12 Years After Experimental Planting of Monsanto's GMO Wheat; Altered Plants Have Returned To Life

If you travel just East of Mount Hood and the Cascades of far-North Oregon you'll encounter orchards. Cherry orchards, pear orchards and some grape and even the occasional peach orchard. Travel another 10 or so miles east and the air and soil dry considerably. And that's where Oregon's wheat ranches begin (don't dare to call them farms, not to one of the masonic families by whom most are owned. Many are old ranches passed down from generation to generation The money is in the land, not the grandchildren.

Monsanto created a number of varieties of genetically altered wheat and between 1998 and 2005 conducted small 'very rigorous' studies of the seeds in 16 states. 

When it was determined there was no market for GMO'ed wheat (neither Europe or Asia wanted anything to do with frankenwheat), Monsanto swears they then  'rigorously' culled the test seeds - burning them then burying them six feet deep in their grave. What they didn't burn and bury, Monsanto claims they carried back home to St. Louis. 

These are the good looking folk of Saint Louis. You ought to see the residents who volunteer for Monsanto's R&D

Yet, now 12 years after its last small test plantings in the Pacific Northwest, Monsanto's GMO seed has re-appeared - no - Risen from the Dead! But this isn't the judeo-Christian's promised rapturious return of Jesus (the guy in whom one half of those 'judeo-christians' presumably don't believe); no this appears as if it is a 'Night of the Living Dead' inspired Zombie Attack. 

And this Monsanto-scripted 'B' horror could cost Oregon alone as much as one half billion dollars in income from wheat usually exported to Asia and Europe. Should Monsanto's flick happen to play in other Western wheat growing states it will trim billions from America's exports. 

Should this seed find its way into Manitoba's and Alberta's wheat, the rest of the world may have no choice but to import GMO'ed wheat as the Western US and Western Canada export more wheat than the rest of the world combined. 

Maybe that's the real reason this 'burned and buried 6 feet deep' devil returned from its grave. 

Thanks Monsanto. Thanks Politicians and whores for Monsanto. The rest of us owe you one.

Stunned researchers at Oregon State University couldn't help but question themselves. Once, twice, three times in early May -- in two different labs -- they analyzed DNA extracted from wheat plants grown on an eastern Oregon farm.
A farmer's attempt to kill the plants with weedkiller had failed, and a growing cadre of university and state agriculture officials wanted to know why. With each test, the result was the same: The wheat had been genetically modified to resist glyphosate, the key ingredient in the herbicide Roundup.
But that didn't make sense. The last Oregon test plantings of a "Roundup Ready" variety of wheat developed by Monsanto, which makes the herbicide, had ended 12 years before.
Genetically modified -- or GM -- wheat should not have been growing in that field. Or anywhere else, for that matter.
"This was a surprise to us," said Robert Zemetra, a wheat breeder at OSU's Crop and Soil Science Department. "We wanted to make sure we were not making a mistake.
"The importance of what was found was not lost on us."

Oregon's a hotbed for GMO fights

When it comes to controversies over genetically modified crops, Oregon has seen this fight before. And it's not just about wheat:

Canola -- Oregon has OK'd growing canola for food and renewable fuel in the Willamette Valley, despite objections from organic seed farmers. Among other worries, they fear genetically modified canola pollen will contaminate their organic broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts seeds, which aren't supposed to contain genetic modifications. Oregon House Bill 2427 would ban canola planting in the valley pending Oregon State University studies.

Sugar beets and alfalfa -- Oregon farmers worried about cross pollination helped lead lawsuits against Roundup Ready sugar beets and alfalfa, designed to withstand the Monsanto herbicide. GM foes won some significant court victories, spurring new regulatory reviews, but plantings and legal battles continue. The Willamette Valley is nearly the sole supplier of U.S. sugar beet seeds.

Creeping bentgrass -- The U.S. Department of Agriculture fined The Scotts Co. $500,000 in 2007 after Roundup Ready bentgrass spread 13 miles away from field trials in Jefferson County. In 2010, an Oregon State University weed science professor discovered genetically engineered creeping bentgrass in irrigation ditches in eastern Oregon that traveled miles from test plots in Idaho. Scotts has pledged to eradicate the wayward plants.

It wasn't lost on economists, policymakers, federal regulators or other farmers, either. The discovery, announced last week, immediately re-ignited a fierce argument about the safety and wisdom of genetically tweaking American crops.Japan postponed a 25,000-ton order from a Portland grain shipper, and South Korea and the European Union quickly called for new testing of American wheat. An Oregon crop valued at $300 million to $500 million a year was suddenly in jeopardy.
Food safety advocates adopted a we-told-you-so stance: The genie is out of the bottle, genetically modified plants cannot be controlled and -- in addition to perhaps posing health risks -- they foul American exports to a world that doesn't want to eat "frankenfood."
"Nature finds a way," said George Kimbrell, an attorney with the Center for Food Safety in San Francisco, arguing that even the most carefully regulated plant studies can go wrong.
A 2005 study estimated that the wheat industry stands to lose $94 million to $272 million annually if GM wheat was introduced, according to the center. Markets that aren't comfortable with the idea of GM food will simply stop buying, or buy elsewhere.
Kimbrell said the Oregon wheat incident is a replay of 2006, when unapproved GM rice was found in a U.S. harvest. The European Union banned U.S. imports, rice prices plunged and Bayer CropScience, which developed and field-tested the rice, agreed to pay $750 million in damages to American farmers.
Monsanto may be liable for damages if Oregon wheat growers or shippers lose sales, Kimbrell said.
He and other critics say U.S. regulation of genetically modified crops is weak, with regulators relying on company data and inadequate monitoring of the plants' geographical spread, particularly after testing is complete. U.S. Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Oregon, is trying to repeal the so-called "Monsanto Protection Act," a rider attached to a stopgap funding bill in March that strips federal courts of the ability to require more safety review for some genetically modified seeds.
Monsanto downplays the Oregon incident. The company maintains there are no food, feed or environmental safety concerns associated with the "Roundup Ready" gene. The U.S. Department of Agriculture issued a similar statement.
The company tested glyphosate-resistant wheat in 16 states, including Oregon, from 1998 to 2005. The last Oregon trial was in 2001, according to the USDA, and Monsanto ultimately withdrew its application to have the GM variety approved after it became clear export markets didn't want it. The company said it closed the testing program in a "rigorous, well-documented and audited" process that should have left no modified plants or seed remaining.
"While (test results) are unexpected, there is considerable reason to believe that the presence of the Roundup Ready trait in wheat, if determined to be valid, is very limited," Monsanto said in a prepared statement.
Hiroshi Furusawa, Japan's consul general in Portland, said Friday that his country will need assurance that Oregon wheat is safe. Japan imported about 3 million tons of U.S. wheat last year. Soft white wheat grown in the Pacific Northwest and shipped out of Portland is primarily used to make noodles and crackers.
"In terms of food safety, we are meticulously concerned about what we eat," Furusawa said. "I don't know if it is within our DNA, but somehow we are very picky as to what we eat."
Some crop scientists, including Zemetra at OSU, say opposition to GM crops is often based on emotion rather than science. He believes the U.S. should not abandon efforts to manipulate food crops to meet changing conditions.
"With everything going on with climate change and the challenge of diseases and insect problems, and wide temperature swings, we're going need the ability to access all technology," he said.
Kimbrell said the industry makes similar claims, but so far has only produced crops modified to resist herbicides rather than climate change or drought conditions, for instance.

Nonetheless, Zemetra has unique insight into the work: He conducted one of Monsanto's GM wheat trials in 2000-01 when he worked at the University of Idaho.
"Very rigorous" protocols controlled the work at agricultural research stations, he said, which only deepens the mystery of how the GM wheat plants popped up in the Oregon field.
After the studies, GM seeds were burned, buried six feet underground or shipped back to Monsanto, he said. Wide "no-plant" areas were maintained around test sites to prevent pollen movement from the GM wheat to other crops. Testing sites were checked two years after the trials for the presence of "volunteer" wheat plants that might have popped up.
A "gene flow" study done by OSU in 2005 showed it is possible for genetic traits to transfer from one wheat plant to another -- through pollen, for example -- but it occurred at a very low rate and the maximum range appeared to be 120 feet, he said. In addition, the GM wheat being tested was a spring-planted variety, while the wheat found in the Oregon field was a winter variety.
"They don't flower at the same time," Zemetra said, making gene flow even more unlikely.
Accidental seed contamination is possible, but the questions of how and when may be impossible to answer, he said.
All of which spells trouble for future GM crops, Zemetra said.
"There's a lot of fear," he said. "And this isn't going to help, I can tell you that."

And This Is Why (well, one reason anyway) They Are Deadly:

"... I think there's a resurgence of antisemitism (in Sweden and throughout all of Europe)  because, at this point in time, Europe has not yet learned to be multicultural, and I think we're going to be part of the throes of that- of that-  transformation which must take place! Europe is not going to be the monolithic - ah - ah - societies they once were in the last century. .... Jews are going to be the center of that. It's a huuuge transformation for Europe to make, they are now going into a multicultural mode and Jews will be resented because of our leading role. But without that leading role and without that transformation Europe will not survive."

So, according to this old American crone who politely smiles when wielding a shank,  

1) There's an uptick in 'antisemitism' (whatever that may mean and who knows how the hell it is measured). 

We've had multiple occasions in the US where high school and university students have penned 'antisemitic' pamphlets, graffiti and letters. When investigations have been done, a Chosen is revealed as the perpetrator and then the story quickly vanishes from sight. Is that what's behind the supposed rise of antisemitism in Sweden?  Antisemitism is a horrible thing, we've learned time and time again in school and from the media and our preachers and parents and friends and co-workers. A travesty. 'Never Again' is the mantra we're all taught. We've heard and read the stories and fables about great historic suffering endured by jews. We've cursed the dirty Muslims for not acquiescing to israel. 
Then something frightening happens. We begin to look into the facts behind this mass jewish suffering and we find ourselves confused at first: 'Gosh, I know what Germany did to to the jews was terrible, but y'know, I can't find any real evidence of the ''6 million'' '. Then we screw up the courage to dig deeper, but this is a somewhat terrifying step to take. We know if we fail to find real evidence of 'nazi atrocities' then our world-view will be forever be altered. Maybe even our relationship with our Creator. Many turn away at this point. Fearful and with hearts pounding they instinctively know the journey to reality will be too much for them to physically or socially or domestically bear.  But for those of us who do have the fortitude to travel that path, at some point we compare the jewish fairy tale of suffering with other historical sufferings. We consider how many Eastern Orthodox Catholics and Christians were murdered by the jew-led Bolshevik revolution.  How many Vietnamese murdered by the jewish banker influenced French and American campaigns of the 1940's, 50's and 60's. How many Chinese at the hands of the jewish banker-influenced opium wars instigated by the English. How many Native Americans at the hands of my forefathers in North America. Then we ask, even if it were real, why is jewish suffering the suffering that transcends all other peoples' suffering? And that's when we learn the jewish 'suffering' is nothing more than an advertising tool, designed to shame us into buying additional faulty or harmful ideas, laws, and  fraudulent beliefs. 

2) 'Without that transformation (to multiculturalism) Europe will not survive' claims LernerSpectre. 
Now, taking Sweden for instance, why would that nation not survive without jewish enforced multiculturalism? It has survived for thousands of years when it was populated by Swedes. They actually made their nation into a bit of a socialist paradise. Even if one despises socialism, one can't ignore the fact that Swedes have healthcare for all, have housing for all, and have a retirement system that isn't forever going bankrupt. They accomplished it without the joys of LernerSpectre's threatened multiculturalism, somehow. 

That LernerSpectre is whining about antisemitism and the absolute essential need of multiculturalism tells us there are many in Sweden who despise the idea. Otherwise they would not be threatened with their very survival. It isn't just Sweden however. There are plenty of other folks living in Europe who've already witnessed previous changes this woman and her kind have dropped on their heads. They recall the world wars instigated at the behest of jews. And Europeans, from Greece to Portugal, Ireland to Italy, Iceland to Russia, are sick and tired of the banking system jews already gifted Europe. Recall, Usury was outlawed by both the Church and Islam. It wasn't until some evil, rotten men (Oliver Cromwell, for instance) allowed the jews to return to lands from which they had previously been expelled, and crypto-jews ascended to the Papal Seat (Medici, for one) that the jewish toe-hold was gained via the banking cartel. Slowly but surely every man and nation was captured up in the net, like sardines. 

Strangely though, despite what the jewess import from America says, Europe IS multicultural today, and it WAS in the past, even before LernerSpecter's ancient relatives left the Steppes and adopted 'judaism'. 
Irish inhabit one part of Europe. Sicilians another. Poles live in Poland and Swedes live in Sweden. You see, Ms. LernerSpecter, Europe was (until the late 19th century)  perhaps the most naturally 'multicultural' continent spinning on board Mother Earth. People like you though, you seek to drive out the 'cultures' you dislike and replace them with a perverted judeafied Culture of Death that is more malleable to your goals and whims. 

People like yourself, Ms.LernerSpectre, are the most racist of any people this world has ever known. If you really cared about that Multicultural flag you fly, you'd be hanging out in Occupied Palestine, urging your own kind to adopt multiculturalism in that fraudulent nation you call israel. That thing called israel is so horribly racist that multiculturalism isn't even the issue right now. Your kind first have to end apartheid in the land you occupy. 
You claim to be against hate yet you embrace ethnic cleansing, you embrace the theft of land, you embrace the subjugation of people. You kill, maim, injure, steal, and incarcerate others whenever it serves your own kind's interest. Yet you dare to tell Swedes how to live in their own homeland? 

 There was a time in America when charlatans and confidence men traveled from town to town, looking to bilk residents out of their property and wealth. Usually the fraudsters would clear out of town before the folks caught on to what was happening. There were times though, when the con's luck ran out before he had run out.  He'd be stripped down to his underwear while the tar was being heated until hot, then brushes applied the tar to the miscreant's skin and chicken feathers were dumped over his head and tossed onto his body and then he'd be allowed to 'move on' to another, perhaps more hospitable burg. In some cases after the tar and feathers were applied the people would ride him out 'on a rail' - usually a tapered fence railing or 2X4, on which the conman would 'ride' as the people carried the railing and his 'privates' were jolted and pained and then they'd dump him on the edge of town. I doubt any of the individuals who received this treatment ever returned but instead may their way to greener pastures. 

I'm uncertain whether or not Sweden has a history of 'tarring and feathering' those who came into its towns with the intention of  running a confidence game on them, but the con LernerSpectre and others are operating is much more injurious to all than those  performed long ago by simple thieves. For that reason I'd advise Swedes to look into it. It is the 21st century, so women should be eligible for the humiliating ride.

Gee -

Just re- viewed Lerner Spectre's saccharine speech -

Did you hear that brief chuckle uttered just after LernerSpectre's closing threat: "... Europe will not survive."???

Time it is a ticken' 

Vincent Browne

It is so rare to spot a real, live, working journalist these days I just could not resist stealing borrowing this exquisite video from BuelahMan's Blog (and Digger for Truth's blog) and sharing it here. 

Ireland's most respected (in a few circles, anyway) journalist,  County Limerick born Vincent Browne, is currently employed by the Irish Times and has a news program on TV3. 

As Wikipedia gleefully notes, On 23 October 2012, while presenting Tonight with Vincent Browne, he referred to Israel as "the cancer in foreign affairs", and said Israel "polarises the Islamic community of the world against the rest of the world" and that the Jews "stole the land from the Arabs" with the creation of Israel. Israel's deputy ambassador to Ireland considered Browne's comments to be "racist, anti-Semitic remarks".

But this video is not directly about israel, but rather Browne's handling of bankers at a recent presser. A work of art. 

These dirtbags refuse to answer direct questions because to give a direct answer would serve to prove the great fraud that's being played by the banking elite on humans worldwide. 

Someone, buy Mr. Browne a Guinness (if the bankers haven't stole all your money yet, that is).
