38 sovereign nations ban GMOs

What do these nations know that the USA does not know? Nothing special. They have dealt with the facts, and taken action to support the human beings who are the citizens of their nation -- rather than falling to bended knee before the Multinational Corporate Ag Borg.

The picture painted by the Biotech industry and the U.S. government - and so often shamelessly touted on the Internet - that GM crops have been accepted by the majority of countries worldwide is therefore false.

WHO cancer agency publishes Q&A on carcinogenic glyphosate - Gag me with a GMO cocktail

Glyphosate is the poison used with over 80% of GMO crops, and manufactured by many of the most aggressive GMO corporations. By now glyphosate has infested vast parts of the industrial agriculture wasteland, and is turning up in all sorts of places where it ought not to be, such as in beer and tampons.

Ignore the relentless, insidious corporate propaganda flung hither and yon on the intertubes, and instead read the actual unbiased science in this Q & A from WHO (World Health Organization).

Stand strong for your basic human right to know what strange unnatural substances are in the food the GMO-Chemical-Pharmaceutical corporations want to continue to secretly (without labels) serve up to you and your children.

The World Health Organization’s cancer agency IARC has published a Q&A on the probable carcinogen and World’s most used herbicide – glyphosate.

The Q&A makes it clear that glyphosate alone is both a probable human carcinogen and is genotoxic.

"If you are anti-GMOs you are anti-science."

That mind-twisting meme is a steady, unrelenting drumbeat...

It's also a deliberate and ongoing corporate propaganda strategy.. Be wary of of the "tent pole" strategy.

"Recent disclosed documents have also exposed numerous scientific experts enlisted in Monsanto’s messaging (and other corporate messaging as well). But what is most pernicious is that a whole new rhetorical talking point has come to the forefront, which threatens anyone – particularly scientists – who speak out against their “tent pole” technology: If you are anti-GMOs you are anti-science...

The new talking point represents a brilliant strategy to promote genetic engineering. Most people do not want to be characterized as anti-science, not journalists, not public officials, not celebrities, and least of all, not trained and educated scientists. Furthermore, the propaganda plays to pro-science liberals who have accused conservatives of being anti-science due to their denial of climate change."

Republican Senate Ag committee approves Dark ACT to pimp GMO infestation

The month of March is roaring in not like a lion, but like a Republican corporate industrial chemical pharmaceutical GMO-glyposate SHIT STORM, Inc. to guarantee that you will never ever ever ever ever ever know what kind of genetic-industrial crap corporations are dumping into the food you feed your family.

Today the Senate Agriculture Committee narrowly passed a version of the House-adopted Deny Americans the Right to Know, or DARK Act.

The bill will block states from enacting GMO labeling laws and make it harder for companies to voluntarily label foods made with genetically engineered ingredients.
