POPSYes to Proposition 2 Warning! Some of the footage on the available videos has some distressful images. But until you see the truth of what goes on in these factories, how these animals are treated and the negative impact all of this has on our own well being, you can not make the needed, educated choices to stop contributing to this insanity. I beg you please add your voice. Thank you for taking the time to consider this clip.

POPSJewish Holiday Holds Up Congress During Financial Crisis Why? Isn't this an "establishment of religion"? This gives some historical background. Apparently this is something fairly new! Is Judaism America's official religion? They have no trouble calling sessions on Sundays. They certainly don't observe any Islamic holidays, or Buddhist holidays, or ....etc.., not that they should. (Christmas used to not be observed by Congress, and is actually a pagan holiday that was "Christianized" by Constantine to unite the Roman Empire). Where is the ACLU on this one? Yom Kippur will be in October as well. It's fair to ask and question the constitutionality of this as it smacks of official endorsement. Methinks AIPAC holds this over Congress who are afraid to resist. As Orwell said, "some are more equal than others" (Animal Farm). The Fed chairman Bernanke is Jewish , who ironically has been the very one stressing the urgency of Congress acting immediately.

POPSDeja vu in Viet Nam once again - Bird flu strikes again They have been trying culling, shots and all the classical ways of controlling a disease and it's not working - why? Because they need to think outside of the box and find ways to get farmers to help end pandemic scourge in a new way - turning bird droppings into methane gas by "cooking" it and at same time kill bird flu and potential human flu.

POPS(Sad Update) Black Fox Found Dead Kevin Hehir, 48, from Ribbleton in Preston, spotted the animal on September 8 while he was out walking and managed to take pictures and record footage. He said: "What a shame. At the time it looked weary and like it was on its last legs. I'm pleased that I managed to get a picture of it." Like other black animals, the black fox is said to be linked to doom and disaster and the sighting provoked much reaction from readers. However, the farmer added: "Far from being unlucky for me, it brought the sunshine and dry weather for the harvest." Black foxes can often be seen in Europe and North America but are not thought to be native to the UK. David Dunlop, Lancashire Wildlife Trust conservation officer, said: "I imagine it's probably the same one because it's very rare. "I'm assuming it had been ill like a lot of animals in the wild." >> Black fox spotted for first time (with video)

POPSFarmers group objects to livestock tagging on religious grounds The suit (.pdf) mentions various verses from the Book of Revelation. "He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name."

POPSChange We Can Believe In At last it came time to bake the bread. 'Who will help me bake the bread?', asked the little red hen. 'That would be overtime for me' said the cow. 'I'd lose my welfare benefits,' said the duck. 'I'm a dropout and never learned how,' said the pig. 'If I'm to be the only helper, that's discrimination, ' said the goose. 'Then I will do it by myself,' said the little red hen. She baked five loaves and held them up for all of her neighbors to see. They wanted some and in fact, demanded a share. But the little red hen said, 'No, I shall eat all five loaves.' 'Excess profits!' cried the cow. (Nancy Pelosi) 'Capitalist leech!' screamed the duck. (Barbara Boxer) 'I demand equal rights!' yelled the goose. (Jesse Jackson) The pig just grunted in disdain. (Ted Kennedy)

POPSAnimal rights: A farm boy reflects Anyone who knows animals, knows that they have individual personalities, often more interesting and more ethical than human personalities. By what right, do we make them suffer before killing them for our own benefit?

POPSPill Popping Pets
"One thought had haunted me as I listened to the Bridges’ story: If I were locked inside the bathroom all day, I’d swallow the shampoo, too. Although most animal-behavior problems are believed to have genetic roots, their expressions are typically triggered by the unnatural lives that people force their pets to lead. “A dog that lived on a farm and ran around chasing rabbits all day would be more prone to being stable than a dog living in an apartment in Manhattan,” Dodman says. Undomesticated canids, neither confined nor excessively attached to people, don’t suffer from separation anxiety. Some captive horses endlessly circle their stalls or corrals — a compulsive behavior similar to Max’s tail chasing — but such purposeless repetitions have never been observed in the wild. Dodman’s theory, essentially, is that the causes of mood disorders and obsessions in humans and our pets aren’t so different — faulty genetics, dreary environments. Whether cubicle- or cage-bound, we get too lit

POPSWe Need to Protect More Land, Not Less There are few better investments of taxpayer dollars than the land reserve project, which has protected millions of acres of sensitive lands nationwide and significantly reduced soil erosion, all the while costing taxpayers about one tenth as much as traditional farm subsidies. And unlike most farm subsidies — which concentrate wealth in the hands of the wealthy — this program spreads the money around and creates more economic value than it costs.

POPS Tremendous Range Of Unintended Consequences
On the losing side of the equation have been cattle, hog and chicken producers, as well as consumers. The government’s latest projection, released Friday, is that food prices this year will rise as much as 5.5 percent. Some products, including cereals and eggs, are expected to rise about 10 percent. The idea of easing ethanol mandates, while it would also lower the price of corn, is contentious. Keith Collins, the former Agriculture Department chief economist, will release a study on Monday saying that as much as half of the sharp increase in corn prices over the last few years is due to the demands of ethanol production. “We’ve seen a tremendous range of unintended consequences” from the requirement that increasing amounts of ethanol be blended into gasoline. The White House will be forced to confront the ethanol issue next month. States are allowed to asked for waivers of the mandate for corn ethanol on the ground that it is harming the economy or the environment.

POPSBringing Dangerous Animal Virus To U.S. Mainland? Foot-and-mouth virus can be carried on a worker's breath or clothes, or vehicles leaving a lab, and is so contagious it has been confined to Plum Island, N.Y., for more than a half-century — far from commercial livestock. The existing lab is 100 miles northeast of New York City in the Long Island Sound, accessible only by ferry or helicopter. Researchers there who work with the live virus are not permitted to own animals at home that would be susceptible, and they must wait at least a week before attending outside events where such animals might perform, such as a circus. An epidemic in 2001 devastated Britain's livestock industry, as the government slaughtered 6 million sheep, cows and pigs. Last year, in a less serious outbreak, Britain's health and safety agency concluded the virus probably escaped from a site shared by a government research center and a vaccine maker. Other outbreaks have occurred in Taiwan in 1997 and China last year and in 2006.

POPSINFRAGARD: FBI Deputizes Business for Martial Law Including "shoot to kill" during Martial Law. This is a direct copy of the KGB-citizen-business spy network, now in Amerika. Doing this increases both paranoia and super-patriot fantasy that is quick to mark people or groups as suspicious, especially dissenters of various sorts. Deputizing big business in particular means that "some are more equal than others" (Orwell, Animal Farm). "Membership has its privileges". "Protect the Homeland". Sieg Heil!
