Chipotle is a victim of corporate sabotage

"After observing recent events involving Chipotle and e.coli, here's my analysis of the situation: Chipotle's e.coli outbreaks are not random chance. They are the result of the biotech industry unleashing bioterrorism attacks against the only fast food company that has publicly denounced GMOs.

How do we know? The CDC has already admitted that some of these e.coli outbreaks involve a "rare genetic strain" of e.coli not normally seen in foods. Furthermore, we also know the track record of the biotech industry engaging in the most criminal, dirty, sleazebag tactics imaginable against any person or company that speaks out against GMOs."

1. That's interesting

But isn't natural news considered woo?

[trof]

6. Probably. It was an email from Mark Crispin Miller.

Somehow I got on his list. He's a hoot.

21. One of the few to oppose Bush when his popularity was at 92-percent in the days after 9-11.

Most of DU was waving the flag like they'd lost their minds.

Miller actually was onto Bush's criminal and pimply backsides earlier.

Regarding the GMO's. I'll stand with Prof. Miller over his critics, many of whom are no doubt at work undermining him at his job as I write.

2. isn't chipotle a corporation ?

[Snobblevitch]

20. What is the point you wish to make with your question?

[scscholar]

23. They might be...

but they stand so much against the typical corporation that those Republicans hate them.

3. Natural News?

Ehhhh no.

As Wikipedia relates, Natural News:

... Is dedicated to the sale of various dietary supplements, promotion of alternative medicine, controversial nutrition and health claims,[3] and various conspiracy theories,[4] such as "chemtrails", chemophobic claims such the purported dangers of fluoride in drinking water[5] (as well as those of monosodium glutamate[6] and aspartame), and purported health problems caused by allegedly "toxic" ingredients in vaccines,[3] including the now-discredited link to autism.[7]

Characterized as a "conspiracy-minded alternative medicine website", Natural News has approximately 7 million unique visitors per month.[8] Founder Mike Adams has been accused of using sockpuppet accounts to fraudulently increase the vote count in his self-nomination for a Shorty Award. The journal Vaccine accused Adams of spreading "irresponsible health information" through Natural News.[9] He has also been accused of using "pseudoscience to sell his lies".[10]

Its founder, Michael Allen "Mike" Adams is an AIDS denialist, a 9/11 truther, a birther,[11] and has endorsed conspiracy theories surrounding the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.[12] Adams was the subject of controversy after posting a blog entry implying a call for violence against proponents of GMO foods, and then allegedly creating another website with a list of names of alleged supporters.

4. Mike Fucking Adams is always good for a chuckle

It's kind of like the Onion, except I'm pretty sure Adams believes his own bullshit. Some here on DU seem to think Adams and Mercola are good sources of information.

5. Literally every facepalm in human history

boiled down and concentrated then distilled and triple charcoal filtered for bottling at 90 proof could not be sufficient answer to that paranoid nutfuck and his stupid site.

7. WOW! I admire your style!

16. Here's what your buddy had to say about Obama's re-election:

This puts America in a very dangerous situation, given Obama's well-demonstrated desire to destroy freedom and liberty in this nation. Remember: Obama is anti health freedom, anti food freedom, anti GMO labeling, anti medical freedom and anti farm freedom. He's the one who issued an executive order claiming government ownership over all farms and farm equipment, in case you forgot that little fact.

He's also the guy who just recently issued an executive order merging Homeland Security with local corporate entities to grant the executive branch of government a power monopoly over the nation, bypassing the courts and Congress. You probably haven't even heard about that one, because he secretly signed it during Hurricane Sandy.

Your choice of reading sucks. Your idea of what belongs on DU sucks.

12. You win the thread with that reply!

Any quote from Natural News as anything but an example of rank, steaming bullshit is asking for it.

[tammywammy]

17. Heh!

[brer cat]

18. It was worth reading

that crap just to get to this.

24. Beautifully said!...

8. I tend to agree with you for a couple reasons.

There were multiple outbreaks in multiple locations with a lot of distance between outbreaks and the source could not be found.

Secondarily, I recall reading about a cult run by some swami out of India, whose followers were able to take over the town politics by spritzing the local restaurants' salad bars with a salmonella cocktail. This happened out in Wahington or Oregon back in the 70's or 80's.

14. You are thinking of the Rajneeshees in central Oregon

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rajneeshpuram

They took over simply by outnumbering and outvoting the locals. But one of their leaders, Ma Anand Sheela, was a nasty piece of work.

[GoneFishin]

9. I haven't seen proof yet, but the events are consistent with that scenario. Ethics and moral

restraint are sure not an impediment to those bastards. And they certainly have the technology, financial resources, and motive. So yeah, if concrete evidence turns up then I won't be surprised one bit.

[nadinbrzezinski]

10. Natural News?

At least the Enquirer does break ACTUAL news from time to time.

11. First they bomb the Moon, now this.

[temporary311]

13. The Moon had it coming.

15. It should have known better than to keep going out alone at night. nt

19. Codeine may I worship you from afar?... nt

[SidDithers]

22. naturalnews. LOL...

Mike "The Health Ranger" Adams once did an expose on Chicken McNuggets, too.

Hilarity ensued.

Mike Adams is a fucking loon.

25. I think we have a new winner for idiotic conspiracy theory.

26. I'm pretty sure that the e.Coli came from an implosion nuke dropped by HAARP
