Wow! This letter is indeed explosive. I sit around with my friends discussing these things and we've been feeling so powerless to change it.

Thanks for providing the proverbial kick in the pants - I always forget that the most powerful weapon we have is perception and free speech, to be aware, awake, and let our million distractions keep our attention diverted from our leaders for a SECOND.

I'm EMAILINg the link to everyone I know ... THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

Wow, What has happened to the days when we were actually represented by people from all walks of life for 2-4 years to being represented by members of one profession for their lifetime. We now have attorneys that supposedly represent us in office that have those positions for many years.

You hit the nail exactly on the head in all of your arguments, but what can we actually do? Good people (that are not lawyers) are trying to get elected yearly and those same good people absolutely cannot muster up enough money to pay for it. We have become the most corrupt country in the world. He or she with the most money wins should be our political motto.

Scientists Estimate That Pesticides are Reducing Crop Yields by ONE-THIRD Through Impaired Nitrogen Fixation - July 2007
Drawing on their recent work and other published studies, the team projected that pesticides and other contaminants are reducing plant yield by one-third as a result of impaired SNF. This remarkable conclusion suggests one mechanism, or explanation of the yield-enhancing benefits of well-managed, long-term organic farming systems. http://www.organic-center.org/science.hot.php?action=view&report_id=99
Furthermore this is all about monopoly not science :

On 17th December 2007 Monsanto was found guilty of contempt of the South African Advertising Authority (ASA) for publishing false claims about the safety of GM foods.

In January,2007, Monsanto was fined 15,000 euros (US$19,000 ) in a French court for misleading the public about the environmental impact of herbicide Roundup.

A former chairman of Monsanto Agriculture France was found guilty of false advertising for presenting Roundup as biodegradable and claiming that it left the soil clean after use. Monsanto's French distributor Scotts France was also fined 15,000 euros.

In 2005 Monsanto was caught smuggling South African produced GM Bollgard cotton seed into Indonesia disguised as rice. Monsanto was fined for bribing Indonesian officials.

In 2006 Monsanto suppressed evidence of serious damage to the liver and kidneys of rats in their MON 863 GM maize trials until ordered to release this evidence by a German Court.

In June, 2007, a second peer-reviewed case involving another variation of Monsanto's GM maize, namely, NK 603, has been shown by studies to be potentially toxic to humans. NK 603 has been approved for food, feed, processing, and propagation in Europe and the Philippines The new research, carried out by the French scientific research institute CRIGEN, involves biotech firm Monsanto's NK 603 GMO corn (marketed commercially under the name Round-up Ready).

Rats that were fed GM maize showed significant differences in measurements, as well as significant weight differences compared to those fed with normal maize. Almost 70 statistically significant differences were observed and reported - 12 for hematology parameters, 18 for clinical chemistry parameters, nine for urine chemistry parameters, six for the organ weights (brain, heart, liver), 14 for body weights and body weight changes, and eight for food consumption. toxicity, The most alarming was the diminished brain size. Scientists warned that diminished brain size sent out a urgent danger warning for growing children fed `GM food.

This essay may not be banned, but a presidential candidate that has been fighting for these issues above for 20 years has been essentially ignored by msm.

If you look at Ron Paul's history, he has never accepted any money from lobbyists, isn't a lawyer (he's a physician) and as for GMO's, he believes that these companies shouldn't be able to use government as a tool to get their products marketed, and that the function of US government shouldn't impede on every minuscule part of your life. It should be there to ensure personal freedom.

Remember, right now, all major news in the US is owned by 5 companies, down from 50 just 20 years ago. These companies also own the biotech firms and employ lawyers. What is the chance that listening to them will inform you of the 'better way'?

Bill Gates has a lot of money. He isn't just going to throw it away, but if he can invest it in biotech companies that he can cause to grow by 'donating' money to for research of diseases that his other investment companies have caused, well, that kinda works like compounding interest. And that is his point. If he wanted to cure death, he would have a 10% fee added to every microsoft product and use that as well on stuff like Rota Teq. There are companies like Patagonia who do this, and who really care. But they don't get coverage or publicity for the real difference they make in the area of their choosing.

Great article, but change comes from the top, and unless the US can elect someone who is personally against taking money for special interests, and using government for no-bid contracts for his friend's companies, nothing will change.

Mark,

Enjoyed your call to action. I am concerned with the changes in our nation, but I am comforted by the promises of Christ. While the world darkens, there is always a remnant as there was during the sufferings of Jeremiah. His promise to us was that He would build His church and the gates of Hades would not prevail against it. Of course, gates are for defense so this indicates that we are tasked with storming those gates and freeing countless prisoners held within the kingdom of darkness. Our God is sovereign over all situations, and He will have His bride prepared for Him.

I appreciate your book detailing the first year of Network Marketing. Thanks for getting me the information I need to succeed in this business. You are like Joseph dispensing the food and riches of Egypt for all during the famine. Thanks for considering others and helping many to succeed and grow. I will circulate your letter and support your call to action.

All The Best,
Sam Wright

Mark,
As one trained to Biochemical Genetics, turned businessman, I am amazed that you see what is clearly in the face of the scientist. Scientist tend to lose sight of societal responsibility while being lost in the passion of the discovery. Now that I am out of the laboratory it is very hard to remain positive when I feel like I'm tied to railroad rails with a train in sight. Chip

Mr. Yarnell, I promise to forward this essay to all. What an impressive condemnation of some major trends to disastor. This treatise is brillant, didn't expect this from the ad writer in USA Today in 2003/2004. I will read some of the literature mentioned. Yes, I collected dozens of the original ads with the intent to copy your ad-nique. Politicans, the MEDIA, the world's consumers, the major corporations, and others need people dictated CHANGE. We are way past ORWELL's 1984. Regrettably!

Well Mark ... all I can say is ... WOW!!!

Talk about hitting the nail on the head!! I have been having this discussion with my personal mentor for the past few months now and almost everything you talk about is what we've been discussing. There are a few things in your essay that was unaware of so thank you for exposing me to them!

This is an incredible essay and I'm passing it on to my entire team and my entire address book!

AWESOME! Keep them coming!
