#KissToStopMonsanto


On May 25, activists around the world will unite to March Against Monsanto.
If you are physically unable to be at a regional march on Saturday, you can march in place and send a #MAM #MonsantoIsPoison #LemonInstagrams2Congress Tweet from wherever you are to make it "trending" to #SayNoToGMO.


@OccupyLA will be meeting at 10AM in Pershing Square on Saturday, May 25 (a full moon!) for one of the biggest marches in the country- you can find out more at the facebook event page here: https://www.facebook.com/events/450802781654427/


& In honor of Mother Teresa's quote, "as soon as you have a pro-peace rally, I'll be there." and those handi-capable who are physically unable to march at all, but care about the RightToKnow what we put in our bodies, we suggest you #MakeLoveNotWar and #KissToStopMonsanto!  Post your #twitpics & #instagrams with #KissToStopMonsanto and we will feature them in a special collage/postcard/photogrid going to members of Congress!

Why do we march?
  • Research studies have shown that Monsanto’s genetically-modified foods can lead to serious health conditions such as the development of cancer tumors, infertility and birth defects.
  • In the United States, the FDA, the agency tasked with ensuring food safety for the population, is steered by ex-Monsanto executives, and we feel that’s a questionable conflict of interests and explains the lack of government-lead research on the long-term effects of GMO products.
  • Recently, the U.S. Congress and president collectively passed the nicknamed “Monsanto Protection Act” that, among other things, bans courts from halting the sale of Monsanto’s genetically-modified seeds.
  • For too long, Monsanto has been the benefactor of corporate subsidies and political favoritism. Organic and small farmers suffer losses while Monsanto continues to forge its monopoly over the world’s food supply, including exclusive patenting rights over seeds and genetic makeup.
  • Monsanto's GMO seeds are harmful to the environment; for example, scientists have indicated they have caused colony collapse among the world's bee population.
What are solutions we advocate?
  • Voting with your dollar by buying organic and boycotting Monsanto-owned companies that use GMOs in their products.
  • Labeling of GMOs so that consumers can make those informed decisions easier.
  • Repealing relevant provisions of the US's "Monsanto Protection Act."
  • Calling for further scientific research on the health effects of GMOs.
  • Holding Monsanto executives and Monsanto-supporting politicians accountable through direct communication, grassroots journalism, social media, etc.
  • Continuing to inform the public about Monsanto's secrets.
  • Taking to the streets to show the world and Monsanto that we won't take these injustices quietly.
We will not stand for cronyism. We will not stand for poison. That’s why we March Against Monsanto.

Dear Mr. Ombudsman

 
Dear Mr. Ombudsman:
We request you follow along this one-

We The People demand a formal investigation
And hope you will respond without hesitation,
Into the cruel & unusual treatment of the Unborn Children of
Lynwood Correctional Facility,
and any child’s developed impedement,
of Mothers Incarcerated While They Were Under the Age of Three…

It is well-documented that the Sheriffs of LA County are cliques of sadomasochistic gangs, in whose hands the medical care and safety of pregnant women hangs…
It is more than twenty-two months without any bastion,
let alone even a question,
raised to journalist Melissa Balin’s own treatment,
only records closed, Pitchess hearings postponed,
appeals met with deletement…
And How impartial can we expect them to be?  
With their Office of Investigative Review sharing urinals and coffee daily?

Clearly even writing to you is a joke,
With Sheriff Baca himself at the yoke
Of some of the greatest crimes against humanity
Committed by hands of baseless depravity
Thinking that no one will notice a few indigents missing
Especially unpopular defendants wearing heirloom pendants
Or young black girls released in the middle of the night;
The tired and defenseless, who won’t put up much of a fight…

Today, We ask you to take your job a little more seriously
And not dismiss these allegations of excessive force spuriously;
With or without you #theTruth will start to “out” in ways #mostcurious
So, Please honor your oath to protect & serve BOTH…

Most Respectfully,
-Unum E Pluribus

Why:  There is a major smart meter/smart grid industry gathering on March 20th, 2013
http://www.greentechmedia.com/events/live/the-networked-grid-2013
...and we are planning a major protest against it.

The demonstration will include a press conference where former DWP workers, engineers, people who have experienced health problems from the smart meters and smart meter grid, and those with concerns about surveillance will share their stories. 
Attendees of the conference will be executives from Edison, PG&E, SDG&E, SMUD, Arizona Public Service and other "smart" players including staff, consultants and others will be gathered to discuss the how to further financially exploit the deadly smart/surveillance meters and equally deadly smart/surveillance grid.  
Being touted as "green" these new meters and their grid can cause many serious illnesses including cancer, birth defects, heart arrhythmia/heart attack, sever headache, tinnitus, immune system problems and much more.   They also invade privacy, are easily hacked, are a fire hazard and systematically over-bill.

A Mother's Plea To A Wall of Silence


Carmen Trutanich is proud of his arrest and conviction record.

How many of these arrests were falsified like my daughter, filmmaker/activist and investigative journalist, Melissa Balin, on 11/14/2011 and fifteen months later we are still pleading for the dismissal of these falsified charges In The Interest of Justice?

Why was Melissa Balin’s Pitchess motion taken off the calendar and why was this highly intelligent and capable young woman shuffled off to the Mental Health Court; where, after a very brief sham interview, she was found incompetent to stand trial and committed from December 20, 2012 until June 16, 2013?

How is a competent person found incompetent and then found “restored” to competency again one month later with NO forensic evaluations or collateral data review? The Mental Health Court should be investigated including the not so honorable Judge Samantha Jessner.

After being found competent on January 30th by Judge Jessner, Melissa Balin was sent back to criminal court the very next day, January 31, 2013 at 8:30am for falsified misdemeanor charges with the same attorney who knowingly and maliciously curtailed her liberty without cause.

Attorney Tahan refused to file her papers, causing frustration.  Judge Barela denied her media request.  Judge Barela denied her second Marsden motion and refused to allow her to represent herself. Judge Barela refused to put her Pitchess motion back on the calendar AND refused to recuse himself after stating that he was indeed prejudiced.

In the interim, her fired attorney Anthony Tahan shoved her from the back while she was giving testimony to the Judge and yelled “Shut up!” in full view of everyone present in the courtroom, and no one did or said anything.

Finally her papers got filed as she was told by Judge Barela to get out.

I am an American citizen and I feel as though I have experienced domestic terrorism in the Los Angeles Courts. With Judges lying and bullying you out of your rights… with attorneys lying, and the sheriffs and the police lying because that‘s what they are “told to do”…they will do anything to “win” regardless of where the truth lies. And when you attempt to confront them, you are labeled NOT COMPLIANT and they think they can do whatever they please because they have the power and you don’t! They are all OATH TAKERS and they are supposed to be OATH KEEPERS and their first obligation is to serve and protect the citizens. We are ‘assumed’ to be innocent until proven guilty.

Somewhere the process of Justice has taken a strange turn, and the people in charge of protecting and keeping the Constitution For The United States Of America and the California State Constitution of 1849 are not keeping their oaths.

All of these alleged “wins” are happening at the good taxpayers’ expense -ruining families’ lives wasting beyond limited taxpayer resources to fight real crime and violence.

Please investigate Carmen Trutanich and the City Attorney’s office for prosecutorial misconduct.

Rodriguez-Chomat Should Go F$%#ck Himself!?$#%!

WARNING:  This Blog Is Protected By The First Amendment:
#Chalkupy #TheFirstAmendment #ContemptuousButNotGuilty
The only thing Penelope Soto should be sorry about is that she needed 2 "xannie bars" to feel like Rick Ross and that a pompous old assclown acting under color of law like Judge Jorge Rodriguez-Chomat would be able to subjugate her valiant sovereign spirit so quickly.

You can review the video yourselves above, but keep in mind that according to State v. Bullock (1991, LA) Penelope Soto's gesture would NOT be considered contemptuous as it was in response to colloquy initiated by the Judge, accompanying his violation of her Eighth Amendment right against excessive bail for no apparent reason than that she said "Adios" and did not feel she respected his "authoritay" by gigling... It is worth noting that according to Masinter, 355 So.2d 1288, the power to jail for contempt is given "on the assumption that it will be judiciously and sparingly employed".
But that's not all, Folks:  Knowing full well he had abused his "authoritay" in the damage control in the days following, he proceeds to publicly humiliate the girl under the guise of some "important life lesson" that you can't go around spouting profanity in public forums- REALLY?!  Isn't that RICH?!?!?  Check out the former member of the Miami legislature acting under color of law in 1991:
Read the whole story at:
http://gossipextra.com/2013/02/07/penelope-soto-flip-off-judge-florida-2267/

False arrests and oathkeepers committing perjury and knowing violations of the Constitutions they have sworn to protect and uphold should incite the public's Contempt FOR Court Officials breaking the law with impunity.  Instead the Good People are further punished by their tyranny through egregious acts of excessive bail, continuing mandamus, and Kafkaesque "trials by ordeal" deemed Cruel & Unusual in the times of The Crucible.

If you ever hear Women Seeking Justice say "More Weight", it shall be to place on the scales of Lady Justice FoRe we know her blind eyes are weeping tears of blood like a high school production of King Lear as we wait for her return from behind the closed doors of Judges' chambers while they finish sodomizing her in a #KubrickStyl #ExParte "Partay" they like to call, "#ForcedSex For #JustUS".

We The People #RefuseConsent.  You will no longer receive a salary from taxpayer funds for raping Lady Justice.  All Judges in current violation of Title 18 and Title 42 shall hereby write 1000 words or less on Why You Should Remain In Public Office Or Remove Yourself From Office.

Consider Yourselves Served Bitchess.
ps- We The People are looking forward to seeing Penelope Soto "blinged" out in Rick Ross' next music video
@StayOccupied By Any Creative Non-Violent Means Necessary Penelope Soto!  #InSolidarity.
