GMO Food Dangers

Are Genetically Engineered Foods and Crops Akin to Weapons of Mass Destruction?

Jeffrey M. Smith is the author of the world's bestselling book on the health dangers of genetically modified organisms (GMOs),

Seeds of Deception: Exposing Industry and Government Lies about the Safety of the Genetically Engineered Foods You're Eating.
His second book, Genetic Roulette: The Documented Health Risks of Genetically Engineered Foods,

is the authoritative work on GMO health dangers. It includes 65 health dangers, linking GMOs in our food to toxic and allergic reactions,
infertility, and damage to virtually every internal organ studied in lab animals.
The book summarizes why ending GM foods must urgently become our world's top food safety priority.

What should every person know about the food they ingest. The documentary "The Future of Food" changed the way we think about food(and continues to do so) by answering this very question.

But, just how has food actually changed? Do we need to worry about genetically modified foods? What about artificial foods? Learn all this more as Kurt Olson, host of the Educational Forum, sits down with Deborah Garcia the award winning creator of "The Future of Food."

Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business
(1985) is a book by educator Neil Postman.

The book's origins lie in a talk Postman gave in 1984. He was participating in a panel on Orwell's 1984 and the contemporary world. In the introduction to his book Postman said that the contemporary world was better reflected by Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, whose public was oppressed by their addiction to amusement, than by Orwell's 1984, where they were oppressed by state control.

Invitation link to the Tragedy and Hope online community

Neil Postman (1931 — 2003) was an American critic and educator. Postman received his B.S. from the State University of New York at Fredonia and his M.A. and Ed.D. from Columbia University. He was the Paulette Goddard Chair of Media Ecology at New York University and chair of the Department of Culture and Communication. His pedagogical and scholarly interests included media and education, as can be seen in many of his seventeen books, including Amusing Ourselves to Death (1985), Conscientious Objections (1988), Technopoly: The Surrender of Culture to Technology (1992), and End of Education (1995). Postman died in 2003.

Believers Beware: Contrary Conditioning
By Paul Verge /
Divergent Films
Recorded December 10, 2009

Points covered in this Interview
1) The New World Order / NWO. Plato’s Republic. Suppress thought. Subjugate the public thru poor education.
2) Agatha Christie: Murder on the Orient Express. Too much evidence = multiple culprits. Plausible deniability.
3) Ego worshippers use hidden knowledge to perpetuate the NWO. Intellectual Elite dumbing down the masses.
4) Socrates / Plato: Allegory of the cave. The illusion works the same today as it was 2500 years ago.
5) Books Vs. Internet research. Eustace Mullins - "Secrets of the Federal Reserve" & "The World Order"
6) "Superclass" using Rhetoric, Fallacy arguments and dumbing the public down.
7) News agencies lying to help protect their advertisers. How the NWO is fed by that relationship.
8) "With No Apologies" by Senator Barry Goldwater Ch 33 - The Non Elected Rulers
9) The CFR, TC, Bilderberg, Trilaterals Subverted groups, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Trilateral Commission.
10) David Rothkopf CFR “We've got the world on our key chain ready to take it for a ride.”
11) Fareed Zacharia CFR "The Post-American World"
12) The Last Will & Testament of Cecil Rhodes. Forms Tax-Exempt Foundation to undermine state sovereignty.
13) Lewis Lapham "The American Ruling Class" CFR members & Elite. Rule because the public is willfully ignorant.
14) Albert Einstein Learning our way out of the insanity by evolving our consciousness.
15) John Taylor Gatto’s book "Dumbing Us Down"
16) The 7 Lessons that Compulsory Curriculum teach:

  1. Confusion. Everything I teach is out of context. I teach the un-relating of everything.
  2. Class position. That’s the real lesson of any rigged competition like school. You come to know your place.
  3. Indifference. The lesson of bells is that no work is worth finishing, so why care too deeply about anything?
  4. Emotional dependency. By stars and red checks, smiles and frowns, prizes, honors, and disgraces, I teach kids to surrender their will to the predestined chain of command.
  5. Intellectual dependency. Of the millions of things of value to study, I decide what few we have time for, or actually it is decided by my faceless employers….Curiosity has no important place in my work, only conformity. Gatto says this is “the most important lesson, that we must wait for other people, better trained than ourselves, to make the meanings of our lives.”
  6. Provisional self-esteem. The lesson of report cards, grades and tests is that children should not trust themselves or their parents but should rely on the evaluation of certified officials. People need to be told what they are worth.
  7. One can’t hide. Surveillance is an ancient imperative, espoused by certain influential thinkers [such as Plato, Augustine, Calvin, Bacon, and Hobbes]. All these childless men…discovered the same thing: children must be closely watched if you want to keep a society under tight central control.
