CORPORATE CAPTURE OF GLOBAL FOOD SYSTEMS ‘ THE COLLABORATION BETWEEN THE WEF AND UN FOOD  AGRICULTURE ORGANIZATION (FAO)

CORPORATE CAPTURE OF GLOBAL FOOD SYSTEMS ‘ THE COLLABORATION BETWEEN THE WEF AND UN FOOD  AGRICULTURE ORGANIZATION (FAO)

The Un / WEF Official Partnership was officially adopted 13th June 2019. With a Proviso to jointly  accelerate UN Agenda 2030 Global Goals across the world. (SDGs) Transforming Our Lives By 2030. Leaving No-one Behind- Everyone-Everywhere at Every Age. To collaborate Global Food Security * Transform Agri-food Systems. Resource Management * Digital Global Innovation * Public-Private Partnerships * Multistakeholder Capitalism

However there have been many critics that have raised multiple concerns primarily Civil Society Organizations about the Conflicts of Interests * The Influence of Private Corporation as whisperers in the ears of UN Agencies .This includes the Corporate Capture of the Global Food System and the UN FAO’s role in the Global Food Initiatives that include:-Strategic Partnerships with Corporations (a wide range of stakeholders) including UN Entities * Governments * Leaders of Civil Society and the Private Sector (The Mask they hide behind is (Eradicating Hunger- Poverty World Wide) Global Agenda 2030- SDG 1 and SDG2

The FAO (UN) works in a broader UN Framework in that of Food Security & Nutrition. Guiding Global, Regional and National efforts into Policy & Decision making. And encourages Multistake-holderism dialogue, developing common approaches to Global Food Systems. Supporting UN Member States to create coalitions of Public-Private Actors to foster Agri-food System Transformation. The deepening of institutional engagement as to Global Challenges such as Climate Change – Health – and the coined phrase ‘Sustainable Development

The WEF-UN Collaboration (Partnership) with the FAO (UN)..In 2022 they signed a Letter of Intent to facilitate the channeling of the Private Sector resources towards Transforming Agri-food Systems worldwide. The WEF launched the Food Innovation Hubs Global Initiative with FAO (UN) as the Collaborator. Leveraging Market Based Partnerships with Public-Private and Civil Society Partners to Scale Up Innovations

Critics have reported that the UNs growing collaboration with the WEF is a platform for Transnational Corporations that allows ‘Global Corporate Capture’ and a dialogue of  Global Decision Making. 240 Civil Society Organizations condemned the 2019 WEF-UN Partnership in an Open Letter stating that it ‘Delegitimizes the UN and weakens the role of UN Member States in Global Decision Making – Increasing the influence of corporations, promoting industrial, technological focused solution to Food Security which risks harming small scale farming practices, causing socio-economical problems. Favoring Corporate Interests over that of vulnerable populations-Threatening Human Rights.

Giving disproportionate power to Corporate Interests, undermining  the Democratic State Nature of the UN as it was originally set out to be. With the WEF & UN public-private relationship increasing investment in Agrifood systems, aborting traditional farming. Collaborating on Data & Digital conditions that produce WEF/UN Initiatives Eg: (One Map & the Future Market Place Playbook) With the FAO (UN) and WEF Co-publishing a White Paper titled ‘Transforming Food Systems for Country Led Innovation’

The WEF/FAO (UN) Food Summit and the Digital and Data Coalition. The WEF long standing relations with UN Agencies. The Alignment of Food Systems Transformation.  Inclusive Partnerships with common goals. The common goal of Transforming Global Food Systems. Providing Data and Stats crucial for informing Policy and Tracking Progress in the Transformation of Global Food Systems

Partnerships that are focused on attracting Investment for the Transformation of Global Food Systems, this includes how Food is Produced, Distributed and Consumed globally. The total destruction of the Free-market Enterprise Innovated Economy (The Freedom To Choose). Multistakeholder Capitalism Klaus Schwabs baby (600 Page Global Redesign Initiative 2010) Produced and adopted post the 2008-2009 World  Financial Recession. Adopted by Governments worldwide

Critics state that this approach shifts Economic Governance away from Competitive Markets towards a model of Self Appointed Group of Corporate and Political Elites. There are also many critics that view the annual DAVOS gatherings as an Undemocratic Opaque Governance Venue where powerful political and corporate leaders make decisions without accountability to the public they represent in UN Member Nation States thus diminishing National Sovereignty

Never let a Good Crisis Go To Waste. Large Corporate Interests that prioritize Conformity over Disruption. The WEF is accused of ‘Crony Capitalism’. Where Corporations use their influence to lobby for favorable regulations and protectionism through Legislations at the expense of a genuine Free-Market enterprising Innovative Economy. Corporations accused of Green Washing (ESG’s)

Initiatives such as the Great Reset proposed by the WEF, advocating for the restructuring of the Global Economy. The lack of Democratic Engagement within UN Member Nation States and Beyond -Globally that do not reflect the interests of UN Member State or Global Population interests but those of the Economical /Political Elite. The Stakeholder Capitalism model seeks to shift responsibility beyond shareholders to a broader group of stakeholders has been criticized as rebranding of the worlds economy. And the Erosion of National Sovereignty

The increasing influence of the WEF over UN Nation State policies and the erosion of National Sovereignty is not without serious concern. The WEF pushing for Global Governance Models that by-pass Nation State Legislatures without civil societies explicit consent. The WEF Global Digital Identification Systems, * Centralized Climate Policies * International Tax Frameworks all encroachments on Nation State Government and the voting public of the Sovereign Nation State. Decision making that cannot be challenged, hence the government is not held accountable by its voting  citizens

The WEF a strong powerful proponent of the Forth Industrial Revolution which encompasses Artificial Intelligence * Automation * Biotechnology being implemented even though populations worldwide have serious concerns about this push into a Technocratic Future of Controlling Forces of Compliancy. The WEF reporting its Vision ‘A Technology Driven Future that includes Mass Digital Surveillance which is being played out rapidly across the world eight now. AI Digital Identification Global Governance (Transforming Our Live by 2030. UN Agenda 2030 SDG 16.9 Everyone is to have a digital ID by 2030) Otherwise you wont be recognized as existing.

NZ participating in the WEF Pilot ‘Digital Regulations’. Without transparency. Did the Government share this information publicly? NO. Was there any public discussion- debate with  the population of NZ. No.  WEF mass digital surveillance, monitoring and a push for a ‘cashless society’. Digital Identity Systems. Government/Corporate surveillance restricting individual autonomy- freedoms- liberties. (Judith Collins Portfolio)

COVID 19 – The WEF played an increasing significant role in shaping Global Health Policies particularly during the COVID Pandemic. Collaborating with Organizations like the WHO (UN) and major Pharmaceutical companies (Big Pharma) to influence  Vax Policies, Digital Health Passes and Pandemic Preparedness Strategies. Concerns have been raised about the WEFs role in promoting policies that benefit Bif Pharma at the expense of transparency and Public Choice. The rapid push for vaccine mandates and Digital Health Passports seen by some as an over-reach prioritizing Corporate Interests over Individual Freedoms

The WEF and the UN have positioned themselves as a global force, with zilch accountability to National Sovereignty and the people whom vote political parties in. This empowers a small global powerful elite to shape the Global Future that do not align with the broader interests of Humanity. This is a global concentration of centralized power (Top Down and Bottom Up) that poses a huge risk to our personal- individual freedoms. Where Governments engage with the WEF /UN behind closed doors when they collaboration – plan to implement the Transforming Of Our Lives before 2030. (Leaving No-One Behind..Everyone..Everywhere.. At Every Age)

We No… What They Are Doing.. They Know- We know what they are Doing.. But they still keep on Doing it.. Yet there is a deafening Silence in the public Arena as the UN Member State Puppets implement ‘Transforming Our Lives By 2030’ Locking us into a Digital Prison. Industrial Corporate Global Food Systems and Smart City Surveillance-Monitoring-Facial Recognition.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN SAFE & EFFECTIVE – COVID 19 JABS?

Refers to a Parliamentary Debate of MPS in the UK on the extremely important topic of the COVID19 Jabs  being Safe & Effective and what do these words actually mean. The problem being the corruption of language and changing its meaning. The Science is don’t think for yourself (You know- Arderns Only One Source Of Truth) Oh and do we really want these Anti-vaxers to have an open debate (of course not) Eem the Jabber Jabber Catch phrase being Safe & Effective

The coined phrase ‘Safe & Effective must have travelled around the world millions of times.. hear it often enough it becomes normalized and without the Truth becomes the – Only One Source Of Truth in the whole dam world. Becomes ingrained in our National psyche.. never to question the questionable. But asking questions is a vital part of Scientic and Political Debate .. The Propaganda Machine of Mainstream Media pandering to Political Tyranny.   Eeem it became to risky to question the Science. It became far too risky for Doctors of Medicine to actually be allowed to speak up. Speak Up get struck off by the Medical Council. Speak up publically get arrested. Police at the door. Bottle shops open and Butchers shops closed. The masses in face masks like Egyptian Slaves. Keeping everyone Safe eem Nah .. Keeping everyone controlled.

Lockdowns- shut downs of schools and businesses, loss of Jobs..elderly people isolated in nursing homes. Not all friends and relatives could attend loved ones funerals.  Antifa and Black Lives Matter could walk- march shoulder to shoulder in the thousands. But you had to be socially isolated. Several metre’s apart. Post COVID 19 the States Wrecking Ball. And lets add Mass Migration to our Health System. The Guinea Pig State of the worlds populations. Free From Risk- Free From Harm (Never) This has never been qualified its just words sucked into your psyche.  All medicines have the potential of side effects. But this wasn’t a medicine. The Spike Protein time and time again has been reported by Medical Specialist of many years of experience, qualifications have said that the Spike Protein does not stay in the muscle of the arm that its injected into.  Travels to major organs in the body. And does various serious harms and causes premature deaths. We will never know how many deaths that COVID19 Pfizer Jab caused as the coverups continue. But the truth is being revealed- we are looking at what looks like genocidal acts and very serious harms.

The UN Ministry Of Health Blue Guide Document details the legislation controlling how medicines are advertised in the UK. States that ‘ That its unacceptable to say that all medicines are safe, they all have a potential for side effects and no medicine is Risk Free as individual patients respond differently to treatment. The Pharmaceutical Industries own Self Regulatory Code Of Practice which states the word ‘Safe’ must not be  used without  qualifications on this basis . Therefore here we have Big Pharma breaking its own Regulatory Code of Safe Practice. Entire population right across the world have been misled.

As Governments, Heads of States, Organizations, Academia. Misled entire nations to be guineapigs for an unsafe ineffective jab, overstating efficacy  of the COVID Jabs through Social Media- Main Stream News.. Daily Reports on TV and Radio- Signs everywhere you look. Markings on the ground- social distancing. The images were sucked into memory holes of billions of people worldwide.  The totalitarian discourse of the State and State Policing.  Safe & Effective was picked up and acted upon globally . It was aggressively acted upon.  (A person got shot by a policeman- he died of COVID 19). The Window of Deception (BIAS) Swapping the jabbed group with the Non Jabbed Group) The corruption is Evil.

 

New Zealander Barry Young stands in Wellington Court once again. Brave and Courageous Barry. He is quietly intellectual man whom stands by the truth. Prayers for you Barry. You are a Hero. He is accused of stealing Te Whatu Ora COVID 19 data. Of cause they want to criminalize Barry.. Shut him Up. Silence him. Does Barry have whistleblower protections?? And NO Barry Did not publish personal data on peoples names .. it was purely Data. Barry’s protected disclosure (Whistleblowers) hearing will take place on 11th December, starting around 10am, at the Wellington District Court. I know there will be some loving supporters there for Barry.  God Bless you Barry. Thank you Liz Gunn for opening this up to NZrs and many people across the world. I know it has not been easy for you, and that physical  attack on you at Auckland Airport

The Outcome of the court case for Barry on the 11th December could determine whether anyone in the Commonwealth is allowed to expose the States wrongdoing. His case has become a global test of transparency, accountability, and the public’s right to the truth. Young was the sole administrator of New Zealand’s pay-per-dose vaccination database. When he saw a sharp rise in deaths following COVID vaccination, he released anonymized data with zero personal identifiers because the public deserved answers… Now prosecutors want to deny him whistleblower status by saying he lacked “expert credentials,” even though their own expert never examined the full dataset. If they win, it becomes a model for silencing whistleblowers worldwide.

THE RED-GREEN- BROWN ALLIANCE OF ANTISEMITISM- ANTI CHRISTIANITY – ANTI WESTERNIZATION ALSO RESIDES IN NEW ZEALAND.

ACROSS WESTERN COUNTRIES INCLUDING NEW ZEALAND ‘ THE RED- GREEN – BROWN ALLIANCE’ . which originates back to France in 2000’s. The alliance of Leftists (Red) * Islamists (Green) and Brown – namely Far Right. The  coined term ‘Red-Green-Brown Alliance has also been referred to as the Alliances of Industrial Unions that are focused Leftists (Red) and Ecologically minded (Greens) and the Brown (Neo Nazi Brown Shirts)

The Far Right is when the Far Left go so far left and the Far Right go so far Right they both meet together- Same Wings on the Same Bird. This is an Ideological Alliance the rendering of Islamist Ideological trends . (2010 Del Valle published an essay in Italy titled -The Convergence of Anti- Western Extremism: Islamism. Communism and Nero-Nazism (Green * Red * Brown  Alliance) The historical expulsion of the Jewish people from Russia with Albert Makashov meeting with  David Duke the  Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan

3rd November 2005 Swedish Police investigate former Ku Klux Klan Leader find him guilty of racist crimes as to Antisemitic remarks. In 2016 Neo Nazi Holocaust Denier David Duke ran as a candidate for the US Senate of Luisana. Duke has run for office numerous times since 1975, winning once. He ran for the Louisiana Senate in 1975 and 1979, the U.S. Senate in 1990 and 1996, the U.S. House in 1999, and for president as a Democrat in 1988 and as a Republican in 1992. In the 1970s, David Duke was grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan. In the 80s, he was elected to Louisiana’s house of representatives

Certain Nations, groups, organizations and individuals certainly have weaponized ‘Antisemitism for Political gain, a tool of the State. Blaming Domestic Issues of Concern per “Jewish Threats’ (Look that way, don’t look this way – Its over there- not just here) The notion of a Jewish controlled World Order is a long standing conspiracy theory originating from the Fictitious /Fake ‘Protocols Of The Elders Of Zion’ (1903 Imperialist Russia) Which in various fictional forms of publications etc., have spread right across the world interpreted into many languages. (All published by Antisemitists)  that influence Global and National Politics. Strategically used by Political actors

International and National Red -Green – Brown Alliances. (Brownshirts-Neo Nazi) have Common Ground. Anti Westernization  * Anti-Christianity * Antisemitism. A paranoid construction weaponized in order to silence legitimate criticism. In my Research I also found that there are indirect referring to the – of Africa- Arab Nationalism and the American Black Panthers  all described as being  Fascist Maoism. Marxism-Leninism-Social – Pan Arab Socialist Islamism

New Zealand Pan Arab Socialist Islamist promoters- supporters were the Socialist Workers Party Christchurch. They sold Tee Shirts raising money to send directly to the terrorist Pan Arab Islamist Socialist Terrorists PFLP with Leila Khaleds Image on their Tee Shirt they were selling. (PFLP is a designated Terrorist Org., in many country’s but NOT NZ)

Leila Khaled became a subject of local news in Christchurch in April 2024 because the Canterbury Socialist Society, a local activist group, announced plans to host a public online meeting to launch a solidarity campaign for the PFLP, featuring a poster of Khaled.  Leila Khaled’s Role: She is famous for her involvement in the 1969 hijacking of TWA Flight 840, an act she stated was to highlight the Palestinian cause. The PFLP is considered a “terrorist” organization by the U.S., EU, and several other countries.

Paul Hopkinson with John Edmundson relaunched the Pro Palestine PFLP Solidarity Group and named it the Canterbury Socialist Society. Paul Hopkinson, defended the campaign, calling Khaled a “national hero in Palestine” and arguing that Israel needs to be “put in the dustbin of history”. Byron Clark whom once ran for Mayor of Christchurch was also very influential in promoting PFLP Terrorist Solidarity as a member of the Socialist Workers Party. Later he authored the Book ‘Fear of the Alt Right) Which includes myself and others whom have spoken up publicly opposing the governments narratives.  He also muddies himself in the dirty waters of the Climate Con.. being a Con Artists himself ( Those groups that leverage themselves up that have a common purpose- yes- the Red -Green -rown Alliance is alive and well in New Zealand. Antisemitism-Anti Christian – Anti Westernization ..Yes the World Socialist Party (NZ)

The World Socialist Party (New Zealand) was formed in 1930 as the Socialist Party of New Zealand, then, later added the word “World” to its name. Socialism never really died but certainly has re-risen and has been rebranded .. SOCIALISM – On the human cost of a persistent and pernicious political doctrine….A single death is a tragedy; a million deaths is a statistic. –Joseph Stalin

Rummel suspects that the estimate of one hundred ten million killed may be too low, and in fact that the death toll from socialist democide in the twentieth century may be as high as 260 million. Socialism is alive and well in New Zealand. Democratic Socialism (There is no such thing as Socialism being Democratic) Jacinda Ardern elected President of the International Union Of Socialist Youth IUSY in 2008. Still remained in this role when she became a Member Of Parliament for the Labour Party (Comrade- Comrade – Comrades- Arderns speech). The position involved extensive international travel to countries like China, Jordan, and Algeria. She had a global experience, insight into Socialist Movements prior to becoming PM of NZ

Jacinda Ardern still maintains connections to the New Zealand Labour Party, which describes itself as a social democratic, centre-left party.. (There is no such thing as a Socialist Party being Democratic).  COVID-19 inoculations and culpability for human rights violations, crimes against humanity

G E TECHNOLOGY – GMO FOODS. GENE TECHNOLOGY BILL NZ. ( REF: FDA INCLUDED)

TOXICITY: GE Foods are inherently unstable. Each insertion of a novel gene, and the accompanying ‘cassette’ of promoters *Antibiotic Marker Systems * Vectors is random. GE Food Producers simply do not know where their genetic ‘cassette’ is being inserted in the Food, nor do they know enough about the genetic/ chemical makeup of foods to establish a ‘Safe’ place for such insertions. As a result – each Gene Insertion into a food amounts to playing Food Safet Roulette with the companies hoping that the new genetic material does not destabilize a safe food and make it hazardous. Each genetic insertion creates the added possibility that formerly nontoxic elements in the food could become toxic.

FDA  WAS WELL AWARE OF THE GENETIC INSTABILITY PROBLEM: Prior to establishing their no-testing policy.  FDA scientists warned that this problem could create dangerous toxins in food and was a significant health risk.  The scientists specifically warned that the genetic engineering of foods could result in “increased levels of known naturally occurring toxicants, appearance of new, not previously identified toxicants, [and] increased capability of concentrating toxic substances from the environment (e.g., pesticides or heavy metals).”  These same FDA scientists recommended that long term toxicological tests be required prior to the marketing of GE foods.  FDA officials also were aware that safety testing on the first genetically engineered food, the Calgene Flavr Savr tomato, had shown that consumption of this product resulted in stomach lesions in laboratory rats.

FDA’s response to the potential toxicity problem with genetically engineered foods was to ignore it.  They disregarded their own scientists, the clear scientific evidence and the deaths and illnesses already attributed to this problem.  The agency refused to require pre-market toxicological testing for GE foods or any toxicity monitoring.  FDA made these decisions with no scientific basis and without public notice and comment or independent scientific review.  The agency’s actions can only be seen as a shameful acquiescence to industry pressure and a complete abandonment of its responsibility to assure food safety.

ALLERGIC REACTIONS:  The genetic engineering of food creates two separate and serious health risks involving allergenicity.  The first is that genetic engineering can transfer allergens from foods to which people know they are allergic, to foods that they think are safe.  This risk is not hypothetical. A study by the New England Journal of Medicine showed that when a gene from a Brazil nut was engineered into soybeans, people allergic to nuts had serious reactions to the engineered product.  At least one food, a Pioneer Hi-Bred International soybean, was abandoned because of this problem.  Without labeling, people with known food allergies have no way of avoiding the potentially serious health consequences of eating GE foods containing hidden allergenic material.

There is another allergy risk associated with GE foods.  These foods could be creating thousands of different and new allergic responses.  Each genetic “cassette” being engineered into foods contains a number of novel proteins (in the form of altered genes, bacteria, viruses, promoters, marker systems, and vectors) which have never been part of the human diet.  Each of these numerous novel proteins could create an allergic response in some consumers.  The FDA was also well aware of this new and potentially massive allergenicity problem.  The agency’s scientists repeatedly warned that genetic engineering could “produce a new protein allergen.”

 Once again the agency’s own scientists urged long-term testing.  However, the FDA again ignored its own scientists.  Because these foods were allowed to be marketed without mandatory testing for this kind of allergenicity, millions of unsuspecting consumers have continuously been exposed to a potentially serious health risk.  This FDA action is especially negligent in that the potential consequences of food allergies can include sudden death, and the most significantly affected population is children.

ANTI-BIOTIC RESISTANCE: Another hidden risk of GE foods is that they could make disease-causing bacteria resistant to current antibiotics, resulting in a significant increase in the spread of infections and diseases in the human population.  Virtually all genetically engineered foods contain “antibiotic resistance markers” which help the producers identify whether the new genetic material has actually been transferred into the host food.

FDA’s large-scale introduction of these antibiotic marker genes into the food supply could render important antibiotics useless in fighting human diseases.  For example, a genetically engineered maize plant from Novartis includes an ampicillin-resistance gene.  Ampicillin is a valuable antibiotic used to treat a variety of infections in people and animals.  A number of European countries, including Britain, refused to permit the Novartis Bt corn to be grown, due to health concerns that the ampicillin resistance gene could move from the corn into bacteria in the food chain, making ampicillin far less effective in fighting a wide range of bacterial infections.

Again, FDA officials have ignored their own scientists’ concerns over the antibiotic resistance problem.  Meanwhile, the British Medical Association (BMA) addressed this problem in its own study of GE foods.  The BMA’s conclusion was unequivocal: “There should be a ban on the use of antibiotic resistance marker genes in GM food, as the risk to human health from antibiotic resistance developing in microorganisms is one of the major public health threats that will be faced in the 21st century.”

IMMO-SUPPRESSION: The well-respected British medical journal, The Lancet, published an important study conducted by Drs. Arpad Pusztai and Stanley W.B. Ewen under a grant from the Scottish government.  The study examined the effect on rats of the consumption of potatoes genetically engineered to contain the biopesticide Bacillus Thuringiensis (B.t.).  Thescientists found that the rats consuming geneticallyaltered potatoes showed significant detrimental effects on organ development, body metabolism, and immune function.

The biotechnology industry launched a major attack on Dr. Pusztai and his study.  However, they have as of yet not produced a single study of their own to refute his findings.  Moreover, twenty-two leading scientists recently declared that animal test results linking genetically engineered foods to immuno-suppression are valid.

CANCER:  Along with its approval of GE foods, the FDA in 1993 also approved the use of genetically engineered recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone (rBGH), used to induce dairy cows to produce more milk.  At the time the FDA assured consumers that the milk was safe.  Since then, however, regulatory bodies in both Canada and Europe have rejected the drug, citing numerous animal and human health concerns.  Perhaps of most immediate concern for consumers is that research shows that the levels of a hormone called insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) are increased in dairy products produced from cows treated with rBGH.

The Canadians and Europeans further found that the FDA had completely failed to consider a study which showed that the increased IGF-1 in rBGH milk could survive digestion and make its way into the intestines and blood streams of consumers.  These findings are significant because numerous studies now demonstrate that IGF-1 is an important factor in the growth of breast cancer, prostate cancer, and colon cancer.

LOSS OF NUTRITION: Genetic engineering can also alter the nutritional value of food.  In 1992, the FDA’s Divisions of Food Chemistry & Technology and Food Contaminants Chemistry examined the problem of nutrient loss in GE foods.  The scientists involved specifically warned the agency that the genetic engineering of foods could result in “undesirable alteration in the level of nutrients” of such foods.  They further noted that these nutritional changes “may escape breeders’ attention unless genetically engineered plants are evaluated specifically for these changes.”  Once again, the FDA ignored findings by their own scientists and never subjected the foods to mandatory government testing of any sort.

NZ WIDE PROTEST HALT GE TECH BILL.. AUCKLAND Britomart/Waitemata Station Square Auckland City – 29TH NOVEMBER 12 – 2PM

CONCERNS ABOUT THE DANGERS OF GENETICALLY MODIFIED (GM) FOOD: Include the potential for new Allergens or Toxins to be created, unexpected Genetic Changes, and a decrease in Biodiversity.. Where some animal studies have suggested potential links to Health Problems like- Organ Damage * Immune Issues-.

SAFETY CONCERNS AND RSOME REVIEWS ‘ IT’S A MIXED BAG’ OF UNCERTAINITIES:  Some Reviews of GM Crops conclude they are generally safe. These concerns still remain and also other  concerns that  involve the Impact of Herbicide used on GM Crops and the possibility of less nutritious food and also Social Issues such as Corporate Control Over Seeds.

POTENTIAL HEALTH DANGERS:- Allergenicity and toxicity: There is a concern that introducing new genes could create new allergens or toxins in the food.  *Antibiotic resistance: Some GM crops use antibiotic resistance genes during the development process, raising concerns about contributing to antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

NUTRITIONAL CHANGES: Some studies suggest that GM foods may be less nutritious or have other undesirable nutritional changes.  *Animal study findings: Some animal studies have reported potential adverse health effects, such as organ abnormalities, immune system problems, and infertility.

POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL DANGERS: Biodiversity: The widespread use of a few GM crops could lead to a decrease in crop biodiversity.  *Herbicide use: GM crops are often engineered to be resistant to specific herbicides, which can lead to increased herbicide use. The health effects of these herbicides, such as glyphosate, are a separate area of concern.

CORPORATE CONTROL (CAPTURE)  A significant social concern is that a few large companies own the patents for GM seeds, which can lead to a monopoly on the food supply and impact family farmers who cannot save seeds for replanting.

NEW UNEXPECTED EFFECTS AND HEALTH RISKS POSED BY GENETIC ENGINEERING: -Toxicity. Genetically engineered foods are inherently unstable.  *Allergic Reactions. … *Antibiotic Resistance. …*Immuno-suppression. …*Cancer. …*Loss of Nutrition

CHANGES IN HUMAN DNA: Research in 2009. Some Food Scientists noted that food DNA can survive as far as the gut, there have been concerns that this could affect the immune system. Others have also raised fears that eating GMO Foods could lead to Genetic changes in Humans

OPPOSITION TO GMO IN OTHER COUNTRIES ARE DUE AN EXTREMELY BROAD FIELD OF NUMEROUS RISKS: Which includes food safety and quality, health, the environment, the economy, society, biodiversity, geopolitics, ethics, and so on.

CONSUMERS HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING WHAT FOODS ARE GENETICALLY ENGINEERED BECAUSE THE US FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION (FDA) Does not require the labelling of these products. They do not require any pre market Safety Testing of GE Foods. The Agency’s failure to Require Testing or Labeling of GE Foods has made millions of Consumers into Guinea Pigs…

THE FDA RESPONSE TO A LAWSUIT FILED BY THE CENTER FOR FOOD SAFETY: In 1998: Admitted in court that it had made  “no dispositive scientific findings,”  whatsoever about the Safety of Genetically Engineered Foods.

THE FDA HAVE GIVEN THE BIO-TECH INDUSTRY: Carte -blanche to Produce and Market any number of Genetically Engineered Foods they like without Mandatory Agency oversight or Safety Testing & without showing Scientific evidence these foods are safe to consume

SIX POTENTIAL HUMAN HEALTH CONCERNS:  G E Foods are different from other foods.  For the first time Foreign Genes  *Bacterial & Viral Vectors * Viral Promoters & Antibiotic Marker Systems  are engineered into Food.  These Genetic ‘cassettes’ are new to the Human Diet & should be subject to extensive safety testing.

1992 FDA RULES FOR GENETIC ENGINEERING WAS  WITHOUT ANY  SCIENTIFIC BASES: Stated that Genetically Engineered Foods present no different risks than Traditional Foods FDAs own scientists ridicules this unscientific agency view of genetic engineering. Where were the Scientific elements in FDA’s document? There were none. However FDA Scientists consistently state that “there is a profound difference between the  types of foods”. No difference between the types of unexpected affects from  Traditional Breeding & Genetic Breeding. (The Difference was never addressed)

What are the new “Unexpected Effects” and Health Risks posed by Genetic Engineering?  Toxicity  *. Allergic Reactions * Antibiotic Resistance  *Immuno-suppression  *. Cancer . Loss of Nutrition (LINK https://www.centerforfoodsafety.org/issues/311/ge-foods/ge-food-and-your-health)
