Are you eating organic? After this podcast, you will be. Please tune into this episode if you don't understand GMOs (genetically modified organisms.) Your long-term health is being jeopardized by these GMO lab experiments in the food supply, along with a chemical called glyphosate that Big Agro uses in a high percentage of our staple foods. Some foods include corn, wheat, oats, beans, fruits, veggies, meat, fish, and poultry. If you already know a bit of what GMOs are and why you should avoid them – that's fantastic. However, behind the scenes in laboratories across the U.S., what's taking place is downright scary. Gene modifications in agriculture are serious business for Big Agro and the consumers who eat these Frankenstein creations. For those who eat the wrong foods, GMOs and the glyphosate herbicide are wreaking havoc on the microbiome, opening doors to various diseases. This interview is a wake-up call to the seriousness of the situation and how close humanity is to become a distant memory from a cataclysmic GMO nightmare. No – this is not hyperbole. But take heart – in this interview with leading GMO spokesperson Jeffrey Smith, you will walk away empowered with knowledge that equips you to make positive changes for your health while also opening your eyes to the battle at hand between Big Agro and consumers. Jeffrey Smith keeps issuing his clarion call to consumers to take action -for the sake of humanity – by avoiding GMOs and glyphosate in their food. It's time to take your passion for organic food to a higher level. You will discover what to do with this thorough information. Not one to sit on knowledge and keep it under wraps – Jeffrey is the author of 2 global bestsellers, director of five films, done 1000 interviews and 1000 lectures in 45 countries, trained 1500 speakers, and organized over 10,000 grassroots advocates for organic, non-GMO foods. Jeffrey leads the global Protect Nature Now coalition, urging governments to stop releasing genetically engineered microbes into our environment. Because it only takes one irreversible gene-editing experiment to create global health or environmental catastrophe. In This Podcast, We Cover: The threat of genetically engineered microbes (GEMs) What glyphosate is and how it ends up in your body Why food production and distribution is critical to your health How the world came within two weeks of a GMO catastrophe How Jeffrey became a leading voice in consumer activism  The role a corporation called Monsanto plays in all this What GMOs and glyphosate do to your microbiome How your food can affect your DNA expression What whistleblowers in Big Agro are revealing  Much more!

Scripture For Today: Lamentations 3:8“Even when I cry out or call for help, he shuts out my prayer!”Pray with All Kinds of Prayer pt 5We have been studying about “Prayer that changes THINGS.” We have been looking at the  four sub-category of prayers under “Prayer that changes things.” Yesterday, we looked at “The Prayer of Petition and Supplication.”  Today, I want to discuss the “Prayer of Dedication and Worship.” Jesus prayed a prayer of dedication in Luke 22:42. He said, “Faither, if you be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless, not my will, but your will be done.” Jesus never prayed, “IF it be Thy will, Father…” when He was praying for people to be healed. You cannot find one instance where He prayed that way.  He never “asked God” if it was His will to heal anyone. He did not ask God if it was His will to quiet the raging seas. WHY? Because He knew it was God's Will to destroy the works of the devil everywhere He went! And God's PERFECT WILL was expressed in and through Jesus Himself! Amen! The prayer of dedication for a believer concerns God's will or plan for their life. You must seek the will of God and be open to receiving the answer. Pray in faith and receive in faith. The prayer of dedication IS NOT a “rededication of your life” to the Lord. NO!  It is yielding yourself to God. Yielding does not mean “surrender.”  It does not mean to “surrender under pressure” when the devil brings some negative circumstances into your life and you're trying to  “Get God” to do something! The ONLY time you are to surrender is to Jesus when you first make Him Lord and Savior of your life. Amen! Your spirit man dies and is then recreated in the image of Jesus Himself. You become ONE with His Spirit. Amen! He the resides on the inside of you. Yield yourself to the Lord. “Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time: casting ALL your cares upon Him; for HE cares for YOU!” Amen! Cast your cares of this world over on Him. He can handle it, believe me. As you humble yourself before Him, you are exalting the Word above whatever the situation is you are facing! That is what Jesus did in the Garden. Amen! As a result, the Word of God, the Will of God, prevailed in the Garden and at the Cross and after the Cross and after the Resurrection – and it continues to prevail unto this day! Amen!  And it will prevail in your life when you do the same thing. Humble yourself to His will and claim the victory in Jesus! Amen! There is another area of dedication as well. It involves putting on the Armor of God. The Word says the breastplate you wear is the Righteousness of Jesus. Jesus – who knew no sin – was MADE SIN to you could be made the righteousness of God in Him. Receive this and dedicate yourself to believing it – you will win every single time! Amen! Let's Pray!

Scripture For Today:Luke 20:47“They devour widows' houses and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will be punished most severely.”Pray with All Kinds of Prayer pt 4We have been studying about “Prayer that changes THINGS.” Yesterday, we looked at the first of four sub-category of prayers under “Prayer that changes things,” which was “The prayer of Binding and Loosing.” Today, I want to share with you the “Prayer of Petition and Supplication.”  Again, the scripture that immediately comes to my mind is 1 John 5:14-15. You've heard me teach on this over and over this year. “And this is the confidence we have in Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know He hears us, whatsoever we ask, WE KNOW that we receive the petitions that we desired of Him.” Notice this does not say, “Well, you never know what God is going to do…”  It does not say, “Well, sometimes He does and sometimes He doesn't…” It does not say, “God knows what you need and what you don't…” NO.  It says, - “WE KNOW that WE RECEIVE…”  Receive what? “…the PETITIONS we ask of HIM!” Prayer is simply believing God. That is the reason you must ask in faith, not doubting. Only faith filled prayers will move God and change THINGS.  Remember, we are talking about “Prayer that Changes Things.” Amen! The Apostle Paul said, in Philippians 4:6, “Be careful for nothing, but in every thing, by prayer and supplication, WITH THANKSGIVING, let your requests be made known to God.”  What he is telling us is we are not to fret, worry or be anxious over anything. Whatever it is we need, just bring the request to God. But don't stop there.  It says “with THANKSGIVING.”   That means to praise Him for the answer before you even see it, sense it or experience it. Not after. BEFORE.  Why before?  Because the Word of God says we RECEIVE our prayers as answered WHEN we pray. Amen! Now, as you've heard me explain before, you need to base your prayers on God's Word. If you find it in God's Word where He answered someone's prayer that is similar to what you need, you can lift that scripture to Him as part of your prayer of petition.  It is like a lawyer preparing for a case. You want to bring prior cases that have established precedent in the law. Situations that have already been ruled on. Why? Because the courts are supposed to be impartial. They are to treat everyone equally under the law.  The law applies to everyone equally. Amen. God's Word is the same way. God is not a respecter of persons. What He has done for one, He will do for another. What He has done for another He will do for YOU. Amen! A petition is simply making a formal request. A supplication is making an impassioned plea. So go to the Word and write out your petition and then, in prayer, read it to God and make supplication before Him to grant your petition.  His Word says, “…you shall have the petition you desire of Him.”  Amen! Let's Pray!

Hey, I learned something today. The Lord is a God of COMFORT.  Who knew?  Apparently not me.  And, it is OLD news. He's been in the comfort business a long time and will be in the future.  And I am supposed to be a participant as well as a recipient of this comforting.  Comfort is part of God's CHARACTER.  It is in His DNA.  Comforting the spiritually and relationally grieving is right up His alley.  Comforting is often DELIVERED by people.  Wait, I am one of those.  I wonder if He might have a job of comfort for me in the next 2 hours.  Probably yes.  Comfort is in the Hall-of-fame-ONE-ANOTHERs.  Who knew?  Comfort one another.  Who is the best COMFORTER you know?  Praise that person.Who near you needs TO BE COMFORTED?  Pursue that person.What might you seek to be comforted about?  Petition the Source of all comfort.And subscribe, and share this word of comfort. bewithme.us

Scripture For Today:Matthew 11:17“And as he taught them, he said, “Is it not written: “My house will be called a  house of prayer for all nations?”  But you have made it a den of robbers.”Pray with All Kinds of Prayer pt 1There are basically three different kinds of prayers you can pray that are found in the New Testament.  They are: “Prayer that changes THINGS.” Plus “Prayer of Thanksgiving” and no, it is not just to be used on Thanksgiving Day. And the “Prayer of Dedication and Worship.” There are also a few categories that would be listed under those three major types of prayer. For example, under “Prayer that Changes Things,” there are four major prayers. They are the “Prayer of Agreement.” The “Prayer of Binding and Loosing.” “The Prayer of Petition.” And then the “Prayer of Intercession.” Prayer that changes things is not a prayer that changes God. No way. God is the same yesterday, today and forever. Amen!   His Word is established FOREVER.  All we need to do is find out what His Word says – and believe it. Then pray the prayer of faith based ONLY on His Word. You've heard me teach on this all year long. I cannot emphasize enough the importance of finding out what the Word of God says concerning a situation and then using the Word to fight the battle. Amen! This will give you the confidence when you apply your faith to what you have prayed, as long as it is in line with God's Word, to HAVE the thing you desired.  You can study it out for yourself in Mark 11:22-24. Amen! Folks, God is on your side. He is for you – not against you. It is the devil that is against you. He is against everything you stand for. But God is ON your side. Amen! Everything God has done is to free you from the bondage of Satan.  But it is up to you to take that freedom and do something with it. And the most important thing you can do is pray accurately as you speak the Word of God in Faith! Amen! You can have confidence when you pray. 1 John 5:14-15 clearly state this for our benefit: “This is the confidence we have in Him. That if we pray according to His Word, He hears us. And if He hears us, we can know that we receive the petitions that we desire of Him.” Amen! It doesn't get any better than that! Amen! Let's Pray!

Sec. 13: Amendment to Short Title of Public Law 115-335 Renames the "Nicaraguan Human Rights and Anticorruption Act of 2018" the "Nicaragua Investment and Conditionality Act of 2018" or "NICA Act" H.R. 1918: Nicaragua Human Rights and Anticorruption Act of 2018 Signed into law on December 20, 2018 Sponsor: Representative Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL) Law Outline Sec. 2: Sense of Congress on Advancing a Negotiated Solution to Nicaragua's Crisis Congress wanted the Catholic Church of Nicaragua to negotiate for early elections on behalf of "civil society", the student movement, private sector, and the "political opposition" Congress did like that the Government of Nicaragua was refusing to negotiate Sec. 4: Restrictions on International Financial Institutions Relating to Nicaragua Forces the Treasury Secretary to instruct our representatives at the World Bank Group and Inter-American Development Bank to oppose "any loan or financial or technical assistance to the Government of Nicaragua for a project in Nicaragua."

Audio Sources Kawsachun News - Nicaragua 2021 Election Observer Press Conference November 10, 2021 Moderator: I present Paul Pumphrey from Friends of the Congo. Paul Pumphrey: Here in Nicaragua, I saw a free and fair election. I talked to many people who were not a part of the Sandinistas party. And yet they themselves said they were willing to accept whatever result happened in the election. Moderator: Next we have Craig Pasta Jardula who is a journalist based in the United States. Craig Pasta Jardula: Mainly, I want to talk about the process, meaning the chain of custody, because that's something that we really saw that was great here in Nicaragua, it made this election a home run. The chain of custody is very strong here, including the fact that in Nicaragua, we have something that is awesome that a lot of countries need to adopt, which is where the vote is cast, it is counted, that ensures a strong chain of custody. Moderator: Next is Rick Cohn from Friends of Latin America. 13:05 Rick Cohn: I want to speak just a little bit though a group of 11 of us went to Bilwi on the Caribbean coast. And in the United States, one of the things they'll use to say this election is fake, is that a high percentage of people voted, and a high percentage of people voted for the FSLN. And that can't happen, because American politicians that would never happen. Well, so I want to say something about why the voters told us they were voting. They told us that basically, they had two Category Four and Category Five hurricanes last year, and the government came and saved their lives, saved many, many lives. And, you know, people have trust in that government. And then the government came in and made sure the electric was up. In Puerto Rico from a year earlier, electric still isn't isn't working, because they, you know, are making money selling electric, but it still doesn't work. They told us they had new roofs put on almost immediately they were delivered. They told us that the schools were rebuilt. All of the schools were in good condition. Oh, the schools and some of them have new buildings. So we had a situation where they were very happy with the performance of the government. And that is why -- oh, they also told us they had one kilometer of road before the FSLN came into power from the neoliberal period, now they have 500 kilometers. And with 70 more kilometers, they'll be able to drive from all the way to Managua, which they've never been able to do in history. So they told us these things. And the FSLN party received the highest percentage of votes, but that's not strange, because they really support the government. They received 86.7% of the vote. You know, there's no way that's made up - it's not fake. It's where they're at. It is certainly the biggest deficiency in democracy in Nicaragua is the interference that there is so much interference from the US government and the media, and the censorship and the lies that they tell. That's the interference that's occurring in this election. 33:52 Rick Cohn: Corporate media like Facebook, well, all of the corporate media including Facebook and Twitter, but social media, are actually just part of the US system and they're contracted to provide information back and forth, they're actually an aspect of the government and they close 1000s of people's accounts, who are people, and I met some of them, they're actual people, and they close their accounts. And they weren't, you know, anyone who was saying anything other than the fact that they may have been supporting the Nicaraguan people or opposed to the the sanctions on Nicaragua. AN INTERNATIONAL RESPONSE TO ORTEGA'S DESTRUCTION OF DEMOCRACY IN NICARAGUA September 21, 2021 House Committee on Foreign Affairs, Subcommittee on the Western Hemisphere, Civilian Security, Migration and International Economic Policy *Hearing not on C-SPAN Witnesses: Emily Mendrala Deputy Assistant Secretary of State at the Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs Laure Chinchilla Former President of Costa Rica Co-Chair at The Inter-American Dialogue Ryan Berg, PhD Senior Fellow in the Americas Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) Oct. 2018 - Apr. 2021: Research Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute Apr. 2018 - Oct. 2018: Research Consultant at The World Bank July 2014 - Oct 2014: US State Department negotiator at the Organization of American States (OAS) 2009: Intern for Paul Ryan Berta Valle Wife of Felix Maradiaga Rep. Albio Sires (D-NJ): The regime has rounded up nearly every potential challenger to Ortega and has not even tried to hide these arrests and forced disappearances under the veneer of legality. 05:42 Rep. Albio Sires (D-NJ): Having written the NICA Act with Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL), I am frustrated that the International Monetary Fund recently provided $350 million to the regime. The IMF should not take Ortega's us word for it that these funds will be used to address the COVID pandemic. 06:53 Rep. Albio Sires (D-NJ): We should also begin preparing a number of severe diplomatic consequences, assuming Nicaragua's election in November becomes a coronation for Ortega. Nicaragua should be suspended under the International Democratic Charter on November 8, and its participation under the Central America Free Trade Agreement should be reconsidered. 10:39 Rep. Mark Green (R-TN): On November 7 a political farce will be held, claiming to resemble elections. No one should be fooled about the outcome -- any hope of unseating the socialist dictatorship is sitting inside of Ortega's prisons. 13:56 *Emily Mendrala: As you are well aware, the Ortega-Murillo government has carried out a ruthless crackdown over the past several months, canceling the registration of opposition parties, incarcerating journalists, opposition leaders, potential presidential candidates, students, private sector leaders and others who defend free and fair elections, attacking the free press, closing long standing NGOs that provide humanitarian and medical assistance to Nicaraguans in need. 15:06 Emily Mendrala: In the face of sham elections in Nicaragua, we and our international partners must continue to denounce and push back against the Ortega-Murillo government's anti-democratic rule as well as its use of Russian-inspired laws to carry out repression. 17:56 Emily Mendrala: Through USAID we continue to support Nicaraguan civil society, independent media and human rights defenders. Our continued support assures Nicaraguans that the outside world has not forgotten them. 19:06 Rep. Albio Sires (D-NJ): Are we using our voice? Is the administration using its voice and vote with international financial institution to oppose loans and other financial assistance to Ortega? Because I have to tell you, it's very upsetting to me that we do all this work here. We asked the administration to put sanctions on different people. And yet the IMF, which we probably contribute the largest amount of money, or if not, one of the largest amounts of money, they seem to just ignore what's going on in Nicaragua. And it has to -- I intend to write a letter to the IMF. And hopefully we'll have them before this committee, because this is not acceptable. 20:22 Emily Mendrala: We are using our voice and our vote and every opportunity in front of multilateral institutions to oppose lending to the Ortega-Murillo government. We will continue to use our voice, vote and influence to advocate against lending from international financial institutions to the Ortega-Murillo government and we will also continue to collaborate with international partners where appropriate: EU, Canada and others to do the same. 30:43 Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-TX): The upcoming November 7 elections will be neither free nor fair 1:04:30 Berta Valle: Even though Félix [Maradiaga] has dedicated his life to serving our country, the regime has charged him and others with a conspiracy to undermine national integrity. The government is alleging that Félix and others were part of a global conspiracy to use foreign resources, including from the US Agency for International Development, the International Republican Institute and the National Endowment for Democracy to harm the interests of the nation. 1:16:33 Ryan Berg: As well as November 7, I think we need to declare Nicaragua's elections illegitimate under current conditions. 1:27:16 Ryan Berg: Thank you, Congressman Green, for the question. Yes, the two countries that I would point out as extra-hemispheric actors who have have come into the hemisphere to shore up the Ortega regime are Russia and Iran. Russia, we've seen with a significant presence in Nicaragua for a while. Its increased its presence in past years, to an extent that I think should be very alarming for the US government. Not only does it have a number of port agreements with Nicaragua, and access to the Caribbean, where it can engage in anti access and area denial capabilities, potentially. But also in cyberspace. We saw recently the Russians and Nicaraguans sign a major agreement in the cyberspace, particularly to help the regime not only increase its domestic security apparatus, but to spy potentially on the opposition on our own citizens, and indeed, potentially on on other governments in Central America, depending upon the strength of the equipment transfers that we'll see in future. So they have a whole number or whole range of capabilities that they are developing within Nicaragua, that there are signals intelligence stations that are actually quite close to the US Embassy in Managua. And so that's that's Russia, Russia has an interest in shoring up this regime on the cheap. And I think Iran has approached the regime in a number of ways, most specifically, in offering partnerships to circumvent US sanctions architecture, in which it excels, because of the sanctions architecture that it has been under for so long. And we haven't seen as deep I would say, as a presence of the Iranians in Nicaragua, but it's it's there and it's also concerning. I think, in general, Congressman, part of the Ortega regime's plan for survival is to sort of recreate a situation of rivalry and enmity in Central America again, and lend a platform for major geopolitical competitors to the United States to increase their capabilities on the US doorstep and I think that's a significant aspect of this political, economic and social crisis here. 1:35:50 Rep. Albio Sires (D-NJ): If the Ortega regime moves ahead was stealing this November's elections the international community must come together to impose a very steep price. John Bolton: Miami Dade College's National Historic Landmark Freedom Tower November 1, 2018 John Bolton: The "Troika of Tyranny" in this hemisphere -- Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua -- has finally met its match. John Bolton: Today in this hemisphere we are also confronted once again, with the destructive forces of oppression, socialism and totalitarianism. In Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua, we see the perils of poisonous ideologies left unchecked. Nicaraguan President Speech at the United Nations General Assembly September 25, 2007 16:50 President Daniel Ortega: The General Assembly is simply a reflection of this world where a capitalist and imperialist minority is imposing global capitalism to impoverish the world continue to enslave us all and promote apartheid against Latin American immigrants and against African immigrants in Europe. This global capitalism is one beast and it has tentacles everywhere. 25:30 President Daniel Ortega: They have to understand once and for all, that just as they have managed to profit from privatizations that have given rise to these huge multi-nationals that then set up in developing countries, they say that they are helping us. No business person provides assistance, they simply go to earn as much money as they can, they don't go to invest. Developing countries are considered to be insecure countries, and we are simply being ransacked. If we compare the volume of riches that they're extracting from our countries -- the capitalists in developed countries I'm talking about -- through their major companies, the globalized multinationals. If we can compare that wealth with what the Latin American immigrants send back to their families from the U.S. or the Asian and African families in Europe send back to their families, it is a miserable amount compared to the volume of wealth that is extracted on a daily basis by these forms of institutionalized oppression. 28:30 President Daniel Ortega: These companies are simply using cheap labor. They are benefiting from clauses in free trade agreements. I've got us free trade, why not? Free trade for societies and nations. But clearly in that system, it's the law of the jungle the strongest will impose themselves on the rest. What well the world needs is fair trade. What the world demands is really a genuine change in the capitalist, globalized, imperialist economies, that is where we need to have a change. They have to change this concept that they have of a free market. They have to change the slant of these free trade agreements. Nicaraguan Presidential Address to Congress April 16, 1991 20:00 President Violetta Chamorro: My government is committed to radically reducing government intervention in the economy and the enormous bureaucratic apparatus that we have inherited. Our Congress approved a law that authorizes private banks to operate and encourages foreign investments and is studying the privatization law in order to convert government to businesses. We are rapidly advancing towards the establishment of a social market economy. Restrictions on prices and salaries must be lifted. Likewise, we have initiated a serious economic stabilization program accompanied by the corresponding tax reforms in order to discipline and improve and decrease public spending to encourage domestic production and to stimulate private domestic and foreign investment.

In May 2021, a container ship called the X-Press Pearl caught fire and sank off the coast of Sri Lanka spilling large amounts of toxic chemicals in the form of fuel and a high concentration of microplastic pellets, called nurdles.  These nurdles can wreak havoc on ocean habitats as they are made from fossil fuel chemicals and break down once in the water. The nurdles are ingested by sea turtles, marine mammals, seabirds, and fish where they can cause choking and/or leech chemicals into the animals' bodies. The spill of nurdles has also caused 20,000 fishers to stop fishing in Sri Lanka.  The X-Press Pearl spill is a current example that nurdles need to be classified as hazardous materials. Unfortunately, the International Maritime Organization put off addressing the issue until next year opening the way for more spills to occur over the next year.  Over 230,000 tons of nurdles enter the ocean every year.  Link to article: https://grist.org/health/nurdles-the-worst-toxic-waste-youve-probably-never-heard-of/ Join the Plastic Pollution Coalition: https://www.plasticpollutioncoalition.org/the-coalition/ Petition against nurdles: https://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/982/791/665/ Connect with Speak Up For Blue: Website: https://www.speakupforblue.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/speakupforblue/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/speakupforblue
