    I don't think you can go to any CT or alternative news site without finding David Dee. :)

    Here is a recent classic depicting the militarisation of the US street cop.

    David Icke is quite fond of artwork from Neil Hague as it is seen on his signature and of his various promotions.

    The playground bully and spoilt child. :D

    This is a personal artwork designed to highlight public awareness towards "the new world order" and government conspiracies. 2012 - An interesting year to look out for. Grab onto your seats, it will be an interesting time of change.

    Unfortunately, cannot embed these but fans of South Park are probably familiar with these two clips from "Mystery of the Urinal Deuce":

    It's a good thing the missiles have "Israel's nukes" written on them and the star of David.
    Y'know, in case we mightn't quite get the subtle message the artist was trying to convey.
    By labelling everything.

    The talentless ass clown.

    Already been mentioned, David Dees is good. I like his sense of humour, reminds me of Mad magazine; irreverence mixed with incisive social/political comment. I discovered his personal web site recently, well worth a browse.

    Oh, I don't think so.

    I particularly liked a Doonesbury one from back in 1991. It depicted two soldiers in the desert just as the Gulf War was about to start. One was splayed out manning a machine gun, the other was a rather nervous looking ammo belt-feeder.
    The ammo-belt guy whimpered "I only joined the military to get an education." The trigger man responded "Well pay attention, your first history class is about to begin". :pac:

    But the Israeli Mordechai Vanunu was talking about Israeli nukes. Nothing subtle about that.

    I agree, King Mob.

    Pesticides are nutritious and essential for strong bones and teeth.
    I always mix glyphosate in with my hot chocolate for a good nights kip.

    For a relaxing bath, try some carboxiic acid and triazine for delightful tingling on the skin.

    Look and feel sensational.

    There's a difference between a small amount of pesticide on a piece of food (Or more specifically the parts of the plant you aren't going to eat and assuming that for some reason you don't have it washed.) and breathing in a lot of the pesticide when you spend a day spreading it on a field.

    Pretending otherwise is either dishonest or ignorant.
    Much like your silly little strawman there.

    Whenever I boil vegetables like broccoli, I always throw the water away unless it's organic in which case i'll use for a soup.

    I only eat organic spinach because I've felt ill in the past with the other stuff.

    Just an anecdotal story of my own experience but It's not to try convince others.

    If you're happy eating vegetables with pesticides on them, even if it's just residual, no problem.

    Yes this is why I would prefer to buy Organic from a local source than to be buying in Tesco's and the like. Processed pealed carrots are even worse because they are washed in chemicals.

    One would want to be a fool to think this stuff is OK to eat.

    Hate to tell you this Rtdhs, even "organic" food contains scary chemicals.
    And I'm sure you even wash them in chemicals too, like the dreaded dihydrogenmonoxide.

    Again your language betrays either a willingness to scaremonger or that you don't actually understand what you are talking about.

    You're making generalisations here.

    Granted, some supermarkets label food as "organic" but could contain chemicals which are synthetic but I'm not talking about that nor is RTTH I suspect.

    It's perfectly possible to grow vegetables without any kind of petro based chemicals, it just takes more effort.

    For example, a friend of mine uses a wormery to create organic fertilizer and he swears it's far superior than any chemical on the market.

    No, all vegetable have chemicals in them.
    It's what they are made out of.

    And produces less yield for no benefit at all.

    And then I assume that you would have no issue eating a nice big bowl of that or any other organic fertiliser then?

    Depends where you get them, If you go to Tesco, Dunnes Stores, Lidl or Aldi you would be absolutely correct

    If you go to your local farmers Market on a Saturday morning you can get acquainted to home producers. Some even let you inspect their organic farms.

    I know one guy that sells Garlic, Onions and Carrots at a market in Clare, you can tell by the taste and looks that they are not mass produced under a synthetic environment of chemicals and artificial growth.

    Chicken is another topic.

    Most of the chicken that you would eat would be full of toxic chemicals, colouring and brine. (Because you don't seem to be able to differentiate between Organic or not)

    Unraveling food industry lies - Your chicken is full of liquid fillers and chemicals

    Any of those super market processed chicken dinners, fast food, Kentucky fried foetus chicken and Super max chicken dinner meals would not be good for you at all. ,

    And good for them. They are using a less efficient method of farming and charging you more for exactly zero benefit.

    I am referring to mass crop spraying techniques, pestilence and growth enhancing chemicals carried out by commercial growers. :rolleyes:

    Yes you are correct, less efficient and more costly to produce and more expensive to buy but in the long run you make up for this in healthier living and cutting down family doctor bills by not getting sick and not requiring harmful mercury containing vaccinations for your children. :)
