Refuse to Eat These Foods - They Could Destroy Your Reproductive Organs

Story at-a-glance

• Avoid genetically engineered (GE) corn and soy, which have already been shown to reduce fertility in animals
• Private firm plans release of genetically modified (GM) mosquitoes into the environment of the Florida Keys, sometime this month
• In an effort to reduce the mosquito population, the mosquitoes are genetically modified with a gene designed to kill them unless given an antibiotic known as tetracycline. Offspring of the GM mosquitoes will thus die before reaching adulthood
• Genetic engineering (GE) of both plants and animals is in full swing. As a result, virtually ALL processed foods and beverages contain at least one genetically engineered ingredient. Animal-based foods are also affected, such as meat and eggs, as conventionally-raised livestock are typically fed GE feed; the toxins of which tend to bioaccumulate in the animal
• What will happen when we increasingly begin to replace natural-born life forms with genetically engineered versions? Based on the best evidence available, that the end result is bound to be less than ideal for human survival
• Animal studies have linked GE crops to a wide variety of health problems, from abnormal immune responses and organ disruptions to reproductive problems in both males and females. Glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup, used in large doses on GE RoundupReady crops, has also been linked to fertility problems in male and female rats, along with a 35 percent drop in testosterone levels at otherwise non-toxic glyphosate levels

 

A Video Game Gone Horribly Wrong?

It may already be “game over” for what is possibly the most controversial video game of all time. It’s called “Depopulus” –where players assume the role of a secret planetary ruler. But while this does not at first appear to break any new ground in video gaming, there’s a big twist around the corner:

Rather than being charged with the task of building a modern, industrial world from scratch—just as in Sid Meier’s upcoming new release “Civilization V”—the challenge posed by Depopulus couldn’t be more diametrically different. Instead players start with a technically advanced but overpopulated world and have to get rid of 90% of its population—all without raising any alarm bells.

Frozen Planet Faked? David Attenborough Explains 'We Did It For The Polar Bears'

Sir David Attenborough has weighed into the Frozen Planet row to defend the use of footage of polar bear cubs which was not filmed in the Arctic, but in a German zoo.

Fans of the BBC documentary were outraged to learn that the ice nest where polar bears were filmed was a man-made, and that commentary by "national treasure" Attenborough was carefully scripted to avoid making explicit references to the cub's birthplace.

The birth of the polar cubs was a magical centrepiece to episode five of Frozen Planet, with viewers invited into the womb of ice where "the newest polar bears in the world" were seen snow white and blinking.

The BBC defended its treatment of the footage, with the show's producer Kathryn Jeffs explaining that it was both impractical and dangerous to film the polar bears inside the ice nest.

Sir David Attenborough supported her defence, adding that the decision was made for "the safety of the animal".

He told ITV1's This Morning: "If you had tried to put a camera in the wild in a polar bear den, she would either have killed the cub or she would have killed the cameraman, one or the other."

Although Frozen Planet has been criticised for not making its explanation transparent, Attenborough said talking about the zoo during the show's would have ruined Frozen Planet's atmosphere. He added: "It's not falsehood and we don't keep it secret either."

Former drug company scientist Helen Ratajczak recently created a firestorm of debate from all sides of the vaccine-autism issue when she published her comprehensive review of autism research. However, her 79-page review contains one detail that could easily go unnoticed—five words that reveal one of the most shocking secrets Big Pharma has ever kept from you.

China is using its growing economic strength to buy up strategic assets in Europe, from companies to government debt and infrastructure contracts. A new brief published by ECFR – ‘The scramble for Europe’ – explores the extent and nature of China’s game-changing presence in Europe.

China has moved on from buying African ports and building Saudi railways, taking advantage of its economic strength and European weakness to buy up Europe. Its acquisitions include infrastructure such as ports and railways, symbolic car companies like Volvo and MG, and high tech firms. It has bought large quantities of debt in the EU’s troubled periphery and won government contracts while excluding European companies from bidding for Chinese contracts.

The Age of Treason: 1958 Book Exposes Chemical Attack on Humanity

Old-Thinker News | August 19, 2010

Dr. R. Swinburne Clymer was in many ways a man ahead of his time, and most certainly controversial. He was attacked by the medical establishment for connecting diet with disease and mental health in his 1917 book Dietetics. Dr. Clymer received his medical degree in 1902 from the College of Medicine and Surgery in Chicago and began practicing Osteopathy. Accusations of fraud surround Dr. Clymer's career, including this 1923 edition of the Journal of the American Medical Association which claims that, "Our records fail to show that this man was ever regularly graduated by any reputable medical college." What Clymer had to say more than likely had something to do with the denouncement that he received from the medical establishment.
