⚡️Multinational Corporation and Several Individuals Charged with Multimillion-Dollar Organic Grain Fraud Scheme

Two Dubai entities and several individuals were charged in an indictment unsealed in the District of Maryland recently for their roles in a multimillion-dollar scheme to export non-organic grain into the United States to be sold as certified organic.

Hakan Agro DMCC and Hakan Organics DMCC, both based in Dubai, and Goksal Beyaz, Nuray Beyaz and Mustafa Cakiroglu, all of Turkey, were each charged with conspiracy, smuggling, and wire fraud. An initial appearance for Hakan Agro and Hakan Organics was held on Jan. 5 in the District of Maryland.

The indictment alleges that between November 2015 and May 2017, the defendants operated a scheme where Hakan Agro, Hakan Organics and associated entities would purchase non-organic soybeans and corn from Eastern Europe before having it shipped to the United States as “organic.” This scheme allowed the defendants to charge the higher prices associated with organic grains. Organic grains often cost as much as 50% more than conventional (i.e. non-organic) grains.

Among other misconduct, the indictment alleges:

🔘In late 2015, the defendants obtained non-organic, non-GMO soybeans from Ukraine for $423 per metric ton (MT). Thereafter, the defendants arranged to have the same soybeans shipped to Baltimore, Maryland, where they were sold as “organic soybeans” for $614/MT, totaling over $4.9 million.

🔘In early 2016, the defendants arranged to purchase non-organic corn for $168/MT and have it delivered to Constanta, Romania. Simultaneously, they arranged to sell the same corn from Constanta through Baltimore as “organic corn” for $247/MT. The invoices for this falsely labeled corn totaled over $3.3 million.

🔘In late 2016, the defendants shipped 16,250 MT of non-organic soybeans falsely labeled as “organic” from Turkey to the United States where they were sold for over $10 million

🔘In early 2017, the defendants arranged for 21,000 MT of non-organic corn to be shipped to the United States falsely labeled as organic. The invoices for the falsely-labeled corn totaled over $6.7 million.

🔘In early 2017, the defendants arranged for a load of non-organic soybeans to be shipped from Turkey to Baltimore falsely labeled as “organic” soybeans.
Wire fraud and smuggling are each punishable by a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison. Conspiracy is punishable by a maximum penalty of five years in prison. Upon conviction, a federal district court judge would determine any defendant’s sentence after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture, Office of Inspector General investigated this case

Senior Trial Attorney Adam Cullman of the Environment and Natural Resources Division’s Environmental Crimes Section and Assistant U.S. Attorney LaRai Everett for the District of Maryland are prosecuting the case.

Side Notes:
In 2016, Hakan Agro/Hakan Foods, won the Prestigious
“Corporate Social Responsibility Award”, at the Dubai Multi Commodities Centre free trade zone (DMCC) Awards 2016.

Hakan Agro, was founded by, Hakan Bahceci. He died on May 26, 2020 of a heart attack at his home in Dubai.

Hakan Agro is now headed by,
Sudhakar Tomar, a founding member of the company.

Is Your Food Really Organic? Does It Matter?

Currently, there are “100% organic” or “organic” labels, which both require certification. However, products labeled “organic” may contain 5% non-certified organic materials. If the product says “made with organic,” only 70% of the ingredients must be organic. Products marked with “organic ingredients” do not require certification or a minimum amount of organic ingredients.

In Dad's:

Leaf lettuce, carrot greens, broccoli micro greens and basil microgreens, celery, purple heirloom tomato avocado, carrot, turnip, pecans and walnuts, cranberries, black currants, blueberries

Steamed brussel sprouts, broccolini, celery, and turnip with a tiny bit of turmeric powder and black pepper

I think perhaps an errant buckwheat groats

And some chicken that was in the fridge

Olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and fresh squeezed lemon juice

And lemonade.

343: Cure Your Fatigue and Slow Down the Aging Process
343: Cure Your Fatigue

12/13/21 by Hilda Labrada Gore

Episode: https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/wisetraditions/WT_343_Cure_Your_Fatigue_Morley_Robbins.mp3?dest-id=323969

Mineral deficiencies could be at the root of much of our fatigue and illness. The proper balance of magnesium, copper, and iron can go far in restoring our health and curing our fatigue. Today, Morley Robbins, author of "Cure Your Fatigue" and founder of The Root Cause Protocol, offers insights on this topic. He explains how to achieve the proper balance of core minerals–copper, iron, and magnesium–to turn things around and restore the body’s balance. And he discusses where these minerals are found to incorporate them into the diet, absorb the critical nutrients, and improve our health and energy levels.

Starting to compile some questions here. Grateful for better wording and more ideas.

Questions for purveyors of animal protein foods, farmers, and carers of animals - chickens t.me/intuitivepredator/155

How we respect and care for these animals is of utmost priority if we conceive of ourselves as being in respectful, honorable relationship with these animal communities.

They are feeding us and saving our lives, and we owe them tremendously.

Not only must we be sure they are not being mistreated, we must be sure that our interactions with them are actually strengthening us honorably so that we can preserve and protect their living communities.

If we let governments and criminal so-called health organizations require us to hurt or sicken the animals in a way that would then hurt or sicken us when we eat from those animal communities, we are dishonoring the animals, dishonoring the sacrifice those animals are making to save our lives, and we are destroying our own ability to be in right relationship with those animal communities.

For us to be healthy and strong, for us to be good and honorable, we stay close to this and must be very mindful of it at all times.
