Scat Eating Corporations Own Life on Earth

Nash — Wed, 05 May 2010 01:37:02 +0000

Diamond V. Chakrabarty was a supreme court case in 1980 where it was decided that genetically modified organisms, and all other forms of life, can be patented. This includes any and all genes of any living thing. Corporations have since utilized this as a tool to shadily increase their profits with little thought of the social, biological, and environmental consequences. I am convinced that soon this case will be known to everyone like Roe V. Wade.

WE ARE ALLOWING THE SOCIOPATHIC CORPORATE MACHINE TO MAXIMIZE THEIR PROFITS BY CONTROLLING AND MANIPULATING BIOLOGY, LIFE ON EARTH, IN ANY WAY THEY SEE FIT. THIS SHOULD TERRIFY YOU!

Watch this documentary about how corporations are making billions by patenting life, and fucking over farmers, consumers (that’s you), and the environment in the process.

The developed world follows Obama to pothetic climate change action

Nash — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 03:42:45 +0000

Obama’s bad influence at the Copenhagen climate change summit leads the world to what will be hailed as an international success in the fight against global warming, far from it. Because the US, UK, and friends have gone ahead and drafted their own climate change agenda which “...hands effective control of climate change finance to the World Bank [and would] abandon the Kyoto protocol” Read Naomi Klein’s interpretation below.

“AMY GOODMAN: Naomi Klein…The issue of the Kyoto Protocol, and the United States is always talking about, it sunsets, it ends in 2012…But thatâ€™s not true.

NAOMI KLEIN: Itâ€™s one of the great misconceptions…there is no expiration date on the Kyoto Protocol. What it had was, a first period of emissions cuts that ends in 2012. And the idea was that countries would come back together and increase their emission cuts and develop the agreement. But the idea that it just needs to be scrapped completely and replaced with a wholly new deal and that in addition to this there isnâ€™t time to come up with a whole new deal, which is the position of the US negotiators here, is based on this faulty premise that the Kyoto Protocol expires.

But I think, you know, the real issue here is what they want to replace the Kyoto Protocol with is much weaker than the Kyoto Protocol. …the Kyoto Protocol comes up with a goal for all the countries that they have to reach in terms of emissions cuts, and itâ€™s legally binding. Here, what they want to replace it to is, all countries go off, come up with their own goals, and then itâ€™s sort of mashed together into an agreement that really isnâ€™t a multilateral agreement, because the whole idea of multilateralism is that countries agree on the same set of rules and they agree to a common monitoring mechanism.

So the great irony of whatâ€™s happening here in Copenhagen is that it takes place in this context of this huge global celebration of the US embraceâ€”re-embrace of multilateralism. In fact, Obama is getting the Nobel Prize specifically for this. In the citation for the Nobel Prize, they talk about the reengagement with the climate talks, the embrace of multilateralism. Heâ€™s getting the Nobel Prize for it. But whatâ€™s actually happening here is that theyâ€™re using the tools of multilateralism, the infrastructure of multilateralism, to destroy multilateralism, to kill multilateralism. ”

Obama–guilty warmongering pile of shit like the rest

Nash — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 22:53:39 +0000

In his recent decision to escalate the war in Afghanistan Obama has become our latest status quo ringleader of the military industrial complex spreading death around the third world and here at home. He is following the FALSE ideology that military force will insure US security and spread democracy abroad, or just giving in to the corporate fucks who will become more rich as a result of the escalation. Here are the things that an increased military presence in Afghanistan will accomplish: 1) Terrible death and suffering for the Afghan people and American troops and their families. 2) Put added strain on the government budget limiting much needed reform to health care, education, energy policies etc. 3) Make a whole bunch of rich mother fucking corporations with military contracts even more rich (who do you think wants more war in the first place?). Fuck that!

Horse Grinder featured on Cascadia Now! radio show

Nash — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 05:46:46 +0000

Check out this slick radio show called Cascadia Now! which features great tunes + art + liberal politics and activism, what more could you ask for really?! Â They played our track This Is A Crisis and brilliantly placed between Sleater-Kinney and Melvins!! We are huge fans of both those bands so it is totally slick to have our track placed beside theirs.Â The host also had some kind words about usÂ e.g. “The best [band] name I have heard in 2009″ “intensely-political-bluesy-hardcore-duo-riot”.Â You can download that portion of the show as an mp3 here
