The Valley Bust Line

Some ideas come around at the right time, others not so much. It would appear that a Mass Transit Bus Service in the Matanuska Susitna Valley might be one of those ideas whose time has not yet come. Mokie Tew bet big that he could provide a bus service to the Valley and bought a small fleet of old Anchorage People Mover Buses, three of them were put into service in mid March of 2010, by April the two Valley routes were shut down due to lack of riders, most days they were lucky to have 10 people ride the bus, far less than the number needed to pay the costs of operation. The Anchorage Bus is still running but even it’s days may be numbered. It seems that most people would prefer to take their own cars to town than ride a Bus that does not allow you to bring a cup of coffee on with you, or perhaps they just don’t think real Alaskans ride Pink Buses. 6 Months into the great experiment Mokie has yet to get much interest in advertising on his “fleet” of one bus, investors in what he intends to be a non profit 501(c) seem to be as scarce as riders and advertisers.

It remains to be seen how long he will continue to try and convince himself and the Valley residents that this is a good idea, but the way things are going it looks like there might some used buses for sale cheap in the near future.

A little good, a lot of evil.

The Opium and Banking Men of the 1700′s moved into the New World with zeal in the first days of America. By 1833 they had established the Skull and Bones at Yale University. It would be the focal point for the building of their power from then on. “Lesser” secret societies such as Scroll & Key and Wolfs Head would also supply their need for talent, but if you were exceptional and had the right bloodline Skull and Bones had a coffin just your size waiting.

War and the tools of war became a way to profit and mold World politics. Samuel Bush’s Buckeye Steel made the gun barrels for Remington, which also outfitted the Czar’s forces in Russia after contracting to supply a million rifles to Russia in 1916. During World War I, Remington supplied 67 percent of all the weapons and ammunition used by the Allied forces. Samuel Prescott Bush was made chief of the Ordnance, Small Arms and Ammunition Section of the War Industries Board in the Wilson administration during World War I, allowing him to make certain that his brotherhood was given purchasing preference.

After the murder of Abe Lincoln Skull & Bones member Morrison Remick Waite was appointed by President Ulysses S. Grant as Chief Justice of the United States, and he held this position until his death in 1888. He was one of the early organizers of the Republican Party and despite being an abolitionist many of his rulings favored the KKK and Negro oppression in the South.

Alphonso Taft, one of the founders of Skull and Bones, served as Secretary of War in 1876 and then became Attorney General of the United States from 1876 to 1877. His Son, William Howard Taft, was Governor-General of the Philippines, and Secretary of War before becoming the 27th President of the United States 1909-1913, 10th Chief Justice of the United States 1921-1930. While Taft was in the Philippines Elihu Root, Root being a elite Skull and Bones family, was Secretary of War.

Harvey Hollister Bundy was Special Assistant to the Secretary of War during W.W. II. Harvey was one of the key figures in the Manhattan Project developing the Atom bomb.
Many other Bonesmen held influential offices throughout the war, especially in the Office of Strategic Services and when the CIA was born out of them Bonesmen filled the leadership ranks  as they continue to do to this day.

Monsters of Industry: Monsanto

Monsanto was founded in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1901, by John Francis Queeny. He gave the company his wife’s maiden name. His father in law was Emmanuel Mendes de Monsanto a wealthy sugar financier active in Vieques, Puerto Rico and based in St. Thomas in the Danish West Indies. The company’s first product was the artificial sweetener saccharin, which it sold to the Coca-Cola Company. It also introduced caffeine and vanillin to Coca-Cola, and became one of that company’s main suppliers.

1920s, Monsanto expanded into basic industrial chemicals like sulfuric acid. The 1940s saw Monsanto become a leading manufacturer of plastics, including polystyrene, and synthetic fibers, taking over most of the market in these areas left by the criminalization of Marijuana. Other major products have included the herbicides 2,4,5-T, DDT (The use of DDT in the U.S. was banned by Congress in 1972 as a major toxin) and Agent Orange (later proven to be highly carcinogenic), the artificial sweetener aspartame (NutraSweet, thought to cause Brain Lesions), bovine somatotropin (bovine growth hormone,100% banned in Canada, the European Union, Australia and New Zealand.), and PCBs causing Large-scale environmental contamination events. Monsanto scientists became the first to genetically modify a plant cell in 1982. Five years later, Monsanto conducted the first field tests of genetically engineered crops (AKA Frankenfoods).

Monsanto has patent claims on breeding techniques for pigs grants them ownership of any pigs born of such techniques and their related herds.

In January, 2010, Monsanto was named company of the year by Forbes.

They are descended from a Jewish family from Spain and Portugal which was enobled but left due to persecution from the Spanish Inquisition. The majority of the descendants of the family are now Christian but branches which retain their original religion still exist.

The international chemical company Monsanto was financed by catholic Don Emmanuel Mendes de Monsanto of St Thomas who made a fortune financing the sugar industry in Puerto Rico notably Vieques, he was made a baron by Spain. The founder was John Patrick Queeney his son-in-law a chemist who made saccharin in competition with a German company who had previously monopolized it.
