Thousands protest in Canada against vaccine mandates for truckers
January 30, 2022
Trucks rolled into Canada's capital Ottawa on Saturday (January 29) to stage what police say will be a massive protest against Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's COVID-19 vaccine mandates in front of parliament on a frigid winter day.
The so-called "Freedom Convoy", coming from east and west, started out as a rally against a vaccine requirement for cross-border truckers but has turned into a demonstration against government overreach during the pandemic with a strong anti-vaccination streak.
Genetic Engineering Is Introducing Potentially A Replacement Of Many Organisms In An Ecosystem With Unpredicted Side Effects

The leading consumer advocate promoting healthier non-GMO choices, Jeffrey Smith was named the 2017 "Person of the Year" by Masters of Health Magazine. For more than two decades, his research has exposed how biotech companies mislead policy makers and the public, and put the health of society and environment at risk.
Deregulating GMOs in the UK
by GM Watch, January 19, 2022
A new analysis by A Bigger Conversation suggests that, in its haste to deregulate agricultural gene technologies, the UK government is "choosing to get it wrong" by ignoring expertise from all sides.
The analysis, carried out by A Bigger Conversation, highlights multiple themes missed by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs’ (DEFRA) official analysis of responses to its 2021 public consultation on the regulation of genetic technologies. It shows that DEFRA's analysis was inadequate and divisive and failed to take account of public opinion.
The DEFRA public consultation on the regulation of genetic technologies was launched in January 2021 and the department’s report on its findings followed in September. At the same time the government announced that it would immediately begin a process of deregulating gene editing in England by:
* Using existing powers under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 to change the law in order to make applications for field trials for plants that have been produced by new genetic technologies simpler and less costly.
* Amending the current definition of a GMO in English law so that organisms produced by new genetic technologies are not classed as GMOs.
* Taking a longer-term review of how the UK regulates all types of genetically modified organisms in agriculture, with a view to further deregulation.
But a closer look at the data in Defra’s official analysis shows that the vast majority of those who responded expressed a preference for continued regulation of gene editing. This fact, alongside a consultation process that was fraught with problems and government reporting that was inadequate, prompted A Bigger Conversation to undertake its own analysis of consultation responses.
UK: "Apocalyptic Bird Flu" Jumps to Humans as Authorities Cull Millions of Birds
by Ice Age Farmer, January 7, 2022
Zoonotic transmission of an "apocalyptic bird flu," H5N1, has been reported in the UK, boasting a 50+% fatality rate for humans. However, digging deeper reveals that the asymptomatic "patient zero" was tested "constantly" until returning the result (false positive?) that authorities need to justify the ongoing culling of tens of millions of birds and claim that YOU cannot be allowed to raise your own animals to feed your family. Meanwhile, Australian grocers are rationing meat as asymptomatic workers are kept from work, resulting in abattoirs shutting down in Australia. How long will this test fraud scamdemic be allowed to continue? Until we stop it.

Monoculture Is A Violence Against The Law Of Nature
The Real Truth About Health, January 7, 2022
Besides being a physicist, ecologist, activist, editor, and author of numerous books, Vandana Shiva is a tireless defender of the environment. She is the founder of Navdanya, a movement for biodiversity conservation and farmers’ rights. She is also the founder and director of the Research Foundation for Science, Technology and Natural Resource Policy. Shiva fights for changes in the practice and paradigms of agriculture and food: "I don’t want to live in a world where five giant companies control our health and our food."
Intellectual property rights, biodiversity, biotechnology, bioethics, and genetic engineering are among the fields where Shiva has contributed intellectually and through activist campaigns. During the 1970s, she participated in the nonviolent Chipko movement, whose main participants were women. She has assisted grassroots organizations of the Green movement in Africa, Asia, Latin America, Ireland, Switzerland, and Austria with campaigns against genetic engineering. Shiva has also served as an adviser to governments in India and abroad as well as non-governmental organizations, including the International Forum on Globalization, the Women’s Environment and Development Organization, the Third World Network, and the Asia Pacific People’s Environment Network.
