Jump To Comment: 1 2 3Taking on these powerful lobbies is almost impossible within the usual framework. What is needed is an additional attack on all fronts especially the Vatican that has openly embraced this technology. The Vatican say the technology is needed to feed the world’s population. It is now time to start questioning everything by thinking for ourselves and asking these organisations to justify their stance within their God dogmas. If one looks at the recent campaign against UK Supermarkets employment tactics and the public backlash that shows they soon pull in their horns once they are exposed. Gm technology will not save the world; it is just another technology on the road to the technological singularity, where machine intelligence will surpass human intelligence, with the attendant consequences for our demise. It is now time for people to really ask themselves, are we in charge on this planet or mere observers where everything is already predetermined by unknown forces?
GM potatoes will not feed the world. All talk about higher yields has been shown in practice to be untrue. All these companies such as monsanto want is to get lucrative patents on the food we grow and the seed we buy so they gain control over the food chain and profit handsomely by forcing us to grow a GM monoculture and pay royalties each year to them, and drown our soil in ever increasing quantities of toxic roundup we have to also purchase from them.
We've seen how they acted in canada with their rapeseed and in india with their cotton etc.
You honestly think the company that brought you agent orange gives a shit about feeding the world??

Lots of information on past attempts at introducing GM here:

..that Monsanto bought Blackwater(the Mercenary arm of Pentagonia)?
...seems they must have bought Teagasc too.
But the real crazy bit is that our publicly funded TDs are off to the nine corners of the planet for Paddy's Day...and justify it by blatantly bragging that they are away to SELL Oireland....think about it for half a minute...no need for polish or camoflage..
