If you want to know what’s going on in the world, there are
places that will tell you the truth, not paint you a picture, maintain the
status quo or be part of any international/inter-business synergy.
This is one of those places.
Stories, truths and angles that you need to know and have probably been sheltered from by the powers that be or your own search bubble.
Every Monday evening.
Millions of slaves living in the West

There are 21 million modern slaves in the world today, most of them
women and girls hiding in plain sight in poor and rich countries alike –
7% of today’s slaves
live in North America or the European Union. From trafficking and
sexual exploitation to work in private homes, agriculture, fishing,
construction and manufacturing, modern slavery is not only a crime, it
is big business. It generates some $150bn in illegal profits every year, according to an estimate by the International Labour Organization (ILO).
Poverty is at the root of it, as is lack of awareness by both victims
and the general public. Forced labor affects the most vulnerable and
least protected people, perpetuating a vicious cycle of poverty and
dependency. Women, low-skilled migrant workers, children, indigenous
peoples and other groups suffering discrimination on different grounds
are disproportionately affected. And many victims don’t even consider
themselves to be slaves – working to pay off a debt passed down through
generations, or being a servant in a private home from dusk to dawn is
the only life some have ever known. At the same time, you may be eating
food picked by modern slaves, or wearing clothes made with slave labor
without realizing it.
The ILO has a new protocol
on forced labor that gives countries a powerful tool to tackle slavery.
The first international treaty on slavery in more than 80 years, it was
adopted by ILO members in 2014 and takes into account new forms of
slavery, including trafficking for sexual or labor exploitation and debt
bondage. It also requires countries not only to criminalize slavery and
punish perpetrators but to prevent it, and to offer protection and
remedy to victims.
The protocol requires two national ratifications before it enters into force. The ILO is launching a campaign to persuade at least 50 countries to ratify it by 2018. Because to live in a world with millions of slaves demeans us all.
RoundUp confirmed as "cancer causing", Monsanto deny independent findings
See previous post on Monsanto. http://theultrabomb.blogspot.ie/2015/04/monsanto-roundup-and-autism-1-in-2.html
The last year has seen more happen in conscious defiance of genetically modified food and its associated chemicals than perhaps the last 20 combined. After a slow start, humanity is awakened, activated, and taking no prisoners. There are now blueprints in place from individuals, communities, states, and entire countries to replicate on the way to casting genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and their chemicals into the history books.
Meanwhile, Monsanto’s public relations and marketing appear to be operating within a vacuum by attempting to ignore a growing global population. As entire countries ban their products and inferior technology, Monsanto is quickly losing control of their financial bottom line as they watch their consumer base evaporate. Short videos and marketing spots are still lauding the virtues of their failed Roundup product. With Monsanto’s YouTube video titled “Glyphosate: Give it a Minute,” the public is getting a front row seat to the company’s “emperor has no clothes” moment.
With each day that goes by, Monsanto’s flagship product Roundup is getting closer to worldwide rejection. Glyphosate appears to have taken its place as the unofficial sponsor of cancer since being labeled a 2A carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer. The fact this chemical remains on the market and is still used on the food supply is a damning admission of the corruption and shortcomings of leadership at all levels of politics and regulatory agencies.
After being named a 2A Carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, the worldwide recoil is now in full swing. The California Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) has announced that it too will label glyphosate a carcinogen. Russian Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich recently announced that Russia had “made the decision not to use any GMO in food productions.” U.S. imports of non-GMO food soared to $85.4 million in 2015.
Steven Seagal claims government is behind mass shootings
In an interview with RT news, Seagal said that:
“We believe that many of the people
in America are not going along with the hocus pocus of certain
governmental bodies who want to try and perpetuate the Cold War, we
believe that the Cold War is a fantasy and a hoax to perpetuate maybe
some sort of financial gain….”
“You have to understand, whether
or not it is intelligent, or ethical, or moral, one of the great
techniques of even Adolf Hitler … [is to] tell a lie enough times and it
becomes the truth. One of the things that, you know, certain people’s
regime has become very adept at is controlling the press, and
controlling the media … For example, CNN, do I think CNN is completely
telling it like it is? No, I think they have an agenda, I think their
agenda is bought and paid for…. This isn’t about telling the truth,
who’s right or who’s wrong, it’s about a smear campaign and who can
manipulate the press.”
“I am not prepared to make a
comment on what’s happening in Syria because in America I don’t believe
we are being told the whole truth.”
“I believe that, I hate to say this, a
lot of these mass murders and all this funny stuff that’s going on, I
believe a lot of this is engineered.”
And finally...
Idiot of the week!!
A picture says a thousand words. I'd imagine a lot of those will be expletives and/or terms of pity. Yikes.
Never accept the world with which you are presented.
