Victory! U.S. Court of Appeals Votes to Allow Local Governments to BAN GMO Crops

Victory! U.S. Court of Appeals Votes to Allow Local Governments to BAN GMO Crops

by | November 29, 2016

One of the most difficult, and often overlooked, aspects of genetically engineered crops are that they are fully capable of “contaminating” crops nearby, or even several miles away. Canola and corn are two of the biggest offenders, with pollen drift causing changes to nearby organic and non-GMO crops. Because of even trace amounts of contamination, organic and non-GMO farmers worry about being rejected by overseas markets, where GMOs are not tolerated. The financial consequences can be disastrous. Some farmers even worry about lawsuits from pollination over drift from “patented” plants. Because of these and other concerns, many organic and non-GMO farmers find themselves surrounded and constricted by their [...]

Monsanto GM Corn Causes Intestinal Damage and Fissures In Lab Rats, New Study Says

Monsanto GM Corn Causes Intestinal Damage and Fissures In Lab Rats, New Study Says

by | November 28, 2016

One of the most overlooked aspects of the GMO debate is the safety of Monsanto and other companies’ genetically engineered crops, and the lack of long-term safety testing that has been done. Most GMOs (the blanket term for genetically engineered foods, or organisms) are designed to do one of two things: either to withstand large amounts of toxic herbicides or to produce insecticidal proteins within the plant itself. In the case of Monsanto’s MON810 Bt corn, the insecticidal protein is produced to cause harm to any insects that attempt to make a meal out of it. But the same “novel traits” that make it a danger to pests may also be a danger to mammalian health, according to one new [...]

New Tests Show “Extremely High” Levels Of Monsanto Carcinogen In America’s Favorite Foods (Including One Major “Organic” Brand)

New Tests Show “Extremely High” Levels Of Monsanto Carcinogen In America’s Favorite Foods (Including One Major “Organic” Brand)

  One of the elephants in the room when it comes to Monsanto is just how far their highly ubiquitous, highly contaminating agrochemicals are traveling in our environment. Tests show that the main component of Roundup, glyphosate (declared a probable human carcinogen by the World Health Organization in 2015) can be found in rain, drinking water, and many of our favorite foods in unsafe concentrations. Now, new tests have shown surprisingly high levels of glyphosate in some of the United States’ favorite foods — and a major “organic” brand’s product is among the foods considered to be highly contaminated. “Alarming” Amounts of Glyphosate Found According to the new report “Glyphosate: Unsafe [...]

An “Unprecedented,” Unnecessary and Risky Experiment: Environmental, Food Groups To Sue FDA Over GMO Mosquito Release

An “Unprecedented,” Unnecessary and Risky Experiment: Environmental, Food Groups To Sue FDA Over GMO Mosquito Release

by | November 23, 2016

While the British company Oxitec has been dogged in its pursuit of selling genetically engineered mosquitoes to the public, many wonder just what the effects will be on the health of residents and the environment. The mosquitoes have been pushed as a “solution” to the alleged Zika virus issue in South Florida, but many residents are skeptical, including the first target community of Key Haven where a non-binding measure on GMO mosquitoes was defeated. Despite that defeat, another non-binding vote was also held in a wider area that was inundated with pro-GMO mosquito ads, during which a resolution passed. But many wonder whether the entire thing was simply an exercise in “manufacturing consent (more details [...]

Huge Win! After Months of Petitioning, Girl Scouts Announces First Ever Non-GMO Cookie!

Huge Win! After Months of Petitioning, Girl Scouts Announces First Ever Non-GMO Cookie!

by | November 22, 2016

  There was a time recently in the United States when Non-GMO and organic packaged foods were surprisingly rare, so much so that choice was a virtual non-entity and entire communities of people have no access to non-GMO options. But now, non-GMO has officially gone mainstream: one of the country’s most recognized institutions, the Girl Scouts of the USA (formerly known as America) has announced its first-ever (officially speaking, anyway) non-GMO cookie. The secret was spilled by the Facebook page Remove GMOs From Girl Scouts Cookies, which had the following to say: HUGE NEWS!!!! Girl Scout Cookies Samoas® Cookies is introducing it’s first NON-GMO Verified cookie THIS YEAR!!!!! Thank you Girl [...]

Victory! Activists Unite to Free Doctor, Professor Who Was Persecuted for Speaking Out Against Monsanto

Victory! Activists Unite to Free Doctor, Professor Who Was Persecuted for Speaking Out Against Monsanto

The Monsanto Tribunal held in the Hague featured over 30 experts testifying against the Creve Couer, MO (near St. Louis) based company in a mock trial for “ecocide” that may be used as the basis for future international legal action. But while those who testified, including doctors, university professors, agricultural experts and more, were welcomed with open arms, the return home was the exact opposite for one prominent doctor from the country of Argentina. According to a recent post from the website GMWatch.org, Dr. Damián Verzeñassi found himself embroiled in a serious controversy upon his return home — not to mention locked out of his office by the very people that you may think would be supporting him.

Same Mainstream Media Now Covering Marches Against Trump Refused To Cover The March Against Monsanto…What Does That Tell You?

Same Mainstream Media Now Covering Marches Against Trump Refused To Cover The March Against Monsanto…What Does That Tell You?

by | November 18, 2016

by J. D. Heyes (Natural News) Have you heard of the March Against Monsanto? If you only get your news from establishment media outlets, you haven’t. Only the so-called ‘alternative media’ dares report such important events. And honestly, that should tell you all you need to know about the mainstream media, and why Americans’ distrust of the media is at an all-time high. The MSM will cover wall-to-wall Trump “protest” events that are being staged and paid for by George Soros as real and spontaneous, but refuse to cover a genuine movement based on legitimate concerns about health and food. The next March Against Monsanto is scheduled to take place on May 20, 2017, where pro-clean [...]

Cynthia: Flesh-Eating Synthetic Bacteria Has Mutated, Spreading Uncontrollably

Cynthia: Flesh-Eating Synthetic Bacteria Has Mutated, Spreading Uncontrollably

by Jean Périer | New Eastern Outlook Back in April 2010, an explosion at a British Petroleum oil rig resulted in millions of barrels of oil contaminating the Gulf of Mexico. Despite the drastic measures taken to prevent an environmental catastrophe, an oil slick produced by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill covered over sixty thousand square miles. As one of the means of addressing the environmental catastrophe on their hands, Washington decided to take drastic measures, regardless of the possible consequences of those actions. It was at that time when an artificially created microorganism nicknamed Cynthia was unleashed, without any kind of examination of the possible threat it may pose to the environment. Cynthia [...]

Manipulating Mankind: The CRISPR Gene-Editing Tool is Finally Used on a Human

Manipulating Mankind: The CRISPR Gene-Editing Tool is Finally Used on a Human

by | November 17, 2016

A Chinese research team has made controversial history by injecting a living human for the first time ever using the new CRISPR genome-editing technology. The research team led by Dr. Lu You, an oncologist at Sichuan University, used modified immune cells to treat a patient suffering from an aggressive form of lung cancer. Researchers claim to have modified the cells using CRISPR’s technology to make them more resilient to detrimental cancer cells. To combat the metastatic lung cancer, immune cells were extracted from the patient’s blood, and the problematic gene, a PD-1 protein that stops immune response, was disabled using the gene-editing technology. The modified cells were then cultured to create [...]
