Monsanto Corporation Gets Owned By 11 Yr Old Boy?

5

Birke Baehr is 11, but he has the wisdom of someone five times his age. Birke is on a mission at the TEDx Next Generation Asheville conference, to persuade people to eat organic, say no to GMOs and shop at local farmers markets. He explains what GMOs are in a confident and entertaining way. “They might put the DNA of a fish into the DNA of a tomato,” he says. “Don’t get me wrong, I like fish and tomatoes, but this is just creepy.”

“I wanted to be in the NFL”, Birke says. “Now I want to be an organic farmer.” The audience applaud. Birke’s speech is short but full of passion and very entertaining. He covers a lot of ground in just a few minutes, from the contamination of the water supply to GMO cancer cases in animals, false advertising and lies about happy farms with green rolling hills. He also dispels the myth that organic food is expensive, in his own unique way: “Put it this way, we can pay the farmer, or we can pay the hospital.” Well said, Birke. What a bright kid. Did we mention he’s home-schooled?

Watch this little genius performing his amazing speech here:  monsanto owned by 11 year old

The Coolest Gang Of The World ‘BACA’ – Bikers Against Child Abuse

7

When a child is being abused, the situation is nothing short of terrifying in its truest sense of the word. Today, thousands upon thousands of cases present to the courts to hear the stories of children being hurt and abused, usually by a family member or someone they once trusted. Many more cases are unheard, unknown, or fall through the cracks of a system to strained to cope. BikersAgainstChildAbuse

This is where BACA comes into play. BACA stands for Bikers Against Child Abuse Inc. BACA is a tax-exempt non-profit organization dedicated to the protection of those children who have been abused in one form or another. They formed in 1995 to dedicate themselves to providing support, safety and aid to children who had been sexually, physically and emotionally abused. It is not a paid position for the bikers involved, but one where the sacrifice of their own time and sometimes their own funds is witnessed.

Essentially, BACA dedicate themselves to “protect and secure a child’s basic right to a happy childhood.” 3454230305_532f0a0bcb

BACA provides where the system fails, and it isn’t an uncommon sight to see 20 or 30 bikes roll down the street to a child’s house to provide a presence and “brotherhood” to the child, letting them know that they now have a family who will attend to their basic needs. Two members are normally assigned to the child as case workers who will touch base on a weekly basis. The child will also have access to professionals such as therapists, who would otherwise not qualify, due to their inability to provide enough evidence to the systems already in place. 0408b

BACA are widely recognizable in the community across the United States now, having formed multiple chapters where gaining membership is only through a stringent process that can take up to a year. The police also embrace this service, supporting them with a police presence when needed with initial visits to a child’s neighborhood. This usually takes form of talking with those who have questions, keeping the situation calm and informing people of what BACA does. RthHovg

Unfortunately BACA is dependent solely on donations. They refuse to implement annual dues as their belief is that no child should have to pay to feel safe. The main costs are usually for a therapist to assist the child, and some members have been noted to have contributed their own funds to assist. This is a good cause. This is something that takes off where government support finishes because the child is too scared to testify against their perpetrator, and hence doesn’t qualify for traditional support. BACA fills that void, and they also now have statistics that show a child is four times more likely to testify once being involved with BACA.

FBI Report Accidentally Exposes the Severity of the Police State

11

Written by: Carey Wedler at theantimedia.org

 

A recently published FBI report accidentally proves that while the police claim cops face growing threats from rowdy populationslike in Fergusonthe opposite is true. The report presents law enforcement deaths in 2013.

The report found that across the entire country, only 76 LEOs were killed in “line-of-duty” incidents. 27 died as a result of “felonious” acts and 49 officers died inaccidentsnamely, automobile (ironically, of the 23 killed in car accidents, 14 were not wearing seat beltsa violation for which cops routinely ticket drivers). More officers die from accidents than actual murders on the job. The report also outright admits that intentional murders of cops were down from 2004 and 2009.

Further, 49,851 officers were assaulteda statistic that seemingly proves police are at risk. 29.2%, or 14,556, were actually injured (an admittedly high number). Still, a suspect fact is that 79.8% of the time, “assailants used personal weapons (hands, fists, feet, etc.).” This means that in a vast majority of cases, there was no physical evidence that assault occurred (outside of potential bruises and cuts,but this information is not public). Punches and kicks can be damaging, but nowhere near firearms and knives, which constituted a very small percentage of “assaults.” The report also does not specify what constitutes an “injury,” making designations of injury potentially arbitrary and subjective.

This means that the common police tactic of misrepresenting scuffles and charging people with assault could be at work (such as when a cop squeezed the breast of an Occupy protester so hard he left a bruise and in the chaos, she accidentally elbowed a cop. She went to jail for “assaulting” an officer). Of course, it’s a possibility that all 49,851 officers were simply “doing their jobs,” but at the very least it is important to be skeptical. b21_15207138

But besides direct contradictions to the logic behind institutional myths of heroic cops and dangerous bad guys, what are the implications of this FBI report?

First, that police are schizophrenic in their belief that they are in danger (this fear is proven in the recent Ferguson protests and presence of the National Guard). The overzealous militarization of local cops is enough to prove that they might as well be hiding under blankies from the American populace in spite of the fact thatviolent crime has been dropping for decades.

However, considering how well cops are armed and how efficiently the justice system protects them from prosecution for their crimes, they prove to be paranoid. 27 police officers in a country with over 300 million people died last year. Law enforcement deaths-by-murder are included in the 49,851 “assaults” against officers, which means that .05 (half a percent) died as a result of alleged attacks. Crime against cops has dropped to a 50 year low. It’s more dangerous to drive a car than be a cop (this is bolstered by the fact that the number of cops who died in car accidents almost equals the total number of cops murdered23 to 27).

Second, militarization is working for the police. It is not working for the rest of us. Though there is little reliable, official data about the number of people police kill every year, tenuous reports claim it is around 400. This is already almost 15 times more than police who are intentionally killed. However, the 400 figure is a result of 17,000 local police agencies being allowed to self-report. The numbers could be far higher.

As Tech Dirt said of a 2008 FBI report that found cops had killed 391 people in 2007:

“That count only includes homicides that occurred during the commission of a felony. This total doesn’t include justifiable homicides committed by police officers against people not committing felonies and also doesn’t include homicides found to be not justifiable. But still, this severe undercount far outpaces the number of cops killed by civilians.”

The number of “justifiable” homocides was on the rise in 2008 (to be fair, it was rising among private citizens as well) in spite of the inconvenient fact that overall crime has been declining.

Unfortunately, the most important implication of the FBI report is the simple fact that the report exists. When the FBI takes the time to construct a meticulous report (you can read more details here) of all the ways that a tiny percentage of cops were killedbut cannot be bothered to officially count civilian deaths at the hands of cops, the reality is obvious:

The governemnt places a higher priority on their own than on the lives of those they claim to “serve,” “protect,” and “work for.” It cares more about exonerating the police of their crimes than providing justice to those they abuse. There is no justice when the criminal is the cop.

The Biggest Scandal in America Is It’s Corporate Controlled Media

3

Header Image Source: Deesillustration.com

Written by: Eric Zuesse at theantimedia.org

 

How many Americans know that the current regime in Ukraine was installed in a very bloody February 2014 coup d’etat, that was planned in the U.S. White House, and overseen by an Assistant Secretary of State, Victoria Nuland, and run by the CIA.

This coup was carried out for the White House by one of Ukraine’s two racist-fascist, or nazi, political parties, whose founder and leader still controls Ukraine though not officially, even these many months after his coup, and which nazi party has been up to their elbows since then in a genocidal policy to exterminate the people in the region of Ukraine that had voted approximately 90% for the man whom Obama and those nazis overthrew in February. (Click onto that link, and to the more-detailed evidence that’s linked to there, in order to see the ultimate documentations of this entire horrific history, because it is history now, even though the American public were never informed about it while it was news — while and when it was happening, which it still is.)

And how many Americans know that one of the two main suspects in the bringing-down of the Malaysian MH17 airliner over Ukraine on July 17th has been given veto-power over the report that is to be issued from the official ‘investigation’ of the black boxes and other evidence in the case?

The ongoing hiding of all of this from the American public is perhaps even more stunning to the present writer than is the bloody American policy (including  in it) itself.

Virtually all of the ‘news’ editors and producers — the ‘news’ executives, in America’s press — know, and have known all along, that these things are the case, because they’ve been receiving many news-submissions on them, with full and entirely credible documentation each time, ever since February, and have not made any of these facts public; they’ve not published this reality, when it was news, though they are supposed to be news-organizations.

I know this because I am one of the many independent investigative journalists who has been reporting in detail on these matters, throughout this time-period, and whose reports have been submitted to virtually all U.S. ‘news’ media — mainstream and alternative news, liberal and conservative news, Republican and Democratic news. And, with the exception of only about a half-dozen obscure but admirably authentic news-sites on the Internet (which is just a small fraction of the “alternative news” sites), all of this solidly documented information (just click on the links and you’ll see it documented there) has been intentionally withheld, from the American public, by virtually the entirety of the U.S. ‘news’ media.

Was the rigid control over a nation’s press more rigid and more universal in the Soviet Union, or in Nazi Germany, than is the case in today’s United States? One should not simply assume that it was, or that it wasn’t, but instead recognize how extremely far from being a democracy today’s United States has, in fact, become. This is the most shocking realization of all, because it’s the most suppressed news of all — news about the news-suppression by the ‘news’-media.

Regarding that charge of news-suppression in America: among the ‘news’ media to which these news-reports have been regularly submitted and yet never published, have also been specialized ones, such as fair.orgmediamatters.org, and Foreign Policy magazine; and yet even they refuse to report these realities about U.S. foreign policy and its cover-ups, and about the controlled U.S. ‘news’ media — in neither specialized field (neither press-reviews, nor international policy) is it being reported. And, of course, it’s not broadcast in any U.S. national media. That’s how dire the condition of what used to be American democracy has now become.

The biggest news-story of all is thus the one that is, and that will inevitably be, the most suppressed news-story of all: the news-suppression itself. It extends from the major ‘news’-media to the alternative and even to the specialized ‘news’-media.

Edward Snowden, the former CIA and NSA employee and then contractor who went public about the U.S. Government’s violating the 4th Amendment and other U.S. Constitutional provisions regarding Americans’ right to privacy and so forth, addressed on October 20th, a class at Harvard Law School, and he spoke about the impossibility of democracy to exist if there is not informed consent from the public of what the Government is doing, and of what the authentic aims of the Government are in what it is doing and intends to do. He necessarily had to speak from an undisclosed location, because the U.S. Government wants to imprison him (if not worse). He raised the extremely serious question as to whether, and the extent to which, a government can lie to its public and still be a democracy.

That’s the question. How can the public have a government representing informed consent, if the ‘news’ media are constantly, and systematically, lying about the most important things, and covering up that government’s worst, most heinous, crimes? Yet, this is what Americans have today.

The United States is thus no longer a model for any country except for a dictatorship. How likely is it that America’s press will let the American public know this now-established fact?

Something’s wrong — and it’s not people such as Edward Snowden.

For yet another of the many examples of U.S. news-suppression, click here. This interview, 13 years after the news-event, was relegated to C-Span, not aired on ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, or cable-news channels.
