‘Biotech ambassadors’ engaging in massive Monsanto-backed PR operations to push GMOs into Africa

Friday, August 23, 2013 by: Ethan A. Huff, staff writer

(NaturalNews) There is a lot of shady business going on in Africa these days, where so-called “biotech ambassadors” are now actively touring the continent and aggressively pushing for acceptance of genetically-modified organisms (GMOs) and other biotechnology interests. As explained in a groundbreaking new report published by GMWatch.org, pro-industry hacks, like British climate change activist Mark Lynas, are literally going around trying to force GMOs on African farmers, while at the same time relaying back bald-faced lies to Western nations about how GMOs are already saving lives and ending hunger throughout Africa.

Monsanto executives and insiders are dumping Monsanto stock in record volumes, sending the stock price spiraling downward. CEO Hugh Grant just sold off 40,000 shares at $97.74, and both Janet Holloway and Gerald Steiner — both high-level Monsanto executives — recently ditched more than 10,000 shares each. Tom Hartley also bailed on another 6,000 shares at $100.15. (See sources below.)

 

Hedge funds, meanwhile, are also dumping Monsanto stock, most likely due to sharply increased “negative sentiment.” This means people increasingly don’t like Monsanto, and that’s a direct result of all the growing realizations about the dangers of GMOs, Monsanto’s predatory business practices, the company’s dangerous experiments that have already unleashed genetic pollution, and the fact that GM corn has been experimentally found to cause widespread cancer tumors in rat studies.

Monsanto and GMO lies revealed

(NaturalNews) In May 2013, two million people in over 50 countries expressed outrage over Monsanto’s desire to own the food supply through genetically-altered (and patented) seeds that threaten all life on this planet. Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are when a plant or animal has been genetically engineered with DNA from bacteria, viruses or other plants and animals. Whether you like it or not, you are eating genetically manipulated food without your consent.

Henry Kissinger once said, ‘Who controls the food supply controls the people…’ This comment plus many other dark and sinister ideas come from control hungry, greedy and, often times, dangerous people and corporations. On the next NaturalNews Talk Hour – we’ll expose the hidden agenda behind Monsanto.

Consumer alert: Most common vitamins, including children’s vitamins, found to contain GMOs

Natural News investigation reveals that an alarmingly large number of multivitamins and individual nutrient vitamins are formulated with ingredients derived from genetically modified corn.

This is the “dirty little secret” of the vitamin industry, but it’s not one the mainstream media will touch because they refuse to admit GMOs are a problem to begin with. Those in the know, however, realize that eating any ingredients derived from GMOs may expose them to the BT insecticide chemicals found in GM corn.

Society’s insanity plea: The real cause behind global mass poisoning

The downfall of modern civilization

There are over five thousand species of mammals on planet Earth, but only one of them is insane. It also turns out there is only one species of mammal that intentionally poisons itself (and its children) by injecting toxic, neuro-damaging chemicals into most members of the species. That species is, of course, homo sapiens.

If you look around the planet these days, you see tens of thousands of species of mammals, birds, reptiles and even insects. Five things all these have in common is:

1) None of them eat processed foods. They innately eat raw, unprocessed, uncooked foods from nature.

2) None of them take prescription medications.

3) None of them inject their offspring with toxic vaccines laced with hidden chemicals.

4) None of them practice mechanized chemical agriculture / monoculture.

5) None of them live in delusional, artificial worlds of TV or the internet.

GMO feed turns pig stomachs to mush! Shocking photos reveal severe damage caused by GM soy and corn

(NaturalNews) If you have stomach problems or gastrointestinal problems, a new study led by Dr. Judy Carman may help explain why: pigs fed a diet of genetically engineered soy and corn showed a 267% increase in severe stomach inflammation compared to those fed non-GMO diets. In males, the difference was even more pronounced: a 400% increase. (For the record, most autistic children are males, and nearly all of them have severe intestinal inflammation.)

Monsanto pushes bizarre conspiracy theory

To deflect blame for GE wheat contamination of commercial crops

“Little Green Men?”

(NaturalNews) There is a grand conspiracy theory at work to destroy the value of U.S. wheat crops, Monsanto recently told mainstream media reporters in a telephone conference. The contaminated GE wheat recently discovered in Oregon didn’t get there by escaping Monsanto’s open-air GMO experiments, the company claims. Instead, they say it might have been put there by a conspiracy of crop criminals who somehow acquired GE wheat from Monsanto’s field trials way back in 2005, then somehow saved it in a way that kept it genetically viable for eight years, then supposedly drove around Oregon for the sole purpose of releasing the GMOs in some farmer’s field that they just hoped the USDA might be someday be testing for GMO contamination.

Democrat, Republican, it doesn’t matter. As long as you can help Monsanto slide its icy tentacles into the food chain, then there’s some financial tip available to you. Thankfully, many such ties can be exposed through some data digging, and thanks to diligent readers who send comprehensive news tips and other researchers out there, we now have an extensive list of politicians getting paid cold hard cash from GMO juggernaut Monsanto.

Senate Shoots Down GMO Labeling Bill

In yet another showing of their lack of concern towards the people who give them their jobs, Senators in Washington D.C. voted against a key GMO labeling amendment to the Farm bill. One that would have allowed states to decide to label the presence of genetically modified ingredients in food products.

Analysis Finds Monsanto’s GM Corn Nutritionally Dead, Highly Toxic

Is GMO corn nutritionally equivalent to non-GMO corn? Monsanto will tell you the answer is a big ‘yes’, but the real answer is absolutely not. And the simple reality is that they are continuing to get away with their blatant misinformation. In fact, a 2012 nutritional analysis of genetically modified corn found that not only is GM corn lacking in vitamins and nutrients when compared to non-GM corn, but the genetic creation also poses numerous health risks due to extreme toxicity.

With the recent passing of the Monsanto Protection Act, there is no
question that mega corporations like Monsanto are able to wield enough
power to even surpass that of the United States government. The new
legislation provides Monsanto with a legal safeguard against federal
courts striking down any pending review of dangerous GM crops. It is
ironic to see the passing of such a bill in the face of continuous
releases of GMO dangers.

Non-GMO Corn 20x Richer in Nutrition than GMO Corn

The 2012 report, entitled 2012 Nutritional Analysis: Comparison of GMO Corn versus Non-GMO Corn,
found numerous concerning and notable differences between GMO and
non-GMO corn, none of which are particularly surprising. First, the
report found that non-GMO corn has considerably more calcium, magnesium,
manganese, potassium, iron, and zinc.

• • Non-GMO corn has 6130 ppm of calcium while GMO corn has 14 – non-GMO corn has 437 times more calcium.

• • Non-GMO corn has 113 ppm of magnesium while GMO corn has 2 – non-GMO corn has about 56 times more magnesium.

• • Non-GMO corn has 113 ppm of potassium while GMO corn has 7 – non-GMO corn has 16 times more potassium.

• • Non-GMO corn has 14 ppm of manganese while GMO corn has 2 – non-GMO corn has 7 times more manganese.

As far as energy content goes, non-GMO corn was found to ‘emit 3,400 times more energy per gram, per second compared to GMO corn’, as reported by NaturalNews. Overall, the paper found that non-GMO corn is 20 times richer in nutrition, energy and protein compared to GMO corn.

GMO Corn Also Found to be Highly Toxic

Not surprisingly, the report found what many of us already know – that
GMO corn is highly toxic. While non-GMO corn was found to be free of
chlorides, formaldehyde, glyphosate (active ingredient in Monsanto’s
best selling herbicide Roundup), and other toxic substances, GMO corn is
riddled with these toxins.

Based on the Environmental Protection Agency’s regulations, the maximum amount of glyphosate allowed in drinking water is 700 parts per billion, which equates to .7 ppm.
The amount is a set “level of protection based on the best available
science to prevent potential health problems”.  Europe allows even less
glyphosate in water, at .2 ppm. The report found that GMO corn contains 13 ppm – that’s 18.5x the “safe amount” set by the EPA.

Similarly, GMO corn contains concerning levels of toxic formaldehyde,
at 200 ppm. According to Dr. Don Huber, a respected expert on GMOs, at
least one study found that 0.97 ppm of ingested formaldehyde was toxic
to animals. The GMO corn was found to contain 200 times more formaldehyde than this ‘maximum’ safety amount.

Biotech Giants Like Monsanto Caught Lying Again

Monsanto has been making the claim for years that genetically modified
foods are equivalent or even of higher quality than non-GMOs, but
nothing could be further from the truth. Numerous studies have shown us
the dangers of GMO foods such as GMO corn, along with the dangers of the massive amount of pesticides
that accompany GMO crops. This 2012 report reminds us once again that
corporations like Monsanto simply can not be trusted, and that the
company will continue making false claims until the end of days in order
to profit and slowly genetically engineer the world.

The 2012 report 2012 Nutritional Analysis: Comparison of GMO Corn versus Non-GMO Corn, was reportedly shared with the owners of MomsAcrossAmerica.com by
De Dell Seed Company, the only non-GMO seed supplies in Canada. De Dell
Seed Company received the document from a company called ProfitPro,
based in Minnesota.
