UPDATE: 8/17 - CORP INFO - VATIC ALERT FOR CALIFORNIA: Monsanto and fellow Vampire Squids Dump $25 Million against GMO Labelling in CA.
at 03:00 Posted by Vatic Master
*** Californians, you need to call these numbers we have given you below and tell them if they contribute to the opposition for labeling we will assume their products contain GMO seeds and will not eat their products. Even organic co are funding opposition and that should worry you.
Vatic Note: Right below this first article is a list of names of companies that contributed to "defeat GMO labeling" in California. If this is NOT part of the depopulation program, then they should accept the labeling and offer both GMO to those too stupid to not eat it and non GMO produce for those us too smart to eat GMO products. I have already called two 4 of the companies on the list and explained to the person answering the health hazards to her, him, everyone, and that autopsies found "THE GMO READY ROUND UP PESTICIDE MARKERS IN DEAD PEOPLES STOMACHS THAT NEVER LEAVE, BUT CONTINUE TO POISON THE EATER OF THOSE PRODUCTS."
I also explained that WE ARE NOT STUPID OUT HERE... if they contributed to the opposition to labeling, it means they are using GMO products and thus we don't need the labeling, we have their names contributing against the labeling, so thus, we know they use it and we will boycott their products and grow and make our own. The only way around this for them, I told them, was to make both. GMO for those too stupid to know better, and the NON GMO labelled products for the rest of us. We need to call these companies and tell them this above.
You can find the full list of funders right here http://organicconsumersfund.org/label/prop-37-funders.cfm and an additional list of ORGANIC FOOD COMPANIES BETRAYING US CAN BE FOUND HERE! Be careful since 2008, the bankers have been consolidating their control over the food industry from farming all the way through manufacturing and into distribution, so some products you use are named differently than their parent company, so the first thing I asked smuckers was "do you represent dickenson family preserves?" and she said yes. So then I gave her my spiel. When you call, say "Krogers", ask first off the bat what the name of their parent company is and then check the list below that I am giving you.
Here are the two I called so far. Tell them you buy their products now, because you probably do, and that you will cease forever, and will pass that onto your children to never buy their products and family, friends, neighbors, co-workers etc.... everybody you can, to quit using their products since they have violated your trust as a provider of our food. Here is the first one and they are a big donor in the millions of dollars, its General Mills, 800-328-1144 and the other was Smuckers Jelly , (800) 535-5437, when you call them, tell them you will switch to the french jelly ST. Dalfour from France since france BURNED GMO FIELDS OF CROPS, THE PEOPLE DID IT, SO THEIR COMPANIES ARE NON GMO RIGHT NOW. So, we must call every single one of those companies and give them the what for..... Let them know we will never buy their products again since they contributed to the opposition meaning they are already using GMO in their products. See what they say. Tell them we also know how to get our food tested to be sure they are not lying. Here is the number for Campbell soup company 800-650-7347, this looks like the same number I called for Krogers, out of Ohio, so this may well be a subsidiary so ask if campbells is owned by a bigger company or vice versa. Does Campbell own Krogers
(UPDATE: Smuckers is blocking calls, Campbell soup was great and took down all the info and said they would pass it on for sure. So, we can find out what kind of companies these are by doing this. This is something we all can do.)
UPDATE: Article out by Natural News now lists additionally, ORGANIC COMPANIES CONTRIBUTING AGAINST LABELING... AND CASCADIA WAS ONE OF THEM. HERE IS THE PHONE NUMBER 800-624-4123. I called and told them that I am assuming their products contain GMO and she tried to use the argument that USDA was the organic standard and therefore no GMO. I informed her that the ORGANIC BOARD WAS THE STANDARD, NOT USDA.... USDA is just like FDA..... sell outs to industry.
Then there is BASF of Germany. What the hell is a German company doing inserting themselves into our state politics regarding our food???? They have no right to contribute to anything here. That means they must be doing this to their own German people and if that is the case. Here are pictures of their board members..... for the German people to study and memorize. This is fascism at its worse, and I would have thought these German leaders of industry would be even more sensitive to that condition. Here, read this and see what I am crazy about this. This is a 'CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY' http://www.naturalnews.com/036756_depopulation_agenda_eugenics_survivor.html#ixzz23T2qqefS
The Board of Executive Directorsof BASF SE
http://report.basf.com/2011/en/toourshareholders/boardofexecutivedirectors.html Go to this link and the roll over the picture works on there. We can then see who is connected to international banking. This is the same company that used to be part of IG Farben, so that screams volumes about their Fascist agenda. The picture was to show just how innocuous murderers can look. That is what the nazi's have planned for our depopulation they want to cull the population and reengineer humanity through the genetically modified food sources.
(Roll the mouse over the image for more information on the Members of the Board)
Below is the list of companies and you can find their 1-800 number on the product packaging if you currently buy their products. WE MUST FIGHT BACK WITH THE BIGGEST TOOL WE HAVE, OUR POCKETBOOKS. Its for the Children and our old people who are both vulnerable and harmed most by the GMO pesticide markers. We are seeing elderly in worst shape than I have ever seen them.... and they are dying rapidly and early.... so please, lets fight for them now. California is the test. Remember SB 510 where they will not let us grow our own food and they are putting our family farms out of business in record numbers and shipping our food growing to south america so they can do anything they want to our food without restrictions.. That is unacceptable. Lets fight back while we still can.
The Biotech Goliath Roars: Monsanto’s Gang Dumps $25 Million into NO on 37 Campaign to Label GMOs
http://www.organicconsumers.org/articles/article_26080.cfm
by Organic Consumers Association, Aug 16, 2012
Yesterday it was revealed that the biotech industry and Big Ag have already dumped $25 million - $4.2 million from chemical and seed giant Monsanto alone - into the campaign to defeat Proposition 37 in California, the November 6 citizens ballot initiative that will require genetically engineered foods to be labeled and put an end to the deceptive industry practice of marketing GMO-tainted foods as “natural” or “all natural.”
The California Secretary of State just released the latest Who’s Who of donors to the NO on 37 and YES on 37 campaigns. Topping the list of donors to the NO on 37 anti-labeling campaign is Monsanto and the rest of the Biotech agri-toxics gang, aided and abetted by processed food manufacturers and supermarket chains. As of Aug. 15, they’ve raised more than $25 million to keep you from knowing what’s in your food. And of course the November 6 election is still more than two months away. On our side, YES on 37, we’ve raised $2.7 million with several million more in pledges.
Who are the top donors on our side, calling for truthful labels on GMOs? The top two donors are Mercola.com, the nation’s largest network of natural health consumers, and the Organic Consumers Fund (OCF), the allied grassroots lobbying arm of the Organic Consumers Association. Mercola.com has already donated $800,000 to the cause, while the OCF has donated approximately $700,000 so far, almost all of which has come in the form of small donations from organic food consumers. Other large donors to the YES on 37 campaign so far include Nature’s Path, Dr. Bronner’s, Lundberg Family Farms, Eden Foods, and Organic Valley, leading brands in the organic industry.
It’s clear that the NO on 37 folks have a lot at stake – namely, grotesque profits. After Monsanto, the top donor is DuPont Pioneer, at more than $2.4 million. Pepsi/Frito Lay has moved into the no. 3 spot, at more than $1.7 million. In all, nine companies have pitched in more than $1 million each – most of them biotech and pesticide companies, along with Pepsi, Nestle and Coca-Cola.
Total number of major donors so far to the NO on Prop 37 campaign? 45 – all with ties to the biotech, pesticide and Big Food industries. Total number of major donors to the YES campaign? 18 – none with ties to biotech, pesticides or Big Food.
Goliath has indeed roared, but the food fight of our lives has just begun. Goliath has more money, but David, our champion on the battlefield, has truth and grassroots power backing him up. How much more will the Biotech Bullies and Big Ag spend to keep voters in the dark about chemical and energy intensive GMO food? Please stay tuned from now until Nov. 6. We’ll keep you informed and motivated to join OCA, OCF, and our allies in this historic battle that will determine the future of food and farming, not only in North America, but across the world.

What Does $25 Million Buy? Support for the OCA and the OCF!
Twenty-five million dollars. That’s how much opponents of California’s Prop 37, have raised so far. Monsanto alone has kicked in $4.2 million. It’s a sign of just how desperate these companies are to defeat mandatory GMO labeling laws – and how grotesquely profitable it is for them to keep you in the dark about what’s in your food.
What will they buy with that money? Big, fancy TV ads to try to scare voters into thinking that a little label on their food is a dangerous thing?
We don’t need to beat Big Biotech and Big Food in the race to raise money. But we do need to beat them in the court of public opinion and in the voting booths on Nov. 6. And we know how to do that.
We and our allies are mobilizing armies of volunteers to leaflet in front of grocery stores all over California, to explain to consumers why they should have the right to know what’s in their food. We’re also recruiting armies of volunteers to phone voters, to tell them why it’s important to vote YES on 37.
We don’t need $25 million dollars this week. But we do need to raise $100,000 as quickly as possible. We have printing costs for leaflets and yard signs and bumper stickers. We have staff costs to coordinate thousands of volunteers and to educate the public via articles, press releases, newsletters, social media, websites, etc.
With your help, we’re going to win this David versus Goliath battle. With the power of grassroots – not corporate – fundraising. If you haven’t pitched in yet for this campaign, we need your help today. If you donated already, please consider donating again. Thank you!
Donate to the Organic Consumers Association (tax-deductible, helps support our public education work against GMOs and chemical food, and our work on behalf of organic standards, fair trade and sustainable farming)
Donate to the Organic Consumers Fund (non-tax-deductible, but necessary for our legislative efforts in California and other states)
USDA Fast-Tracks GMO Crop Approval Process
Despite massive public opposition, last year theUSDA announced plans to streamline its genetically engineered petition process under the Animal Plant and Health Inspection Service (APHIS). Earlier this year, these controversial changes were implemented, speeding up the approval process for new genetically engineered seeds and crops. The new process will cut in half the time it takes for new GE seeds and crops to enter the market.
USDA claims that the new fast-track process allows for earlier input from the public to improve the quality of its environmental analyses. But according to a USDA press release, the new process is a part of efforts by the Secretary of Agriculture, Tom Vilsack, to “transform USDA into a high-performing organization that focuses on its customers.” The customers that USDA is so keen on assisting are none other than Monsanto, Dow, Dupont, BASF, Syngenta, and the rest of the Biotech bullies! Take Action: 12 New GMOs Up For Approval!
Earlier this summer, the USDA posted twelve new GE crops for public comment with a September 11 deadline, and nine are under the new fast-tracked process. That's twelve to review and issue comments on in two months! The worst of these new GMOs are Dow’s 2-4,D soybeans (2), Monsanto’s new dicamba tolerant soybean and a new GMO apple.
Tell USDA and Ag Secretary Tom Vilsack we don’t want these new GMOs!
Stop Dow's Agent Orange Soy!
Stop GMO Apples!
Stop Monsanto's Dicamba Tolerant Soybean!
