be squashed. That Right comes before any law or regulation. Otherwise, the whole meaning and intent of the US Constitution is denied.

This isn’t the time to count beans or split legal hairs. Do you see that? Can you see that?

Exposed: the Judge in the Monsanto-Maui lawsuit is tainted

by Jon Rappoport

November 26, 2014

(To join our email list, click here.)

In a previous article, I ran down Judge Barry Kurren’s wife’s connections to big biotech in Hawaii.

Now I have more. Much more.

Judge Kurren is overseeing the Monsanto/Dow lawsuit against Maui, where the people recently voted to halt Monsanto/Dow GMO research.

Does the Judge have a conflict of interest?

Is the Pope Catholic?

Until at least the fall of 2011, Judge Kurren’s wife, Faye, was a trustee of The Nature Conservancy (TNC) (twitter), a 6-billion-dollar environmental group.

TNC specializes in working with mega-corporations, who donate major money, in return for receiving TNC’s “good housekeeping seal of approval” as friends of the environment.

It’s all very cozy.

In 2011, TNC leveraged a blockbuster deal. Dow pledged a $10 million donation. In exchange, Dow could forthwith use the TNC logo on its site and all its products.

That’s like painting a cobra’s hood with Mr. Rogers’ face.

This would be the same Dow whose GMO/pesticide experiments on Maui the voters decided to stop.

The voter stoppage provoked the lawsuit from Dow and Monsanto.

Faye’s husband Barry is the Judge in the case.

Faye was a trustee at TNC, who took $10 million from Dow.

So…what are the chances Faye’s husband will step on Dow’s face in the lawsuit?

Getting the picture?

There’s more.

power outside the matrix

TNC’s business council includes luminaries like Monsanto, Coca Cola, and of course, Dow.

Among TNC’s corporate funders: again, Dow; Coke, DuPont, Pepsi.

Could the ban-GMO movement ask for more vicious enemies?

Search the extensive TNC website and try to find one negative mention of GMOs or toxic pesticides in their “championing of the environment.”

And what about the boss at TNC?

The CEO is Mark Tercek, former managing partner at what Matt Taibbi calls the “great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money”:

Goldman Sachs.

Tercek is also a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, the vampire squid’s brother.

Tercek writes: “We would also be smart to put more focus on making GMO technology available to lower-income farmers, given the potential benefits that climate-resilient GMO crops could bring to the developing world.”

“Climate-resilient.” Sure. What’s wrong with those damn crops that keep demanding decent weather? Fix them with new genes from Dow. Can’t wait for food that doesn’t need water or topsoil.

To repeat: Faye Kurren, Judge Kurren’s wife, was a TNC trustee.

Case closed.

Find a new Judge.

This one’s tainted.
