3-8-16 Why big business is expected to get involved in marijuana sales:
"That's certainly the lesson of history. In the 60s and 70s, big tobacco was interested in the business and now there's evidence that alcohol firms are getting interested too. This is a potentially a gigantic business for them. At the moment, it's still a taboo, but that won't last for long. I wouldn't be surprised if in the future, we start seeing Marlboro marijuana cigarettes. Though they deny it at the moment, I wouldn't rule it out for the future." https://www.cpr.org/news/story/report-colorado-better-washington-tamping-down-pot-black-market#sthash.WrxH4WPe.dpuf

WASHINGTON – Some of the richest men and women in the world met secretly recently in New York to conspire on using their vast wealth to bring the world’s population growth under control. http://www.wnd.com/2009/05/99105/#e0MewLEUxMvsSE0l.99
9-13-08 Muslim hate fanatics plan to take over Britain by having more babies and forcing a population explosion, it has been revealed. The swollen Muslim population would be enough to conquer Britain from inside, they claim. Fanatics told a meeting of young Muslims on the anniversary of the 9/11 atrocity, that it would then be easy to impose Sharia law on the population, the Sun newspaper reported. Speaking at a meeting in London, Anjem Choudary, right-hand man of exiled preacher Omar Bakri Mohammed, said: “It may be by pure conversion that Britain will become an Islamic state. We may never need to conquer it from the outside.”

2-15-16 Radical Muslims plan to destroy the Christian West through waves of immigration into Europe and the United States, and ever-escalating attacks on Western mores in what is called “civilization jihad,” said former Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.).
Young male Islamists are being sent into Europe to establish a “rape culture,” she said, and France already is a “religious battleground” where hundreds of Christian establishments have been attacked. “This is intentional and it’s meant to destroy Western Christendom,” said Bachmann. http://www.cnsnews.com/blog/michael-w-chapman/bachmann-islamists-plan-destroy-christian-west-through-civilization-jihad

3-22-16 From January 2000 to the end of 2015 China closed 1,200 merger and acquisition deals in the United States worth a combined total of $63.3 billion. Already this year, announcements have been made of Chinese intentions to purchase Hollywood’s Legendary Entertainment Group for $3.5 billion, large construction equipment manufacturer Terex Corporation for $5.4 billion, General Electric’s appliance division Haier for $5.4 billion, Fortune 500 company Ingram Micro for $6.3 billion, and what would be the largest acquisition of a U.S. firm by a Chinese company to date, Starwood Hotels & Resorts for $14.3 billion.
It would seem that the way to overtake a country may not be with planes, guns, and bombs, but rather with the almighty dollar. http://www.thenewamerican.com/economy/item/22812-china-buys-us-firms-at-record-rate

10-20-15 Already, the noises coming out of Washington DC appear to be that American politician are ready to sell-out their country by signing on to both the Transpacific Partnership (TPP) and the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) in exchange for campaign contributions and others various and sundry bribes from the billionaire class seeking to secure a new epoch of monopolies. Will Washington do what Europe is attempting to do – just implement it, even if the people do not want it?
The push-back against TTIP in Europe is obvious, as millions have already assembled against what is clearly a bureaucratic sell-out of national sovereignty. http://21stcenturywire.com/2015/10/20/europe-secretly-starts-imposing-ttip-despite-publics-obvious-opposition/

As global policy makers continue to merge with the interests of multinational or transnational corporations to achieve their goals, we could view the TTP or the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) as having zero national loyalty to any existing nation state or its set of laws. http://21stcenturywire.com/2015/06/13/trojan-horse-the-trans-pacific-partnership-tpp-has-already-bought-off-washington/

If only free enterprise was the standard of economic commerce, instead of the state-fascism that has developed over the years of the “Free Trade” ruse that has destroyed real competition from the financial environment.
Central planning failed miserably in the old Soviet Union, now we are supposed to believe that a corporatist negotiated arrangement with the full backing and force of government bureaucracies is a superior method for prosperity. http://21stcenturywire.com/2013/11/26/part-one-trans-pacific-partnership-a-new-era-of-economic-enslavement/

The patriarch and his family have only two goals: accumulating wealth and concentrating power. Violence and ideology—the pillars of a totalitarian state—become, in the hands of a mafia state, mere instruments. The distinction is particularly meaningful because all the states the model describes are post-Communist. Where the state used to own the entire economy, now it seeks simply to control the most lucrative businesses and skim off the top of the rest—and eliminate those who refuse to pay.
Sergei Karpukhin/Reuters: Defense minister Sergei Shoigu and then-deputy prime minister Igor Sechin with President Vladimir Putin, St. Petersburg, Russia, June 21, 2012 Mafia states murder people, just like the Mafia does—but they murder only the people who are immune to coercion and blackmail: journalists, for example, or defiantly independent actors like the opposition politician Boris Nemtsov, shot dead a year ago in Moscow. “But these murders, and even imprisonments, are on a much smaller scale than in traditional dictatorship because they are not necessary,” says Magyar. Most of the time, coercion will do the job—and mafia states, unlike some others, are pragmatic and do not murder for the sake of it. http://www.nybooks.com/daily/2016/03/14/putin-mafia-state-lesin-killing/

3-7-16 No one knows why this explosion in the Zika virus has occurred, but there is one theory of particular intrigue.
Prior to the Zika outbreak, an English biotech company known as Oxitec released genetically modified mosquito hybrids into the environments of the Cayman Islands, Malaysia and Brazil. The project was executed with the hope of eradicating the Aedes species mosquitoes that were causing people to contract terrible diseases such as Dengue Fever and Chikungunya, the same species of mosquito that transmits the Zika virus.
Traditionally, biotech companies employ a strategy known as the Sterile Insect Technique when attempting to stifle the population growth of a particular pest. This technique involves exposing male insects of a particular species to radiation in the laboratory then releasing them into the environment to breed. The corrupted males then create sickly weak and sickly offspring, dying at an early stage. However, this technique does not work with mosquitoes because the males are particularly susceptible to radiation sickness, dying before they get a chance to mate. This is where Oxitec took over.
Oxitec injected male Aedes species mosquitoes with a gene that produces a protein which shuts off other cellular functions within the insect. After the males mate, they pass on the gene, dying along with their defective offspring. Although Oxitec had humanity’s best interest in mind, is it possible that these field tests have led to the reemergence of a once forgotten viral strain? The answer is unclear, yet still raises further points of discussion. http://www.dailyillini.com/article/2016/03/opinion-zika-virus-genentic-engineering-mosquitoes
