The Most Revolutionary Act

GMO-OMG

Jeremy Seifert (2013)

Film Review

GMO-OMG is an excellent first documentary by a young father on a quest to understand the science of GMO technology and its impact on the environment and human health. The film starts by focusing on the general ignorance of the American public about GMOs. This contrasts markedly with other countries, where popular pressure has led many governments to ban GMOs.

What filmmaker Jeremy Seifert describes, in essence, is the systematic hijacking and poisoning of the US food supply by three companies (DuPont, Monsanto and Syngenta), all without the knowledge of the American people. At present 85% of all corn grown in the US is genetically modified, 91% of all soy and 90% of all beet sugar. In addition, most non-organic meat and dairy products come from animals fed on GMO corn and/or soy.

Seifert first learned about the potential dangers of GMOs due to…

In 1989 my brother Peter Uwe came to visit us. He stayed with us for a few weeks. Unfortunately it rained most of the time while he stayed with us at Oak Flats. Only during our one weeks stay with him at Sussex Inlet we had beautiful sunshine. Looking at this blog about Sussex Inlet brings back memories. Here is the link to the blog about Sussex Inlet in April of 1989:

My, my, my, this was nearly thirty years ago!

Soon after waking up in the morning Caroline, Troy and Ryan go outside to greet a kangaroo.

SIXTY YEARS AGO WE ARRIVED IN AUSTRALIA:

On the 31st of May 1959 Peter and I arrived with the P&O liner “STRAITHAIRD” in Port Melbourne. Six months old Monika and twenty months old Gabriele were with us. We can hardly believe it, that this was sixty years ago!

ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATIONS on the 31st of May 2019:

Celebrations on that sixty year anniversary are coming up! We are going to meet with the whole extended family for these celebrations. We decided we are going to celebrate at this beautiful Holiday Park at Sussex Inlet.

In Berlin on a hot Day

https://berlioz1935.wordpress.com/2017/07/21/in-berlin-on-a-hot-day/

I also reblogged this post from 2017!

This is a post by Berlioz about a memorable day in Berlin in June 2016.

In 2017 Berlioz aka Peter reflects on this memorable day and publishes pictures about our voting at the Australian Embassy in Berlin.

In Berlin on a Hot Day

I very much like this blog by Berlioz.

Berlioz1935's Blog

On our trip to Berlin in June last year, we had the opportunity to vote for the federal election at the Australian Embassy in the centre of Berlin.

In Berlin, you can find statues of the Berlin emblem, the Berlin Bear, everywhere in all different disguises. We even found one inside the embassy.

The Berlin Bear greets little Aussie Lucas at the Australian embassy.

But there was a kangaroo too. It looked a bit on the “dry” side in a Berlin court yard.

In the next picture, you see indeed some Aussies marking the ballot papers. The children thought we went there for a scribble session and Lucas wanted to have a pencil and a piece of paper too. This is election Australian style. The voting papers are not marked in secret nor are there any cabins where you can hide what you…

Last Friday in Berlin in June 2016

Our whole family is sitting here in front of Cafe Re having lunch.

The following pictures are from a river cruise that we did on that day.

A Day with Martin in Berlin in June 2016

DSCN1314 — Rathaus Schöneberg Underground Station is underneath

“Rathaus Schöneberg is a station on the U4 line of the Berlin underground train network. Designed by architect Johann Emil Schaudt, who also built the Bismarck Monument in Hamburg, the station was first opened in 1910 as Stadtpark. From 1940 to 1951 it was closed due to damage sustained during the Second World War.”Wikipedia

DSCN1315 — The Underground Station looks unto the Duck Pond. (Rathaus in the Backgrond!)

The ‘Pusteblume’ Cafe is a bit further on in the Stadtpark. We had some nice lunch there.

We continued by underground train to Märkisches Museum.

“Märkisches Museum is a Berlin U-Bahn station located on the U2 in the Mitte district. Since 1935 it has been named after the nearby Märkisches Museum, the municipal museum of the history of Berlin and the Mark Brandenburg.”Wikipedia

We went along Inselstrasse to this part of the Spree river:

The Coming Fall Of The Super-Rich

Reblogged this on The Most Revolutionary Act and commented:
“Capitalism is now in a crisis that dwarfs all the past destabilizing events that have threatened to end it, including the Great Depression. One sign of this crisis is the fact that capitalism has become more destructive to the livelihoods of most people than it’s been in decades, and has in the process become very unstable. In America alone, half the people are either in or near poverty, 80% of workers live paycheck to paycheck, and 80% overall are in debt.”

This is what Dr. Bramhall wrote on her reblog. I said to reblog it, yes that is what I want to do!

Factbox: U.S. sanctions on Venezuela’s oil industry

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/factbox-u-sanctions-venezuelas-oil-industry-173417009–finance.html

This is what is said under “Specific Sanctions”:

“The U.S. Treasury Department’s sanctions do not entirely cut off purchases of Venezuelan oil by U.S. refineries. However, they stipulate that refiners cannot make payments directly to PDVSA, but into escrow accounts that PDVSA will not get access to until the company is controlled by a new government.”

When it comes to business, all the so called ‘democratic’ countries go along with Ameicas’s ideas of wanting to control another country’s government. How is this democratic?
