Scientist urges "emergency" withdrawl of Monsanto's new genetically engineered alfalfa.
“In layman’s terms, it should be treated as an emergency.”
Monsanto franken-food causing infertility rates in dairy heifers
of over 20%, and spontaneous abortions in cattle as high as 45%
A military-industrial complex company has now been given
a near monopoly over the global food supply, and people
still can't connect the dots?
How did Aldous Huxley say the NWO takeover would unfold?
"By diet, injection, and injunction."
And what do we have unfolding today?
A diet filled with GMO frankenfoods, mandatory mass
injections, and injunctions against homegrown
organic food via legislation mandating the non-labeling of
GMO frankenfoods.
Seed vaults and organics grown in non-chemtrailed, pristine
fields for them, GMO franken-foods, fluoridated water, forced
vaccinations and anti-food freedom laws for you.
Still calling it a conspiracy theory?
We now have 40 million Americans on food stamps, a 17%
U6 real unemployment rate, 8 million Americans who have
lost their homes, 80% of college grads forced to move back
home with their parents, 46 of 50 US States now bankrupt
and beginning to layoff teachers, policemen and government
workers... not to mention an unfunded, bankrupt pension
system, a US Treasury filled with nothing but worthless
promissory notes, and a Social Security system that was
looted long ago.
They don't need most of you any longer as your jobs have
been outsourced, your wages arbitraged, your pensions,
savings, social security, and national treasury looted,
and your children and grandchildren mortgaged as debt
slave chattel.
They already got all the money... we've just witnessed the
the biggest transfer of wealth to the top 1% in history,
Bush gave the bankers $23.7 trillion in bailouts & backstops,
Obama gave the multi-nationals and political cronies 3/4ths of
the $800 billion in stimulus spending (the rest went to prop
up bankrupt states and local governments), and Bernanke is
is now engaging in QE II, while Goldman Sachs & JP Morgan
enjoy entire entire quarters of 100% profitable trading days
that defies both logic and the mathematical laws of probability,
in markets so manipulated and propped up (as insiders sell
at a record pace) that it defies not only gravity, but sanity.
But because no one has yet kicked in your front door and taken
away your guns, you continue to rationalize your illusion that
you are still living under freedom.
Re-read these quotes (I've posted them many times before),
and see if you can finally begin to connect the dots as you
read the article below.
"A reasonable estimate for an industrialized world society at
the present North American material standard of living would
be 1 billion. At the more frugal European standard of living,
2 to 3 billion would be possible."
- United Nations, Global Biodiversity Assessment
“A total population of 250-300 million people, a 95% decline
from present levels, would be ideal.”
- Ted Turner, founder of CNN, and major UN donor who gave
$1 billion dollars for global population reduction.
“… the resultant ideal sustainable population is hence more
than 500 million but less than one billion.”
[current global population is 7-8 billion - do the math]
- Top NWO Think Tank - The Club of Rome, in "Goals for Mankind."
"A cancer is an uncontrolled multiplication of cells, the
population explosion is an uncontrolled multiplication of
people. We must shift our efforts from the treatment of the
symptoms to the cutting out of the cancer. The operation
will demand many apparently brutal and heartless decisions."
- Prof. Paul Ehrlich (partner of Obama Science Czar John Holdren),
in "The Population Bomb."
"Brutal and heartless decisions" - remember those words.
So it was written, so it is being done...

A plant pathologist experienced in protecting against
biological warfare recently warned the USDA of a new, self-
replicating, micro-fungal virus-sized organism which may be
causing spontaneous abortions in livestock, sudden death
syndrome in Monsanto’s Roundup Ready soy, and wilt in
Monsanto’s RR corn.
Dr. Don M. Huber, who coordinates the Emergent Diseases and
Pathogens committee of the American Phytopathological
Society, as part of the USDA National Plant Disease Recovery
System, warned Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack that this
pathogen threatens the US food and feed supply and can lead
to the collapse of the US corn and soy export markets.
Likewise, deregulation of GE alfalfa “could be a calamity,”
he noted in his letter (reproduced in full below).
On January 27, Vilsack gave blanket approval to all
genetically modified alfalfa. Following orders from President
Obama, he also removed buffer zone requirements. This is seen
as a deliberate move to contaminate natural crops and destroy
the organic meat and dairy industry which relies on GM-free
alfalfa.
Such genetic contamination will give the biotech industry
complete control over the nation’s fourth largest crop. It
will also ease the transition to using GE-alfalfa as a biofuel.
“My letter to Secretary Vilsack was a request to allocate
necessary resources to understand potential nutrient-disease
interactions before making (in my opinion) an essentially
irreversible decision on deregulation of RR alfalfa,”
Huber told Food Freedom in an email.
But, he cautions:
“Although the organism has been associated with infertility
and spontaneous abortions in animals, associations are not
always evidence of cause in all cases and do not indicate
what the predisposing conditions might be. These need to be
established through thorough investigation which requires a
commitment of resources.
“I hope that the Secretary will make such a commitment
because many growers/producers are experiencing severe
increases in disease of both crops and animals that are
threatening their economic viability.”
On Feb. 16, Paul Tukey of SafeLawn telephoned Dr. Huber who
told him, “I believe we’ve reached the tipping point toward a
potential disaster with the safety of our food supply. The
abuse, or call it over use if you will, of Roundup, is having
profoundly bad consequences in the soil. We’ve seen that for
years. The appearance of this new pathogen may be a signal
that we’ve gone too far.”
Tukey also conveyed that while Huber admits that much further
study is needed to definitively confirm the link between
Round-Up and the pathogen, “In the meantime, he said, it’s
grossly irresponsible of the government to allow Roundup
Ready alfalfa, which would bring the widespread spraying
of Roundup to millions of more acres and introduce far more
Roundup into the food supply.”
Huber, who has been studying plant pathogens for over 50
years and glyphosate for over 20 years, has noticed an
increase in pathogens associated with the herbicide. In an
interview with the Organic and Non-GMO Report last May, he
discussed his team’s conclusions that glyphosate can,
“significantly increase the severity of various plant
diseases, impair plant defense to pathogens and diseases,
and immobilize soil and plant nutrients rendering them
unavailable for plant use.”
This is because “glyphosate stimulates the growth of fungi
and enhances the virulence of pathogens.” [Image] In the last
15-18 years, the number of plant pathogens has increased, he
told the Non-GMO Report. “There are more than 40 diseases
reported with use of glyphosate, and that number keeps
growing as people recognize the association (between
glyphosate and disease).”
In his undated letter to the USDA, Huber highlighted “the
escalating frequency of infertility and spontaneous abortions
over the past few years in US cattle, dairy, swine, and horse
operations.” He reported that spontaneous abortions occurred
in nearly half the cattle where high concentrations of the
pathogen were found in their feed. Huber notes that the
wheat “likely had been under weed management using glyphosate.”
Other Research Supports Huber’s Warning
Last year, Argentine scientists found that Roundup causes
birth defects in frogs and chickens. Publishing their
paper, “Glyphosate-Based Herbicides Produce Teratogenic
Effects on Vertebrates by Impairing Retinoic Acid Signaling,”
in Chemical Research in Toxicology, Alejandra Paganelli, et al.
also produced a large set of reports for the public at GMWatch:
“In Argentina and Paraguay, doctors and residents living in
GM soy producing areas have reported serious health effects
from glyphosate spraying, including high rates of birth
defects as well as infertility, stillbirths, miscarriages,
and cancers. Scientific studies collected in the new report
confirm links between exposure to glyphosate and premature
births, miscarriages, cancer, and damage to DNA and
reproductive organ cells.”
One of the researchers, Andrés Carrasco, told GM Watch,
“The findings in the lab are compatible with malformations
observed in humans exposed to glyphosate during pregnancy.”
When trying to present these findings to the public in August
of last year, Dr. Carrasco and the audience were attacked by
100 thugs who beat them and their cars with clubs, leaving
one person paralyzed, Amnesty International reported. Local
police and a wealthy GM rice grower were implicated in that
attack.
In a 2009 study, researchers linked organ damage with
consumption of Monsanto’s GM maize, based on Monsanto’s trial
data. As we reported last year, Gilles-Eric Séralini, et al.,
concluded that the raw data from all three GMO studies reveal
that novel pesticide residues will be present in food and
feed and may pose grave health risks to those consuming them.
In a 2005 paper published in Environmental Health Perspectives,
Sophie Richard, et al. compared the toxicity of Roundup with
that of just glyphosate, its active ingredient. They found
Roundup to be more toxic, owing to its adjuvants. They also
found that endocrine disruption increased over time so that
one-tenth the amount prescribed for agriculture caused cell
deformation. Citing other research, they also reported that
Roundup adjuvants bond with DNA.
Such negative findings probably explain why Monsanto and
other biotech firms so vociferously block independent research.
Tom Laskawy at Grist estimated that in 2008, nearly 200
million pounds of glyphosate were poured onto US soils. But,
he notes that “exact figures are a closely guarded secret
thanks to the USDA’s refusal to update its pesticide use
database after 2007.” This figure more than doubles what
the EPA estimates was used in 2000.
Below is Dr. Huber’s full letter, graciously provided
to me by Paul Tukey:
Dear Secretary Vilsack:
A team of senior plant and animal scientists have recently
brought to my attention the discovery of an electron
microscopic pathogen that appears to significantly impact the
health of plants, animals, and probably human beings. Based
on a review of the data, it is widespread, very serious, and
is in much higher concentrations in Roundup Ready (RR)
soybeans and corn—suggesting a link with the RR gene or more
likely the presence of Roundup. This organism appears NEW
to science!
This is highly sensitive information that could result in
a collapse of US soy and corn export markets and significant
disruption of domestic food and feed supplies.
On the other hand, this new organism may already be
responsible for significant harm (see below). My colleagues
and I are therefore moving our investigation forward with
speed and discretion, and seek assistance from the USDA and
other entities to identify the pathogen’s source, prevalence,
implications, and remedies.
We are informing the USDA of our findings at this early
stage, specifically due to your pending decision regarding
approval of RR alfalfa. Naturally, if either the RR gene or
Roundup itself is a promoter or co-factor of this pathogen,
then such approval could be a calamity. Based on the current
evidence, the only reasonable action at this time would be to
delay deregulation at least until sufficient data has
exonerated the RR system, if it does.
For the past 40 years, I have been a scientist in the
professional and military agencies that evaluate and prepare
for natural and manmade biological threats, including germ
warfare and disease outbreaks. Based on this experience, I
believe the threat we are facing from this pathogen is unique
and of a high risk status. In layman’s terms, it should be
treated as an emergency.
A diverse set of researchers working on this problem have
contributed various pieces of the puzzle, which together
presents the following disturbing scenario:
Unique Physical Properties
This previously unknown organism is only visible under an
electron microscope (36,000X), with an approximate size range
equal to a medium size virus. It is able to reproduce and
appears to be a micro-fungal-like organism. If so, it would
be the first such micro-fungus ever identified. There is
strong evidence that this infectious agent promotes diseases
of both plants and mammals, which is very rare.
Pathogen Location and Concentration
It is found in high concentrations in Roundup Ready soybean
meal and corn, distillers meal, fermentation feed products,
pig stomach contents, and pig and cattle placentas.
Linked with Outbreaks of Plant Disease
The organism is prolific in plants infected with two
pervasive diseases that are driving down yields and farmer
income—sudden death syndrome (SDS) in soy, and Goss’ wilt in
corn. The pathogen is also found in the fungal causative
agent of SDS (Fusarium solani fsp glycines).
Implicated in Animal Reproductive Failure
Laboratory tests have confirmed the presence of this organism
in a wide variety of livestock that have experienced
spontaneous abortions and infertility. Preliminary results
from ongoing research have also been able to reproduce
abortions in a clinical setting.
The pathogen may explain the escalating frequency of
infertility and spontaneous abortions over the past few years
in US cattle, dairy, swine, and horse operations. These
include recent reports of infertility rates in dairy heifers
of over 20%, and spontaneous abortions in cattle as high as 45%.
(humans, can you connect the depopulation agenda dots yet?)
For example, 450 of 1,000 pregnant heifers fed wheatlage
experienced spontaneous abortions. Over the same period,
another 1,000 heifers from the same herd that were raised
on hay had no abortions. High concentrations of the pathogen
were confirmed on the wheatlage, which likely had been under
weed management using glyphosate.
Recommendations
In summary, because of the high titer of this new animal
pathogen in Round Ready crops,[sic] and its association with
plant and animal diseases that are reaching epidemic
proportions, we request USDA’s participation in a multi-
agency investigation, and an immediate moratorium on the
deregulation of RR crops until the causal/predisposing
relationship with glyphosate and/or RR plants can be ruled
out as a threat to crop and animal production and human health.
It is urgent to examine whether the side-effects of
glyphosate use may have facilitated the growth of this
pathogen, or allowed it to cause greater harm to weakened
plant and animal hosts. It is well-documented that glyphosate
promotes soil pathogens and is already implicated with the
increase of more than 40 plant diseases; it dismantles plant
defenses by chelating vital nutrients; and it reduces the
bioavailability of nutrients in feed, which in turn can cause
animal disorders. To properly evaluate these factors, we
request access to the relevant USDA data.
I have studied plant pathogens for more than 50 years. We are
now seeing an unprecedented trend of increasing plant and
animal diseases and disorders. This pathogen may be
instrumental to understanding and solving this problem. It
deserves immediate attention with significant resources to
avoid a general collapse of our critical agricultural infrastructure.
Sincerely,
