i have never heard about their initial plan and i have been following closely. where did you hear that? it’s terrifying.

From the guests on the Bill Moyer’s show that I mentioned in my previous post - the breaking point for our country is near and most likely is going to come from a major event(s), such as a deep recession and/or climate change, which will be the revolution needed to turn our government around.

The guests shared that we have to green the economy in order to survive as a country and in the world today. If you we don’t do it, it’s a disaster for us and for the
world. If we do do it, it’s a breaking point in the sense that it’s actually going to be used to jumpstart the economy and start an environmental revolution in a good way.

And as you can tell by the USDA’s/CDFA’s appalling initial plans, we need a green revolution.

I am so sorry to know you suffered so as a child. Sadly, it seems like most of the adults I know and care about have been abused at one time or another in their lives, and it’s a subject I care deeply about.

In Greek mythology, there were many stories regarding judgments passed by the gods on mortals who were pretending to be gods.

To me, the crime of abuse is deciding that another person is your property, to do whatever you want to. My personal outrage over the spraying of California has been in seeing that A.G. Kawamura and his allies evidently think we belong to them, to treat as they will.

They are so wrong. We belong to ourselves and our Creator. No one has a right to do these things to us.

These greedy, corporate people are unwittingly sitting in the seats of the mythological gods, foolishly thinking it’s up to them to deal out sickness and death. The irony, of course, is that they are doing this to their own air, their own water, their own bodies.

I think we are starting to show these men that they don’t own us, and that’s so important.

Thank you for sharing your personal experience, Donna. I’m sorry this was a hard read…I understand. Those old wounds can be so painful.

Hang in there!

I am very glad if this felt validating to you. Be assured, we are all going to keep fighting the CDFA on this. It’s intolerable for you or anyone else to go through a second round of exposure to these chemicals, whether via aerial spray on the borders of your town, or in ground treatments.

Thank you for taking the time to comment, Janis. I really appreciate it and am praying we can protect ourselves from further toxic trespass.

janis, i watched your video but didn’t realize you were a cancer survivor as well. that must be very frightening on top of the asthma which got better in fresno of all places. i too would feel worse outdoors, even at the beach. i just read they may be using orlf again and perhaps mixing 2 types of checkmate together. you must not feel too reassured by ONLY having your rural areas sprayed and upcoming ground treatments as well.

Thank you for all your support and hard work. J

It is our constitutional right to be safe. It is time for all of us to take our democracy back . . . .

According to the Congressional Budget Office, from 1979 to 2001, the after-tax income of the top 1% of U.S. households soared 139%, while the income of the middle fifth rose only 17% and the income of the poorest fifth climbed just 9%.
Yet, last year American CEOs earned 262 times the average wage of their workers—up tenfold from 1970!

Recently, on the PBS Bill Moyer’s Journal show he had several guests on his show who talked about
America’s political system being rigged to benefit the super-rich for several decades that continues to threaten our democracy.

Steve Fraser, a guest on the show, notes the second gilded age hallmarks: crony capitalism, extreme inequalities in wealth and income, ostentatious spending, and wage depression.

Steve Fraser further notes, “In the course of the 20th century, there were several eras of growing economic inequality. On a few occasions, they came to an end in a relatively gentle way, with democratic elections and more egalitarian legislation. More often, however, they were ended by a catastrophe, such as the Great Depression, a violent social revolution, or a world war. When the rich went out, it seems, they normally did so with a bang, and not with a whimper. The way things are now going, it is likely to be so in the future.”

As you look at the agricultural and chemical industries, our elected officials, and bureaucrats you see this extreme corruption and greed from people who don’t care about global warming or polluting our planet along with all living things. What will it take for our democracy to return to the American people?

The LBAM Project is all about greed and corruption. We need to take our democracy back and have LBAM reclassified so it no longer needs to be eradicated.
