Discussion of 9/11 and Obama

From another blog, I just found an interesting discussion of why Obama is unlikely to investigate 9/11.
I certainly wish he would, but maybe he will let others unravel it, although I doubt that because the left-wing media is completely controlled by corporate interests, or COINTELPRO.

My Take on Obama's Election

I lived in Obama's Honolulu neighborhood starting when he was four years old until he was about seven, because I was living on campus at the University of Hawaii's East-West Center. I fell in love with Hawaii while I was there, and got a taste of its special culture. During the presidential campaign, I kept thinking how the media was missing the aloha spirit that shaped Obama from birth, and continues to shape him to this day.

Considering the mess that he has inherited, I have been telling my friends for months now, that I hope he can pull a "Gorbie", my term for Obama going against the grain of the way things are done in America. I hope he is a blend of Gorbachev and Mandela.

I have read extensively on this subject, and I feel especially sorry for the American public, because when GMO's were introduced into their food chain, there was no thought to giving Americans a chance to say 'no'. It was simply a question of scientists itching to begin experimentation on a whole new realm of study, and they were more than willing to have agricorporations give them huge research grants, and also bribe politicians with campaign funds to allow for lax oversight. If you want the historical details, please read: Edging Towards BioUtopia: A New Politics of Reordering Life & the Democratic Challenge, by Richard Hindmarsh (2008).

Regarding the naturalness of inserting genes into a plant, the corporations use a gene gun that blasts a "gene cassette" into the plant. The gene cassette usually consists of four genes, a promoter gene, the transgene, which actually contains the targetted effect, an anti-biotic marker gene, and a gene to stop the process. What the targetted plant does with these new genes is relatively unknown. If the transgene works as promised, then the company typically does a three-week test on lab rats, to see if they don't die, and if they survive, the new plant in put on the market. The FDA's protocol is simply to trust the company's internal study on the new plant. In terms of the company's bottom-line profits, considering that these plants have a patented expiry date, the quicker they can be sold, the more the company can make from their patent. Thus they are using the public as guinea pigs.
