It is what the world has come to in many ways. Juxtaposing two very opposite things. Those who would destroy take over the roles of "protectors." I am sick of the bipolar, contradictory extremes. I hope reconciliation, in general, comes soon. We, the people, have to be truly honest with ourselves though, willing to look in the mirror.

. . . . That person is Michael Taylor. He had been Monsanto's attorney before becoming policy chief at the FDA. Soon after, he became Monsanto's vice president and chief lobbyist. . . .

No sir! You have it all wrong. Obama said he wouldn't have lobbyists in his administration. You are what's wrong with this country!

Stop thinking right now and go back and watch "Dancing with the Czars. . . uh I mean Stars"

Seriously, just another damn example of the overt corruption in this administration.

S&F for more bad news on this friday. . .

-is friday morning too early for scotch? If so, I'll start with vodka!

Well, I guess more people are going to be disenchanted with Obama after this.

This is craziness, I'm really at a loss for words.

I expect to see new 'policy' by the czar making it illegal to eat anything which does not either contain petrochemical additives or anything produced by nature without human manipulation.

You'll need licensing to grow food in your own backyard. And no-one will qualify easily for the privilege.

Your children will be taught that 'natural' stuff is for loonies and kooks. And they will be encouraged to report you if you express dissent or dare to disobey the czar.

... sorry... just carrying this trend to it's logical conclusion.


(I wonder how much it costs to get a political appointment these days?)

I find a lot of the obama criticism simply rhetoric and unfounded, but in this case, I am very disappointed and upset. Same thing as the last administration did, exactly.

This is just disgusting.
Corruption in its most obvious and devious form.

I believe it. Take on look at all the Czars Obama has.
This is just one more brick in the wall.
I used to say that Obama would be jimmy carter II. I was wrong.
This is much worse.

All we can do is hope they wake up and have buyers remorse before 2012.

God help us all!!

Is this a position solely appointed by the president?
What is the Peoples' recourse against this type of injustice?
Do we call our congressmenandwomen?

I'm not familiar with what the options are for the people to affect a presidential appointment.. He has to be confirmed by the supreme court, I imagine. But I have little faith that they will act on our behalf..

So much for Hope.

How about his Green Czar Mr. Van Jones - admitted radical and communist.



His own words.

While he was in jail
“I met all these young radical people of color — I mean really radical, communists and anarchists. And it was, like, ‘This is what I need to be a part of.’” Although he already had a plane ticket, he decided to stay in San Francisco. “I spent the next ten years of my life working with a lot of those people I met in jail, trying to be a revolutionary.” In the months that followed, he let go of any lingering thoughts that he might fit in with the status quo. “I was a rowdy nationalist on April 28th, and then the verdicts came down on April 29th,” he said. “By August, I was a communist.”

I now ATS members could put our heads together and pick, oh 250 plus people more qualified to be the Green Czar.

Wait a minute who gave him the ability to create these positions that yield great power. Congress does not approve nor do they get to questions these czars. Who thinks George Bush could of done this without any controversy from CNN MSNBC ABC CBS FOX?

Who here knows what other president created all these Czars. The only difference he called them dictators.

This is just perfect, I can see it now. The police will be raiding grow-ops except rather than them finding drugs they will find tomatoes or lettuce.

What police are calling a 'large-scale vegetable grow operation' was discovered inside a south-east Chicago home during a collaborative raid by both Chicago police and the FDA, Wednesday (May 27).

Officers with the Chicago police Guns and Drugs Section and the FDA's Vegetable Section executed a search warrant at 497 Cudmore Crescent just before 9:30 p.m.

A male and female suspect were arrested at the scene and officers uncovered "a large-scale vegetable grow operation."

Police seized 737 Tomatoe plants ($737,000.000), $809 in Canadian currency, $100 in US currency and a 2004 Toyota Camry. An estimated $4,428 in electricity was stolen, police said.

Bob Smith (male), 52, of Chicago, and Jane Smith (female), 41, of Chicago, are charged with possession of Tomatoes for the purpose of trafficking, unlawful production of Vegetables and resisting arrest.

Editted to add - I wasn't clear enough, I was saying what I figure will happen, not that this already has happened.

This is a little off topic but interesting. Jones describes himself as wanting to be a revolutionary..

Funny thing is, when you join the armed forces they make you testify under oath that you have never belonged to any organizations dedicated to the overthrow of the US government. Can it really be so that the same testimony isn't required for one to serve in the Executive Cabinet?

War is Peace.

Poverty is Wealth.

Lies are Truth.

Tyranny is Freedom.

And now we have Poison is Food.

Why is everyone surprised? Does anyone still have any doubt that the NWO eugnenic elitist conspiracy, that the psychopathocracy described by ponerology, is real?

If you haven't woken up yet you might as well just fill your gut with the new antifood and go out eating.
