(S.D. Wells) In this analysis, we are closely examining responses posted to questions on a Monsanto-based website that are most likely posed by the biotechnology scientists themselves (under pseudo-names) in order to either reassure GMO skeptics that there’s “nothing to fear here,” or to further spread propaganda that all things genetically modified are always 100 percent safe, 100 percent effective, and 100 percent sustainable – which are all false claims.

GMO Foods Will Soon Be Mislabeled As “Biofortified”
(Scott C. Tips) If you have ever been to Berlin, Germany in the late fall, you know how miserably wet, cold, and windy it can be. The only real refuge from those elements is to be found indoors. But even then there can be events that drive you right back outdoors and into the elements. Such was the case with the Codex Committee on Nutrition and Foods for Special Dietary Uses (CCNFSDU), which was holding its 40th session during the week of November 26-30, 2018, in that city.
New Study Finds Tampons are FILLED with Cancer-Causing and Infertility-Promoting Glyphosate
(Melissa Dykes) Have you ever considered that the majority of cotton (in the U.S. anyway) is genetically modified, and as such, it might be tainted with cancer-causing, endocrine-disrupting, infertility-promoting glyphosate?
Costco to be the First Major Retailer to Dump Monsanto’s Roundup and Glyphosate Herbicide from its Shelves
(Alex Pietrowski) It’s been said that voting with your dollars is the most effective way of creating change in this consumer/capitalist culture, and after years of petitioning major retailers to stop selling products that contain Monsanto’s toxic glyphosate herbicide it appears that Costco may be the first major store to remove this product from its shelves.
Whole Foods Pulls off Elaborate Five-year GMO Labeling Hoax; Lies to Customers and Hopes Nobody Remembers
(Mike Adams) Whole Foods Market, now owned by Amazon, has pulled off an elaborate five-year GMO labeling hoax that deceived its own customers while promoting the ongoing sales of genetically engineered foods. Back in 2013, under intense pressure from honest food advocates who exposed Whole Foods’ retailing of unlabeled GMOs, the food giant disarmed critics by promising that, by the end of 2018, everything it sells would be accurately labeled with its GMO content.
Beware of GMO Potatoes
(Dr. Mercola) Any product made with potato will henceforth be subject to added scrutiny before it can receive The Non-GMO Project’s verification stamp.1 The reason? The now widespread prevalence of genetically engineered (GE) potato in the U.S. food supply.
World’s Most Popular Cereals Contain Ingredients That Are Registered with EPA as “Biopesticides”
(S.D. Wells) Biopesticides are particular types of pesticides, derived from the bacteria in plants and animals, that kill insects. Scientists in laboratories insert the genes of these bacterial pesticides into the DNA sequences of seedlings (i.e. Mycogen seeds) of our most popular crops, like corn, soy, and canola, and then claim they’re all totally safe for human consumption, even though they dissolve the digestive tracts and destroy the reproductive capabilities of worms, beetles, frogs, bees, birds, and just about anything else that eats them.
Scientists Accuse DARPA of Genetically Modifying Insects for Bioweapon to Spread Agricultural Viruses
(Matt Agorist) A scathing report was published in Science Magazine this week that accuses DARPA of developing a bioweapon that uses swarms of modified insects to deliver viruses.
Restore Soil and Heal Humanity | Simple Changes in Conventional Farming Practices, Particularly Those That Repair Soil, Could Be the Key to Feeding the World
(Isabelle Z.) Not surprisingly, the promises that GMOs would save the world from hunger have failed to materialize. In addition to failing to make inroads in this serious issue, they’re also causing a slew of health and environmental problems. It’s clear that a different approach is needed, and it looks like one of the simplest solutions could end up being one of the best.
Genetically Modified Children – New Film Unveils the ‘Monstrous’ Child Deformities Caused by Agrochemicals in Argentina
(Dr. Mercola) The shocking film “Genetically Modified Children” unveils the horrors of decades of chemical-intensive agricultural practices in Argentina, where the majority of crops are genetically modified (GM) and routinely doused in dangerous agrochemicals, and the chokehold big tobacco companies such as Philip Morris and chemical and seed giants have on poverty-stricken farmers desperate to earn a living.
The Corporate Takeover of Organic Food
(Dr. Joseph Mercola) Why did the Organic Trade Association, which says its mission is to promote and protect organic, support measures against GMO labeling? Why is the OTA increasingly succumbing to influential corporate members that seemingly do not belong?
Trump Rescinds Ban on GMO? Wrong. Just a Fake News Tidal Wave from the Controlled Mass Media
(S.D. Wells) For truth news seekers and Constitutionalists, Trump couldn’t be a better POTUS, but for protecting the environment, clean food, and the animals responsible for 75 percent of all U.S. food, he’s falling short – or so the fake news media would have us all believe. Limited farming for the purposes of wildlife food and habitat is permitted in dozens of U.S. wildlife refuges, but genetically modified crops, such as GM corn and soy, were not, unless addressed on a case by case basis, according to an Obama-era ban.
Humanity Has Become One Massive Genetic Experiment: What Everyone Should Know About GMOs
(Arjun Walia) In March 2014, scientists from Indiana University announced that they had conducted research to examine the operations of the fruit fly genome “in greater detail than ever before possible” and had identified “thousands of new genes, transcripts and proteins.”
Anti-GMO Mosquito Activist in DC to Deliver Petition to EPA Found Floating Dead in Hotel Pool
(Jay Syrmopoulos) An anti-GMO mosquito activist was in Washington DC to deliver a petition to the EPA when she was found dead, floating in the pool of her hotel. Police are refusing to release details surrounding the case.
