THE FADING LIGHT OF POP CHRISTIANITY

"The Hillsong brand of Christianity is one marked with pursuing earthly treasures, entertainment, celebrity, and sensationalism."
THE FADING LIGHT OF POP CHRISTIANITY 
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational and research purposes:

Christians were shocked in August when longtime Hillsong songwriter, Marty Sampson announced that he was “losing his faith”.

In a Twitter post (that has since been removed), Marty claims that he is “not in anymore” and wants “genuine truth. Not the “I Just Believe It” kind of truth”. His list of reasons that Christianity is “not for me”, according to Sampson, read like a laundry list of teenage rebellions to Christianity during youth group:
– Christians are judgmental
– Science disproves Christianity
– Preachers fail morally
– The Bible has contradictions
Many Christians will read this news and wonder how God’s power fits in to a Christian leader walking away from the Faith. Christians may wonder how someone so influential to modern Christianity can reject the faith he led others through. 
Is God losing His elect to the powerful forces of modernity?
In one of Marty’s most popular songs, Oceans, one lyric reads:
“Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders”
Did God fail to lead Marty into an unfailing trust?
Not in the least.
You see, its obvious from his recent apostasy announcement that Marty’s faith rested in a form of Christianity that reflects the spirit of our age, rather than a faith led by the Spirit of God.
The Hillsong brand of Christianity is one marked with pursuing earthly treasures, entertainment, celebrity, and sensationalism.
I like to call it “pop-Christianity”. Drawing from all the entertainment and commercial successes of the 21st century, pop-Christianity appeals to the temporal at the expense of the eternal.
This, however, is not unique to Hillsong-Christianity. It was the sociologist Christian Smith in his book Soul Searching whose research formulated the most popular beliefs that today’s professing Christians hold to. 
Through interviewing hundreds of Christians, his research revealed that professing Christian’s most important beliefs about their faith are:
– God wants people to be good, nice, and fair to each other
– The central goal of life is to be happy and feel good about one’s self
– Good people go to heaven when they die
Smith coined the term Moralistic Therapeutic Deism (MTD) to describe this form of Christianity. It is moralistic, in that there are rules; deistic in that there is a god, and therapeutic because the goal of this faith is happiness. 
Just look at the title of Brian Houston’s (founder of Hillsong Church) book and you’ll see a form of Christianity overly concerned with the one’s material condition. Add to that the Hillsong worship experience that is more of a psychological experience than communing with the divine, and you have a faith that makes no sense to questions of morality, holiness, and truth.
As if right on cue, I talked to a high school aged boy this week who grew up in the church. He chuckled as I suggested that God is not primarily concerned with us being happy, as if to say “you’re joking, right?”
It is not difficult to see why a successful person like Marty Sampson would walk away from Christianity. His life is more secure than most; why wrestle with difficult topics like morality, which is essentially asking the question “how would God have me live” and “which actions are holy and good, and which are unholy and do damage”. He claims that the Bible has contradictions; why wrestle with the writings of 2000+ years of Christian thinkers who have made sense of it.
The disheartening thing is that the sensational and prosperity-focused forms of Christianity are extremely prevalent. Even in historic churches and denominations, MTD is the result of modernity’s philosophies at work within the hearts of their parishioners.
Making A Mockery Of Christianity
The Hillsong phenomena may be a very visible and organized form of pop-Christianity, but any time you see a church losing focus on holiness, wisdom, truth, and beauty, and trade it in for entertainment, gimmickry, and focusing on the present world, it is making a mockery of Christianity. Unfortunately, our culture is full of pop-Christianity vying for members and donors instead of disciples.
We mentioned here the mockery of Christian art, supported by the New York Cardinal. Hillsong Gold Coast might have been trying to top that when it literally turned its service into a circus.
Hillsong Gold Coast has all the fun and fascination of a circus:
Not to be outdone, the historic Norwhich Cathedral in England had a helter-skelter installed. The Rev. Jonathan Meyrick delivered a sermon atop the carnival ride, saying, “God is a tourist attractions,” and “God wants to be attractive to us… for us to enjoy ourselves, each other, and the world around us and this glorious helter-skelter is about just that”

A sacred cathedral becomes a joke
This after the Anglican church also installed a mini-golf course in another UK cathedral.
image: http://www.prophecynewswatch.com/images/recent/golfsept10.jpg
But perhaps the circus is too yesterday for you. Well, if games are your thing, the Roman Catholic Church has designed a PokemonGo-style app for you to play. With “Follow JC Go”, you can “catch” all the saints of the Church for your pilgrimage.
image: http://www.prophecynewswatch.com/images/recent/followsept10.jpg
And if electronics aren’t your thing, a church in Texas had a basketball theme for March Madness, where an entire court was installed on the altar — err… stage.
If you are looking at these examples of pop-Christianity and wondering “what is wrong with making Christianity attractive?”, the answer is that Christianity is attractive. What is being done by pop-Christianity is clouding truth and beauty with sensation and indulgence. Pop-Christianity is to spiritual health what Fast Food is to physical health; a cheap alternative that simply appeases the appetites.
The Christian faith rests upon the fact that God is beauty, and all His works and His ways are full of His beauty. The Christian is simply left to soak up that beauty; to bask in the light of God’s goodness. This requires obedience, relationship, reflection, and dedication to the God who dwells with His people. No amount of buzzing sounds and flashing lights will sustain a lifelong faith.
Get In Or Get Out
Pop-Christianity does offer something that may seem appealing: a foot in both worlds. Pop-Christianity has all the sensation and spectacle of popular culture, which is inarguably dedicated to feeding whatever passions and desires one might have. Yet, simultaneously speaking the language of and seeking for the divine.
But Christianity does not fill the same voids as popular culture. Pop culture fills desires for momentary pleasure. Christianity fills the desire for meaning. So like all popular culture fads, pop-Christianity fades away. Or its followers walk away.
Pop-Christianity also leaves its followers open to ridicule even from those on the outside. The outsider observes that pop-Christianity is an attempt to live in two worlds; like one who says they are a “baller” (slang for “basketball aficionado”), yet never dedicates any time to improve the skills and knowledge needed for the game. In other words, its easy to see the attempt to live devoted to one’s professed lifestyle (pop-Christianity or being a “baller”) isn’t a serious one.
Although the outsider may not agree and indeed detest ones disciplined obedience to the Christian faith, the outsider’s reaction is a validation that he is reacting to something genuine; a faith taken seriously.
Abandoning Pop-Christianity
By now we should see that Marty was a victim of the pop-Christianity that he facilitated for years. A faith that relies upon covering truth and beauty with sugar to make it more palatable is one that is easily given up in the face of adversity; even to the one’s pouring the sugar.
What surprises me is how a person with such a limited understanding of the Christian faith gathers such a large following of people who desire that understanding. But if our culture is one that is desperately seeking moments of sensation and indulgence, then perhaps it is understandable that a figure with a talent for satisfying such appetites would ascend to such a position.
The job of the Christian today is to see the Christian faith as more than a hobby or part-time job. It doesn’t just inform a person, it directs their every step and the paths they choose. The problem I see very often is that churches and ministries take their cues from the entertainment and commercial practices of pop-culture. And individual Christians try to fit cultural values into the way of Christ. It must be clear that the worlds ways are not Christ’s ways.
Our faith directs what is valuable (sacrifice, servanthood, holiness), and so does pop-culture (fulfilling desires, having intense experiences).
Our faith directs what is wise (living simply, unaffiliated with the world), and so does pop-culture (living lavishly, and taking cues from the world).
Our faith directs what we use our time on (spiritual disciplines, serving one another, worship of Christ), and so does pop-culture (seeking sensational experiences, personal goals, making one’s life comfortable).
Our faith directs which temperaments we should foster (meekness, patience, peacefulness) and which we should limit (selfishness, quick to speak, sporadic), while pop-culture encourages
Christianity and popular culture pull the individual in different directions. Its time to sever the ties. Its time to abandon Christian methods and ministries that are too entwined with the ways of pop-culture. Its time to stop letting fast-food Christianity be the main part of our diet. 
Lest we have more Marty Sampsons leading, then leaving our churches.

SOCIALIST BERNIE SANDERS DOUBLES DOWN ON ANTI-SEMITE PRO-JIHAD LINDA SARSOUR

Sanders Doubles Down on Anti-Semite Sarsour

BY STEVEN EMERSON
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational and research purposes:
Correction: U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders is from Vermont. An earlier version of this story incorrectly identified his home state. We regret the error.
Bernie Sanders has made an odd calculation in his quest for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination. He all-but-ceded support from Jewish Democrats during the weekend by announcing anti-Semitic activist Linda Sarsour again will serve as a campaign surrogate.
When Sanders embraced Sarsour's support during the 2016 campaign, we showed how her rabidly anti-Israel views crossed into anti-Semitism. She views Zionism – the belief in a Jewish homeland – as "creepy." She spoke at Louis Farrakhan's 2015 Million Man March, where she called Zionists white supremacists.
Her actions since then, in helping lead the national Women's March and in spreading a blood libel that blames Jews for police shootings of unarmed black people, have only made her hatred for the Jewish state and its supporters clearer.
A Gallup report issued last month found that 95 percent of American Jews view Israel favorably and more than three-quarters "they were at least somewhat emotionally attached to Israel." In 2016, Jews voted for Hillary Clinton over President Trump by 71 percent to 23 percent, exit polling showed. All of this makes Sanders' partnership with Sarsour difficult to fathom.
Is he confident that enough Jewish Democrats will overlook Sarsour and still support him? Or is the bet that the rest of the Democratic base – the primary voters – either agree with her or don't prioritize the issue, and that that is enough to compensate for the loss of Jewish votes? If he were to become the Democratic nominee, what happens to those voters in a general election? Do liberal Jews choose not to vote for president? Or do they switch to President Trump, whom they overwhelmingly opposed in 2016?
Evidence of Sarsour's anti-Semitism is even deeper than it was in 2016:
  • Anti-Semitic incidents within the Women's March leadership forced the movement's founder out. Sarsour was a national co-chair. The problem was so severe it prompted several big-name sponsors, including the Democratic National Committee (DNC), the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), Emily's List and the National Organization for Women (NOW), to withdraw support.
  • She reportedly has used Farrakhan's Nation of Islam for security, both personally and for the March.
  • She's a strong advocate of the BDS movement, which seeks to isolate Israel economically, politically and socially. BDS founder Marwan Barghouti has admitted that "We oppose a Jewish state in any part of Palestine. No Palestinian, rational Palestinian, not a sell-out Palestinian, will ever accept a Jewish state in Palestine."
  • One month after the 2016 election, Sarsour told an American Muslims for Palestine (AMP) gathering that her movement had no room for Jews who don't share her anti-Israel views, especially on BDS..
These ideas may have some momentum with younger, more liberal Democrats, but remain far on the fringe of the party's establishment. The U.S. House voted in July to condemn BDS by a 398-17 vote. It criticized the movement for "encouraging the Palestinians to reject negotiations in favor of international pressure" and because BDS "does not recognize, and many of its supporters explicitly deny, the right of the Jewish people to national self-determination."
By officially announcing Sarsour's role as a campaign surrogate, Sanders – an independent senator from Vermont – seems to see political gain in aligning with the 17 "no" voters.
Sarsour and her allies say that they are merely criticizing Israeli policies, and that cannot be considered anti-Semitic. But rejecting Israel's existence is a form of anti-Jewish bigotry according to the State Department's definition of anti-Semitism.
"I am an unapologetic pro-BDS, one-state solution supporting resistance supporter here in the U.S.," Sarsour told an audience at the Islamic Society of North America's (ISNA) annual convention a year ago, the Investigative Project on Terrorism exclusively reported. It was there that she blamed an Anti-Defamation League program that takes American police leaders to Israel to learn about anti-terror and riot control methods. The program does not include any hands-on training. But that didn't stop Sarsour from falsely alleging that, as a result of the program, police "come back here and do what? Stop and frisk, killing unarmed black people across the country."
Sarsour recently led a failed drive to get CNN anchor Jake Tapper fired after Tapper had the temerity to compare Palestinian rhetoric that incites violence to American political rhetoric and the role it may play in a spate of white nationalist violence in America. "Either tone matters or it doesn't," he said.
Sarsour, through her political group MPower Change, launched a petition demanding Tapper's firing. Tapper's reference to Palestinian incitement and terror glorification, which is well documented, amounted to "the height of unethical journalism," she said.
It wasn't. But the over-reaction says a lot about Sarsour's politics. A 2016 Sanders campaign ad concluded by showing Sarsour saying the candidate "sees all of me."
If he really does, and still embraces Sarsour's support, that might be the most disturbing aspect of all.

CHULA VISTA, CALIFORNIA: CHURCH BUILDING VANDALIZED WITH SATANIC GRAFFITI; POSSIBLY TARGETED OVER OPPOSITION TO DRAG QUEEN EVENT


CHURCH BUILDING VANDALIZED WITH SATANIC GRAFFITI; POSSIBLY TARGETED OVER OPPOSITION TO DRAG QUEEN EVENT
BY HEATHER CLARK
CHULA VISTA, Calif. — A house of worship in California was vandalized this past Sunday with Satanic graffiti, profanity and sexual vulgarity, and it is suspected that it might have been targeted because of vocal opposition to a “Drag Queen Storytime” event.
“We’ve stood up the last several weeks to share our concern regarding the upcoming drag queen story hour. We feel that maybe, perhaps, those two are connected,” Amado Huizar, who leads South Bay Pentecostal Church, told NBC7 News.
According to reports, the vandalism took place at approximately 3 a.m. Sunday morning as two men with backpacks were seen on surveillance footage exiting their vehicle. They are later captured walking back to the four-door sedan with what appears to be spray paint cans in their hands.
Hours later, Huizar received a phone call advising that the building had been hit.
“Sure enough, at every corner there were phrases, hateful words, and graffiti on the walls of our church,” he told KGTV, explaining that some of the messages are sexual in nature.
Huizar has filed a complaint with the Chula Vista Police Department and also met with Mayor Mary Salas to express his concerns about the drag queen event as he does not believe it should be held at a public library nor does he find it appropriate for children. She has defended the offering as simply “making the children feel comfortable about who they are.”
“If the people want to make that happen, do it at a private setting, at a book store or at a home, but not at the Chula Vista Public Library,” Huizar said. KGTV reports that Huizar wanted the event to either be canceled or moved to the upcoming pride festival.
The Satanic graffiti and vulgar sayings are currently covered under brown paper until a full investigation can be conducted.
The Drag Queen Storytime moved forward on Tuesday and was preceded by those who marched in support of the event. Those in attendance held signs and chanted slogans such as “Hey, hey. Ho, ho. Homophobia has got to go.”
Those who opposed the children’s storytime at the library likewise held signs, and one woman chanted, “Love the gays, not their ways.”
“I’m very sad,” Huizar said of the graffiti. “I’m heartbroken, but I am going to continue to speak.”
Police thus far have not been able to find evidence that the church was targeted because of its opposition to the event. South Bay Alliance, which presented the Drag Queen Storytime, outlined in a statement that it condemns the vandalism — if indeed it was committed because of Huizar’s stance.
“It has no place in any political dialogue. I sincerely hope it was not in response to their position on the storytime, but if it was, it is extremely inappropriate,” the group said.



MICHIGAN CHURCH FORCED TO CANCEL EVENT "IS MICHIGAN SURRENDERING TO ISLAM?"~EVENT UNDER PRESSURE FROM HAMAS-LINKED "CAIR", ANTIFA, SPLC, & INTERFAITH SOCIAL JUSTICE GROUP "UNITECLOUD"

ALLEGED QUOTE FROM THIS VERY BRAVE PASTOR, TELLING THE TRUTH

MICHIGAN CHURCH CANCELS: 
"IS MICHIGAN SURRENDERING TO ISLAM?"~
EVENT UNDER PRESSURE FROM 
HAMAS-LINKED "CAIR" 
BY ROBERT SPENCER
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational and research purposes:

Writing about 9/11 this morning, I wrote: “The jihad threat can emanate from anywhere the Qur’an and Sunnah are preached and believed. But saying that in America eighteen years after 9/11 won’t result in any public consternation or calls for the monitoring of mosques; it will only get you defamed as a ‘racist’ and an ‘Islamophobe,’ to be dismissed and shunned by all decent people. Meanwhile, one imam in Georgia recently stated: ‘There has not been another 9/11-such attack in America because Islam is winning.'”

And here we are. CAIR is an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas terror funding case — so named by the Justice Department. CAIR officials have repeatedly refused to denounce Hamas and Hizballah as terrorist groups. Several former CAIR officials have been convicted of various crimes related to jihad terror. CAIR’s cofounder and longtime Board chairman (Omar Ahmad), as well as its chief spokesman (Ibrahim Hooper), have made Islamic supremacist statements about how Islamic law should be imposed in the U.S. (Ahmad denies this, but the original reporter stands by her story.) CAIR chapters frequently distribute pamphlets telling Muslims not to cooperate with law enforcement. CAIR has opposed virtually every anti-terror measure that has been proposed or implemented and has been declared a terror organization by the United Arab Emirates. CAIR’s Hussam Ayloush in 2017 called for the overthrow of the U.S. government. CAIR’s national outreach manager is an open supporter of Hamas. Its research director has endorsed a jihad-supporting charity.
That such a group would receive mainstream support while an event such as this one is condemned is a sign of how far we are from properly addressing what happened on September 11, 2001.
“Church cancels 9/11 event under pressure from CAIR,” WND, September 10, 2019:
A Michigan church canceled a 9/11 event critical of the interfaith movement and Islamic supremacism after complaints from the Council on American-Islamic Relations and politicians.
Bloomfield Hills Baptist Church was to host a two-day event called “9/11 forgotten? Is Michigan surrendering to Islam?” on Wednesday and Thursday.
A former Muslim who has become a popular speaker, Shahram Hadian, was to speak Wednesday on “How the Interfaith Movement is Sabotaging America and the Church.” And on Thursday, Jim Simpson, a former Office of Management and Budget economist to three presidents and an investigative reporter, was to speak on “How Islam is Destroying America from Within.”
The event was planned by a group called the Detroit Coalition for Freedom.
In response to the cancelation [sic], the organization United West will feature the two speakers in a webinar on Wednesday at 7 p.m. Eastern time that can be viewed online through registration.
‘We don’t hate Muslims’
Last week, the Baptist church’s pastor, Donald McKay, defended the event in an interview with WJBK-TV.
“Islam is a growing threat in the United States of America,” he said. “We don’t hate Muslims, we hate the ideology they are identified with.
Hadian said on his website that his Sept. 11 discussion would “expose the growing deception of interfaith dialogue” and “explain how interfaith ‘dialogue’ is compromising the Gospel & our national security.”
But the Council on American-Islamic Relations along with members of Congress and state representatives pressed the church to cancel the event, and its elders complied.
The executive director of CAIR’s Michigan chapter, Dawud Walid, cast the event’s message as “anti-Muslim bigotry.”
“Though we believe that houses of worship have the right to preach their doctrine, we find it incredibly irresponsible for a church to invite someone who has the objective of spewing clear anti-Muslim bigotry,” Walid told the Detroit Free Press.
While CAIR portrays itself as a civil rights group, it’s history illustrates the point of Simpson’s lecture: Movements such as the Muslim Brotherhood are present in the United States — as a Brotherhood document seized by the FBI shows — to “destroy Western Civilization from within.”
CAIR has been shown in court to be a front for the terrorist organization Hamas, the Palestinian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood. It was designated by the State Department as an unindicted co-conspirator in a scheme to fund Hamas. And the United Arab Emirates in 2014 listed CAIR as one of 83 banned terrorist organizations, along with the Taliban, al-Qaida and ISIS.
‘Toxic and bigoted events’
Prior to the Bloomfield church’s cancelation of the event, two member of Congress from Michigan, Democratic Reps. Andy Levin and Debbie Dingell, said in a joint statement there is “no place for hate in Metro Detroit, in Michigan or anywhere in the United States.”
“We implore the Bloomfield Baptist Church to forgo the anti-Muslim events planned for next week and instead recognize America’s rich cultural and religious diversity as we reflect on one of the most painful days in our country’s history and heal from recent acts of white supremacist violence,” Levin and Dingell said….

To call McCay extreme is like saying the president seems a bit factually unreliable at times. "We believe that Muslims, committed Muslims that are familiar with their faith, are committed really to the overthrown of the United States and to world domination," he tells Fox 2.
Critics of the unbridled bigotry include U.S. Reps. Andy Levin of Berkley and Debbie Dingell of Dearborn, who say in a statement: "There is no place for hate in Metro Detroit."

The denial and obfuscation are quite literally endless. The establishment media’s first priority is to make sure no one thinks ill of Islam. If Christians had brought down the Towers in the name of Christ, would the Times be this solicitous of Christianity? What do you think?

“Nolte: New York Times Says ‘Airplanes Took Aim at World Trade Center’ on 9/11,” by John Nolte, Breitbart, September 11, 2019:
The far-left New York Times reports it was “airplanes” that took aim at the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001 — not Islamic terrorists.
No kidding, this is what the New York Times published on Wednesday, the 18th anniversary of that terrible day: “Eighteen years have passed since airplanes took aim at the World Trade Center and brought them down.”
A tweet published by the Times on Wednesday announced the same bombshell: “18 years have passed since airplanes took aim and brought down the World Trade Center.”
Without bothering to retract the extraordinary news nearly 3000 Americans were the victims of airplanes that had suddenly became sentient, the Times deleted the tweet and rewrote the article.
Naturally, the article still withholds holds the crucial information about exactly who the terrorists were: “Eighteen years have passed since terrorists commandeered airplanes to take aim at the World Trade Center and bring them down,” it now reads.
But nowhere in the piece will you read the words “Islam” or even “al Qaeda.”
This is what Orwell called memory-holing, a deliberate act that involves the Powerful rewriting the past by erasing the past, all in the hope of controlling the future.
You can bet that had white supremacists brought down the World Trade Center,  “WHITE SUPREMACIST” would appropriately blaze in every headline.
To point out just how dishonest the failing New York Times has chosen to be on this somber anniversary, try to imagine similar coverage on the anniversary of the 2015 massacre in that South Carolina church where a white supremacist murdered nine black Americans in cold blood.
“Five years have passed since a gun took aim in a Charleston, South Carolina Church, and nine people died,” the Times story and tweet would read.
Now let’s apply the Times’ so-called update to the 9/11 article to the Charleston shooting:  “Five years have passed since a man used a gun to murder nine black Americans in a Charleston, South Carolina Church.”…

 ‘Some People Did Something’:
Son Of 9/11 Victim Addresses Ilhan Omar
During Memorial Ceremony

9/11 VICTIM’S SON TAKES ILHAN OMAR TO WOODSHED AT GROUND ZERO COMMEMORATION

“Some people did something?”

BY JAMIE WHITE
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational and research purposes:
A man whose mother died on 9/11 tore into Rep. Ilhan Omar for describing the terror attacks as “some people did something,” during a memorial service at Ground Zero on Wednesday.
Nicholas Haros Jr. wore a black shirt emblazoned with the phrase “Some People Did Something?” to single out Omar and the Squad while reading out names of the victims, including his mother Frances Haros.
“’Some people did something,’ said a freshman congresswoman from Minnesota,” said Haros about Omar. “Today I am here to respond to you exactly who did what to whom.”
“Madam, objectively speaking, we know who and what was done. There is no uncertainty about that. Why your confusion?” Haros asked. “On that day, 19 Islamic terrorist members of al Qaeda killed over 3,000 people and caused billions of dollars of economic damage. Is that clear?”
“But as to whom,” Haros continued, “I was attacked, your relatives and friends were attacked, our constitutional freedoms were attacked and our nation’s founding on Judeo-Christian principles were attacked.”
“That’s what some people did,” Haros added. “Got that now?”
Omar had made the callous remarks downplaying the 9/11 attacks during a Council on American-Islamic Relations event in March.
“CAIR was founded after 9/11 because they recognized that some people did something, and that all of us were starting to lose access to our civil liberties,” Omar, a Muslim congresswoman, had said.
President Trump tweeted out a video railing Omar for her comments, driving home the point that there was nothing ambiguous about the Islamic attacks on the Twin Towers in 2001 that killed over 3,000 people.



The lack of criticism from the left of Ilhan Omar and AOC is evidence of the left’s double standards. Paul Joseph Watson joins Alex to discuss how conservatives are being persecuted, yet MSM remains silent.

FORMER ORGANIC INSPECTOR EXPOSES "ORGANIC" FOOD FRAUDS

FORMER ORGANIC INSPECTOR EXPOSES 
"ORGANIC" FOOD FRAUDS
In this exclusive interview with Alex Newman of The New American, former organic inspector turned whistleblower Mischa Popoff exposes the dubious testing and certification processes of the "organic industry." Almost half of "organic" food tests positive for prohibited pesticides, he says. Even more alarming, Popoff, author of the book "Is It Organic?", explains that all sorts of Communist Chinese garbage from state farms with "serfs" working on them is being peddled to Americans as "organic," despite the laxest of "inspections." Popoff said the best solution is to simply buy from farmers that consumers know personally.
