as if Oppen-Monster-Heimer didn’t have a bloody hand in murdering those Japanese . . . . Einstein with your Fallout Wine, anyone?

You carpet bombed Germany, you dropped the atom bomb, a lot of civilians died. — Benjamin Netanyahu

End of Discussion with Isra-Hell, the Jewish State of MIND!

Precaution? Nah. Sounds so childish:

Of course, it is a first do no harm principle which in this world has zero relevance in most people’s lives. You want the bacon, you want the extra slice of tomato, double-the-Swiss cheese on that Whopper, then, shit, how are those items grown, produced, transported, sourced, and so on.

Decisions Decisions Decisions.

Oh, those capitalist, profit-driven, job-based, billionaire investor decisions. Oregon county approves one-mile setback for large CAFOs

GE tomatoes, confined torture chambers for the pigs, the manure-flows of that Wisconsin ‘Swiss’ cheese production system, and the Round-up Ready wheat buns. FOrget about that feedlot burger.

From inside the United States, it is hard to pinpoint exactly where beef is produced, since beef is grown in almost every state in the country. However, the top states in beef sales in 2013 were Texas, Kansas, Nebraska, California and Oklahoma. In reality, it has become harder to track down geographically where beef, and other meats, come from but it is easier to identify one of four or five large processing companies that harvested the animal. In the past, grocery stores and fast food restaurants would get their supplies from hundreds of different local slaughterhouses and farms. Four meat suppliers controlled a little over 20 percent of the beef supply market in 1970 and today, four companies control more than 85 percent of the market. In order for this to be possible, feed lots now contain up to 100,000 head of cattle, according to an interview award-winning, investigative journalist, Eric Schlosser did with PBS.

• 1. Eating one hamburger wastes more water on the planet than 2 months of showering.
• 2. It takes 18 times as much land to feed a meat-eater than it does to feed a vegan.
• 3. Meat does more damage to the atmosphere than all transportation combined.
• 4. If we took all the feed we give to cattle on the planet and turned it into food for human beings, we could feed every human being on the planet.

But, precaution means getting rid of the billionaires: “Recent data from Oxfam’s research with the Stockholm Environment Institute shows that the wealthiest 1 percent of humanity are responsible for twice as many emissions as the poorest 50 percent and that by 2030, their carbon footprints are set to be 30 times greater than the level compatible with the 1.5°C goal of the Paris Agreement.”

Cowboy Critic

“Hello, my name is Howard Lyman and I am a recovering meat eater … dairy consumer … factory farmer.” Something for an Oprah show? Dr. Phil’s forte?

The Oprah reference is an accurate one for Lyman, the former operator of a super-industrialized livestock lot and dairy farm, now author (Mad Cowboy and No More Bull, both co-written with Glen Merzer) and advocate of vegetarianism, animal rights and stewardship of the land through sustainable agriculture. It was during an April 1996 Oprah show that the fourth-generation Montana cattleman — now living in Ellensburg — “let the cattle out of the bag” by confronting a spokesman for the National Cattleman’s Beef Association about the practice of feeding vegetarian ruminants their own kind. He suggests that the practice is a bizarre cannibalistic ritual set upon the industrialized meat-raising system to satisfy greed and the bottom line.

On the show, Lyman asserted that he and thousands of other cattle operators had been feeding their herds dead cows — downer cows put down because of cancer, viral diseases, genetic anomalies and mysterious neurological ailments — mixed with parts from butchered cows, including pulverized cow manure.

The proverbial cow pie hit the fan when it was acknowledged that this practice had rendered America’s beef supply susceptible to Mad Cow disease (BSE, or bovine spongiform encephalopathy), which had already taken its toll in the United Kingdom just a year earlier. Lyman, known as the “Mad Cowboy” or the “Vegan Rancher,” continues to speak out about abuses in industrial diary and beef operations like the one he ran outside Great Falls, Mont.

Lyman saw the light after more than 20 years of using road-kill and slaughtered cows as ground-up feed. After hundreds of gallons of antibiotics. After daily chemical fogs to douse flies — the No. 2 bane of feedlot operators “after bovine diseases in their various forms.” In the feedlot business, that pesky fly takes a toll on huge operations because of all those cattle unnaturally crammed into one small space.

“With every cow in a pen producing 25 pounds of manure in a day,” Lyman says, “the flies can get so thick that they actually threaten a cow’s ability to breathe.”

“Better farming through chemistry” was Lyman’s mantra before his transformation, so he attacked the insect problem on an industrial scale.

“Early in the morning I would fill up a fly fogger with insecticide and spray great clouds of it over the whole operation,” Lyman writes in his book. “The insecticide would of course fall into the feed and the water of the cattle, as well as on the trees and the grass and the crops.”

To Oprah — and Court

Lyman’s story hinges on his early years working with his grandfather and father.

“At 8 or 9 I began milking cows and branding calves,” he writes. “At 10 I learned how to castrate calves. At harvest time, I’d work long past dark cutting the grain. I’d rake hay and stack it, and I learned to drive a tractor and a team of horses. I worked every day of the year but two: July 4th and Christmas.”

Then he went off to college, leaving the 540-acre spread to his father and cancer-stricken older brother.

At the College of Agriculture at Montana State, Lyman was thrown into classes taught by chemists and academicians “without an hour’s worth of real farming experience among them.” It was the dawn of pesticides, herbicides, hormones and antibiotics.

In the early 1960s, his father was barely making ends meet; Lyman was going to take over the family business only if he could employ Big Ag’s bag of tricks. “My father had no choice,” he says. “He handed over the farm. But as he shook my hand on the deal, he had a few short words for me. He told me I was wrong.”

Eventually, Lyman saw the big picture when he scooped up that fourth-generation Lyman farm dirt and found it to be a lifeless, oily smelling, grey media for all the chemicals.

Jump ahead 20 years and picture Lyman in the Chicago studio of Harpo Productions. The audience is aghast at the commentary this ex-rancher is giving. Oprah and her brethren are freaked out by the prospect of that mad cow prion in the food supply, ready to attack humans — as it was doing in England.

Two months later Oprah, Harpo Productions and Lyman were hit with a “food disparagement” suit by Paul Engler, a Texas feedlot operator, and other Texas cattlemen as plaintiffs.

In 1998, Oprah, her production company, lawyers and Howard Lyman ended up in Amarillo, the first individuals sued under the Texas Food Disparagement Act. Her show went on, from Amarillo.

On Feb. 26, 1998, the jury found in favor of Lyman and Winfrey. No disparagement of beef. No damages levied.

Hold the Beef

Lazy R Ranch cattleman Maurice Robinette gets a kick out of Lyman’s claim to fame: “You have to hand it to him … he’s really found an interesting niche — vegetarian cattle rancher.” Robinette’s a third-generation Cheney cattleman with several university degrees who sees a future in responsible and sustainable cattle ranching. He runs 80 pairs of cattle and another 100 yearlings out of his Cheney operation. He also is Eastern Washington’s coordinator for the Washington Sustainable Food and Farming Network.

Robinette — who heads up Spokane’s Sustainable Agriculture Leadership Team, which helps local, small farmers — is battling against industrial farming, genetically modified crops, the huge bio-tech and ag giants, and the practice of concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs).

The reformed Lyman tips his hat to men like Lazy R’s owner for raising beef the old-fashioned way — grass-fed, with no hormones or antibiotics applied, in a manner that protects the soil and abates the impacts on the entire ecosystem. (an old story, Haeder)

Precaution my ass!

And here we have Cancer States — notice the concentration of feedlots:

But, do not believe the fascists at COP28, all of them in their 10,000 sqaure foot mansions and triple-homes and luxury cabanas.

The African Food Systems Transformation Collective launched a declaration on the commitments that government leaders at COP28 needed to make to transform African food systems. The collective is a network of over 200 leading African academics and civil society representatives.

The collective wants world leaders to protect traditional food and seed systems. It has urged global leaders to respect custodianship of nature and shared food as expressions of sacred African values of interdependence and care.

Research and learning must be informed by the wisdom of nature and indigenous knowledge. Locally led technological innovations can level the playing field and improve resource efficiency. These include enhanced traditional storage and processing and renewable energies.

Yet food systems transformations must also go beyond techno-fixes. They must make sure that everyone has fair access to good food.

Supporting people’s agency—their ability to govern food systems—is central to transformation. Women, youth, children, elders and small food enterprises must be able to participate in planning and decision-making. Governance must prevent land-grabbing and promote land reform to right current and historical injustices. Water resources must be managed democratically, to protect and regenerate catchments, coastlines and oceans. Everyone should enjoy equitable access to safe water.

The collective believes food systems must be nourishing, biodiverse, carbon-negative, resilient and fair. States and philanthropies should spur locally led adaptation.

The call was for COP28 leaders to commit to separating food systems from the fossil fuels, antibiotics, preservatives, pesticides, herbicides and artificial fertilizers they are currently centered on. Governments should instead promote local food production with short value chains and strengthen fair trade between African countries. This would mean a big change in regulations, and investment in new infrastructure and technology. Small and informal food enterprises should also be supported with climate-resilient infrastructure.

Nazi’s in 2023 Sheep’s Clothing:

Yeah, what could go wrong here:

Yep, add that substance and cross thy fingers: According to the Cornell Chronicle, researchers first investigated the genetic reasons for broccoli growing abnormally when the thermometer creeps up, and the findings provided some clues as to how to create more heat-resistant varieties.

After applying a substance to stop the DNA methylation process, which would inhibit normal broccoli growth in heat, the scientists found that broccoli was able to grow in a typical fashion even at 82 degrees Fahrenheit.

The outcome is particularly promising, although there’s still some research to be done.

Yeah, what could go wrong here:

The quest for new antibiotics is going back to the Stone Age.

The urgency to identify possible candidates has never been greater as the global population faces nearly 5 million deaths every year that are associated with microbial resistance, according to the World Health Organization.

A research team led by bioengineering pioneer César de la Fuente is using artificial intelligence-based computational methods to mine genetic information from extinct human relatives such as Neanderthals and long-gone ice age creatures such as the woolly mammoth and giant sloth.

Yeah, that Oppen-Monster-Heimer science and precautionary ethos.

US defense industry firm Raytheon has successfully tested its “exoatmospheric kill vehicle” (EKV), designed to protect the United States by intercepting and neutralizing ballistic missiles in low Earth orbit, serving the same purpose as Israel’s Arrow-3 missile defense system.

During a test conducted by the US Missile Defense Agency and US Northern Command in the Pacific Ocean, the EKV effectively destroyed a medium-range ballistic missile.

Raytheon president Wes Kramer said in a statement,

“This test demonstrates that the US ballistic missile defense system is operational, reliable, and ready to protect the country.”

Yeah, this is where the world’s smart minds and big money bags should be going:

In a show of solidarity and support with the Israeli people and business community during this time of war, 65 investors, CEOs, and senior executives of US-based technology, venture capital, and private equity firms will land in Tel Aviv next week for a three-day series of economic planning sessions, solidarity discussions, and support meetings.

The group includes leaders from Bain Capital, Meetup.com, Apollo, Houzz, TPG, Susquehanna Growth Equity, and many others. It represents the first and largest group of its kind to visit Israel since October 7.

Yeah, now this is a fucking Jewish-Only Shit Storm of Misplaced Billions for the Occupiers, the Genociders: Israeli tech execs seek UK funds to help create a startup for every Oct. 7 victim: At the London summit, 30 Israeli startups and entrepreneurs will present their technology to 200 British private and institutional investors and business leaders. Presentations will include sessions covering three areas to raise capital for investment in dual-use technologies for civilian and security deployment; agriculture, agritech and foodtech; and AI and cyber.

Ahh, all those scientists and engineers, and other SCUM from the STEM fields, looking out for their big daddy’s wallet. Dual-use my ass:

When the Pentagon pulled the world’s biggest defense contractors into a meeting to tell them to ramp up production shortly after Russia invaded Ukraine, one CEO hesitated, saying they did not want to be stuck with a warehouse full of rockets when the fighting stopped, according to three people familiar with the discussion.

Nearly two years later, big defense firms are singing a different tune, with several expecting strong demand in 2024 as the U.S. and its allies load up on expensive weaponry and munitions with an eye on what they perceive as more aggressive actions from Russia and China.

Yeah, those fucking STEM motherfuckers, never will they give up their Eichmann Badges and their Faustian Bargain contracts. Oppenheimer Lives on.

Everything now in 2023 is over — no more protests, no more sanity, and the money and warring and JewWorld win out!

“The Worst Days in Gaza” — these are the words of an extraordinary testimony by Lara Elborno, Palestinian journalist, talking directly from Gaza – with video illustrations – showing in a 4-minute video clip a reality that most of the west ignores, or wants to ignore.

Lara says:

“Everyday has been the worst day; Israel outdoes itself in brutality and destruction every day; so, every day is the worst day. The day Yoav Gallant (Israel’s Minister of Defense, alias War) announced that Palestinians would be denied food, water, and aid, was the worst day.”

“The day that Israeli Officials announced that they were rolling out the Gaza Nakba, was the worst day. (Nakba, means “catastrophe” in Arabic, and refers to the mass displacement and dispossession of Palestinians during the 1948 Arab / Palestine – Israeli war. A new Nakba is occurring now in Gaza).”

“The day that they sieged and surrounded the Al-Shifa Hospital, bombed the maternity ward, bombed the outside clinic, was the worst day.”

“The day that Israel dropped six 1-ton bombs on the Jabalia refugee camp, was the worst day.”

There is an endless chain of “Worst Days of Gaza” [ illustrated by pictures and video clips – worse than what the world has witnessed in at least the last seven decades, maybe in the last 300 years.]

There are millions who need bats to the head. Culling.

Precautionary Principle? Right, with these three B’s — Bibi, Ben-Gvir, Biden —destroying the world with their Wailing Wall Whackos and their Oppen-Monster-Heimers doing their Always Do Harm song and dance: Biden specifically mentioned Israel’s far-right politician Itamar Ben-Gvir, who is Israel’s national security minister, and said “this is the most conservative government in Israel’s history.”

“He [Bibi Netanyahu] has to change this government. This government in Israel is making it very difficult,” Biden said. He also said that ultimately Israel “can’t say no” to a Palestinian state, which Israeli hardliners oppose.

Biden alluded to a private conversation in which the Israeli leader said:

“‘You carpet bombed Germany, you dropped the atom bomb, a lot of civilians died.'”

Biden said he responded: “Yeah, that’s why all these institutions were set up after World War Two to see to it that it didn’t happen again … don’t make the same mistakes we made in 9/11. There’s no reason why we had to be in a war in Afghanistan.”

Netanyahu said in a statement on Tuesday that Israel had received “full backing” from the US for its ground invasion into Gaza and that Washington had blocked “international pressure to stop the war.”

Oh, those smarty pants scientists, STEM scum, where oh where are you now?

In one Times article, Jonathan Weisman stated that “Jew hatred” is “holding Jews around the world responsible for Israeli government actions”—then gave as evidence what “pro-Palestinian protesters did last week outside an Israeli restaurant in Philadelphia.”

This is pure McCarthyite fiction. The Israeli-American restaurant owner had raised $100,000 for an organization that supports the Israeli military. It’s fine to target his restaurants with nonviolent protests.

The same McCarthyite fiction as University of Pennsylvania megadonor Marc Rowan, a Zionist, who fresh from forcing the school’s president to step down over the Orwellian “antisemitism” question in Congress, promoted rules to keep antisemitism from taking root in campus culture – aimed at stopping Palestinian advocacy.

Or the same hateful McCarthyism as the Long Island community that turned on a local man for questioning Israel’s conduct and stripped him of his — Santa Claus gig for the chamber of commerce! Ken Dorph made the terrible mistake of challenging American Jewish Committee advocates for Israel at a local temple– and 11 members of the temple wrote in that they didn’t feel safe with the 70-year-old in a red Santa outfit.

This is insane because everyone sees that these Zionist individuals and organizations are defending a genocide, and wielding the antisemitism charge against people who oppose the slaughter of civilians. And the liberal media are playing the useful-idiot role here. Celebrating the supposed revival of liberal Zionism, Vox’s Zack Beauchamp can’t ever say the truth about Zionism—it’s generally racist, and wed to apartheid. Just as Ezra Klein of the Times upholds Israeli Labor Zionist Nimrod Novik as an idealist — even as Novik calls for “separation” and a “strong Jewish majority” in Israel.

Letting Zionists occupy the moral high ground on the bigotry issue is not just wrong on facts, but a disaster politically. Even Biden seems to sense it. — Phil Weiss
