The inside story of the socialist organic industry
Did you know that all of the subsidies to the organic industry pass right through the hands of organic farmers and go straight into the coffers of left-leaning organic-political activists? Are you interested in learning more about this brand of watermelon (red-green) subterfuge that promises to fundamentally change the way you feed your family?
Organic farms, processing facilities and brokers are NEVER tested to ensure they’re actually organic and that harmful pathogens are safely eliminated. Let me repeat that: there’s NO TESTING in the organic industry! It was set up according to the dictates of people like George Soros and Van Jones as a politicized honor system. And again I repeat, these people promise to fundamentally change the way you feed your family.
I worked for five years as an organic inspector in Canada and the United States and have written extensively on this. When the lid is finally blown clean off the multi-billion-dollar, politicized organic industry, taxpayers everywhere will rejoice.
I’ve written a book that blows the lid off all of this. Please go to my website for more information. All the best!

Quote of the Day.............
Jon Snow blogs…
“When it comes to military procurement, Israel spends £9 billion a year and administers its purchases with 400 people. Britain spends £10 billion annually on procurement and has a staff of 23,700 to do it.”

We are not worthy.........from Rico
This perfectly captures the attitude of our Uber-doofus. He and Michelle obviously feel the rest of us are not worthy of their enlightened wonderfulness.
OK, if we agree will, you promise to just go away?

It's not so bad.........from Rico
It's not so bad, really. Just saying it's OK makes things OK, right comrades?
Inflation, like unemployment, does not exist for the former and isn't that bad for the latter...because the gooberment and the MSM say so!!!
- Must be true then. Would they lie to us? Nawwwwww!
Well, it's technically 'true' if you cook the books!
- Gov't can do that, you know.
For profit entities like Agora Financial get in trouble for cooking the books, however. They report that the producer-price index was UP 0.4% in Sep from Aug, and compared to a year earlier wholesale prices are UP 4%.
- But they cannot figure it the way Government does (by excluding food and energy costs which increased 1.7% in Sep)...so the poor fools can't assert there's no inflation, and may even be under the delusion that Sep's numbers were UP something like 5.7% in one month!!!
John Williams at Shadowstats calculates unemployment the way it was done before the Government jiggered it's formula in the early 1990's. While the offishul unemployment rate is reported by the MSM as 9.6%, figured the old way it's running 22.5%.
Gee, who you gonna believe?
- The teleprompter readers, or your own eyes?
I think most of us who have not quaffed the Koolaid have figured out what is 'real' and what is a 'lie' by now.
- It's about time for tar-and-feathers.
Worlds Apart: Williams Episode Destroys the Left's 'Objective' Journalism Façade
Well, the Williams episode further destroys the left's façade of objective journalism. But I'm elaborating on the New York Times' piece, "Williams Episode Shows 2 Versions of Journalism."
NPR’s decision on Wednesday to fire Juan Williams and Fox News Channel’s decision on Thursday to give him a new contract put into sharp relief the two forms of journalism that compete every day for Americans’ attention.Blah. Blah.
Mr. Williams’s NPR contract was terminated two days after he said on an opinionated segment on Fox News that he worried when he saw people in “Muslim garb” on an airplane. He later said that he was reflecting his fears after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks nine years ago.
NPR said on Wednesday night that Mr. Williams’s comments were “inconsistent with our editorial standards and practices.” According to a report in The Los Angeles Times, Roger Ailes, the Fox News chairman, offered Mr. Williams, who was already a paid contributor to Fox, a new three-year contract worth nearly $2 million in total.
After dismissing Mr. Williams, who was one of its senior news analysts, NPR argued that he had violated the organization’s belief in impartiality, a core tenet of modern American journalism. By renewing Mr. Williams’s contract, Fox News showed its preference for point-of-view — rather than the view-from-nowhere — polemics. And it gave Fox news anchors and commentators an opportunity to jab NPR, the public radio organization that had long been a target of conservatives for what they perceived to be a liberal bias.
Those competing views of journalism have been highlighted by the success of Fox and MSNBC and the popularity of opinion media that beckons some traditional journalists. That Mr. Williams was employed by both Fox and NPR had been a source of consternation in the past.
And this from the newspaper that long ago gave over its front page as an extension of the editorial suite. But I'll be fair: It's to the point when reading any purported "objective" news outlet that your bias radar should be set to maximum power. And we should be a bit grateful when we find a reasonable piece of unbiased news reporting. I never understood this until I became a blogger doing my own reporting. But as I've indicated numerous times here, today we have "a partisan press favoring the Democratic Party."
But be sure to read Juan Williams' essay at Fox News, "I Was Fired for Telling the Truth." (Via Memeorandum.) I've long admired Juan Williams (and I've read two of his books). But my admiration's only grown through all of this, and of course the response of the left simply confirms that ideology's complete intellectual and moral bankruptcy. There's is simply nothing beneath these people. Recall that NPR CEO Vivian Schiller slurred Williams by suggesting he should keep his feeling about Muslims between himself and "his psychiatrist or his publicist." The upside, and this is something that black Americans should think twice about, is that Williams was offered a new three-year contract totalling nearly $2 million. With so much poverty and lost opportunity in America's minority communities, we often lose sight of some of our greatest role models, and in Williams' case, one of our most thoughtful commentators.
