What's Killing the Bees ... They believe that Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD),
which has already wiped out tens of thousands of hives of bees across North
America again this fall, is caused by a pesticide you can purchase today at
Wal-Mart and Home Depot. The cause is imidacloprid, plain and
simple," said David Hackenberg, the beekeeper who was the subject of a
60 Minutes story that aired Oct. 28"

"Here's the background you need to understand:
The primary product used to control grubs on your lawn, or insects on your
fruit trees, or termites in your basement, contains a chemical compound
known as imidacloprid, a
synthetic nicotine, which is most commonly marketed as
Merit. No
one debates that imidacloprid is toxic to bees, yet Bayer, the exclusive
patent holder from 1988 until this year, denies its product causes CCD. Many
countries including France and Brazil are employing the "precautionary
principle" and pulling products containing imidacloprid from the
shelves. But in the U.S., homeowners and farms are using more and more of it
— especially since many competing products (which relied on the compound
diazinon to kill grubs and other insects) have already been banned due to
their proven toxicity."

An article in Natural News by David Gutierrez on September 30, 2008 has
linked the bee die-off in the Baden-Wurttemburg state of Germany to direct
contact with the insecticide clothianidin found on corn seeds (German
Research Center for Cultivated Plants). This pesticide had been applied to
rapeseed and sweet corn seeds in the Rhine River Valley. Piles of dead bees
were discovered at the entrance of hives in early May 2008. Clothianidin was
found in the tissues of 99% of the dead bees. This is the time when corn
seeding takes place according to Walter Haefeker, president of the European
Professional Beekeeping Association. The Julius Huehn Institute (federal
agricultural research agency) stated “it can be unequivocally be concluded
that a poisoning of the bees is due to a rub-off of the pesticide ingredient
clothianidin from corn seeds.” This chemical is estimated to have killed
two-thirds of the bees in this state.

"December 21-25, 2007 -- Another disturbing photo emerges in child
abduction case ... It may be Peace on Earth and Goodwill Toward
Men, except where it comes to thousands of abducted, sexually-abused,
and enslaved children around the world. ... In 2007, this editor
investigated the child prostitution trade in Southeast Asia and visited
Thailand and Cambodia to witness how vulnerable children as young as
five are kidnapped and pressed into service as prostitutes. Worse, the
trade in children is supported and sanctioned by members of the US and
other diplomatic corps members in various Southeast and South Asian
capitals. ... The following photograph has been obtained by WMR.
It was recently sent anonymously to Noreen Gosch, whose then-12-year old
son Johnny was kidnapped from a West Des Moines street in 1982. 1982 was
the same year that this editor, working covertly for the FBI and Naval
Investigative Service, helped bust a huge pedophile ring that was later
determined to have been linked to high White House officials. The
network would receive widespread attention during the waning days of the
Reagan administration and result in front page coverage by the
Washington Times during the Bush 41 administration."

"Pioneer Hi-Bred's website boasts that their
genetically modified (GM) Liberty Link corn survives doses of Liberty
herbicide, which would normally kill corn. The reason, they say, is that
the herbicide becomes "inactive in the corn plant." They fail
to reveal, however, that after you eat the GM corn, some inactive
herbicide may become reactivated inside your gut and cause a toxic
reaction. In addition, a gene that was inserted into the corn might
transfer into the DNA of your gut bacteria, producing long-term effects.
These are just a couple of the many potential side-effects of GM crops
that critics say put the public at risk." Lerman

Environmental issues ConAgra has been criticized for its lack of
response to global warming. A 2006 report by CERES, a non-profit
organization that works to address global climate change and other
sustainability issues, titled "Corporate Governance and Climate
Change: Making the Connection," measures how 100 leading global
companies are responding to global warming. Companies in the report were
evaluated on a 0 to 100 scale. ConAgra scored a total of 4 points, the
lowest of any of the food companies rated.[2] in 2002, ConAgra, together
with other major food and beverage companies including PepsiCo, General
Mills, Kellogg, Sara Lee, and H.J. Heinz Co., spent heavily to defeat
Oregon's measure 27, which would have required food companies to label
products that contain genetically modified ingredients.[3] According to
the Oregon Secretary of State, ConAgra contributed $71,000 to the
campaign to defeat the ballot initiative.[4] establish 1922,

"In 1992 a 107-page congressional report was issued by Rep. John
Conyers Jr., urging Bush to fire Roskens,
who had "abused the public trust" for private gain until AID's
inspector general "forced a change in his patterns of
behavior." His "patterns," according to the Washington
Post for October 2, 1992, included "taking thousands of dollars
from outside organizations, including some that do business with

Daily "Toxic Pollen From Widely Planted, Genetically Modified
Corn Can Kill Monarch Butterflies, Cornell Study Shows ScienceDaily (May
21, 1999) — ITHACA, N.Y. -- An increasingly popular commercial corn,
genetically engineered to produce a bacterial toxin to protect against
corn pests, has an unwanted side effect: Its pollen kills monarch
butterfly larvae in laboratory tests, according to a report by Cornell
University researchers. ... See also: Plants & Animals
Insects and Butterflies Agriculture and Food Genetically Modified Trends
& Issues Reference Transgenic plants Prairie Restoration Biological
pest control Genetically modified organism Writing in the latest issue
(May 20) of the journal "Nature", the Cornell researchers note
that this hybrid crop, known as" Bt"-corn, has genes from the
bacterium" Bacillus thuringiensis" ("Bt") spliced
into the plant genes. These hybrids are very effective against the
ravenous European corn borer, a major corn pest that is destroyed by the
plant's toxic tissue. The engineered corn is safe for human
consumption. ... Unlike many pesticides, the
"Bt"-corn has been shown to have no effect on many "nontarget"
organisms -- pollinators such as honeybees or beneficial predators of
pests like ladybugs. But the "Bt-"modified corn produces
pollen containing crystalline endotoxin from the bacterium genes. When
this corn pollen is dispersed by the wind, it lands on other plants,
including milkweed, the exclusive food of monarch caterpillars and
commonly found around cornfields. ... Says John E. Losey,
Cornell assistant professor of entomology and the primary investigator
on the study: "We need to look at the big picture here. Pollen from
"Bt"-corn could represent a serious risk to populations of
monarchs and other butterflies, but we can't predict how serious the
risk is until we have a lot more data. And we can't forget that Bt-corn
and other transgenic crops have a huge potential for reducing pesticide
use and increasing yields. This study is just the first step, we need to
do more research and then objectively weigh the risks versus the
benefits of this new technology." ... Like all grasses,
corn is wind-pollinated, and the pollen can be blown more than 60 yards
from the edge of cornfields. "Pollen is that yellow dusting your
car gets on spring and summer days; pollen is everywhere," Losey
explains. "That's why we are concerned about this
problem." ... Other researchers on the study were Linda
S. Rayor, Cornell instructor in entomology, and Maureen E. Carter,
Cornell research aide. ... "Monarchs are considered to
be a flagship species for conservation. This is a warning bell,"
says Rayor. "Monarchs themselves are not an endangered species
right now, but as their habitat is disrupted or destroyed, their
migratory phenomena is becoming endangered." ... In the
laboratory tests, monarchs fed milkweed leaves dusted with so-called
transformed pollen from a "Bt"-corn hybrid ate less, grew more
slowly and suffered a higher mortality rate, the researchers report.
Nearly half of these larvae died, while all of the monarch caterpillars
fed leaves dusted with nontransformed corn pollen or fed leaves without
corn pollen survived the study." BT corn, BT-corn, BT Cron
