THE GMO SCRAPBOOK: CHINESE RESEARCHERS FIND GMO RNA IN HUMAN BLOOD, ...

This is an issue that appears not to be going away, and it's worth rehearsing what the concern is. When Dr. DeHart and I wrote Transhumanism: A Grimoire of Alchemical Agendas, one of the concerns we speculated about was that genetically engineered crops might not be "recognized" by the human gastro-intestinal system, with the result that genes from such modified plants could enter the bloodstream, or human organs, and cause adverse health reactions. We even speculated that such modified genes might induce genetic modifications in the human genome through some unknown or unperceived mechanism. I've blogged on this site about the latter possibility before(not without some criticism incidentally), but have not blogged about the former possibility.

But it seems that researchers in China have now discovered the presence of such modified genetic material in the blood and organs of animals consuming GMOs:

Genetically modified genes on rice can now be seen in human blood and organs

There are two paragraphs here that grabbed my attention, and I hope yours. The first is this:

"Researchers at the Nanjing University in China have shown that small pieces of ribonucleic acid (RNA) of rice can be seen in the organs and blood of the humans that eat the rice.  The RNA is actually microRNA (miRNA).  It is incredibly small, but plays a role in such diseases as Alzheimer’s, Cancer and Diabetes.  MiRNA usually works to turn off or down the effects of certain genes.   The Chinese researchers found the rice miRNA binding to receptors in the liver.  The miRNA then affect how the body takes cholesterol from the blood."

Now this has obvious implications for the ingestion of GMO foods, and I imagine you've already seen what some of them are. But then there's this pithy comment from our friends at Mon(ster)santo:

"The Chinese study didn’t focus on GM foods, but it’s not hard to imagine the implication there.   Monsanto, a leading proponent of GMO foods, finds no need for alarm.  In fact, they state the following on their site, 'There is no need for, or value in testing the safety of GM foods in humans.'”

It doesn't get any plainer than that, but the real subtext here is that if Mon(ster)santo is really saying such things, then it is implicitly aware that some risk is involved, a sort of "nothing to see here, move along."

Well, one of the places I moved along to were some of the links provided at the bottom of the linked article, where I found this link from the World Health Organizaton, written in typically reassuring bureaucratese:

Frequently asked questions on genetically modified foods

This helpful site contained the following information, that left me rather stunned when I read it:

"3. Is the safety of GM foods assessed differently from conventional foods?

"Generally consumers consider that conventional foods (that have an established record of safe consumption over the history) are safe. Whenever novel varieties of organisms for food use are developed using the traditional breeding methods that had existed before the introduction of gene technology, some of the characteristics of organisms may be altered, either in a positive or a negative way. National food authorities may be called upon to examine the safety of such conventional foods obtained from novel varieties of organisms, but this is not always the case.

"In contrast, most national authorities consider that specific assessments are necessary for GM foods. Specific systems have been set up for the rigorous evaluation of GM organisms and GM foods relative to both human health and the environment. Similar evaluations are generally not performed for conventional foods. Hence there currently exists a significant difference in the evaluation process prior to marketing for these two groups of food."

And then a little further on, an even more stunning admission:

"5. What are the main issues of concern for human health?

"While theoretical discussions have covered a broad range of aspects, the three main issues debated are the potentials to provoke allergic reaction (allergenicity), gene transfer and outcrossing.

"Allergenicity

"As a matter of principle, the transfer of genes from commonly allergenic organisms to non-allergic organisms is discouraged unless it can be demonstrated that the protein product of the transferred gene is not allergenic. While foods developed using traditional breeding methods are not generally tested for allergenicity, protocols for the testing of GM foods have been evaluated by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and WHO. No allergic effects have been found relative to GM foods currently on the market.

"Gene transfer

"Gene transfer from GM foods to cells of the body or to bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract would cause concern if the transferred genetic material adversely affects human health. This would be particularly relevant if antibiotic resistance genes, used as markers when creating GMOs, were to be transferred. Although the probability of transfer is low, the use of gene transfer technology that does not involve antibiotic resistance genes is encouraged."(Emphases added)

In other words, and much to my surprise, the WHO appears to be "mildly concerned" about possibility number #1, and rather elliptically, through its careful language, seems to be entertaining the wilder high octane possibility #2(i.e., of some direct genetic modification of an ingesting organism's genome by consumption of genetically altered foods). But even if this "high octane reading" of the WHO's site is not correct, at the minimum the WHO is contradicting Mon(ster)santo's alleged statement that no testing on humans is really needed. The WHO even goes on to condemn the idea of any type of blanket statement - such as Mon(ster)santo's alleged statement - is possible:

"Different GM organisms include different genes inserted in different ways. This means that individual GM foods and their safety should be assessed on a case-by-case basis and that it is not possible to make general statements on the safety of all GM foods."

Then, there's another link you should look at in the first article:

Confirmed: DNA From Genetically Modified Crops Can Be Transferred Into Humans Who Eat Them

This last article cites a paragraph from a scientific paper from The Public Library of Science, which states:

“Our bloodstream is considered to be an environment well separated from the outside world and the digestive tract. According to the standard paradigm large macromolecules consumed with food cannot pass directly to the circulatory system. During digestion proteins and DNA are thought to be degraded into small constituents, amino acids and nucleic acids, respectively, and then absorbed by a complex active process and distributed to various parts of the body through the circulation system. Here, based on the analysis of over 1000 human samples from four independent studies, we report evidence that meal-derived DNA fragments which are large enough to carry complete genes can avoid degradation and through an unknown mechanism enter the human circulation system. In one of the blood samples the relative concentration of plant DNA is higher than the human DNA. The plant DNA concentration shows a surprisingly precise log-normal distribution in the plasma samples while non-plasma (cord blood) control sample was found to be free of plant DNA.”(Bold in the original)

It then draws this analogy:

“One small mutation in a human being can determine so much, the point is when you move a gene, one gene, one tiny gene out of an organism into a different one you  completely change its context. There is no way to predict how it’s going to behave and what the outcome will be. We think that we design these life forms, but it’s like taking the Toronto orchestra prepared to play a Beethoven symphony and then you take some random drummers from “here” and flip them in with the Toronto symphony  and you say play music. What comes out is going to be something very very different. Publicists say that there is good intention behind GMOs, but the fact of the matter is it’s driven by money.”

Perhaps the analogy is flawed, for it would be more like having an orchestra play a Mozart symphony or concerto, but removing a page from the score, and replacing it with a page from a score of Stravinsky, Schoenberg, or Alban Berg.

So what's my high octane speculation of the day? It's more of a prediction: We're going to hear about more such studies and conclusions, we're going to watch the GMO cartels twitch and turn and spin the daylights out of it, and, I suspect, we're going to hear more quiet, but increasing opposition to GMOs from the BRICSA nations, and I strongly suspect that they are going to begin to couple the GMO issue to the rise of obesity and autism in western countries and particularly in the USA. In short, we're going to take another step closer to the emergence of GMOs as a geopolitical issue.

See you on the flip side....

    Are they trying to change our DNA on purpose? Just came across you tube “Michael Tellinger” who says human DNA is so very special because it holds the source code – we are the closest to god/creation, no other species has. Ancient civilizations in southern Africa built 10,000 dolerite stone circles that are energetic grids that cover the earth. And that aliens mined gold there.

      Hi Sandygirl,

      although I haven’t been following Michael Tellinger as much I should (but am more than aware of him) I just feel he, due to his mind-boggling research on the origins of humanity, is one of the most astounding but subsequently ignored/over looked people on this planet (any wonder?)-

      • Sandygirl on January 5, 2015 at 4:21 pm

        Yes his knowledge is astounding.
        Correction – it’s 10 million stones in s. Africa that emit sound and energy, that’s are aligned with the sun and astronomical. Can only be seen from above. It’s a giant energy grid still active. He thinks one of the stone circles, is a vortex portal that could beam up the gold being mined.

    As the good doctor has stated this debate does not seem to be going away so perhaps some perspective is called for now. Genetically altered food is in the system now, even if it is banned world wide it will still up on your plate in one form or another given time we all know this right way too late and whether or not is a good or bad thing is of no real matter now it is what it is.

    There is an ancient story that tells of a kingdom where a ‘maji’ or wizard added a substance to the water of the people that made everyone crazy and act foolish. The good king felt sorry for his people having his own water supply in the castle and was unaffected by this madness he watched and tried to communicate with them and in vain could not find a solution to counter the effects of this madness. So being a good king he crept down to the town and drank of the water from their well to be as they were now. Just to remind everyone not every story that begins with once upon time has a happy ending.

    Sadly this was purposed; baked into the cake, if you will.
    The scientists that tried in vein to “expose” the dark side of GMOs were blackballed by the academia/press/grant complex. Whistleblowers facing media firing-squads/character assassinations.
    Know that the GMOS are blowing in the wind; it’s mission accomplished. And even “knowing” – the GMOs are continually being jammed downed the publics’ throats. Controlled media, controlled markets, controlled wars, controlled justice, controlled healthcare; you name it, it’s monopolized. All being geared & subjected to an ownership – an ownership of it all – a privatization of the planet; anything & everything – including you.
    When the learning curve exponentially expands beyond they’re control –
    Look-Out-World!!!!!

    Mass murder, genocide & crimes against humanity. What is the punishment for those crimes? Death. My oxygen deprived speculation (to be clear I am not advocating it but human nature being what it is…):

    Instead of killing themselves the farmers who’s crops have failed will start killing Monsatano reps around the world. They have nothing to lose because they have already lost it all. They and their families are doomed.

    As it becomes more apparent that the Monsatano reps are fair game their whole empire becomes limited to the USA/Canada and any remaining countries dumb enough to kill their own people and export markets.

    The backlash on this is going to be huge. Direct action against Monsatano will start in the third world first but it will spread to even the USA eventually. Vigilante justice will take its toll.

    They remark that they don’t know how gmo dna “can avoid degradation and through an unknown mechanism enter the human circulation system.”

    Really? I can tell you how all this trash enters the blood stream. The health of the average human’s gut today is terrible which results in “Leaky Gut”. The widespread use of antibiotics not only for medical treatment, but the high levels in our food and water supply kill off the healthy bacteria in our gut that we require for optimal functioning. The gut is referred to as our second brain, as its where the majority of our neurotransmitters are made. Lack of healthy bacteria in the gut results in the degradation of the intestinal mucosa and therefore the mucus that lines our intestines. This layer of mucus is responsible for deciding which nutrients are allowed to pass through our intestinal wall and into our bloodstream. Couple this with the effects of gluten on everyone’s body, not just people that are “gluten sensitive” and you have your answer. Without healthy intestinal mucus mediating absorption it’s easier for things like gluten to reach the intestinal wall. Just like in our arteries, plaque builds up on the intestinal wall impairing the absorption of nutrients, meanwhile the food particles that get trapped in it start to rot producing more toxins. The extremely sticky gluten that makes up this plaque gets stuck between the cell walls of our intestinal cells and forces them apart leaving large gaps where things like undigested, often rotten, gmo food particles and other toxins can pass directly into the blood stream. Causing a whole slew of problems aside from the ones Dr. Farrell is calling attention to.

    “No allergic effects have been found relative to GM foods currently on the market”

    This quote is also utter bullshit. I have personally had food and other chemical sensitivity allergy testing performed on myself using the ALCAT food sensitivity test, and to my surprise guess what came as something that I’m allergic/sensitive to? Glyphosate, the roundup pestiscide protein produced by genetically modified organisms that one ingests every time they eat a gmo. Food sensitivity testing tests for for Igg and iga mediated immune responses to a substance. This is different from an ige mediated allergic response which results in the well known acute and immediate food allergy reaction characterized by anaphylaxis, throat closing, hives, etc. The igg and iga reactions are more mild and happen days after ingesting the substance while it travels through the digestive system, making the specific triggers hard to determine. These reaction results in a wide array of symptoms including “sore throat, stuffy nose, congestion, headaches, belly aches, constipation, diarrhea, gas, bloating, hormone issues, foggy head, headaches, weight gain, fatigue, joint pain, depression, behavior changes, anxiety, and skin issues”. These sensitivities usually result when undigested food particles pass through the gut lining via leaky gut, once in the bloodstream your immune system realizes this foreign substance does not belong there and attacks it. Now anytime that you eat that food you will have the same immune response regardless of it passing into the bloodstream. This test alone is proof that non degraded gmo proteins can pass into the bloodstream or else I would not have reacted to glyphosate. So it’s complete garbage that gmos have no effect on human health. Then in addition to the immune response are the toxic effects of glyphosate, a fatty molecule, on the human body. This roundup protein effects the body like all other fatty toxins such as the ones produced by mold, bacteria, and other toxic substances. The toxins bind to our fatty tissues like the brain, nerves, joints and other connective tissues causing very serious problems. They cap off brain synapses blocking the chemical messengers our brain uses to communicate, impairing hormonal and neurotransmitter activity . They also clog up the nervous system altering the rate and frequency at which electrical impulses travel via our nerves. They deposit in the joints and connective tissue causing widespread problems there too. So even aside from the alteration of gene expression and other genetic effects, gmos are nobody’s friend. After all, why do the richest people on the planet, the .01 percenters from the dynastic families, have their own indoor, completely sealed off from our environment, organic food production facilities to feed their families? Why don’t they want to eat gmos?

    This GMO issue is like and itch you can’t scratch, and for all the hoop and hollah, it isn’t going to go away. Corrupt scientists are willing to sell their soul for a paycheck, and that’s sad. The blowback scenario is all too prevalent, and the human race is being sold to the highest bidder, it’s just another pot hole in the road of life, it needs somebody to fill up these holes….with a shotgun or a rope.



  7. Sandygirl on January 4, 2015 at 11:44 am

    Wow in 4 independent study’s the plant DNA was higher than the human DNA, that can’t be good. And then there’s the environment, where GMOs kill important insects messing up whole cycles of other butterfly and birds that feed on them.
    I wonder what the real true reason for GMO food, possibly food for a different type of intestinal system?
    The GMO labelling also failed in in CO, the commercials ran constantly saying how much more your groceries would cost.



  8. WalkingDead on January 4, 2015 at 10:53 am

    At this point in time, even if we halt all GMO crops, the damage has already reached the point where it would be nearly impossible to control the spread of the organisms. They are already in “the wild” so to speak; the birds, bees, and other animals that eat or pollinate these plants have spread them far and wide. We know this from all the lawsuits compliments of the Agribusiness’.
    As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be again. We are beginning to understand that historical fact/prophecy more and more as time goes on. The genetic pollution reached a critical stage then and will do so again compliments of companies/scientists with no ethics driven by motives of profit and questionable knowledge.
    The reasons are evident enough; profit, control, and eugenics. The masses are kept in line with a constant barrage of fear mongering, racial, and religious propaganda so they cannot think for themselves or act with one accord for their very survival.
    That is slowly changing, hence the acceleration of the agenda and the desperation evident since 911 of the deep state/globalists cabal. They will attempt to destroy the human race before giving up on total domination which they perceive to be almost within their grasp.
    Hidden away in their underground fortresses, while the world burns, they will ride out the storm and start it all over again. How many times must this happen before we learn from our mistakes.
    The true history of the earth would be a tale worth reading and remembering…

      Walking Dead I would refer you to the Tom Baker Dr. Who episode “The Pyramids Of Mars”. Our oligarchs are worshipers of the Egyptian god Sothlos a god of desolation and intend to wipe out all life on this planet as a offering to this being. The first and third articles you listed Joseph were clear and too the point but the second WHO article was written in babelize what are WHO afraid of that these scientist will be taken down to the basement of the WHO headquarters and be rub out Al Capone style with Chicago typewriters a la Saint Valentine massacre.



    • jedi on January 4, 2015 at 12:31 pm

      well said WD, at least we are learning about the truth….gotta give someone credit for that. At least we know. John 8;32
      and you will know the truth and the truth will set you free….or something like that.

      Global conditions at Noah’s time were such that total annihilation of humanity was deemed necessary by Jehovah.

      Matt. 24:3,22,36 tells of a time when total human annihilation is imminent and needs rescue by the Father—-the mirror image of Noah’s situation.

      Of all the dire predictions to signal the end of the world and the coming of the son of man, in answer to the disciples’ three part question, I think the most overlooked is the one requiring the global, imminent, unstoppable catastrophe of total human demise now possible by any number of man-created horrors.

      As the cosmic dark side and its willing or coerced human minions scramble to fulfill their task, there seems to be an inexplicable hinderance to those efforts cropping up in various quarters. Is it the spirit Father’s doing—invisible cause but visible effect?

      I don’t believe anyone has the definitive answers as to all the details and that is what we can hope is keeping the elite from sleeping well.

        take rev 2 . 11 and 12…where it talks about 2nd death and pergamos..which translated from Egypt, book of the dead….this world of lies.

        during the 60s a John Calhoun conducted an experiment with mice. He introduced what was coined mouse utopia, universe where he introduced 4 pairs of mice into mouse universe. No shortage of food, nesting material and no pretators…the only limit was space. Initially the population doubled every 55 days and reached a maxium by day 315 at 620 mice….after which the mouse birth rate dropped dramatically. By day 600 the mouse population was facing extinction, among the social abbreviation, were abandoning of young during weaning, agressive female and female attacks, males not defending themselves from aggressive attacks, maiming and cannibalism.
        During this period the females stopped reproducing, and some of the males started grooming, eating, drinking and sleeping…all solitary pursuits.
        Sleek healthy coats with no scars, these were dubbed “the beautiful ones”
        That social breakdown could be the 2nd death in rev and a warning of what may happen to humans in a over crowded impersonal world…..the mickey mouse club..”he that overcometh shall not be hurt by the second death”.

        ever wonder how homo and lesbo developed?
        Those that are ignorant of history….

        M I C K E Y….mouse. Wonder why Walt choose Mike …the arc messenger…mentioned twice in the biblos

    Not to mention that GMO labeling proposition that failed to pass in CA. So they say. Just can’t believe relabeling costs were an issue.Also reminds me of the Aspartame aka NutraSweet and MSG products foisted upon all of us. 1 ticket out of the “gravity well” please…
