The War on Food.
Can Food Be Employed As a Weapon?

If you got a touch of the warrior in you, like I do, you might want to consider the following before you settle in to watch that favorite TV show or read that novel.  Our lives and liberties may be in danger!  Don’t worry, everything I say is backed by documentation.

I am honored and excited defending life and liberty.  An ancient Chinese philosopher in his works, “The Art of War”, emphasized, Know yourself.  Know your enemy.  Know your circumstances.  To me the above is almost as important as the golden rule taught by the Bible.  Perhaps the material below will help us understand the former critical commandments.




When people read the above they laugh because according to the laws of nature such a thing could not happen and who would want to screw a parrot anyway.  After you read the information below not only would you know that such a thing could happen, perhaps because of the power of science it could be happening.

        A.  FDA Scientists Discuss Various Safety Concerns
1.             Comments from Dr. Linda Kahl, FDA compliance officer, to Dr. James Maryanski, FDA Biotechnology Coordinator, about 4 the Federal Register document "Statement of Policy: Foods from Genetically Modified Plants."  Dated January 8, 1992. (3 pages) View Our Summary - View Document - Print Document  This article as far as I can tell states their is no way to compare the risk of traditional breeding verses genetic engineering because at the time their is no data on the impact of genetically engineered foods.  If what this scientist is saying is true then the powers that be are conducting a giant experiment with us and the environment with no idea about what could happen.

4.       Memorandum from Dr. Edwin J. Mathews to the Toxicology Section of the Biotechnology Working Group. Subject: "Analysis of the Major Plant Toxicants."  Dated October 28, 1991. (2 pages) View Our Summary - View Document - Print Document  This scientist stated that when you change genetic material in a plant, there are two conditions that can make the toxins in the plant either more dangerous or less dangerous than their natural counterpart plants.

7.   Memorandum from Dr. Samuel I. Shibko to Dr. James Maryanski, FDA Biotechnology Coordinator.  Subject: "Revision of Toxicology Section of the Statement of Policy: Foods Derived from Genetically Modified Plants." Dated January 31, 1992. (3 pages) View Our Summary - View Document - Print Document

He also states there is no way to know how genetically altered plants will impact humans or the environment.           
  
10.  Comments from Dr. Louis J. Pribyl re: the "Biotechnology Draft Document, 2/27/92." Dated March 6, 1992. (5 pages) View Our Summary - View Document - Print Document 
He felt that FDA draft document glossed over potential risks of genetically engineered plants favorable to bio tech industry.  The document tended to see the risks in natural breeding and genetically engineering as the same.  He felt that each technique presented different risks.  He was not commenting which type of risk were more dangerous.

13.             Comments from Dr. Louis J. Pribyl re: "... the March 18, 1992 Version of the Biotechnology Document." Dated March 18, 1992. (1 page) View Our Summary - View Document - Print Document   
Here the doctor explains how genetic changes can modify the plant in unexpected ways.

16.            Comments from Division of Food Chemistry and Technology and Division of Contaminants Chemistry. Subject: "Points to Consider for Safety Evaluation of Genetically Modified Foods.  Supplemental Information."  Dated November 1, 1991. (3 pages) View Our Summary - View Document - Print Document
Page 6
I found interesting that with natural plant breeding, breeding occurs with sexually compatible species.  With genetic engineering, organisms do not have to be sexually compatible so plants can receive genetic material from animals, insects or bacteria or viruses with unknown impacts on the new plant or environment.


19.             Memorandum from Dr. Mitchell Smith, Head, Biological and Organic Chemistry Section, to Dr. James Maryanski, Biotechnology Coordinator.  Subject: "Comments on Draft Federal Register Notice on Food Biotechnology, Dec. 12, 1991 draft."  Dated January 8, 1992. (2 pages) View Our Summary - View Document - Print Document
This person had two primary concerns.  First the draft seemed to support the biotech industry's right to insert genetically modified food and GMO ingredients into the food supply without the consumer’s knowledge.  Second he disagrees with the draft's position implying very little difference in risks associated with traditional plant breeding techniques verses newly developed genetic modification techniques. 


21.             Letter from Dr. James Maryanski, Biotechnology Coordinator, to Dr. Bill Murray, Chairman of the Food Directorate, Canada.  Subject: the safety assessment of foods and food ingredients developed through new biotechnology.  Dated October 23, 1991. (2 pages) View Our Summary - View Document - Print Document
As well as commenting on potential toxic affects of GMO technology he mentions possible increases of allergic reactions when GMO foods are ingested.

25.  Comments from Dr. Carl B. Johnson on the "draft statement of policy 12/12/91."  Dated January 8, 1992. (2 pages) View Our Summary - View Document - Print Document
He goes through document page by page.  The following caught my attention.  On page 28 he states the nature of unintended effects of gene expression may vary depending on 4 factors.  On page 34 he claimed the document provided situations where studies would not be needed for the development of certain types of genetically modified foods.  If I understand 
Page 7
this scientist’s thought process, I think he is stating that the document states that under some conditions if the modified genes is inserted only in one place then the impact on the environment can be more easily studied.  On the other hand if genes are inserted in multiple sites then it will be very difficult to determine the cause of detrimental impacts that may result.  I think that the document is implying that FDA is not likely to approve genetically modified food that involves insertion of genes at multiple sites.  However the document does not provide scientific evidence to justify their position.  On page 38 he questions the idea that the crop developer prove that his food is nonallergenic.  He believes such a plan is impossible to implement.  Comments regarding page 38 indicate to me that FDA scientists understood the potential for GMO foods to increase allergic reactions.  His comments on page 87 make it clear to me that he believes the document states that toxicology studies are not necessary for genetically modified plant foods where foreign genetic material is inserted into the plant genome only at one site.   He definitely disagrees with the documents position and provides scientific evidence to support his position.  


28.             Memorandum from Dr. Gerald B. Guest, Director of the Center for Veterinary Medicine, to Dr. James Maryanski, Biotechnology Coordinator.  Subject: "Regulation of Transgenic Plants--FDA Draft Federal Register Notice on Food Biotechnology."  Dated February 5, 1992. (4 pages) View Our Summary - View Document - Print Document
Dr. Guest's primary concern is that unlike humans, some animals such as cattle obtain 50 to 70% of their food from 1 plant or food source.  Therefore if the corn, soybeans or alfalfa in their animal food is genetically modified as much of it is now, perhaps detrimental effects on the animal or human health would be more profound.  He suggests that veterinarian scientists play a major role in determining which GMO foods are allowed in animal feed.

     B.  Specific Objections to Use of Antibiotic-Resistant Marker Genes


34.  Memorandum from Dr. Murray Lumpkin to Dr. Bruce Burlington.  Subject: "The tomatoes that will eat Akron." Dated December 17, 1992. (7 pages) View Our Summary - View Document - Print Document
Dr. Lumpkin came out squarely against the approval of this genetically modified tomato.

37. Memorandum from Dr. Albert Sheldon to Dr. James Maryanski, Biotechnology Coordinator.  Subject: "Use of Kanamycin Resistance Markers in Tomatoes."  Dated March 30, 1993.  (3 pages)     View Our Summary - View Document - Print Document                                                                                                                                He reviewed studies finding that the Kanamycin Resistance marker did not interfere with the effectiveness of antibiotics fed to cattle and other food animals and it did not change in an adverse way the bacteria in the guts of animals.  These studies indicate that the scientists are aware that genetically modified food can adversely impact gut bacteria.  However he felt that if this marker is introduced on a wide spread scale in tomatoes, cotton seed and other plants there is no way to know the potential impact it would have on our environment.



C.  Safety Questions Raised by Tests on the Flavr Savr Tomato--the Most Thoroughly Tested Bioengineered Food         40.             Memorandum from Dr. Fred Hines to Dr. Linda Kahl.  Subject: "FLAVR SAVR Tomato:" ... "Pathology Branch's Evaluation of Rats with Stomach Lesions From Three Four-Week Oral (Gavage) Toxicity Studies" ... "and an Expert Panel's Report."  Dated June 16, 1993. (3 pages) View Our Summary - View Document - Print Document
Some studies indicate detrimental changes in the stomachs of some rats fed GMO tomatoes.



43.             Memorandum from Robert J. Scheuplein, Ph.D. to the FDA Biotechnology Coordinator and others. Subject: "Response to Calgene Amended Petition." Dated October 27, 1993. (3 pages) View Our Summary - View Document - Print Document
Page 9
The sponsors of the GMO product conducted studies evaluating the safety of the product.  A rare number of rats fed the product developed stomach lesions.  Some evidence indicated that the rats developed the legions due to fasting but it is not clear.   Overall the product seems to be safe but this is not entirely clear from the data presented.

46.             Memorandum from Dr. Carl B. Johnson to Dr. Linda Kahl & Others.  Subject: "Flavr Savr(TM) tomato; significance of pending DHEE question." Dated Dec 7, 1993. (1 page) View Our Summary - View Document - Print Document
The sponsors of the Flavr Savr tomato studies did not conclusively prove that their tomato is safe.

D.  Additional Evidence of Improprieties In The Formation Of FDA Policy On Bioengineered Foods 
          
58.             Memorandum from Dr. James Maryanksi, Biotechnology Coordinator, to the Director of the Center for Applied Nutrition.  Subject: "FDA Task Group on Food Biotechnology: Progress Report 2." Dated August 15, 1991. (1 page) View Our Summary - View Document - Print Document
This document is interesting for two reasons.  First Dr. Maryanski admits that the FDA under certain conditions will allow GMO foods to be produced even though the effects of the food are unknown.  In those specific cases the sponsor of such a product will have to go through some kind of petition process with the FDA to get the product approved.  Second he suggests that once such food is introduced into the food supply that it be clearly labeled so   consumers can choose if they would like to consume the product.  However according to present FDA rules companies that produce such genetically altered products are encouraged to voluntarily label their products for the consumers.  They don't because they realize that such labeling will harm their sales.      



61.  Memorandum from David Kessler, Commissioner of Food & Drugs.  Subject: "FDA Proposed Statement of Policy Clarifying the Regulation of Food Derived from Genetically Modified Plants--DECISION." Dated March 20, 1992. (4 pages) View Our Summary - View Document - Print Document 
Page 10
Here the FDA is discussing how to regulate GMO foods and ingredients.  Interestingly they consider the regulating of genetically modified food and extension of the regulations provided for regulating foods created by traditional plant breeding techniques.  They mention in the last paragraph many groups insisting that any such foods produced be clearly labeled for consumers.  However they state they have not developed a position on labeling.     

64.  Letter from Terry Medley, J.D. (of USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service), to Dr. James Maryanski, Biotechnology Coordinator.  Subject: "Comments on FDA Draft Statement of Policy on foods derived from new plant varieties, including plants derived by recombinant DNA techniques. Dated April 2, 1992. (5 pages) View Our Summary - View Document - Print Document
Mr. Medly felt the document overall was well written and comprehensive, however the tone was too alarmist concerning the risks of biotechnology with GMO foods although theoretically the dire predictions could occur.  His comment on page 3 concerning page 17 of the document regarding possible toxicants produced in GMO foods I liked.  He noted that many foods that we eat contained toxicants.  My note, that is why we have a liver to remove poisons and toxins.  His comment on page 20 of the document and page 4 of his letter, states that the FDA has no way of determining the extent that GMO plants may induce or increase allergic reactions.  He suggests post testing the newly created plants to see if they increase allergic reactions and/or label the plants or ingredients that come from them if they become part of our food supply, so that consumers know what they are ingesting.  




Note from Eric Katz (Dept. of Health & Human Services) to John Gallivan.  Subject: "Food Biotechnology Policy Statement."  Dated March 27, 1992. (2 pages) View Our Summary - View Document - Print Document

Page 11 
The author was impressed with the document.  He felt more studies needed to be done with other species that might ingest the altered plants.  Also the waste of the animals that eat the altered plants need to be analyzed for changes and how might the changes in the animals waste impact the environment.
70.             Memorandum from James B. MacRae, Jr. (of the Office of Management and Budget), for C. Boyden Gray (President Bush’s White House counsel).  Subject: "FDA Food Biotechnology Policy."  Dated March 21, 1992. (2 pages) View Our Summary - View Document - Print Document
I find Mr. MacRae's thoughts interesting.  In paragraph 4 he down plays the differences in food production between traditional breeding and biotech methods of food production.  He says the focus of the FDA needs to be simply the safety of the food not the method of production.  On a surface level what he says makes sense.  You dig a bit deeper it does not.  Creation until recently normally occurs through sexual reproduction for millions of species.  Goats, tomatoes, cod and other unrelated species cannot exchange DNA.  However we can create an infinite number of differing plants or animals using DNA of any of the above in infinite combinations.  What is not known is what impact such creations will have on the environment.  It is completely up in the air.  However preliminary data indicates that perhaps this technology is already causing unintended consequences which I will describe below.  In paragraph 8 on the second page of his letter he states that bio-technolgy's precise techniques can produce safer more predictable foods.  Again in the short run this may be true but how about the long run?  What impact can these genetic changes have on our gut flora, on the micro-organisms in the soil, on other creatures throughout time.

Although millions of species reproduce sexually not all DNA is transferred this way.  Bacteria and micro-organisms can reproduce in other ways.  Mutations can be caused by viruses that enter the system and take over the DNA of cells.  They can also exchange DNA with other microorganisms.  Can genetically altered plants and animals alter the gut bacteria or soil micro-organisms.  FDA scientists seen to think the above is possible if some of the above studies are accurate.  There are probably thousands of ways that genetically altered organisms can alter the environment and I bet the FDA, USDA and other government agencies have only studied some of the ways that interaction could occur.
 Page 12
If you go through the FDA documents above you will note that some of the scientists speculated that the introduction of GMO foods might cause an increase in allergies.  Starting in the 1990ties GMO food has increasingly become a part of our diet.  During this time allergies and other chronic conditions have skyrocketed.  I don't know if anyone has directly implemented GMO products to these illnesses but it is an interesting possible causal relationship.  The AMA recognizes this potential and now requests that GMO foods be safely tested before entering the market.

1992 The FDA Statement of Policy – Foods Derived From New Plant Varieties
http://www.fda.gov/Food/GuidanceComplianceRegulatoryInformation/GuidanceDocuments/Biotechnology/ucm096095.htm  This material is taken from FDA Federal Register Volume 57 – 1992 Friday, May 29, 1992 Notices In this document, the FDA first clearly takes the position that there is normally no material difference between GMO foods and their natural plant counterparts, therefore there is no need to force food producers to label GMO foods.  See Part I Background and Overview of Policy.  Despite taking that position, the paper is remarkably candid about potential risks of genetically modified organisms.  It is well worth reading to illustrate that even scientists at the FDA had reservations about this new technology.  Here are some interesting points within the document.
·       Under the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) title 21, the FDA has broad authority to initiate action against producers of adulterated food, however food producers are expected to ensure their food is safe and in compliance.  FDA often relies on the reports of producers and their studies to determine if they are in compliance!  Sometimes the jurisdiction of regulatory procedures is unclear so producers can informally work with the FDA.  See II Responsibility for Food Safety.
·        Page 13
The title of this article is Guidance for Industry: Voluntary Labeling Indicating Whether Foods Have or Have Not Been Developed Using Bioengineering; Draft Guidance.
In 2000 the FDA held 3 public hearings regarding the 1992 policy regarding GMO foods.  They received over 50,000 written comments.  The majority of comments regarding labeling GMO requested that GMO foods be clearly labeled.  However the FDA claimed since those who requested labeling did not back up their concerns with data, the previous policy remains in effect. 

What is ironic about their statement about data is that it is very difficult for independently funded scientists to provide data to support their concerns about GMO food.  This is because patent law allows biotechnology companies to closely guard their inventions so that only company paid scientists are allowed to study their products!

They did stipulate that all but small producers needed to satisfy certain FDA Regulations in order to claim their food as organic.  One stipulation for a food to be organic is that it cannot have any bioengineering or GMO contamination.

Percentages of 3 different varieties of genetically modified plants are compared as well as total percent of genetically modified food planted by state and the U.S. for the years 2000-2012. http://www.ers.usda.gov/data-products/adoption-of-genetically-engineered-crops-in-the-us.aspx  Once you click on the link, you will be given an overview of the data.  A little below the middle of the page you will see the words Data Set.  Underneath that you will see a link, Genetically Engineered 
Page 14
Varieties of Corn, Upland Cotton and Soybeans by State and for the United States,  2000-2012.  If you click on it several Microsoft Exel sheets of data will be downloaded to your computer.

The graphs at the following link from the U.S.D.A. show what % of the corn, cotton and soybean crops that are genetically modified since their introduction in 1996 in the United States. http://www.ers.usda.gov/data-products/adoption-of-genetically-engineered-crops-in-the-us/recent-trends-in-ge-adoption.aspx

Now it is up to you to connect the dots.  If most of the corn and soy in the U.S. are GMO then most of the corn and soy products that you eat or any processed food with corn or soy as part of their ingredients are also GMO. 

Just as scary, most of the animal feeds for cattle and poultry we eat have lots of corn or soy bean products in them.  Therefore most of the meat eaten by Americans unless designated non GMO fed or organic, they are likely fed GMO feed as a main part of their diet.  It is still unclear if such policies could harm humans.

GMO corn, soy cotton and other GMO plants were fully introduced into our crop supply in 1996 and within a decade became more prominent than natural grown varieties.  See the data in the tables in link above, in this article.  In the article below the next one called, Increase in Allergies and Other Chronic Conditions Over Time, you will see a startling phenomenon.  Around 1996 or 1997 you began seeing a significant rise in allergies and other chronic conditions.  Could a causal relationship exist between GMO foods and the increase in allergies, immune disorders and other chronic conditions?  Only time will tell.

Most Animal Feed Consists of 50 to 75% GMO Corn or Soy.
Memorandum from Dr. Gerald B. Guest, Director of the Center for Veterinary Medicine Subject: "Regulation of Transgenic Plants--FDA Draft Federal Register Notice on Food Biotechnology View Our Summary - View Document - Print Document

Dr. Guest's primary concern is that unlike humans, some animals such as cattle obtain 50 to 70% of their food from 1 plant or food source.  See item 28 on page 7 of this article. 
Also see the FDA 1992 Statement of Policy Foods Derived From New Plant Varieties at the Following Link. http://www.fda.gov/Food/GuidanceComplianceRegulatoryInformation/GuidanceDocuments/Biotechnology/ucm096095.htm#contents
Click on table of Contents.  Go to letter H called Issues Specific to Animal Feeds.  It is about a third of the way down the document.  In the first paragraph it says and I quote, “Unlike a food in the human diet, an animal feed from a single plant may constitute a significant portion of the animal diet.  For instance, 50 to 75 percent of the diet of most domestic animals consist of field corn.  Therefore, a change in nutrient or toxicant composition that is considered insignificant for human consumption may be a very significant change in the animal diet”. 

GMOs should be safety tested before they hit the market says AMA 

Here are links to various articles below documenting increasing rates of allergies and chronic conditions.
Increase in Allergies and Other Chronic Conditions Over Time
Before discussing the data, some cautions need to be explored when considering the rates of allergies over time.  First, societal and scientific definitions of allergies differ and also governments are slow to implement policies concerning allergies.  Part of the cause for allergies might be the availability of food from all around the world.  Since international standards for allergies have not been set many researchers focus on cases of severe life threatening allergies (anaphylaxis) instead of less severe forms of allergies so this also affects the types of data in studies.  Here is a link to this pubmed article called Food allergies on the rise?  Determining the prevalence of food allergies, and how quickly it is increasing, is the first step in tackling the problem. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1679775/
Page 16 
Keeping the above in mind, the Milken Institute published a detailed study in 2007 projecting what will happen if present trends in the rates of chronic illnesses continued to increase through 2023.  The report is called An Unhealthy America: The Economic Burden of Chronic Disease Charting a New Course to Save Lives and Increase Productivity and Economic Growth.  After stating some dire predictions they offer solutions to turn us around.  They projected that the rates of 7 chronic conditions would increase by the following percentages if we do not change course: cancers, 62%; mental disorders, 54%; diabetes, 53%; heart disease, 41%; hypertension, 39%; pulmonary conditions, 31% and stroke 29%.   The visual graph of the above figures can be seen on page 11. http://www.milkeninstitute.org/healthreform/pdf/AnUnhealthyAmericaExecSumm.pdf

According to CDC data, food allergies among children have increased over time and this trend is also occurring in other countries.  The CDC stated that part of the reason for this increase could be better diagnostic capabilities and or it could be that people are more knowledgeable about allergies so children are more likely to be referred to doctors.  I include the data also because according to the CDC, allergies of all forms are an immune disorder.  Here are some findings
·      In 2007, approximately 3 million children under age 18 years (3.9%) were reported to have a food   or digestive allergy in the previous 12 months.
·      From 1997 to 2007, the prevalence of reported food allergy increased 18% among children under age 18 years. 
·      Children with food allergy are two to four times more likely to have other related conditions such as asthma and other allergies, compared with children without food allergies.
·      From 1998 until 2006 the number of children admitted to hospitals with allergy conditions more than tripled from approximately 2,016 average cases from 1998 to 2000 to and average of 9,537 cases per year from 2004-2006!! Here is the title and link to the CDC website. Food Allergies Among Children Becoming More Common Over Time  http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/databriefs/db10.htm

Asthma rates increasing in U.S., despite less smoking and decreased air pollution [Updated/Los Angeles Times/5/4/2011  http://www.latimes.com/health/boostershots/la-heb-asthma-rates-increasing-05032011,0,866950.story   Here are some significant findings according to the CDC.
·      1 in 12 people in the United States now have asthma approximately 24.6 million people and increase of 4.3 million people since 2001.
·      By 2007 costs for treatment of people with the condition totaled approximately 56 billion.
·      The quality of the outside air is improving and there is a decrease in smoking so we do not know why the rates for asthma are going up according to Ileana Arias, the principal deputy director of the CDC said at a news conference.
·      Researchers have changed the way they measure the incidence of asthma in the 1990ties but they still know, there has been an increasing incidence of asthma over the last several decades according to Paul Garbe, chief of the CDC's air pollution and respiratory health branch.

Below are other chronic conditions

The following information on chronic conditions and chronic diseases was taken from the CDC website.  www.cdc.gov/chronicdisease/overview/index.htm
·      ½ of all adults have at least 1 chronic condition.  In this case some of these conditions may be asymptomatic so people don’t know they have the condition.  It did not specify how many have symptomatic verses asymptomatic chronic conditions. 
·      1/3 of adults are obese.  1/5 of children are obese between the ages of 6-19.  Obesity is a prominent factor in diabetes as well as other conditions..
·      Arthritis is the most common disability in the U.S.  19 million Americans have limitations in their ability to move as a result of arthritis.  Many scientists believe that arthritis is an auto-immune disorder!
·      Diabetes is the leading cause of kidney failure.
Page 18
·      Most chronic conditions can be avoided or their severity lessened by life style changes.  Exercise, proper nutrition, and limited or no tobacco or alcohol consumption.

By 2020, about 157 million Americans will be afflicted by chronic illnesses, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Chronic Care in America. 
From 1980-2009 crude prevalence of diagnosed diabetes increased by 164%  www.cdc.gov/diabetes/prev/national/figage.htm

U.S. Diabetes rate climbs above 11%; it could hit 15% by 2015 according to Gallop-Healthways Well Being Index.  Americans who are obese are 3X more likely to be diagnosed with diabetes.  I have read that some scientists believe that diabetes is also an autoimmune disorder where the immune system eventually destroys the part of the pancreas that produces insulin.  This destruction results in diabetes.


Thyroid Cancers Increasing, in fact, according to new data from the National Cancer Institute (NCI), thyroid cancer diagnoses have increased at a rate of 6.5 percent a year from 1997 to 2006.  Scientists don't know why. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/05/090504205917.htm

Above I raise the question if the introduction of GMO foods could have caused the rise of allergies and other chronic conditions?  This link below claims that vaccines are the culprit.    
 New Zealand has one of the lowest vaccination rates among the developed world.  It also has one of the lowest allergy rates in its population.

If you cannot access the links to the information on allergies and chronic illnesses in the email you can go to  http://unclesamenterstheendgamepart4.blogspot.com/2011/09/united-nations-in-relationship-to-new_26.html  The links from above plus many more can be found starting on page 61 through 66. 

     This raises some interesting thoughts?  What are possible causes of this rise in various chronic conditions and allergies?  To be fair, autoimmune disorders are increasing in both Europe and the U.S.  So since Europe does not have much GMO foods this makes a direct link between the introduction of GMO and autoimmune disorders hard to prove.  On the other hand, I read that European cattle and poultry food animals are fed GMO feed.  Perhaps if humans eat such animals, it could adversely impact their health. 
     However, what I find fascinating about our system is the employment of plausible deniability.  Let's consider two cases.  First the above, they have tested various foods like the Flavr Savr tomato.  The company producing 
Page 20
the tomato provided studies that showed that the tomato was probably safe with rats so it is likely safe with people.  However, what about long term effects?  Who knows?
     Let's consider depleted uranium weapons that our soldiers have been using in various recent wars.  Studies indicate that moderate exposure to the dust from these weapons don't do any harm.  They don't know if any harm can come from long-term exposure or whether even short term or moderate term exposure might be bad for some over the long term.  To look at some research concerning depleted uranium, go to http://unclesamenterstheendgamepart3.blogspot.com/2011/09/relationship-between-military.html  Go to pages 41-55 to review several studies regarding depleted uranium.
     So lets say you get cancer or your child suffered a major birth defect, is autistic or suffers severe allergies.  What caused it?   It might be the pesticides, or chemicals in our food, air and water.  It might be the exposure of one of his parents to depleted uranium in one of the wars.  Perhaps a stray molecule of radiation got into you or your child through the air or food from Fukushima.  It might be the genetically modified corn or soy ingested from some of the processed food that you or your child ate?  Perhaps the genetically altered food fed to the cattle now caused some kind of change in the meat and that somehow impacted you or your wife when she was pregnant with your child.  Maybe the electro-magnetic radiation from the microwave oven, cell phone or the smart meter next to your house tipped the scales.  Perhaps it was some combination of the above that combined tipped the scales.
     The point is the depleted weapons, cell phones, pesticides, smart meters, genetically modified food and countless other chemicals have been tested on animal subjects and rarely cause severe reactions so they have been deemed safe for human subjects.  Of course nothing is completely safe there will be somebody that has a bad reaction just like in animal trials.  The point is what happens when you are exposed to more and more chemicals, electro-magnetic radiation, genetically modified food or pesticides.  Is there a tipping point where different chemicals, radiation, vaccines, genetically altered foods etc start interacting with each other in a synergistic way so although any one of these inputs by themselves are not harmful to very many people but together their interactions are very toxic.  Unfortunately there is no way to test this hypothesis. 
Page 21
     Some scientists say that GMO foods are more beneficial than harmful.  I do know that they are fairly prevalent in our food supply.  Maybe they are not that good for us if you look at data concerning prescription drugs.  We consume more prescription drugs than any place on the globe.  Does that mean we are less healthy than other nations?  I don’t know.  Could GMO foods play a role in our feelings of disease?  Consider the following data.

Alcoholism another Chronic Health Condition http://www.cdc.gov/vitalsigns/BingeDrinking/index.html
The addict is the natural ally of the Tyrant for the addiction gradually weakens the individual until others must care for him.  A constitutional republic cannot survive unless the people are willing and able to care for themselves.
Here are some interesting statistics from this CDC government website.
·      38 million adults binge drinks consuming 4 drinks or more in a short period of time 4 times or more during each month.  The largest number of drinks per binge on average is 8 drinks.  About 1 in 6 adults binge drink.
·      The average number of drinks on any given binge is 5.
·      Drinking too much including binge drinking causes approximately 80,000 deaths a year in the U.S.  In 2006 alcoholism cost the economy 223.5 billion.
·      The age group with the most binge drinkers is 18-34 years.
·      The age group that binge drinks most often are 65 or more.
·      The income group with the most binge drinkers is more than $75,000
·      The income group that binge drinks the most often and drinks most per binge makes less than $25,000
·      Most alcohol-impaired drivers binge drink.
·      However, most people who binge drink are not acoholics.

Below are statistics related to carbonated soda.  I have suspected that a hidden addiction afflicting many is the addiction to sugar.  Also one of the primary ingredients found in most sodas is high fructose corn syrup.  Most of the corn grown and fed to our livestock is GMO corn and the fructose corn syrup found in the soda is genetically modified.  Many serious chronic health conditions are associated with the over consumption of these carbonated sodas.  
American Soda Consumption: Half of Us Drink it Everyday, Study Says
Of the 49% of us who drink soda the average consumption per day is 2.6 glasses a day.  Soda’s high potassium content causes calcium to be depleted resulting in higher tooth decay, osteoporosis and other health issues.  Sodas also contain high amounts of high fructose corn syrup that not only is associated with many health problems but is also a genetically modified ingredient.   http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/25/half-of-americans-drink-soda-everyday-consumption_n_1699540.html

Although mixing human and animal genes is frowned upon and is probably illegal except under stringent conditions in U.S., it still probably occurs and is not illegal elsewhere.  See the articles starting on page 29.  Here are a couple of links but if you google the title you will get a lot of articles.
Since such animals exist it throws a curve ball on what it means to be a human.  What legal rights would such creatures have?  What responsibility would we have toward such creatures?  Do we really want to go down this road?

Details of hybrid clone revealed
     It is believed that a cell from a man’s leg and a cow’s egg were used to generate the clone.  The DNA from the cow egg was removed and the DNA from the man’s cell was inserted into the cow egg.  The modified egg was exposed to chemicals stimulating it to grow as an embryo.  The cells divided for 12 days before the scientists killed it, stating that was not really alive because it takes a human embryo about 14 days to attach itself to the uterine wall.
     


Of Mice, Men and In-Between
Scientists Debate Blending Of Human, Animal Forms
A lot of info in this article is covered in other places but here are further interesting facts taken directly from the article.
Page 27
·      In Nevada, there are sheep whose livers and hearts are largely human.
·      In California mice have human cells firing in their brains.
·      No Federal guidelines exist for the question, how human must an animal be before stringent guidelines are observed for research.
·      For many years scientists have added human genes to bacteria and farm animals that allow the animals to create human proteins such as insulin for use as medicines.
·      Scientists have injected human cells into pig fetuses and these cells multiply within the pigs so the pig is part human and part pig.  Also some of the human and pig cells fuse creating hybrid cells containing both human and pig material
·      The upside of such activities is organs can be harvested from these creatures and used for human transplants.  The downside is that viruses that only attack pigs can lodge in these fused cells and adapt and modify themselves so they can attack humans.  According to the Washington Post scientists consider this a real danger for any type of animal human hybrid produced for these purposes.
·      Irving Weissman, director of Stanford University’s Institute of Cancer/Stem Cell Biology and Medicine, helped create the first mouse with a nearly complete human immune system.  Such animals in his view are invaluable in testing drugs for AIDS virus since regular mice do not succumb to this disease.
·      He is studying how human cells evolve and connect to mouse cells over time and hope to discover early development flaws that occur in human infants or children which might later lead to brain diseases such as Lou Gehrig’s, Parkinson disease and other brain disorders.  His group has created mice with varying percentages of human brain cells within their brains.
·      He is contemplating creating mice with 100% human brains.  If the brains organize themselves in a human way he would kill the mice.  He is asking the University’s ethics department for an opinion.

 Page 28
Chimeras: A Review  This article defines chimeras and reviews many of the experiments occurring with them as of 2005. http://chimera.greyfalcon.us/  An experiment not done as of yet, but is possible is to place human stem cells into animal fetuses.  The cells would migrate to all parts of the animal’s body and would be found in all organs of the animal as it grew.  Such humanized animals could be used for drug experiments or organ transplants.  Some of the cells could also go to the reproductive organs so that it would be possible for two humanized mice that mate could produce human offspring.

USDA Won’t Impose Restrictions On Biotech Alfalfa/Wall Street Journal 1/27/2011
The Obama Administration abandoned the proposal to restrict genetically modified alfalfa that tolerates high levels of the herbicide Roundup in its view to eliminate regulations that are burdensome to business.  The vast majority of the nation’s corn, soybeans, and cotton are grown from genetically modified varieties.  Some biotechnology officials have predicted that U.S. farmers will use genetically modified seeds to grow ½ of the nation’s alfalfa. 
Page 29
In the week following this article the USDA is expected to decide whether to approve the planting of genetically modified sugar beets in time for this year’s planting.  Below are concerns. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703399204576108601430251740.html?mod=wsj_share_twitter
·      According to Federal rules relating to organic foods, organic farmers cannot sell any foods as organic if the food has any DNA in the food that is genetically modified.  Even the Secretary of the USDA Tom Vilsack, admits in an open letter to stakeholders in this conflict, stated that the risk that pollen from genetically modified plants contaminating natural varieties is substantial rendering their seeds no longer natural. http://www.usda.gov/documents/Open_Letter_Stakeholders_12-30-2010.pdf  This law applies to any organically raised cattle as well.  If these cattle acidently consume genetically modified alfalfa then the meat of these cattle according to Federal rules could no longer be sold as organic meat.

·      The following concerns do not come from the Wall Street Journal article.  According to Dr. Joseph Mercola three organic producers including Whole Foods, caved into Monsanto’s demands to allow genetically modified alfalfa to be grown along side organically grown natural alfalfa. http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2011/03/05/whole-foods--major-betrayal-of-organic-movement.aspx
·      I have not documented the following here but some of the concerns can be found in this file, other files or on the internet.
·      The primary concern about the introduction of genetically modified foods is that their has been no long term experiments studying their impact on humans, other plants and animals in the environment.  The fact that they are here now, illustrates that we and the rest of life are part of this great experiment to determine the long term impact of genetically modified food!
·      Preliminary comments from internet sources claim the following.  Many animals fed genetically modified food suffer from infertility, hormonal disruptions, allergies and other auto-immune disorders.  Others claim that these disorders are rising in the human population in direct correlation to the increasing exposure of our species to genetically modified products.  See

60 Minutes/4/4/10/Should Biotech Firms Be Able to Own Human Genes
In European countries, genes cannot be owned by businesses.  In U.S. law, companies that discover human genes can take out patents on the genes.  1/3 of our genes have been claimed in this way. 

One women who had an aggressive form of breast cancer in her family asked for a test related to a gene.  The company that owned the rights to the defective gene charged $3,000 for the test.  Since the women’s insurance company did not cover the test, the lab refused to give the patient the test.

If women happen to get a positive result for the test, they would probably want a second opinion which in medicine has been their right for hundreds of years, in this case too bad.  This is the only company that owns the patent for the test so no other lab owned by a different company can provide the test!


Government Involvement
Michael R Taylor Secretary of Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Formally Lawyer for Monsanto
Michael R. Taylor's appointment by the Obama administration to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on July 7th sparked immediate debate and even outrage among many food and agriculture researchers, NGOs and activists. The Vice President for Public Policy at Monsanto Corp. from 1998 until 2001, Taylor exemplifies the revolving door between the food industry and the government agencies that regulate it. He is reviled for shaping and implementing the government's favorable agricultural biotechnology policies during the Clinton administration.
 Page 32
Yet what has slipped under everyone's radar screen is Taylor's involvement in setting U.S. policy on agricultural assistance in Africa. In collusion with the Rockefeller and Bill and Melinda Gates foundations, Taylor is once again the go-between man for Monsanto and the U.S. government, this time with the goal to open up African markets for genetically-modified (GM) seed and agrochemicals. http://www.organicconsumers.org/articles/article_18866.cfm 
Here is a run down on some history concerning Michael Taylor from Wikipedia.  After graduating in law Michael became a staff attorney for the FDA for a few years.  He then represented Monsanto leading the firm’s Food and drug law practice for 10 years.  He again did a short stint under Clinton in the FDA as the newly created post of Deputy Commissioner of Policy.  Later he returned to Monsanto to become the vice president for Public Policy.  On July 7, 2009, he was appointed by Obama as a senior advisor to the FDA Commissioner.
The Food and Drug Administration put out a blurb about him when Obama rehired him back to work at the FDA.  There was no mention of his work with Monsanto. http://www.fda.gov/NewsEvents/Newsroom/PressAnnouncements/ucm170842.htm

Although this does not directly relate to the U.N., I put this article here because there is a worldwide movement to establish international norms and rules for many things that now are controlled by national governments.  The article below this article ahttp://unclesamenterstheendgamepart4.blogspot.com/2011/09/united-nations-in-relationship-to-new.html  makes an incredible claim that food will one day be used as a weapon to reduce population.  This would be easier if 1 person or a small group of people controlled all regulations pertaining to the growing and consumption of food.  Is this the intent of the recently passed Senate bill 510?

This links directly to the bill S-510 referred to as the, To amend the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act with respect to the safety of the food supplyTo some the most dangerous bill ever conceived because a person in the government will have complete control over what food is grown and what food is banned as well as how food is processed!
The following link discusses concerns with the bill. www.govtrackinsider.com/articles/2010-10-15/s510
This is the text of the bill that passed the Senate. www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=s111-510  Just click on the link that says full text.  If you’re a little leery of the source, because it may seem too focused on “New World Order” here is a link to the bill passed by the Senate from the Library of Congress Thomas. http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/F?c111:3:./temp/~c111BmvRTy:e4244:

One of the most glaring things about the bill is that different parts are slashed out of the existing law and other parts are added to it then it tells you to refer to section such and such and paragraph such and such so if you are not specially trained then how is a layman suppose to figure out what the bill says!  In addition, much of it is written in legalize so that makes it hard to interpret.  However:
Page 34
If you look at the first section 101 you find the following quote. (2) USE OF OR EXPOSURE TO FOOD OF CONCERN- If the Secretary believes that there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to an article of food, and any other article of food that the Secretary reasonably believes is likely to be affected in a similar manner, will cause serious adverse health consequences or death to humans or animals, each person (excluding farms and restaurants) who manufactures, processes, packs, distributes, receives, holds, or imports such article shall, at the request of an officer or employee duly designated by the Secretary, permit such officer or employee, upon presentation of appropriate credentials and a written notice to such person, at reasonable times and within reasonable limits and in a reasonable manner, to have access to and copy all records relating to such article and to any other article of food that the Secretary reasonably believes is likely to be affected in a similar manner, that are needed to assist the Secretary in determining whether there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to the food will cause serious adverse health consequences or death to humans or animals.

First, the Secretary of the Food and Drug Administration will have complete control over the process of growing and processing food in the country.  It is he who will determine what a reasonable probability that a food is unsafe.

What does cause serious adverse health consequences mean?  Does it mean that 1 out of a hundred, thousand, ten thousand or one hundred thousand get sick to their stomach for a night or what?  What criteria is this one human being going to use to decide whether I grow, process or consume a food?

What about death?  If in a year 5 people whose immune systems are damaged for whatever reason die because they consumed raw cow’s milk, does that mean that I and the maybe 3,000 other people who have drank raw milk for years with no 
Page 35
apparent adverse health impacts in Arizona now have to stop drinking raw milk?  So what is going to be the criteria on deaths?  If I swallow too large a piece of steak and get it lodged in my windpipe does that mean the consumption of steak will be outlawed some day because people can choke on it.  Perhaps the consumption of tomatoes, broccoli, and chicken should be band because of salmonella.

Let’s look at another aspect of this just passed bill.  It states at a later date after the passage of the bill, the FDA not our elected officials will create and flesh out the scope of the final regulations.  If the past is any guide, whom do you think will be lobbying at the table hammering out these rules?  Do you think it will be the small family farmers or your local CSA’s and organic farmers or will it be the huge agri-businesses present to protect their interests?

Let’s bring this down to a personal level.  About ten years ago people in Arizona could buy raw milk from stores.  Now very few places sell it.  Even farmers can get in trouble for giving or selling raw cow or goat milk.  I drank raw milk for many years without any ill effects.  I happen to believe if you use common sense raw milk is far better for you than pasteurized milk.  Come to think of it I have eaten raw hamburger, chicken, steak and fish for years without adverse health effects.  Everybody says that is dangerous but I have been doing it for years.

But there is a growing movement for people to buy their milk fresh from trusted farmers.  The CDC and FDA advise against it.  Some day someone with a compromised immune system will probably die from fresh milk and it will be banned.  You will only be able to get it from highly regulated factories.

To add insult to injury and to rub salt in a fresh wound the present secretary of The Food and Drug Administration appointed by President Barack Obama is Michael R Taylor formally a lawyer for Monsanto one of the bioengineering companies creating genetically modified food.  There are no long term studies showing what impact genetically engineered food will have on us, the animals we feed it to or our environment!  Under the Clinton administration Michael Taylor actively lobbied to introduce genetically engineered crops to farmers in Africa.  See the articles directly below this article for more on Monsanto and Michael Taylor.
Here is related information from a CDC Survey in 2006-2007.
 Page 36
CDC FoodNet Surveys Found that Approximately 3% of Population of 10 States Consumed Raw Milk Within 7 Day Period During 2006-2007
The interviews occurred with 17,372 people, representing a total population of 45,883,553 in the states of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Maryland, Minnesota, New Mexico, New York, Oregon and Tennessee at taxpayers expense.  Page 13 of the link contains the data concerning the raw milk consumption in the 10 states. http://www.cdc.gov/foodnet/surveys/FoodNetExposureAtlas0607_508.pdf  Officials were comfortable because of the size of the sample, projecting that approximately 3% of the nation’s population was consuming raw milk at that time. 

According to the following websites, the laws against consumption of raw milk have been on the books for quite a few years before the FDA began it’s systematic crackdown on its consumption in 2006-2007.  These websites allege that until this time the consumption of unpasteurized raw milk was increasing rapidly causing the major diary companies to pressure the FDA to begin a crackdown.  In addition, there have been cases of individuals becoming sick from the consumption of raw milk but no deaths and little said about the numbers of consumers that consumed raw milk.  If the above data from the CDC surveys is accurate maybe 1 or 2 in a thousand actually experience intestinal sickness and reported the sickness from consuming it.  Balance this against the possible benefits for the other 999 out of 1,000 that consumed it.  Many of the prescription drugs that doctors prescribe are also known to cause side affects in small numbers of the population but these drugs have still been approved by the FDA. http://www.farmtoconsumer.org/open-letter-to-fdas-dairy-head-john-sheehan-bemis.htm    http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2011/07/06/ron-paul-vs-the-fda-milk-police.aspx

I thought the following study from NPR is interesting because many of the GMO plants produce their own pesticides so it is related to the topic at hand.
Page 37
Pesticide Exposure Linked to Significant
Intelligence Decline in Children/NPR 4/21/2011
If the link does not work, google Mothers’ Pesticide Exposure Linked to Kids IQ’s.  If these studies are actually reliable and valid then their implications are frightening for all of us.  Here are some highlights below.
·      Scientists report that children exposed to pesticides in the womb can have a reduction of 7points of IQ at the age of 7.  This works out to about a 6 month delay at that age so exposed children are about 6 months behind their peers at that age.  This is according to 3 independent studies reported in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives.
·      One study involved several hundred women and children who lived near farms where pesticides were sprayed.  They found that women that had the highest levels of pesticides in their systems had children with lower IQs at the age of 7.  These children’s IQ’s were 7 points lower than their non-exposed counterparts.
·      2 scientists at Columbia University in New York show that the risk of pesticide exposure occurs in city children as well.  They studied a specific pesticide used to kill roaches in New York City.  They found this pesticide in almost 100% of the air samples in the apartments.  They also measured the amount of the pesticide in the umbilical chord blood of 265 children in low- income households.  Those with the highest levels of the pesticide in their umbilical chord blood scored the lowest on amount of working memory and scores on IQ test at the age of 7.  Although the affects are small, children are at the age where they are starting school and these affects impact their learning, ability to attend and their ability to read.  This particular pesticide has been banned for indoor use but it is still sprayed outside along roads and other places and many people still have it in their systems.
·      Another study found that some people genetically are more at risk to pesticides or certain pesticides.  The best way to avoid these pesticides is to buy organic food.  If that is not possible then wash fruits and vegetables even oranges and other fruit that you peel to eliminate the traces of pesticides.  DOW who creates this pesticide wants to look at the studies before it comments.
Since pesticides are all around us how are any of us impacted.  Perhaps all of us are slightly dulled by the pesticides.  There’s no way of knowing but even a slight dulling in intellect in the aggregate could be profound. http://www.npr.org/2011/04/21/135605139/mothers-pesticide-exposure-linked-to-kids-iqs

According to the host, gmo’s and organic foods most coexist because it won’t be long before we have 9 billion people and organic methods of farming just don’t have the capacity to feed that many people.  Here is a transcript to part of the interview. http://www.marketplace.org/topics/life/non-organic-future?page=10

Fooling With Food Arizona Daily Star or Modifying Food with Genetics  
http://azstarnet.com/lifestyles/food-and-cooking/article_87665f6f-15fc-5dd6-b6ad-4e10f02c8ce2.html    This article gives a pretty good overview of the rationale and pros and cons of GMO foods.  It describes in some detail how extensive GMO foods are in our food supply today!

Here is my question.  The FDA is probably rigorous in testing each GMO product in detailed animal studies to ascertain that any product is safe for the vast majority of us.  But more and more GMO products are being added to processed foods over time so that almost any processed food now has several genetically modified ingredients such as beet sugar, corn syrup, soy oil, canola oil, or cotton seed oil.  Gradually more fruits and vegetables are being added to the food supply and a company is attempting to put GMO salmon on the market.  In addition, genetically modified corn and alfalfa are fed to cattle.  I'm curious if any studies have been done feeding animals various GMO foods in their diet or does the FDA just test each material in isolation?

When I was a child I relied on my parents to provide me the most nutritious foods available.  I am no longer a child so I take on that responsibility for myself and my family.  I have the right to know if my food has been genetically modified and I have the right to choose whether I or my family eats such food.  I no longer have that right if the ingredients in my food are hidden from me.

Conclusions
Considering the above information, it is a bit harder to completely dismiss those that claim, “The powers that Be”, intend to covertly reduce human population by malevolent means.  Considering what I know I am keeping an open mind.  The links below support the above hypothesis.

Population Reduction 2012 Codex Alimentarius

For several decades the fertility of humans has been declining in the industrialized nations.   No one has proved why fertility overall is declining.  Differing sources blame, propaganda, chemicals, vaccines and or GMO Foods. Infertility to Double in Europe in Next Decade According to BBC Report  http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/4112450.stm
Page 40
Population Control and The National Security Memorandum 200/Kissinger  Speaking of Population Growth Consider the document The National Security Memorandum 200 authored partly by Henry Kissinger.  By 1974 when President Ford signed on to the document over 10 million people in the world were dying of hunger.  The authors felt if nothing was done by 2,000 7 billion would inhabit the globe.  If they could implement some programs then by that time perhaps the growth could be reduce to 6.4 billion.  Implementing drastic plans would cut the growth to 5.9.  At the time officials of many nations thought the control of population growth was the most critical issue of the time if mass starvation, disease and war were to be avoided.  Yet how to get nations of the world to sign on to such a program no one could figure out how to do it.  Never in modern historical times has man ever united to achieve any one goal.  Skimming over most of the document it suggested various voluntary means of controlling growth of population. 
Only two pages discussed involuntary actions that might need to be imposed upon countries because of the urgency of the problem.  Many experts studying the problem claimed in these two pages that it was already too late for voluntary methods to work.  To see the entire document go to http://www.population-security.org/28-APP2.html  
The remarkable thing is that in the year 2000 the population barely reached 6 billion people.  Remember the memorandum stated that if they could implement  the most rigorous programs they could cut the growth to 5.9 billion people by 2000.  My question is how did they almost achieve their goal?  To see some interesting information from the document and get the gist of how various leaders of the world may have pulled this off, go to the article “The U.N. and Population Control Memorandum The National Security Study 200/Henry Kissinger.  It is on page 19 in the link, http://unclesamenterstheendgamepart4.blogspot.com/2011/09/united-nations-in-relationship-to-new.html

This week the American Medical Association (AMA) voted to revise policy, recommending that foods made with genetically modified organisms (GMOs) have mandatory pre-market safety testing.
