You are unbelievably naive. The objective of "they" (call them the global elite, the new world order, whatever you want to), is to effectively ELIMINATE the population of Africa (and other 3rd world countries) in order to exploit the resources without interference. "They" attempted to do this with war and famine and genocide for decades. Then they attempted to do it with AIDS, and now they are going to do it by growing GMO products which not only damage the organs but ALSO results in reduced fertility.

plwhit you need to do a little more research to find out what the true agenda is. It's out there, all you have to do is look for it.

pretty sure you've already posted this at least 3 times.
instead of posting the same stuff over and over again, why not address the responses to your previous posts, if you are able?

Monsanto, a self-proclaimed solver of global agriculture problems, has really just brought more and more chemicals into our food supply. GAP coalition partner, the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS), gave the company a failing grade yesterday in documenting eight ways Monsanto has taken agriculture in the wrong direction.

Falling short on feeding the world. Monsanto’s genetically engineered crops have done little to increase crop yields.

maybe this doof should talk to some indian cotton farmers?



bt cotton has taken india from a net cotton importer to being set to overtake china as the largest producer of cotton in the world.

india started growing bt cotton in 2002.




Quote:
India may overtake China as the world's largest cotton producer by 2015 with the advantage of increased adoption of hybrid seeds and expected launch of newer biotechnology traits in cotton in the coming years.

China's cotton output is estimated at 45 million bales (170 kg each) in 2010-11. Production in India, the world's second biggest producer, is pegged at 33.9 million bales.

"We see India's cotton production to surpass China by 2015 based on the growth trend in last one decade," global non-profit body ISAAA National Coordinator Bhagirath Choudhary told reporters here.

Much of the boost to output is expected to come from newer biotechnology traits in cotton like increased tolerance to herbicides, some of which are due for the commercial release this year, he said.

where can one find this 'research' that documents the goal of eliminating billions of people via GMOs? what happens to first world populations in the US and canada - are they somehow immune?

link to these organ toxicity / reduced fertility studies while yr at it, please.

the 'gaia foundation'? really?

did you know that you can spray unlimited amounts of Bt toxin on your USA organic crops, and they can still be certified organic? hmm?

your article concerns the death of sheep in the telengana district of andhra pradesh, india, allegedly from foraging on Bt cotton stubble. why weren't sheep all over india dying of the same thing, seeing that 93% of indian cotton is now trangenic Bt? were only sheep in this particular district allowed to forage on bt cotton stubble?

neither animals nor humans have the cellular receptor required for Bt toxins, which is essential for toxic effects to occur.
why aren't millions of Americans dead of Bt poisoning?

Quote:
"I was in the Warangal District in the middle of December 2006, along with Professor Ronald Herring (Cornell University) and Dr S Shantharam (Biologistics International, US) and discussed sheep deaths with different groups of people and no one said that the sheep died only because they consumed Bt cotton plants.
The Officers of the Department of Agriculture of the Warangal District we met said that sheep death cannot be attributed to Bt cotton and that residual pesticides are probably the cause, and sheep died even before Bt cotton was cultivated in the area."
'do a little more research,' indeed.
why is it that the people most inclined to use this phrase are also the least likely to actually live by it?

Ye gods, there are so many conspiracies in your post I don't know where to begin.

It's funny that almost every conspiracy person uses the same mantra, they call people naive, ignorant... That only the conspiracy person knows THE TRUTH and they have THE PROOF.

This is hilarious because in a different conspiracy thread (chemtrails) the conspiracy people over there say it's the constant worldwide chemical spraying by some mysterious secret government agency that is eliminating the population, decreasing fertility rates and yadiyadiyada...

I wish all your conspiracy people would get together and decide on who is taking over the world and all....

Wow dude, real timely information... Did you bother to check on the date it was written?

Thousands of Sheep Die After Eating Bt Cotton Plants
Date Received: Thursday 11th May 2006

Reading the article I see it's another one of those "better read between the lines" deals that conspiracy people are famous for...

There is only "reports" of farmers saying the sheep died after grazing in Bt cotton fields, no official cause of death listed.

Ya think after almost 6 years they would have found out what really killed the sheep...

Yes before the news agencies started suppressing these types of reports under the pressure of Monsanto, Cargill, Dow, etc.

If you read the BBC reports, you will find that occasionally, one still slips through.

Hey 20yrsin, maybe you can explain why GM cotton has been increasingly planted since your 2006 article was written..
