Monsanto, GM crops and the massive American bee kill

(Say no to all GM Frankenfoods)

American food regulator (FDA) is using its powers to force sellers of GM foods NOT to label any food as genetically modified -- cop that if you're still able to distinguish between the ceiling and the floor!

This extraordinary situation is a complete logical inversion – a reversal of meaning, intent and function of an authority that was established to protect the public from suspect food products. The FDA was not commissioned to support food Corporations in their endeavours to surreptitiously sell ‘frankenfood’ products to a public that is loath to buy them. So, what to do if you’re Monsanto or another frankenfood producer? Force the government to assist with the most inverted and absurd labelling restrictions scene in the WORLD to date – only in demented America!

The real cost of ‘Frankenfoods.’

Australia has been exporting much needed bees to the US for the purpose of pollinating food crops, as local bee populations have succumbed to a mysterious disease that has been killing bees in their millions and threatening food production across the nation.

The bee kill story has been pushed into the background, as the implications are too alarming for the whipped-dog US population to bear. However, an obvious conclusion can be drawn; bee kills are not the result of chemical cocktails of fertilisers mixed with insecticides, as that has been occurring for decades without any appreciable impact on bee populations. The only new factor in the environmental equation is the release into open agriculture of GM crops; maize, cotton and canola are the most widespread in the US.

Monsanto’s insidious reach into government regulatory agencies is now widely known and unsurprisingly the above crops passed ‘stringent safety controls' for release into the environment; how very convenient when it is scientifically known that it’s impossible to test such things outside REAL ecosystems; yet Monsanto and now corrupt, puppet regulators, have assured us all that there is no cause for alarm! The latest frankenfood to be forced onto the public without appropriate labelling is GM ‘Atlantic’ salmon, no doubt all salmon sales will suffer as a result.

The massive bee kills (and now small bats) CLEARLY INDICATES that something is drastically wrong in he ecosystem; so let’s take a closer look at the latest pollen interventions into the natural environment and then force our politicians to do what they were elected to do, PROTECT the PUBLIC, not corporate, INTEREST (before the entire food chain collapses).
