GMOs – Planned Sterilization of Humanity?

Do you remember Prince Philip saying that he hoped reincarnation was real so he could come back as a virus ? These parasites know that if people ever wake up from their slumber and realize that the so called "elite" bring nothing to the table but death and destruction. They're toast. Best to keep us dumb and passive.

I clipped this from the article....

GMOs are based on two strands; one involves insect resistance, the other is herbicide resistant and more dangerous, because it is glyphosate-tolerant. Glyphosate, known under its trade name ‘Roundup’, is however absorbed in the food fibers and has devastating health effects. The herbicide is an endocrine-disruptor, a chemical that at certain doses can interfere with the hormone system of mammals. These disruptions may cause cancer, infertility, miscarriage, birth defects and full sterility by the third generation, as the Russian study clearly demonstrated.


It mentions Roundup. Having come from an Agricultural up-bringing, I question the validity of this statement.

Farmers have used herbicides that selectively kill weeds, without killing the crop itself. Alternatively, Roundup is not selective, and will kill any vegetation it comes in contact with. So the plants that absorb the Roundup never get harvested or consumed. The attraction to use the herbicide was not for selective purposes, as the article seems to argue.

I am not advocating that herbicides etc are good. I am merely pointing out this article may be skewed.

Good thing I've already been given the antidote.

That's not true.
Roundup is used by farmers to spray on 'Roundup ready' crops, genetically modified seeds created by Monsanto to be immune to Roundup. Everything around it dies, except for the intended crop.

And according to the World Health Organization,round up is listed as a carcinogen.

I watched a reporter interview a Monsanto executive years ago.
Their claim was that Roundup is as safe as water.
The reporter produced a glass of Roundup and asked the executive to drink it.
Guess what happened?

Well, that wasn't my direct experience with Roundup.

I used it on the farm and it killed everything it touched. It was not selective, nor were the seeds / plants immune to it. When we used it, we had to be extremely careful not to touch other plants with it.

I can only speak from direct experience with the product. Perhaps things have changed since then.

I have done a lot of research on it.
Monsanto basically has a monopoly on the corn industry in the US.
Farmers must buy their seed from them, and cannot clean seeds year over year.
Monsanto will basically financially ruin the farmer, because the seeds are copyrighted.
Even if seed blows over from a neighboring farm.

I am not disagreeing that Monsanto etc are trying to have a monopoly etc. I finally did find one article that confirms what you are saying.

Here is the article...an interesting short read. http://home.howstuffworks.com/question357.htm

I don't really buy into the theory about sterilization or anything like that.

I do agree that screwing around with this stuff is not a great idea.

I agree... especially when big pharma, big agra, the government and science are colluding to fast track without proper testing.
Recently 19 (I think) EU member countries banned GMO crops until more can be learned about them.
Sadly I don't think North America will follow suit.

Excellent business plan. Shrink the future population so you have fewer people to sell to.
I love it.

Roundup Ready crops are genetically modified to be immune to Roundup so it kills everything except the crop. It is a simple and effective way to control weeds. Crops are sprayed early in the season so I expect there is no Roundup left in or on the crop at harvest.

Except for the fact that Monsanto recommends that farmers spray their crops just before harvesting.

A French scientist recently won a court case in France. GMO causes cancer. GMO also causes firtility issues. GMO is also the cause of bees dying due to the bees trying to cross-pollinate GMO plants.
GMO is also bad for soil, soil mineral/vitamin firtility and so many other things. I could rant all day.

think they talked about this on the new xfiles episodes. controlling the population.
