June 14th Friday 6:30 pm  Sierra Club film night: Movie: A Darker Shade of Green – REDD Alert and the Future of Forests (2012) 28 minutes
Carbon trading is the focus of this film.  REDD, or "reduced emissions from deforestation and forest degradation," is one of the most controversial issues in the climate change debate.  The basic concept is simple: governments, companies or forest owners in the South should be rewarded for keeping their forests instead of cutting them down.  The devil, as always, is in the details.  REDD is a false solution, because it does not reduce greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels.
Movie: The Story of a Forest (2018) 37 minutes In 2004, a group of activists in South Florida stumbled upon a plan from biotech industry giants, supported by the governor's administration, to clear a vast swath of land in the Northeast Everglades to accommodate the Scripps Biotech Research Institute.  The activists launched a 10-year campaign to stop development, during which civil disobedience arrests, lawsuits, scandal, corruption, tree sits, and blockades resulted in both victories and losses.  Their goal: to protect biodiversity in the Briger Forest and the Florida wetlands.

Map: The United States of America, ranked from best to worst

Adriana Belmonte
Associate Editor
Washington is the best state in the nation, while Louisiana and Alabama are the worst, according to a new analysis by U.S. News & World Report.
The American rankings and analysis website factored in health care, education, economy, infrastructure, opportunity, fiscal stability, crime and corrections, and natural environment to create its annual list of the best and worst U.S. states.
With a GDP of $524.323 billion, Washington came out on top. The state’s economy is largely boosted by the aerospace industry and the military and defense sector, which “employs the second-largest number of people in Washington,” according to the report.

The state’s uninsured rate is at 8.8%, well below the national average of 13.8%. The average household income is $70,979, over $10,000 more than the national average.
On the other end of the spectrum, Louisiana has less than half the GDP of Washington. Just 30% of the state’s population has received a college education and job growth sits at -0.2%, below the 1.2% national average. Louisiana’s obesity rate of 36.2% is above the national average and the state has a measly 4% rate of renewable energy usage, starkly below the nation’s standards.
Alabama, the second-worst state, has a median income of just $26,498. The southern state has above-average debt at graduation, uninsured adults, obesity, preventable hospital admissions, poverty, and incarceration.

In terms of overall economy, Colorado and Utah were considered the best states due to their strong business environments, employment numbers, and job growth. West Virginia and Louisiana were at the bottom.
For health care, Hawaii was the best state in the nation, with Massachusetts and Connecticut not far behind. And due to their public health and health care access and quality, Mississippi and Arkansas were ranked as the worst in that category.
When it comes to higher education and pre-K through 12 education, Massachusetts and New Jersey were the best of the best. About 51% of Massachusetts’ population is college-educated, while New Jersey’s 90.1% high school graduation rate is above the national average of 84.1%.

CORRUPTION AT THE FDA AND PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY

This is very important to know, read and pass on. 

The pharmaceutical industry is a far more criminal enterprise than you realize.

Consider the following: 90% of the drug supply is generic. 40% of all drugs are manufactured in India. 80% of all active ingredients in our meds are manufactured outside of the U.S. Fraudulent data is being used to certify drugs with the FDA by foreign manufacturers.

When U.S. inspectors find discrepancies, the FDA works against its own inspectors, under the Trump administration. Drugs are manufactured for the U.S. and Europe under a different standard. 

Countries in Africa and Asia for example, with lax inspection forces are considered ROW or Rest of the World by drug manufacturers.

Glass and metal fragments are being found in these drugs. People are dying in these countries and if you are traveling abroad, you could be exposed to the impurities.
Doctors, investigative reporters and industry experts are demanding congress investigate. 

Contact your congressional representatives and demand an investigation of the FDA and the pharmaceutical industry.

FDA agents are being poisoned when they visit overseas plans and their hotel rooms are being bugged, yet, the FDA takes the side of the overseas industries instead of THEIR OWN AGENTS! See the story of Peter Baker an investigator who was poisoned and threatened for finding impurities in drugs manufactured in India.

FDA inspections are being announced before they take place to give manufacturers time to destroy records and manufacture others. 

Our drugs are constantly being changed (I have noticed this at the VA). To protect ourselves, we must Google FDA warning labels whenever we notice a change in our drugs.

Daniel Hale is a drone whistle blower. Through his reporting, I have learned that the United States government can kill anyone, anywhere at anytime. 

  • How are the decisions being made?
