Organic Valley will match you dollar-for-dollar to a maximum of $25,000 if you’ll help the Center for Food Safety fight GM Alfalfa.

Please join Organic Valley in supporting the Center for Food Safety’s fight against Monsanto’s Roundup Ready GM Alfalfa!

The Center for Food Safety (CFS) has a long history fighting to stop the proliferation of genetically modified crops. In 2010 they battled Monsanto and the USDA at the U.S. Supreme Court, and were victorious in maintaining the four year ban on the planting and sale of GM alfalfa. CFS also fought successfully to uphold a ban on GM sugar beets; in November, a federal judge ordered the removal and destruction of illegally planted GM beets.

Now that sounds all fine and dandy, but it turns out that Organic Valley and the Center for Food Safety are not what they seem to be.

Let’s think back to just a few short months ago when word broke out that the “organic elite” – consisting of Organic Valley, Whole Foods Market, and Stonyfield Farms – pretty much sold out to the Monsanto agenda

“The policy set for GE alfalfa will most likely guide policies for other GE crops as well. True coexistence is a must.”   -  Whole Foods Market, Jan. 21, 2011

In the wake of a 12-year battle to keep Monsanto’s Genetically Engineered (GE) crops from contaminating the nation’s 25,000 organic farms and ranches, America’s organic consumers and producers are facing betrayalA self-appointed cabal of the Organic Elite, spearheaded by Whole Foods Market, Organic Valley, and Stonyfield Farm, has decided it’s time to surrender to Monsanto. Top executives from these companies have publicly admitted that they no longer oppose the mass commercialization of GE crops, such as Monsanto’s controversial Roundup Ready alfalfa, and are prepared to sit down and cut a deal for “coexistence” with Monsanto and USDA biotech cheerleader Tom Vilsack.

And while the Center for Food Safety presents itself as anti-GMO, it turns out that they are actually funded by the spearheaders of the GMO movement – the Rockefellers.

Some “non-profit” tax exempt 501(c)3 organizations have been known to engage in controlled opposition. For example, the Center for Food Safety (CFS) represented farmers in opposition to Monsanto in the Supreme Court GMO alfalfa case and in many other anti-GMO cases. While we have no way of knowing whether Andrew Kimbrell, the Executive Director of CFS and his brother George (of counsel) performed solid work in opposing Monsanto or whether they sandbagged the endeavor, there are reports that CFS and its parent company have taken in $1.75 million dollars from the John Merck Fund, which has ties to the Rockefeller Family Fund. Andrew Kimbrell of CFS filed a petition with the EPA to ban colloidal silver which is a natural antibiotic agent with many benefits that competes directly with Merck’s dubious pharmaceutical drugs. This organization has the appearance of working in the public’s interest, but in a separate action, it has operated in opposition to public benefit.

According to tax forms provided by Guidestar.org, the Center for Food Safety, a NPO whose lawyers have represented farmers against Monsanto, is a recipient of a grant from the Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors foundation for $75,000 in 2008 and the Center for Food Safety’s sister agency, the International Center for Technology Assessment, received $147,000 from the Rockefeller Family Fund in 2008.  This would appear to be a deep conflict of interest because the Rockefellers have been primary funders for advancing the genetically modified food revolution and agricultural manipulation as chronicled in F. William Engdahl’s book ‘Seeds of Desrtuction’.

Perhaps a more fitting name for the CFS (Center for Food Safety) would be Criminals for Frankenfood Supremacy.

CSPI Applauds Shills for USDA’s New Healthy Eating Plate

Statement of Propaganda from CSPI “Nutrition” Policy Director Margo G. Wootan

June 2, 2011

USDA’s new healthy eating graphic is a huge improvement over the inscrutable food pyramid no different from the USDA’s phony Food Pyramid, but we say it’s a huge improvement, therefore it’s a huge improvement, and if you say otherwise, you’re in bed with the junk food industry and CCF.

While no one graphic can communicate every nuance of healthy eating, this easy-to-understand illustration hard-to-decipher clusterfuck will help people remember condition people into thinking what we think their own plate should look like. It likely will shock most people into recognizing that they need to eat a heck of a lot more vegetables and fruits. Most people are eating about a quarter of a plate of fruits or vegetables, not a half a plate as recommended. (Oh, and whole grains are good for you, too. Don’t believe the low-carb troofers who want you to believe that carbs cause obesity. After all, that’s why we had our “opposition” – the Center for Consumer Freedom – co-opt and hijack the low-carb movement so we can discredit the low-carb movement as “industry propaganda”.)

WiselyBy design, USDA is investing in a comprehensive campaign to get the new food plate and key healthy eating messages out to the public. USDA’s simple messages, such as “switch to low-fat milk” – we need to shill for the low-fat agenda so we can shrink your fatty computers called “brains” and turn you into obedient, compliant slaves – and “drink fluoridated water – because fluoride is part of our agenda to turn your brains into mush and turning you into obedient, compliant slaves – instead of sugary drinks (and remember, pure organic cane sugar is just as bad for you as high-fructose corn syrup, and don’t forget that our buddies at Cargill have co-opted the stevia movement with their toxic Truvia and using it to make the sheeple beg for stevia to be banned),” prioritize the 95-page Dietary Guidelines for Americans into key dietary actions official government propaganda that can won’t do diddly-squat to help people avoid heart disease, diabetes, and other nutrition-related health problems. (After all, we’re funded by Big Pharma, so we need to have heart disease, diabetes, and obesity so you dumb schmucks will buy our Big Pharma overlords’ toxic drugs which will make the situation worse.)

And don’t forget, sheeple. Monsanto didn’t write the “food safety” bill. Only “radical bloggers” and “domestic extremists” spread such lies.

Sincerely,

Margo Wootan

“Nutriton” Policy Director
Ministry of Health (to you ignorant rubes, we’re the Center for Science in the Public Interest)
