Cargill and Others Behind anti-Organic “Stanford Study”
Anti-organic “study” is not news, rather, coordinated propaganda campaign.
by Tony Cartalucci
September 5, 2012 – Harry Wallop of the London Telegraph ends his anti-organic food editorial with the following sentence:
“Tomorrow, the baby is going to get an extra dollop of pesticide-sprayed carrots.”
Whether or not Wallop is as brain-addled as he leads on to being, the point of his editorial is to encourage similar attitudes amongst the Telegraph’s readership, attempting to manipulate public perception in the wake of a recent Stanford University “study” regarding organic food.
Image: Conflict of interest? Strange that Stanford University is partnered with agricultural giant Cargill and just so happens to come out with a study that suggests organic food is no better than its big-agri competition. According to Stanford University, Cargill has donated at least 5 million dollars for the creation of a Center on Food Security and the Environment (FSE). Cargill’s website has a page describing its partnership with Stanford which can be found here. Cargill and many others also are listed as donors by Standford University in their 2011 Annual Report (page 38, .pdf).
Whether or not readers of the Telegraph will put their own health and that of their children at risk for the sake of protecting big-agri’s bottom line and the faltering paradigm that big-agri products are safe for human consumption simply because Harry Wallop thinks its good to feed his baby with pesticide-sprayed carrots remains to be seen.
The London Telegraph, when not fabricating news to support England’s latest imperial adventures overseas, is at the forefront of many of the largest corporate-financier funded lobbying campaigns. Recently, someone has splurged, and splurged big on anti-organic food lobbying built atop a suspect Stanford study.
A Flawed “Study”
When entire news cycles are dominated by headlines built on a single university study, with editorials attempting to hammer in big-agri talking points, a lobbying effort is clearly afoot.
Two news cycles have already been dedicated to trashing organic food. Organic food is free of pesticides and genetic manipulation, both of which are proven to cause learning disabilities, decreased IQ, sterility, and a myriad of other health problems including a wide variety of cancers.
This most recent anti-organic food campaign began with a Stanford study (and here) out of its Center for Health Policy (a subsidiary of Stanford’s Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies), examining the nutritional value of organic food versus non-organic. Food with pesticides on it had nearly the same nutritional value, the study claims, as organic food – completely skipping over the whole point of eating organic.
Indeed, the nutritional value would be similar – but the entire point of eating organic is not because of vastly superior nutritional value, but to avoid the “extras” included with products from big-agri corporations.
The Stanford study intentionally dismisses concerns regarding the presence of pesticides by simply claiming levels were within legal tolerances. No discussion was made on whether legal tolerances equated to safe tolerances, nor was there any mention made of the harmful effects of genetically modified organisms (GMO) or other controversial food additives found in non-organic food products.
So why the strawman argument?
A Corporate-funded “Study”
The Stanford Center for Health Policy states the following on its own website:
“The Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies (FSI) relies on support from its friends, as well as from national and international foundations and corporations, for the funding of the Institute’s research, teaching and outreach activities.”
The Center for Health Policy is a subsidiary of the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies (FSI). So who are these “friends,” national and international foundations and corporations funding the research of FSI and its subsidiary, the Stanford Center for Health Policy?
Image: From Stanford Center for Health Policy’s own website it is admitted that ” national and international foundations and corporations” fund its research and “outreach activities.” This confirms the suspicions of an increasingly aware public who saw the “study” as biased, contradictory of both logic and ethics, and the result of insidious corporate-funding.
According to FSI’s 2011 Annual Report (page 38, .pdf) Agricultural giant Cargill, British Petroleum (BP), the Bill & Malinda Gates Foundation (heavily invested in both Cargill and big-agri giant Monsanto), the Ford Foundation, Google, Goldman Sachs, the Smith Richardson Foundation, and many other corporate-financier, Fortune 500 special interests.
Image: From Stanford’s 2011 FSI Annual Report (page 38, .pdf), of which the Center for Health Policy is a subsidiary, is funded by Cargill, the Bill & Malinda Gates Foundation (heavily invested in both Cargill and big-agri giant Monsanto), and a myriad of other Fortune 500 corporate-financier special interests. The report at face value is throwaway propaganda, but its funding reveals a more insidious, coordinated effort to manipulate public perception, stretching across academia, mass media, government, and big business. (click image to enlarge)
That none of this is mentioned, and the lack of independence and transparency involved in the study and its presentation to the public, overturns the credibility of both Stanford, and the Western media machine that so eagerly shoveled the results out to the public. Combined with the fact that the study itself is flawed, and the concerted, disingenuous nature with which it is being promoted to the public, a premeditated public relations campaign, bought and paid for by Stanford’s FSI sponsors, most notably Cargill and the Bill & Malinda Gates Foundation is self-evident.
What to Do?
Quite obviously, one should continue eating organic. Additionally, the duplicitous nature exhibited by academia, the mass media, and the vast corporate interests overtly driving them both, demands from us to redouble our efforts at implementing full-spectrum boycotts aimed at big-agri as well as other Fortune 500 corporate-financier monopolies. This includes other processed food makers such as Pepsi and Coca-Cola, Kraft, and the myriad of subsidiaries they maintain.
We should also redouble our efforts at supporting local farmers, attending and contributing to local farmers markets, and investigating the possibility of growing, if only a small percentage, our own herbs, fruits, and vegetables.
Freedom and self-determination come from economic independence, self-reliance, and self-sufficiency. The most fundamental form of economic independence is having a safe, secure, and local food supply operated for, by, and of the people. Cementing this emerging paradigm, in spite of the crass, juvenile, even criminally irresponsible editorials like that of the Telegraph’s Harry Wallop, and multimillion dollar “studies” subsidized by Cargill and the Bill & Malinda Gates Foundation, is the first step on extending this paradigm shift to other areas required for maintaining and advancing modern civilization.
Is There Really a Difference Between Organic and Conventional Food? [video]
Natural Society
September 4, 2012
Is there really a difference between organic and conventional food? A new ‘study’ has hit the mainstream media declaring that there is not, however it is fatally flawed.
In this video, I explain how the study failed to accurately address key aspects of what makes organic food truly healthy, and how the very few aspects that they did analyze actually lean towards organic food being the clear choice.
For solid links to publications and sourcing, please checkout my full article: http://naturalsociety.com/ridiculous-study-claims-organic-same-as-conventional/
The study authors failed to identify the fact that organic food items do not contain things such as: GMOs (genetically modified organisms), artificial sweeteners, higher concentrations of bisphenol-a (BPA), cloned material (rBGH), and much more. They also fail to mention in the titles of the mainstream reports that the study actually revealed that organic food contained less pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, and antibiotics.
The researchers also failed to mention that the herbicides and pesticides used in conventional food items are oftentimes much more dangerous, with Roundup in particular (the #1 herbicide in the US created by Monsanto) being linked to conditions such as infertility, DNA damage, and cancer.
There certainly is a distinct difference between organic food and conventional, and it takes a bit of digging to realize that this study ‘proving’ that there isn’t really does not examine many essential factors when reaching such an inaccurate conclusion.

Radio 3Fourteen – Dr. Curtis Duncan – The Conspiracy to Feminize Males & Masculinize Females [audio]
Radio 3Fourteen
July 25, 2012
Dr. Curtis Duncan is a holistic health expert, herbalist and avid researcher. He will discuss the feminization of males and the chemicals that are behind the reason why testosterone levels have been declining, impotence, dropped sperm counts, smaller penises, genital birth defects, autism, ADHD, cancer, low libido and more. These chemicals also have gender bending effects and cause men to act and behave like women and women to act and behave like men, even altering sexual preference. We’ll also discuss the estrogen mimicking chemicals that are behind female infertility, miscarriages, cancer and more. Curtis talks about the endocrine system, endocrine disrupting chemicals, the companies and people behind gender bending chemicals, chemical effects on sexuality and the conspiracy behind it all.

Scary Revelations About Morgellons Disease [videos included]

Before It’s News

Revelations From A Man Who Helped Design Morgellons Disease
There are two videos at Carnicom.com about Morgellons Disease. These are Important videos and must be watched.
The first video:
http://www.carnicom.com/morgvid1.htm
The 2nd video:
These 2 videos are well done and well researched by Clifford Carnicom and Dr. Gwen Scott. The information in these videos affects every individual in this country. They are perhaps the two of the most important videos ever to be made. If you have not viewed these videos you need to do it ASAP. These videos are not casual entertainment they are about all of us. Not just a few people with a weird disease called Morgellons, but about all of us. This information personally affects every person you love and care about. It is about your grandchildren, your family pet, your loved ones and even people down the street that you don’t care about. We are all being subjected to this. It is in the very air we are breathing, and the food we are eating. That is certain. There are more vectors beyond even that. To put it in simple terms:Continued below.
We May All Have Morgellons Disease and It Is Man Made!
Many people viewing these videos may have overlooked one of the most import pieces of information that was included in each. Someone has confessed to participation in at least one aspect of the formulation of this disease. It is not to be overlooked or tossed aside. I do believe that Dr. Gwen Scott has been contacted by a credible source who has admitted his part in creating Morgellons Disease. There is still so much conjecture as to the origins of Morgellons that perhaps Gwen’s statements will impact someone who is still pretending that this disease in not a deliberate assault on all humankind. It is important to make sure everyone will hear or read this message. For this reason I have transcribed the relevant points she made about the origin of Morgellons disease from her videos with Clifford Carnicom. Perhaps seeing it all in print will give it more credibility. Since it is the spoken word and not text originally I wrote it verbatim as she spoke it without any changes.
I give great credit to Dr. Gwen Scott for putting forth this vital information and for her selfless work for she has done for the Morgellons community. She is herself a sufferer of the extreme symptoms of the disease. Likewise, I am proud to know Clifford Carnicom and count him among the true heroes of our time for his selfless dedication to this research and getting the truth out there in spite of the personal dangers that can come with being an honest man in these dark times. Clifford has revealed the biggest “dirty little secret” known to man.
________________________________________________________
Here is the written transcript from a small portion of the spoken dialogue by Dr. Gwen Scott from the above “Introductory Remarks” video regarding who responsible for origins of Morgellons disease.
http://www.carnicom.com/morgvid1.htm
“Introductory Remarks”
Dr. Gwen Scott States:
“I began to see there are a lot of components. It is a very compound complex network of pathogens. Organic, inorganic and all kinds of things.
We have fibers, heavy metals, bacteria, funguses, viruses that seem to be working somehow synergistically. None of them good to the Human.”
“I was able to touch base with one of the people who actively was involved in the design of some of this and I think at the time he thought he was doing this country some good – and in retrospect now realizes, perhaps not. Now he’s trying very hard to help anybody who’s conscious of what’s going on. He did tell me that most of these pathogens have been genetically altered so that your immune system doesn’t know that they’re there. They’re cloaked, they’re different, they can overcome. I won’t go into the specifics but just let’s say these are not your average bacteria, virus, fungus – and of course heavy metals are not average in the human body anyway – and these fibers, these unusual fibers are wires that we’re seeing. People have said, “Well, where’s it coming from?” Clearly, there have been enough samples to know and Mr. Carnicom, Clifford, just made that connection for us through the air. Some of them are coming to us through the air, with deliberation through the air supply. I have been told by this same gentleman it is also being delivered to us by our food supply. Particularly commercial preprocessed food”
Gwen also went on to say she believes that another vector of transmission is through vaccines.
Here is the written transcript from a small portion of the dialogue by Dr. Gwen Scott from the above “2nd Video” regarding her contact with one of the designers of Morgellons Disease.
http://www.carnicom.com/morgvid2.htm
“Morgellons 2nd Session”
Dr. Gwen Scott states:
“Since our last discussion I did have a gentleman who was involved in some of this (Morgellons design) call me. When he was involved he felt he was doing something to help the soldiers in the field in this country. He was told these things would be sprayed, aerosol sprayed, from planes on the enemy and they would save soldier’s lives – and then it occurred to him when he became aware and began to see Clifford’s work and other work that, oops,
maybe that’s not the case. So now he’s trying really hard to help out anybody that he can find that’s trying to do the work. -and he explained something to me that I knew that I had kind of forgotten. Every organ in your body has a specific frequency and it operates at that frequency. -and when you interrupt that frequency electromagnetically, you can create all kinds of serious (even unto death) problems.
He also talked about areas of the brain and mind control. -and as Orwellian as that may seem, apparently, scientifically it is very real. We know from Clifford’s work, for years now, the electromagnetic properties of what’s happening in our air supply as a result of the manipulation and the manipulation of that. Beyond that he talked about then confirmed to me the heavy metals, the barium, the titanium, the aluminum. None of which, trust me, are good for the human. He talked about the biological. He said all of it had been altered. Some of it (and Clifford had eluded to earlier in the video) can kind of escape your immune system, cloak itself in one form or another. Again (he spoke of) the electromagnetics and also the lack of oxygen, the displacement of oxygen. The more you displace oxygen out of the air supply with particulates, (it could be Cornflakes, it doesn’t matter) the mortality rates go up concurrently. We are operating on a very low level of oxygen.”
