E.coli Outbreak at Chipotle and Costco, a Coincidence?
.
In October and November of 2015 I watched news report after news report about a multistate E.coli outbreak at one of my favorite restaurant chains, Chipotle.
.
Considering Chipotle has been outspokenly “in their face” about using only non GMO (Genetically modified organisms) ingredients my mind immediately went to “wow, someone sabotaged Chipotle”. Also in October of 2015 reports began streaming in about an E.coli outbreak in chicken salad sold in Costco stores nationwide. What could possibly link Costco with Chipotle?
Costco recently responded to customer concerns about selling farmed, genetically modified salmon by announcing they would not sell this product. Whereas these outbreaks are not necessarily linked, the E.coli bacteria found at Chipotle was genetically E.coli 026 and the strain found at Costco was E.coli 157, a more harmful strain, they both nonetheless occur after these companies declared their intent to use non GMO products. ...

Yes, Monsanto Actually DID Buy the BLACKWATER Mercenary Group!

A report by Jeremy Scahill in The Nation revealed that the largest mercenary army in the world, Blackwater (later called Xe Services and more recently “Academi“) clandestine intelligence services was sold to the multinational Monsanto. ...

Many military and former CIA officers work for Blackwater or related companies created to divert attention from their bad reputation and make more profit selling their nefarious services-ranging from information and intelligence to infiltration, political lobbying and paramilitary training – for other governments, banks and multinational corporations. ...

One of them, Cofer Black, known for his brutality as one of the directors of the CIA, was the one who made contact with Monsanto in 2008 as director of Total Intelligence, entering into the contract with the company to spy on and infiltrate organizations of animal rights activists, anti-GM and other dirty activities of the biotech giant.

REALLY INTERESTING about Blackwater - changed to Xe to duck all the scandalous publicity - and now Academi ? What a ridiculously innocuous cover for such a malevolent company.
WHAT ?? Monsanto bought it ?

I read Jeremy Scahill's book carefully quite some time ago. I looked for updates some years ago, but not much had transpired at THAT juncture. NOW the big news broke with this unpleasant development.

I remember the villain Cofer Black mentioned in the book. A terrible creature ! I am not surprised he is up to more really filthy tricks like here, and probably much else.

Is it time to move to Peru yet ?

Wow, sad for Chipotle [ I have never been near one ] and Costco [ I did see farmed salmon for sale just the other day - but no way to assess whether it was GMO or not ].

I'd like to hear more about developments here, especially re Costco.

I am not sure what type of food Chipotle is - Mexican ?

I remember when there was a big deal over Chick-Fil-A being anti-homosexual. That was how I first heard of that restaurant. Apparently now they had to bow to the massive pressure and participate in some homosexual support campaign, for I caught sight of a mention of that somewhere.

That's a bad sign for the way the media over-coverage causes even valiant holdouts in any of these sectors of the food industry to cave in and toe the line.
