The voters of Mendocino County have decided that they approved a ballot measure "H" banning growth of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) food crops within their county. Many other counties have followed suit and this pattern of local ordinances against GMO crops is a threat to biotech corporations (Monsanto, Genentech, Bayer/Aventis, etc..) who would prefer to continue on with the trend of pushing small organic farmers out of business and replacing their crop biodiversity with GMO monoculture..
Though the farmers/consumers in Mendocino County wouldn't be directly effected by SB 1056, any other county/region that has not yet passed a GMO free ordinance would no longer be allowed to have any say in whether or not GMO crops are grown in their county/region. SB 1056 states that local regulations will be rendered invalid by the passing of SB 1056. For this reason organic consumers and farmers say "NO on SB 1056!"
From GMO Free Mendocino;
"With only a week left until the California legislature adjourns for this year, Senator Florez has again amended SB 1056 to extend the reach of this pending preemptive strike against local action on genetically engineered crops. As it now reads, the bill would preempt local decisions with respect to both seeds and nursery stock. The newly amended bill is attached.
If brought to a vote, the bill will most likely pass the Assembly, so the Senate is perhaps the only place the bill can be stopped. Senate president pro tem Don Perata will play a key role in the fate of the bill, so it's important to let him know we are watching and we expect him to do the right thing by insuring that local rights with respect to this critical issue are preserved. Should it come to a vote, we will also need to be sure Senator Chesbro will take a strong stand against the bill.

So we are asking you to take three actions in defense of Mendocino, Trinity and Marin Counties and the cities of Point Arena and Arcata, and in support of the Sonoma County initiative and the proposed ordinance in Lake County:
1. Contact Senator Perata by phone or fax at your earliest convenience on Tuesday, September 6 (Monday is the Labor Day holiday): (916) 651-4009, Fax (916) 327-1997. (email is okay, but telephone or fax contact has more impact -
Senator.Perata@sen.ca.gov) Tell Senator Perata that you support the right of local government to make decisions with regard to GE crops, and ask him to be sure this bill is not permitted to come to a vote.
2. Contact Senator Wes Chesbro at your earliest convenience on Tuesday: (916) 651-4002, Fax (916) 323-6958 (
Senator.Chesbro@sen.ca.gov). Tell Senator Chesbro that you support the right of local government to make decisions with regard to GE crops, and ask him to defend Measure H by voting against SB 1056.
3. Send this message to at least three supporters of GMO-Free Mendocino.
With thanks in advance for your continued support of our right to keep Mendocino County crops free of genetic contamination!
Doug Mosel"

by Greenwood Earth Alliance
Please call or email your Senator pro temp Don Perata's office right away and ask him to oppose SB1056, even if amended.
Also call your regional State Senator at their Sacramento offices asap - ask them to oppose SB1056!
Dear Friends and Colleagues!
The state assembly passed SB 1056 which revokes local government's right to ban GE crops in the absence of state law protecting people and the environment against genetic pollution--the bill is a product of the Big Business
lobbying group ALEC. In order to pass, the bill was modified to suspend local rights for two years only--enough time to get the crops in and pollution in high gear.
Please call Senate President Don Perata's office right away and ask him to oppose SB1056, even if amended.
Senate President Pro Tem Don Perata: (916) 651-4009
Email if you can't call: Senator.Perata [at] sen.ca.gov
Also call your State Senator at their Sacramento offices asap - ask them to oppose SB1056!
For example:
Wes Chesbro: (916) 651-4002 (Santa Rosa, Sebastopol, and everything North of there)
Carole Migden: (916) 651-4003 (Rohnert Park, Petaluma, and
everything south of there)
Go here to look for your state senator if you don't know who he/she is:
http://www.senate.ca.gov/~newsen/senators/senators.htp This is extremely urgent! To understand the enormity of the threat of GE Crops and Food, read SEEDS OF DECEPTION by Jeffrey Smith and/or view the video THE FUTURE OF FOOD!
Both excellent!
Onward!

GE-Free San Luis Obispo sums it up quite nicely;
"SB1056 would pre-empt any local authority over GMO seeds. Contact Senator Parata today and ask him to oppose this poorly written and over-reaching legislation."
more info @;
http://slogefree.org/ BTW, the violent destruction of community farms like SouthCentral farm and the attempted passing of pro-GMO Senate Bill 1056 would take even the basic rights of growing food out of the hands of working class people, leaving the remaining corporate farms (ConAgra, ADM, etc..) with complete control of the food supply via patented GMO seeds..
Following WTO/NAFTA protocol, any community regulation on GMO food crops is deemed as a "free trade barrier" despite how the corporation's actions (GMO pollen drift) are negatively impacting the region's economy/ecosystem..
ENRON AND WEATHER CONTROL
For the most part these are old articles...i got the lead from an article i
pulled off clifford carnicoms site, its after these links, somebody posted
it without a link a while ago, 01/03, it bears reading all the way. It
obviously is from the time before the big E went kaput. I wonder if it had
anything to do with the big E going kaput....if the CT technology was
co-opted for surveillance, and other nefarious uses like mass mind
alteration, because of, let us say, something like TERROR, then it is not
beyond the realm of possibility that enron got shut down to hide all
this....there were many small-fry weather control companys like Dyn-O-Mat
ffeding off this lopsided insurance, guaranteeing enron or whoever certain
weather factors for a price...even being small fry the ops were big bux and
a lot of the early stuff went down in Clintons time....I think the initial
spraying experiments by these weather companys was a success, meaning nobody
squawked, and then way was made to deploy the control technology which govt
has been developing now for 5 decades or more....b

The hype over weather derivatives is being replaced by real deals, and
everybody’s scrambling for position.
The viewership of the Weather Channel has always skewed decidedly toward the
nerdy. But if the lightning-fast development of the weather derivatives
market is any indication, before long the ratings-challenged cable channel
could reach a whole new audience financial players around the world who have
suddenly become obsessed with occluded fronts, La Niña and other weather
arcana that for years had been the exclusive province of people with
backyard barometers.
While derivatives historians may quibble over the precise date of the first
weather contract some say July 1997, while others say August of that year
everyone in the weather business agrees that the market hit the ground
running.
There has been an explosion of deals in the marketplace and a tremendous
amount of interest on the client side, says Richard Turrin of Paribas’
strategic derivatives group. The industry has seen the birth of a new market
in the last year to 18 months, and in the last six months the growth has
been exponential.
Houston-based energy giant Enron estimates that between 900 and 1,000
transactions have taken place to date, with the notional value of those
deals exceeding .5 billion. Kansas City, Mo.-based Aquila, the unregulated
marketing and trading arm of Utilicorp, puts that figure closer to 1,200.
While energy firms are still the most active in the weather business, other
industries are getting into the game as well. Enron has already acted as
counterparty in deals with manufacturers of snowmobiles and snowblowers, the
film industry and the fertilizer industry, and has fielded inquiries from
theme parks, golf courses, sports-drink makers, car washes and ski resorts.
Aquila boasts transactions with salt producers, ski resorts and other
entertainment companies. In addition to the relatively commonplace
degree-day deals, says Enron’s Lynda Clemmons, a director at the firm, she
has been approached by companies interested in rainfall, snowfall and even
barometric pressure contracts.
******* Weather derivatives allow companies to control the effects of the
weather on demand for their products. Here are some of the most popular
structures.*******
Temperature Contracts
A degree day is the deviation of a day’s average temperature from 65 degrees
Fahrenheit. In the summertime, the demand for energy increases with every
degree above 65; in the winter, the demand for heat increases for every
degree day below 65. There are a number of degree-day products available to
energy producers. In most, payment is made for every degree day above or
below the strike, with a maximum payout that can range from 0,000 to
million or more...

Bernard Eastlund, Inventor of HAARP (High Frequency Active AURORAL Research
program), from his Patent # 4,686,605 “...This invention relates to a method
and apparatus for altering at least one selected region normally existing
above the Earth’s surface...by initially transmitting electromagnetic
radiation from the Earth’s surface... altering solar absorption...weather
modification is possible... for example, altering upper atmosphere wind
patterns by constructing one or more plumes of atmospheric particles which
will act as a lens or focusing device...A moving plume could also serve as a
means for focusing a vast amount of sunlight on selected portions of the
Earth...HIGH INTENSITY, WELL CONTROLLED ELECTRICAL FIELDS CAN BE PROVIDED IN
SELECTED LOCATIONS FOR VARIOUS PURPOSES...(caps ours, ed.)...Still further,
plumes in accordance with the present invention can be formed to simulate
and/or perform the same functions as performed by detonation of a “Heave”
type nuclear device without actually having to detonate such a device...”
More Excerpts from Patent #4,686,605 HAARP (High Frequency Active Auroral
Research Program)
DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION...
...Sufficient energy is employed to cause ionization of neutral particles
(molecules of oxygen, nitrogen, and the like, PARTICULATES, etc.) which then
become part of the (plasma) region, thereby increasing the charged particle
density of the region. This effect can also be enhanced by providing
artificial particles, eg electrons, ions, etc, directly into the region to
be affected from a rocket, satellite, or the like, to supplement the
particles in the naturally occurring plasma. The artificial particles are
also ionized by the transmitted electromagnetic radiation thereby increasing
charged particle density of the resulting plasma of the region...
In another embodiment of the invention, electron cyclotron resonance heating
is carried out in the selected region or regions at sufficient power levels
to allow a plasma present to generate a MIRROR FORCE which forces the
charged electrons of the altered plasma UPWARD along the force line to an
altitude which is higher than the original altitude... Sufficient power, eg
10 to the 15th joules, can be applied so that altered plasma can be trapped
on the field line between mirror points and will oscillate in space for
prolonged periods of time. By this embodiment, a plume of altered plasma can
be established at selected locations for communications modifications or
other purposes...
-----------------------------
ed.-That means Surveillance KEYHOLES of ALLLLLL types, folks. Coupled with
Time Domain Corporation Classified Eavesdropping Patents (200+) that does
not bode well for Human Liberty ANYWHERE.
--------------------------
...Thus, this invention provides the ability to put unprecedented amounts of
power in the Earths Atmosphere at strategic locations, and maintain the
power injection level, particularly if random pulsing is employed, in a
manner far more precise than heretofore accomplished by prior art,
particularly by the detonation of nuclear devices of various yields at
various altitudes...
Disruption of communications can be employed by one knowledgeable of this
invention as a communications network at the same time (Disruption is caused
to other parties)...knowledge of the various em waves being employed and how
they will vary in frequency and magnitude can be used to an advantage for
positive communication, and eavesdropping purposes at the same time..

Abstract: In conjunction with the DNA barium releases, Avefria I and II, an
experiment was undertaken to determine if radio communication was possible
off the base of a striated plasma created by these barium releases. A
transmitting station was set up to broadcast a steady signal at two HF
frequencies toward the base of the barium striations and two receiving
stations listened for signal returns on the two frequencies. (The chosen
geometry prevented reflections off the sides of the barium cloud from
affecting the experiment). One station heard substantial returns while the
other heard nothing. Data from the first station provide an estimate of the
reflection cross sections for the base of the striated barium cloud. The
negative result from the second station arises partly from limited
sensitivity of equipment but the upper limit on cross section was less than
that seen from the first station. This suggests a directional character for
the signal reflected from the base of the cloud.

California's number one cash crop, a large amount of which is reportedly grown in Mendocino county, has been genetically modified for years.
Just a quick correction, the Mendocino cash crop (either grapes or cannabis) the comment author above mentions was not genetically modified, though both species were hybridized over many generations, a far more natural process of selection within a species, while GMO/GE technology inserts genes from entirely different species, like fish genes into tomatoes (see Cal-Gene "Flavr-Savr"). Tomatoes can be hybridized with other tomatoes, fish hybridized with other fish, but not fish with tomatoe. Hybridization selects based on desireable traits over generations and is similar to what would occur in a natural ecosystem processes. GMO/GE technology is not duplicated in nature, even the "transposons" that exchage gene material in bacteria are not pulling (correctly "bombarding") genes from other species into their own DNA that far along the evolutionary line. Moreover, Mae Wan Ho (author "The Fluid Genome") has disproven the assumption of leading biotech scientists that genetics is fixed and can thus be patented and "owned". Instead, genetics are fluid and subject to change and adaptation like all biomass in the Earth, evolution modifies structures and traits as needed, easier to be caretaker of the ecosystem instead of tampering with the processes of life itself..
BTW, this is not the same as stem cell research, a scientific method of undifferentiated tissue development could eliminate the harsh cruelty of animal testing and heal human diseases with greater accuracy & effectiveness. Stem cell research is what GW Bush is attempting to outlaw, not biotech (GW Bush just luuuuvs biotech corporations!!)
