A new paper shows that consuming genetically modified (GM) corn or soybeans leads to significant organ disruptions in rats and mice, particularly in livers and kidneys. By reviewing data from 19 animal studies, Professor Gilles-Eric Séralini and others reveal that 9% of the measured parameters, including blood and urine biochemistry, organ weights, and microscopic analyses (histopathology), were significantly disrupted in the GM-fed animals. The kidneys of males fared the worst, with 43.5% of all the changes. The liver of females followed, with 30.8%. The report, published in Environmental Sciences Europe on March 1, 2011, confirms that “several convergent data appear to indicate liver and kidney problems as end points of GMO diet effects.” The authors point out that livers and kidneys “are the major reactive organs” in cases of chronic food toxicity.
The GM soybean and corn varieties used in the feeding trials “constitute 83% of the commercialized GMOs” that are currently consumed by billions of people. While the findings may have serious ramifications for the human population, the authors demonstrate how a multitude of GMO-related health problems could easily pass undetected through the superficial and largely incompetent safety assessments that are used around the world. http://cryptogon.com/?p=21734

Ozone layer drops record 40% over Arctic

China Modifies Cows To Produce Human Breastmilk
Chinese scientists have announced that they have introduced human genes into a herd of 300 cows that will cause the cows’ milk to have much more “human” milk properties.
Farmers Sue Monsanto Over Crop Contamination
Monsanto, you see, has a long and evil history of suing farmers whose crops were contaminated with GMOs. Monsanto calls that a “theft” of intellectual property. Organic farming groups are attempting a unique legal strategy of preemptively suing Monsanto so that they won’t be blamed for “pirating” patented seeds that happen to blow onto their non-GMO crop fields. http://www.naturalnews.com/031922_Monsanto_lawsuit.html
You Will Eat What the State Mandates, or Else!
Killing your kids with fast foods is acceptable, with breast milk isn’t. The real message is that if you are planning a major dietary change, educate yourself on the ramifications of that change and act according to the data. http://www.naturalnews.com/031883_vegans_criminals.html

105 Year Old Street Car Film Footage
This is a fascinating movie taken in ‘Frisco just before the earthquake. A camera was mounted on the front of a street car. Some of the cars had steering wheels on the right side. I wonder when they standardised on the left? Sure were still a lot of horse drawn vehicles in use. Mass transit looked like the way to get around. Looks like everybody had the right of way.
Watch the beginning carefully. At the 33 second mark and immediately after an oncoming trolley clears the screen, a well dressed policeman walks across the street from left to right. Notice his right hand that he’s carrying a truncheon (26 inch police baton) and although he appears walking his beat, he looks ready to use it. Imagine the police of today walking down the street carrying a 26 inch club in their hand?
This film was originally thought to be from 1905 until David Kiehn with the Niles Essanay Silent Film Museum figured out exactly when it was shot. From New York trade papers announcing the film showing to the wet streets from recent heavy rainfall & shadows indicating time of year & actual weather and conditions on historical record, even when the cars were registered (he even knows who owned them and when the plates were issued!). It was filmed only four days before the Great California Earthquake of April 18th 1906 and shipped by train to NY for processing.
