This is just nuts. (Pun intended)… Get this, I looked up the shelled pistachio nuts, which I love & eat from Costco. I found out that they get 99% of all their pistachios from California. So then I looked up what farms they get them from in California and this is what I found…that Setton Farms and Nichols Farms, as well as Wonderful Pistachios is where Costco gets their pistachios. They pool them all together and bag them up for us to eat so there’s no differentiation at all from the farms. So with each nut I eat, I could be eating one from Setton Farms or Nichols Farms or (not so) Wonderful. 😕 This is sad. Thanks for the research on this article Maddie.

Boycott Kirkland brand pistachios!!!

Miss Guided's avatar

Download the NO Thanks app. Scan the barcode and it will tell you if it’s an evil company or not. There are so many other brands. You can also go to Afghan or Iranian (Persian) grocery stores, and you’ll find great quality pistachios there too.

Where shall I get pistachios then?? Any suggestions?

Desert Researcher's avatar

Thank you for the information on the app. I will definitely check it out! But I have no Persian or Iranian grocery stores near me where I live at all. Thanks again for knowledge on the app.

Why the hell do we NEED bottled water anyway??!!?? I’m 81 and I have plenty of alternatives! Most of my life I was nicely hydrated, even though bottled (tap-) water hadn’t been “invented”. And those huge plastic bottles! So much pollution! It’s crazy!!!!

Jessica Johnson's avatar

Girl right? Water should be a right, not a luxury! And plastic bottles isn’t exactly great for the environment either.

Thanks for pointing out the Kirkland brand connection. I am not surprised about the Costco/Resnick connection. As one of my neighbors says in reference to Costco, 'I am going to get groceries from the Zionists by the mall.' The last couple of times I bought pistachios from Costco I found may rotten ones. Now I now they are physically and metaphysically bad...

Thank you for this and your other reporting on which brands support the Zionist entity. Very useful information.

They also own Wonderful citrus which is headquartered in the Central Valley of California but has operations in Texas and Mexico as well. Watch season 3 of Goliath. This season is loosely based on the Resnicks and the Wonderful Citrus. Halos - the little easy peel Mandarins - those are the Resnicks. Paramount Citrus (lemons and limes) - those are the Resnicks. Ruby Red Grapefeuit (from Texas) - those are the Resnicks.

one more member of the order by another name. Only way to stop handing them money is to grow your own food. Provide your own water. As long as money exists this same scenario will continue. All corporations are in the club.

Say Resnick, flush because stinks like shit.

Years ago, I found out that Halo's (oranges, other citrus, ect) uses FRACKING WATER to water their trees/produce!

Those who do not know what FRACKING water is........WHY don't you??

HINT: It's HIGHLY TOXIC!

Also, YEARS ago (before going ORGANIC), I had frozen (peeled & sectioned) Halo oranges, and when I went to eat some, while still frozen, they tasted GROSS......like CHEMICALS.

I threw them all out!

It was a few years later, that I'd learned about Halo using FRACKING water, to water their groves, and I instantly remembered the gross taste of their oranges, that I had thrown out.

May we very soon have likeminded comradery to expel all of the Zionazis from "our" beloved country! MAKE IT our country again; make it OUR government again, make it TRULY "OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE, *FOR* THE PEOPLE"!!!!! Make us Truly Free like we've never been before!

No wonder there was resistance within the U.S. government back in the 1920s and '30s to allowing Ashkenazim emigrants to immigrate into our country. They are long-known "'takeoverers'-of-everything", including governments; and it was also known that once they completely took over, it would be FAR from pretty; and, thus, they were expelled from several countries. Not all of them, but most of the Zionists takeover EVERYTHING. They own much of the U.S. and the world, and they DON'T mean us well. [Maddie's article on the Resnicks being a prime example---they are privatizing all or most of our water, and taking many things out of the hands of the government. And, on top of that, they've already taken over "our", and all of the rest of the Western, government(s).]

If we don't get these literal parasites-of-mass-murder-and-child-rape out of the U.S., et al., most of us will soon be dead, if we won't already be! This is NOT racism, this is preservation of all that we should hold dear above all else OTHER THAN GOD: liberty, freedom and the rule of law! NO MORE OF THE LAWLESSNESS AND PERVERSION(S) OF THE REVELATION 2:9 AND 3:9 FAKE "JEWS" KNOWN AS THE ASHKENAZI ZIONISTS! THIS IS PRESERVATION OF OUR LIVES AND THE CONTINUED LIFE OF OUR PLANET THAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE THE *STEWARDS* OF, NOT THE DESTROYERS OF! DON'T LET THESE HORRIFIC GENOCIDAL PEOPLE CONTINUE TO TAKEOVER EVERYTHING AND DECIDE OUR FATE! THEY ARE SATANISTS (PEOPLE WHO HAVE SATAN AS THEIR LORD AND MASTER)! STOP LETTING SATAN TAKEOVER! TAKE BACK OUR WORLD FOR THE ONE AND *ONLY* TRUE FATHER-GOD OF THE UNIVERSE, AND HIS SON JESUS, THE ONE AND *ONLY* TRUE MESSIAH!

A Herman Hesse fan for sure.

Wolf-Steppen's avatar

What does that mean? What did I say in that comment that gives you that impression? And, if it's true, what difference does it make? Are you saying that because Hesse was anti-fascism; and, if so, so what? What's your point? Are you denigrating Hesse? I've noticed that the last few years there has been a, probably AI-run program, to attempt to discredit Hesse, making him out to be an "alcoholic", and falsely trying to make him look bad. I guess everyone who is anti-fascism is now "banned" and/or "discredited"?

They also.own Figi water

Yep, I mentioned that in the article :)

Not to be pro-Resnick, but California pistachios effectively replaced Iranian pistachios decades ago after the 1979 Iranian revolution. When I was a kid, pistachios came from Iran and were dyed red to disguise the defects, and the red dye got all over your fingers and other things when you ate them. Of course it takes water to grow them (like any other crop).

The Resnicks and other farmers who opted to grow them took advantage of what turned out to be a good opportunity. The California ones are much better and no red dye is needed, regardless of who owns or grows them. And whoever owns them and grows them is going to use a lot of water. It is no surprise that Jewish businessmen are among them.

Now, a separate issue is Jewish billionaires and how they make their money and exert their influence and control in politics, business, and other areas. There is much to criticize.

Jewish billionaires actually own and control much of the world's wealth and therefore have undue influence. If the wealth is not directly owned it is held and exercised by Jewish owned and/or controlled corporations like BlackRock, State Street, and Vanguard in the US and “The City of London” in the UK.

A notable trend is that they are largely responsible for bringing H-1B Indians to White Western companies and placing them in our corporations and politics to act as puppets and displacing White people. All White countries are being flooded with them.

How do you define "White" people? By using the "one drop rule" or is 1 drop a bit too strict? In other words, when is white not white anymore and amounts to a threat to the Aryans?

And where do you classify a Biden and a Trump, both presumably totally white by your definition, yet who are responsible for destroying that wonderful white U.S. society that was founded on a landgrab from and genocide of those no-white savages?

What I meant by "White people" are those who create and maintain high -trust and high functioning civilizations. Their societies are (or at least used to be before immigration) orderly, safe, clean and well-governed. They would include East Asian "yellow" countries like Singapore, South Korea, and Japan as well.

Now, think of countries that are at the opposite end of the scale. They are all black and brown. "White" (and Asian) countries don't need their dysfunctional third world populations coming to them. It is of no benefit for the civilized countries, or even good for the third world immigrants who would be better served by having their best and brightest stay home and help fix their own countries, perhaps with help from the West.

As for your "one - drop threat to Aryans", "Biden and Trump", and "landgrab and genocide" bullshit - I never said anything about any of that. Those are your issues - and I am not going to be baited into discussing any of that with you.

> "They would include East Asian "yellow" countries like Singapore, South Korea, and Japan as well."

Curious you leave out China, as well as other countries such as Vietnam, Thailand, ...

You don't consider those "orderly, safe, clean and well-governed", yet " high -trust and high functioning civilizations" like the U.S. and Europe have been going around the world bombing, destroying, exploiting other countries into dysfunctional entities in order to steal their resources.

Do you really think people want to leave their black and brown countries just for the sake of it, or could it be a consequence of what the highly "civilized" West has been doing to them for centuries?

> "As for your "one - drop threat to Aryans" ...... I am not going to be baited into discussing any of that with you.

I did not try to bait you into anything, but since you did not explain in your original comment what you meant by "White" I looked for clarification on it.

Robert's avatar

There are 195 countries in the world. Many of them are Asian. Was I supposed to list them all for you?

Are you wanting to parse my words in everything I write off the cuff? And insinuating things I did not say. Oh, sorry I didn't explain why ((($$$))) some people leave some countries and move to others. I'm making a brief comment not doing a PhD dissertation.

I re-read my original comment. It did not need to say anything about Asians because Asian countries are not being deluged with black and brown immigration.

I said White countries/companies to denote a certain category of countries. Those would be mostly in North America, Europe, Australia/New Zealand. Oops, I didn't say Russia - but again the blacks and browns are not going there. I did not even say "White people". What term should I have used, genius?

It was only in response to you that those came up, and now you are trying to milk that.

You will make some baiting or derogatory comment about what I say or don't say and the words I use or don't use.

And again you keep bringing up more issues like bombing and exploiting etc. I think you know (((who))) is behind much of that.

You have clearly demonstrated what you are - Go troll someplace else and get lost.

This is upsetting. I live in California’s Central Valley, where we grow most of the nation’s produce, and for years our almond farmers have been vilified for using “too much” water. All of our family farmers are told year after year to conserve, use less. Meanwhile some billionaire nut farmers in LA actually OWN California’s water?

MJ's avatar

Farmers in LA? They’re in the Central Valley growing pistachios and citrus!

Alyssa Mazzina's avatar

Yeah I saw after that they grow a lot here, of course they do, this is where everything grows. But they still live in LA and are billionaires stealing water from thousands of struggling family farmers in the valley.

How do we get back control of the public resources that the Resnicks appropriated to themselves in a back room deal? The concept of consent of the governed may apply. The citizens, every single one of them, in California and in all affected regions, have a material interest in participating in all decisions of this magnitude. This includes citizens of states and nations which rely on fish harvest, as California watersheds are home to ocean salmon, and citizens of states in the watersheds in which California participates in water rights negotiations (a deficit here creates a need that has to be filled there).

Secret negotiations that proceed without consent of the governed to the positions taken by their representatives, aren't valid negotiations.

Consent of the governed doesn't mean “you showed up in the birth certificate list so you consent” and consent isn't granted permanently. It's not even granted on a per administration basis. That's an English monarchical-parliamentarian notion, not an American notion. When the structure and process of Congress was being debated, agreement was only obtained by the use of a theory of consent of the governed which says that consent may be withdrawn at any time, and it's up to the citizens not the government which is contingently and guardedly elected to represent the citizens’ interests in all ways.
