Memorial Day
Happy Memorial Day. Said that and heard it a lot today. It’s a strange thing to say. Because today isn’t really about being happy. Well it is, and it isn’t.
Our honored veteran dead, gone ahead in the vangard to protect us all from threats of any kind. Laying down their lives for us so that we may be what we are.
I’m so glad that we have men and women who serve. I hope as society that we can draw ever closer to a day and an age when we will not need them as much, or as often as we do.
May a day come soon where we can look at our children and tell them that there hasn’t been a war since the days of their great grandfathers.
Monsanto buys leading bee research firm after being implicated in bee colony collapse →
naturalnews.com
My friend posted this with the comment “R.I.P. Bees.” Pretty accurate.
Beeologics’ acquisition announcement explains that Monsanto plans to incorporate all the biological research that Beeologics has conducted over the years into its own programs for developing more GMO systems. Monsanto has also seized control of a key product that is currently in the Beeologics development pipeline that supposedly “help[s] protect bee health.”
“Monsanto will use the base technology from Beeologics as a part of its continuing discovery and development pipeline,” says the announcement. “Biological products will continue to play an increasingly important role in supporting the sustainability of many agricultural systems.”
To translate, it appears as though Monsanto plans to useeven more chemical inputsto supposedly solve the bee collapse problem, even though it is these very inputs that are largely thecauseof the bee collapse problem. Several recent studies, after all, have definitively linked crop pesticides and herbicides, as well as high fructose corn syrup, to CCD.
The future looks bleak for bees, in other words, as Monsanto appears poised to slowly gobble up all the competing companies and organizations that threaten its own GMO products, while pretending to care about the dwindling bee populations. And unless drastic action is taken to stop Monsanto in its continued quest to dominate global agriculture, the food supply as we know it will soon be a thing of the past.:( Our hardworking bees… but I like nature, non-genetically altered food and flowers…sigh…
this does not look good for bees…

Another track from the new album to entice you to download the whole thing. Pay what you will. We guarantee you’ll like this collection of foot-stomping, knee-slappin, sea-shantyin’ shitkickers we recorded in our friend’s basement in Brooklyn.
