The shocking minutes relating to President Putin’s
meeting this past week with US Secretary of State John Kerry reveal
the Russian leaders “extreme outrage” over the Obama regimes continued
protection of global seed and plant bio-genetic giants Syngenta and Monsanto in
the face of a growing “bee apocalypse” that the Kremlin warns “will most
certainly” lead to world war. According to these minutes, released in the
Kremlin today by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment of
the Russian Federation. Putin was so incensed over the Obama regimes refusal to
discuss this grave matter that he refused for three hours to even
meet with Kerry, who had traveled to Moscow on a scheduled diplomatic mission,
but then relented so as to not cause an even greater rift between these two
nations.
At the center of this dispute between Russia and the US,
this MNRE report says, is the “undisputed evidence” that a class of
neuro-active insecticides chemically related to nicotine, known
as neonicotinoids, are destroying our planets bee population, and which if
left unchecked could destroy our world’s ability to grow enough food to feed
its population.
So grave has this situation become, the MNRE reports, the
full European Commission (EC) this past week instituted a two-year precautionary
ban (set to begin on 1 December 2013) on these “bee killing”
pesticides following the lead of Switzerland, France, Italy, Russia,
Slovenia and Ukraine, all of whom had previously banned these most dangerous of
genetically altered organisms from being used on the continent.
Two of the most feared neonicotinoids being banned
are Actara and Cruiser made by the Swiss global
bio-techseed and pesticide giant Syngenta AG which employs over
26,000 people in over 90 countries and ranks third in total global sales in the
commercial agricultural seeds market.
Important to note, this report says, is that Syngenta,
along with bio-tech giants Monsanto, Bayer, Dow and DuPont,
now control nearly 100% of the global
market for genetically modified pesticides, plants and seeds.
Also to note about Syngenta, this report continues, is
that in 2012 it was criminally charged in Germany for concealing the
fact that its genetically modified corn killed cattle,
and settled a class-action lawsuit in the US for $105 million after
it was discovered they had contaminated the drinking supply of some 52 million
Americans in more than 2,000 water districts with its “gender-bending”
herbicide Atrazine.
To how staggeringly frightful this situation is, the MNRE
says, can be seen in the report issued this past March by the American Bird
Conservancy (ABC) wherein they warned our whole planet is in danger, and
as we can, in part, read:
“As part of a study on impacts from the world’s most
widely used class of insecticides, nicotine-like chemicals
called neonicotinoids, American Bird Conservancy (ABC) has called for a ban on
their use as seed treatmentsand for the suspension of all
applications pending an independent review of the products’ effects on birds,
terrestrial and aquatic invertebrates, and other wildlife.
“It is clear that these chemicals have the potential to
affect entire food chains. The environmental persistence of the neonicotinoids,
their propensity for runoff and for groundwater infiltration, and their
cumulative and largely irreversible mode of action in invertebrates raise
significant environmental concerns,” said Cynthia Palmer, co-author of the
report and Pesticides Program Manager for ABC, one of the nation’s leading bird
conservation organizations.
ABC commissioned world renowned environmental
toxicologist Dr. Pierre Mineau to conduct the research. The 100-page report,
“The Impact of the Nation’s Most Widely Used Insecticides on Birds,”
reviews 200 studies on neonicotinoids including industry research obtained
through the US Freedom of Information Act. The report evaluates the
toxicological risk to birds and aquatic systems and includes
extensive comparisons with the older pesticides that the neonicotinoids have
replaced. The assessment concludes that the neonicotinoids are lethal to birds
and to the aquatic systems on which they depend.
“A single corn kernel coated with a neonicotinoid can
kill a songbird,” Palmer said. “Even a tiny grain of wheat or canola treated
with the oldest neonicotinoid — called imidacloprid — can fatally poison a
bird. And as little as 1/10th of a neonicotinoid-coated corn seed per
day during egg-laying season is all that is needed to affect reproduction.”
The new report concludes that neonicotinoid contamination
levels in both surface- and ground water in the United States and
around the world are already beyond the threshold found to kill many aquatic
invertebrates.”
Quickly following this damning report, the MRNE says, a
large group of group of American beekeepers and environmentalists sued the
Obama regime over the continued use of these neonicotinoids stating: “We
are taking the EPA to court for its failure to protect bees from pesticides.
Despite our best efforts to warn the agency about the problems posed by
neonicotinoids, the EPA continued to ignore the clear warning signs of an
agricultural system in trouble.”
And to how bad the world’s agricultural system has really
become due to these genetically modified plants, pesticides and seeds,
this report continues, can be seen by the EC’s proposal this past week,
following their ban on neonicotinoids, in which they plan to criminalize nearly
all seeds and plants not registered with the European Union, and as we
can, in part, read:
“Europe is rushing towards the good ol days circa 1939,
40… A new law proposed by the European Commission would make it illegal to
“grow, reproduce or trade” any vegetable seeds that have not been “tested,
approved and accepted” by a new EU bureaucracy named the “EU Plant Variety
Agency.”
It’s called the Plant Reproductive Material Law, and it
attempts to put the government in charge of virtually all plants and
seeds. Home gardeners who grow their own plants from
non-regulated seeds would be considered criminals under this law.”
This MRNE report points out that even though this EC
action may appear draconian, it is nevertheless necessary in order to purge the
continent from continued contamination of these genetically bred
“seed monstrosities.”
Most perplexing in all of this, the MRNE says, and which
led to Putin’s anger at the US, has been the Obama regimes efforts
to protect pesticide-producer profits over the catastrophic damaging
being done to the environment, and as the Guardian News Service detailed
in their 2 May article titled “US rejects EU claim of insecticide as prime
reason for bee colony collapse” and which, in part, says:
“The European Union voted this week for a two-year ban on
a class of pesticides, known as neonicotinoids, that has been associated with
the bees’ collapse. The US government report, in contrast, found multiple
causes for the collapse of the honeybees.”
To the “truer” reason for the Obama regimes protection of
these bio-tech giants destroying our world, the MRNE says, can be viewed in the
report titled “How did Barack Obama become Monsanto’s man in Washington?” and
which, in part, says:
“After his victory in the 2008 election, Obama filled key
posts with Monsanto people, in federal agencies that wield tremendous
force in food issues, the USDA and the FDA: At the USDA, as the director of the
National Institute of Food and Agriculture, Roger Beachy, former director of
theMonsanto Danforth Center. As deputy commissioner of the FDA, the new
food-safety-issues czar, the infamous Michael Taylor, former vice-president for
public policy for Monsanto. Taylor had been instrumental in getting
approval for Monsanto’s genetically
engineered bovinegrowth hormone.”
Even worse, after Russia suspended the import and
use of an Monsanto genetically modified corn following a study suggesting
a link to breast cancer and organ damage this past September,
the Russia Today News Service reported on the Obama regimes response:
“The US House of Representatives quietly passed a
last-minute addition to the Agricultural Appropriations Bill for 2013
last week – including a provision protecting genetically modified
seeds from litigation in the face of health risks.
The rider, which is officially known as the
Farmer Assurance Provision, has been derided by opponents of biotech
lobbying as the “Monsanto Protection Act,” as it would strip federal
courtsof the authority to immediately halt the planting and sale
of genetically modified (GMO) seed crop regardless of
any consumer health concerns.
The provision, also decried as a “biotech rider,” should
have gone through the Agricultural or Judiciary Committees for review. Instead,
no hearings were held, and the piece was evidently unknown to most
Democrats (who hold the majority in the Senate) prior to its approval as part
of HR 993, the short-term funding bill that was approved to avoid a
federal government shutdown.”
