Contradicting promises he once made back on the campaign trail to
protect the environment and defend the public against unscrupulous
corporate interests, Barack Obama is currently pushing for the
establishment of two new "free trade" agreements that would not only
allow corporations to undermine the rule of law here in the U.S., but
also railroad through forced acceptance of genetically-modified
organisms (GMOs) in the European Union (EU) and elsewhere, where
existing regulatory policies largely prohibit their cultivation and
unlabeled sale.
Known individually as the U.S.-EU Transatlantic Trade and Investment
Partnership (TTIP) and the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TTP), the two
agreements, which are currently being negotiated, would eliminate a
number of so-called trade barriers that restrict how multi-national
corporations can conduct their businesses. Besides threatening to
deconstruct all sorts of environmental protections and labor standards,
TTIP and TTP would also make it easier for private corporate interests
to dictate agricultural policy, particularly in areas of the world where
GMOs have been rejected by the people.
Of primary concern is the EU, where regulators have been busy fighting
off aggressive biotechnology interests that are hell-bent on forcing
public acceptance of GMOs. Under TTIP, so-called "regulatory barriers"
that leaked drafts have dubbed "unnecessary" would be lifted in order to
take advantage of "the untapped potential of a truly transatlantic
market place." Among these alleged "barriers" are current EU
restrictions on GMOs, which the European public has made very clear it does not want in its food supply.
According to Corporate Europe Observatory (CEO), a cohort of
corporate lobbying groups has already made its collective voice heard on
how it wants TTIP standards to be crafted, and the Obama
administration appears to be in full agreement with the agenda. Put
simply, the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries, in
conjunction with the biotechnology industry, have made it clear that
their ultimate goal is to "harmonize" EU policies with those of the U.S.
in order to promote a system of agricultural trade with few rules and
regulations.
"EU-US trade negotiations will offer many US firms a second chance to get their interests implemented effectively in Europe," writes professional lobbyist Andreas Geiger for TheHill.com.
"US seed companies that for a decade have been struggling to break the
deadlock over the authorization for the cultivation of their [GM] seeds
now will be presented with the ultimate opportunity to change the entire
process to suit their needs."
Obama, the lying traitor who has sold out the American people to serve his evil masters
With this gross liberalization of agricultural trade policy will also
come the elimination of American law as an authoritative force in
guiding corporate behavior, including corporations that are based in the
U.S. As explained in-depth over at U.S. News & World Report,
international, extrajudicial "investor-state" tribunals run by
corporations will dictate how trade disputes are to be handled,
effectively bypassing the legal justice system designed to protect
public interest.
"Foreign corporations operating within the U.S. would be permitted to
appeal key American legal or regulatory rulings to an international
tribunal," writes Zach Carter for the Huffington Post. "That
international tribunal would be granted the power to overrule American
law," and even proceed to exploit the legal system for the purpose of
extracting money from taxpayers in the process.
As pointed out by Michael Shank from U.S. News & World Report,
Obama decried these types of exploitations while on the campaign trail,
specifically promising not to negotiate any trade agreements that would
eliminate protections for the environment, food safety, and citizen
health. But now he is doing the exact opposite, pushing for agreements
that would fully gut what little protections remain and hand over the
keys to the kingdom to corporate interests.
I
never thought I would be talking about genetically modified people
outside of pitching some new science fiction movie to the predictive
programming industry called Hollywood. Instead I find the government
admitting to secret tests being conducted on soldiers in order to
genetically modify their abilities. The agency in charge of this Island of doctor Moreau research
just happens to be the same department responsible for making drones
and surveillance robots that will be used to gather up dissidents during
the coming conflagration.
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is an agency of
the United States Department of Defense that receive over 2 billion
dollars annually to conduct secret experimentation’s on soldiers and to
create an Orwellian programmed robotic police force that will be used
domestically as well as abroad. The manipulation of the human genome is
perhaps the most disturbing demonstration of human arrogance this
century has yet begun to exploit. DARPA has recently released some of
the details to the genes they are manipulating and their expected
expression and possible application. Here is a list of the current
experimentation’s that have been conducted in secrecy on soldiers in the
United States military or at least some of the recent confession from
the military industrial pharmaceutical complex:
Do you want a soldier that can run faster than an Olympic Athlete?
Do you want a soldier that won’t need food or sleep for days?
Do you want a soldier that can regrow lost limbs?
Do you want a soldier that can out lift Olympic weightlifters?
Do you want a soldier that can communicate telepathically?
Genetically Modified Soldiers?
All of these manipulations to the human genome will eventually be
pushed into the public sector to cash in on all the money that would be
made from pills that will enhance your appearance and abilities. Just
imagine how much revenue would be generated by a pill that could convert
fat into energy or keep you awake for days on end with no need to worry
about exercise or your dietary intake. Professor Joel Garreau of
Arizona University confirmed that DARPA was experimenting with turning
fat into energy. He recently disclosed this information to thedailymail stating,
‘Finding that metabolic switch would wipe out the £40billion diet
industry in a heartbeat’. This is a covert way of saying it could create
a monopoly that would destroy all its competitors which is the chosen
model for the eugenicists natural selection propagandist. Gene therapy
will be hitting the market in the next decade offering enhancements that
at first will seem innocuous like changing the color of your eyes but
in the end this blending of the human genome will only lead to mutations
Mother Nature will create from our own arrogance.

On one of the highest hilltops in Elbert County, Georgia stands a huge
granite monument. Engraved in eight different languages on the four
giant stones that support the common capstone are 10 Guides, or
commandments. That monument is alternately referred to as The Georgia
Guidestones, or the American Stonehenge. Though relatively unknown to
most people, it is an important link to the Occult Hierarchy that
dominates the world in which we live.
The origin of that strange monument is shrouded in mystery because no
one knows the true identity of the man, or men, who commissioned its
construction. All that is known for certain is that in June 1979, a
well-dressed, articulate stranger visited the office of the Elberton
Granite Finishing Company and announced that he wanted to build an
edifice to transmit a message to mankind. He identified himself as R. C.
Christian, but it soon became apparent that was not his real name. He
said that he represented a group of men who wanted to offer direction to
humanity, but to date, almost two decades later, no one knows who R. C.
Christian really was, or the names of those he represented. Several
things are apparent. The messages engraved on the Georgia Guidestones
deal with four major fields: (1) Governance and the establishment of a
world government, (2) Population and reproduction control, (3) The
environment and man's relationship to nature, and (4) Spirituality.
In the public library in Elberton, I found a book written by the man who
called himself R.C. Christian. I discovered that the monument he
commissioned had been erected in recognition of Thomas Paine and the
occult philosophy he espoused. Indeed, the Georgia Guidestones are used
for occult ceremonies and mystic celebrations to this very day.
Tragically, only one religious leader in the area had the courage to
speak out against the American Stonehenge, and he has recently relocated
his ministry. THE MESSAGE OF THE GEORGIA GUIDESTONES
1. Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.
2. Guide reproduction wisely - improving fitness and diversity.
3. Unite humanity with a living new language.
4. Rule passion - faith - tradition - and all things with tempered reason.
5. Protect people and nations with fair laws and just courts.
6. Let all nations rule internally resolving external disputes in a world court.
7. Avoid petty laws and useless officials.
8. Balance personal rights with social duties.
9. Prize truth - beauty - love - seeking harmony with the infinite.
10.Be not a cancer on the earth - Leave room for nature - Leave room for nature.
Limiting the population of the earth to 500 million will require the
extermination of nine-tenths of the world's people. The American
Stonehenge's reference to establishing a world court foreshadows the
current move to create an International Criminal Court and a world
government. The Guidestones' emphasis on preserving nature anticipates
the environmental movement of the 1990s, and the reference to "seeking
harmony with the infinite" reflects the current effort to replace
Judeo-Christian beliefs with a new spirituality.
The message of the American Stonehenge also foreshadowed the current
drive for Sustainable Development. Any time you hear the phrase
"Sustainable Development" used, you should substitute the term
"socialism" to be able to understand what is intended. Later in this
syllabus you will read the full text of the Earth Charter which was
compiled under the direction of Mikhail Gorbachev and Maurice Strong. In
that document you will find an emphasis on the same basic issues:
control of reproduction, world governance, the importance of nature and
the environment, and a new spirituality. The similarity between the
ideas engraved on the Georgia Guidestones and those espoused in the
Earth Charter reflect the common origins of both.
Yoko Ono, the widow of John Lennon, was recently quoted as referring to the American Stonehenge, saying: "I want people to know about the stones ... We're headed toward a world
where we might blow ourselves up and maybe the globe will not exist ...
it's a nice time to reaffirm ourselves, knowing all the beautiful things that
are in this country and the Georgia Stones symbolize that. " (1)
What is the true significance of the American Stonehenge, and why is its
covert message important? Because it confirms the fact that there was a
covert group intent on
(1) Dramatically reducing the population of the world.
(2) Promoting environmentalism.
(3) Establishing a world government.
(4) Promoting a new spirituality.
Certainly the group that commissioned the Georgia Guidestones is one of
many similar groups working together toward a New World Order, a new
world economic system, and a new world spirituality. Behind those
groups, however, are dark spiritual forces. Without understanding the
nature of those dark forces it is impossible to understand the unfolding
of world events.
The fact that most Americans have never heard of the Georgia Guidestones
or their message to humanity reflects the degree of control that exists
today over what the American people think. We ignore that message at
our peril.
Copies are available for researchers from Radio Liberty.
The Age of Reason was a book written by Thomas Paine.
Its intent was to destroy the Judeo-Christian beliefs upon which our
Republic was founded.
The hole that you see in the stone was drilled in the Center Stone so
that the North Star could be visualized through it at any moment. This
was one of several requirements stipulated by R.C.Christian
for the building of the American Stonehenge and reflects his obsession
with the alignment of the stars, the sun, and the moon. Occultists often
worship the alignment and movement of heavenly bodies as part of their
religious ceremonies
Are You Ready For
Genetically Modified Cattle?
By Andrew Hunt
Friday, May 18th, 2012
The recent announcement by Canadian Dairy Network, Holstein Canada,
Pfizer Animal Health, The Semex Alliance and its owner partners to
support delivery of genetic services to the Canadian dairy industry got
me thinking about what the future holds for the dairy breeding industry.
This alliance has me drawing parallels to what has occurred in the
corn industry and the effects that had on consumers as well as
producers.
While the announcement just covers the identification of genetic markers
that has already revolutionized the dairy breeding industry, the part
that catches my attention is a company the size of Pfizer entering into
the marketplace. When Monsanto entered into the corn breeding industry,
it not only became a competitor to the other established players but it
also used its vast resources to take the process to a completely new
level. While Monsanto had been a market leader for many years in the
sale of herbicides this research gave them the ability to apply their
expertise on the genetic level.
With Pfizer entering the genomics game, does that mean that we will
start to see them offer their own genetics available for sale that have
been bred or rather modified to be disease resistant or even worse
modified to produce more milk, or have better feet and legs. If you
thought the manipulation of photos to make cattle look better was an
issue (read more here Has Photo Enhancement Gone Too Far), what happens
when they can do it on the genomic level? While the practical side of
me sees how having cattle that are more disease resistant, that is
polled and milk 20,000 kgs, for 10+ lacations would be beneficial, the
breeder in me has concerns. Part of what makes animal breeding great is
the fact that it’s an art form. What happens when that art form is
handed over to science?
One thing that you will know for sure is that the sale of animal
genetics will become a commoditized market place dominated by the big
players such as Pfizer, Monsanto, and other multinational conglomerates.
While there is no question that these conglomerates will dominate over
the average breeder, they will also dominate over the current major
A.I. companies. It has me asking myself “Is this move by Semex a step
in building a partnership because they see the future coming?” If so
good on them for at least being proactive and at least trying to sustain
their long-term viability.
If it’s more by chance, as I think it is, I think the whole industry
needs to look at what the future holds and maybe have a wakeup call to
where this is all heading. Animal breeding is becoming big business, as
evidenced by companies like Select Sires that have expanded their
breeding programs to include owning females (read more about this at
Should A.I. Companies Own Females?). As the ability to deliver
predictable results at a lower cost of development continues, larger and
larger companies will enter the marketplace and begin to dominate the
current players.
In the past, dairy cattle breeding has benefited from great moves, such
as happened when T.B. Macauley, an insurance executive, started Montvic,
when J. Rockafeller Prentice, from oil and banking fame, started A.B.S.
and, likewise, when Peter Heffering, using outside industry investors,
collected great cows and started Hanover Hill Holsteins.
There is also the consumer side to this equation. We all witnessed
consumer reaction to the use of rBST. Over time while there has
remained a small portion of the marketplace that actively buys non-rBST
milk. However, for the most part the issue has died off. In the same
way, the GMO corn issue has died off and much of the general public is
not even aware that it exists. Thus, there may be uproar as this “new
technology” enters the marketplace, however, in time, the result will be
the same for this commoditized product. As long as the cost to
consumer is lower, they will buy it.
The Bullvine Bottom Line
On the one hand, Thanks to genomics, the future of the animal breeding
industry has never look brighter. On the other hand, it also may be
facing its greatest risk. Genomics has taken animal breeding from an art
form to a science. Furthermore, science will continue to define and
refine the process. With companies like Pfizer entering the marketplace
this process will be accelerated at a completely new pace. Those
players that have the most resources available will also dominate it.
This means that the average breeder, as well as the current A.I.
companies, need to realistically consider what the future holds as this
happens.
So my question to you is, are you ready for GMC (Genetically Modified
Cattle)?

The following disturbing photos were reportedly taken in an organic garden near Portland, Oregon recently. These gross mutations are likely the result of
the severe radiation and hot particles that blanketed the West Coast
from the Fukushima nuclear disaster after 3-11-11.
Frankenscientists Announce Mutant GMO Cows to Produce Hormone-Induced ‘Engineered’ Milk for Human Babies
The world of genetic engineering has fallen even further into the surreal with the announcement that New Zealand “scientists” have unveiled a genetically modified mutant cloned cow which they say produces a reduced-allergen milk for consumption by human babies. This is being reported by the BBC and elsewhere.
Horrifyingly, these Frankenscientists cloned a cow and then altered the embryo using RNA interference. After gestation, the mutant GMO cow was born without a tail! But these scientists say that’s no problem, and that the mutation of having no tail couldn’t possibly be related to anything they did with the cow’s DNA.
I’m not making this up. This is the insanity of the quack science world in which we now live.
Milk causes allergies primarily because of pasteurization
The entire project is a fool’s errand to begin with since the reason most humans are allergic to cow’s milk is because of pasteurization which
destroys lactase enzymes. RAW MILK is far easier to digest, but of
course raw milk has been all but criminalized in America, where the FDA
along with Ventura County and LA County in California actually stage armed raids on raw milk distribution centers and
throw people in jail. James Stewart, for example, remains in jail this
very day for the “crime” of being involved in raw milk. Sign the petition HERE to demand freedom for James.
So while criminalizing fresh milk and
pushing an inferior, dead, pasteurized milk that causes allergies in
those who drink it, the corrupt food system in America is almost certain
to embrace mutant genetically modified cloned cow’s milk and call it “safe” for infants!
Never mind the fact that the genetically altered milk produced by this cow had “double the concentrations of caseins,” as The Guardnia is reporting.
Oh, and by the way, the milk being
produced by this mutant, cloned, tail-less GMO cow is of course 100%
driven by artificial hormones! As the BBC reports:
“It has not yet become pregnant and produced milk normally so the scientists used hormones to jump-start milk production.”
How to make a mutant GM cow and tell your friends you’re a mad scientist
This story gets even more disturbing. Take a look at how this cow was produced! According to The Guardian:
To make Daisy [the cow], scientists
took a cow skin cell and genetically modified it to produce molecules
that block the manufacture of BLG protein. The nucleus of this cell was
then transferred into a cow egg that had its own nucleus removed.
The reconstituted egg was grown in the
lab until it formed what is called a blastocyst, a ball of around 100
cells, and then transplanted into the womb of a foster cow.
The cloning technique is not efficient.
Of around 100 blastocysts the scientists implanted into cows, more than
half of the pregnancies failed early on, and only one live calf, Daisy,
was born.
And even that calf was a mutant calf, born without a tail, rendering the whole thing a horrifying example of genetic mutilation.
STOP the genetic mutilation of animals and humans
These outrageous experiments on animals
are rightly called “genetic mutilation.” These animals are being
mutilated. Ninety-nine percent of them DIE before they’re even born, and
the ones that somehow manage to be born are mutants.
This research is a dangerous journey
into the horrors of “unanticipated consequences.” And to think… these
Frankenscientists want human babies to drink this milk! It must be great for babies!
So let me get this straight: It’s
illegal in America to milk a cow, sell that fresh milk to a neighbor and
have their baby drink fresh milk with all the digestive enzymes
intact. But it’s perfectly acceptable in our world to engineer mutant
cloned genetically modified cows to produce hormone-induced,
artificially-engineered milk that will be fed en masse to human babies?
What’s wrong with this picture?
Humanity is risking a genetic apocalypse
This has got to stop, friends. The mad GMO scientists are operating in gross violation of natural law. They are playing genetic roulette with Mother
Nature. They’re fumbling in the dark with dangerous tools, like
children with suitcase nukes and a happy red button that seems inviting
to just push and see what happens.
Our modern-day human civilization has
neither the ethical foundation nor the wisdom to pursue such
technologies. Altering the digital code for the expression of life is
not something to be pursued under the crude selfishness of corporate
greed, nor the wild fantasies of naive scientists who relish in playing
“what if” experiments with all remaining life on our planet.
These experiments on animals — and crops — are worse than foolish. They are inherently evil…
even demented. Just because we know how to alter DNA doesn’t mean we
have the wisdom to understand the consequences of doing so. Yet in the
race for the next biological profit machine — a cow, a crop, or even a pharmaceutical — caution is thrown out the window and replaced by pure mindless greed.
No one knows what happens when the genetic engineering of mutant chimera animals get unleashed across the land. Nobody really knows the long-term effects of genetic pollution. Nobody even knows the long-term effects of humans eating GM crops!
So it’s all a grand, malicious, conceited genetic experiment being carried out on us all: our bodies, our children, our lands, our animals, our crops and our planet.
The GM “scientists” are risking EVERYTHING. And they do so blindly, while mutilating animals and calling it “progress.”
It is disgusting. It is an abomination. I
pray for the sake of humanity that all genetic engineering activity in
our planet is halted by any means necessary.
We are floating through space, my friends, on a blue ball of water inhabited by fools who call themselves “scientists.”
They risk everything. And there is no backup plan.
Spread the word. SHARE this story.
STOP the genetic mutilation of animals. HALT GMO crops and save our
planet from the risk of total disaste
While I was listening to a recent interview with Graham Hancock about his new novel and his TED lecture,
the startling claim was made that Russian President Vladimir Putin
commented that war might be a necessary result of the Monsanto
Protection Act. I was skeptical, but did a little digging around, and it
turns out the story checks out…
The shocking minutes relating to President Putin’s meeting last month
with US Secretary of State John Kerry reveal the Russian leaders
“extreme outrage” over the Obama regimes continued protection of global
seed and plant bio-genetic giants Syngenta and Monsanto in the face of a
growing “bee apocalypse” that the Kremlin warns “will most certainly”
lead to world war.
According to these minutes, released in the Kremlin today by the
Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment of the Russian Federation (MNRE), Putin was so incensed over the Obama regimes refusal to discuss this grave matter that he refused for three hours to
even meet with Kerry, who had traveled to Moscow on a scheduled
diplomatic mission, but then relented so as to not cause an even greater
rift between these two nations.
At the center of this dispute between Russia and the US, this MNRE
report says, is the “undisputed evidence” that a class of neuro-active
insecticides chemically related to nicotine, known as neonicotinoids,
are destroying our planets bee population, and which if left unchecked
could destroy our world’s ability to grow enough food to feed its
population.
So grave has this situation become, the MNRE reports, the full
European Commission (EC) this past week instituted a two-year
precautionary ban (set to begin on 1 December 2013) on these “bee killing” pesticides following
the lead of Switzerland, France, Italy, Russia, Slovenia and Ukraine,
all of whom had previously banned these most dangerous of genetically
altered organisms from being used on the continent.
Two of the most feared neonicotinoids being banned are Actara and Cruiser made by the Swiss global bio-tech seed and pesticide giant Syngenta AG which
employs over 26,000 people in over 90 countries and ranks third in
total global sales in the commercial agricultural seeds market.
Important to note, this report says, is that Syngenta, along with bio-tech giants Monsanto, Bayer, Dow and DuPont, now control nearly 100% of the global market for genetically modified pesticides, plants and seeds.
Also to note about Syngenta, this report continues, is that in 2012 it was criminally charged in Germany for concealing the fact that its genetically modified corn killed cattle, and settled a class-action lawsuit in the US for $105 million after
it was discovered they had contaminated the drinking supply of some 52
million Americans in more than 2,000 water districts with its “gender-bending” herbicide Atrazine.
To how staggeringly frightful this situation is, the MNRE says, can
be seen in the report issued this past March by the American Bird
Conservancy (ABC) wherein they warned our whole planet is in danger, and as we can, in part, read:
“As part of a study on impacts from the world’s most widely used
class of insecticides, nicotine-like chemicals called neonicotinoids,
American Bird Conservancy (ABC) has called for a ban on their use as
seed treatments and for the suspension of all applications pending an
independent review of the products’ effects on birds, terrestrial and
aquatic invertebrates, and other wildlife.
“It is clear that these chemicals have the potential to affect entire
food chains. The environmental persistence of the neonicotinoids, their
propensity for runoff and for groundwater infiltration, and their
cumulative and largely irreversible mode of action in invertebrates
raise significant environmental concerns,” said Cynthia Palmer,
co-author of the report and Pesticides Program Manager for ABC, one of
the nation’s leading bird conservation organizations.
ABC commissioned world renowned environmental toxicologist Dr. Pierre
Mineau to conduct the research. The 100-page report, “The Impact of the
Nation’s Most Widely Used Insecticides on Birds,” reviews 200 studies
on neonicotinoids including industry research obtained through the US
Freedom of Information Act. The report evaluates the toxicological risk
to birds and aquatic systems and includes extensive comparisons with the
older pesticides that the neonicotinoids have replaced. The assessment
concludes that the neonicotinoids are lethal to birds and to the aquatic
systems on which they depend.
“A single corn kernel coated with a neonicotinoid can kill a
songbird,” Palmer said. “Even a tiny grain of wheat or canola treated
with the oldest neonicotinoid — called imidacloprid — can fatally poison
a bird. And as little as 1/10th of a neonicotinoid-coated corn seed per
day during egg-laying season is all that is needed to affect
reproduction.”
The new report concludes that neonicotinoid contamination levels in
both surface- and ground water in the United States and around the world
are already beyond the threshold found to kill many aquatic
invertebrates.”
Quickly following this damning report, the MRNE says, a large group
of group of American beekeepers and environmentalists sued the Obama
regime over the continued use of these neonicotinoids stating: “We
are taking the EPA to court for its failure to protect bees from
pesticides. Despite our best efforts to warn the agency about the
problems posed by neonicotinoids, the EPA continued to ignore the clear
warning signs of an agricultural system in trouble.”
And to how bad the world’s agricultural system has really become due
to these genetically modified plants, pesticides and seeds, this report
continues, can be seen by the EC’s proposal this past week, following
their ban on neonicotinoids, in which they plan to criminalize nearly
all seeds and plants not registered with the European Union, and as we can, in part, read:
“Europe is rushing towards the good ol days circa 1939,
40… A new law proposed by the European Commission would make it illegal
to “grow, reproduce or trade” any vegetable seeds that have not been
“tested, approved and accepted” by a new EU bureaucracy named the “EU
Plant Variety Agency.”
It’s called the Plant Reproductive Material Law, and it attempts to
put the government in charge of virtually all plants and seeds. Home
gardeners who grow their own plants from non-regulated seeds would be
considered criminals under this law.”
“After his victory in the 2008 election, Obama filled key
posts with Monsanto people, in federal agencies that wield tremendous
force in food issues, the USDA and the FDA: At the USDA, as the director
of the National Institute of Food and Agriculture, Roger Beachy, former
director of the Monsanto Danforth Center. As deputy commissioner of the
FDA, the new food-safety-issues czar, the infamous Michael Taylor,
former vice-president for public policy for Monsanto. Taylor had been
instrumental in getting approval for Monsanto’s genetically engineered
bovine growth hormone.”
“The US House of Representatives quietly passed a
last-minute addition to the Agricultural Appropriations Bill for 2013
last week – including a provision protecting genetically modified seeds
from litigation in the face of health risks.
The rider, which is officially known as the Farmer Assurance
Provision, has been derided by opponents of biotech lobbying as the
“Monsanto Protection Act,” as it would strip federal courts of the
authority to immediately halt the planting and sale of genetically
modified (GMO) seed crop regardless of any consumer health concerns.
The provision, also decried as a “biotech rider,” should have gone
through the Agricultural or Judiciary Committees for review. Instead, no
hearings were held, and the piece was evidently unknown to most
Democrats (who hold the majority in the Senate) prior to its approval as
part of HR 993, the short-term funding bill that was approved to avoid a
federal government shutdown.”
The leaders of Big Agriculture--Monsanto, DuPont, Syngenta--are
determined that world's populations remain ignorant about the serious
health and environmental risks of genetically modified crops and
industrial agriculture. Deep layers of deception and corruption
underlie both the science favoring GMOs and the corporations and
governments supporting them.
This award-winning documentary,
Seeds of Death, exposes the lies about GMOs and pulls back the curtains
to witness our planet's future if Big Agriculture's new green revolution
becomes our dominant food supply.
