a telemarketer broadcasting live from washington d.c. coming up today on the big picture. two thousand and two the top ten drug companies in america made more profits than four hundred ninety of america's wealthiest companies combined helping raise

profits are cancer drugs which in two thousand and five alone rose nearly sixteen percent compared to three percent for other prescriptions. today an average cancer drug prescription costs nearly one thousand six hundred dollars a month. the pharmaceutical industry spends about fourteen percent of their budget on research and development and about thirty one percent for marketing and an illustration. in fact there are more pharmaceutical industry lobbyists in washington d.c. than members of congress. for doing drugs and the united states and the food and drugs and canada are not being a budget. this is a very serious problem this is been the fight that i have fought for now for the last twenty years in canada and together with my colleagues and my union and a lot of other people. as

a result of these three of us i'll timidly were fired by health care that for years they took to build up their spears and ultimately failed us and saying we should everything that america passes a new sink we cannot we are a country that is sovereign country we have to solve the not. none of us refused to conduct their work if this is insubordination to pass drugs of questionable safety or harmful products then of course we want to be in support if that's the way it is let the commune government see that that this is what they're fighting us for the companies pressured to get us fired this where the longer the weird the more time they get to continue doing what they're doing and they have caught at least ten years it may take longer to keep selling the

same stuff and damaging the health of people who make profit on the backs of people's health that was the insubordinate. to him . home to him chemical companies that brought us pesticides chlorine and dioxins have known worked on a new frontier biotechnology. this new technology has been used to transfer genes from one organism to another and has subsequently enabled companies to patent and own the organisms that they genetically modify that means that seeds plants and

even trees which are modified using this technology can be privately owned by corporations for the first time in history. our routes lead their life and much. i want there and i asked for some c. . they said well yeah we got some but they're expensive seat as how much all that a lot got what there was now but they was for a bit over and. i didn't sign an agreement with them they didn't ask me to sign it because somebody asked them brought them back somebody had them bottom and carry them out and brought him back so i got an implant and they said you can you can write classified otop but as i want you know and this i want the end of the planet and then i despise him on top with blast like i don't i don't like

colorado best as most honest. but anyway i say deceit and that was when mossad like on them down you know they say they got a patent on it there's no you can't have a patent was the cause mother nature bottom line so the guy that sold you the cd you forgot how you sign a license and just said here's a new thank you seed and the stage was brought back by somebody else. somebody done signed off on they want to get rid of because they don't want people normal well most not a lawyer but if you have a deposition or they do you really get back to sleep as a star. that i don't never read a back seat because i'm be too busy working on and stuff like it and then trying to keep it running here is the most great that was forward. but i want to most on a represent is that's not my hand right that's

a nice my hand right now after this in my hand right now right here all the way down that's my hand right there is i'm looking you think it cost me five thousand dollars to prove that that was not my man right. and judge wright is simple would not allow this to debate in the court decisions our justice system lately so it's a little aesop's it's just a corrupt cop perfectly. mr alf was fined over two point nine million dollars for cotton infringement in regards to stephen seeds. the district judge mr else case was ready simple a former attorney who worked at the law firm that represents monsanto and who is listed as one of monsanto's attorneys in one thousand nine hundred ninety seven class action lawsuit. from two thousand two thousand and eight rodney said was the judge in eleven cases of which monsanto was the plaintiff or defendant eleven cases

were ruled in monsanto's favor. i found that the original research grants came from the new york foundation and that was the rockefeller foundation and that they had spent over one hundred million dollars of their foundation money to finance scientists around the world will do research to genetically modify some of the basic food seeds of the human food trade and the animals who treat it and the more i researched into this more i found that three maybe four companies if you include the swiss i'm going to but three main companies and one among them was dominant and that's monsanto that these what i call in the book the four horsemen of the apocalypse these private seed companies they were originally chemical companies. stupid ploys within five or ten

years at the rate they were going to dominate the basic seeds and patentable seeds that much power concentrated into four corporate entities three of whom have a decades long track record of fraud deception lying to the public about the dangers of dioxin the dangers and agent orange and the vietnam war and then after and so forth. that really set off the alarm bells for me. i got involved in the give a shit because it was a new technology bringing up its influence on the us still see them as officers. i was the only but this isn't it that she took in four years of trawling. they

were the most signs of a grievous inventor i mean they were all in this group in the greens to the farm the trial work which all told the two hundred sixty all different i mean not just canonical we did spring and winter and i did both a on the farm collector a grouse spring right occasionally when i have to when i have a failure in the winter so i did both of those draws almost on for three years others i did the first year as a winter protocol the over they decided exactly how they are with us at the trial and i. ate a good unsightly loans are realizing this walls up the tension the simpler way to fall therefore it was cheaper therefore we could double benefits that could be seen to be bank of a pal stomach before you use j. for me to grow and if the price of the end product white van ark and stupid g.c. is a after the end of the day i got to make a margin whatever i'm doing as it happens it's because of the technology we were

also finding that the g.m. crops yielded a bit more with a conventional call in the same field with under otherwise similar management because i was doing the. dafter what now thirteen years of crops in the field the theory is that. we'll have we have a herbicide tolerant trait that will reduce the demand for herbicides and we have a beach in a tree that will protect farmers are pretty crap from sometimes some pests that's the theory. even that can't be proven finally at this stage and there's a still a constant battle union yang going on between researchers in the companies does do a show whether or not this really does work or not. we're not seeing increase food production we're not seeing increased benefits to farmers in terms of their production costs we're not seeing improved nutritional qualities in her on her table so there really isn't a clear benefit. everywhere

you go this is seems to be good when we see that we should just have to apply for

grants. to come from the phone companies are. on the campuses the in list students from beginning. can do appears didn't and in what subject and where little they can publish those materials because they're now owned by the companies so it's wherever you go there is this kind of corruption going on this is not science. the people who want to administer the particles are not competent or even qualified or educated in science these are accountants these are voyeurs these are m.b.a.'s is that anything but scientists this room or something to have become part of the uk. what do you think about genetically modified foods and just in general yeah i think

is definitely if but as long as there's a regulation there's been research and everything there's. no research showing that it's not safe for that there's any difference between it and regular not modified food and scholarships they give out skosh oh yeah there's lots yeah lots from it cardio some go. up better than all the different chemical companies and everything like that for sure. so yeah they're getting involved in theirs but if we have. a presence on campus for sure succumbing opinion it is the first time in the history of mankind that we have been able to engineer the genetic inheritance of living beings it would be wise to ask if there are side effects and to check on the vehicle when you insert artificial gene scott anywhere by bombarding an organism the plants general metabolism can be affected and it could be terrible but systemic

and if somebody could prove that it's g m o's are dangerous a really good bit. of course. would be very positive because he would have arguments that the. as long. as nobody has got them and. credit for thinking. there is no reason why did should be. monsanto made p.c.p. is that they were a huge chemical company and they own ninety percent of the biotechnology patents so we took some of us g.m. corn i was part of the commission which was assessing this corn. and we said where are the blood tests firstly protests on rats didn't go beyond three months which was crazy they concealed the results not from the commission but from the public there were affects many others on the commission said no it doesn't matter we said we must at least start over but we didn't so we asked it to be made public

we had to go to a court of appeal. monsanto went before the court to stop the world scientists and the general public from seeing the blood tests on rats who ate their genetically modified corn for only three months. with you can you imagine that. the world's largest company which sells the most herbicide and which sells virtually the most g.m. seeds in the world goes to court to prevent disclosing blood test results of rats who ate their g.m.o. foods for only three months that's crazy. so we published the effects that we had observed there was a forty eight percent increase in fat a ten percent increase in sugar in the females an increase in liver where an increase in body weight. resembled a pre-diabetic symptom the rats urine samples were abnormal particularly in the male rats the rats lost wit and their livers were affected. it

were in the past thirty years there have been no government tests. all the world's drugs are only tested by pharmaceutical companies. the same goes for pesticides. in the late one nine hundred ninety s. patrick to catch her but see that his local organic supplier and seeds turned out to be contaminated with g.m. oath so he filed a complaint to uncover where the contamination originated but in two thousand and one the case was dropped mr pickard school was then contacted by a group of american farmers to join them in a class action lawsuit against monsanto dupont dow chemical astra zeneca and novartis international accusing them of engaging in anti trust activities and failure to test for human health and environmental safety coincidently the judge

was rightly stipple the same judge as in mr ralph's case the case was ruled in favor of the chemical company. which it was in the chain in my field it was a patient and monsanto gene which was sold to me in seeds by as a girl which is a monsanto subsidiary i agreed to take part in a class action lawsuit in the united states so in two thousand i went to washington d.c. to testify and to answer the questions asked by monsanto's lawyers all day they asked questions such as do you know your neighbors names i much tax do you pay and where nothing to do with g.m. seeds. they tended to be eating supper ministry of agriculture recently during which they tried to impose on us a bill for a ministerial order for coexistence determining

a twenty five yard distance between two fields of corn. that means that my neighbor can so g.m. crops twenty five yards away from my field and yes we officially proved in two thousand and six and two thousand and seven plant three hundred yards away was contaminated. maybe there's not much organic corn today. maybe there is someone with five acres of organic corn surrounded by people with five hundred acres of g.m. corn. so he's not important you can just die out that's the situation if you're small you don't matter any make room for those who will feed the world. big farmers and i grew managers will feed the world having poisoned it for years it's unbelievable their objective is obvious they want to sell the seeds in the harbourside with it as the same company makes them both the objectivist deliberate

the farmer or to make an independent it isn't to make a better product for the consumer. pesticides and g.m. owes. what does eating g.m. food do to our d.n.a. chain to our cells and to our children cells we don't know. the past twelve years inevitably modified crops have been grown on a large scale around the world they feed both us and our animals that we haven't observed any problems due to g.m. consumption either direct or indirect. this french farmer is completely self-sufficient along with four hundred fifty million other farmers worldwide he practices are again a poly culture of farming compared to conventional chemical agriculture this type of farming produces soil with three times more earthworms produces eighty percent more yields in developing nations and fruits and vegetables that are up to forty

percent more nutritious studies even show that this type of organic farming could feed today's population in more so why do governments still give the majority of subsidies to conventional chemical farming companies claim we need g.m. crops to feed the world. if this is the case then why in america where g.m. crops have been commercialized the longest are thirty five million americans still food insecure see only experience and few experiment with something without any follow up it's almost criminal off poster can you know because what we're doing isn't very serious your bills coffee it that's what every government has done because biotechnology is their religion they think it will develop so that it will be good law but that's just a belief because of it will be you know it's just like when we were told the earth was flat or you get rather than the reality t.v.

in the family. there's someone from the european union commission that explained it to my wife at the tide they didn't do it it shows why right she does that kathy they say she's professor bought of dogs not professor post they explained it to had that. if if they had repeated the study they found civilizations that week. would be able to hush it up again as once it was bad enough. twice it's almost impossible what i regarded also as the most important thing for other studies is that there is an evil response

and in each case since that whatever the jihad was they looked at the indian status of the animals they always felt that it was jeopardized when we looked at thing rat who had been having a g.m. then the clip that was illuminated and that we wouldn't have expected if the g.m. is substantially equivalent in other words the syrian then the length should be identical but they weren't so roku just tracked the lining was growing it was thick and so we thought this was evidence that there was a growth factor work and if you apply that to a transition lesion in the human for example with the lower end of your sofa goes if you applied a growth factor of. then you might history the development of malignancy at

a little bit of yourself with us and similarly in the stomach thus once again transitioning lesions there which normally will take time to develop into cancer the gut and its immune system regards this as for the material it's almost like an infection it's not an infection but if the immune system just sees something coming in as strange for it and it has to be act through it i just think that. it was highly it is possible to foist on us something that was not properly examined and there we are all baited to be exposed to it that's highly irresponsible well

in fact i would say that it's probably clear to them all but who the hell listens to be monsanto e.s.f. bayer dupont dow chemical syngenta and astra zeneca declined to be interviewed for this film. let. me. play a. play a clip let's. get. her.
