Genetic Engineering (GE,GM,GMOs) is a nightmare technology that has already caused many disease epidemics-- documented but unpublicized. Note that GE medicine has been totally ignored by environmentalists and anti-GMO campaigners. Read and take heed -- it may save your health or life.

GMO
DISEASE EPIDEMICS:
(2) Hepatitis B Vaccine
I.
The Face of Frankenstein's Monster
Genetic
Engineering Biotechnology (GE, GM, GMOs) is a nightmare technology that
evades Evolution's safeguards by injecting genes of one species into a
totally unrelated species, something impossible in Nature.
GM evades Evolution's safeguards, and may therefore give rise to PATHOGENS that can
-- and HAVE, many times -- caused crippling and deadly
DISEASE EPIDEMICS -- documented but unpublicised.
Genetic Engineering is also ideal for developing horrific biological
and other military weapons --- sufficient cause to OUTLAW GM.
The Greatest Racket in History (Listen to this !): ---
GM contamination is virulent, spread by wind, bird, insect, animals and
travelling human beings. Co-Existence with GM is
completely impossible, only fools or liars would say differently.
GM
has contaminated crops in areas of North America which dwarf
the UK
and even Western Europe. Planetary contamination is
inevitable, if We
don't stop it.
The Biotechnology corporations know oh-so-well how contamination
spreads and spreads and spreads.
Now
get this: Through their political influence, these
Corporations have
been able to acquire the obscene, sacrilegious, and indeed revolutionary
PATENTS on LIFE-FORMS.
Before
these revolutionary Patents on Life, a farmer could have sued
--
successfully without any doubt -- the Biotechnology corporation for
having contaminated, poisoned his crops.
However, given these Patents on Life (here, on the seeds), the
Corporation can -- and DOES, successfully -- sue the
victimised farmer for (Hold your nose) "infringement of patent".
[Our tainted, corrupted
political systems allow this monstrosity.]
Thus the formula the reader might keep in mind:
GM Contamination + Patents on Life-Forms equals Corporate
Ownership Rights in the crops of victimised farmers.
This formula spells the
serfdom and ruin of all small family farmers on this planet.
(They are the majority of the population in Asia, Africa, and Latin
America).
The
Chemical-Drug-Biotechnology syndicate and its Enforcers (corrupted
governments in the West and Third World, corporation-dominated
organisations like the WTO, World Bank, IMF) have started a WORLDWIDE
AGRICULTURAL REVOLUTION.
They want to destroy small family farming, and have only gigantic
Corporate GM Plantations with farmers working as serfs.
[This
process is underway, especially in South America where the U.S.
Military has begun to intervene on behalf of GM Plantations to crush
farmer opposition.]
Already, according to the Research Foundation for Science, Technology
and Ecology (RFSTE) in New Delhi, 40,000
farmers in India have committed suicide
primarily as a result of the Corporate Enforcers' so-called "free
trade" policies --- dumping heavily-subsidised Western farm produce
onto glutted Indian markets, pushing GM crops, insisting that Patents
on Life-Forms be accepted so farmers must sign contracts with GM
Corporations and can no longer save seeds, etc.
The Greatest
Racket in History --- GM Contamination + Patents on Life-Forms equals
Corporate Proprietary Rights in the crops of victimised farmers, and
spells the serdom and ruin of small family farmers everywhere on this
planet.
We
MUST OUTLAW GM and PATENTS on LIFE-FORMS -- or else !!
(e.g. No more organic, healthy food --- you and your children will only
be able to eat unsafe GM)
See the Action Plan in Part III designed to OUTLAW GM and PATENTS on
LIFE-FORMS.
But beforehand, read the next in our series of "GM Disease
Epidemics".

II. The Horror of
Genetically-Engineered Medicine and the GM Hepatitis B Vaccine Epidemic
(a) Genetically engineered medicine and vaccines
are extremely dangerous
and should be outlawed. GM medicine/vaccines are entirely
unnecessary as well, and insult the Hippocratic Oath.
[Comment:
The
Drug Corporations would drop genetically-engineered drugs like a hot
potato were it not for the abusive
Patent laws (awarding monopolies), especially Patents on
Life-Forms, and the
corruption of Government which insulates the corporations
from serious liability.]

(b) Item:
London,
March 2006 ---
Six healthy male volunteers were given an experimental drug
manufactured by a German biotechnology company,
TeGenero. The drug,
supposedly intended as an "immune stimulant", was
genetically engineered.
It came as little surprise to this observer when it was
announced that all 6 men suffered
multiple organ failure and nearly died, and that one of
them may remain in a coma for a year or more.
One of the 6 victims said he felt like his brain was "on
fire". "I thought my eyeballs were going to pop out."
Either
this victim or another has been nicknamed "the Elephant Man', because
his head swelled out to three times its normal size !!
It was also unsurprising that the BBC, International Herald Tribune
(New York Times),
etc.,
apparently suppressed the fact that the
drug was genetically engineered. (Could they conceivably be
accused of ignorance? Surely not possible.)

(c)
The Hepatitus B vaccine was genetically
engineered. On account of
this vaccine, during the 1990s there were, in the USA alone, more than
17,000 cases of hospitalisations, injuries and deaths,
including the deaths of 72 children, reported to the
Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) of the U.S. government.
[Dr. Philip Incao's testimony to the Health Committee of the Ohio House
of Representatives, 1 March 1999]
Note: a former FDA (U.S. government Food and Drug
Administration)
Commissioner wrote in 1993 in the prestigious medical journal, JAMA,
that a study showed "only
about 1 percent of serious events attributable to drug reactions are
reported to the FDA".
USA Question: Are serious events attributable to vaccines
better reported to VAERS?
UK Question: Is
the MMR vaccine genetically engineered?
If it is, one can readily understand why AUTISM might conceivably be
linked to it.

(d)
Labelling, Identification and GM Causation of Diseases
GM drugs are generally (entirely?)
unlabelled. This alone is outrageous.
If
you want to have a little fun, ask your doctor if the drug he/she is
prescribing happens to be genetically engineered. Doctors do
not like
being asked important questions for which they have not the foggiest
notion of an answer.
In the last two decades, any drug that has been associated with
particularly nasty adverse reactions, should have been analysed (and its patent searched)
for
possible GMO content and GM causation of those adverse reactions.
This
of course has not been done. (never? probably
Never. Ordinary
scientists, who are pretty uniformly on 'Their side' -- they wouldn't
dare. And 'Our
side' is not bright enough to have thought of it. )
Recommendation:
Start doing it now.

(e) Extremely Important Fact:
"The third largest cause of
death and illness in the [western] world is medical intervention
[essentially, prescribed drugs]." ---
Paul Flynn MP, House of Commons Health Select Committee
report on "The
Influence of the Pharmaceutical Industry", April 2005, vol. 2, p. 153
Only cancer and heart disease are bigger killers than prescribed drugs.
As for heart
disease, mark that the
arthritis pain reliever, Vioxx, caused an estimated 140,000 heart
attacks and up to 55,000 deaths in the USA alone.
[
Dr. David J. Graham, former associate safety director of the FDA; and
see "Intimidation, Politics and Drug Industry Cripple U.S. Medicine",
Ritt Goldstein, Inter Press Service, 31 December 2004 ]
Question: Is Vioxx
genetically engineered? Will anyone ever do an
analysis or search the patent for that information??
Indeed, in the United States (can Europe be any
different?)
prescribed drugs are surely the
leading cause of death and illness, at least equal to cancer and heart
disease combined, and quite possibly a multiple of this.
[see
"Modern Health Care System is the Leading Cause of Death", Gary Null
PhD, Carolyn Dean MD ND, Martin Feldman MD, et al,
www.mercola.com]

(f)
How many drugs are now genetically engineered?
8% of total global pharmaceutical market sales are accounted for by
genetically engineered drugs.
[Memorandum by the BioIndustry Association (PI 147), "The Influence of
the Pharmaceutical Industry"]
Worse, one-third of all drugs
in development are biologics !
[It is unclear whether the Memorandum refers to the UK only, or the
Western drug corporations in general. I think the latter.]
This ought to frighten anyone
who thinks he or she may ever again see a doctor or hospital.

III. Conclusion
and What To Do
Human beings and Nature, as we have known them, cannot
survive in a GMO-Frankenstein world.
The nightmare technology of Genetic Engineering Biotechnology, and its
incestuous Patents on Life-Forms, must be OUTLAWED.
How To Do It?
There is only one way to overcome this extremely powerful,
ruthless Corporation-Government-corporate Mass Media axis.
It
is to conduct grassroots Public Education Campaigns to educate and
politically activate the General Public, university / college students
in particular.
The General
Public
!! Stop forever talking to the Converted.
To get around the
corporate media's suppression and distortion of truth, one
must talk
to people and go
door-to-door with leaflets and vocal messages.
And major efforts must be made to inform and activate university students.
Important Hints:
(1) Concentrate on university students.
And senior
citizens.
I
speak to you now, elder citizens like
myself. Put moral purpose into
your lives and help rescue this planet and your grandchildren.
(2) AVOID
NGOs and all established organisations, especially large ones.
They are not what they seem.
Their hierarchies and decision-making are corporation-influenced if not
outright purchased.
Never ever join
them. Never ever give them Money.
[see George Monbiot's very important article in The Guardian, 4
September 2001, "Sleeping
with the Enemy: Consumer and Environmental Groups are Getting
into Bed with Big Corporations]
[Note: In
developing countries there are some exceptions, but very very very few
in the West. If by a miracle one of them ever conducts a genuine and
sensible public education campaign, then you can help out.
But NEVER
join or give money to them.]
The environmental field especially is riddled with wealthy, prestigious, deceptive
organisations adept at dilutng and derailing environmental
causes, GM in particular.
[I am thinking at this moment of one such organisation I have observed
over a long period of time, in my view a very slick and dangerous FOE
of environmentalism, originally created by polluting Corporations to
deal with the growing environmental movement.
Don't go anywhere
near this one.]
When they talk about being 'practical' and seeking 'Coexistence'
with GM, let a red
flag go up.
Nothing short of OUTLAWING GENETIC ENGINEERING and PATENTS ON
LIFE-FORMS will save us and our planet.
Do your educational work
as individuals or in small groups of people you know.
In a little of your
SPARETIME (perhaps 3 or 4 hours a week, but regularly, as part of an
ethical life-style):
Educate and activate
the Public by writing and telephoning and just talking to your family
members, friends and acquantances;
Write letters and make telephone calls to local, regional and national
media;
Write, call and especially visit your legislative representatives and
other government personnel, and
Take appropriate Direct
Action.
Good Luck to You.
P.S.

representative) see "Creating a Grassroots Democracy While Outlawing
Genetic Engineering"currently on the Indymedia Biotech
