Obama wants to outlaw guns in 2nd term
NRA official Says

A top official with the National Rifle
Association said Friday that President Obama
will move to "destroy" gun rights and "erase"
the Second Amendment if he is re-elected in
November.
While delivering one of the liveliest and best-
received speeches at the Conservative Political
Action Conference in Washington, NRA
Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre said
the president's low-key approach to gun rights
during his first term was "a "conspiracy to
ensure re-election by lulling gun owners to
sleep." "All that first term, lip service to gun
owners is just part of a massive Obama
conspiracy to deceive voters and hide his true
intentions to destroy the Second Amendment
during his second term," he said. "We see the president's strategy crystal clear: Get re-elected
and, with no more elections to worry about, get busy dismantling and destroying our firearms'
freedom, erase the Second Amendment from the Bill of Rights and excise it from the U.S.
Constitution."
Mr. LaPierre said the president's two Supreme Court appointees — Sonia Sotomayor and Elena
Kagan— are "two of the most rabid anti-gun justices in history." He also accused Justice Ruth
Bader Ginsburg of being a foe of gun rights.
And with the possibility of two or more Supreme Court justice positions opening during the next
four years, the NRA official warned that gun ownership would be in jeopardy if Mr. Obama stays
in office.
"If we get one more like those three, the Second Amendment is finished," he said. "It'll be the
end of our freedom forever."
Mr. LaPierre, who said "there is no greater freedom than to own a firearm," predicted that gun
owners will rally en masse to defeat Mr. Obama in November.
"All of what we know is good and right about America, all of it could be lost if Barrack Obama
is re-elected," he said. "It's all or nothing."
Monsanto Employees Don’t Eat
GMOs,

Eat it up Monsanto!
COMMENT: Monsanto staff
won’t eat it, but the general
public is subjected to GMOs
without informed consent via
labeling, or warnings about tests
that demonstrate danger of
1. organ failure, sterility and
cancer.
There’s a story doing the rounds again, about how Monsanto, one of the world’s largest
profiteers of genetically engineered (GE) food, banned GE food from its own corporate canteens!
Monsanto had its pants pulled down by Friends of the Earth in 1999, who revealed that the
company was refusing to serve to its own staff the very same GE food that it incessantly foists
upon impoverished nations on the premise that it will save populations from starvation. Although
it has never been proved, Monsanto constantly claims that GE food is harmless – so why wasn’t
it serving it in its own office?
In one canteen, run by external provider, Sutcliffe Catering, a notice read that a decision has been
taken to remove, as far as practicable, GE soya and maize from all food products served in the
canteen. “We have taken the above steps to ensure that you, the customer, can feel confident in
the food we serve”, the provider said.
“We believe in choice”, said Monsanto, while the company actually made sure that by not
serving GE food in its canteens they did not give staff the opportunity to ‘choose’ whether or not
to eat GE food as they de facto ensure that the staff did not get to eat GE food. Yet the same
choice isn’t available to farmers around the world, who most of the time have no choice but to
plant GE crops, thanks to a seed market that is often dominated by Monsanto.

GM foods not served in Monsanto
cafeteria
Crisis Boom
August 22, 2011
The Independent newspaper reports that
there is a notice in the cafeteria of the
Monsanto pharmaceutical factory is
High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire,
advising customers “as far as
practicable, GM soya and maize (has
been removed) from all food products
served in our restaurant. We have taken
the steps to ensure that you, the
customer, can feel confident in the food
we serve.” The notice was posted by the
Sutcliffe Catering Group. Monsanto
confirms the authenticity of the notice,
but company spokesman Tony Coombes says the only reason for the GM-free foods is because
the company “believes in choice.” Coombes says in other Monsanto locations employees are
happy to eat GM foods because they are “sprayed with fewer chemicals.”
