F. William Engdahl (Feb 22, 2017) - Last year, we had a series of mergers
in the agribusiness’ GMO-corporations worldwide. This has created an alarming
concentration of corporate power in the hands of basically three corporate
groups. The first one is Bayer AG of Germany,
which made a friendly takeover of Monsanto. The reason for this was that
Monsanto became identified in the public mind as pure evil and everything bad
about GMO’s, which was accurate. This became a burden on the whole GMO project.
So, Bayer stepped in, which has a friendly image of an aspirin, harmless, nice
company, but in fact is the company that invented heroin in the 1880’s and made
gas for the ovens of Auschwitz during WWII. It's one of the dirtiest
agribusiness companies in the world with a series of homicides and pesticides
that killed off bee colonies and many other things that are essential to life
and to nature. ChemChina - China State Chemical giant
- for some reason took over Swiss Syngenta, which makes weed-killers. Then, Dow Chemicals and DuPont merged
their GMO businesses together. So, we have three gigantic corporate
groups worldwide controlling the genetically-modified part of the human food
chain. As dangerous as the GMO crops are and the more they sell, it is becoming
more and more obvious that they are the chemicals that by contract must be
applied to those GMO seeds by the corporations. They demand that if you buy
roundup ready soybeans or corn, you must use Monsanto (now Bayer) roundup.
Therefore, this is giving more
corporate power to the GMO industry than ever before and that’s an alarming
trend. They are putting pressure on the bureaucracy in Brussels. One example:
there was a massive public campaign against the renewal of the license of the
European Commission for Glyphosate. Glyphosate is the most widely used
weed-killer in the world. Glyphosate is the main ingredient in Monsanto’s
roundup. The other ingredients are Monsanto’s corporate secret, but the
combination of them is one of the most deadly weed-killers. The World Health Organization’s body
responsible for assessing genetic dangers made a ruling the last year that
Glyphosate was a probable cancer-causing agent. The license came up for automatic
renewal last year – a 15-year license. The EU commission for health was
prepared to automatically renew it for 15 years. The European Food Safety
Authority (EFSA), which is responsible allegedly for the health and safety of
European citizens, recommended approval based on a German study by the German Food
Safety Agency that was simply lifted 100% from studies given by the private
corporation Monsanto! So, the whole chain was corrupt from the beginning and
all the information was rigged. In reality tests have shown that in minuscule
concentrations, lower than in recommended levels in Europe and in the US,
Glyphosate causes kidney disease, liver disease, and other illnesses that are
potentially fatal. Now, Glyphosate has shown up in urine
tests, in urban drinking water, in gardens, in ground water and so forth. And
that gets into the system of childbearing women, for example, with embryo. It’s
all in this!
The EU commission, despite a million
petitions – this is a record setting - and despite recommendations from leading
scientists around the world to not renew the license, made a compromise under
huge industry pressure and renewed it for 18 months. Why did they renew it for
that time? Because at the end of 18 months, they were told by Bayer and
Monsanto that the takeover of those two giant corporations will be completed
and Bayer is going to replace Glyphosate with another, likely more deadly
toxin, but not so well-known as Glyphosate. So, they simply bought time. And
that is just one example. This agenda of GMO is not about the
health and safety; it’s not about increasing crop yields - that’s a lie that
has been proven in repeated tests in North America and all around the world.
Crop yields for farmers, using GMO plants, may increase slightly for the first
1-2 harvest years, but ultimately decline after 3-4 years. And not only that!
We’ve been promised by Monsanto and other GMO giants that the use of chemicals
will be less, because of these “wonderful” traits that GMO plants resist. In
fact, the weeds become resistant and you have super weeds, which are 5-6 feet
in a height and choke out everything. It’s a catastrophe. So, farmers end up
using added weed killers to kill the super weeds. This whole mad playing around
with the genetic makeup of nature is a disaster from the beginning. The real agenda of GMO, which I have
documented in great detail in my book “Seeds
of Destruction”, comes from the Rockefeller Foundation. It comes out of the
1920s-1930s Eugenics movement. The Rockefeller Foundation during the 1930’s,
right up to the outbreak of World War II when it became politically embracing
too, financed the Nazi Eugenics experiments of Kaiser Wilhelm Institute in
Berlin and in Munich. Why did they do this? Their goal was the elimination of
what they called “undesirable eaters”. That is called population reduction.
After the war, the head of the
American Eugenic Society, who was a good friend of John D. Rockefeller, at the
annual conference of the American Eugenic Society said: “From today, the new
name of eugenics is genetics”. Moreover, if you keep that in mind – genetic
engineering, the Human Genome Project and so forth – they all are scientific
frauds. Russian scientists have proven that the entire Genome Project utterly
disregarded 98% of the scientifically valuable data in favor of 2% that
was completely nonsense and a waste of billions of dollars. Therefore, they have been obsessed
with the idea of how to reduce human population in a way that would not be so
obvious as simply going out and carrying out mass-sterilization. Actually, they have done that in
Central America together with the World Health Organization by giving certain
vaccines that they cooked-up to have abortive effects. Therefore, the women of
child-bearing age in Central America were given these vaccines against tetanus.
The organization of the Catholic Church became suspicious because the shots
were given only to women, not to men. And they found that there was buried in
the vaccine an abortive effect that made it impossible for women to conceive
and bear children. This is all covert population reduction. These are the Western patriarchs who
believe they are the gods, sitting on the throne with great dignity,
controlling mankind. I think they are a bunch of fools, but they have this
agenda of genetic manipulation. It’s against nature, it’s chemically unstable.
And I have to congratulate the Russian Federation that they had the courage and
the moral concern for their own population to ban GMO cultivation across
Russia. That was a step forward for mankind. I would hope that Russia will use
its influence to get China to do the similar thing, because their agriculture
is in dire need of some healthy Russian input. But this step by Russia to make
a GMO-free agriculture is a great step for mankind.
