 Graphic Evidence of the Effects of a genetically modified food diet Genetically modified (GM) corn is rat poison. That is at least what the results of a controversial study linking GM feed with cancerous tumor growths in rats would seem to suggest.During a two-year study, originally published in the journal Food and Chemical Toxicology, Professor Gilles-Eric Seralini of the University of Caen and colleagues discovered that rats fed Monsanto’s “Roundup Ready” corn de... 7  |
Extinct Frog Resurrected With 'De-extinction' Technology An Australian science project to resurrect an extinct frog species has been named one of the world's best inventions. The Lazarus Project centres on a genome technology developed by researchers from the University of Newcastle. It was included in Time magazine's 25 Best Inventions of the Year 2013 list because it has been successfully used to bring back to life the gastric-brooding frog. 2 |

Genetically Modified Foods, Depopulation, and Prop. 37
Research and studies demonstrate that Genetically Modified (GM) foods potentially serve two purposes, neither of which is to feed the starving masses or increase crop yield on a long-term basis. Instead, the purposes of GM foods appear to be those of a bad science-fiction nightmare: (1) Reduce the human population by poisoning the food supply, causing increases in cancer, inflammation, disease, organ failure and premature deat... 6 |
Shock findings in new GMO study: Rats fed lifetime of GM corn grow horrifying tumors
The study has been deemed "the most thorough research ever published into the health effects of GM food crops and the herbicide Roundup on rats." News of the horrifying findings is spreading like wildfire across the internet, with even the mainstream media seemingly in shock over the photos of rats with multiple grotesque tumors... tumors so large the rats even had difficulty breathing in some cases. GMOs may be the new thalid... |
Trouble on the Horizon for Genetically Modified Crops?

Busted: Biotech Leader ‘Syngenta’ Charged Over Covering Up Animal Deaths from GM Corn Read more: http://naturalsoci
In a victory against genetically modified creations, a major biotech company known as Syngenta has been criminally charged for denying knowledge that its GM Bt corn actually kills livestock. What’s more is not only did the company deny this fact, but they did so in a civil court case that ended back in 2007. The charges were finally issued after a long legal struggle against the mega corp initiated by a German farmer wh... 1 |
 Study: Genetically Modified Corn Increases Body Weight in Rats Many crops in the U.S. are now genetically modified. For example, 93 percent of soybeans grown in the US are genetically engineered, as are: 86% of all corn 93% of canola 93% of cottonseed oil Between 2008 and 2009, 95% of all sugarbeets planted were genetically engineered to be able to tolerate high doses of the pesticide Roundup Some allege that Roundup kills healthy gut bacteria, and that genetically modified crops c... |
 Sayer Ji: Research: Roundup Diluted by 450-Fold is Still Toxic to DNA New research released ahead of print and published in the journal Archives of Toxicology indicates that Roundup, the most common formulation of the herbicide glyphosate, is not only more toxic than its constituent ingredients, but is capable of damaging DNA within a human cell line when diluted down to 450,000% lower concentrations than presently used in GMO agricultural applications. 2 |

Joan Brunwasser: YouTube and MTV Try to Shut Down New Cheney Indictment Film The film is about indicting Cheney for ordering torture, waterboarding in particular.And he has been so arrogant about his self-perceived immunity from prosecution that he has admitted publicly that he was "a big supporter of waterboarding".

So... it looks like if one wants to be a seriously writer these days, one has to be willing to take the Ethernet chip out of one's computer, put on headphones over the earplugs (to shut out the noise), and (ideally) blindfold one's self before sitting down at the typewriter.... 1 |
 Genetically modified cows produce 'human' milk - Telegraph The scientists have successfully introduced human genes into 300 dairy cows to produce milk with the same properties as human breast milk. Human milk contains high quantities of key nutrients that can help to boost the immune system of babies and reduce the risk of infections. The scientists behind the research believe milk from herds of genetically modified cows could provide an alternative to human breast milk and form... |
