Plants were first genetically modified (OGM) in 1975. The researchers confirmed that their impact on the environment is None of their concerns. Now every living creatures is impacted and suffering.
Do you know that the multinational OMG, like Monsanto and Bayer, first prepare the land by spreading all kinds of pesticides used in the 50’s and 60’s, particularly the new Glyphosate, proven to cause cancer? Now if these plants are supposed to be resistant to a certain kind of bugs, why spread pesticides?
Do you know that wind is contaminating the traditional seeds with OMG plants? Even if 2 km away, the wind contaminate the traditional peasants harvests
Do you know that animals and insects are currently genetically modified? A cow can now produce milk adapted to children? Male Mosquitoes are modified to kill all female mosquitoes and their offspring when impregnated?
Do you know that 10% of all cultivated land in the world are OMG and 80% of the OMG lands are located in North America?
Do you know that 40% of exported OMG come from the USA? Argentina has tripled its production of OMG in the last decade.
Do you know that what the mono-culture of OMG cannot be consumed by the poor people in Africa they claim to have in mind to feed. They focus on cotton, soja, corn and flowers…
Do you know that the primary reason for modifying grown food is to be able to be handled by the harvesting machines?
I wonder: are research still going on the effects of these modifications on the health and safety of the consumers?

William S. Harley and Arthur Davidson are sons of immigrants who grew up next door to each other in the industrial hub of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. While in their early 20s, the childhood chums began tinkering with an engine for a motorized bicycle in a shed in the Harley family’s backyard—with the words “Harley-Davidson Motor Company” scrawled on its door. By 1903, they had completed their first racer model. Within three years, they opened their first factory and issued their first motorcycle catalog. Japan was a great market for the Japanese military in 1930 during the depression.
Best tax war to hurt the ego of USA is to heavily tax the Harley-Davidson “patriotic” slogans “Liberty Edition,” “Born Free.” “Fatboy” (First words of the 2 atomic bombs dropped on Japan Fatman and Little Boy)
1,400 is the Number of Harley-Davidson-sponsored HOG clubs around the world, seen as one of the corporate industry’s best-ever marketing programs. Average age of the Harley-Davidson buyer in 2013 is 47

Sept. 17, 1964: Japan opens the first commercial monorail, connecting Tokyo with Haneda Airport and launching the modern era of monorails as transit.
Monorails can go where elevated rail cannot: Their lighter cars and superstructure mean a much smaller footprint in tightly packed city centers. System costs vary widely (from $27 million per kilometer in India to more than $73 million per kilometer in Dubai), but prices are often lower than subways or elevated light rail.
The stodgy monorail is suddenly the belle of the ball for cash-strapped cities like São Paulo, Brazil, and Riyadh in Saudi Arabia.
The colonial powers have the habit of setting up all kinds of Red Lines when it suit them to other militarily “weaker nations”. Red Lines are Not meant to be applicable to the colonial powers, ever. They do sometimes sign on treaties but refrain to ratify them, like the International penal court, or being prosecuted by other nations.
Chemical weapons were first used by the colonial powers starting in WWI by Germany. The USA used chemical weapons extensively on Korea and China in the 50’s, then Orange defoliating gases in Viet Nam… They supplied Saddam Hussein with chemical weapons and were heavily used during Iran/Iraq war that lasted 8 years .
I am confused. First question: Were chemical weapons been used in Al Ghouta? Yes or No? I was not in the battle field, and neither were you. How do you interpret whatever you got in information and what are your rationals for lack of facts?
I am confused. Second question: If chemical weapons were used, why when the battle of Al Ghouta was over and all Islamic factions relocated by buses to Edlib and Jarablos without mentioning or suffering from chemical consequences?
I am confused. Third question: The colonial powers repeatedly disseminated the plausibility of usage of chemical weapons in Al Ghouta before the re-conquest started. The battle finished and no news of usage of chemical weapons were announced until the last couple of days when the war was over.
I am confused. Fourth question: We all felt that the colonial powers expected the Islamic factions to use the chemical weapons they were supplied with against either the Syrian army or the civilians inside Al Ghouta to provide excuses for the powers to intervene. Nothing happened. Had the colonial power failed to coordinate their strikes before the battle and now, as they are ready, they need to vent their frustrations from the failed 2013 threat?
I am confused. Fifth question: Why the White Helmets working with Islamic factions and trained to fabricate videos persist on taking video of children, and only children? If chemical weapons were used, the most probable injured parties should be the fighters huddled inside their tunnels in order to vent them out.
Why No videos of these supposedly gassed terrorists were not taken for the common people to watch? Actually, many of these video were taken in Afghanistan and displayed as happening in Syria.
I am confused. Sixth question: Why USA and France persist on attacking and striking the Syrian people under any excuse? Is it because their plans failed and they need some kind of revenge? And this latest determination to strike, is it a tactics to let the unconvinced people believe that chemical weapons were indeed used?

Lebanon PM, Sa3d Hariri said that the projects submitted to “Paris 4” conference were discussed with all the political parties and that dozen of meeting with the World Bank and IMF were convened to fine tune the feasibility of the projects and number of work-hours (150 million, which were translated into 90,000 new jobs opening every year for the coming 10 years).
And that the difference in opinion with the political parties relate to which districts should have priorities.
Question #1: Why this lack of transparency toward the Lebanese community? Why they were Not shared with us? Question #2: were these projects shared with the civil organizations?
