LinkedInHere's another one for your GMO scrapbook. Apparently independent scientists in France(yes, they still have them there), have conducted a study demonstrating a possible link between GMO modified plants and various cancers, and this one has to be seen to be believed: New Study Finds GM Corn and Roundup Causes Cancer In Rats Here's the paragraphs that jumped out at me(in addition to the pictures): "The results of this new study are doubly concerning. Not only has the consumption of a genetically modified food crop (NK603 maize, which is approved in the US for human consumption) now been … [Read more...]
RT (RUSSIA TODAY) REVEALS STUDY ON GMO CORN
April 23, 2013 By
Once again, RT (Russia Today) is running a story that you'll never see on American (and probably Canadian, British, Australian, or New Zealand TV, and we might be hard pressed to find it ins continental European media), and it concerns the nutritional value of GMO corn. Now here's the story as RT ran it, incidentally, on the same day as the Boston marathon bombing: Study reveals GMO corn to be highly toxic And if you're one of those who mistrusts any report coming out of Russia on principle (I'm not, or rather, I am considerably more inclined to mistrust SeeBS, CNoNews, Faux News or … [Read more...]

TIDBIT: IN CASE YOU HAVEN’T HEARD, EATING GMOS IS POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS TO YOUR HEALTH
January 28, 2013 By
...oh by the way, in case you haven't heard, eating GMOs is looking to be increasingly hazardous to your health: Regulators Discover a Hidden Viral Gene in Commercial GMO Crops And consider the following two paragraphs carefully: "The researchers themselves concluded that the presence of segments of Gene VI “might result in unintended phenotypic changes”. They reached this conclusion because similar fragments of Gene VI have already been shown to be active on their own (e.g. De Tapia et al. 1993). In other words, the EFSA researchers were unable to rule out a hazard to public health … [Read more...]
GMOS: THE LATEST: INDIA NOW REQUIRES GMO FOOD LABELING
January 20, 2013 By
Well there is a bit of good news on the GMO front, at least in Asia, for India has now passed laws requiring that GMO food products be appropriately labelled: India Signs Mandatory GMO Labeling into Law As the article notes, India joins a growing list of countries - Poland, France, Hungary, Germany, Canada, to name but a few - whose governments appear at least semi-responsive to their citizenry and the common sense concerns over GMOs.

Well, if you've been holding your breath waiting for the Amerikan lamestream media to report anything about the GMO foods debate, you're probably turning purple by now. And here's a story that you probably didn't hear about while you were holding your breath: Farmers demand an appeal in Monsanto GMO case The essence of this lawsuit is here: "Last February, District Court Judge Naomi Buchwald dismissed a lawsuit filed by the Organic Seed Growers and Trade Association in which the plaintiffs sought legal protection from Monsanto, a billion-dollar corporation that has grown exponentially … [Read more...]
POLAND JOINS GROWING LIST OF NATIONS BANNING GMOS
January 15, 2013 By
Well....now it's Poland. This nation has joined the growing list of countries, particularly in Europe, that are displaying some rationality and caution with respect to Duponzanto and Mon(ster)santo and the bland corporate and US government assurances that GMOs are entirely safe, when a growing body of evidence suggests that there are indeed horizontal transfers from GMOs to those organisms consuming them. In any case, back to Poland. Here is the article: Poland Bans Genetically Modified Crops Now, let's look at something from this article carefully. Imagine reading the following … [Read more...]
NOW IT’S FRANKENFISH
January 10, 2013 By
As most of you know, I've been very concerned on this site about the phenomenon of genetically modified organisms entering our food supply. While I have talked mostly about Duponzanto's genetically modified crops - and the government and legal abuses accompanying them, in Transhumanism: A Grimoir of Alchemical Agendas my co-author Scott de Hart and I also talked about the modification of animal organisms. Our concerns when we wrote that book were about the possibility of engineered genetic mutations jumping from one species(the genetically modified plant) to another (humans). And I have also … [Read more...]

December 6, 2012 By
I had fully intended to blog about this is the coming week but other things are also crowding out the schedule, so I had to pass along this important article, for it's yet more proof that the public good be damned, the government is a government of the oligarchs, by the oligarchs, and for the oligarchs: DOJ Stops Monsanto Investigation … [Read more...]
