Selective Breeding vs Genetic Modification Part 2: Genetic Modification

For part 1 of this article ‘Selective Breeding vs Genetic modification Part 1:- Selective Breeding’, click here.

Genetic Modification

Genetic modification (GM) is designed to produce desired characteristics in a plant or animal by splicing a gene that has the desired characteristic directly into the genetic code of that plant or animal. It is much faster than selective breeding.

Problems with Genetic Modification

If there wasn’t a lot of money, power, and prestige to be gained from genetic modification, then genetic modification would be confined to the lab. Major problems so far identified include:

• GM crops marketed as ‘high yielding’ producing less than their non-GM predecessors
• Insufficient testing for toxins resulting in people getting sick
• People suffering new allergies to these crops
• Insecticide producing crops designed to kill insect pests also killing beneficial insects
• Weedicide tolerant crops invaded by ’super weeds’ that evolved from the weeds that the weedicide was designed to eradicate
• GM corporation tactics resulting in many farmer suicides in India
• Contamination of regular crops by pollen from GM crops
• Legal action taken by GM corporations against farmers whose crops have been contaminated by pollen from GM crops for growing crops containing genetic material owned and patented by the GM corporations
• Contamination of organic crops by GM pollen, rendering them non-organic
• Rogue genes from the food people eat can enter their own genetic material effectively turning these people into genetically modified organisms

If this last one doesn’t scare you into taking action, what will?

But if there were problems with GM, I would have read about it in the newspapers

You here this from Americans. People in the rest of the world often see newspaper articles about toxins in GM foods that had been inadequately tested in the US. The GM corporations and their pharmaceutical corporation parents effectively control the newspapers in the US by having big advertising budgets that can be withdrawn if they get adverse publicity. You are unlikely to read about many problems with GM food there.

Put your trust in the GM companies?

I hear people say, ‘You can trust the GM corporations, they wouldn’t do anything to cause harm’. The biggest GM corporation in the world today is also responsible for putting cocaine into Coca Cola, and the use of Agent Orange in Vietnam that poisoned millions of people and caused a multitude of birth defects, and DDT that almost wiped out the greatest living symbol of the United States of America, the Bald Eagle. I also hear people saying, ‘But the Government will stop them’. These corporations don’t totally run the government yet, but they have been known to get their own people installed into high positions of power within the Government, and they exert strong influence with their billions of dollars of  money for marketing and lobbying. If people knew all this do you think they would trust the corporations?

It’s worth the risk?

Scientists say about Genetic Modification, ‘It’s worth the risk’. What they don’t tell you is that the risk is the destruction of all life on Earth as we currently know it. Now that you know this, what do you think? Is Genetic Modification really worth the risk?

It’s about power and greed

There’s a lot of money to be made out of Genetic Modification, end of story. It’s a power and greed thing, like the King Charles Spaniel breeders (see part 1 of this article). If you consider that most of the GM corporations are owned by Pharmaceutical Corporations, then you are talking about a big winner. If people get sick from eating GM food then the Pharmaceutical Corporations can make billions selling their drug remedies. It is likely to become a trillion dollar rort. Trust them? Don’t forget the words of the Council of Europe meeting in January 2010 about swine flu, who accused the pharmaceutical corporations of staging a faked pandemic, causing Europe to waste over 10 billion dollars on vaccines.

Selective Breeding vs Genetic Modification

Selective Breeding is a proven science that has many benefits for us all. Genetic Modification, on the other hand, is a science that should be kept in the laboratory, or, better still, abandoned altogether. GM toxins will affect everyone who consumes them and they won’t forgive ignorance. Don’t be fooled by the smooth, multi-million dollar advertising campaigns. They are all deceptive. So far as benefiting humanity, GM is a fraud, a fake, an opportunity for money worshiping snake-oil salesmen to use clever marketing methods to fleece the world of our honest, hard earned money, without regard to the damage it does to life on this planet. ‘Clever marketing methods’? Yes, they must have spent billions researching how to manipulate politicians and programming the mass populace into thinking that GM is good. As they say, ‘turning peoples into sheeples’.

What can I do?

GM can and will destroy us if we let it. I encourage you to support the return to exclusive selective breeding as a means of improving plants and animals. Reject Genetic Modification and GM products in every way you can, at the supermarket and politically. We have been told that the use of Celestial Words of Power to raise the level of human evolution can help to alleviate the non-beneficial effects of GM food consumption.
