Everyone else, listen up.

I hate GMOs (genetically modified organisms) and their insidious sidekick, chemical farming, with the same passion I reserve for pedophiles, politicians, abortionists and big bankers.

It’s easy to sell most people the idea that there exists a big-banking cartel that manipulates the world’s economy: but most aren’t aware of a similar cartel affecting their food supply. I am speaking primarily about the agribusiness (seed + chemicals) cartel headed up by Monsanto and Dow Chemical companies.

These companies are fabulously successful in the financial sense, which means that there is probably no way to uproot their boards and top executives. And, on a world-wide scale, they are behemoths with the political clout of the US government behind them. That means that, effectively speaking, they have a seat on the Security Council of the United Nations and access to the full political machinery of grants, foreign aid, trade sanctions, trade embargos and military intervention.

Did I leave anything out?

At the very top of any such corporation sit a small collection of board members and chief executives … men, and sometimes women, who have sold their own grandmother already and are willing to sell yours, too. Below them are skilled administrators who may or may not be clued in on the overall goals of the corporation, but have still managed to figure out the bulk of them well enough to contribute to them. Everybody likes being on a winning team, so they do their best to advance the ball down the field … developing legal and illegal strategies alike. The folks nearer the bottom can’t see much of the overall pattern, but the pay is good and their kids need dental work. So they do their part, too.

At times I am very agitated about all of this and ask myself questions such as: “Is it morally wrong to kill someone whose only public fault was to knowingly poison the world’s food supply, and those farmers whose hard labors provide it, in the name of corporate greed?”

Probably. Murder is such a complicated topic. It’s certainly illegal and a show of poor manners. Besides which, the Bible book of Revelation shows that such an action, while momentarily satisfying, would be ultimately futile and come at great personal cost. That last part … about not messing in Gods’ business … is what stays my hand.

So, the borg gets to live.

For now. Revelation shows that the borg is on target to meet a much stronger foe than I could ever be. (Re 11:18) I hope I am around to witness that.

Okay … here’s the link that has me steamed today. I usually stay pretty tense about this topic, but today if I had blood pressure pills, I’d be swallowing them like candy. As you read it, remember to stay calm: the link only applies if you eat food or wear clothes.

Please follow that link. It is one of the things you need to be aware of.

(Revelation 6:6) . . .And I heard a voice as if in the midst of the four living creatures say: “A quart of wheat for a de·nar?i·us, and three quarts of barley for a de·nar?i·us; and do not harm the olive oil and the wine.”
