A week after the inauguration of Governor Gavin Newsom and a few days
into the legislative session, the California Food and Farming Network
(CFFN) and the California Food Policy Council (CAFPC) have released the
2018 Food & Farm Scorecard — a report revealing the policy votes of
California’s 120 elected state legislators on food and farming issues.
Pesticide Action Network is a member of CFFN. Wh
Scientists from the U.S. Geological Service have published findings
that two metabolites — or what is left when a chemical is broken down —
of a widely used neonicotinoid insecticide have been found in tap water.
The findings are sparking public health concerns , as one of the
metabolites is 319 times more toxic to mammals than the parent
neonicotinoid chemical, imidacloprid. In addition, the sci

killed in the blaze, and thousands of lives were completely upended and
forever changed. Stories of individual courage as

Since writing this in 2004, I have come to the conclusion that Hitler
was an active Rothschild agent. It was common knowledge that the
Rothschilds ran both Britain and USSR and there is no way England would
allow Germany to conquer Russia. His real mission was to lead Germany to
destruction. 21/3/2004 by Henry Makow Ph.D. Hitler didn't want a world
war, and had no stomach for fighting England, ac
From Chattel Slavery To Capitalism "None are more hopelessly enslaved
than those who falsely believe they are free." - Johann Wolfgang von
Goethe A cliché, and yet so pertinent. So many people think that the
struggle against the New World Order is about not becoming their slaves.
But we ARE already their slaves! by Anthony Migchels (henrymakow.com)
The essence of Slavery is that someone else cont
" The crash will be a quick one; very quick. Action - Reaction - Our
solution." Satanists make us morally complicit in our own destruction by
our inaction when they reveal their plans. A.J. Fozdyke, a member of
Sydney's Alpha Lodge, has been warning us for a decade. Here he confirms
that the conspiracy is satanic, the enslavement of mankind indeed is
their goal, and the Chinese Communist Party al

Over the weekend, Democratic Minnesota Representative Ilhan Omar
exposed a long-held open secret when she inferred that the financial
influence of AIPAC, a top pro-Israel lobby group, is a significant
player in lawmakers’ key policy decisions that support Israel’s
interests. Responding to journalist Glenn Greenwald’s about Republican
leader Kevin McCarthy’s campaign to punish Omar and Rep. Rashid
Wednesday’s overwhelming U.S. House vote (248-177) in favor of a War
Powers resolution to end U.S. participation in the Saudi-led war on
Yemen was no doubt a win for peace activists. But the victory was
partially undercut by a little-noticed amendment introduced by Rep. Ken
Buck (R-Colo.)—passed with support from 57 Democrats—that allows for
continued U.S. intelligence sharing with Saudi Arabia.
When Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley left City Hall in May 2011, he was
greeted with banners reading, “Chicago … A World Class City … Thank You
Mayor Daley.” Many mayors before him had set out to turn Chicago into a
world-class city, and with those banners, the city’s political
establishment was proudly proclaiming that Daley had accomplished this
feat. When Rahm Emanuel succeeded Daley to the May
The Italian socialist feminist Silvia Federici is mandatory reading to
understand gender politics in 2019. The opening sentences of her 1975
pamphlet “Wages Against Housework”—“They say it is love. We say it is

family. Caliban and the Witch , her titanic 1998 work on witch trials as

An incredible thing has happened in 2019: We’re actually talking
seriously about taxing the rich. And the debate is not over whether to
do it, but how. Within the month of January, Rep. Alexandria

separate measures that would, respectively, increase top marginal tax
rates on income, levy a direct tax on wealth and interrupt inte

The Mars series by National Geographic is AMAZING and I would highly
recommend watching it for the very interesting interviews about the

colonize Mars to save humanity from the inevitable fatal asteroid is a
