more news today violence has once again flared up. these are the images the world seeing from the streets of canada. today. the lead.

see. in 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 and research and development and about thirty one percent for marketing and a ministration. in fact there are more pharmaceutical industry lobbyists in washington d.c. and members of congress. food and drugs act and the united states and the food and drugs act 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 years three of us ultimately were hired by health canada four years it took to build up this case and ultimately fired us and saying we should pass everything that america passes a new saying we cannot we are a country with a sovereign country we have to solve the not none of us if used to conduct our work if this 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 canadian government see that that this is what they're fighting us for the companies pressured to get is fired this with the longer the weird the more time they get to continue doing what they're doing. they have got at least

ten years and it may take a 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 . to excuse him chemical companies the products pesticides chlorine and dioxin i've 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 c it's plants and even trees which are modified using this technology can be privately owned by corporations for the first time in history. all right i'll sleep like that much i want there and as for some c. . they said well yeah we got some but them and they're expensive seat as how much salt a lot got what they was now but they was quite a bit over. and. i didn't sylar graeme with them they didn't ask me to style it because somebody asked them about about somebody had done bottom and kill them out and bought a mat so our government plant this is you can use bright glass by the top but as our. as i was at the end of that plant. and then i

describe a movie with a brass flake i don't i don't like colorado best as most honest. but anyway i saved. and that was where most i look on them down you know they said 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 seed peacekeepers i think you have you sign a license you just said here's a new thank you seed and the stage was brought back by somebody else. somebody does sound out on he want to get rid of because he didn't want people normal well most not a lawyer but he gave a deposition or they do you see as a star. that i don't ever rate a back seat because i'm big too busy working on quick and stuff like it and then trying to keep it running here he's the most agreement that was forged

by one of most trying to represent us that's not my hand right. that's a nice my hand right right there this is my hand right now right here all day long that's my hand right does that look anything it cost me five thousand dollars to prove that that was not my man right and judge right is simple would not allow this to be in the genes our justice system clearly sucks a lily sucks it's just a corrupt company. perfectly. mr alf was fined over two point nine million dollars per can infringement in regards to saving seats. the district judge mr ross case was right mr gore a former attorney who worked at a 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 right he said who was the judge in eleven cases of which monsanto was the plaintiff or defendant eleven cases were ruled in one sentence 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 to do research to genetically modify some of the basic food seeds of the human food trade and the animal from check and the more i researched into this the more i found that three maybe four companies if you include the swiss and gunter but three main companies and one among them was dominant and that's monsanto but these what i call in the book the four horsemen of the apocalypse these private seed

companies they were originally chemical companies. stude poised within five or ten years at the rate they were going to dominate the basic seeds and patent those seeds that much power concentrated into four corporate entities three of whom have decades long track record of fraud deception lying to the public about the dangers of dioxin the dangers of agent orange and vietnam war and after and so forth. that really set off the alarm bells for me. i got involved in the g.m. issue because it was a new technology bringing up the changes in the us still see them as often politically. i was the only there to support

her that she took part in four years of trawling. they were the monsanto of the grave us a gentleman they were all in in this group in their greed to the father the trial work which paul told. one hundred sixty all different i mean not just cannot if we did spring and winter nodded both day on the farm collector a gross spring right occasionally when i have to when i have a failure in the winter so i did both of those trials are muslim for three years other side did the first year as a winter protocol the of and they decided exactly how they are with us at the trial and. a given type we long to realize at least walls up intentionally simpler way to fall and therefore it is cheaper therefore we get the benefits could be seen to be bad to be passed on if he is chief or made to grow and if the price of the end product played down i can stoop and g.c.

is after the end of the doubt but to make a margin whatever i'm doing as it happens is because of the technology we were also following the g.m. crop yield a bit more when the collection called in the same field under otherwise similar management because i was doing it all. that's scary what now thirteen years in crops in the field the theory is that. we'll have we have her sights our tree can reduce the demand for her size and we have a beach in the tree that will protect farmers are pretty crap from some does some tests that's the theory. even that can't be proven finally a stage where there's a still a constant battle union yang going on between researchers and the companies as to show whether or not this really does work or not. we're not seeing increase from production we're not seeing increased benefits to farmers in terms of their production costs we're not seeing improved in the traditional qualities in our

inner our table so there really isn't a clear benefit. everywhere

you go this is seen think when we see it is certain to apply for grants. the company. companies are. on the campuses the can list students from complaining who can do appears to me and what subjects and whether they can produce those materials because they're not owned by the us 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 caucus are not competent or even qualified or educated insides these are accountants these are lawyers these are m.b.a.'s is that anything but scientists this enormous influence or have become part of the uk.

what do you think about genetically modified foods and just in general yeah i think it's definitely safe but as long as there's a regulation there's been research and everything there's. no research showing that it's not safe or that there's any difference between it and regular not modified from scholarships they give us caution oh yeah there's a lot see a loss for me it's real sando. better than yeah a little funky chemical companies and everything like that for sure. so yeah they're getting involved in there's definitely have. a presence on campus for sure . it is the first time in the history of mankind that we have been able to engineer the genetic inheritance of living beings a man it would be wise to ask if there are side effects and to check on them because when you insert artificial gene scott anywhere by bombarding an organism

the plants general metabolism can be affected and it could be terrible year for perfect image to complete somebody could prove it's g.m. mozart dangers are really good and good with. the course. would be very positive because he would have arguments that the. yes but as long. as nobody has the argument. it's better to go from thinking. there is no reason why the. monsanto made p.c.p. is that they were huge chemical company and they only ninety percent of the biotechnology patents so we took some of those g.m. corn i was part of the commission which was assessing this corn. and we said where are the blood tests firstly the tests 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 her to be made public that 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 wraps they're genetically modified corn for only three months. because 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. moves for only three months and 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 with an increase in body weight where it 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. 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 go but see that his local organic supplier is it's 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 chemical astra zeneca and novartis international accusing them of engaging in any trust activities and failure to test

for human health and environmental safety coincidently the judge was rightly simple the same judge as in mr ross case by case was ruled in favor of the chemical companies. resent what was said was if there was a latina in my field it was a paid intense 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. i tended to be eating supper ministry of agriculture recently during which they tried to impose on a bill for

a ministerial order for coexistence determining a twenty five yard distance between two fields of corn. that means that my neighbor 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 that land 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 even just dying out that's the situation if you're small you don't matter i 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 herbicide with the same company makes them both the objectivist deliberate the farmer or to make them independent it isn't to make a better product for the consumer. the problem is pesticides and g.m. owes. g.m. food to to our d.n.a. chain to ourselves and to our children cells we don't know. for the past twelve years genetically modified crops have been growing on a large scale around the world they feed both us and our animals we haven't observed any problem student 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 collie 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 and 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 psionics think if you experiment with something without any follow up it's almost criminal past that can and is what we're doing isn't very serious of your bills coffee it yet that's what every government has done because biotechnology is their religion they think it will develop so that it will be goods well 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. here in atlantic. there someone from the european union commission explained it to the wife at the time they did there and it shows my wife she does that they say she's a professor of the it's not a professor of history they explained that you had that. if if they repeated the study they this has civilizations that we. they would be able to hush it up again as once it was bad enough. twice is sort of still possible what i regarded also as the most important thing

for our studies is that there is an elite response and in each case since that whatever the jihad was they looked at the indian status of the course they always felt that it was jeopardized when we looked at the rat who had been having a g.m. in the clip that was illuminated and that we would have expected if the g.m. is substantially equivalent of that was the same then the length should be the identical but he wasn't so open rule at the sternal tracked the lining was growing it was thick and so we thought this was evidence that there was a growth factor work if you apply that to a transition lesion in the human for example with the lower end of your sofa

because if you applied a growth factor of. then you might haste on the development of malignancy and the lure of your sofa goes and similarly in the stomach thus once again transitioning lesions there which i'm normally able to time to develop at the council got at its image system and the guards this as for it material it's almost like an infection it's not an infection but if the immune system just sees something coming good as strange for it and it has to be act through it i just think that. it was highly irresponsible. forced on us something that was not properly examined and we are

all made to be exposed to it that's highly irresponsible or even fact i would say that it's probably clipped them or but who are they hell listens to be monsanto b.s. there they are dupont dow chemical syngenta and astra zeneca declined to be interviewed for this film. let me. play a. player. let. me.
