The Georgia Guidestones - Historic Mysteries The Georgia Guidestones courtesy of Belinda Dobie The Georgia Guidestones consist of four tall granite slabs, a centerpiece of equal height and a capstone that sits atop the other five stones. The four granite slabs are each 16 feet, 4 inches tall. The Georgia Guidestones were commissioned by a man who called himself Richard C. At the bank, Richard spoke with banker Wyatt Martin. Christian agreed, but with a few conditions. Construction on the Georgia Guidestones began in 1980. Now, the reason for all the to-do about the Georgia Guidestones is certainly the function and messages of the monument. The above functions obviously give the monument a decidedly ancient pagan feel. This is what they read in English: 1.

Monsanto Maize: EU Blocks France Ban Days after France attempted to ban a genetically-modified strain of maize created by the controversial agricultural company Monsanto, based in St. Louis, Mo., the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) rejected France's grounds for banning the maize on Monday, even though France believes the corn is harmful to the environment. Based on the documentation submitted by France, there is no specific scientific evidence, in terms of risk to human and animal health or the environment, the EFSA said on its website. Monsanto's maize, known as MON 810 or its trade name YieldGard, was introduced in 1997 as corn with naturally-occurring soil bacteria inserted into its DNA structure that could better resist insects, as the pests simply can't digest the protein produced by the bacterium. [Europe's health commissioner John Dalli] will consider how to follow up on this ruling, though technically we could ask France to raise its ban [on MON 810], said Frederic Vincent, a spokesman for Dalli.

North Western Research Institute Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, for a world without hunger THE LOCATION OF CONCENTRATION CAMPS IN AMERICA There over 800 prison camps in the United States, all fully operational and ready to receive prisoners. They are all staffed and even surrounded by full-time guards, but they are all empty. These camps are to be operated by FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) should Martial Law need to be implemented in the United States and all it would take is a presidential signature on a proclamation and the attorney general's signature on a warrant to which a list of names is attached. Ask yourself if you really want to be on THE list. The Rex 84 Program was established on the reasoning that if a "mass exodus" of illegal aliens crossed the Mexican/US border, they would be quickly rounded up and detained in detention centers by FEMA. Rex 84 allowed many military bases to be closed down and to be turned into prisons. The camps all have railroad facilities as well as roads leading to and from the detention facilities.

Long, hot summer sends food prices soaring A summer of droughts and extreme temperatures across the world threaten the planet's most vulnerable people, as food prices rise. A new report from the World Bank has revealed global food prices soared by 10% in July, with staples such as maize and soybean increasing by 25% to an all-time high. The drought-hit United States -- the world's largest exporter of grains such as maize -- is facing the worst production shortfalls since the "Dust Bowl" of the 1930s, while a scorching summer in Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan hit wheat supplies, according to Food Price Watch. Overall, the World Bank's Food Price Index, which tracks the price of internationally traded food commodities, was 6% higher than in July of last year, and 1% over the previous peak of February 2011. "Food prices rose again sharply threatening the health and well-being of millions of people," said World Bank Group President Jim Yong Kim. And these rises can have consequences.

Scientists want debate on animals with human genes Against US Agricultural Subsidies March, 2009 by Sam King I am not against all subsidies. The goal of US agriculture policy is to create an export surplus. In the late 20th and early 21st century, ideals of free trade, as manifested through the World Trade Organization and the International Monetary Fund, pushed developing countries to reduce their subsidies. These international discrepancies in subsidization disrupt third world agriculture. This means that third world nations will be trapped in a cycle of dependence on US exports. The farms that benefit from US subsidies are the ones that can afford large scale agriculture. These big farms are not the most efficient method of agricultural production: if anything, small farms should be subsidized to protect them from big farms. The goal of subsidies is to sponsor an industry that would be good for society even though it can’t survive on its own.

Embryos involving the genes of animals mixed with humans have been produced secretively for the past three years By Daniel Martin and Simon Caldwell Created: 20:18 GMT, 22 July 2011 Scientists have created more than 150 human-animal hybrid embryos in British laboratories. The hybrids have been produced secretively over the past three years by researchers looking into possible cures for a wide range of diseases. The revelation comes just a day after a committee of scientists warned of a nightmare ‘Planet of the Apes’ scenario in which work on human-animal creations goes too far. The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority is currently considering whether donors can be paid for their services Last night a campaigner against the excesses of medical research said he was disgusted that scientists were ‘dabbling in the grotesque’. Figures seen by the Daily Mail show that 155 ‘admixed’ embryos, containing both human and animal genetic material, have been created since the introduction of the 2008 Human Fertilisation Embryology Act. ‘Ethically it can never be justifiable – it discredits us as a country.

Subsidizing Starvation In the wake of Haiti's devastating 7.0-magnitude earthquake exactly three years ago, former U.S. President Bill Clinton issued an unusual and now infamous apology. Calling his subsidies to American rice farmers in the 1990s a mistake because it undercut rice production in Haiti, Clinton said he had struck a "devil's bargain" that ultimately resulted in greater poverty and food insecurity in Haiti. "It may have been good for some of my farmers in Arkansas, but it has not worked," he said. Despite Clinton's dramatic confession and his role as the United Nations' special envoy for Haiti, little has changed in the last three years for the Caribbean country's farmers. Meanwhile, for the last year a piece of U.S. legislation that could have arguably changed the playing field for Haiti's farmers has been stalled in Washington, D.C. In Stuttgart, the farm bill has been a tremendous source of anxiety over the last year. Brantley's farm is a marvel of modern farming technology.

UCC Connection "I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, be wise as a serpent and harmless as a dove." This is a slightly condensed, casually paraphrased transcript of tapes of a seminar given in 1990 by Howard Freeman. It was prepared to make available the knowledge and experience of Mr. Freeman in his search for an accessible and understandable explanation of the confusing state of the government and the courts. It should be helpful to those who may have difficulty learning from such lectures, or those who want to develop a deeper understanding of this information without having to listen to three or four hours of recorded material. The frustration many Americans feel about our judicial system can be overwhelming and often frightening; and, like most fear, is based on lack of understanding or knowledge. Mr. Please take note that this lecture represents one chapter in the book of his understanding, which he is always refining, expanding, improving. Fortunately, I made a friend of a judge.

2012 World Hunger and Poverty Facts and Statistics by World Hunger Education Service 2015 World Hunger and Poverty Facts and Statistics World Hunger Education Service (Also see World Child Hunger Facts) This fact sheet is divided into the following sections: Hunger concepts and definitions Hunger is a term which has three meanings (Oxford English Dictionary 1971) the uneasy or painful sensation caused by want of food; craving appetite. World hunger refers to the second definition, aggregated to the world level. Malnutrition/undernutrition is a general term that indicates a lack of some or all nutritional elements necessary for human health (Medline Plus Medical Encyclopedia). There are two basic types of malnutrition. The second type of malnutrition, also very important, is micronutrient (vitamin and mineral) deficiency.

Freedom Resource Center - Law Grand Deception UNITY 08 - GET INVOLVEDThe War on _______ ! A history of how the Grand Deception developed in these united States Below is a re-edited version of a document that originally appears on the web: Note: This editor has noted errors of fact, such as incorrect dates of well known events, and questionable characterizations such as characterizing Antonin Scalia as a monarchist (and possibly other questionable interpretations not yet identified) in the above linked original document. Since 1933 you and all other Americans have been pledged for the debt of the UNITED STATES owed to international bankers, most of whom are foreign to our country. In fact, you are unknowingly volunteering to be chattel for a mortgage held by financiers from the founding of this nation. Your status as a subject is based upon a presumption that if you did not wish to be so encumbered you would use the law to do something about it. Can such a premise be true? Footnotes to above: The

AquAdvantage salmon Aquaculture[edit] Commercial aquaculture is the most rapidly growing segment of the agricultural industry, accounting for more than 60 million tons in 2012, versus 90 million tons of wild caught fish. That year, aquaculture output exceeded beef output for the first time. Genetic modification[edit] Genetic modification occurs when incorporated gene construct opAFP-GHc2 is transferred into the Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and gene construct OnMTGH1 is transferred into the Coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) These transferred genes allow the genetically modified fish to achieve accelerated growth rates, which confer longer survival and reproductive success.[6] Production[edit] AquaAdvantage built a 100-ton/year aquaculture facility in landlocked highlands in Panama, a fraction of the 230,000 ton global output of farmed Atlantic salmon. Concerns[edit] Critics raised concerns about potential environmental impacts if these fish reached rivers or oceans. Survival in new habitats[edit] See also[edit]
