Wait wait- you mean that BUSH KNEW-
AGAIN !
The same scenario as 9-11.
Same as it ever was.
In their insatiable greed, the giant meat companies, and their government stooges ignored official warnings about infected meat.
KNEW it was coming.
Congress took big bucks from Big Agriculture and conspired with Conagra to SUPPRESS legislation protecting the public.
BUSH KNEW and his people knew, and they let the meat be sold.
Now he will make a speech, looking right into the camera, and vowing to punish the Evildoers- which in his mind are herds of cows.
The Oxes of Evil.
At last- something has happened that actually EFFECTS BUSH.
HAMBURGERS.

Veneman Received Imminent Warning 6 Weeks Before Mad Cow Discovery
"Ever since he identified the cause [of] mad cow disease, Dr. Stanley Prusiner has worried about whether the meat supply in America is safe... In May, a case of mad cow disease appeared in Canada, and he quickly sought a meeting with Ann M. Veneman, the secretary of agriculture. He was rebuffed, he said in an interview yesterday, until he ran into Karl Rove... So six weeks ago, Dr. Prusiner, who won the 1997 Nobel Prize in Medicine, entered Veneman's office with a message. 'I went to tell her that what happened in Canada was going to happen in the United States... I told her it was just a matter of time.' The department had been willfully blind to the threat, he said... Veneman's response (he said she did not share his sense of urgency) left him frustrated. That frustration soared this week after a cow in Washington State was tentatively found to have the disease. If the nation had increased testing and inspections, meat from that cow might never have entered the food chain, he said."

Does Your Representative Have Mad Cash Disease?
On 7-14-03, Rep. Gary Ackerman (D-NY) offered an amendment to keep downed animals out of the food supply. By a vote of 202-199, the Republican-led House DEFEATED the Ackerman amendment. Did your Representative vote for your HEALTH, or for beef industry GREED? Call his/her office at 202-224-3121 and demand immediate inclusion of the Mad Cow bill in the Omnibus appropriations bill.

Mad CASH Disease Blocks Food Safety Rules
"Though some scientists had long warned that mad cow disease would eventually appear in the US, cattle owners and meatpackers repeatedly resisted calls for a more substantial program to test for the disease, and the Agriculture Dept. went along with them. Congress came close three times to banning the sale of meat from downer cows - ones that are too sick or hurt to amble into slaughterhouses - only to see the industry's allies block each of the bills at the last moment. And proposals for systems to track which farms produced sickened cattle - now required in Europe, Canada and Japan - also languished for years here... [Current] regulation leaves glaring loopholes. Rendered cattle can be fed to pigs and chickens, which can then be fed back to cows. Cow blood, which cannot be guaranteed free of disease, is widely fed to calves as a 'milk replacer.' Deer that may be infected with disease can be rendered into cattle feed. Enforcement of the regulation, they say, has been lax."

Honest GOP Meatpacker Was Ground Up Like Hamburger by BushEman
"When John Munsell, owner of a family-run meat packing plant in Miles City, Montana, reported that he had received tainted meat from ConAgra's massive Greely, Colorado, facility he got a surprise. Instead of recalling the meat, the USDA shut down Munsell's grinding operation for four months. The experience has made an activist of the die-hard Republican, who has become a vocal critic of a federal system that allows the big players to largely regulate themselves. Munsell is Mother Jones' Nov./Dec. 'Hellraiser' activist."

Quote of The Day:
"What kind of victory is it when someone is left defeated? What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty and democracy. What is a war criminal? Was not war itself a crime against God and humanity, and, therefore, were not all those who sanctioned, engineered and conducted wars, war criminals? The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong. Non-cooperation with evil is a sacred duty." Gandhi
