http://www.prisonplanet.com/gmo-labeling-initiative-522-seems-to-have-failed-proving-once-again-that-corporate-money-can-buy-food-secrecy.html
As of this article Washington state I-522 looks to have failed at the ballot box and there is link showing the results county by county. As of 11pm last night the "no" votes were 55%-44% and mail in votes have not been counted as of yet unless something dramatic happens I-522 will go down as another example of food corporations buying votes through a campaign of lies and deception.
The Grocery Manufacturers of America and the biggest food corporations proved in this campaign their willingness to engage in a criminal conspiracy to cheat, lie and purposely misinform voters. At stake is the continued way of doing business: Secrecy coupled with consumer ignorance.
If this election would have been honest I am pretty sure this I-522 would have passed because lord knows these companies don't want consumers knowing what is really in their food and hence the millions upon millions of dollars spent into their propaganda campaign hoping to con voters into not understanding what they were voting for. In an honest election without corporate money I-522 would have seen the light of day but much like Prop 37 in California, corporate money yet again allowed these companies to steal the election and basically bought their victory that keeps consumers in the dark
The Yes on 522 ran a very good campaign according to Mike Adams who wrote this article and says that if voters had not been lied to by the corporate funded opposition this ballot measure just may have well would have been passed. No one in their right mind would want less transparency on what is really in the foods we buy and consume on a daily basis. Any person with a damn brain, if allowed due consideration on this subject, would naturally say that the right to know what is in our food is a basic fundamental human right!!!
This also shows that democracy is a failure when corporate money is allowed to influence election outcomes and isn't all true for all the elections these days??? so even though we can say that we the people are in "charge" of legislation in reality corporations have seized not only the United States but Canada and Europe that even when informed masses want to codify human rights, it cannot be achieved.
GMO labeling will never be won with money given the back to back failures of I-522 and Prop 37, I think we need to realize we cannot win this with money. As much money that has been raised to support GMO labeling, the junk food manufacturers of America were able to spend twenty times more money to help defeat GMO labeling
Selling the public beverages and junk foods made with pure garabage ingredients is of course highly profitable and so of course these companies are going to through as much money as they can like monkeys in a bar fight
If we ever see GMO labeling whether in the US or Canada, victory might have to happen at the grassroots level and methods that go way out of the box than spending money on ads..
However as Adams points out the 522 people did all they could but the way the campaigned was way to conventional but not "guerilla campaigning"
For example when the American colonists in the War of Independence who knew they would be slaughtered like pigs if they did battle with the occupying British by adhering to rigid formations. Man for man (dollar for dollar) beating the establishment at their own game is hard to beat. What we need to do is invoke these tactics like when the colonists hid in the bushes and ambushed high ranking British officers thereby destroying the leadership and causing chaos within the enemy ranks.
Now Mr. Adams is not suggesting we go out and kill CEOs of the junk food company when using this metaphor, it is merely to illustrate the fact that going head to head (dollar for dollar) with giants like Pepsico, Coca-Cola and Monsanto is never going to result in getting GMOs labeled
There are far better ways to increase your efforts and make the actions of one person be more of an impact that the millions of dollars spent by the opposition.
We need to realize GMO labeling opposition will never play by the rules at all. They engage in ruthless tactics of tricks and even resorting to criminal activity in order to achieve their goals. Now we should not stoop to their level of course and break laws, but we need to be more aggressive in accusing the opposition of mass deception, poisoning and potential for an environmental disaster. See those campaigns for GMO labeling are far to polite according to Adams, they are too nice and play by nice rules Those are great allies to have but they are not the no bullshit, no holds bar folks that are needed to defeat these junk food corporations.
The GMO labeling opposition is really a mafia of criminal scum who continue their dark disturbing victories by breaking the rules and playing dirty. To beat them you have to start voting with your dollars when you go to the grocery store and hit them where it hurts: Profits

With the 50th anniversary of the assassination of JFK approaching later this month, 3 time Academy Award winning director Oliver Stone says the Zapruder film was altered. He appeared on Democracy Now, Stone said that the infamous Zapruder film which shows Kennedy being shot in the head from the front, was doctored and confiscated by the CIA and Secret Service.
"It was altered a but I think-there's a lot of evidence to that effect"-said Stone who directed the 1991 blockbuster JFK and even in another interview he did with the Huffington Post Live, Stone repeated the same claim that the tape was doctored. The Zapruder film was not aired on network TV until 1975, a mere 13 years after the assassination.
Though there have been many eyewitnesses to the JFK assassination itself, many of them died under mysterious circumstances. Between the winters of 1963 and 1967, 15 JFK witnesses who were interviewed by the Warren Commission, Dallas Police, or the FBI died prematurely and in bizarre ways. When in actuary the odds of that occurring naturally are one hundred thousand trillion to one.
Expressing his utter amazement that some people still deny there was a wider conspiracy behind the assassination of JFK, Stone explained how it was impossible for Kennedy to have been shot from only one direction
"You see him essentially get a hit from the front, when he gets the hit from the front which is the 4th or 5th or 6th shot, he goes back and to the left, that's the basic evidence-Said Stone, adding that many eyewitnesses at the hospital saw "a massive exit wound to the rear of the skull" but the autopsy was manipulated because the doctors in charge had been ordered to patch up the back of Kennedy's head by the military to conceal evidence
Stone also touched on the "magic bullet" theory, presented by the Warren Commission, which attempted to explain how a single bullet could have caused 7 different wounds in two people
"It's a farce and they got away with it because it's a lot of mumbo jumbo-said Stone, asserting that at least 5 shots were made. According to official story, Lee Harvey Oswald took only 3 shots from the Texas Book Depository. In addition, expert marksmen have tried to replicate Oswald's shot, at a moving target through a tree and failed
"Two teams of FBI experts tried to do it, plus CBS I believe and various other organizations, have tried to simulate that shooting in less than six seconds-it's not possible" said Stone adding there had to be at least one shooter from the front
I have done extensive research into JFK's murder and it is clear to me that Oswald didn't do this and that there was a wider conspiracy to kill him and the fact that there were 2 other attempts on Kennedy's life that he knew about prior to November 22nd 1963. In his new book They Killed Our President: 63 reasons to believe there was a conspiracy to assassinate JFK, Jesse Ventura along with Dick Russell and David Wayne show us that and I will provide an excerpt from page XII to XIII:
"The U.S House of Representatives investigated the assassination and concluded that JFK "was probably assassinated as the result of a conspiracy"
Robert Kennedy and the First Lady Jackie Kennedy sent word to Moscow via special envoy right after the assassination that JFK was killed by "a large political conspiracy" and that he was the "victim of a right wing conspiracy... by domestic opponents
"The Head of the U.S. Secret Service confirmed that evening of the assassination he briefed Robert Kennedy that his brother had been killed by three to four shooters and that the Secret Service believed JFK was "the victim of a powerful organization
Senior members of the United States Senate who investigated the case concluded that the CIA and FBI played troubling roles in the JFK assassination, cover-up, that 'fingerprints of intelligence" were all over Lee Harvey Oswald, and that "the accused assassin was the product of a fake defector program run by the CIA
Senator Richard Schweiker concluded that "the CIA was involved in the murder of the president"
And he also shows how they dismiss critics of the Warren Commission Report as "conspiracy theorists" even though scholarly work shows the Warren Commission was full of holes and I highly recommend you pick this awesome well researched book which you can get off Amazon or at infowarsshop.com
Also read any of the works by Colonel L. Fletcher Prouty which are The Secret Team and JFK: The CIA, Vietnam and the Plot to Assassinate Kennedy and James W Douglass' book JFK and the Unspeakable as well
