This article refers to GMO labeling, but also to toxic pharmaceuticals, harmful vaccines, and other chemical assaults on human health and life.<\/span><\/p>\n

There is a myth that the free market wins out against all odds. The consumer decides. He buys what he wants, and doesn\u2019t buy what he thinks is unhealthy. Pretty to think so, but false.<\/span><\/p>\n

There is another factor at work.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s called: crime.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a crime to poison people. <\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re the CEO of a corporation which sells poison under any name, in any package, a state or federal attorney should have your ass in court, and then in jail. For a long time.<\/span><\/p>\n

Label the poison products as \u201cdifferent?\u201d That\u2019s a stop-gap measure which come after the failure to prosecute. It\u2019s a solution put together with scotch tape and paper clips, and anyone who fails to realize that is sound asleep.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ballot initiatives to demand GMO labeling of food? Okay. But without also accusing corporations of selling poison (GMOs, Roundup)? Clueless. Ridiculous.<\/span><\/p>\n

Unless\u2026you really had a free market. If you destroyed any and all government enforcement-support and funding and phony praise of Pharma, big biotech, and other chemical companies, if you instituted a Wild West out there, a free-for-all, where anybody could sell anything and label it anything, then you might see some interesting results.<\/span><\/p>\n

People dropping like flies, illness spreading like pools and lakes of cyanide, citizens gunning down sellers and purveyors and CEOs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then consumer choice would take on a whole new meaning.<\/span><\/p>\n

But in this world, the one we live in, have you seen a single Big Pharma CEO put in prison for 50 years after killing thousands of people with a drug he sells relentlessly? A drug which he knows causes death? <\/span><\/p>\n

Of course not. He pays a billion-dollar fine, after already making $30 billion on the drug, and he promises to straighten up and fly right.<\/span><\/p>\n

If he\u2019s a vaccine maker, he\u2019s protected, by federal law, from civil suits filed by parents of children who died or were severely damaged by a shot.<\/span><\/p>\n

If his factory releases toxic chemicals into the ground and water, causing cancers, he fights in court for years and ends up paying a settlement to families.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is the sickening truth. And make no mistake, it is the government that protects and supports and bows down to these vicious criminals.<\/span><\/p>\n

The government already runs its own labeling operation on pharmaceuticals. As skewed as it is, it\u2019s supposed to give the consumer information he can use to make a choice.<\/span><\/p>\n

But every year in the US, by the most conservative mainstream measure, those drugs kill 106,000 people. That\u2019s over a million deaths per decade. (See Dr. Barbara Starfield, \u201cIs US Health Really the Best in the World?\u201d, July 26, 2000, Journal of the American Medical Association.)<\/span><\/p>\n

Would you work in a campaign to force drug companies and government to provide more accurate labeling information, unless that campaign aggressively attacked the corporations and government for supporting and protecting poisoners?<\/span><\/p>\n

And why would you even need to launch that attack in the first place? <\/span><\/p>\n

Because the Justice Department is a criminal racket that protects sellers of poison.<\/span><\/p>\n

They\u2019re an active partner in a kill-and-maim operation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Take off the sugar coating and look at the truth.<\/span><\/p>\n

So when a worker for one of the GMO labeling ballot campaigns comes to me, whining and complaining and screaming, because I criticize the leaders of the movement, I know I\u2019m talking to a person for whom the label, \u201cpolitical amateur,\u201d would be a massive compliment. That person is entirely clueless.<\/span><\/p>\n

Good intentions don\u2019t add up to victories.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here is what these willing and idealistic people are told by their leaders, if you scrape away the PR and get to the bottom line: \u201cWe want you to work for us so we can get a ballot measure passed. Now, we\u2019re not going to attack the bad guys who poison people every day. We\u2019re never going to do that. We just want to give the consumer a choice when he buys food. That\u2019s all. We want to get along. We\u2019re coexisting with corporate agriculture. Get used to it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Insanity.<\/span><\/p>\n

Imagine you live in a community where killers are on the loose. You know a big company on the hill is sending these men down your way to commit their heinous crimes. <\/span><\/p>\n

But the local government denies the existence of this operation. They say the evidence is inconclusive. <\/span><\/p>\n

Now you get an idea. You\u2019re going to certify all the non-killers in the neighborhood. They will wear badges labeled \u201csafe.\u201d Any person not wearing a badge in public should assiduously avoided.<\/span><\/p>\n

Your community (non-government) leaders tell you, \u201cWe\u2019re not going to criticize the company on the hill. We\u2019re not going to build a crescendo of outrage that will push the company against the wall. We\u2019re not going to march on the mayor\u2019s office and demand he arrest the CEO. We\u2019re just going to associate with the \u2018safes.\u2019 We\u2019ll only have \u2018safes\u2019 as friends.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

What does that mean? It means you\u2019re going to erect a bubble and live inside it and hope that the killers will stay away from what you call safe.<\/span><\/p>\n
