Blatant Corruption Exposed as EU Blocks France’s Ban on Monsanto’s GMO Maize
Just
after France legislators and officials moved to ban Monsanto’s
genetically modified strain of GMO maize over environmental and health
concerns, the European Union has decided to step
in and re-secure Monsanto’s presence in the country — against the very
will of the nation itself. This should come as no surprise when
considering the fact that the United States ambassador to
France, a business partner to George W. Bush, stated back in 2007 that
nations who did not accept Monsanto’s GMO crops will be ‘penalized’. In fact, ambassador Craig Stapleton went as far as to say that the nations should be threatened with military-styled trade wars.
That’s right, it appears the reason for the unprecedented move to
maintain Monsanto’s deeply-rooted foothold in France has to do with the
fact that the United States and other nations are continually pushing
Monsanto’s agenda — even going as far as to threaten military-styled
trade wars to those who oppose the company. Monsanto has major
connections with political heads that have actually threatened trade
wars against nations opposed to GMOs on record. As I reported back in
January, WikiLeaks cables surfaced revealing and startling information
concerning Monsanto’s deep involvement with back-end politics.
One of the most telling details involves a statement made by Craig Stapleton, in which he said:
“Country team Paris recommends that we calibrate a target retaliation list that causes some pain across the EU since this is a collective responsibility, but that also focuses in part on the worst culprits. The list should be measured rather than vicious and must be sustainable over the long term, since we should not expect an early victory. Moving to retaliation will make clear that the current path has real costs to EU interests and could help strengthen European pro-biotech voices.”
And that is not even the most shocking part. WikiLeaks cables go on to state that United States diplomats actually work directly for Monsanto,
furthering the agenda of the company across the globe. Is it any wonder
that France is being assaulted by the EU over its decision to secure
the health of its citizens?
It becomes even more obvious when examining the ridiculous reasoning
as to why the EU had to step in and block France’s in-house legislation.
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) rejected the ban
on the grounds that “there is no scientific evidence” that shows “risk
to human and animal health or the environment.” Of course there is an
overwhelming amount of research showing that Monsanto’s creations do in
fact threaten not only human health, but the planet as a whole. Even the
EPA has warned
over the fact that Monsanto’s GMO crops are spawning ‘mutant’ resistant
insects and subsequently requiring substantially more pesticides.
Consumers are waking up to Monsanto’s agenda and the dangers associated with their modified creations. Over 45,000 comments
were submitted on the USDA website in opposition to Monsanto’s new
genetically modified strain, and only 23 in favor. The corruption of
Monsanto is now out in the open, and only serves to show how deeply
rooted the company is within the United States government. Is it any
coincidence that a major head of the FDA was a leading employee of
Monsanto?
