\r\nGMO\r\nDISEASE EPIDEMICS:
\r\n<\/span><\/span>
\r\n(11) \r\nMystery Diseases:  Human Health
\r\n
\r\n
\r\n<\/span>
\r\nI. \r\nThe Face of Frankenstein's Monster<\/span>
\r\n
\r\nGenetic\r\nEngineering Biotechnology (GE, GM, GMOs) evades Evolution's safeguards\r\nby injecting genes of one species into a totally unrelated species,\r\nsomething impossible in Nature.
\r\n
\r\nGM evades Evolution's safeguards, and may therefore give rise to PATHOGENS<\/span> that can\r\n-- and HAVE, many times --  caused crippling and deadly\r\nDISEASE EPIDEMICS <\/span>-- documented but unpublicised.
\r\n
\r\nGenetic Engineering is also ideal for developing horrific biological\r\nand other military weapons --- sufficient cause to OUTLAW GM<\/span>.
\r\n
\r\nThe Greatest Racket in\r\nHistory<\/span> (Listen to this !): ---
\r\n
\r\nGM contamination is virulent, spread by wind, bird, insect, animals and\r\ntravelling  human beings.  Co-Existence with GM is\r\ncompletely impossible, only fools or liars would say differently.<\/span>
\r\n
\r\nGM\r\nhas contaminated  crops in areas of North America which dwarf\r\nthe UK\r\nand even Western Europe.   Planetary contamination is\r\ninevitable, if We\r\ndon't stop it.
\r\n
\r\nThe Biotechnology corporations know oh-so-well how contamination\r\nspreads and spreads and spreads.
\r\n
\r\nNow\r\nget this:   Through their political influence, these\r\nCorporations have\r\nbeen able to acquire the obscene, sacrilegious, and indeed revolutionary \r\nPATENTS on LIFE-FORMS<\/span>.
\r\n
\r\nBefore\r\nthese revolutionary Patents on Life,  a farmer could have sued\r\nthe\r\nBiotechnology corporation-- successfully without any doubt -- \r\nfor\r\nhaving contaminated, poisoned his crops.
\r\n
\r\nHowever, given these Patents on Life (here, on the seeds<\/span>), the\r\nCorporation can -- and DOES, successfully -- sue the\r\nvictimised farmer for (Hold your nose) \"infringement of patent\".<\/span>
\r\n
\r\n[Our tainted, corrupted\r\npolitical systems allow this monstrosity.]<\/span>
\r\n
\r\nThus the formula the reader might keep in mind:
\r\nGM Contamination + Patents on Life-Forms  equals Corporate\r\nOwnership Rights in the crops of victimised farmers.
\r\n
\r\nThis formula spells the\r\nserfdom and ruin of all small family farmers on this planet.<\/span> \r\n(They are the majority of the population in Asia, Africa, and Latin\r\nAmerica).
\r\n
\r\nThe\r\nChemical-Drug-Biotechnology syndicate and its Enforcers <\/span>(corrupted\r\ngovernments in the West and Third World, corporation-dominated\r\norganisations like the WTO, World Bank, IMF) have started a WORLDWIDE\r\nAGRICULTURAL REVOLUTION.<\/span> <\/span>
\r\n
\r\nThey want to destroy small family farming, and have only gigantic\r\nCorporate GM Plantations with farmers working as serfs.
\r\n 
\r\n[This\r\nprocess is underway, especially in South America where the U.S.\r\nMilitary has begun to intervene on behalf of GM Plantations to crush\r\nfarmer opposition.]
\r\n
\r\nAlready, according to the Research Foundation for Science, Technology\r\nand Ecology (RFSTE) in New Delhi,  40,000\r\nfarmers in India have committed suicide<\/span>\r\nprimarily as a result of the Corporate Enforcers' so-called \"free\r\ntrade\" policies --- dumping heavily-subsidised Western farm produce\r\nonto glutted Indian markets, pushing GM crops, insisting that Patents\r\non Life-Forms be accepted so farmers must sign contracts with GM\r\nCorporations and can no longer save seeds, etc.
\r\n
\r\nThe\r\nGreatest Racket in History<\/span>\r\n--- GM Contamination + Patents on Life-Forms equals Corporate\r\nProprietary Rights in the crops of victimised farmers, and spells the\r\nserdom and ruin of small family farmers everywhere on this planet.
\r\n
\r\nWe\r\nMUST OUTLAW GM and PATENTS on LIFE-FORMS -- or else !! <\/span>\r\n
\r\n(e.g. No more organic, healthy food --- you and your children will only\r\nbe able to eat unsafe GM) 
\r\n
\r\nSee the Action Plan in Part III designed to OUTLAW GM and PATENTS on\r\nLIFE-FORMS. 
\r\nBut beforehand, read the next in our series of \"GMO Disease\r\nEpidemics\".

\r\n
\r\nAt\r\nleast 50 new viruses attacking human health<\/span> <\/span>\r\nemerged between 1988 and 1996.

\r\n
\r\nLaboratory tests show\r\nthat the genetic engineering process can produce novel viruses.<\/span>

\r\n<\/span>The\r\nPhilippines.   \"Scientists\r\nSuspect Health Threat from GM Corn\"<\/span> (The Guardian<\/span>, 28\r\nFebruary 2004)
\r\n 
\r\n \"Scientists \r\ninvestigating a spate of illnesses among people living close to GM\r\nfields in the Philippines believe that the crop may have triggered\r\nfevers, respiratory illnesses and skin reactions.\"
\r\n  [Continuing to quote from the above article on the\r\nPhilippines]
\r\n\"His team [that of Terjee Traavik, scientific director of the Norwegian\r\nInstitute of Gene Ecology} also said it had found genetically\r\nengineered viruses used in the GM process recombined with natural\r\nviruses to create new hybrid viruses with<\/span><\/span>\r\nunpredictable characteristics<\/span>..  It confirmed\r\nthis could suggest that they could\r\ncause new diseases<\/span>.\"<\/span>
\r\n <\/span>
\r\n<\/span>
\r\n \"Could\r\ncause new diseases\"<\/span>\r\n<\/span>such as Bird\r\nFlu? SARS? <\/span>  California's Poison Oak Death<\/span>? \r\nThe<\/span>\r\nmysterious disease that caused 95% of Florida's elkhorn coral to die in\r\na short period of time? The\r\n50 new viruses that emerged between 1988 and 1996?  The new\r\nviruses which have emerged since 1996?

\r\n<\/span>
\r\nE.\r\ncoli 0157:H7<\/span> is one such mystery disease<\/span>\r\nwhich has<\/span>\r\nbeen scientifically analysed. 
\r\n(Scientists\r\ngenerally avoid doing such analyses for fear they will find GMOs and\r\ncause trouble for themselves from corporations and corporation-biased\r\ngovernments.)
\r\n
\r\nGenetic engineering<\/span>\r\nappears to be the cause of a pathogen<\/span>\r\nwhich is responsible annually in the USA for some 75,000 cases of\r\ninfection.

\r\n
\r\n
\r\nSARS<\/span> \r\n--- Scientific analysis finds the SARS virus to be derived very\r\nprobably from Genetic Engineering.  SARS is a new coronavirus\r\nunrelated\r\nto any previously known.
\r\n  
\r\n[Dr. Mae-Wan Ho and Prof. Joe Cummins, Institute for Science in Society]
\r\n<\/span>
\r\n
\r\nBIRD FLU<\/span> --- Like SARS, Bird Flu can jump\r\nspecies.  This is clue enough to suggest that it too derives\r\nfrom the GM process because\r\njumping species barriers is what Genetic Engineering is designed to do.<\/span>

\r\nComment:<\/span> \r\nIf one evades Evolution's safeguards, the emergence of 'unexpected'\r\npathogens is precisely what Nature tells us is bound to happen.<\/span> \r\n
\r\n
\r\nThis is occurring again and again and again, and will continue until we\r\nOUTLAW this nightmare\r\ntechnology<\/span>. <\/span>

\r\nIII.  Conclusion\r\nand What To Do<\/span>
\r\n
\r\n<\/span>Human beings and Nature, as we have known them, cannot\r\nsurvive in a GMO-Frankenstein world.  
\r\n
\r\nThe nightmare technology of Genetic Engineering Biotechnology, and its\r\nincestuous Patents on Life-Forms, must be OUTLAWED.
\r\n
\r\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>
\r\nHow To Do It<\/span>?
\r\n
\r\nThere is only one way to overcome this extremely powerful, \r\nruthless Corporation-Government-corporate Mass Media axis.
\r\n<\/span>
\r\nIt\r\nis to conduct grassroots Public Education Campaigns to educate and\r\npolitically activate the General Public, university \/ college students\r\nin particular.<\/span>
\r\n
\r\nThe General\r\nPublic<\/span>\r\n!!   Stop forever talking to the Converted. \r\nTo get around the\r\ncorporate media's suppression and distortion of truth,  one\r\nmust talk<\/span>\r\nto people and go\r\ndoor-to-door with leaflets and vocal messages. <\/span>
\r\nAnd major efforts must be made to inform and activate <\/span>university students.<\/span><\/span>
\r\n
\r\nImportant Hints: 
\r\n
\r\n(1)   Concentrate on  university students<\/span>. \r\n
\r\n
\r\n And  senior\r\ncitizens.<\/span>
\r\n   
\r\nI\r\nspeak to you now, elder citizens like\r\nmyself.    Put moral purpose into\r\nyour lives and help rescue this planet and your grandchildren.
\r\n
\r\n(2)   AVOID\r\nNGOs and all established organisations, especially large ones.<\/span> \r\nThey are not what they seem.
\r\n
\r\nTheir hierarchies and decision-making are corporation-influenced if not\r\noutright purchased.
\r\n
\r\nNever ever join\r\nthem.  Never ever give them Money. <\/span> \r\n
\r\n
\r\n  [see George Monbiot's very important article in The Guardian,  <\/span>4\r\nSeptember 2001, \"Sleeping\r\nwith the Enemy:  Consumer and Environmental Groups are Getting\r\ninto Bed with Big Corporations<\/span>]
\r\n<\/span>
\r\n[Note: In\r\ndeveloping countries there are some exceptions, but very very very few\r\nin the West. If by a miracle one of them ever conducts a genuine and\r\nsensible public education campaign, then you can help ou<\/span>t. \r\nBut NEVER<\/span>\r\njoin or give money to them.]
\r\n
\r\nThe environmental field especially is riddled with<\/span><\/span> wealthy, prestigious, deceptive<\/span>\r\norganisations adept at dilutng and derailing environmental\r\ncauses,  GM in particular. 
\r\n<\/span>
\r\n[I am thinking at this moment of one such organisation I have observed\r\nover a long period of time, in my view a very slick and dangerous FOE<\/span>\r\nof environmentalism, originally created by polluting Corporations to\r\ndeal with the growing environmental movement.
\r\nDon't go anywhere\r\nnear this one.]<\/span>
\r\n
\r\nWhen they talk about being 'practical' and seeking 'Coexistence'<\/span>\r\nwith GM,  let a red\r\nflag<\/span> go up.
\r\n
\r\nNothing short of OUTLAWING GENETIC ENGINEERING and PATENTS ON\r\nLIFE-FORMS will save us and our planet.
\r\n
\r\nDo your educational work\r\nas individuals or in small groups of people you know.<\/span>
\r\n
\r\nIn a little of your\r\nSPARETIME (perhaps 3 or 4 hours a week, but regularly, as part of an\r\nethical life-style):<\/span>
\r\n
\r\nEducate and activate\r\nthe Public by writing and telephoning and just talking to your family\r\nmembers, friends and acquantances; 
\r\n
\r\nWrite letters and make telephone calls to local, regional and national\r\nmedia<\/span>; 
\r\n
\r\nWrite, call and especially visit your legislative representatives and\r\nother government personnel,  and
\r\n
\r\nTake appropriate Direct\r\nAction<\/span>.<\/span><\/span>
\r\n<\/span>
\r\n
\r\nGood Luck to You.
\r\n
