From a sandwich board outside an Oxfam store in Germany.
Watch the movie, "Genetic Roulette" (which is available free AGAIN this week) and send it on to all your friends, family, co-workers, medical personnel, etc. (especially important for those living or who know people in California but this affects the entire world)
And watch these on Youtube!
The World According to Monsanto (Le monde selon Monsanto) watch FREE
Monsanto's Patent for a Pig watch FREE
And check out this project:
Then vote YES to labeling GE/GMO foods in California if you are in the state. Just say KNOW to GMO.
Tell the FDA:

We all have a right to be informed of what we might be ingesting. It's the most personal decision we make, several times a day. No more ignorance.

GE/GMO corn is currently grown in Spain, Portugal, and the Czech Republic (directly next to Germany) with the pressure on by the US and the WTO to accept them in every other country.
But almost all the animals for meat, eggs, and dairy in Europe and the US, currently are fed GE/GMO grains and sillage (all sprayed with Glyphosate aka Monsanto's Round-up which is creating superweeds while the pesticides engineered into every cell of the plant are creating super pests and also likely changing our gut flora while giving us leaky-gut syndrome (creating a host of ills including new allergies).
Plus I'm not convinced that the ubiquitous corn fields blanketing Deutschland to feed the biogas digesters (to make methane) are not full of Monsanto & Friends product since it's not being grown for food purposes (though it is polluting and releasing GMO genes through massive herbicide use, and the open pollination).
And there are 120 other biotech crops already approved or awaiting approval in Europe and elsewhere.
Quite frankly, with all the corporate scaremongering from the GMO companies -- led by the Master of them all Monsanto -- I cannot help but make comparisons to Mao Tse Tung and his Great Leap Forward, and later his Cultural Revolution campaigns in which millions upon millions died of starvation because of utter mismanagement, and complete incompetence.
What is this worth to us to give over complete control of the food supply to megalomaniac chemical companies?
As Kissinger implied in the 70s, Control oil and you control nations; control food and you control the people...
Well Manicured Man explains parts of the alien conspiracy to FBI Agent Mulder:
The Well-Manicured Man walks towards them.)
WELL-MANICURED MAN(secret government member holding power by the understanding of secret information about power(XFPP)): Hello again, young lady.
SCULLY: Where's Victor Klemper?
WELL-MANICURED MAN: Oh, poor Klemper. .........
.......( Mulder holds up the photograph.)
You're one of the men in this photo. You knew my father.
WELL-MANICURED MAN: Yes. Since we were young men.
MULDER: You were involved in this project. You know why the medical data was being collected.
WELL-MANICURED MAN: Yes, I do, indeed. In 1947, a spacecraft was reportedly recovered in New Mexico. No doubt you know of this and of the reported recovery of a body at the site. These incidents not only coincided with the end of World War II, but an ignominious project which brought Nazi scientists and war criminals to this country to exploit their knowledge.
SCULLY: Operation Paper Clip.
WELL-MANICURED MAN: Yes, you know of it already. And you must also know the work of Doctor Joseph Mengele, the Nazi angel of death.
SCULLY: Mengele thought that he could produce a super-race through genetic engineering.
WELL-MANICURED MAN: As did many of his colleagues at the Institute of Hereditary Biology and Racial Hygiene.
SCULLY: Like Victor Klemper?
WELL-MANICURED MAN: Poor Victor. He loved his orchids. Did you know that he was able to create some of the most beautiful hybrids?
MULDER: Klemper was trying to create an alien-human hybrid. That's what I saw in the boxcar. He was using human test subjects.
SCULLY: Mulder, wait.
MULDER: My father was involved in this?
SCULLY: The technology wasn't there, Mulder. DNA wasn't even identified until 1944. This is all a lie.
WELL-MANICURED MAN: When your father realized what the medical data was being used for, he objected strenuously.
MULDER: He collected those files?
WELL-MANICURED MAN: With the threat of nuc..le.ar hol..oca..ust in the 1950s, the government instructed men like your father to gather genetic data on the general populous for the purpose of post-apocalyptic identification.
MULDER: The vaccination records. They took tissue from everyone who received a small pox inoculation.
WELL-MANICURED MAN: Hundreds of millions of Americans.
MULDER: So that Victor Klemper had access to a DNA database of nearly everyone who was born since 1950.
SCULLY: Mulder, this man is telling you everything that you want to hear but it's a fabrication, it is pure science fiction. There were no experiments with aliens.
WELL-MANICURED MAN: Why would I lie to you?
SCULLY: Like you said before, to protect yourself and the continuation of the Nazi agenda... human tests.
MULDER: Why was your file there, Scully?
(She looks back at him in shock that Mulder is going against her on this issue.)
SCULLY: I don't know.
MULDER: There were current records on file.
SCULLY: Yes, but records of what, Mulder?
MULDER: Of abductions! Of abductees.
(She glares at him and storms off.)
They took my sister. Why?
WELL-MANICURED MAN: They took her as insurance because your father threatened to expose the project.
MULDER: Why her? Why not me?
WELL-MANICURED MAN: It's not for me to say but your life in danger now too. You also threaten to expose the project. You have become your father.
MULDER: Why are you telling me this?
WELL-MANICURED MAN: It's what you want to know... isn't it?
(He starts off.)
MULDER: Is there more?
(The Well-Manicured Man looks back at him.)
WELL-MANICURED MAN: More than you'll ever know.
(He walks off.)

Posted by "X-files-physics-pittsburgh" group not as truth but as a way to introduce topics discussed at our meetings. I produce these blogs/websites for the purpose of getting in contact with interested parties, otherwise if it is not understood by any one then I have wasted a lot of time with the internet and should have just stayed in the Laboratory??

RIPE postdoctoral researcher Amanda DeSouza genetically engineers cassava, adding genes to increase the yield of this staple root crop.
Realizing Increased Photosynthetic Efficiency (RIPE) is engineering plants to more efficiently turn the sun’s energy into food to sustainably increase worldwide food productivity. The international research project is funded by a $25 million grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Learn more at ripe.illinois.edu/.

This beautiful image belies the fact that this crop is probably genetically engineered and certainly designed for large, pesticide-ridden monocultures. Central planning anyone? Meanwhile, the tiny organic demonstration gardens nearby seem unfunded and underrepresented. At the Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa. See: Family farming and
Small-scale agriculture vs. Factory Farms (2). Sustainable agriculture organizations in Canada (2) (3) including the Canadian Biotechnology Action Network.
Central Farm or Central Planning?
Samples of tropical forages conserved in vitro at CIAT gene bank in Colombia. Seeds of these plants were recently sent for conservation to the Global Seed Vault in Svalbard, Norway.

The takeout salad container is GMO Free.
Tater Ware, because it's made from potato starch. Are there any genetically modified potatoes?
Improved bush beans perform better than local varieties, but delivery systems to get them to farmers are key. Visit: www.pabra-africa.org
