Election Bang: Maui Bans GMO Crops

“. . . Maui proved, in its own backyard, that banning poison is more powerful than labeling it.” – J Rappoport

NoGMONote: To those few of you who are spending big bucks to fund GMO-labeling ballot measures, I’m taking you to school in this article. Read the whole thing, especially the last part. If you want more lessons, get in touch.

Okay. Here we go.

They got into Monsanto’s face. They accused Monsanto/Dow of spreading poison.

They didn’t say, “You have a right to know what’s in your food and we’re all nice people, and reasonable people have a right to disagree.”

They hit it hard.

The Maui SHAKA Movement and voteyesmaui.org and other activists won by a very narrow margin—and instituted a temporary ban on new Monsanto/Dow GMO crops in Maui County.

Their corporate opposition spent $300 for every vote they got. And lost.

A tip of the hat and a bow to Maui County activists.

You know what you’re doing. You’re local. You experience, first-hand, the Monsanto Roundup poison. You see something, you do something.

The ban/moratorium can only be overturned after an environmental impact statement is submitted to the Maui County Council, and after a 2/3 vote to overturn. Continue reading

Daisy Luther ~ The Good, The Bad, And The Deadly: EWG Releases 2014 Dirty Dozen And Clean Fifteen Lists

ReadyNutrition  April 30 2014

avocadoThe Environmental Working Group has released its 2014 list of The Dirty Dozen Plus and The Clean Fifteen.

It’s important to note that the suggestions given by EWG are based strictly on the levels of contamination from pesticide.  The Clean 15 list does contain items that are potentially genetically modified, so you must be aware of this fact when shopping, as we recommend strict avoidance of all GMOs.  For example, field corn and nearly all papayas from Hawaii are genetically modified.  Some varieties of sweet corn, tomatoes,  mangoes, and zucchini are also genetically modified.  This list has absolutely nothing to do with GMOs and everything to do with toxic pesticides. Just because a food is on the list, please understand we are not wholeheartedly endorsing that you go buy the conventional version.  Do your research.  Remember, if you purchase organic you are not only avoiding pesticides, but also GMOs.  You can also look for items verified by the Non-GMO Project.

By purchasing your produce locally as much as possible, you can learn more about the source of your fruits and vegetables, and whether or not they were from GMO seeds.  you can find a very comprehensive directory of local farms, co-ops and CSAs across the country HERE.

Anyway, back to pesticides… Continue reading

Police Log License Plate Numbers of Occupy Maui Protestors As Agent Provocateurs Go To Work

from NotForSale2NWO | November 9 2011

OWS Hawaii: A close look at the internal workings of an OWS protest. Agent Provocateur starts around 5:05.. MANY of the protesters had legitimate reasons to be there and were generally on the right track but there were clearly some operatives within the protest calling us a right wing blog when in reality we have exposed KOCH brothers and the controlled right wing for YEARS.

Multiple occupy maui supporters have confirmed that this guy was singling us out because we were RON PAUL SUPPORTERS. Certain occupy protesters are now actually supporting him singling us out and hassling us for no reason.
