The TPP and GMOs: what’s so bad about death?

The text of the TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership) has now been published here.

This Globalist treaty will put mega-corporations even further ahead in their efforts to dominate markets and populations.

“The parts of the TPP that cover food safety are especially troubling,” states the watchdog Food and Water Watch:

American consumers are pushing to block the use of artificial and potentially risky processes and ingredients, like antibiotics and GMOs, but the TPP could trump these democratic efforts to improve our food supply,’ said [Wenonah] Hauter [Food and Water Watch executive director]… Agribusiness and biotech seed companies can now more easily use trade rules to challenge countries that ban GMO imports, test for GMO contamination, do not promptly approve new GMO crops or even require GMO labeling.

The majority of Monsanto’s GMO crops are engineered to withstand huge amounts of the pesticide Roundup, and the main ingredient in Roundup is glyphosate, which the World Health Organization now lists as a “probable carcinogen.” As in: cancer.

That’s a recent finding. But what did Monsanto know decades ago?

From GM Watch, November 6; “Monsanto’s secret studies reveal glyphosate link to cancer”:

Monsanto has known for almost four decades that glyphosate causes cancer, according to a new paper by researchers Anthony Samsel and Stephanie Seneff.

Samsel is the first independent researcher to examine Monsanto’s secret toxicology studies on glyphosate. He obtained the studies, which have been denied to other inquirers, via a request to his senator. With his co-researcher Dr Stephanie Seneff of MIT, he reviewed Monsanto’s data.

Samsel and Seneff concluded that ‘significant evidence of tumours was found during these investigations’.

However, they add, ‘to create doubt and obscure the statistical significance of inconvenient findings, which may have prevented product registration’, Monsanto introduced irrelevant historical control data from other experiments. This is data from the control animals in other unrelated experiments, which may have been carried out under widely differing conditions.

This practice had the effect of creating experimental noise which cancelled out the statistically significant findings of increased tumours in any one experiment.

In various cancer experiments, Samsel and Seneff found, Monsanto introduced spurious data from 3, 5, 7 and even 11 unrelated study controls to effectively eliminate results, as needed.

Getting the picture?

The new TPP greatly benefits corporations like Monsanto, and can enable the growing and shipping of all sorts of GMO crops (laden with titanic quantities of Roundup), without labeling, without inspection, and without the power of national governments to stop this ongoing crime—even though Monsanto knew, long ago, that Roundup causes tumors.

Where is the US Justice Department? Nowhere. Where is Obama, who is desperately pushing for passage of the TPP? Nowhere.

Maybe, although we don’t know it, “the science is settled.” Roundup is actually good for you. It raises IQ, extends physical endurance, elevates mood, assures safe pregnancies, promotes freedom, ensures equality and justice for all, secretly puts money in your bank account while you’re sleeping, and makes everybody love one another right now.

Operators are standing by. Call 800-THE FIX IS IN and support Monsanto for the Nobel Peace Prize.
