Dear President Obama and White House Folks,
I thought maybe you understood how the Monsanto products, i.e RoundUp, etc. are linked with a number of diseases: erect penile dysfunction, testicular atrophy, cancer, Parkinson’s disease, etc. because these products are endocrine disruptors and feminize males. Herbicides, pesticides and products designed to kill make for sick people who incur major health care expenses. GMO seeds like RoundUp Ready are even worse. I have over 1,800 files proving the link between herbicides (sometimes called pesticides), that is Monsanto products that according to peer review scientific studies are linked with several diseases.
Demark has banned their products because they migrate into the water table.
The following news tells me your knowledge and that of your Cabinet is either lacking or you have a very dark agenda.
According to "The 100 Year Lie" by Fitzgerald testicular atrophy is up 600% since these products of Monsanto came on the market. Fitzgerald has created a time line of diseases and their increase and chemicals created. Monsanto's products are directly connected to over $100 million in health care costs.
If this is bad enough YOU put Monsanto in charge of "Food Safety".
“In a Tuesday afternoon press release, the FDA announced that Michael Taylor, a former Monsanto executive, had joined the agency as “senior advisor to the commissioner.” If the title is vague, the portfolio (pasted from the press release) is substantial—a kind of food czar of the Food and Drug Administration….” www.Grist.org clip from Tom Philpott on “Monsanto’s Taylor FDA Food Czar”.
Monsanto Runs the FDA
Monsanto, Monsanto
evil and mean
lies and hides
truth from sight
by might of law
with no oversight.
With corporate folk
guarding the gate
closed and shut
truth hid and gone
with no oversight
as profits are the pride
truth must hide.
Health takes a slide
millions will die
as Monsanto’s guys, run the FDA
truth hides, out of sight
as Congress and Cabinet are bought off
with no oversight, to stop a blight.

Obama Global Warming Plan Involves Cooling Air
John Holdren talks about his role as President Obama's science adviser during an interview with The Associated Press, in Washington, Wednesday, April 8, 2009. (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite)
WASHINGTON — Tinkering with Earth's climate to chill runaway global warming _ a radical idea once dismissed out of hand _ is being discussed by the White House as a potential emergency option, the president's new science adviser said Wednesday.
That's because global warming is happening so rapidly, John Holdren told The Associated Press in his first interview since being confirmed last month.
The concept of using technology to purposely cool the climate is called geoengineering. One option raised by Holdren and proposed by a Nobel Prize-winning scientist includes shooting pollution particles into the upper atmosphere to reflect the sun's rays.
Using such an experimental measure is only being thought of as a last resort, Holdren said.
"It's got to be looked at," he said. "We don't have the luxury ... of ruling any approach off the table."
His concern is that the United States and other nations won't slow global warming fast enough and that several "tipping points" could be fast approaching. Once such milestones are reached, such as complete loss of summer sea ice in the Arctic, it increases chances of "really intolerable consequences," he said.
Twice in a half-hour interview, Holdren compared global warming to being "in a car with bad brakes driving toward a cliff in the fog."
He and many experts believe that warming of a few degrees more would lead to disastrous drought conditions and food shortages in some regions, rising seas and more powerful coastal storms in others.
At first, Holdren characterized the potential need to technologically tinker with the climate as just his personal view. However, he went on to say he has raised it in administration discussions.
"We're talking about all these issues in the White House," Holdren said. "There's a very vigorous process going on of discussing all the options for addressing the energy climate challenge."
Holdren said discussions include Cabinet officials and heads of sub-Cabinet level agencies, such as NASA and the Environmental Protection Agency.
The 65-year-old physicist is far from alone in taking geoengineering seriously. The National Academy of Sciences is making it the subject of the first workshop in its new climate challenges program for policymakers, scientists and the public. The British Parliament has also discussed the idea. At an international meeting of climate scientists last month in Copenhagen, 15 talks dealt with different aspects of geoengineering.
The American Meteorological Society is crafting a policy statement that says "it is prudent to consider geoengineering's potential, to understand its limits and to avoid rash deployment."
Last week, Princeton scientist Robert Socolow told the National Academy that geoengineering should be an available option in case climate worsens dramatically.
Holdren, a 1981 winner of a MacArthur Foundation "genius" grant, outlined these possible geoengineering options:
_ Shooting sulfur particles (like those produced by power plants and volcanoes, for example) into the upper atmosphere, an idea that gained steam when it was proposed by Nobel laureate Paul Crutzen in 2006. It would be "basically mimicking the effect of volcanoes in screening out the incoming sunlight," Holdren said.
_ Creating artificial "trees" _ giant towers that suck carbon dioxide out of the air and store it.
The first approach would "try to produce a cooling effect to offset the heating effect of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases," Holdren said.
But he said there could be grave side effects. Studies suggest that might include eating away a large chunk of the ozone layer above the poles and causing the Mediterranean and the Mideast to be much drier.
And those are just the predicted problems. Scientists say they worry about side effects that they don't anticipate.
While the idea could strike some people as too risky, the Obama administration could get unusual support on the idea from groups that have often denied the harm of global warming in the past.
The conservative think tank American Enterprise Institute has its own geoengineering project, saying it could be "feasible and cost-effective." And Cato Institute scholar Jerry Taylor said Wednesday: "Very few people would rule out geoengineering on its face."
Holdren didn't spell out under what circumstances such extreme measures might ever be called for. And he emphasized they are not something to rely on.
"It would be preferable by far," he said, "to solve this problem by reducing emissions of greenhouse gases."
Yet there is already significant opposition building to the House Democratic leaders' bill aimed at achieving President Barack Obama's goal of cutting greenhouse gas emissions 20 percent by 2020 and 80 percent by 2050.
Holdren said temperatures should be kept from rising more than 3.6 degrees. To get there, he said the U.S. and other industrial nations have to begin permanent dramatic cuts in carbon dioxide pollution by 2015, with developing countries following suit within a decade.
Those efforts are racing against three tipping points he cited: Earth could be as close as six years away from the loss of Arctic summer sea ice, he said, and that has the potential of altering the climate in unforeseen ways. Other elements that could dramatically speed up climate change include the release of frozen methane from thawing permafrost in Siberia, and more and bigger wildfires worldwide.
The trouble is that no one knows when these things are coming, he said.
Holdren also addressed other topics during the interview:
_ The U.S. anti-ballistic missile program is not ready to work and shouldn't be used unless it is 100 percent effective. The system, which would be used to shoot down missiles from countries like North Korea or Iran "needs to be essentially perfect ... that's going to be hard to achieve."
_ Holdren said NASA needs some changes. He said the Bush administration's plan to return astronauts to the moon was underfunded so money was taken from science and aeronautics. Those areas, including climate change research, were "decimated," he said.
The administration will "rebalance NASA's programs so that we have in space exploration, a suitable mix of manned activities and robotic activities," Holdren said. Doing that "will only get under way in earnest when a new administrator is in place."
Holdren, who advises the president on such decisions, said he hopes Obama will pick a new NASA boss soon.

Geo-engineering the Planet - Cure for Global Warming?
Professor John P. Holdren, Director July 1, 2009
Office of Science and Technology, Executive Office of the President
725 17th St., Room 5228, Washington, D.C. 20502
Dear Director Holdren:
It has come to my attention that the Global Warming crisis has opened up a discussion on ways to possibly geo-engineer the climate as a potential emergency option. You should ask to be briefed on a planet wide program to spray barium, aluminum oxide, and other chemicals at high elevation that expand to create a cloud cover from horizon to horizon after multiple passes from the military planes at high elevation since 1998. Some pilots have gotten bored with just straight back and forth to fill the sky and instead make huge horizon to horizon tic-tac-toes grids. A sunny day becomes overcast.
I have witnessed this happening in four states. Polarized sunglasses make the cloud cover look like oil slicks. Not so with con-trails. Videos, books and web pages have shared captured images with several million people. Heavy chem-trails (common name confirmed with tests) were observed everyday for more than 45 days at a time. During this time no rain or snow fell. Drought records were broken in state after state. Even during the monsoon season spray equaled no rain.
There are several unintended consequences (or maybe not) of this ongoing eleven year program. Several countries have reported and recorded chem-trails. Chem-trails are showing up in films and on television as it is hard to have days when the sky is clear.
Laboratory tests have confirmed the presence of barium which does not occur naturally or normally. The pH of soils is being changed and crops are acquiring unexpected problems as farmers are perplexed as to why this is happening.
Even if this is part of HAARP; the Navy’s RFMP military program; the Air Force controlling the weather; or biological tests of DAARPA the consequences are too high.
Ongoing chronic and acute illnesses have resulted with physicians stumped as to what is causing a new syndrome. This has increased health care costs. Specifically a nationwide epidemic increase in cases of nose bleed, asthma, allergies, pneumonia, upper respiratory symptoms (that last and last) and a noticeable increase in arthritis symptoms. The chemical changes on the planet create conditions detrimental to health because it creates conditions just right for harmful mold and fungus. Not to mention the link between aluminum and the epidemic of memory loss, Alzheimers, and dementia.
Attached are articles by just two of the investigators that have reported and recorded the “mystery” program patented by Eastland.
Rather than trying to patch a problem why not get to the root and stop what is causing the problem? Prevention is always less expensive than a maybe solution. I have a few ideas on probable solutions. I’ve been discussing Global Survival with world leaders since 1983.

Cult of the Atom - Nuke Power's Report Card
Cult of the Atom: Secrets of the AEC book review NYT
THE CULT OF THE ATOM. The Secret Papers of the Atomic Energy Commission. By Daniel Ford. Illustrated. 273 pages. Simon & Schuster. $13.95. According to Daniel Ford, the mindset that allows obscurity to replace truthfulness flourished in the offices and adjunct laboratories of the now-superseded A.E.C. In ''The Cult of the Atom,'' Mr. Ford, an economist and former executive director of the Union of Concerned Scientists, persuasively assails what he regards as the duplicitous nature of much of the commission's work. Relying heavily on internal memoranda released through Freedom of Information Act requests, he explores the ways in which the A.E.C., empowered and directed by Congress not only to regulate the nuclear industry but also to promote nuclear energy, played ''the incompatible roles of coach and umpire, of partisan as well as judge.'' Mr. Ford argues that many Americans, who were defensive if not sorry about the bombings of Japan, welcomed the early utopian visions of nuclear power - including plutonium-heated swimsuits for scuba divers. Soon, as he describes it, leading scientists were ''looked upon as the high priests of a state religion.'' One can easily understand their unwillingness to admit infallibility, incompetence or ignorance. The result of this all-too-human response, Mr. Ford suggests, was the bypassing of the building of prototypes and the proliferation of very large nuclear reactors close to major metropolitan areas. According to Mr. Ford, A.E.C. engineers who reviewed the safety devices at the Indian Point plant in Westchester County ''used to joke half-seriously among themselves'' that its site at Buchanan, N.Y. ''should be renamed 'Hiroshima-on-Hudson.' '' This is frightening: Mr. Ford describes many occasions on which the A.E.C. censored negative findings of its own scientists - or published inaccurately Pollyanaish precise stifled dissent in its ranks by cutting financing to recalcitrant staffers and relied on industry manufacturers to perform critical tests and write their own regulations. As an example, in 1971, the engineering staff of the A.E.C.'s National Reactor Testing Station in Idaho prepared a chart on the state of knowledge about emergency core-cooling systems. It listed in one column the 29 major technical areas where information was needed to predict whether the systems would work, and in another, it summarized the ''current status'' of available information. The ratings were as follows: four incompletes, three unverifieds, one preliminary, eight inadequates, two inaccurates, four uncertains and seven missing. In 1973, after almost two years of hearings on the systems, the A.E.C. reaffirmed the existing designs. At times, ''The Cult of the Atom'' reads like an awesomely bad report card.

Greetings Secretary Chu:
The Hanford Dose Reconstruction Project estimates my exposure at birth and for the first two years of my life at 2,900,000 MREMS of radiation in 1946. I’ve beat cancer two times and have had multiple health challenges in my sixty-three years. Eight of ten of my school friends are dead from cancer. Four of six of my immediate family has experienced cancer, two died from it. I’m alive because a Chinese M.D., fourth generation Acupuncturist, etc. treated me until I was cancer free. I still have other challenges that are a part of Radiation Sickness Syndrome and have had eight surgeries. I have spent my life seeking a way to stay alive.
I have researched nuclear power, Hanford, Chernobyl, Radiation and the history of the Atom. My bread board’s wood held up the drafting table that redesigned the Enola Gay to be able to drop the first atomic bombs.
At this time it will take the clean-up crews at Hanford 167 years to vitrify to glass the contents of storage tanks that leak radiation into the water table next to the Columbia River.
Between Three Mile Island and a Washington State Initiative that made the stock holders liable for cost over-runs rather than rate payers building new plants stopped.
Before this folly is taken up again it would be wise to review what was done wrong, find which safety features are lacking and open the warehouse full of black boxes that were filled with ignored as unsolvable problems by the AEC (because of cost considerations). When an agency of government is charged with both promoting and regulating such a potentially harmful or even deadly program the conflict creates a need for secrecy and bad decisions.
One critical problem that is flashing red and all regulators seem color blind to it is the emergency back up system that requires water (that would not be there) to push hydraulics up for an emergency shut down of the reactor core. I forget if this is a Westinghouse or General Electric design problem.
If you haven’t read “The Cult of the Atom: Secrets of the Atomic Energy Commission” by Daniel F. Ford published in 1982 by Simon and Schuster you would be wise to do so. So many of the problems of nuclear power plants were discovered as the new technology came online. The need to justify nuclear power as practicable was so great that if a critical problem would cost money it was black boxed and buried. I’ve attached a book review.
There are several other unintended consequences that have been suppressed through time that really should be addressed that are not covered by Mr. Ford’s book. If you are interested I could put together a briefing for you.
I spent a decade researching the moral and political thoughts of Mahatma Gandhi when I married into the family and administered special projects for the Gandhi Memorial International Foundation. I’ve participated with world leaders strategizing Global Survival at Conferences in Toronto, Oxford and Moscow. Now I do document searches of peer reviewed science, submit official comments to various public policy formulation processes and write poetry.

Senator Cantwell - Public Option is a Must
Senator Cantwell, June 25, 2009
You are now officially a Corpracrat. Being against the Public Plan as included in President Obama's Health Care Reform Plan is the very least you need to do. Your position will put affordable health care out of reach for millions because of having to pay 25 - 40% more than Health Care costs. Profiteering Big-Pharma and Insurance Mega Corporations are the trolls under the bridge on the way to health. And AMA Drs. making War on the bodies’ “invaders” does not build healthy bodies but attacks them thinking that will make the body fight back. What is really needed is Single Payer Universal Health Care. We do not need more obscenely priced drugs and inferior Drs. who together have created a pandemic of 500,000 deaths a year from Drs. “practicing medicine and prescribing drug combinations” that kill. This thinking and limited choice of access to true healers needs reform. Treating a symptom with a drug does not cure the cause of disease. Nobody’s body has ever had a deficiency of an Rx drug. The exception is for diabetes which is caused by Congressional subsidies to Corp. Agra-Biz for corn, its GMO products and ubiquitous caustic corn syrup.
I and many of my family, friends and community are very, very unhappy with your position against a “Public Option”. I have read and underlined parts of the President’s Plan. “Medical, Insurance, Pharma –M.I.P.- if what they have said is true, should - in a free market, be able to compete. Do you want to give M.I.P. free reign with no incentives to bring down costs or do you serve the people who voted for you, our families, elders, children, friends and community?
I voted and worked hard to defeat Gov. Dixie Lee Ray because she would have allowed the Northern Tier Oil Pipeline to destroy Puget Sound. We defeated her in the Primary, the first time in the history of the state. Are you next? Your position puts you in the "I will work to deny you your Senate seat in the next election camp; Even if I have to vote for an independent or run on the Green Party". I've gotten a law made and signed into law in 1988. I have wanted to be a United States Senator for decades.
I lost my right to run for the US Senate when Group Health denied me life saving surgery in 1976. I did what I had to in order to secure surgery. The day after I went to a private surgeon he spent two and 1/2 hours inside my pelvis that had massive adhesions from uterine tissues of my womb. from a previous surgery. I would have died without the surgery. I know of many who have died because they could not get care and because of the treatments they received like my younger brother. If you have a couple of hours I could tell you horror story after horror story and never repeat myself. Eight out ten of my high school pals are dead from cancer and its treatment. The dead believed that Medical/drugs, radiation and surgery used to attack their bodies hoping their immune system would kick in and heal the body failed. Harvard and the Mayo Clinic have declared chemotherapy contrary to survival.
Not a user friendly way to heal and be healthy. I’d rather focus on solutions.
Historically making a profit on healing or medical insurance was illegal until the Sherman Act took Health Care taken out of Our Commons. We are still paying the price for Hearst, Rockefeller, etc. profits.
The Medical - Insurance - Big Pharma inc., invested $3.4 million in Senator Baucus. How much did they pay to buy you off?
Since 1977 I have watched as Congress stood by and let monopolies destroy millions of American lives. Big Pharma lies, the AMA lies to suppress competition, the Medical Insurance Corps. lie, deny and maximize profit. They use lies to spread fear. Big Pharma Corps. have invested hundreds of millions of dollars in Big Tobacco stocks. The mark-up on drugs are obscene. Check my two attachments to verify.
I’m a Hanford Downwinder with a DOE number. I received 2,900,000 MREMS of radiation at birth in 1946. I’ve beat cancer two times because as an educated registered nurse I looked beyond AMA doctor’s “practicing” medicine and spent three decades researching how specifically to heal cancer and gain health. When I needed surgery I was able to have eight, starting at age eleven. I took responsibility to learn how to heal and detoxify my body. I’m alive, I have survived and I’ve written about my journey. 3 e-books, poetry, essays and photographs on www.tmgandhi.com share my solutions for individual and Global Survival.
There is no one talking about real reform in health care. All I’ve heard or read is that it is all about how many dollars will the AMA Drs. Big Pharma and Medical Insurance get from the hundreds of billions spent by a very sick American population. No debate on real reform has happened yet. That is what I want to be apart of. Why did acupuncture and Chinese herbs eliminate a brain tumor without brain surgery, more deadly radiation or cyotoxic drugs? This from an FBI authorized M.D. and 4th generation Chinese Master Acupuncturist at a fraction of what the AMA way would have cost. Radiation would have killed me like it did my brother at Fred Hutch. I wrote a speech for Dr. Jerry Goh when he was introduced to a Senate gathering.
I am looking at your record with squinted eyes. I and many believe the next election will throw the money changers, i.e. the Corpracrats, out of the Temple of Liberty, i.e., the Capitol. I am a 3rd generation democrat that has been and is very unhappy with the sold out corpracratic democrats.
I’ve been talking with others about replacing you and many others in the Senate & House. Please save me a lot of botheration and change your position to what we the people want instead of the lobbyists.

You are now officially a Corpracrat. Being against the Public Plan as included in President Obama's Health Care Reform Plan is the very least you need to do. Your position will put affordable health care out of reach for millions because of having to pay 25 - 40% more than Health Care costs. Profiteering Big-Pharma and Insurance Mega Corporations are the trolls under the bridge on the way to health. And AMA Drs. making War on the bodies’ “invaders” does not build healthy bodies but attacks them thinking that will make the body fight back. What is really needed is Single Payer Universal Health Care. We do not need more obscenely priced drugs and inferior Drs. who together have created a pandemic of 500,000 deaths a year from Drs. “practicing medicine and prescribing drug combinations” that kill. This thinking and limited choice of access to true healers needs reform. Treating a symptom with a drug does not cure the cause of disease. Nobody’s body has ever had a deficiency of an Rx drug. The exception is for diabetes which is caused by Congressional subsidies to Corp. Agra-Biz for corn, its GMO products and ubiquitous caustic corn syrup.
I and many of my family, friends and community are very, very unhappy with your position against a “Public Option”. I have read and underlined parts of the President’s Plan. “Medical, Insurance, Pharma –M.I.P.- if what they have said is true, should - in a free market, be able to compete. Do you want to give M.I.P. free reign with no incentives to bring down costs or do you serve the people who voted for you, our families, elders, children, friends and community?
I voted and worked hard to defeat Gov. Dixie Lee Ray because she would have allowed the Northern Tier Oil Pipeline to destroy Puget Sound. We defeated her in the Primary, the first time in the history of the state. Are you next? Your position puts you in the "I will work to deny you your Senate seat in the next election camp; Even if I have to vote for an independent or run on the Green Party". I've gotten a law made and signed into law in 1988. I have wanted to be a United States Senator for decades.
I lost my right to run for the US Senate when Group Health denied me life saving surgery in 1976. I did what I had to in order to secure surgery. The day after I went to a private surgeon he spent two and 1/2 hours inside my pelvis that had massive adhesions from uterine tissues of my womb. from a previous surgery. I would have died without the surgery. I know of many who have died because they could not get care and because of the treatments they received like my younger brother. If you have a couple of hours I could tell you horror story after horror story and never repeat myself. Eight out ten of my high school pals are dead from cancer and its treatment. The dead believed that Medical/drugs, radiation and surgery used to attack their bodies hoping their immune system would kick in and heal the body failed.

War Profiteering - Poem to President Obama
War Profiteering! Sent to President Obama 5-23-09
War profiteering in an illegal war
is truly sinful – shall I tell you more?
War not declared by Congress it’s said
is not a war as the media says.
Economic stimulus two such words
hiding lies way too big for words.
Money so huge and for 15 years back
goes back to the bad boys
the corporate thugs – General Motors
GE, Enron, Chevron/Texaco and yes
IBM – how could you guess
that Alternative Minimum – a retroactive non-tax
means Corporations pay less than zero - which is no tax
but corporate welfare to global giants
who can now hide profits outside of our land.
Never before but now legal it is
to hide corporate profits overseas.
Just the lost tax money admitted the 1st year
would be $12 billion no longer there.
Jews died with ease with IBM punch cards to tell
Nazi killers how to organize well
gets back $1.4 billion – IBM won’t tell.
In the millions – hundreds that is
General Motor $833, $671 to GE
$572 to Chevron/Texaco and $254 for Enron
hundreds of millions to stimulate greed.
Congress passed it and the Senate at night.
We must speak up and stop this blight
as an economic stimulus funds corporate flight!
* “In the councils of government we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial (Congressional) complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge (Congressional), industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together.” - President Eisenhower 1/17/1961 General Eisenhower farewell address, Congress was also to be feared but was edited out at the last minute. I would add Corporate Agriculture, Big Media, Insurance, Medicine and Pharmaceutical Corporations that put profit above the greater good.
