DC & Corporate Fascists, Lie, LIes and More LIes

8-22-8 Before I became involved in nanotechnology, I was the head of a company that was affiliated with UUNet, the original US Internet backbone company when the Department of Defense privatized their DoD internet. During the Cold War, the DoD installed what they believed would be a communications system that would withstand a nuclear attack from Russia. Our focus was international and included fiber optics, high-speed, and bandwidth in incredible volume, etc. We moved to nanotechnology due to the expertise of our scientists in photonics - the physics of light. As part of the UUNet ­ CommAxxess strategy, we started going after telecoms that were entering Chapter 11 bankruptcy to put the screws to their shareholders.. » read more

Your Voice, and Mine, Got Monsanto's Attention!

Monsanto has announced that it will sell off its thriving Prosilac (TM) business. Prosilac is the trade name for recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone (rBGH), a hotly contested, controversial animal drug used to increase the milk output of cows.    Despite strong public, scientific and humane objection to the stuff, Monsanto estimates that 1/3 the cows in the US receive the drug which is frequently associated with very sick cows and, scientists assert, very sick people.  The number of disorders feared associated with rBGH treated milk runs from auto-immune disorders through Crohn's disease to cancer to premature puberty.  None the less, the FDA, USDA and Codex have permitted its use.. » read more

Everyday Slave Wages at Wal-Mart and Don't You Dare Complain

Slaves on the Chinese side making the stuff and slaves on the US side stocking the shelves and running the cash registers.. » read more
