Lot's of talk these days about the bullying of young boys and girls in school by more aggressive students. Which puts me in mind of the biggest bully of all, the biotech company, Monsanto corporation.

                                                  Ko Hawaii Pae Aina No. 2011-4008 Konohiki Heirs Suggestions/Directives

As a Kawaiahao area/ahupuaa (mountain to the sea) konohiki heir, Konohiki Kaaha married to my ancestor Kalola (w) (she also married Luluhiwalani my ancestor - descendant of Kalaniopuu, step-grandson of Kamehameha), I do not approve and suggest that an adjacent lot be used instead.

Furthermore, as one of Kauikeouli/Kamehameha III's, stepsister's descendant, three (3) stepbrother's descendant, a hanai/adopted daughter's descendant and one of the owners of the Crown Lands, who was part of the Konohiki with Kaaha, I do not approve and direct that the adjacent lot be used instead.

For your Information, which affects all Lands in the Hawaiian Islands today.


                                                 Ko Hawaii Pae Aina No. 2011-4009 Land Ownership of Puohala, etc. and  
                                                                                                             the
  Crown Lands part owned by our 
                              
                                                                               families

The lands of Puohala, etc. belongs to our Families.  I, Amelia Gora, have the prima facie evidence, and am a direct descendant of Luluhiwalani, et. als.

 
These lands may not have GMO's growing on it.  GMO's are unacceptable on all of our lands owned by our families.
Note:  This may affect the plans of APEC Nations meeting on Oahu, which makes up 21 Nations of which only 4 Nations have ongoing Treaties with the Hawaiian Government.  

 
Also note that the permanent part of the Hawaiian Government is the Sovereign and the House of Nobles Permanent Members, descendants/heirs which is based on genealogies.  The last third part is the House of Representatives, a voted in part.

 
I, Amelia Gora, am one of the descendants of the Sovereign and three (3) members of the House of Nobles, and heirs of the other Permanent Members.

                                                         Ko Hawaii Pae Aina No. 2011-4010  Land Ownership/Konohiki Heirs 
                                                                                                       from

                                                                                                       Honouliuli thru Chinatown and Crown
                                                                                                       Lands

                                                                                                       part owned by our families


The lands of Honouliuli, etc. belongs to our Families.  I, Amelia Gora, have the prima facie evidence, and am a direct descendant/heir of Luluhiwalani, et. als who was the first cousin of Kekauonohi (w), land owner and konohiki of Honouliuli Ahupuaa, Ewa, Oahu; direct descendant of Kekauonohi's hanai mother Akahi (w) who was the last wife of Kalaimoku/Kalanimoku (k) kahu/caretaker of Liholiho/Kamehameha II; Kauikeouli/Kamehameha III, uncle of Luluhiwalani, et. als.  Akahi (w) married Kahope (k) another Konohiki of Honouliuli.  

Our families maintain the prima facie evidence of these ownerships/genealogies/burial claims, etc.

 
The lands planned for the Rail System includes the Rail Station plans on our families properties under the names of Nuuanu (k) and his grandson Nahuina (w) my great great great grandfather and great great grandfather, or our families lands.

 
Nuuanu (k) was also one of the Konohiki of the Kapalama Ahupuaa with other ancestors named John Kapena/ Kahina and of course the Crown Land Owner Kauikeouli/Kamehameha III.

 
The Halawa Ahupuaa belongs to two ancestors named Grace Kamaikui mother of Peke Davis, another ancestor.

 
A smaller portion belonged to Mataio Kekuanaoa, an ancestor, and whose last wife Kalima is an ancestor of mines also.  

 
The Halawa Ahupuaa was already conveyed lands belonging to our families, and could not have been reconveyed by a non-owner, namely, King David Kalakaua who allowed the U.S. to occupy Pearl Harbor.  His term in office was one of dureess, usurpation, stress, coercion.

 
A Fraud deed was found and entered in a Condemnation Case by the Pirate entity called the Kamehameha Schools Bishop Estates, Bernice Pauahi Bishop Estates Trustees who are not the owners of the Trust because I, Amelia Gora, descend from Kalola (w) the next of kin documented in the Bernice Pauahi Probate.  The Trustees are not related to our families and must not exist due to the criminal deviance, the pirating of lands that they do not own, and the findings of facts of frauds maintained by the pirates, the criminal deviants, identity thieves, etc. of our families over time.

 
These lands may not have GMO's growing on it.  GMO's are unacceptable on all of our lands owned by our families.
Note:  This may affect the plans of the Rail System, APEC Nations meeting on Oahu, which makes up 21 Nations of which only 4 Nations have ongoing Treaties with the Hawaiian Government.

The descendants of our Sovereign named Kamehameha exists, Kamehameha II, and Kamehameha III's descendants/heirs exists including myself Amelia Gora.

For the records, I have posted the following article for all to see/read/know:

Amelia Gora
 

"APEC: ANOTHER POLITICAL ECONOMIC CATASTROPHE!" ---Reminders of Historical Facts For All To See

                                                                             compiled by Amelia Gora (2011)

 

Ko Hawaii Pae Aina/Hawaiian Kingdom/Kingdom of Hawaii/Hawaiian Islands/Hawaiian archipelago with the Sovereign, his heirs AND successors have treaties with the following 16 nations:



 


Of the 21 Nations participating in APEC, only the following four (4) nations have Treaties with Ko Hawaii Pae Aina/ Hawaiian Kingdom/Kingdom of Hawaii/Hawaiian Islands/Hawaiian archipelago:

1)  Japan

2)  New Zealand (Aetearoa) - during Kamehameha's lifetime - part of the Pacific Empire with the Samoan Islands and the Hawaiian Islands

3)  Russia

4)  United States

In a concerted group effort, 17 Nations DO NOT HAVE Treaties with our Hawaiian Government.

Therefore, APEC sponsored by the United States is not welcomed here. 

The descendants/heirs and successors of our King exist recognizing that the 17 Nations meeting in our Islands are not part of the Nations recognized and therefore the World is welcomed to view this group as parasitic organized group with intentions to assume what is not theirs, invited by the U.S., a foreign Nation which has an ongoing Permanent Friendship Treaty with the President who has the lone Foreign Liaison position to engage in a Treaty with the King, and his heirs and successors.

The King has heirs/descendants and the successors are the House of Nobles branch, parts of the Hawaiian Government that was, is, and remains permanent parts of the government.

The House of Representatives, a voted in branch, which had nothing to do with creating the Constitution of the Hawaiian Government, became the treasonous group calling themselves the Provisional government, turned Republic of Hawaii, Territory  of Hawaii, and State of Hawaii despite documented oppositions every step of the way, despite premeditating, pirating a neutral, friendly, non-violent nation.

The 17 Nations Without Treaties With Ko Hawaii Pae Aina/Hawaiian Kingdom/Kingdom of Hawaii/ Hawaiian Islands/Hawaiian archipelago are not invited.

Additionally, the bullying, gun carrying, animosity filled, hate filled Americans, et. als. defending the One World Order/New World Order people are not invited and are a danger to all subjects, citizens in the Hawaiian Islands today.

The killing of one Innocent on Sunday, is one too many. 

The bullying by the U.S. is on record, targetting all Nations who have questioned activities since the criminal dethronement of Queen Liliuokalani in 1893, continuing on with the Plundering Upon Innocents:  Spain, Germany, Japan, Viet Nam, Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, Japan (the Ehime Maru - a War move and killing of Innocents).

This is Stephen Kinzer's list:

According to Kinzer, the first such instance was the overthrow
 
 of the Kingdom of Hawaii
 
 in 1893
 
 , and continuing to America-led invasion of Iraq
 
 in 2003. His examples include mini-histories of the U.S.-supported or encouraged coups d'état
 
 in Hawaii, Cuba
 
 Puerto Rico
 
 , the Philippines
 
 Nicaragua
 
 Honduras
 
 Iran
 
 Guatemala
 
 South Vietnam
 
 Chile
 
 Grenada
 
 Panama
 
 Afghanistan
 
 , and Iraq
 
 


 


This is the list of Nations that the U.S., England, CFR/Council of Foreign Relations have determined to be Plunder On, etc.:

you’re absolutely right!
Amelia,
I can’t agree with you more. First Afghanistan, now Iraq, next? God knows better!
I, as a Pakistani, believe our turn is right around the corner somewhere. If the US government and foreign policy go unchecked, and the media continues to play its present role, then surely, the world will be an absolutely horrifying global village.
9. IRAN
10. SOUTH AFRICA
and not necessarily in that order! Just to verify some of the above:
‘Learn from Iraq’
Top Stories – Reuters
By Philip Pullella
ROME (Reuters) – The United States on Wednesday warned countries it has accused of pursuing weapons of mass destruction, including Iran, Syria and North Korea (news – web sites), to “draw the appropriate lesson from Iraq (news – web sites).”
aloha.
1) Failure in telling Americans about the true relationship with England/U.S. is but a “colony of the Crown (of England)”
Reference: CBS Channel 9 news, 5:45PM, 10/30/05 Sunday
Announcing Prince Charles and his wife would visit the U.S.,
“a colony of the Crown (of England)”;
This article covers part of checking up on the U.S., whose Southern (Confederate) Presidents have been actively destroying the Constitution without the understanding of most Americans.
The most recent U.S. Presidents who have had a hand in the ongoing destruction of the U.S. Constitution are:
President Lyndon Baines Johnson (Texas – Confederate State)
President Richard Nixon (Texas – Confederate State)
President Ronald Reagan (Texas – Confederate State)
President James Earl Carter (Georgia – Confederate State)
President George Bush (Texas – Confederate State)
President William Clinton (Arkansas – Confederate State)
President George W. Bush (Texas – Confederate State)
See John Nelson, legal researcher’s article at http://myweb.ecomplanet.com/GORA8037
 
 for the U.S. President’s role in destroying the U.S. Constitution, etc.

By impeaching the U.S. President, not only can the rights afforded by the U.S. Constitution be maintained, but it will also be a credible sign to other nations that Americans are NOT about WAR, the wrongful Pl under Ing Upon Inn *o* CENTS.
The removal/withdrawal of the American military from the Middle East/other nations will help to keep in check:
1) the Foreign Policies;
2) the Media (mostly Jewish run) who promotes WAR for GREED/money, resources, etc.;
3) and would impede the progress of the World being dominated by the ‘UPPER CLASS’/a few seeking control of a slave world society/ New World Order/ One World Order.
4) Question the United Nations and the President’s need to connect with other nations.
5) Question the United Nations and the CFR /Council on Foreign Relations made up of U.S., England, and the bankers.
6) Question the basis of Allen Dulles, former CIA/Central Intelligence Agency’s former chief who prepared a report recommending the following:
“….a world government, strong immediate limitation on national sovereignty, international control of all armies and navies, a universal system of money, world-wide freedom of immigration, progressive elimination of all tariff and quota restrictions on world trade and a democratically-controlled world bank.” – Allen Dulles 1942
“The report also called for world-wide redistribution of wealth. It held that a “new order of economic life is both imminent and imperative.” “It accepted Marxian concepts by denouncing various defects in the profit system as being responsible for breeding war, demagogues, and dictators.”
7) Take a step back and watch the U.S. and Russia’s possible merger into a world government:
Dulles in 1946 said:
“Moreover, Communism as an economic program for social reconstruction has points of contact with the social message of Christianity as in its avowed concern for the underprivileged and its insistence on racial equality…neither state socialism nor free enterprise provides a perfect economic system; each can learn from the experience of the other…the free enterprise system has yet to prove it can assure steady production and employment…Soviet socialism has changed mch particularly in placing greater dependence upon the incentive of personal gain.”
Do note that in the “first 25 years of Communist control of Russia” the “mass murder of 20-million human beings” occurred.
“15-million persons” were in Soviet Slave Labor camps in 1946;
From 1946 – 1963, the communists “exterminated another 40-million people in Russia, China, Hungary, Cuba, Poland, Tibet and Korea.”
Note and Comments:
Being that the treasonous activities, Communist affiliations of the Presidents, including the building of the United Nations, does this mean that the recent count of 655,000 Iraqi’s who were killed adds to the additional count of Communist mass murders?
The United Nations is communist based, headed by England, the WAR arm U.S., and funded by the international bankers.
The U.S. Constitution has been TAMPERED WITH by U.S. Presidents of a slave state background/Confederate States with less than a full recognition as the other States. See John Nelson’s article at http://myweb.ecomplanet.com/GORA8037
 
 and other issues of IOLANI – The Royal Hawk for U.S. President’s backgrounds, etc.

As a reminder: Russia, the U.S., England were part of the 1822 Secret Treaty of Verona along with Austria, France, Prussia and assistance from the Vatican. See Wolfram Graetz, researcher’s finds in the U.S. Congress records in IOLANI – The Royal Hawk issues or go to his website:
8. Royal families exist documenting excessive frauds, criminal deviance, Pirates of the Pacific and Friends.
9. Royal families, excluding the clowns(not Crown’s) – Kawananakoa’s, have filed liens/notices/affidavits (1996, 2005, 2007, etc.) for the world to see.

 , Honolulu Going Green Examiner
November 9, 2011
APEC is short for "Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation", or what I like to call it: APEC: 'Another Political Economic Catastrophe'
APEC has landed on Hawaiian grounds, with its 21 countries leaders adding to economic growth.
Here are more recent answers to the last APEC article
 
 :
Who are the 21 countries?
1. Australia
2. Brunei
3. Canada
4. Chile
5. China
6. Hong Kong
7. Indonesia
8. Japan
9. Korea
10. Malaysia
11. Mexico
12. New Zealand
13. Papua New Guinea
14. Peru
15. Phillipines
16. Russia
17. Singapore
18. Taiwan
19. Thailand
20. United States
21. Vietnam
Was APEC held in the U.S. before?
Yes. In 1993, Seattle, Washington.
Why is there intense security?
Advertisement
In 2005, APEC was held in S. Korea. A violent protest arose and more than 300 people were arrested.
Where will APEC be held next year?
In Russia, 2012.
Why are most of the roads recently paved in Hawaii?
For APEC. Specific roads were also paved, that leads to areas that are restricted from the public.
Why is APEC here?
There are rumors circulating about a GMO
 
 trade, being that Hawaii contains the largest GMO crops in the world and is known to be the largest controlled test sites.

What is APEC's long-term goal?
To create 'free trade' and 'investments'.
Is Hawaii going to make money with the economy?
It is predicted that Hawaii will have a boost of $123 million dollars.
The amount of what the State of Hawaii and the government has invested to prepare for APEC in Hawaii was larger than the $123 million dollars.
How long is APEC in Hawaii?
November 8 to November 13, 2011.

How has APEC affected Hawaii?
There has been two recent news:
 
 The local man was shot multiple times, has died and the APEC federal agent, charged with 2nd degree murder has posted bail of $250,000, released after 48 hrs of being arrested and is on 'paid' administrative leave.
The second news is of a 100 acre brushfire in Makakilo
 
 , that recently started in the winter time of November 2011 in Hawaii.
A rarity...

Pesticide Contamination Constitutes Illegal Trespass

Pesticide Contamination Constitutes Illegal Trespass

According to this article, the Minnesota Court of Appeals recently ruled in favor of Oluf Johnson, an organic farmer who sued the Paynesville Farmers Union Cooperative Oil Co. because pesticides sprayed on its crops contaminated his fields.  The court ruled that the drifting of pesticides onto Johnson’s farm constituted trespass.
This victory is potentially very meaningful, if it is used as a precedent in cases involving GMO crops. Every time Monsanto genetically alters a seed, it patents that seed.  That patent allows it to sue any farmer whose crops are contaminated by its seeds – even if that farmer doesn’t want the GMO seeds and has not intentionally planted them – claiming the farmer has violated Monsanto’s patent.
However, this ruling could lay the groundwork for organic farmers to claim that the drifting of GMO seeds onto their property, like pesticides, is trespass.  It is not organic farmers who violate Monsanto’s rights, but quite the opposite.
The ruling could give victimized farmers a vehicle for claiming damages.  What’s more, due to the fact that, when GMO seeds are planted, it is inevitable that they will be wafted onto neighboring farms, it could give courts the legal grounds for preventing Monsanto from continuing to plant GMO fields, at least in certain locations.  If GMO crops are planted close enough to non-GMO farms that planting them necessarily leads to illegal trespass, then surely it must be illegal for Monsanto to plant in such locations.  It seems sometimes that Monsanto always wins when it goes to court, but this ruling appears to be a step in the right direction.

8 Ways Monsanto is Destroying Our Health

posted by Delia Quigley Jan 12, 2011 5:04 pm

“The deeper you can manipulate living structures, the more you can control food and medicine.” Dr. Vandana Shiva
Lots of talk these days about the bullying of young boys and girls in school by more aggressive students. This brings to my mind the biggest bully of all: the biotech company, Monsanto Corporation. Taken in context, Monsanto’s list of corporate crimes should have been enough to pull their corporate charter years ago. And yet we allow them to continue to destroy our food supply, our health and the planet. Monsanto or Monsatan? Take a look at the company’s track record and decide for yourself.
Agent Orange: Monsanto was the major financial beneficiary of this herbicide used to defoliate the jungles of Vietnam and destroy the health of American troops and their offspring. It also allowed Monsanto and other chemical companies to appeal for and receive protection from veterans seeking damages for their exposure to Agent Orange and any future biotech creations.
 
Aspartame: as far back as 1994 the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services released a report listing 94 health issues caused by Aspartame. It has been shown to cause slow but serious damage to the human body and yet it is used extensively in many commercial products.
Saccharin: studies have shown that saccharin caused cancer in test rats and mice; and in six human studies, including one done by the National Cancer Institute, that consuming artificial sweeteners, such as saccharin and cyclamate, resulted in bladder cancer.

Is Your Body Contaminated with Pesticides?

posted by Michelle Schoffro Cook May 2, 2010 1:01 pm

More than 1.2 billion pounds of pesticides are used in the United States and multiple studies show that they are finding their way into the bodies of the average person.
One pesticide, chlorpyrifos (CPF), was found in eighty-two percent of urine samples from a broad range of Americans aged twenty to fifty-nine.
In a Canadian study, the herbicide 2, 4-D, was found in fifty percent of the semen samples of men. That’s a scary proposition when one considers that semen carries the genetic material of a possible fetus or child and we know little about the effects of pesticides on developing brains and bodies.
These are just two examples of the approximately 900 pesticides and herbicides registered with the Environmental Protection Agency. Research into the long-term effects of pesticides is still in its infancy.
Currently, The World Health Organization estimates that one-half of the ground and well water in the United States is contaminated with pesticides. Pesticides travel via groundwater and in the air and can be carried by wind to destinations miles away from the application site. Pesticides are washed into our streams, lakes, rivers, and underground aquifers that supply our drinking and bathing water, and these poisons are making their way into our bodies.

First GM Plants Found in the Wild

First GM Plants Found in the Wild

This is the stuff of my nightmares: Genetically-modified (GM) plants escaping the confines of agriculture and invading the wild. We thought regular invasive species were bad? They seem tame compared to genetic contamination of the wild. Even more alarming: Some of the plants had a mix of modified genes, indicating that they are reproducing on their own.
Although GM plant populations in the wild have been found in Canada, this is the first time they have been found in the United Sates.
Meredith G. Schafer, from the University of Arkansas, and colleagues established transects of land over 3000 miles long including interstate, state and county roads in North Dakota from which they collected, photographed and tested 406 canola plants.
The results show that transgenic plants have clearly established populations in the wild.  Of the 406 plants collected, 347 tested positive for CP4 EPSPS protein (resistant to glyphosate herbicide, aka Roundup) or PAT protein (resistant to glufosinate herbicide, aka LibertyLink). The finding shows that genetically modified canola plants can survive and thrive in the wild perhaps for decades–the study was presented today at the annual meeting of the Ecological Society of America.
The team’s key finding was two plants that each carried both types of herbicide resistance — a combination that is not commercially available. The only way this can happen in the wild is if the plants are reproducing on their own. “There were  two instances of multiple transgenes in single individuals,” said coauthor Cynthia Sagers, University of Arkansas. “Varieties with multiple transgenic traits have not yet been released commercially, so this finding suggests that feral populations are reproducing and have become established outside of cultivation. These observations have important implications for the ecology and management of native and weedy species, as well as for the management of biotech products in the U.S.”
Once a GM crop is released it cannot be unreleased, and there are no systems in place to prevent genetic contamination through pollen flow, spills or human error. Although the GM plants found by the roadside are assumed to be the result of escaped seeds during transportation, the GM plants found away from roads suggest that the plants are taking on a life of their own.

Organic v. Monsanto

More than 270,000 organic farmers are taking on corporate agriculture giant Monsanto in a lawsuit filed March 30. Led by the Organic Seed Growers and Trade Association, the family farmers are fighting for the right to keep a portion of the world food supply organic—and preemptively protecting themselves from accusations of stealing genetically modified seeds that drift on to their pristine crop fields.
Consumers are powerful. For more than a decade, a cultural shift has seen shoppers renounce the faster-fatter-bigger-cheaper mindset of factory farms, exposéd in the 2008 documentary Food, Inc. From heirloom tomatoes to heritage chickens, we want our food slow, sustainable, and local—healthy for the earth, healthy for animals, and healthy for our bodies.
But with patented seeds infiltrating the environment so fully, organic itself is at risk. Monsanto’s widely used Genuity® Roundup Ready® canola seed has already turned heirloom canola oil into an extinct species. The suing farmers are seeking to prevent similar contamination of organic corn, soybeans, and a host of other crops. What’s more, they’re seeking to prevent Monsanto from accusing them of unlawfully using the very seeds they’re trying to avoid.
“It seems quite perverse that an organic farmer contaminated by transgenic seed could be accused of patent infringement,” says Public Patent Foundation director Dan Ravicher in a Cornucopia Institute article about the farmers’ lawsuit (May 30, 2011), “but Monsanto has made such accusations before and is notorious for having sued hundreds of farmers for patent infringement.”
Even as the megacorporation enjoys soaring stock, the U.S. justice department continues to look into allegations of its fraudulent antitrust practices (The Street, June 29, 2011):
Monsanto, which has acquired more than 20 of the nation’s biggest seed producers and sellers over the last decade, has long pursued a strict policy with its customers, obligating them to buy its bioengineered seeds every year rather than use them in multiple planting seasons. Farmers who disobey are blacklisted forever.
It’s a wide net Monsanto has cast over the agricultural landscape. As Ravicher points out, “it’s actually in Monsanto’s financial interest to eliminate organic seed so that they can have a total monopoly over our food supply.”
Imagine a world devoid of naturally vigorous traditional crops and controlled by a single business with a appetite for intellectual property. Did anyone else feel a cold wind pass through them? Now imagine a world where thousands of family farmers fight the good fight to continue giving consumers a choice in their food—and win.

August 13, 2011 Update from OSGATA 
Farmers Defend Right to Protect Themselves From Monsanto Patents

Organizations File Amici to Defend Plaintiffs’ Right to Trial and Respond to Monsanto’s Attempt to Dismiss Case

New York – August 11, 2011 – The 83 family farmers, small and family owned seed businesses, and agricultural organizations challenging Monsanto’s patents on genetically modified seed filed papers in federal court today defending their right to seek legal protection from the threat of being sued by Monsanto for patent infringement should they ever become contaminated by Monsanto’s genetically modified seed. The Public Patent Foundation (PUBPAT) represents the plaintiffs in the suit, titled Organic Seed Growers & Trade Association(OSGATA), et al. v. Monsanto and pending in the Southern District of New York. Today’s filings respond to a motion filed by Monsanto in mid-July to have the case dismissed. In support of the plantiffs’ right to bring the case, 12 agricultural organizations also filed a friend-of-the-court amici brief.
“Rather than give a straight forward answer on whether they would sue our clients for patent infringement if they are ever contaminated by Monsanto’s transgenic seed, Monsanto has instead chosen to try to deny our clients the right to receive legal protection from the courts,” said Dan Ravicher, PUBPAT’s Executive Director.  “Today’s filings include sworn statements by several of the plaintiffs themselves explaining to the court how the risk of contamination by transgenic seed is real and why they cannot trust Monsanto to not use an occurrence of contamination as a basis to accuse them of patent infringement.”
It is now virtually impossible for a U.S. farmer to grow crops of their choosing (corn, soybeans, canola, etc.) and remain GMO-free because of the numerous biological and human means by which seeds can spread. “Given the difficulties in minimizing GM contamination farmers must make numerous decisions about which steps are worthwhile for them and which steps are not.  They are not able to make these decisions based on their own and their customers‘ interests, but must instead make these decisions with the threat of litigation from a giant corporation looming over their head,” Spiegel writes in the amici brief. “The constant threat of a patent infringement suit by Monsanto creates significant, unquantifiable costs for Plaintiff farmers and similarly situated farmers.” The plaintiffs can do everything possible to maintain non-contaminated seeds, and will very likely still become contaminated, and be placed under the threat of a lawsuit. As Monsanto’s domination of the seed industry grows, and the winds continue to disperse pollen from their GMO laced crops, the likelihood of contamination and lawsuits only increases.
Monsanto has stated that they would not sue farmers who were “inadvertently” contaminated or farmers whose crops contain “trace amounts” of GMO, however they have refused to sign a simple covenant not to sue, that would bring an effective end to the lawsuit.
Monsanto’s track record makes it clear that Monsanto intends to continue threatening and harassing farmers. “Monsanto has undertaken one of the most aggressive patent assertion campaigns in history,” wrote Ravicher. Monsanto admits to filing 128 lawsuits against farmers from 1997-2010, settling out of court with 700 others for an undisclosed amount. As Spiegel writes, “The passage of time and natural biological processes will inevitably lead to higher contamination levels, at which point Monsanto will have created a target-rich environment for its patent enforcement activities.”
Plaintiffs Bryce Stephens, who farms in Kansas and serves as vice president of OSGATA, Frederick Kirschenmann, who farms in North Dakota, C.R. Lawn, who is founder and co-owner of Fedco Seeds in Maine, Don Patterson of Virginia and Chuck Noble, who farms in South Dakota, each submitted declarations to the court describing their personal experiences with the risk of contamination by genetically modified seed and why those experiences have forced them to bring the current suit. As summarized by the accompanying brief filed by PUBPAT on the plaintiffs’ behalf, “Monsanto’s acts of widespread patent assertion and the plaintiffs’ ever growing risk of contamination create a real, immediate and substantial dispute between them.”
In their brief, the amici describe some of the harmful effects of genetically modified seed and how easily GMOs can contaminate an organic or conventional farmer’s land. The organizations filing the amici brief were Farm and Ranch Freedom Alliance, Biodynamic Farming and Gardening Association, Carolina Farm Stewardship Association, Ecological Farmers of Ontario, Fair Food Matters, International Organic Inspectors Association, Michigan Land Trustees, Natural Environment Ecological Management, Nebraska Sustainable Agriculture Association, Organic Council of Ontario, Slow Food USA, and Virginia Independent Consumers and Farmers Association.

  1. It’s so frustrating that the little guy in our country always suffers at the hands of the big organization. I hope in this case, the band of Davids can defeat this evil goliath finally.
    It’s a matter of education. If people know about the benefits of organic food and the risks of non-organic and GMO food, they can make an informed choice. I choose organic food every chance I get.
  2. If you put up a site where I can send money to help count me in! After watching Food Inc. I think we need to help the small guy who is not trying to hurt anyone…just make a decent living.
    • Thank you. We really want to see the small farmers succeed too.
    • I totally agree, in the IT world we have the free software foundation that steps up to defend the “little guy’s”. I’d love to see an organization who’s mission was to raise funds and help support our hard working organic farmers… Anybody out there with the broad shoulders to take that on?
    • R Olsen, you might be interested in the Cornucopia Institute; “Seeking economic justice for the family-scale farming community. Through research, advocacy, and economic development our goal is to empower farmers – partnered with consumers – in support of ecologically produced local, organic and authentic food.”
      They would be happy to receive donations:
      http://www.cornucopia.org/
  3. No company should be allowed to control any foodstuff. There’s nothing wrong with capitalism but when they control a food market, I call that predatory capitalism. That’s taking a healthy appreciation and outlook of business just a tad too far. We must support policies that are good for people and not for business. We allow this issue to occur at our folly.
    • You couldn’t be more right Stuart!
      The very first time they began to introduce the title ‘ORGANIC’ before a product’s name, i knew we were in trouble!
      “Should there ever be another way to grow food crops but organically?”
      “And does it mean that a larger %age of the food products in our markets are synthetic, more so are we actually suppose to be content with that!”
      “I found fruits with no seeds in them in some countries i’ve visited, very sad”.
      Having control of who can grow food crops and who can’t is merely another clever way to subject people to total monarchy.
  4. I want to send money!! take these f*#&ers out!
  5. The Organic Seed Growers and Trade Association, the lead plaintiff in the lawsuit against Monsanto, is accepting donations. Donation money goes directly towards funding the lawsuit, as well as PR for helping to get the word out to the public.
    Here’s the link to donate: http://www.osgata.org/support-osgata
  6. The lawsuits should be the other way around where the organic farmer needs to be able to sue Monsanto for contaminating his crops. If a field is contaminated with Monsanto patented ‘life’ then it can no longer be considered organic. Since organic is a point of marketing these days. It would seem to me that it is the organic farmer that is the victim here twice over, not just because of the threat of lawsuit, but because of the contamination in the first place.

  1. So they finally got some nuts. It took long enough.
  2. I am so happy to hear that the family farmers are fighting back! It is scary to think that there’s a possibility of heirloom seeds disappearing and even scarier to think that a corporation could potentially control the food supply. I buy organic as much as I can and I try to grow my own vegetables as well. There is a very good documentary on the same topic called The Future of Food (thefutureoffood.com) if anyone wants to check it out, they go into explaining how GM seeds come to be and how the use of pesticides have increased dramatically in the recent years, it’s definitely worth watching.
  3. It’s easy, just have your armed ranch hands walk the property line and let the monsanto come tank your crops…
    • Except that Monsanto purchased the infamous Blackwater mercenary group through a subsidiary of the company. What would Monsanto need with it’s own private army?
    • subsidiary of the company. What would Monsanto need with it’s own private army?
  1. this actually is a really big deal – they are selling seedless growing plants in India that are putting farms out of business with an unsustainable crop – look into this, having just a free breeds of each plant is cause for disaster – ever heard of the lumpar potato…?
  2. We should be suing them for contaminating our crops with their un ethical standards.
  3. About time. Down with Monsanto and their poison and greed.
  4. What about the farmers that Monsanto has already sued and put out of business? I would really love to see them reimbursed!
  5. and monsanto would solve out as always, giving some little money (compared to its benefits) to the court members or just sometimes to the growers/farmers? is that how we solve unfair and unethical behaviour?
    i dont like.
    is that also the democracy that we would like to have? or is just oligarchy of really few people gettin richer and richer just because politics have to act on behalf of the financial market?
    And as i dont want that…. letś change it~!!
  6. Very exciting, but just wondering where the “270,000 organic farmers” figure comes from. I am seeing figures in cross-referenced articles between 60 and 85 farmers involved in the March 2011 filing…. Thanks!
  7. Monsanto is beyond evil. I hope the 270,000 get a million a piece. Taking Monsanto apart might be the best thing that ever happens to agriculture.
  8. Organic food is our right! If Monsanto gets their way, what’s next …the air we breath will be owned by a multinational corporation?
  9. “It’s a matter of education. If people know about the benefits of organic food and the risks of non-organic and GMO food, they can make an informed choice. I choose organic food every chance I get”
    The fact is, you (we) are a minority in this country. Most people do not really care about these issues. What kind of seed is used? Get real! It has no immediate bearing on most people’s lives, thus it is irrelevant to them.
    What I’d like to know is what the heck ever happened to anti-trust laws and enforcement? Remember Standard Oil? Where are the court justices who will break up Monsanto?
    • Thank you, Mark. We’re with you on organics!
      There’s is a lot to be said for the influence our financial system has. Publicly traded corporations are ultimately controlled by Wall Street and the company stockholders.
  10. i am so rapt to see this occuring, i was very afriad after watching food inc, king corn, and other similar docos that the agricultural situation in america (dispite fantastic growth in orgainic and slow food movements) was in very dire straights indeed! awesome to see people standing up for what they believe in and fighting back!! good luck guys! what you do often flows on and affects the rest of the world, so i hope you win!

Monarch Butterflies: Latest Victims of GMO’s

by Jill Ettinger
The rampant planting of genetically modified seeds is threatening the survival of monarch butterflies, the orange and black speckled species common—and critical—to Midwest farmers, according to a new study published in the journal Insect Conservation and Diversity.
The exact cause for the monarch population declines is debated among scientists, but the latest research cites the destruction of milkweed—the plant where the butterfly lays her eggs—as the main cause for the rapidly declining populations. Between 1999 and 2009, milkweed on Iowa farms declined by 90 percent.
Monarchs are migratory pollinators, playing an important role in the propagation of a number of plants throughout the country.
Milkweed is a common target for Roundup, the glyphosate based pesticide manufactured by the biotech corporation Monsanto, and used to kill weeds that threaten its GM Roundup Ready corn and soybeans, which are genetically designed to be resistant to the chemical.
The number of genetically modified crops being grown in the U.S. are staggering: Just this year, almost 95 percent of soybeans and more than 70 percent of corn will be adulterated seeds by biotech giants like Monsanto. The more GM crops are planted, the more Roundup and other glyphosate pesticides are used. According to the EPA, since the Roundup Ready crops were introduced in 1993, use of the pesticide has increased at least ten-fold.
But, milkweed may be declining for other reasons, too. Some scientists have pointed to urban sprawl, logging and other environmentally destructive practices besides the increase in genetically modified crops. And, there are other scientists who maintain that butterfly populations are not facing as significant a loss as speculated in the latest study.

Milkweed and monarchs continue to be abundant in the Roundup Ready crop growing areas. The crop margins / roadsides are not sprayed so there’s still a vast and stable supply of milkweed available for the monarchs.
What other inland area of the USA, besides the GMO farmland of the upper midwest, are there monarchs clusters this big in numerous farm towns in the late summer?:

For more than a decade, a cultural shift has seen shoppers renounce the faster-fatter-bigger-cheaper mindset of factory farms, exposéd in the 2008 documentary Food, Inc. From heirloom tomatoes to heritage chickens, we want our food slow, sustainable, and local—healthy for the earth, healthy for animals, and healthy for our bodies.
But with patented seeds infiltrating the environment so fully, organic itself is at risk. Monsanto’s widely used Genuity® Roundup Ready® canola seed has already turned heirloom canola oil into an extinct species. The suing farmers are seeking to prevent similar contamination of organic corn, soybeans, and a host of other crops. What’s more, they’re seeking to prevent Monsanto from accusing them of unlawfully using the very seeds they’re trying to avoid.
“It seems quite perverse that an organic farmer contaminated by transgenic seed could be accused of patent infringement,” says Public Patent Foundation director Dan Ravicher in a Cornucopia Institute article about the farmers’ lawsuit (May 30, 2011), “but Monsanto has made such accusations before and is notorious for having sued hundreds of farmers for patent infringement.”
Even as the megacorporation enjoys soaring stock, the U.S. justice department continues to look into allegations of its fraudulent antitrust practices (The Street, June 29, 2011):
Monsanto, which has acquired more than 20 of the nation’s biggest seed producers and sellers over the last decade, has long pursued a strict policy with its customers, obligating them to buy its bioengineered seeds every year rather than use them in multiple planting seasons. Farmers who disobey are blacklisted forever.
It’s a wide net Monsanto has cast over the agricultural landscape. As Ravicher points out, “it’s actually in Monsanto’s financial interest to eliminate organic seed so that they can have a total monopoly over our food supply.”
Imagine a world devoid of naturally vigorous traditional crops and controlled by a single business with a appetite for intellectual property. Did anyone else feel a cold wind pass through them? Now imagine a world where thousands of family farmers fight the good fight to continue giving consumers a choice in their food—and win.

August 13, 2011 Update from OSGATA 
Farmers Defend Right to Protect Themselves From Monsanto Patents

Organizations File Amici to Defend Plaintiffs’ Right to Trial and Respond to Monsanto’s Attempt to Dismiss Case

New York – August 11, 2011 – The 83 family farmers, small and family owned seed businesses, and agricultural organizations challenging Monsanto’s patents on genetically modified seed filed papers in federal court today defending their right to seek legal protection from the threat of being sued by Monsanto for patent infringement should they ever become contaminated by Monsanto’s genetically modified seed. The Public Patent Foundation (PUBPAT) represents the plaintiffs in the suit, titled Organic Seed Growers & Trade Association(OSGATA), et al. v. Monsanto and pending in the Southern District of New York. Today’s filings respond to a motion filed by Monsanto in mid-July to have the case dismissed. In support of the plantiffs’ right to bring the case, 12 agricultural organizations also filed a friend-of-the-court amici brief.
“Rather than give a straight forward answer on whether they would sue our clients for patent infringement if they are ever contaminated by Monsanto’s transgenic seed, Monsanto has instead chosen to try to deny our clients the right to receive legal protection from the courts,” said Dan Ravicher, PUBPAT’s Executive Director.  “Today’s filings include sworn statements by several of the plaintiffs themselves explaining to the court how the risk of contamination by transgenic seed is real and why they cannot trust Monsanto to not use an occurrence of contamination as a basis to accuse them of patent infringement.”
It is now virtually impossible for a U.S. farmer to grow crops of their choosing (corn, soybeans, canola, etc.) and remain GMO-free because of the numerous biological and human means by which seeds can spread. “Given the difficulties in minimizing GM contamination farmers must make numerous decisions about which steps are worthwhile for them and which steps are not.  They are not able to make these decisions based on their own and their customers‘ interests, but must instead make these decisions with the threat of litigation from a giant corporation looming over their head,” Spiegel writes in the amici brief. “The constant threat of a patent infringement suit by Monsanto creates significant, unquantifiable costs for Plaintiff farmers and similarly situated farmers.” The plaintiffs can do everything possible to maintain non-contaminated seeds, and will very likely still become contaminated, and be placed under the threat of a lawsuit. As Monsanto’s domination of the seed industry grows, and the winds continue to disperse pollen from their GMO laced crops, the likelihood of contamination and lawsuits only increases.
Monsanto has stated that they would not sue farmers who were “inadvertently” contaminated or farmers whose crops contain “trace amounts” of GMO, however they have refused to sign a simple covenant not to sue, that would bring an effective end to the lawsuit.
Monsanto’s track record makes it clear that Monsanto intends to continue threatening and harassing farmers. “Monsanto has undertaken one of the most aggressive patent assertion campaigns in history,” wrote Ravicher. Monsanto admits to filing 128 lawsuits against farmers from 1997-2010, settling out of court with 700 others for an undisclosed amount. As Spiegel writes, “The passage of time and natural biological processes will inevitably lead to higher contamination levels, at which point Monsanto will have created a target-rich environment for its patent enforcement activities.”
Plaintiffs Bryce Stephens, who farms in Kansas and serves as vice president of OSGATA, Frederick Kirschenmann, who farms in North Dakota, C.R. Lawn, who is founder and co-owner of Fedco Seeds in Maine, Don Patterson of Virginia and Chuck Noble, who farms in South Dakota, each submitted declarations to the court describing their personal experiences with the risk of contamination by genetically modified seed and why those experiences have forced them to bring the current suit. As summarized by the accompanying brief filed by PUBPAT on the plaintiffs’ behalf, “Monsanto’s acts of widespread patent assertion and the plaintiffs’ ever growing risk of contamination create a real, immediate and substantial dispute between them.”
In their brief, the amici describe some of the harmful effects of genetically modified seed and how easily GMOs can contaminate an organic or conventional farmer’s land. The organizations filing the amici brief were Farm and Ranch Freedom Alliance, Biodynamic Farming and Gardening Association, Carolina Farm Stewardship Association, Ecological Farmers of Ontario, Fair Food Matters, International Organic Inspectors Association, Michigan Land Trustees, Natural Environment Ecological Management, Nebraska Sustainable Agriculture Association, Organic Council of Ontario, Slow Food USA, and Virginia Independent Consumers and Farmers Association.

  1. It’s so frustrating that the little guy in our country always suffers at the hands of the big organization. I hope in this case, the band of Davids can defeat this evil goliath finally.
    It’s a matter of education. If people know about the benefits of organic food and the risks of non-organic and GMO food, they can make an informed choice. I choose organic food every chance I get.
  2. If you put up a site where I can send money to help count me in! After watching Food Inc. I think we need to help the small guy who is not trying to hurt anyone…just make a decent living.
    • Thank you. We really want to see the small farmers succeed too.
    • I totally agree, in the IT world we have the free software foundation that steps up to defend the “little guy’s”. I’d love to see an organization who’s mission was to raise funds and help support our hard working organic farmers… Anybody out there with the broad shoulders to take that on?
    • R Olsen, you might be interested in the Cornucopia Institute; “Seeking economic justice for the family-scale farming community. Through research, advocacy, and economic development our goal is to empower farmers – partnered with consumers – in support of ecologically produced local, organic and authentic food.”
      They would be happy to receive donations:
      http://www.cornucopia.org/
  3. No company should be allowed to control any foodstuff. There’s nothing wrong with capitalism but when they control a food market, I call that predatory capitalism. That’s taking a healthy appreciation and outlook of business just a tad too far. We must support policies that are good for people and not for business. We allow this issue to occur at our folly.
    • You couldn’t be more right Stuart!
      The very first time they began to introduce the title ‘ORGANIC’ before a product’s name, i knew we were in trouble!
      “Should there ever be another way to grow food crops but organically?”
      “And does it mean that a larger %age of the food products in our markets are synthetic, more so are we actually suppose to be content with that!”
      “I found fruits with no seeds in them in some countries i’ve visited, very sad”.
      Having control of who can grow food crops and who can’t is merely another clever way to subject people to total monarchy.
  4. I want to send money!! take these f*#&ers out!
  5. The Organic Seed Growers and Trade Association, the lead plaintiff in the lawsuit against Monsanto, is accepting donations. Donation money goes directly towards funding the lawsuit, as well as PR for helping to get the word out to the public.
    Here’s the link to donate: http://www.osgata.org/support-osgata
  6. The lawsuits should be the other way around where the organic farmer needs to be able to sue Monsanto for contaminating his crops. If a field is contaminated with Monsanto patented ‘life’ then it can no longer be considered organic. Since organic is a point of marketing these days. It would seem to me that it is the organic farmer that is the victim here twice over, not just because of the threat of lawsuit, but because of the contamination in the first place.
  7. So they finally got some nuts. It took long enough.
  8. I am so happy to hear that the family farmers are fighting back! It is scary to think that there’s a possibility of heirloom seeds disappearing and even scarier to think that a corporation could potentially control the food supply. I buy organic as much as I can and I try to grow my own vegetables as well. There is a very good documentary on the same topic called The Future of Food (thefutureoffood.com) if anyone wants to check it out, they go into explaining how GM seeds come to be and how the use of pesticides have increased dramatically in the recent years, it’s definitely worth watching.
  9. It’s easy, just have your armed ranch hands walk the property line and let the monsanto come tank your crops…
    • Except that Monsanto purchased the infamous Blackwater mercenary group through a subsidiary of the company. What would Monsanto need with it’s own private army?
Delete
    • subsidiary of the company. What would Monsanto need with it’s own private army?
  1. this actually is a really big deal – they are selling seedless growing plants in India that are putting farms out of business with an unsustainable crop – look into this, having just a free breeds of each plant is cause for disaster – ever heard of the lumpar potato…?
  2. We should be suing them for contaminating our crops with their un ethical standards.
  3. About time. Down with Monsanto and their poison and greed.
  4. What about the farmers that Monsanto has already sued and put out of business? I would really love to see them reimbursed!
  5. and monsanto would solve out as always, giving some little money (compared to its benefits) to the court members or just sometimes to the growers/farmers? is that how we solve unfair and unethical behaviour?
    i dont like.
    is that also the democracy that we would like to have? or is just oligarchy of really few people gettin richer and richer just because politics have to act on behalf of the financial market?
    And as i dont want that…. letś change it~!!
  6. Very exciting, but just wondering where the “270,000 organic farmers” figure comes from. I am seeing figures in cross-referenced articles between 60 and 85 farmers involved in the March 2011 filing…. Thanks!
  7. Monsanto is beyond evil. I hope the 270,000 get a million a piece. Taking Monsanto apart might be the best thing that ever happens to agriculture.
  8. Organic food is our right! If Monsanto gets their way, what’s next …the air we breath will be owned by a multinational corporation?
  9. “It’s a matter of education. If people know about the benefits of organic food and the risks of non-organic and GMO food, they can make an informed choice. I choose organic food every chance I get”
    The fact is, you (we) are a minority in this country. Most people do not really care about these issues. What kind of seed is used? Get real! It has no immediate bearing on most people’s lives, thus it is irrelevant to them.
    What I’d like to know is what the heck ever happened to anti-trust laws and enforcement? Remember Standard Oil? Where are the court justices who will break up Monsanto?
    • Thank you, Mark. We’re with you on organics!
      There’s is a lot to be said for the influence our financial system has. Publicly traded corporations are ultimately controlled by Wall Street and the company stockholders.
  10. i am so rapt to see this occuring, i was very afriad after watching food inc, king corn, and other similar docos that the agricultural situation in america (dispite fantastic growth in orgainic and slow food movements) was in very dire straights indeed! awesome to see people standing up for what they believe in and fighting back!! good luck guys! what you do often flows on and affects the rest of the world, so i hope you win!

Monarch Butterflies: Latest Victims of GMO’s

by Jill Ettinger
The rampant planting of genetically modified seeds is threatening the survival of monarch butterflies, the orange and black speckled species common—and critical—to Midwest farmers, according to a new study published in the journal Insect Conservation and Diversity.
The exact cause for the monarch population declines is debated among scientists, but the latest research cites the destruction of milkweed—the plant where the butterfly lays her eggs—as the main cause for the rapidly declining populations. Between 1999 and 2009, milkweed on Iowa farms declined by 90 percent.
Monarchs are migratory pollinators, playing an important role in the propagation of a number of plants throughout the country.
Milkweed is a common target for Roundup, the glyphosate based pesticide manufactured by the biotech corporation Monsanto, and used to kill weeds that threaten its GM Roundup Ready corn and soybeans, which are genetically designed to be resistant to the chemical.
The number of genetically modified crops being grown in the U.S. are staggering: Just this year, almost 95 percent of soybeans and more than 70 percent of corn will be adulterated seeds by biotech giants like Monsanto. The more GM crops are planted, the more Roundup and other glyphosate pesticides are used. According to the EPA, since the Roundup Ready crops were introduced in 1993, use of the pesticide has increased at least ten-fold.
But, milkweed may be declining for other reasons, too. Some scientists have pointed to urban sprawl, logging and other environmentally destructive practices besides the increase in genetically modified crops. And, there are other scientists who maintain that butterfly populations are not facing as significant a loss as speculated in the latest study.

Milkweed and monarchs continue to be abundant in the Roundup Ready crop growing areas. The crop margins / roadsides are not sprayed so there’s still a vast and stable supply of milkweed available for the monarchs.
What other inland area of the USA, besides the GMO farmland of the upper midwest, are there monarchs clusters this big in numerous farm towns in the late summer?:

more background:
http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/multidb.cgi explore what Congress is up to and google  the S510 & HR 2751  Read below for some info:

  • Senate Bill S510 Makes it illegal to Grow, Share, Trade or Sell Homegrown Food

    S 510, the Food Safety Modernization Act of 2010, may be the most dangerous bill in the history of the US. It is to our food what the bailout was to our economy, only we can live without money.
    “If accepted [S 510] would preclude the public’s right to grow, own, trade, transport, share, feed and eat each and every food that nature makes. It will become the most offensive authority against the cultivation, trade and consumption of food and agricultural products of one’s choice. It will be unconstitutional and contrary to natural law or, if you like, the will of God.”~Dr. Shiv Chopra, Canada Health whistleblower
    It is similar to what India faced with imposition of the salt tax during British rule, only S 510 extends control over all food in the US, violating the fundamental human right to food.
    Monsanto says it has no interest in the bill and would not benefit from it, but Monsanto’s Michael Taylor who gave us rBGH and unregulated genetically modified (GM) organisms, appears to have designed it and is waiting as an appointed Food Czar to the FDA (a position unapproved by Congress) to administer the agency it would create — without judicial review — if it passes. S 510 would give Monsanto unlimited power over all US seed, food supplements, food and farming.
    History
    In the 1990s, Bill Clinton introduced HACCP (Hazardous Analysis Critical Control Points) purportedly to deal with contamination in the meat industry. Clinton’s HACCP delighted the offending corporate (World Trade Organization “WTO”) meat packers since it allowed them to inspect themselves, eliminated thousands of local food processors (with no history of contamination), and centralized meat into their control. Monsanto promoted HACCP.
    In 2008, Hillary Clinton, urged a powerful centralized food safety agency as part of her campaign for president. Her advisor was Mark Penn, CEO of Burson Marsteller*, a giant PR firm representing Monsanto. Clinton lost, but Clinton friends such as Rosa DeLauro, whose husband’s firm lists Monsanto as a progressive client and globalization as an area of expertise, introduced early versions of S 510.
    S 510 fails on moral, social, economic, political, constitutional, and human survival grounds.
    1. It puts all US food and all US farms under Homeland Security and the Department of Defense, in the event of contamination or an ill-defined emergency. It resembles the Kissinger Plan. 

    2. It would end US sovereignty over its own food supply by insisting on compliance with the WTO, thus threatening national security. It would end the Uruguay Round Agreement Act of 1994, which put US sovereignty and US law under perfect protection. Instead, S 510 says: 

    COMPLIANCE WITH INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENTS. 

    Nothing in this Act (or an amendment made by this Act) shall be construed in a manner inconsistent with the agreement establishing the World Trade Organization or any other treaty or international agreement to which the United States is a party. 

    3. It would allow the government, under Maritime Law, to define the introduction of any food into commerce (even direct sales between individuals) as smuggling into “the United States.” Since under that law, the US is a corporate entity and not a location, “entry of food into the US” covers food produced anywhere within the land mass of this country and “entering into” it by virtue of being produced. 

    4. It imposes Codex Alimentarius on the US, a global system of control over food. It allows the United Nations (UN), World Health Organization (WHO), UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), and the WTO to take control of every food on earth and remove access to natural food supplements. Its bizarre history and its expected impact in limiting access to adequate nutrition (while mandating GM food, GM animals, pesticides, hormones, irradiation of food, etc.) threatens all safe and organic food and health itself, since the world knows now it needs vitamins to survive, not just to treat illnesses. 

    5. It would remove the right to clean, store and thus own seed in the US, putting control of seeds in the hands of Monsanto and other multinationals, threatening US security. See Seeds – How to criminalize them, for more details. 

    6. It includes NAIS, an animal traceability program that threatens all small farmers and ranchers raising animals. The UN is participating through the WHO, FAO, WTO, and World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) in allowing mass slaughter of even heritage breeds of animals and without proof of disease. Biodiversity in farm animals is being wiped out to substitute genetically engineered animals on which corporations hold patents. Animal diseases can be falsely declared. S 510 includes the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), despite its corrupt involvement in the H1N1 scandal, which is now said to have been concocted by the corporations. 

    7. It extends a failed and destructive HACCP to all food, thus threatening to do to all local food production and farming what HACCP did to meat production – put it in corporate hands and worsen food safety. 

    8. It deconstructs what is left of the American economy. It takes agriculture and food, which are the cornerstone of all economies, out of the hands of the citizenry, and puts them under the total control of multinational corporations influencing the UN, WHO, FAO and WTO, with HHS, and CDC, acting as agents, with Homeland Security as the enforcer. The chance to rebuild the economy based on farming, ranching, gardens, food production, natural health, and all the jobs, tools and connected occupations would be eliminated. 

    9. It would allow the government to mandate antibiotics, hormones, slaughterhouse waste, pesticides and GMOs. This would industrialize every farm in the US, eliminate local organic farming, greatly increase global warming from increased use of oil-based products and long-distance delivery of foods, and make food even more unsafe. The five items listed — the Five Pillars of Food Safety — are precisely the items in the food supply which are the primary source of its danger. 

    10. It uses food crimes as the entry into police state power and control. The bill postpones defining all the regulations to be imposed; postpones defining crimes to be punished, postpones defining penalties to be applied. It removes fundamental constitutional protections from all citizens in the country, making them subject to a corporate tribunal with unlimited power and penalties, and without judicial review. It is (similar to C-6 in Canada) the end of Rule of Law in the US.

    I read YOUR request too fast, sorry. What is the point your trying to make? If you dont' think Ron Paul is quite possibly the only up there standing up for liberty and honoring his oath... then you either don't know much about him and should do your own research, if you are familiar with him and still don't feel like he is worthy of your time then nothing I can say will change your mind.

    Terri Sutton Knight
    I don't support Ron Paul. I do support growing my own food. I didn't hear about the bill until last week, seems like another thing that they were trying to change before we found out, There goes that hopey thing out the window again.
    I didn't ask anyone to spray my garden this year with some form of gas and ruin my whole garden in May. I love to eat food that actually taste. 
    The whole gov is at fault by not being straight forward with the US citizens to begin with. We are awake now and will be watching closely. We will not forget in 2012 or 2014 or 2016 we will not rest until our country has been restored to its greatness in freedoms and people.

    Was it implied in the word Change? I heard something but it died down quickly. Seemed like it was shut down in order to cover it up. They are really on the wrong side of the people on this one. They tell us that we are going to have a food shortage so folks stock up. Then they blame the food shortage on the "horders". Why would anyone do that unless they were hiding some real agenda? This was also including in the Healthcare bill. What are they doing. They want us all to live in the cities, they don't want us growing our own food but must go to local farmers markets to get our veggies, Why are the fixing a problem with a bigger more threatening problem? Seems they like to cut off their noses to spite their faces.

    Judy Thacker
    I think he (Paul) took a position... he introduce 3 bills to prevent the FDA and several other org's to get out of our LIVES and leave us free to choose.

  • K.c. that is so true .sad but true.
    They Are working nearly completely unencumbered right now, using classic distraction tactics. People are busy with the issues that have been manufactured to stay focused on. Its hard. because those issues are survival based. which is scary. because that is reminiscent of Germany WW2. again, people just walked into it like sheeple. once the memory and lesson is bread out of us again,, we repeat ourselves again.. sad human conditions.

Time to Wake Up: Days of Abundant Resources and
Falling Prices Are Over Forever
Jeremy Grantham
Summary of the Summary
The world is using up its natural resources at an alarming rate, and this has caused a permanent shift in their value.
We all need to adjust our behavior to this new environment. It would help if we did it quickly.
Summary
 Until about 1800, our species had no safety margin and lived, like other animals, up to the limit of the food supply,
ebbing and fl owing in population.
 From about 1800 on the use of hydrocarbons allowed for an explosion in energy use, in food supply, and, through
the creation of surpluses, a dramatic increase in wealth and scientifi c progress.
 Since 1800, the population has surged from 800 million to 7 billion, on its way to an estimated 8 billion, at
minimum.
 The rise in population, the ten-fold increase in wealth in developed countries, and the current explosive growth in
developing countries have eaten rapidly into our fi nite resources of hydrocarbons and metals, fertilizer, available
land, and water.
 Now, despite a massive increase in fertilizer use, the growth in crop yields per acre has declined from 3.5% in
the 1960s to 1.2% today. There is little productive new land to bring on and, as people get richer, they eat more
grain-intensive meat. Because the population continues to grow at over 1%, there is little safety margin.
 The problems of compounding growth in the face of fi nite resources are not easily understood by optimistic,
short-term-oriented, and relatively innumerate humans (especially the political variety).
 The fact is that no compound growth is sustainable. If we maintain our desperate focus on growth, we will run
out of everything and crash. We must substitute qualitative growth for quantitative growth.
 But Mrs. Market is helping, and right now she is sending us the Mother of all price signals. The prices of all
important commodities except oil declined for 100 years until 2002, by an average of 70%. From 2002 until now,
this entire decline was erased by a bigger price surge than occurred during World War II.
 Statistically, most commodities are now so far away from their former downward trend that it makes it very
probable that the old trend has changed – that there is in fact a Paradigm Shift – perhaps the most important
economic event since the Industrial Revolution.
 Climate change is associated with weather instability, but the last year was exceptionally bad. Near term it will
surely get less bad.
 Excellent long-term investment opportunities in resources and resource effi ciency are compromised by the high
chance of an improvement in weather next year and by the possibility that China may stumble.
 From now on, price pressure and shortages of resources will be a permanent feature of our lives. This will
increasingly slow down the growth rate of the developed and developing world and put a severe burden on poor
countries.
 We all need to develop serious resource plans, particularly energy policies. There is little time to waste.  (Read more at link above..................... )

3)  Why so-called "responsible agricultural investment" must be stopped

RAI is being used to normalise land grabbing
April 2011

Wealthy interests are pushing to normalise the concept of "responsible agricultural investment" but this corporate lingo masks the mass appropriation of land at the cost of local inhabitants (often forcibly removed), the destruction of livelihoods and the environment.

On 18-20 April 2011, a gathering of some 200 farmland investors, government officials and international civil servants met at the World Bank headquarters in Washington DC to discuss how to operationalise "responsible" large-scale land acquisitions. Over in Rome, the Committee on World Food Security, housed at the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation, is about to start a process of consultation on principles to regulate such deals. Social movements and civil society organisations (CSOs), on the other hand, are mobilising to stop land grabs, and undo the ones already coming into play, as a matter of utmost urgency. Why do the World Bank, UN agencies and a number of highly concerned governments insist on trying to promote these land grab deals as "responsible agricultural investments"?
Today's farmland grabs are moving fast. Contracts are getting signed, bulldozers are hitting the ground, land is being aggressively fenced off and local people are getting kicked off their territories with devastating consequences. While precise details are hard to come by, it is clear that at least 50 million hectares of good agricultural land – enough to feed 50 million families in India – have been transferred from farmers to corporations in the last few years alone, and each day more investors join the rush.[1] Some of these deals are presented as a novel way to meet food security needs of countries dependent on external markets to feed themselves, such as Qatar, Saudi Arabia, South Korea or China. Others are bluntly exposed for what they really are: business deals and hot new profit opportunities. Despite the involvement of states, most of these transactions are between host governments and private corporations. Firms involved estimate that US $25 billion have already been committed globally, and boast that this figure will triple in a very near future.[2]
What is RAI?
Nervous about the potential political backlash from the current phase of land grabbing, a number of concerned governments and agencies, from Japan to the G-8, have stepped forward to suggest criteria that could make these deals acceptable. The most prominent among these is the World Bank-led Principles for Responsible Agricultural Investment that Respect Rights, Livelihoods and Resources (RAI). The RAI were jointly formulated by the World Bank, the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), the UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) and the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO).[3]
They consist of seven principles that investors may wish to voluntarily subscribe to when conducting large-scale farmland acquisitions (see box). It is noteworthy that the RAI principles were never submitted for approval to the governing bodies of these four institutions.

RAI (or seven principles for "win-win" landgrabbing):
  1. Land and resource rights: Existing rights to land and natural resources are recognised and respected. 
  2. Food security: Investments do not jeopardise food security, but rather strengthen it. 
  3. Transparency, good governance and enabling environment: Processes for accessing land and making associated investments are transparent, monitored, and ensure accountability. 
  4. Consultation and participation: Those materially affected are consulted and agreements from consultations are recorded and enforced. 
  5. Economic viability and responsible agro-enterprise investing: Projects are viable in every sense, respect the rule of law, reflect industry best practice, and result in durable shared value. 
  6. Social sustainability: Investments generate desirable social and distributional impacts and do not increase vulnerability. 
  7. Environmental sustainability: Environmental impacts are quantified and measures taken to encourage sustainable resource use, while minimising and mitigating the negative impact.
    The main RAI pushers (since 2009):
    EU, FAO, G8, G20, IFAD Japan, Switzerland, UNCTAD, US, World Bank
    In April 2010, some 130 organisations and networks from across the world, including some of the most representative alliances of farmers, pastoralists and fisherfolk, denounced the RAI initiative. Their statement debunked RAI as a move to try to legitimise land grabbing and asserted that facilitating the long-term corporate (foreign and domestic) takeover of rural people's farmlands is completely unacceptable no matter which guidelines are followed.

Their statement debunked RAI as a move to try to legitimise land grabbing and asserted that facilitating the long-term corporate (foreign and domestic) takeover of rural people's farmlands is completely unacceptable no matter which guidelines are followed.[4]
This statement was endorsed by many more groups and social movements from around the world following its release. Shortly after, the UN's Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food publicly criticised RAI for being "woefully inadequate" and said, "It is regrettable that, instead of rising to the challenge of developing agriculture in a way that is more socially and environmentally sustainable, we act as if accelerating the destruction of the global peasantry could be accomplished responsibly."[5]
In September 2010, the World Bank released its much anticipated report about large-scale land acquisitions. After two years of research, the Bank could not find any convincing examples of "wins" for poor communities or countries, only a long list of losses. In fact, companies and governments involved in the land deals refused to share information about their transactions with the Bank, so it relied instead on a website (farmlandgrab.org) managed by the CSO GRAIN for its data. Even though the report noted the lack of consultation behind the RAI initiative, the Bank still advocated RAI as the solution.
Despite the RAI framework's serious credibility problem, the CFS debated a motion on whether or not to endorse it in October 2010. Some governments, such as the US and Japan were in favour. Others, including South Africa, Egypt on behalf of the Near East group and China, expressed strong opposition due to lack of an appropriate consultative process. A coalition of movements and organisations released a detailed critique of the RAI framework and principles prior to the CFS meeting.[6]
This catalysed rural social movements, particularly those affiliated with the International Planning Committee for Food Sovereignty (IPC), and other civil society groups to call on the CFS to reject RAI. In the end, the CFS did not endorse RAI, agreeing only to pursue an inclusive process to consider it.
By the end of 2010, it looked as though the high-level push for socially acceptable or "win-win" land grabbing was floundering. Social movements and other CSOs, meanwhile, continued to build popular opposition to RAI. At the World Social Forum in Dakar in February 2011, farmers' movements, and human rights, social justice and environmental organisations gathered to share experiences and consolidate their struggles against land grabbing without the distraction of this code of conduct nonsense, and launched a public appeal to reject RAI and resist land grabbing that continues to gather support.[7]
The RAI proponents, however, refuse to give up.
The CFS Bureau is currently discussing a proposal for a process of consultation on RAI.
An initial draft circulated for comment drew sharp criticism from social movements and CSOs. The IPC stated that it will oppose a process whose main focus is to try to alleviate the negative impacts of large-scale land acquisitions and endorse RAI. Instead, it argued, the CFS should first analyse if RAI is the adequate response to the problems on the ground and re-focus the discussion on the question of what kind of agricultural investment is needed to overcome hunger and support small-scale farmers, particularly women. The IPC further recommended that the CFS stop using the term RAI because it is heavily associated with land grabbing, not investment. But the four agencies behind RAI seem keen to push on.
The World Bank has just released the programme for this year's annual conference on land and poverty at its Washington DC headquarters.
RAI is at the very heart of the discussions. The Bank's main goal now is to start "operationalising" RAI by building on experiences of other "corporate social responsibility" (CSR) schemes such as the Roundtables on Responsible Soy, Sustainable Palm Oil and Sustainable Biofuels, as well as the Extractive Industry Transparency Initiative.
In the meantime, countries are scrambling to contain growing opposition to the global land rush. With all the talk of "win-win" outcomes ringing hollow against the reality of impacts of these deals on local communities, smallholder agricultural producers and workers, some governments, such as Argentina, Brazil and New Zealand, are responding with promises of legislation to cap or discipline foreigners' abilities to acquire domestic farmland. Others, such as Cambodia, Ethiopia and Ghana, are using legal and brute force to suppress local contestation. In the run-up to the 2012 elections in Mali, the opposition Party for National Renewal has challenged President Touré to disclose all details of land leases amounting to several hundred thousands of irrigated hectares granted in the Office du Niger. In Sudan, the most "land grabbed" country in Africa, villagers are now rising up against the government in Khartoum for having seized their lands.
What is wrong with RAI
The push for RAI is not about facilitating investment in agriculture. It is about creating an illusion that by following a set of standards, large-scale land acquisitions can proceed without disastrous consequences to peoples, communities, ecosystems and the climate. This is false and misleading. RAI is an attempt to cover up power imbalances so that the land grabbers and state authorities who make the deals can get what they want. Farmers, pastoralists and fisherfolk, after all, are not asking for their lands to be sold off or leased away!
Land grabbing forecloses vast stretches of lands and ecosystems for current and future use by peasants, indigenous peoples, fisherfolk and nomads, thus seriously jeopardising their rights to food and livelihood security. It captures whatever water resources exist on, below and around these lands, resulting in the de facto privatisation of water.
The violation of international human rights law is an intrinsic part of land grabbing through forced evictions, the silencing (and worse) of critics, the introduction of non-sustainable models of land use and agriculture that destroy natural environments and deplete natural resources, the blatant denial of information, and the prevention of meaningful local participation in political decisions that affect people's lives. No set of voluntary principles will remedy these facts and realities. Nor can they be misconstrued and presented as public policy or state regulation.
Land grabs, which target 20% profit rates for investors, are all about financial speculation. This is why land grabbing is completely incompatible with ensuring food security: food production can only bring profits of 3-5%. Land grabbing simply enhances the commodification of agriculture whose sole purpose is the over-remuneration of speculative capital.
There are some who believe that promoting transparency in land acquisition deals can somehow lead to "win-win" outcomes. However, even if done "transparently," the transfer of large tracts of land, forests, coastal areas and water sources to investors is still going to deprive smallholder farmers, pastoralists, fisherfolk and other local communities from crucial, life sustaining resources for generations to come.
In many countries, there is an urgent need to strengthen systems that protect land tenure of peasants and small-scale food producers, and many social movements have been fighting for recognition of their rights to land for many years. The RAI principles will make any progress on agrarian reform or land rights meaningless.
Why We Oppose the Principles for
As for the big private players themselves, RAI can only amount to another feather in their "CSR" cap, a public relations act that they can point to when convenient. In the real world, they will continue to rely on bilateral trade and investment agreements, legal loopholes, compliant states, political risk insurance schemes and support from international institutions that promote RAI, to protect their interests and save them from any financial pain or responsibility.
The problem is obvious. These agribusiness projects – from the 100,000 hectare Malibya deal in the Office du Niger, Mali, to the 320,000 hectare Beidahuang Group deal in Rio Negro, Argentina – do great harm and are profoundly illegitimate. Trying to compensate for this absence of legitimacy by getting investors to adhere to a few principles is deceitful.
Invest in food sovereignty!
RAI is out of step with the times. The whole approach to so-called agricultural development that it embodies – a greenhouse gas pumping, fossil fuel guzzling, biodiversity depleting, water privatising, soil eroding, community impoverishing, genetically modified seed-dependent production system – belongs in the 20th century rubbish heap of destructive, unsustainable development.
Just as our Arab sisters and brothers have been breaking the shackles of old regimes to recover their dignity and space for self-determination, we need to break the shackles of the corporate agriculture and food system.
Rather than be codified and sanctioned, land grabbing must be immediately stopped and banned. This means that parliaments and national governments should
  • urgently suspend all large-scale land transactions, 
  • rescind the deals already signed, 
  • return the misappropriated lands to communities and 
  • outlaw land grabbing. 
Governments must also stop oppressing and criminalising peoples for defending their lands and release detained activists.
We reiterate the demands made repeatedly by social movements, CSOs and numerous academics to urgently implement actions agreed at the 2006 International Conference on Agrarian Reform and Rural Development – the most authoritative and consensual multilateral framework for land and natural resources – as well as the conclusions of the 2008 International Assessment of Agricultural Knowledge, Science and Technology for Development. We equally call on the CFS to adopt the FAO Guidelines on the Governance of Land and Natural Resources which are strongly rooted in human rights law so that they can be effectively used to protect and fulfill the rights to land and natural resources of all rural and urban constituencies at national and international levels.
It is obvious to us that a broad consensus has grown over the past several years around the real solutions to hunger, the food crisis and climate chaos, namely that:
  • peasant agriculture, family farming, artisanal fishing and indigenous food procurement systems that are based on ecological methods and short marketing circuits are the ways forward toward sustainable, healthy and livelihood-enhancing food systems; 
  • production, distribution and consumption systems must radically change to fit the carrying capacity of the earth; 
  • new agricultural policies that respond to the needs, proposals and direct control of small-scale food producers have to replace the current top-down, corporate-led, neoliberal regimes; and 
  • genuine agrarian and aquatic reform programmes have to be carried through to return land and ecosystems to local communities.
This is the path to food sovereignty and justice, quite the opposite of "responsible" land grabbing. And we will continue to push and fight for it with many allies the world over.

The tremendous amounts of evidence showing fraud, deceit, criminal activities has led to a warring nation to use it's tactics against many in the world today.........and this is added for the records and continuing the oppositions of the criminal deviants operating a corporation band of thieves in moving, acting as if they were passing legal laws in a foreign land outside of their own.

Ko Hawaii Pae Aina exists.........the integrity of Neil Abercrombie and his band of conspirators activities continue against all in the Hawaiian Islands because they fail to protect the lives, safety, health of all in the Islands and are causing harm to everyone here due to their moves to accommodate corporations using toxins, GMO's, acceptance of the U.S. military tests, toxins, depleted uranium/ DU, genocide issues, etc. which is not in the best interests of all humankind in Hawaii and the World today.  

The following information is accessible at the links for all to see, read, understand, recognize, and which supports the facts that we, the Alii families, subjects, aboriginal Hawaiians, kanaka maoli were not in the wrong and have been lied to over time by dishonest men and women set in place to criminally assume, pirate what is not belonging to them.

Queen Liliuokalani was under duress.

Central Pacific stock falls;
Fitch cuts rating
By Dave Segal, Star-Bulletin
Central Pacific Financial Corp.'s stock lost more than 20 percent of its value yesterday as it continued to free-fall on the heels of last week's announcement that it lost $183.1 million in the third quarter and that it was anticipating enforcement action to be taken against it by federal and state regulators due to the bank's financial condition.
The parent of Central Pacific Bank received more bad news after the market closed. Fitch Ratings downgraded the long-term issuer default rating of the bank to "CCC" from "B," and Standard & Poor's said, effective Monday, it will replace Central Pacific in the SmallCap 600 Index with Compellent Technologies Inc., a network storage solution provider.
Bank officials did not return calls yesterday for comment.
Central Pacific's shares have given up more than half their value since the bank said Thursday its commercial real estate portfolio in the California and Hawaii markets continues to deteriorate and that it expects the economic conditions to persist through the coming quarters. The company also said it expects to enter into a formal agreement with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. and theHawaii Division of Financial Institutions over the bank's need to address its asset quality, capital needs and liquidity.
Fitch said the downgrade of the bank's rating reflects the significant escalation of credit problems both in its California and Hawaii loan portfolios.
"While Fitch expected the company to endure increased credit stress in its Hawaii portfolio, as well as in its still-sizable exposure to California real estate, the recent level of deterioration exceeded Fitch's original projections," the agency said. "Credit deterioration, which is not expected to abate in the near term, has generated sizable losses and caused considerable erosion to the bank's capital position.
"Fitch believes that the company will continue to generate material losses, which will continue to erode capital and reduce the benefit of any potential capital augmentation."
Central Pacific Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Ron Migita said Thursday the bank is exploring all options to raise additional capital, including a public offering and selling shares to private-equity investors.
"We're raising capital to meet the challenge in a difficult economic climate so we can navigate through this downturn and emerge as a stronger bank when the economy recovers," Migita said. "We think things on the mainland appear to be stabilizing somewhat, but the Hawaii economy traditionally has lagged the mainland, so until such time that the (Hawaii) unemployment level stops increasing (7.2 percent in September) and jobs are being created, I think we're going to be in for some challenging times here in Hawaii."
But Fitch said that the prospects for raising sufficient equity from external sources to absorb expected losses and meet enhanced regulatory capital requirements are limited.
Fitch said the bank is now in violation of existing regulatory agreements, which call for the bank to maintain enhanced capital levels that exceed the minimum regulatory requirements to be considered "well capitalized." Fitch said the bank no longer is maintaining a leverage ratio of 9 percent.
S&P, meanwhile, said it was replacing Central Pacific in the index because the company's market share had fallen below the minimum market capitalization of $35 million to remain in the index. The market cap necessary to be added to the index is currently $200 million.
Central Pacific's stock fell 21.3 percent, or 30 cents, to $1.11 yesterday on the New York Stock Exchange after trading as low as $1.04. Its market cap is now $31.9 million.
Analyst Joseph Gladue of B. Riley also cut his rating on the stock to "neutral" from "buy" and lowered his target price to $1.50 from $3.50, while analyst Robert Bohlen of Keefe, Bruyette and Wood maintained his rating on the stock at "market perform" but lowered his target price to $1 from $1.90.

Sneak Attack: Inouye hides Akaka Bill in Policy Rider -- just after “Grazing Permits”
By Andrew Walden :: 568 Views :: Hawaii State News
 , Hawaii State Politics
 , National News
 , National Politics
by Andrew Walden
Dan Inouye’s Akaka Bill sneak attack was smacked down in December, 2009
 and again in December, 2010
 —but he’s back for one more try.
Inouye’s latest version of the Akaka Bill popped up October 14. It is a single paragraph. Buried on page 124 in a proposed Senate Appropriations Committee draft bill for “Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations
 ” it comes just after “Extension of Grazing Permits”:
HAWAIIAN RECOGNITION
SEC. 420. Now and hereafter, in exercise of the authority delegated under sections 441, 442, 463 and 465 of the Revised Statutes (43 U.S.C. 1457
 , 25 U.S.C. 2
 and 9
 ), the community recognized by and enrolled pursuant to Act 195 (26th Haw. Leg. Sess. (2011)) may be recognized and listed under section 104 of Public Law 103–454 but not entitled to programs and services available to entities thereunder unless a statute governing such a program or service expressly provides otherwise.
Section 104 of Public Law 103-454, also known as the “Federally Recognized Indian Tribe Act of 1994” requires the Secretary of the Interior to maintain a list of Federally Recognized Indian Tribes.
Act 195 created a five-member commission—now headed by gambling advocate
 ,Clinton Asian Money Scandal player
 , and Broken Trust figure John Waihee
 --to enroll “Qualified” native Hawaiian constituents according to a long list of criteria which exclude about 73% of native Hawaiians
 .
Steven Duffield, former Chief Counsel to Sen. John Kyl (R-AZ) told Hawaii Reporter October 24
 :
"For many years, the Akaka Bill advocates insisted that the law would just allow a process for those of 'Native Hawaiian' blood to decide a path forward. That was always a farce, and this new provision proves it. The appropriations language would lead to only one result: Native Hawaiians becoming an Indian tribe, with all the public expense and jurisdictional nightmares that go with that status."
Inouye’s version, in conjunction with Act 195, creates an instant Indian tribe with no restriction on the right to claim legal jurisdiction and exclude state law enforcement over its members. It was these characteristics, introduced beginning with the 2009 version of the Akaka Bill, which forced long-time Akaka Bill supporters Governor Linda Lingle and Attorney General Mark Bennett to reverse their stance and come out in opposition.
When native Hawaiian protesters accused Inouye of trying to sneak the Akaka Bill into a 2009 defense appropriations bill, Inouye called the allegation “nonsensical” and claimed the process for the Akaka Bill “has been fully transparent.” Senator Akaka told reporters: "It is very frustrating that opponents intentionally seek to spread misinformation about the bill. This should call their credibility into question once again." But two years later theStar-Advertiser headline is: “Akaka OKs Native Hawaiian recognition strategy
 .”
In the text of his statement
 Thursday, October 27 to a convention of the Hawaiian Civic Clubs, Akaka told convention-goers: “As a result of the enrollment process which is already beginning under Act 195, I am now reviewing my bill and looking for ways to streamline it.”
Akaka didn’t see fit to mention that his bill had two weeks earlier been “streamlined” down to a single paragraph and slipped in right after Grazing Permits by Senator “Transparency
 ”.
The only thing that is “transparent” is the admission by Akaka Gang leaders that the Akaka Tribe is not a tribe. Hawaiians are not and never have been tribal.
Inouye’s one-paragraph Akaka Bill refers to a ”community”, not a tribe. This follows several months of candid admissions by Akaka Gang leaders. The Star-Advertisereditorialized July 11
 :
…passing the state law is, in fact, a declaration spoken through representative government, codification of a longstanding majority position that Native Hawaiians represent Hawaii's "first nation," that regardless of the nontribal organization of the Hawaiian kingdomthey are as deserving of recognition as indigenous people as any tribe or Native Alaskan corporation….
…becoming a "qualified Native Hawaiian" eligible for the roll also means a person has maintained "a significant cultural, social or civic connection to the Native Hawaiian community and wishes to participate in the organization of the Native Hawaiian government entity."
This definition is a more recent variant, and an improvement on purely race-based criteria. National identity should require some cultural affinity; it's the bond that holds people together and help sustain the process of government-making through its inevitable conflict.
The Hawaii Tribune Herald July 17 explains
 :
Maui Rep. Gil Keith-Agaran, said the effort was intended to create a political distinction, rather than a racial one. "If you look at the (Hawaiian recognition) bills, it was capital-N "Native Hawaiian" rather than the small-N "native Hawaiian," which deals more with blood quanta, Keith-Agaran said. "We stayed away from the 50 percent or whatever blood quantum" requirements that appear elsewhere.
Sen. Malama Solomon, an Akaka Gang leader, self-described “friend” of the Big Island’slargest methamphetamines importer
 , and gambling advocate recently busted forbulldozing Hawaiian archaeological sites
 , explained July 1
 : Hawaiians are very different from the American tribes; we had a kingdom that was recognized by the United States and many other nations around the world before the overthrow.”
Solomon made similar comments in today’s Star-Advertiser
 :
Hawaiians belonged to a kingdom, not an Indian tribe, so it has been difficult to fit Hawaiians into federal Indian policy for purposes of recognition.
"This is really a unification bill," she said of the state law. "It will start to really identify the nation, because in all of our conversations about sovereignty and self-governance, that is the entity that has been missing, in terms of recognizing who the nation is. And I think that this bill would bring a lot of that to rest."
And who will be in charge of deciding which Hawaiians are “qualified”? Akamai readers will of course instantly recognize Waihee as the author of
 a 1995 proposal to relocate the Broken Trust Bishop Estate Headquarters to the Cheyenne River Sioux Indian Reservation. Instead of moving to an Indian Reservation the Broken Trust gang is trying to assemble an Indian reservation around themselves. Waihee is in charge
 of ensuring that only politically trustworthy cronies are deemed “qualified.”
Now, with a single paragraph slipped into page 124 of an 181 page bill, Senator Dan Inouye is attempting to trick Congress into ratifying the entire scheme. And once again, Hawaii is depending on Republican Senators to save us from our own Congressional Delegation.

THE HAWAIIAN DISGRACE


CASE HISTORY HAWAII


SHAMEFUL CONSPIRACY (PIRACY)

SAYS GOVERNMENT SUPPORTS TRUSTS - President Cleveland Gave Hawaii Back to Queen Liliuokalani

This is Pilipo's Message to also remind many:
Aloha kakou,
If you have seen the new Fake State versions of Akakadized, you are missing a great circus. In the year 2000, the Hawaii U. S. Congress members came home to Hawaii to "Island-wide" Public Hearings on the proposed Akaka Bill but never left Oahu. The Bill then with all its professionalism was primitive compared to what is now at the Fake State 2011 Legislature. SB1, SB1520 and HB 1627 all are proposed Legislation at the current session. There may even be others. This is sometimes known as "miss the chicken, crack the duck" syndrome, basically what ever gets pass has the same effect. 
 
These Bills may be slightly worded differently but they all mean the same. It is almost like voting for Statehood again, where no matter what version you choose, you were cooked. For example, lets take a look at HB1627. From its first page, Section 1, Chapter "First Nation Government" is incomplete where it only discloses what the United States did to make themselves look good and descent but fails to disclose what the United States did to make the Hawaiian Nation look bad and unworthy. The First Nation of Hawaii did not begin the day after the alleged overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom Nation January 17, 1893. The First Nation began with the consolidation of the Hawaiian Sandwich Islands by King Kamehameha the Great in 1809 but that is mute.
 
Section 2 of the proposed bill is Definitionsas used in this chapter: glosses-over of what is the definition of a Native Hawaiian. Existing Federal laws certify a Native Hawaiian is one with at least 50 % aboriginal (Kanaka Maoli) blood (koko) However, "First nation government" means the governing entity organized pursuant to this chapter by the qualified Native Hawaiianconstituents, and "Native Hawaiian membership organization" means an organization that lists five activities. But the camel's backbreaker is the definition of "Qualified Native Hawaiian constituent,which means, prior to the recognition by the United States of the Native Hawaiian governing entity, an individual who satisfies the following criteria and who makes a written statement certifying that the individual "IS", not and/or, an individual that meets twenty (20) specific conditions which designate one being "qualified Native Hawaiian constituent or member of.
 
This is "Akakadized" All the bills say the same ting. They are a 'Ajinimoto" versions of the Akaka Initiative of 2000, aka the Akaka Tribe. But too late for there is already a Hawaiian Tribe that is in agreement with the Department of Indian Affairs known as the Hou Hawaiians back in the 1997. These bills are a conglomerate  of ingredients that reads like a Chinese menu or a Pharmaceutical remedy for cancer. Yes, the Akaka Pill that will once and for all cure all Hawaiians ills. 
 
But the final nail in the coffin is definition (4) "Is a citizen of the United States residing in the State of Hawaii or resides outside the State of Hawaii.   This mandate coincides with the voting requirements in the formulation of the Republic of Hawaii in 1894 where voters where required to swear an oath of allegiance to the newly formed Republic and its Constitution before they could register to vote.
 
The original Akaka Bill could not muster Constitutionality, nor can any other form of legislation by the Fake State Hawaii Legislature. Above and beyond all, the Akaka Initiative and all forms of legislation and enactments concerning the the Hawaiian Nation of Ko Hawaii Pae Aina are based upon fraud that has perpetuated theft for 118 years.        
 
I have sent you this in case you are falling asleep and in need of agitation to wake you up.
 
 malama ke kino
pilipo,

Hawaiian National (1936)

Bill to “Ban” Organic Farming

Youtube
Monday, March 9, 2009

Bill is to long to post, so I linked to a .gov pdf of it
Pay special attention to
    * Section 3 which is the definitions portion of the bill-read in it’s entirety.
    * section 103, 206 and 207- read in it’s entirety.
What it Does:
    * Legally binds state agriculture depts to enforcing federal guidelines effectively taking away the states power to do anything other than being food police for the federal dept.
    * Effectively criminalizes organic farming but doesn’t actually use the word organic.
    * Effects anyone growing food even if they are not selling it but consuming it.
    * Effects anyone producing meat of any kind including wild game.
    * Legislation is so broad based that every aspect of growing or producing food can be made illegal.  There are no specifics which is bizarre considering how long the legislation is.
    * Section 103 is almost entirely about the administrative aspect of the legislation.  It will allow the appointing of officials from the factory farming corporations and lobbyists and classify them as experts and allow them to determine and interpret the legislation.  Who do you think they are going to side with?
    * Section 206 defines what will be considered a food production facility and what will be enforced up all food production facilities.  The wording is so broad based that a backyard gardener could be fined and more.
    * Section 207 requires that the state’s agriculture dept act as the food police and enforce the federal requirements.  This takes away the states power and is in violation of the 10th amendment.

Budget Issues
Damian Paletta reported in today’s Wall Street Journal that, “The White House notified Congress on Thursday that the government was near its $15.194 trillion borrowing limit, ushering in the debut of procedural theater in which the debt limit will ultimately be raised even if Congress votes against it.
“Formal notification by the administration gives Congress 15 days to disapprove of an increase, or the debt ceiling would automatically adjust up an additional $1.2 trillion.
“But under procedures resulting from last August’s budget agreement that sought to avoid a government default, President Barack Obama could issue a veto, and the ceiling would rise even if Congress moves to block it.”
The Journal article explained that, “The government likely wouldn’t need to raise the debt ceiling again until late 2012 or early 2013.
“As of Tuesday, U.S. debt was just $25 million below the debt ceiling. The Treasury Department already had begun emergency measures to delay hitting the debt limit while it waited for Congress to return from its holiday break for a vote.”
Today’s article added that, “Congress keeps increasing the debt ceiling because the U.S. government spends more money than it brings in through tax receipts. The government ran a $1.3 trillion deficit in each of the past two fiscal years, though the deficit is expected to shrink slightly this year as the economy improves.”
And yesterday’s Need-to-Know Daily Email from National Journal reported that, “House and Senate staffers who are working on the conference on the payroll-tax bill convened on Wednesday as a group, even though the 20 payroll-tax conferees themselves have not yet met. Sources tell National Journal the meeting ran for about 30 minutes and members plan to meet sometime during the week of Jan. 24—the week the Senate returns from recess.”
Ed O’Keefe noted earlier this week at the Federal Eye Blog (Washington Post) that, “Whether you believe the size of the government is too big, too small or just right, make no mistake: Strict spending restrictions enacted as part of last summer’s debt negotiations coupled with a White House eager to demonstrate a serious commitment to spending cuts means several agencies are trimming the payroll.
In the most aggressive reorganization of a non-security agency announced to date, the Agriculture Department unveiled plans Tuesday to close 259 domestic offices across the country and seven overseas offices, mostly in tiny rural farming communities that will be served by other nearby locations.
The closures are part of plans to save about $150 million annually in the department’s $145 billion budget. Already $90 million has been saved by cutting travel and supplies; the closures could save up to $60 million, officials said.”
Rep. Collin Peterson, D-Minn., the Ranking Member of the House Agriculture Committee was a guest on yesterday’s AgriTalk radio program with Mike Adams.  During their discussion yesterday, Rep. Peterson briefly commented on USDA plans to close some FSA (Farm Service Agency) offices- related audio here (1:19).

Agricultural Economy (Government Reports, Food Prices)
news release yesterday from USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) stated that, “Hindered by unfavorable planting and growing conditions during 2011, U.S. farmers produced a smaller crop than the previous year according to the Crop Production 2011 Summary released today by [NASS].
“Depending on location, producers in the United States battled everything from drought and above normal temperatures to heavy rains and lowland flooding which led to decreased production of corn, soybeans, cotton and wheat – the first time such a year-to-year decrease has occurred in all four commodities since the 2002 crop year.”
The release indicated that, “Corn production totaled 12.4 billion bushels, down 1 percent from 2010. Corn yield in 2011 is estimated at 147.2 bushels per acre, 5.6 bushels below last year’s average yield. Area harvested, at 84.0 million acres, is up 3 percent from 2010.
Soybean production for 2011 totaled 3.06 billion bushels, down 8 percent 2010. The average soybean yield is estimated at 41.5 bushels per acre, 2.0 bushels below last year’s yield. Harvested area for soybeans in 2011, at 73.6 million acres, is down 4 percent from 2010.”
More specifically, an update posted yesterday at the farmdocdaily blog (“USDA Reports Negative for Crop Prices,” by University of Illinois Agricultural Economist Darrel Good), stated that, “Today, the USDA released the December Grain Stocks report, the Annual Crop Production report, the Winter Wheat Seedings report, and the monthly WASDE reportThe reports reflected a more abundant supply situation for corn and particularly for soybeans than had been anticipated. Wheat estimates provided a more mixed picture.”
The update noted that, “Year ending stocks of corn in the U.S. are projected at 846 million bushels, nearly identical to last month’s projection, but the forecast of the marketing year average price was reduced by $.20, in a range of $5.70 to $6.70.”
The farmdoc daily update added that, “Year ending stocks of U.S. soybeans are projected at 275 million bushels, 45 million larger than last month’s forecast, and the marketing year average farm price is forecast in a range of $10.95 to $12.45, compared to last month’s projection of $10.70 to $12.70.”
(Note that a summary of key variables for corn from yesterday’s WASDE report is available here, while a soybean summary can be found here).
Yesterday’s update pointed out that, “Prices were expected to decline sharply following the release of the reports since the trade did not anticipate the estimates very well. The progress of the South American corn and soybean crops will now be a major focus of the markets.”
AP writer Roxana Hegeman reported yesterday that, “Wheat prices tumbled Thursday as a government report showed the nation’s farmers had planted winter wheat on much more of their land this season amid last year’s higher prices and easing drought conditions in Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas.
“Across the country, the amount of winter wheat planted for harvest in 2012 was estimated at 41.9 million acres, the National Agricultural Statistics Service reported Thursday. That is an increase of 3 percent from 2011 and up 12 percent from 2010.”
In a more general summary of the implications of the data contained in yesterday’s government reports, Ian Berry and Scott Kilman reported yesterday at The Wall Street Journal Online that, “Higher global grain supplies could signal more downward pressure on food prices after an influential U.S. government report pointed to larger-than-expected domestic stocks and lifted harvest estimates for Europe and Asia.
“A raft of monthly and quarterly reports released Thursday by the U.S. Department of Agriculture eased concerns about the impact of drought on crops in South America, sending ripples through the agribusiness sector as grain futures fell sharply.”
Likewise, Gregory Meyer and Emiko Terazono reported yesterday at The Financial Times Online that, “[T]he US reported that its domestic production and stocks of corn, a key commodity for the global food chain, were higher than previously thought, sending prices sharply down.”
The FT article added that, “Darrel Good, agricultural economist at the University of Illinois, said consumers would see stable food prices. ‘The increase in commodity prices that we have experienced in recent years has now been pretty much fully passed through to the consumer.’”
The AP reported yesterday that, “Pricier corn has been a key driver of food inflation this year. When grain prices rise, food processors and meat companies tend to pass on the higher costs to consumers. It usually takes about six months for changes in corn prices to trickle all the way down to the retail level.
“The USDA estimates that food prices rose between 3.25 percent and 3.75 percent last year.
The USDA predicts that food inflation will slow, dropping to between 2.5 percent and 3.5 percent for all of 2012, according to its most recent estimate.”
Meanwhile, Bloomberg writer Rudy Ruitenberg reported yesterday that, “World food prices fell to a 14-month low in December, led by declines in grains, sugar and oilseeds, the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization said.
“An index of 55 food items fell 2.4 percent to 211 points from a revised 216.1 points in November, the Rome-based FAO said on its website today. The month-earlier figure was revised from 215 points, while October was restated at 215.8 points from 216.
Food prices will probably decline this year, Jose Graziano da Silva, who became FAO director general this month, said Jan. 3.”
In other developments, a news release yesterday from University of Missouri Extension stated that, “Against a backdrop of economic uncertainty, U.S. agriculture last year stood as a shining example of growth.
“2011 set records, with net farm income topping $100 billion for the first time ever.
“‘Prices are up across the board for all the major crops, and while we’ve seen cost of production increases overall, they haven’t increased as rapidly as the prices of crops people are selling,’ said Pat Westhoff, director of the University of Missouri Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute (FAPRI). ‘Even corrected for inflation, farm profits are at or near the highest levels since the 1970s. That is indeed a very good outcome overall.’”
After additional analysis, yesterday’s news item concluded by pointing out: “‘There are lots of things that could go wrong in front of us, and instead of $5-$6 corn, $3-$4 corn could return,’ Westhoff said. ‘We’re very much in a volatile situation, and what people think about the markets today will be different than six months or a year from now.’”

Policy Issues
As noted earlier, Rep. Collin Peterson was a guest on yesterday’s AgriTalk radio program.  In addition to remarks on USDA budget developments, Rep. Peterson also explained how he sees the next Farm Bill progressing (audio- 4:35).
And Rep. Peterson also discussed proposed changes in dairy policy in more detail (audio- 2:52).
In other policy news, Reuters writer Sybille de La Hamaide reported earlier this week that, “The world body in charge of fighting animal diseases called for action against widespread abuse of antibiotics in livestock farming, which leads to drug-resistant bacteria, but warned on Wednesday that a ban would leave the world short of protein.
“‘The use of antibiotics is today essential to ensure sufficient animal production to feed the planet. Without antibiotics there would supply problems of animal protein for the human population,’ Bernard Vallat, director of the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) told a news conference.”
Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Times editorial board opined today that, “When the U.S. Food and Drug Administration restricted the routine use of a class of antibiotics known as cephalosporins in livestock, it picked an easy target. The agency’s move is better than nothing, but nonetheless it is a reminder of the FDA’s achingly slow and timid efforts to wean agriculture off the overuse of important medications. Call it a tiptoe forward after a recent giant step in the other direction and a long era of standing in one place.”

Biofuels
The editorial board at the Chicago Tribune stated yesterday that, “As 2011 gave way to 2012, Congress let tax credits and import protections expire for one of its most pampered industries: ethanol. Now, there’s a good reason for fireworks on New Year’s Eve.
“For decades, the motor fuel brewed from corn has enjoyed an uninterrupted run of corporate welfare. That’s finally being curbed. But don’t think Congress has entirely put economic and fiscal realities in front of political calculations. The ethanol industry still has plenty of influence and plenty of government-directed advantages in the market.”
The Tribune pointed out that, “Example: Back in the boom time of the mid-2000s, technology entrepreneur Vinod Khosla led an investment group that convinced the Feds to put up $46.3 million in grants and $42 million in loan guarantees for a factory in Georgia that would turn wood pulp into ethanol.
The plant went bust last year. The shuttered facility has just been sold for $5.1 million … to another Khosla-affiliated group, which pledges to use it for a different alternative fuel operation. No wonder Khosla is a billionaire and Uncle Sam is $15 trillion in debt.”
The unusually lengthy editorial also indicated that, “Alas, the cellulosic ethanol industry has received an estimated $1.5 billion in federal subsidies … and come up dry. No cellulosic ethanol is being produced in commercial quantities. Not a drop. Even Solyndra, the infamous green-energy company that burned through hundreds of millions in tax subsidies, at least sold some solar panels.
“This page understands that government support for research and development is crucial to American innovation. No one expects a perfect track record. No one expects technological breakthroughs to proceed on a convenient timetable. But buying into the same promises, again and again? What a waste.
“The government shows no sign of turning off the cellulosic-ethanol spigot. Last month, the Energy Department approved $80 million for a wood-to-ethanol plant in Michigan. So the bureaucrats who backed Georgia pine (See: Khosla, Vinod) with your money now are betting your money on Michigan hardwood,” the editorial said.
