Genetically Modified Organisms
Pt. 4 - Cover-up & Obfuscation

Part 4: Governmental cover-up, mono GMO crops destroy nature’s balance, lack micro-nutrients

"The genetic modification of food is intrinsically dangerous. It involves making irreversible changes in a random manner to a complex level of life about which little is known. It is inevitable that this hit-and-miss approach will lead to disasters. It must disrupt the natural intelligence of the plant or animal to which it is applied, and lead to health-damaging side-effects." Dr. Geoffrey Clements, Natural Law Party, UK. Tryptophan toxicity incident - $2 billion in claims for deaths and disease.

One reader said, “This one is why U.S. Senator Roy Blunt of Missouri snuck in the Monsanto Protection Act. The USDA and Monsanto illegally planted crops in areas, which would most economically and environmentally damage the other non-GMO crops and refused to pull them when the fed courts ordered it. So Monsanto got the fed government to remove them from any controls. Simple. This is a huge reason why I state that they don't care what we do - petition, write, march, protest, etc. When the rules work against them, they change the rules to fit their needs. If we follow the rules we have no option but to always play catch-up, and they continue to kill and damage everyone.”

Science writer Ethan Huff said, “Biotechnology giant Syngenta has officially been outed for deliberately hiding data that proves the company's genetically-modified (GM) Bt 176 corn is directly responsible for killing livestock. Dr. Eva Sirinathsinghji writing for QW Magazine explains that Syngenta is now facing criminal charges for willfully concealing the results of an internal, company-run study on Bt 176 corn from 1996 that was abruptly ended when four cows died after just two days of consuming the "Frankencorn."”

What makes me so very angry stems from the fact that powerful people in high places lie, cheat and steal in order to kill or cause damage to consumers who “trust” them to be truthful. I received a notification that Supreme Judge Clarence Thomas used to work as an attorney for Monsanto. Men and women with powerful credentials get paid by ADM and Monsanto to keep the facts hidden while they suppress anyone who dares expose them. You never hear about this on Scott Pelley, Brian Williams and Diane Sawyer.

This reader said, “This one is pretty critical. GMOs almost always use glyphosate, and it is called a "chelate" for minerals. It prevents the uptake of multiple minerals - over a score of minerals. Selenium, copper, zinc, boron, magnesium, manganese, strontium, etc. Study I read in 90's when I had 10,000 articles and a few hundred books on natural/alternative health showed that of slightly over 200 corpses killed by strokes - everybody had a copper deficiency. About the same number dead from myocardial infarction (heart attack)—every single one of them had a selenium deficiency. We need those minerals the GMO plants can no longer supply.”

Staff writer at www.NaturalNews.com, Jonathan Benson said, “A breakthrough report on the nutritional density of genetically-modified (GM) corn crops demolishes all existing claims that GMOs are "substantially equivalent" to non-GMOs. Entitled 2012 Nutritional Analysis: Comparison of GMO Corn versus Non-GMO Corn, the paper reveals not only that GMO corn is greatly lacking in vitamins and minerals compared to non-GMO corn, but also that it is highly toxic and filled with deadly crop chemicals like glyphosate (Roundup).”

The owners of the blog www.MomsAcrossAmerica.com said that Canada's only non-GMO corn seed supplier, De Dell Seed Company shared the report with them. De Dell obtained it from a Minnesota-based agricultural company called ProfitPro. Overall, the paper found that non-GMO corn is 20 times richer in nutrition, energy and protein compared to GMO corn. I don’t know about you, but this kind of immoral behavior needs a special oversight committee made up of intelligent, not bought-off Americans who care about their health and their children’s.

“Concerning energy content, as measured in terms of ERGS, non-GMO corn was found in tests to give off 3,400 times more energy per gram, per second compared to GMO corn, an astounding variance,” said Benson. “And as far as its overall percentage of organic matter is concerned, non-GMO corn was determined to have nearly twice as much of this vital component compared to GMO corn.”

Dear fellow citizen, this series only scratches the surface of GMOs Pandora’s Box of nightmare accelerating into your home via your grocery store.
