ANH ~ Monsanto’s Spy Software to Control the Entire Agricultural Market

After receiving today’s Alliance for Natural Health Action Alert, I will grant Big Smother a few points for creativity, but enough is enough. I really think some binding magic is in order for biotech behemoths. On the more mundane level, perhaps this petition? Calls to John Deere? Keep in mind that Monsanto already owns the weather.

When you combine owning all the data on weather, plus all the data on what gets planted where, when and how well it yields, this move positions Monsanto into the all-seeing eye, top of the pyramid. Yet another reason to grow, save and trade your own heirloom seeds and perennial veggies, as well as learning how to forage in unsprayed local areas.

As devastating as an EMP would be, at times like these I wonder if it’s the off radar solution. No pun intended. Ted Koppel’s “Lights Out” book brings awareness of EMP’s to mainstream readers. Preparing for that would require exponentially greater levels of community preparations and paradigm shifts, but seriously, when I consider how much the “elite” rely on A.I. and electronic data gathering in order to push control, I really do start thinking, “alt, delete.” Even with no EMP, the less we rely on Big anything, the freer we are. Thoughts to ponder as you read/take action on the info below:

Monsanto’s Spy Software to Control the Entire Agriculture Market

We must stop this attempt to create a new and potentially even bigger monopoly. Action Alert!

Monsanto recently reached a deal with Deere & Co. that could dramatically alter the US agricultural market, and not for the better.

John Deere, the world’s largest producer of agricultural machinery, agreed to purchase Monsanto’s Precision Planting LLC equipment unit. As part of the deal, information on crops contained in Monsanto’s FieldView software app, used with the equipment, will send continuous information back to Monsanto. Monsanto will know which farmers have planted which crops, and where.

Importantly, Monsanto has similar deals with two other top producers of similar agricultural machinery, CNH Industrial NV and Agco Corporation.

As Dr. Mercola brought to our attention and astutely points out, access to this information imbedded in farming equipment across the country will give the company “unprecedented insight into market yields of any harvest before anyone else, and this information could allow [Monsanto] to manipulate and reign supreme over the commodities market.”

This is an outrage. The government has done everything in its power to grant Monsanto a monopoly over the seed industry. Now, these technology deals could give Monsanto another monopoly—this time over agricultural information and, through that, the commodities market.

Action Alert! Write to the Federal Trade Commission, the Department of Justice, and the Commodities Trading Futures Commission, and tell them they must act to stop this outrageous expansion of Monsanto’s monopoly power. Please send your message immediately.

Magic Works!

I just came back from our first 2015 Share the Bounty Week meeting — this one on the power of community gardens and gardens in communities. In the course of the meeting, I learned that all that work I did back in 2014 to ensure that the Goshen Comprehensive Plan included “sustainable sovereignty,” rather than just the cookie cutter plans for an Agenda 21 takeover of our city — including magical working — paid much bigger dividends than I ever imagined.

Not only has the assistant city planner become a good friend and ally, but Goshen was selected as the model for comprehensive planning — despite the fact that our plan strategically did not include many of the most top-down power grabs of other plans. Our plan also specifically mentions and encourages edible landscaping and front yard gardening. I knew that my friend had shared some of my ideas at the national level, but I did not know that the American Planning Association had recently made a mini-documentary featuring Goshen.

I’m sharing this here not to gloat, but to say that one person can make a difference. Magic can make a difference. Creating portals to preferred realities can make a difference. It is possible to the fight top-down co-opting of the sustainability movement simply by nurturing community instead of tearing it down with ideologies. It is possible to paint and encode freedom and healing into artwork and intend it as a magical working. That works. For the story of the portal door I painted in 2014 and the reasons behind that painting, please click here.

Thank you, Elen of the Ways, for finding ways and more ways to invite and foster blessings. So many communities either get torn apart by Agenda 21 (or now the 2030 Agenda) battles that pit those who care about the environment against those who care about sovereignty, or they end up with cleverly disguised, oppressive corporate takeovers and sweetheart deals. It is possible –and natural — to care about both sovereignty and sustainability. Originally, the Goddess of Sovereignty and the Goddess of the Land were one and the same. Originally, the ruler needed to prove himself worthy by symbolically uniting with the Land.

There are always so many behind the scenes details I cannot share in this kind of public space, but magic works. When you approach a challenge with love, imagination, creativity, and urgent need, never doubt the synergistic power of aligning with Nature and using any and all tools to make it so. Door Number 17 ~ Elen of the Ways.

A number of other synchronous answers to prayers and intentions unfolded at today’s meeting, too, and when I arrived home, I found an emailed link from reader Nancy speaking of a different art project using magic to shift the global trajectory. I like this one much better than John Lamb Lash’s Kalika War Party calls earlier this year, because this project uses an idea I also had — if “corporations are people,” then instead of cursing actual people, which brings karmic and ethical payback many will not want, this project works on the “corporate person” itself. For your consideration of any and all means to free our world from destruction: “Can a Magic Spell Take Down Monsanto?”

Create what you do want, but don’t be afraid to get creative in how you remove that which you do not want. Beauty from ashes … growth from compost … new life from complete and utter B.S. Hey, stranger things have happened. If I tried to explain how things get done, no one would believe me. 😉

 

 

 

Trade Agreements and Fast Track

This just in from reader Karen, with a link discussing the major implications of the TPP and TTIP trade agreements, plus a refresher course on how NAFTA has affected all those involved. “What You Need to Know About Trade Agreements and Fast Track”:

Hi Laura,

I thought this might be of interest for some of your blog readers/clients (like me) who aren’t as well-versed on some of the issues you’ve been discussing.  I found it to be a well-spoken and well-written explanation, and it includes a link to contact our representatives.
