^^^ DMT I hear the belly full of bad berries bus is available.

Nwo2 there are a great many serious issues that a number of us have been aware of for many years. Like you we have been concerned that the general populace has not been as concerned as we were. But making overly broad and sweeping statements about people you really do not know on an issue you are clearly deeply concerned about does not advance the issue or your concern. Instead of accusing everyone of sheepishly lining up for implantation why not offer suggestions for avoiding that horrible fate?

"Nwo2 why does my opinion of your crusade matter so much to you?"

I guess because you, and most people I share this info. with, refuse to even consider said info. is today a reality.

But if you read my first response to you this you would at least acknowledge the fundamental error in your statement.

Now back to the thread.

Are the closed WalMarts being retro fitted for chip implantations?

all while they merrily plug away on the technology that is dooming us

Completely 100% wrong.

Humanity can either destroy or enliven and not the technology.

When we misuse our technology then we have problems.

The root is humanity (us) and never the technology .......

Don't presume to fix anything for me NWO2, it only shows your arrogance.

Life's been great, and only getting better.
Now, if I could only learn to use my feet more when climbing...

If your life is so great and only getting better what's all the sniveling about?

Sounds like learning to use your feet while climbing would be a more productive use of your time. Try taking one out of your mouth.

Y'all should be more worried about stuff like this, that is if you like to eat.

U.S. honeybee losses soar over last year, USDA finds

By Carey Gillam

May 13 (Reuters) - Honey bees, critical agents in the pollination of key U.S. crops, disappeared at a staggering rate over the last year, according to a new government report that comes as regulators, environmentalists and agribusinesses try to reverse the decline.

Losses of managed honey bee colonies hit 42.1 percent from April 2014 through April 2015, up from 34.2 percent for 2013-2014, and the second-highest annual loss to date, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said in a report issued on Wednesday.

"Such high colony losses in the summer and year-round remain very troubling," Jeff Pettis, a USDA senior entomologist, said in a statement.

The results are based on survey responses from about 6,100 beekeepers managing about 400,000 colonies, or roughly 15.5 percent of U.S. bee colonies.

The 2014-15 decline was down from the 45 percent fall in 2012-2013 but well above the other three years of annual measurements and well above the 18.7 percent benchmark considered economically unsustainable, the USDA said.

Honey bees are needed to pollinate plants that produce a quarter of the food consumed by Americans. Beekeepers travel the country with managed hives to help the process.

Over the past few years, bees have been dying at a rate the U.S. government says must be addressed, and the issue has become politically charged.

Beekeepers, environmental groups and some scientists blame a class of insecticide known as neonicotinoids, or neonics, used on crops such as corn as well as on plants used in lawns and gardens. Some lawn and garden retailers have cut the use of neonics.

Bayer, Syngenta and others that sell neonic products say mite infestations and other factors are the cause.

A subcommittee of the U.S. House Committee on Agriculture is holding a hearing on Wednesday, and the White House has formed a task force to study the issue. The Environmental Protection Agency is requiring a series of studies on neonic effects on bees and plans to release the first in a series of assessments later this year.

Pettis said on Wednesday that the high summer losses weakened the argument that mites are behind the large losses as the mites are most active in winter. He said pesticide exposure was likely at least one factor.

"The bees should be surviving better, but the numbers say otherwise," he said.

This is the first time the USDA has released information about summer month bee losses, though it has gathered the information since 2010-2011.

The 2014-2015 season was the first that summer losses exceeded winter, at 27.4 percent and 23.1 percent, respectively. Winter losses the prior year were 23.7 percent and summer losses 19.8 percent.

Bayer CropScience called the report "good news," citing the winter loss decline, in a statement issued on Tuesday. Bayer said summer losses were "expected and common," and experts did not agree on what was a "normal range for summer losses."

A full report will be published later this year, the USDA said.

How about a thread about a microchip implanted bee swarm invading Texas?

Help me out here. Are you guys saying that a government of ANY political stripe could get elected on a platform that involved a compulsory implantation of micro-chips into our brains?

Furthermore, if a what? President? introduced such a policy only after getting elected to office & after miraculously getting Congressional support, are you guys insinuating that it wouldn't result in the most spectacular non-partisan protests in the history of Western civilization?

We already happily cough up all sorts of data on line, so it strains my credulity to even consider that any elected representative would champion the kind of legislation that would require this kind of physically invasive interference with our humanity.

Let's worry about the bees. That actually deserves our full attention.

It seems to me that would be a better location since they will soon be charging by the ounce (or pounD - ymmv).

Congratulations Ron - 450 and climbing, with as nearly as I can figure, only two (three) references to ammunition.

They (the govt) won't need to be elected for this chore, it will be accomplished by so-called private industry. Many folks will go willingly, based on their new found ability to buy precious consumer goods with a mere wave of the hand.

Comes now Carlos Altamirano [who] is implanted with the VeriChip, a microchip that is used to confirm everything

No names, but there are some here (ST) that will gobble this sh!t up

I want my RFID chip in my adze...

do I get a prize for the correct answer???

what a moronic question. The economy is being taken hostage by the republicans and this guy is worried about RFID chips, chem trails and fluoride

and when he votes, he votes for more fluoride, or wastes his vote on Alex Jones for President
Why because people like him have been duped to believe they're are the same.
There is no good left, Reagan wiped it clean off the map, everyone is corrupt and bad. It's all owned by the dark 0verloads (which the republicans enabled)

Does everyone think that there isn't a single good politician left??
have you all completely given up?
Well not everyone has given up, and there are some good politicians out there, they just aren't Republicans or Libertarians, and they aren't owned by big bucks, which would make the liberal progressives, so you may have missed them.

Do you think Rand Paul will change anything other than more Suffering and Republican waste?

So lets see...

A chip that is voluntarily implanted in someone's arm turns into a government conspiracy to implant chips in ALL of our brains, and it will be compulsory?

Is this before or after the U.S. Army conquers Wal-Mart?
