F. William Engdahl, NEO 4-15-16… “Dramatic Turn in Brussels Glyphosate Battle”
This appears to be big news. A refreshing change in attitude by the EFSA (European Food Safety Authority).“…the unexpected refusal last month of three EU member states to go along with the decision of the EU Health and Food Safety Commissioner and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) to re-approve the world’s most widely used weed killing chemical, Glyphosate, dramatic and encouraging developments suggest that for the first time the power of GMO agrochemical giants like Monsanto and Syngenta, Dow and DuPont, BASF, Bayer could undergo a devastating defeat.
“…the EU Commission had recommended approval of another 15-year license for the controversial glyphosate based on the suspicious determination by the EU’s corrupt EFSA that there was no reason to believe glyphosate is a carcinogen. That determination… went totally against the 2015 determination by the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) that glyphosate, the weed-killer used in most every GMO plant worldwide and most other crops and even home gardens as well, was a “probable carcinogen.”
“On initially announcing his plans to approve re-licensing of glyphosate based on the fraudulent November, 2015 EFSA determination claiming that it was no carcinogen, EU Commissioner Andriukaitis received an open letter of protest from 96 prominent scientists, including most of the scientists of the WHO’s 2015 IARC study. The letter declared that the basis of EFSA’s research was “not credible because it is not supported by the evidence.
“It is becoming clearer that perhaps as much or even more a toxic danger for human and animal consumption of GMO…, are the chemicals the GMO seeds are by contract agreement necessarily mated with… In fact, the only trait that Monsanto Roundup Ready corn or soybeans are genetically modified for is to resist the toxic killing effect of Roundup while every living biological matter… not “glyphosate resistant” is killed.
“…this is adding up to a refreshing popular revolt against the GMO death industry. Hooray for those of us who wish to live. The “killer Queens” of Monsanto, BASF, Syngenta and co. are in their greatest battle for survival on this one. Glyphosate may turn out to be the Achilles heel that kills GMO once and for all. That would be nice.”

the unexpected refusal last month of three EU member states to go along
with the decision of the EU Health and Food Safety Commissioner and the
European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) to re-approve the world’s most
widely used weed killing chemical, Glyphosate, dramatic and encouraging
developments suggest that for the first time the power of GMO
agrochemical giants like Monsanto and Syngenta, Dow and DuPont, BASF,
Bayer could undergo a devastating defeat. Were this to happen, it could
well be the death knell for the misbegotten Rockefeller Foundation
Genetic Manipulation project that has destroyed much of Western farmland
and poisoned hundreds of millions of GMO fed farm animals and humans.Read more…
