    The Clinton's don't mind taking campaign contributions from foreigners, Brad, so why should it bother you? Besides, there are laws against that sort of thing. And just because a tax-exempt entity isn't obliged to make its donors list available to radical crackpots, that doesn't mean that investigative authorities can be denied access when they have probable cause.
  • Reply to: "Don't Ask, Don't Tell": Concerned Citizen Uncovers Whole Foods' Policy on Selling Food Grown in Sewage Sludge   10 years 7 months ago
    You don't think there is even a problem on the issues of sewer sludge biosolids used as crop fertilizer? Do you really have faith in the govt. to monitor the level of toxic substances in our food? This is the same govt that rules GMO genetically engineered organisms are safe to use on crops and livestock - despite ZERO scientific peer review journal articles proving GMO is safe. The USDA lacks funding to properly inspect meat proceessed in slaughterhouses - so on a routine basis ground hamburger meat has so much e-coli that routinely ammonia is added to hamburger meat and supermarket brand beef. There are plenty of toxic substances in America's food supply the FDA and USDA certifies as safe for humans to eat - Hexane is routinely used to process oil out of soybeans and seeds - hexane is banned in food products in over 50 nations internationally. Hexane is a neurotoxin and carcinogenic - this is a well established fact, yet our govt allows it to be used in food. There is current research in a preservative used in Top Ramen noodles - I think the initials are HQBT - because this preservatives blocks the Top Ramen noodles from being digested in the intestinal tract - a You Tube clip posted by a scientist who is currently researching the side affects of HQBT has a tiny camera inside a clear covering swallowed by research subject - this tiny camera goes thru the entire digestive tract and photographs a video of what happens when Top Ramen noodles are in the intestines - the research scientist simultaneously did studies with research subjects eating home made ramen noodles - the homemade ramen noodles were digested within a few hours - the Top Ramen supermarket brand noodles with BQHT perservative would not digest, nor break down in an manner after 8 hours in the digestive tract - but were excreted undigested - this is due to a LEGAL preservative our govt allows to be used in food. Approximately 8 years ago the FDA and Congress/Senate passed a law which requires 100% of almonds to be processed in Propylene Oxide. PPO is banned in dozens of countries because it is an endrocrine disruptor, neurotoxin and causes cancer. All raw almonds in the USA must either be heat treated with pasturization (for organic raw almonds) and 100% of all conventionally grown, non organic almonds in America MUST be treated with Proplyene Oxide PPO. The ONLY way for consumers to get non-Propylene Oxide treated almonds is to buy them direct at a Farmers Market from an organic grower. Despite the fact that America's almond supply is drenched in PPO neurotixin biocide - IT IS NOT LABELLED with any consumer info. Safeway, Trader Joe's and many other supermarkets label their almonds are "raw" but they are not raw - they are heat treated and also drenched in Propylene Oxide - after checking dozens of supermarkets - I only saw one brand of almonds which was labelled witht the acronym "PPO" as an ingredient. The average American has NO IDEA what PPO is. I suppose you think toxic nuclear waste goes through a "sophisticaed and arduous process" before the govt allows it to be buried in HAZMAT toxic waste dumps? Nuclear fall-out from Fukushima nuclear power plant has drifted through the air and ocean from Japan to America through wind and wave current - yet our govt insists "there is no problem". Remember how our govt kept denying for many years there was any hazard for New Yorkers and folks in New Jersey who were breathing toxic air after September 11th? A good friend of mine worked in the World Trade Center as an EPA scientist - she was actually 15 minutes late for work on the morning of September 11th - so fortunately she was not in her office when the planes hit the towers. My friend was down in the subway when the planes hit the towers and as soon as she got off the train and was walking up the stairs to street level, she was enveloped in a thick toxic cloud of biocodes and toxic crappy air which was airborne debris from World Trade Center after the planes hit the buliding. She has clinically diagnosed lung disease and will die within two years. She breathed in toxic biocides on Septey mber 11th, 2001 - now it is January, 2014 and she has NEVER received any help from the USA governement despite the fact she was a federal worker employed by the Environmental Protection Agency as a Senior Staff Scientist! The federal government denied her application for Social Security disability benefits - she had to cash in her retirement plan for money to live on - now she lives with relatives in Florida - because the govt dumped her and refused to help her with any benefits from September 11th......and THIS is the same government you alleged "sophisticated and arduous process" to protect Americans from biocides and toxic carcinogens? landfill? If you trust our govt to secure safe food - then you are extremely naieve and ingenuous! Bottom Line - The problem I have with Whole Foods (and Trader Joe's) is their lack of accountability and refusal to give full disclosure to their customers. This is why I never shop at Whole Foods - supermarkets or Trader Joe's. I buy 75% of my groceries at local Farmers Markets and I know my grower. I also educated myself about farming/agricultural practices so I can ask informed questions to ranchers and growers how they raise their crops and livestock.
  • Reply to: What Will Scott Walker Lift from the ALEC Agenda in 2013?   10 years 7 months ago
    ALEC owns Scott Walker he says proudly in his biography. Walker will never be intimidated by the people. He knows ALEC has always PAID his way since 1992. Scott Walker remembers creating jobs as assemblyman in Wisconsin . It was easy with ALEC. 32000 UNION public sector jobs. It is not as easy this time with out using your tax dollars. Scott Walker has created ALL Wisconsin`s budget problems working for ALEC. When Scott Walker was a state representative and the chairman of the Assembly Corrections Committee, he introduced bills that would privatize state prison operations and that would allow private corrections companies to open prisons in Wisconsin to house inmates from other states. This allowed outsourcing our Prisoners in several states. In 1995 Walker and Prosser as state assemblymen championed for ALEC with truth in sentencing telling the legislatures it would not cost a dime it was to give judges not parole boards the control over sentencing. Then Walker filibustered to stop sentencing changes after the fact misleading ALL the legislatures. With out the sentencing changes Wisconsin`s prisons quadrupled over night. Most people sentenced to 2 years now had to serve as much as 6o years. As the Wisconsin Budget watch Blog shows . Stopping just a percentage of these long sentences Wisconsin would save 707 million per year. Wisconsin could have free tuition colleges. It shows Wisconsin has wasted 100 billion if you add the numbers to the state budget since 1995. Not including the building new or remodeling of 71 courthouses & 71 county jails & 441 police stations and dozens of prisons 28 billion plus interest. It is 2.5 billion annually out of the state budget just to maintain these Palaces called jails and courthouses. No expense spared. The total is over 28 BILLION plus the 60 Billion spent by social services to support prisoners families because the bread winner was a political prisoner as US Att gen Eric Holder explained. Then farming out prisoners in several states until the courts realized it was not allowed in the Wisconsin constitution. Wisconsin then hired 32000 union public sector workers to fill the jobs housing the prisoners from deputies , judges, district attorneys all owe Walker for creating there jobs. 32000 UNION PUBLIC SECTOR JOBS. This cost taxpayers over 3.8 billion or a half million per day to house these EXTRA prisoners per day in Milwaukee county alone. Wisconsin claims it has 24,000 prisoners compared to Minnesota`s 5500. Wisconsin`s corrections population is 104,000 with many in half way house and county jails and county prisons that are not counted. . In 1995 Milwakee county had less than 200 prisoners now it has thousands. When Prosecutors Mishandle Cases, Everyone Pays…Except For Them Is Scott Walker moving Wisconsin forward ? This your reason for budget problems in Wisconsin. Big spender big government Scott Walker. Why does he not work for the people he is taking his check from the people ? Walker has ALEC on his Biography and is proud of this scam. ALEC has no place in any democracy. Ronald Reagan said where collective bargaing and UNIONS are not allowed Democracy and freedom is lost. Unions created the great American miracle so everyone could prosper. Reagan calls Walker a communist . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsHXJr8tqP0In In walker`s America we have slave labor like in Fred Koch`s RUSSIA. Could or would an Amercan consider any type of voter suppression ? Could or would an American end liberty and justice for all for personal gain ? Could or would an American not take care of it`s own people ? Walkers is KKK/KGB/NRA/Flea bagger/GOP/ALEC and Nazi who are all the same group now supported by david koch`s tea Party . This ends all rumor that Scott walker even considers the constitution or liberty and justice for all. these Are Koch`s / ALEC ideals from fred Koch in Russia where he made his first millions. http://wjacact.blogspot.com/ This would end or slow down many of the states criminal regimes called justice systems in Wisconsin . ALEC and Scott Walker have ruined generations of our youth for personal and agency gain. This has allowed ALEC corporations and Scott Walker to scam BILLIONS off the Wisconsin taxpayer. BIG SPENDER , BIG GOVERNMENT & HUGE CORPOARTION is ALL SCOTT WALKER knows. He hurts all the rest. Scott Walker will Pray in church or sunday and pray on the people all week long. Scott Walker Not educating children is child abuse. Websters Dictionary says to change what is norm for persnal, political, or religous reasons is an act of perversion. This is walkers agenda to pervert America to koch`s russian Communism. PRISON SLAVE LABOR just like Fred Koch used in Russia. walker is allowing Koch to win the COLD WAR for his Russia. This is Paul Ryan when he was still supporting America. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pz9XPZa2MKw
  • Reply to: Group Focused on Goverment Ethics Puts Scott Walker on List of “Worst Governors in America”   10 years 7 months ago
    Take a look at the PDF again. There's nothing to suggest the governors are ordered anything other than alphabetically within each group. Note that each group is ordered alphabetically and the document doesn't make any reference to numerical ordering. Walker wasn't "beat out" by 5 other governors...he's just as bad as those 5 other governors.
  • Reply to: Outsourced Cities, Brought to You by CH2M Hill   10 years 7 months ago
    Interesting how they talk about being ethical, but they sure don't walk the walk. They lynched one of their own (and his family) - Tom Huntsinger - when he told them to stop their unethical conduct. They went so far as to force him out AND told his next employer that they would not team with that firm. Rather than come clean and make amends, CH2M hid under Colorado's high threshold for what is considered "outrageous conduct." CH2M and hypocritical. One in the same term.
