Food is a natural human right — not in the sense that governments should be in charge of providing it for the people, but rather that human beings are endowed with the right and responsibility to grow it for themselves and reap the fruits of their labor, without interference from governments and corporations.
But the modern food supply has been hijacked by an amalgamation of both government and private industry, what is more popularly known as a fascist state, which increasingly controls what people eat and how they eat it. The crux of this largely state-controlled food supply is an industrial system of monoculture that generates high profits for the fat cats, but that also pollutes both land and food.
For the average consumer, the fact that the food supply has changed dramatically since World War II-era industrialization may not be all that apparent. After all, there’s seemingly more food than ever at the big-box grocery stores these days, and if you live in a big city, you can get almost any food you want year-round, creating an illusion of abundance.
But it’s not the availability of food that’s the issue — it’s the types and quality of the food available, and where it comes from, that tells the real story. Most of what’s stocked on grocery store shelves today contains factory-farmed ingredients that, with every purchase, fill the coffers of multinational corporations.
These same ingredients often come from crops that are heavily sprayed with pesticides like Roundup, which contains glyphosate, that pollute the environment and leave traces of poison in the final product, whether it be breads, cereals, pastries or even conventional fruits and vegetables. Genetically modified organisms (GMOs), which are also corporate-owned, are duly problematic.
“No matter what methods are used, agriculture always has some impact on the environment,” maintains the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS). “But industrial agriculture is a special case: it damages the soil, water, and even the climate on an unprecedented scale.”
“Intensive monoculture depletes soil and leaves it vulnerable to erosion. Chemical fertilizer runoff and CAFO [concentrated animal feeding operation] wastes… create oxygen-deprived ‘dead zones’ at the mouths of major waterways. Herbicides and insecticides harm wildlife and can pose human health risks as well.”
GMOs, crop chemicals and more are destroying the environment and human health
According to the latest data made available by the Department of Agriculture’s Economic Research Service, nearly all conventional soybeans, corn, and cotton grown in the U.S. today is GMO — U.S. soybean acreage was 94 percent GMO in 2014, while cotton was 91 percent GMO and corn 89 percent GMO.
The Institute for Responsible Technology also reports that, according to 2010 data, GMO sugar beets represent 95 percent of all domestic sugar beets currently grown, while GMO canola (rapeseed) represents 90 percent of all domestic canola.
The various food derivatives made from each of these staple crops are used to create a bulk of the processed foods sold to consumers today. Everything from soy lecithin (which is added to almost every single processed food on the market) to soybean oil, canola oil, “sugar,” corn syrup, corn starch and everything in between is quietly added to your favorite crackers, cereals, cookies, dips, sauces, beverages and desserts.
Besides the many health risks associated with GMOs, which are fully outlined in the Earth Open Source GMO Myths and Truths report, the chemicals used to grow GMOs are also toxic. One example of this (besides Roundup) is neonicotinoids, a class of pesticides that has repeatedly been linked to causing colony collapse disorder, or CCD, in bee colonies.
The USDA estimates that up to one-third of our entire diet is reliant upon bees and/or other pollinators, which necessitate the production of a substantial amount of our food supply. Most fruits and vegetables, for instance, including things like apples, oranges, strawberries, onions and carrots, require bees in order to grow.
But the use of chemicals like neonicotinoids, which are applied to both GM and conventional crops (but not organic crops), is stymieing their populations. Since 2004, more than 1 million beehives have collapsed in the U.S. as a result of CCD, which even the Harvard School of Public Health now admits is largely the result of crop chemical use.
“If governments in the EU, USA and other countries fail to impose a total ban on certain chemical insecticides, not only could bees become a thing of the past,” warned F. William Engdahl, writing for the Centre for Research on Globalization.
“The human species could face staggering new challenges merely to survive. The immediate threat comes from the widespread proliferation of commercial insecticides containing the highly-toxic chemical with the improbable name, neonicotinoids.”

The Sexodus: Guys are checking out of society & relationships

by Paul Joseph Watson

Why are more and more young men giving up on women and checking out of society?
They’re calling it The Sexodus – an entire generation of boys abandoning female company, relinquishing relationships and retreating into a virtual reality world of pornography, video games, lad culture and chemical addictions.
Anecdotally, the flip side of the equation also seems to be true. How often do you hear women who have resisted the brainwashing of radical feminism bemoaning the fact that they can no longer find “real men”? Men who are actually confident enough to know how to act around women without being constantly terrified that every word they utter, every behavior they express, every opinion they espouse, may be taken as offensive, sexist or predatory.
In part one of a series of articles on The Sexodus, Breitbart’s Milo Yiannopoulos notes that an entire generation of young people are being left behind in the wreckage of the social engineering project that is third wave feminism.
Yiannopoulos spoke to Jack Rivlin, editor of over 30 student newspapers, who told him of the increasingly troubling trend of young men on campus being completely clueless and scared when it comes to how to engage with women.
What’s to blame for this breakdown? The hysterical propaganda surrounding so-called rape culture, exemplified by the recent Rolling Stone/University of Virginia scandal, plays a major role. As does its consequences, mandatory “consent” classes and California’s onerous and confusing “yes means yes” law, where students, in whatever state of inebriation, need to secure a kind of arbitrary verbal contract with each other before they can engage in any kind of sexual activity.
The deadening of young boys’ naturally rambunctious behavior via ADHD drugs like Ritalin, as well as their educational abandonment, is also creating a generation of dysfunctional and reclusive adolescents devoid of all self esteem, miserable, and unable to relate to the opposite sex.
The discrepancy between what women say they want and what they actually want also serves to confuse young men further.
“Men are constantly told they should be delicate, sensitive fellow travelers on the feminist path,” writes Yiannopoulos. “But the same women who say they want a nice, unthreatening boyfriend go home and swoon over simple-minded, giant-chested, testosterone-saturated hunks in Game of Thrones. Men know this, and, for some, this giant inconsistency makes the whole game look too much like hard work. Why bother trying to work out what a woman wants, when you can play sports, masturbate or just play video games from the comfort of your bedroom?”
The divorce process is also set up to grossly favor women over men, leaving many men frightened to get married for fear of losing everything. Women are also becoming less and less interested in monogamy, claiming the ‘player’ mantle so often ascribed to men for themselves as some twisted form of sexual equality.
Are western men in increasing numbers at risk of turning into Japan’s herbivores, men who shun sex and prefer to go on long walks rather than flirt with girls? Is it any surprise that many men are turning to infamous pick up artists like Julien Blanc in a desperate last ditch effort to reclaim their confidence around women?
Traditionally male characteristics, qualities and traits have also been ridiculed by third wave feminism and contemporary culture. There are virtually no true positive male role models left at all. Men have been brainwashed that “white knight” behavior is the only recourse left to get them laid, when of course, that doesn’t work either.
The response to part one of Yiannopoulos’s article was overwhelming, with over 500 men responding to say how much they resonated with its message.
24-year-old Mark wrote, “Everyone I know feels the same. Your article spoke directly to us. We’re not all losers and nerds, we’re just normal guys who are either scared of being accused of terrible stuff by harpies or simply can’t be bothered any more. I can’t believe I’m saying this but I just can’t deal with hassle of women any more.”
“I’m an athlete. My parents have a lot of money. I have plenty of friends and a good social life. I don’t hang out with women any more, wrote 28-year-old Francis. “Occasionally I’ll have one night stands, but mostly I fill my time with other things. I got accused of molesting a girl at college and since then I’ve just thought, whatever. I play sports instead.”
This is the Sexodus – young men giving up on women entirely as a result of the destruction wrought by social engineering and radical feminism, a process which then punishes women by leaving them with a choice between the simpering, pathetic white knight or the emotionally or physically abusive thug.
Once again, the train wreck of radical feminism and the contrived gender war – promoted at every turn by the political class and establishment media – is driving a wedge between men and women, it’s derailing the cohesiveness of western society. This is the most ominous form of social engineering. This is divide and conquer on the biggest scale imaginable.
Are you a young man who has given up on women and because part of the Sexodus? Are you a young woman who has abandoned all hope of finding a real man? Infowars.
