America's Perfect Intelligence Targeting Activists
http://www.opednews.com/articles/opedne_pamela_d_061226_america_s_perfect_in.htm

by Pamela Drew




Even among alternate media there is a story that never makes the news. For all the 9/11 conspiracy sites, Downing Street Memo clamor and talk of Bush Administration attacks on individual freedoms and human rights abuses, few Americans pay any attention to what is being done to the food supply. Even the most progressive thinkers yawn at the notion that any harmful elements, our fast food nation consumes, are beyond "acceptable" bounds.

While most Americans sit back, generally accepting the idea that there are bigger problems than our food quality, the rest of the world fights. For the last ten years Americans have been fed genetically modified foods that are untested, unregulated and all discussion has been banned from American media. The privatization of the world's food supply and a shift to the petrochemical companies control goes unnoticed in America despite rates of allergies and illness soaring out of control.

Even as I type it is frustrating to know that the readers anxious to hear about another revelation of abuse will probably skip the article and go buy a latte to drink while thinking of the world's "real" problems. Any suggestion that they may be swallowing an herbicide laced soy or genetically engineered hormone milk will be shrugged off as an extremist claims because everyone knows that as broken as Congress is, there's no way they would allow toxic food to become a dietary staple. Guess again.

While the rest of the world fights and talks of policies like the Iraq CPA Order 81 which is transforming the war torn agriculture to corporate revenue for Monsanto, ignorant Americans support the toxic policy by putting Round Up Ready soy into their grocery carts and tolerate a media that will not whisper a word about the food supply.

1. What a shame this article has to be in the OpEd section..
It is vital this news be shouted from the rooftops and Americans made aware
of the tainting of their food supply by bioengineering company's, (mainly) Monsanto.

Disgraceful!
