China Rejects Fifth US Corn Cargo In A Month, Citing GMO Strain – 12 December 2013

China has blocked a fifth cargo of US corn since mid-November after testing found a strain of genetically-modified (GMO) corn not yet approved for import. Three more cargoes may also be refused.

A cargo of 59,100 tons was turned away on Tuesday in the eastern Chinese province of Zhejiang after quarantine officials found MIR 162 — an insect-resistant GMO strain which the country’s agriculture ministry has yet to warrant, Reuters cited an official as saying.

China, the world’s second largest corn consumer, has refused 180,000 tons of grain since mid-November. Observers believe it has less to do with the corn and more to do with other trade quarrels between the two countries.

“It is really causing big trouble and it seems to be related to bilateral trade conflicts,” a domestic corn trader told Reuters.

In November, China fought US accusations that it was blocking a World Trade Organization technology deal that would cut tariffs on products. US Trade Representative Michael Froman said later that month that China’s demand to exempt over 100 products from the deal risked breaking negotiations.

I first noticed this video posted somewhere a few weeks ago right before I began an afternoon of back-to-back sessions. Although I planned to watch it afterwards, life intervened with other things to do, and I eventually forgot about. Many thanks to Mitch for bringing this beautiful project back on my radar when I do have time to post it myself.

~ Selacia ~ Wise Use Of December Energies – 5 Questions For Self-Reflection

Eddie1177's picture

December is a perfect time to take stock of where you are and consider what you want to create next year.

Your understanding of December’s energies can help you make the most of this taking stock and planning. After all, each time cycle has its own energies. To be optimally resourced, you want to become mindful of this month’s opportunities and potential roadblocks.

The ancients knew about the power of self-reflection and inner contemplation this time of year. They had a deep understanding of the need to connect and work with the Earth’s natural cycles. They appreciated the value of taking a time-out before the close of a year to slow down and go on input from spirit.

Inviting input from spirit is something you want to do regularly, of course. At year-end, though, you benefit from expanding your contemplations to encompass deeper levels of questioning and deeper levels of listening.

You cannot listen deeply when your mind is busy and occupied with other things. Spirit is always there, right by your side – but this time of year you want your connection to go deeper. To accomplish this involves finding moments of quiet when you can turn off the noise and chaos of the world. Find as many of those moments you can in December – you will be happy you did when you begin 2014!

~ Jennifer Hoffman ~ Q&A: 12-12-12 One Year Later — What Happened?

Eddie1177's picture

Here we are, one year after the date which was supposed to be the most important date ever and nothing happened. But is that really true? Is it possible that a lot happened that we could not see or feel from a physical perspective, but it was much more than that and in fact, it was everything we hoped it would be and more? One of the aspects of our expanding awareness is what we have to be willing to accept and acknowledge as experience, and it goes way beyond what we use our five senses for.

A lot happened on December 12, 2012 and in the year after it, but it was not quite what we expected. We hoped, at some level, that we would see the spaceships or some heavenly or divine intervention descending from on high to save the world or at least to punish the ‘bad guys’ and show them that we mean business when we talk about changing the world paradigm and creating the new earth. But that didn’t happen, at least we didn’t see those results but that’s because we need to change how we see and what we look for.

Our physical senses are limited to the experience of the world from a 3D perspective but we are now becoming 5D and beyond beings, and will interact with the world in a much different way. We need to stop thinking that ‘seeing is believing’ because within the context of our physical body, what we can see is highly subject to interpretation and very limited. We can see only what our brains allow us to see, and that includes everything we are not  ‘supposed to be able to see’, like spirits, ghosts, other dimensions, parallel realities and universes, light and time bending, and extra-terrestrial and extra-dimensional realities and beings.

The Creator Writings - Easy Or…. ?

The Creator Writings

The Universe will always offer, and provide you with, information that you can easily understand within your particular paradigm. You may be guided to deeper, more esoteric thoughts and that is okay. But, do not be so consumed with the ego-driven ideas of esoteric thinking that you miss the fun, simple and easy answers that are readily available to you every day. ~ Creator

Remarkable video shows cops in display of solidarity with fellow countrymen.According to EuroNews, Thousands of farmers, lorry drivers, pensioners and unemployed people have taken to the streets in Italy as part of a series of protests against the government and the European Union.Demonstrators stopped train services by walking on the tracks while striking lorry drivers disrupted traffic by driving slowly and blocking roads.A remarkable video shows Italian riot police removing their helmets in solidarity with anti-EU demonstrators in Turin who are protesting against the state of the economy, the single currency and fuel prices.
 
The question remains, will the heavily militarized police in the United States do the same when the time comes? Or will they continue to “Bash some f****** heads”?
