In a riveting victory against genetically modified creations, a major biotech company known as Syngenta has been criminally charged for denying knowledge that its GM Bt corn actually kills livestock. What's more is not only did the company deny this fact, but they did so in a civil court case that ended back in 2007. The charges were finally issued after a long legal struggle against the mega corp initiated by a German farmer named Gottfried Gloeckner whose dairy cattle died after eating the Bt toxin and coming down with a 'mysterious' illness.
Syngenta and Animal Deaths
Grown on his own farm from 1997 to 2002, the cows on the farm were all being fed exclusively on Syngenta's Bt 176 corn by the year 2000. It was around this time that the mysterious illnesses began to emerge among the cattle population. Syngenta paid Gloeckner 40,000 euros in an effort to silence the farmer, however a civil lawsuit was brought upon the company. Amazingly, 2 cows ate genetically modified maize (now banned in Poland over serious concerns) and died. During the civil lawsuit, however, Syngenta refused to admit that its GM corn was responsible. In fact, they went as far as to claim having no knowledge whatsoever of harm.
The case was dismissed and Gloeckner, the farmer who launched the suit, was left thousands of euros in debt. And that's not all; Gloeckner continued to lose many cows as a result of Syngenta's modified Bt corn. After halting the use of GM feed in 2002, Gloeckner attempted a full investigation with the Robert Koch Institute and Syngenta involved. The data of this investigation is still unavailable to the public, and only examined one cow. In 2009, however, the Gloeckner teamed up with a German action group known as Bündnis Aktion Gen-Klage and to ultimately bring Syngenta to the criminal court.
Using the testimony of another farmer whose cows died after eating Syngenta product, Gloeckner and the team have charged the biotech giant for the death of over 65 cows, withholding knowledge of the death-link, and holding the corporation liable for not registering the cattle deaths. The team is even charging Hans-Theo Jahmann, the German head of Syngenta , personally over the withholding of knowledge.
The charges bring to light just how far large biotechnology companies will go to conceal evidence linking their genetically modified products to serious harm. Monsanto, for example, has even threatened to sue the entire state of Vermont if they attempt to label its genetically modified ingredients. Why are they so afraid of the consumer knowing what they are putting in their mouths?

The World for People who Think
Duck out of the way. Shit is hitting the fan.
But keep your eyes up, forward, and on the ball.

However, I would argue it's not so much that Syngenta, Monsanto, et al, are afraid of the consumer's knowing. It's more like this: "Eat the goddamned food, shut the eff up, get sick [Link]so we and our friends over in Big Pharma can suck even more money out of you to treat your illness [Link], and then when we've thoroughly drained you, just f*cking DIE!" They basically don't give a shit what we think, unless we back it up with our actions (don't buy their dangerous garbage). REFUSE TO BE A HUMAN LAB EXPERIMENT!
Consumer awareness is increasing dramatically [Link], which is a great thing. LOVE IT!
As Niall sums it up so well over here [Link], "Blackwater is basically a front organisation for the CIA. Monsanto is a major Pentagon contractor. So both are working for the same Military-Industrial Complex against the people's interests." And Monsanto already contracts with Blackwater (now Xe) for security purposes.
Since the likes of Monsanto has MIC connections and backing, do you think they're concerning about us crying 'foul'?
The one thing they are concerned about, however, is $$$. If we vote with our money by buying non-GMO'd foods, it affects their bottom line.
The PTB, working through the likes of Monsanto, is aiming to have 100% control over our food supply, folks. Do you think they have our best interests in mind? 100% control = no wiggle room for us (do what they say, or we don't eat + what we eat damages our bodies and DNA).
And then they put out shit like this article here [Link]from their shills like Lester Brown (see my comment over there for further info on Lester) to provide pretentious cover - "oh, our dearly beloved people, don't you see we care so very much about you!" (as if [Link]...).
Let's keep our eyes on the ball: the fake-war-on-terror continues killing people RIGHT NOW; Israel is not only launching air strikes against Syria from Turkish airbases [Link], but it's also ratcheting up against Iran RIGHT NOW [Link]; Russia is conducting its biggest war games since the cold war [Link]; China's naval fleet was recently sighted off the coast of northern Japan for the first time [Link]; US Special Forces are conducting live exercises like this [Link]; and the PTB's corporate giants, like Syngenta and Monsanto, are making tons of money as it all goes down as sheople continue sleepwalking into stores like Walmart to mindlessly buy their health-degrading, DNA-damaging, GMO'd foodstuffs off store shelves RIGHT NOW.
