alert

* Former Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack's support of genetically engineered pharmaceutical crops, especially pharmaceutical corn: [link to www.gene.ch] [link to www.organicconsumers.org]

* The biggest biotechnology industry group, the Biotechnology Industry Organization, named Vilsack Governor of the Year. He was also the founder and former chair of the Governor's Biotechnology Partnership. [link to www.bio.org]

* When Vilsack created the Iowa Values Fund, his first poster child of economic development potential was Trans Ova and their pursuit of cloning dairy cows.

* Vilsack was the origin of the seed pre-emption bill in 2005, which many people here in Iowa fought because it took away local government's possibility of ever having a regulation on seeds- where GE would be grown, having GE-free buffers, banning pharma corn locally, etc. Representative Sandy Greiner, the Republican sponsor of the bill, bragged on the House Floor that Vilsack put her up to it right after his state of the state address.

* Vilsack has a glowing reputation as being a schill for agribusiness biotech giants like Monsanto. Sustainable ag advocated across the country were spreading the word of Vilsack's history as he was attempting to appeal to voters in his presidential bid. An activist from the west coast even made this youtube animation about Vilsack [link to www.youtube.com] The airplane in this animation is a referral to the controversy that Vilsack often traveled in Monsanto's jet.

*Vilsack is an ardent support of corn and soy based biofuels, which use as much or more fossil energy to produce them as they generate, while driving up world food prices and literally starving the poor.

It's all about Global Population Reduction:

GM crops found to affect reproduction in mice: Austrian study

VIENNA (AFP) – Genetically-modified maize can affect reproduction in mice, an Austrian study has found, although its authors have dismissed warnings by environmental groups that it could also harm humans.

The long-term study, which was commissioned by the Austrian health ministry, found that female mice that had been given a diet consisting of 33 percent genetically-modified (GM) maize had fewer babies and fewer litters than those fed on non-GM food after a few generations.

But the authors of the study were keen to point out that these were only initial findings and that further tests were needed to confirm the effect of GM foods on other animals and on humans.

"This is an isolated case and the results cannot in any way be applied to humans," the Austrian health and food safety agency AGES, which presented the study by Vienna's University of Veterinary Medicine (VUW) Tuesday, said in a statement.

"Confirmation of these preliminary results is urgently needed through further studies," the study's author, Juergen Zentek, added.

Environmental groups like Global 2000 and Greenpeace were quick to seize on the study to call for a ban on all GM crops.

"Considering the severity of the potential threat to human health and reproduction, Greenpeace is demanding a recall of all GE (genetically-engineered) food and crops from the market, worldwide," the group said in a statement.

Distributing GM foods was "like playing Russian roulette with consumers and public health," added Greenpeace's GM expert Jan van Aken.

EU Health Commissioner Androulla Vassiliou has requested a copy of the study and will then pass it on to the European food safety authority for expertise, her spokeswoman said.

Re: OBAMA IN BED WITH MONSANTO CROOK / OBAMA APPOINTS VILSACK HEAD OF USDA?
Former Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack’s name has been tossed around for a week as a potential Cabinet appointee in the new Obama administration, but now a Washington, D.C., publication says he’s the “frontrunner” to be agriculture secretary.

Congressional Quarterly reported Tuesday that Vilsack “has emerged as the frontrunner” for the post. It cited congressional aides, interest groups and people close to the transition.

Congressional aides said Wednesday they have heard the talk that Vilsack is in the running. But none could gauge his chances.

The Obama transition office declined to comment Wednesday. And Matt Paul, Vilsack’s former spokesman, said Wednesday “this is all speculation.”

Talk about potential Cabinet appointments has run rampant since Obama’s election last week, much of it citing anonymous sources — or other media reports.

Vilsack, who launched his own brief bid for the presidency in 2007, backed Hillary Clinton before the Iowa caucuses. After, however, he campaigned for Obama in the general election.

He is now a resident fellow at Harvard’s Institute of Politics. Vilsack couldn’t be reached Wednesday.

Others mentioned as possible appointees are Tom Buis, the president of the National Farmers Union, and former Rep. Charles Stenholm of Texas.

If Vilsack were to be picked, he would be the first Iowan to be appointed agriculture secretary since Henry Wallace in the 1930s.

A spokeswoman for U.S. Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, said Vilsack would be an excellent choice.

“Gov. Vilsack has a strong record in Iowa on building opportunities in agriculture, renewable energy and conservation,” spokeswoman Kate Cyrul said. “Sen. Harkin has been a supporter from the time Tom Vilsack ran for governor to the time he ran for president and believes he would be a strong secretary of agriculture.”

Harkin chairs the Senate Agriculture Committee.

Mindless is right. are we going to get the National Animal Identification Program, Codex, everything, on a platter next year, courtesy of the dread locked, pierced, tattooed "radical" crowd?

I was just thinking about absolute evil and Monsanto came to mind. Because the terminator seed (seed that grow plants that cannot reproduce) are the work of the devil and Monsanto is what evil is all about.

Can you imagine when the economy totally collapses and we are trying to grow our own food and we discover that our seed die off ... because some shitty executive at Monsanto wanted to increase profits?

I won't judge them but God and Jesus will and I'm sure they will be found wanting during the spiritual harvest of souls.

This the same guy that wants us to get used to freezing in the winter, did not want to do anything about 5 dollar a gallon gas, Thinks global warming is real, wants a carbon tax, wants more war in afganistan, still thinks Bin Ladin did 9-11, still thinks Al Qeada is an organized terror group, wants our guns, and bibles, Thinks it is ok to have illegals invading, thinks Israel is his boss, Sucks up to Big Oil, Big Pharma, Big Agra, and would like to force everyone onto his national health care plan, even if that don't want any part of it. Those who don't play along will be punished. He'll activate the draft, and also his million man youth brigade to police your neighborhoods.

He had a bunch of you fooled. Now we are all going to pay!
