Welcome to the Health Ranger Report of January 21st, 2016.
Yep, I'm going to try out this new format.
I'm just covering the headlines that are breaking today on naturalnews.com and other websites that we have.
And I'd like your feedback if you enjoy this format.
So, in about 12 minutes or less, here are the stories for today.
Whole Foods GMO labeling countdown is now just two years away.
You may recall that Whole Foods back in 2013 announced that they would require everything they sell in all their stores to be accurately labeled with its GMO content by the year 2018.
Well, we are more than halfway there.
It's 2016 now, and we haven't really heard much from Whole Foods about this, although through the grapevine I've been told that they're very serious about it.
Campbell's Soup recently came out and said they support GMO labeling mandated.
And that they're going to label all their GMO ingredients in their soups over the next couple of years by 2018.
Chipotle, of course, said it's going 100% non-GMO in its menu.
And a lot of food manufacturers and retailers are going either non-GMO or GMO labeling.
So let's see what Whole Foods does.
We're obviously going to keep tracking that situation and see if they will label GMOs by 2018.
Maybe after that we'll ask them to label the lead that's in the protein products they still sell.
I doubt they'll do that.
Eat lead, they say.
Just don't label it.
Alright, moving on.
GMO scientists are now developing techniques to intentionally pollute natural organisms' genomes to permanently alter DNA. So now they're talking about these genetic engineers are talking about they want to deliberately alter the genomes of various species.
They want to embrace, in essence, genetic pollution as their goal.
So, okay, it's not enough to just...
Genetically modified crops, now they want to do it with animals, and there's this new technique, relatively new, out there called CRISPR, C-R-I-S-P-R, gene editing.
It's kind of like a simple garage band hack for gene editing, and it will make the modification of the genetic code of animals available to, well, lots of people, hobbyists, hackers, you know, genetic hackers.
Heck, in our lab, we could probably even do it too if we wanted to.
So watch out for that.
We're going to get – oh, by the way, yes, Stephen Hawking just said today that he thinks that humanity is at great risk of being wiped out by a genetically engineered virus.
Yeah, and he's not kidding.
Oh, it's interesting to hear Stephen Hawking echoing the warnings that I publicized three years ago in 2013 I said the same thing in a series on natural news called Stop Out of Control Science, SOS, and I mentioned that as one of the risks.
But see, here's the thing.
Terrorists or depopulation elitists, it's hard to tell them apart.
You know, ISIS, Bill Gates, pretty much the same goal, just kill people.
So either one of them, if they get a hold of this CRISPR technique, which is super easy to do, they could create a genetically modified or engineered deadly virus and then just unleash it in an airport like 12 Monkees.
You know, remember the film, 12 Monkeys, Brad Pitt?
Oh yeah.
What a great apocalyptic future.
So anyway, that's in the news.
That's what's happening.
Okay, next story.
Millions of bees are turning up dead across GMO cornfields.
They're soaked with neonicotinoid pesticides, sometimes called neonics.
So yeah, the neonics are killing the honeybees, the pollinators, and the honeybees are responsible for pollinating about one-third of the food supply, which means that when they finally kill off all the bees with all their chemicals and all their biotech crops and the chemicals that have to be used on those crops...
Then we're going to lose about a third of our food supply.
So that's Monsanto's vision for how to feed the world.
Destroy the food supply by killing the honeybees.
Oh my god.
Yeah.
So, hey, and the EPA and the USDA say more poison is great for the economy.
So keep spraying more neonics and pesticides and herbicides.
Hey, people will eat whatever they can't see, right?
That's what the government thinks.
All right, next story.
Why don't dentists promote adding arsenic to the water supply, along with fluoride?
After all, they're both naturally occurring.
I actually wrote the title to this article, even though I didn't write the article, but I assigned it.
You know how dentists, who are insane, by the way, from Too Much Mercury, they always talk about, hey, we should put fluoride in the water because it's naturally occurring, they say.
As if the fact that there's some well somewhere in the world that's got way too much fluoride in it, that means they should dump it into the city of Austin water supply, for example?
That's insane.
So my point was, in this title, by the same reasoning, well, why don't they say we should add arsenic to the water supply?
Arsenics naturally occurring.
You can drill wells in many places in the world and get arsenic poisoning.
That's well known.
So why aren't we adding arsenic to the water supply according to that same logic of these dentists?
I mean, hey, fluoride's a poison.
Why not add another poison?
Hey, why don't they just say add mercury to the water supply?
Call it treatment.
Call it antibacterial treatment.
I wouldn't be surprised if they try that.
So you can check out that story and all of these at naturalnews.com.
Next story.
The U.S. healthcare system really does kidnap teens.
A victim speaks out.
Yeah, if you haven't heard about medical kidnapping yet, you need to get informed.
This story by Julie Wilson at naturalnews.com.
A Missouri mother has been accused of medical child abuse after requesting a second opinion regarding her 17-year-old son's medical care.
And yep, you know, the state authorities come in and they kidnap the children and then sometimes charge the parents with child abuse or kidnapping themselves.
It's a crazy system out there.
All right, here's another story.
Google, Yahoo, and other tech companies provided, quote, full assistance to the NSA spying on Americans, says agency lawyer.
So there's a senior lawyer for the NSA that has admitted that his employer, the NSA, gets help from all of these top media and technology companies to violate the Fourth Amendment rights of Americans.
Yep, the tech companies had full knowledge of the NSA Internet Data Collection Program.
Asked during a recent hearing of the U.S. government's institutional privacy watchdog if collection under the law, known as Section 702, occurred with the, quote, full knowledge and assistance of any company from which information is obtained, this attorney replied, yes.
There you go.
So if you think that you're not being spied on, you're insane.
I remember five or ten years ago, anybody who said the government is spying on you and listening to your phone calls and recording your phone calls and monitoring your emails, all those people were called conspiracy theorists and kooks.
Now the NSA is admitting that they do all that and that they've done it for five or ten years or actually a lot longer.
So isn't that interesting how something that used to be a conspiracy theory is now, you know, front page fact.
Alright, next story.
Overuse of electronics is causing worldwide epidemic of nearsightedness in children.
Yeah, have you seen these kids hunched over their mobile devices just enveloped in these video games on their little mobile phones or iPads or whatever?
They look like little hunchbacks.
And they're only eight years old or something.
I'm telling you, we're going to have...
If this doesn't stop, we're going to have a whole generation of physically deformed...
You know, actual handicapped, a generation of handicapped people who grow up with hunchbacks and repetitive motion disorders in their thumbs and wrists and elbows.
And they have eyesight problems as well because they're always focusing at the exact same plane distance from their eyes.
And even worse than this, we have children who don't even know what the real world is.
They don't recognize the real world.
They've never been in a forest, never hiked on a trail.
They've never planted a seed or harvested a vegetable from a garden.
They have no idea what the real world is like.
They live inside these artificial virtual constructs of their social media or their online gaming or What have you, various interactions that are digital, electronic, and not real, and their bodies are falling apart because of it.
So, I remember when I was a kid, you know, that was obviously before the internet, before even desktop computers.
And gosh, we had to play in the real world, you know?
We had to build stuff with our hands, and we would launch our bikes off of ramps.
You know, and break our bones.
One of my friends would break a bone every year.
I actually had strong bones.
I didn't break any bones, but a lot of my friends did.
We would build swings and do backflips off of trapeze-type operations from tall trees with weak ropes.
We did crazy stuff, you know, in the real world.
It wasn't virtual.
It was real.
And because of that, we have real-world hands-on skills to this day.
My generation does.
You know, we can repair things.
It's very handy in the laboratory when I have to redo the sample uptake plumbing on an ICP-MS instrument.
I'm very glad that I grew up in a childhood environment where I was hands-on and not just in a virtual world.
Okay, another story.
Again, check naturalnews.com for all of these.
Exposure to the toxic heavy metal cadmium accelerates cellular aging.
You know, we look for cadmium in a lot of products and foods in the Natural News Forensic Food Lab.
And I've documented quite a lot of cadmium in some cacao products and some coffee products as well.
Cadmium is one of the heavy metals that I look for in addition to lead, arsenic, mercury, sometimes uranium or copper or strontium.
So, yeah, cadmium, not a good one, and it's in a lot of foods.
Alright, we're almost to the end here.
House Homeland Security Chairman warns that hackers will target the U.S. power grid.
Now, hopefully this isn't news to you.
You should know about this.
This is citing Richard Clark, author of the book Cyber War.
He's a national security expert.
And he's warning that we are vulnerable to cyber attacks.
And, you know, of course, he's correct.
We are.
And it's not just that they would hack our computers.
It's that they could take down our power grid or take over our nuclear-powered plants or perhaps our oil refineries or other systems like the system that pumps water to the entire city of Los Angeles.
How would you like hackers to take that over and shut it down or burn out the pumps or something, you know?
Probably wouldn't be too difficult.
They probably know how to do it already.
They're just waiting to pull the trigger on the right day when they start selling all the U.S. Treasuries at the same time.
So yeah, we're vulnerable and everybody's in total denial.
Everybody's living in their delusional, la-la, fairytale lands as usual.
If you listen to my podcast for any length of time, you know that I'm constantly warning you about the delusional people of our world, and I'm trying to make people less delusional so that they wake up and face the real world and prepare for what's really coming.
You know, like people who think the stock market isn't going to crash are also delusional because, of course, it will crash, and it is crashing.
It's already crashing.
The crash has begun.
