Guest guest Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 > Rose I fear he will just produce just more of the same, it has been reported that he favors GMO crops as well as ethanol. Obamas other picks are not a hopeful sign for the economy either just more of the same transfer of wealth from us on main street to Wall Street, the big banks and all the other powerful beggars with their hands held out. And leins placed upon our great grandchildrens future earnings to pay for this madness!!! Very very sad.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 Here are places where you can sign a petition against Vilsack: http://kjpermaculture.blogspot.com/2008/12/food-democracy-now.html http://www.stopvilsack.org I'm not sure how many of you would agree with me, but after reading Engdahl's " Seeds of Destruction " and also accounts of the destruction of small farm agriculture in many countries traced back to WTO, CIA, and US corporations, I'm concerned whether we'll have any affect. What is becoming clear is that the PTB are using the destruction of small farm agriculture throughout the world as a basis to de-stabilize nations and make people very compliant because they have lost their ability to provide for themselves. This is a global strategy of the US, and as you can see, fits well with what's happening in this country with raw milk, NAIS, GMO's, etc. So, we have a huge national problem of our government imperialism that is driving all this policy. Obama is in over his head, and/or is just part of the strategy. Another good read is Naomi Wolf's " End of America " . We the people may have to take care of this problem. I also have repeatedly commented to my representatives, senators, Obama, local papers, etc. Maybe we will achieve a tipping point? Sincerely, > > I am suprised we have not heard more outrage on this?
