THE GMO SCRAPBOOK, AND HONG KONG: DID THE GMO THING JUST BECOME ...

Most readers her know I've been entertaining the hypothesis that eventually GMOs would become a geopolitical issue, and that the BRICSA nations would make it so, and in support of this, I've been blogging from time to time about Russian and/or Chinese moves to prohibit GMOs altogether while genuine long term scientific and environmental studies could be conducted (Russia), or certain specific targeted bans of GMO products (usually American) have occurred (China).

In China's case, there's yet another targeted GMO ban that recently was issued by Beijing:

China Rejects U.S. Hay Exports Due to Genetically Modified Alfalfa Contamination

"The Chinese used to be quite confident that their hay was GMO free, but all that is about to change. Hay exported to the country from the U.S. is currently in quarantine due to the detection of GMO traits, specifically of genetically modified alfalfa, according to a USDA spokesperson.

"This isn’t a singular occurrence, either. Last year, a Washington State grower’s hay was rejected after it tested positive for GMO alfalfa. This doesn’t sit well with China, since all imported hay is supposed to be GMO-free. If the trend continues, they could boycott all US grown hay completely. They aren’t willing to feed their livestock hay grown with Round Up Ready traits – yet for some reason, many US farmers still are.

"Chinese officials are already preparing to implement more stringent testing thresholds to keep the GM alfalfa out of their imports."

This is following a by-now familiar pattern: China detects a GMO presence in certain products, and then issues a prohibition against that particular product, whereas, as we've also seen, Russia has been targeting the whole issue on "philosophical" principles.

But lately we've seen something else happening: first, we blogged recently about the general military exercises conducted by the Chinese military, and it was speculated by some sources that this could have been either in response to a coup attempt against Mr. Xi's government, or a message by his government against the more "western-minded" banksters of Shanghai. Secondly, more recently we've see the explosion of the Hong Kong demonstrations, and Paul Craig Roberts has posted an article on his website by Tony Cartalucci that indicates that he is - like many others including this author - highly suspicious both of the timing and sweeping extent of these demonstrations, smelling the usual "covert operations hidden hand" behind them:

US Government Is Funding The Hong Kong “Student Protests”

And last but not least, some are now beginning to question Mr. Xi's hold over the Chinese military itself:

China's Military May Have Gone 'Rogue' After All

So what's going on here?

Well, I suspect, as you probably do also, that China is now showing the first signs and symptoms of US-led and backed "nation-building" and "democracy seeding," and it makes perfect sense, if only from the GMO-geopolitics point of view, though of course there are many other geopolitical and financial factors in play. After all, there's not much else that America can sell to China; they certainly don't need our technology or weapons, they have their own. We don't manufacture much else, other than airplanes, and China and Boeing have been dancing a delicate ballet for years. So what it portends, I fear, is a growing opportunity for western covert operations against that country and its government.

But as I keep trying to warn people, and especially those insane psychopaths in Wall Street, London, and Washington: covert operations are a game that more than one country,and for that matter, more than one extraterritorial group or cult, can play...

See you on the flip side...

    Hmmm two can play that game. All this stuff with China places Ebola in an interesting light. With reports of nurses and emts striking, how do you think the public is going to react when they realize no one is coming when they call 911 and the hospitals are closed. I’m seriously thinking Ebola might be a taste of our governments own order out of chaos medicine.

    I haven’t yet read all the comments here so maybe it’s been suggested already but after reading Paul Craig Robert’s blog post something dawned on me. Either last week or the week before JPF had the video about the Rockefeller foundations divesting their petroleum interests, what if in addition to fusion or some other lucrative investment coming down the pipe, they were covering their asses in relation to either Ukraine’s or now China’s “popular” uprisings? I know the Russian petroleum pipelines that supply Europe are a big issue in the Ukraine. What if the funding of the recent nation building activities abroad can be traced back to the Rockefellers via their foundations via their petroleum interests? If true then might it mean that someone somewhere is hot on their trail?

    Speaking of “covert operations are a game that more than one can play”, here is something interesting happening, the Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe has just met with president Xi jinping’s special “cultural envoy” in Tokyo.
    http://www.scmp.com/news/china/article/1612369/chinese-envoy-li-xiaoli:n-and-japanese-pm-shinzo-abe-meet-amid-strained
    @”Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said Li and Abe met at a cultural event, adding that the two countries should step up cultural exchanges to improve Japan-China relations.”

    Obviously, the meeting itself and the signaling of “improve Japan-China relation” are worth paying attention to, but for me there is something about that “cultural event”, which in itself is interesting as well. The “cultural event” here is referring to “Crested ibis”, a ballet dance performed by Shanghai Ballet on Tuesday.
    Back in 1998, China gave one of its most endangered species crested ibis to Japan for a joint effort in preserving the animal, hence the recent ballet dance “Crested ibis” is to symbolize the “cooperation” and “friendship” between these two nations.
    And guess what’s happening in Russia in the meantime? Presdient Vladimir Putin was celebrating his 62nd birthday in the wilds of Siberia,then a Tiger was released into wild by him that crossed into China, (as reported by BBC piece titled “Tiger released into wild by Vladimir Putin crosses into China”) and the Russians are asking their Chinese colleagues to keep an eye on the animal, in other words, another instance of the cooperation of two neighbouring countries symbolized by their joint effort in “preserving life”. Coincidence or by design?

    It’s pertinent to add, president Putin has already agreed to meet with prime minister Shinzo Abe at the APEC summit which will be held in Beijing next month, but whether prime minister Abe would be able to meet with president Xi jinping or not remains an uncertainty.
    My personal suspicion and speculation would be, there could be some kind of joint effort by Russia and China to steer Japan away from the Anglo-American orbit. If that was to happen, it will be the biggest “covert operation” yet for the ‘Eastern alliance’, and a geopolitical earthquake and disaster for the “Western-elites”.

    @”But as I keep trying to warn people, and especially those insane psychopaths in Wall Street, London, and Washington: covert operations are a game that more than one country,and for that matter, more than one extraterritorial group or cult, can play…”

    The Agarthan resistances (i would imagine that would at least have to include the “Celtic Europeans” and “Taoist Orientals”) have probably been doing that ever since the end of the age of Atlantis.
    The conflict and intrigues between the sons of Belial and the followers of the One rages on to this day, but all the signs are its reaching some kind of grand finale.

    And for what is worth, i think the key here is not “extraterritorial”, but each of us, individual human beings here on earth, we are not as powerless as the powers that be (particularly in the West) want to us to think we are.

    If more ordinary people started to change their vibrational frequency, then this matrix of deceit, control and lies would inevitably wane and collapse.

      @”The Agarthan resistances (i would imagine that would at least have to include the “Celtic Europeans” and “Taoist Orientals”) have probably been doing that ever since the end of the age of Atlantis.”

      perhaps its not simply a coincidence that Mr.Edward Snowden happens to be a “Buddhist”, that Mr.Scott Bennett hinted at his “relationship” with the NSA whistleblower,
      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jo8Xm46s62I

      Mr. Scott’s mention of the word “spiritual” and the emphasise of his “Scottishness” is interesting

      after the founding father of America have had the similar “spiritual experiences”. Agarthans at work?

    If anyone ever doubted that GMOs were completely and totally about selling more glyphosate (Roundup) to poison the gut bacteria of the world then I give you alfalfa. A perenial plant which can go decades in the ground without rain and yet sprout when rain hits. A plant so aggressive it chokes out weeds.

    And can you guess who grows 7 million hectares (second to only the USA with 9) ….. Argentina! And who just signed on to trade with China for several billion in non-US$$? Any bets that next years crop in Argentina will be all non-GMO alfalfa? With a big chunk destined for China?

    As to the anti-whatever rants I found them funny as I have no use for the 3 Abrahamic, monotheistic cults that dominate the world. Think of the “3 Stooges Death Cult” and you see where I’m at.



  8. loisg on October 8, 2014 at 12:17 pm

    I think your statement of the “extraterritorial group or sect” is key here, as I’m beginning to think that America is not behind this at all, but we are as much a victim of these people as anyone else, and they are using America as a shield for their activities. Your post of the attempts on the White House and the possible message that that could be sending the President is a good example. If the President and Congress are being forced to toe the line, then they aren’t in control, so America as a nation is not the main player here, but someone else. Maybe we should stop blaming “America” and start just blaming this group.

Obesity, diabetes, allergies have gone off the scale due (to name a few) to the ingesting of GMO interlaced toxins. This is just one of the arrows in the “Soft Kill” arsenal. Start a garden.



  10. marcos toledo on October 8, 2014 at 9:49 am

    Just think of GMO Alfalfa-Hay as the twenty first century equivalent of nineteenth century British Raj Opium. Just a new way to turn the Chinese into zombie workers for the Anglo-Americans and keep them in there place. All these GMO’s will do in the long run will is destroy the one remaining industry America has left. And yes Dana contaminating the livestock, crops and land is what our oligarchs have in mind.



  11. Lost on October 8, 2014 at 8:50 am

    Those who think the west is running the protests in Hong Kong, so some in the central Chinese government and Global Research, have about as much credibility as those who think George Soros ran the Occupy Wall street demonstrations.

    After hundreds of years of rule from afar, by Great Britain, China, despite promises, is trying to run Hong Kong from afar, this time Beijing.



  12. Frankie Calcutta on October 8, 2014 at 7:56 am

    Here is a tip for the Chinese leadership: why not ban GMO humans from your country? That would keep out any American CIA/State Department/NGO troublemakers.

    My other tip would be to buy up all that relatively cheap American farm land and grow your own non-GMO feed (and livestock) for shipment back to China. I’m no expert but I don’t think any US laws can stop the Chinese from doing this. Consider it a covert operation as it would return agricultural jobs to the US and build goodwill with regular Americans who only know China through the cheap manufactured goods they buy at Wal Mart and the food they engorge themselves on at the pervasive Chinese buffet feeding lots. (Could these be a covert op? MSG mind control or possibly an attempt to make Americans so unfit that they can’t defend themselves from invasion? Clearly the Chinese have detected that Americans have a predominance of pig genetics and therefore our stealthily taking advantage of it with their “all you can eat” restaurants. Maybe the far planning Chinese are way ahead of us and are already raising Americans to be livestock for Asian markets, or maybe even for trade with other planets when the space frontier soon opens up).

    In the least, a Chinese expansion into US farm land would also give the Chinese an excellent opportunity to influence US politics on all levels– for the states it would be much welcome new business and job growth, and for the politicians in the federal government it would be a whole new source of bribes which they could accept openly and not have to be handed to them in back alleys or motel rooms with their call girls/boys watching– the way Chinese communists, manufacturers, and defense contractors bribe them today. The other plus for the Chinese: they could tout the yuan and even overpay their American employees with it, thus flooding the US with Chinese currency. Or, to steal a page from the banskters playbook– the Chinese could issue credit to their employees to be used on Chinese goods or, at least, to be used at the company store– Wal Mart. The only down side I see to a strong Chinese presence in rural America: the rich and practical Chinese would have no interest in improving the abysmal public schools as the Chinese may perceive that they too benefit from stupid workers. How smart does one need to be to bale hay? And the Chinese farm managers can just send their kids to private schools thereby increasing their chance to take over America without firing a shot because their private schools will produce smart, capable leaders.



    • Frankie Calcutta on October 8, 2014 at 8:00 am

      I do know this: if the Chinese decide to make a large scale foray into American farm land for the purpose of growing their own non-GMO food, the big winner will be the clever but always underestimated Amish who have already started to accumulate a good chunk of cheap American farm land. Whether they have done this out of good business sense, or because they plan to take over the US with their large families, or because their prophets have determined the Amish will rule the world after the apocalypse, I vote the Amish will be the preeminent yahweh sect of the future with their fresh business acumen and more Earth friendly, sustainable work ethic. I would even look forward to seeing their fresh, hardy faces plastered all over my tv if it would replace those revolting mugs from that currently predominant ancient yahweh sect which rules the airwaves today. (If I hear one more yiddish joke on an African-American sitcom…) Not to mention the mildly condescending term “the English” which the Amish use to describe non-Amish is far more preferable than the thoroughly derogatory appellation: “goyim” which the slave class is branded with today.

        • Frankie Calcutta on October 8, 2014 at 9:40 am

          Sag-Lost-ity,

          You are definitely slipping. I remember when you were capable of much more spirited annoyances in defense of your favorite yahweh sect. Are they not paying enough? Maybe I can remedy that. I got a plan that will make us both rich, but it will require someone inside Israel, like yourself, as well as one of those unfortunate Ethiopians carted into the promised land for the glory of his soul (and also to clean ashkanazi toilets.) Are you familiar with El Bagdadi, the notorious bloodthirsty strongman leading ISIS? The US government has put a $25 million bounty on his head and if my plan works, I think you and I can share that fortune. It is going to require that we find out which synagogue he attends, as well as a couple of hazmat suits and the Ethiopian to play his part as the puking ebola victim. El Bagdadi’s real name is Elliot Simon and he is an Israeli citizen. See what you can find out about him and get back to me. Hurry up though because we don’t have much time. I have heard through the grapevine that El Bagdadi doesn’t like what the desert does to his skin and wants to get back to his shop in Beverly Hills where he is a successful hairdresser. While chances are he will be replaced with another Israeli, we can’t guarantee that. John McCain is really pushing for a Ukranian neo-nazi he is smitten with while Senator Graham from South Carolina is pushing for a dreamy young sodomite just released from a Saudi prison who loves dressing his male lovers up in burkas and horse whipping them.

          Of course, for a sneaky operation like this, we better communicate in code from now on. For starters, when I say: “cup cake” I will really mean El Bagdadi. And when I say “lingerie store” that will designate the location where the Ethiopian will puke on “cup cake” and you’ll be waiting in a vehicle nearby with the hazmat suits which I will refer to from now as “tuxedos.”

          good luck, Lost.

    Regime change has already occurred in this country. It occurred with the creation of the District of Columbia, the corporatization of the federal government and the creation of the federal reserve. Our government no longer represents the will of the people, it now represents the will of the corporation of the United States of America which is wholly owned by the private bankers who control the federal reserve and the global corporations. The constitution FOR the united states of America was quietly replaced by the corporate constitution OF the united states of America. A constitution to which the people are no longer a party.

    It is rather surprising to find an area in which the US is more competitive than Asia. In this regard: “Roughly 95% of U.S. hay exports originate in Washington, California and Oregon. Less than 4% of national forage production was exported in the 2012 crop year” (www.hayandforage.com).
    But hey (couldn’t resist!), hay is not exactly on the cutting edge of future world development trends… unless of course somebody wants to contaminate livestock and land with GMOs…
