By Anthony Gucciardi Storyleak Award winning scientist David Suzuki has gone on record in a public talk posted online just days ago in saying that in the event of another seven or above earthquake, which he says has about a 95% chance of occurring over the next three years, it would mean a complete evacuation of North America and ‘bye bye Japan’. “I have seen a paper which says that if in fact the fourth plant goes under in an earthquake and those rods are exposed, it’s bye bye Japan and everybody on the west coast of North America should evacuate,” he said. As a recipient of 16 significant academic awards and a host of the popular CBC Television program entitled ‘The Nature of Things’, Suzuki […] Read More

Meet the people fighting resource grabs, cultivating traditional crops, and defending their communities from exploitation by multinationals. When it comes to ‘feeding the world,’ agribusiness keeps selling the same old “solutions” that are actually undermining people’s access to healthful and sustainable food: massive industrialized farming operations, biotech (GMO) crops, pesticide-intensive mono-cropping, and so-called “free trade” agreements. They insist we just need to produce more food (with their seeds and petrochemicals) for the nearly one billion people who go hungry each year—yet landfills overflow with food waste in countries where agribusinesses have gained control of seeds, livestock, markets, and prices. In spring 2013, Monsanto grabbed headlines when its genetically modified wheat, MON71800—not approved for production or consumption—was found growing in a farmer’s field. Yet in June, Monsanto and […] Read More
Appendix 2 Electrical Technology and Human Evolution L.B. Hainsworth, 1987 13/91 Dampier Avenue, Mullaloo, Western Austrlia 6025, Australia Copyright, Speculations in Science and Technology, Vol. 11, No. 2, p. 101 Abstract: The influence of naturally occurring Schumann resonant signals on brain-wave pattern evolution is formally stated to show that low-power electrical fields could produce evolutionary change. The electrical fields produced by modern electro-technology are then considered briefly, as possible sources of evolutionary change. The characteristics of some forms which might result are considered, and some of the factors tha tmight inhibit survival of existing forms. The extent of research work being done in this area is assessed in relation to the lack of data available, showing that any expert opinion asserting that there is no […] Read More
