9:34 am
. to him the same chemical companies the products pesticides chlorine and dioxin 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. all right i'll sleep in the locker much i will appear as for some see. they said well yeah we got some but the image that expensive seat is how much all
9:35 am
that a lot got what it was now but they was quite a bit over and. i didn't silo graeme with them they didn't ask me styling because somebody asked them bottom that somebody had done bottom and get them out and bought a mat. so i'm gonna plant this and you can't leave us because quite glass bottle top but as our. as i want the end of the plant and then i'd it's quite a motor with brass flake i don't i don't like colorado as most of us. but anyway i decided to see and that was where most of the come down you know they said they got a patent on it there's no you can't have a patent i would say cuz mother nature bottom line so the guy that sold me the siege he first had to have you sign a license and just said here's a new vegas eden well the slave was well backed by somebody else
9:36 am
somebody does sound out phone he want to get women because they do want to keep him the most where most not a lawyer where you have a definition or they do you see as a star. that i don't never read a back seat because i'm be too busy working and stuff like it and then trying to keep it running here he's the most great that was full watched but i want to most on a represent it that's not my hand right that's same as my handwriting right there this is in my hand right now right here all day long that's my handwriting is that looking you think it cost me five thousand dollars to prove that that was not my man right and just write a simple would not allow this to be in the court decisions our justice system lately sucks. it's just
9:37 am
a corrupt company perfectly. mr ailes was fined over two point nine million dollars for cotton infringement in regards to saving seats. the district judge mr ailes case was rodney simple 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 he said who 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 to
9:38 am
do research to kinetic we modified some of the basic food seeds and the human food chain and the animal food chain and the more i researched into the some more i found that three maybe four companies if you include the swiss think enter but there are 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 their pocket ups these private seed companies they were originally chemical companies stupid 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 buxom the dangers of agent orange and vietnam war and and after and so forth. that really set off the alarm bells for me.
9:39 am
i got involved in the jail issue because you know it was a new plate knowledge and bringing up a team to these and i still see them as often as. i was the only to support her that she took part in four years of trawling. they were the monsanto to the grave as a gentlemen they were all in this group in the green to the fall of the trial work which all told the two hundred sixty odd different i mean not just cannot if they did spring and winter knowledge of both a 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 almost on for three years
9:40 am
other side did the first year as a winter protocol the over they decided exactly how they were going to set the. eight a good inside me long to realize that these walls a potentially simpler way to fall and therefore it was cheaper therefore we could the benefits that could be simply bad of a pos style movie for movies chiefly made to grow when if the price of the end product had down i could stupid g.c. and after the end of that out got to make a margin whatever i'm doing as it happened is because of the technology we were also finding the g.m. crop yielded a bit more when the collection called in the same field under otherwise similar management because i was doing a little. defter what now thirteen years of crops in the field the theory is that. we have a herbicide tolerant trade that will reduce the demand for her size and we have. a trait that will. protect farmers are pretty crap from some does and some pests
9:41 am
that's the theory. even that can't be proven finally as stage and there's a still a constant battle union yang going on between researchers and the companies does show whether or not this really does work or not. we're not seeing increased food production we're not seeing increased benefits to farmers in terms of their pression costs we're not seeing improved intrusion of qualities in our in our other table so there really isn't a clear benefit. the .
9:42 am
everywhere you go this is seen through good lewiston that you surgeons have to apply for grants. the company. companies are on the the campuses. students from beginning. can do a ph d. and on what subject and whether they can publish those materials because they're not owned by the companies so it's wherever you go there is this kind of corruption going on this is not science. people who want to administer the car are not
9:43 am
competent or even qualified or educated and sides these are accountants these are lawyers these are m.b.a.'s is that anything but scientists this is the most influence or have become part of the uk. what do you think about genetically modified foods and just in general yes i think it's definitely safe but as long as there's 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 a full scholarships they give out skosh oh yeah there's a lot cialis for me it can be on some go. then yeah all the different chemical companies and everything like that for sure. so yeah they're getting
9:44 am
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 when you insert artificial genes and where by bombarding an organism the plants general metabolism can be affected and it could be terrible. if somebody could prove it is g m o's are dangerous and really good. for us. very positive because he would have arguments that there would be. as long. as nobody has the argument. it's better to go home 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
9:45 am
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 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 it to be made public we had to go to a court of appeal monsanto went before the courts to stop the world scientists and the general public from seeing the blood tests on rats they're genetically modified corn for only three months. because you can you imagine. the world's largest company which sells the most herbicide and which sells virtually the most
9:46 am
g.m. seeds in the world goes to court to prevent disclosing blood test results of rats who if they are g m o's 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 with an increase in body which. 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 if. 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 is it's turned out to
9:47 am
be contaminated with jim rose so he filed a complaint to uncover where the contamination originated but in two thousand and one the case was dropped mr pickard who 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 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 ralph's case the case was ruled in favor of the chemical company. there was a. gene in my field it was a paid content 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
9:48 am
d.c. to testify and to answer the questions asked by monsanto's lawyers hold a 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 meetings at the 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 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 by one hundred acres of g.m.
9:49 am
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 in my group managers will feed the world having poisoned it for years it's unbelievable so their objective is obvious they want to sell the seeds and the herbicide with the same company makes them both the objective is to liberate the farmer or to make him independent it isn't to make a better product for the consumer. were the problem is pesticides and g.m. owes what does eating g.m. food do to our d.n.a. chian to ourselves some to our children cells we don't know. for the past twelve years genetically modified crops have been growing on
9:50 am
a large scale around the world they feed both us and our animals we haven't observed any problems due to g.m. consumption either direct or indirect and this french farmer is completely self-sufficient along with four hundred fifty million other farmers worldwide he practices organic poly cultural 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
9:51 am
food insecure. psionics think if you experiment with something without any follow up it's almost criminal offit question cleaning up is what we're doing isn't very serious a move to say you're no school for 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 law but that's just a belief because it would yeah it's just like when we were told the earth was flat or you could rather than the reality of e.g. you're in a handy. someone from the european union commission explained it to my wife at the time they didn't know that she was my right she doesn't carry my name say she's a professor volatile it's not
9:52 am
a professor of history they explained it to had that. if it if they had repeated the study they found syphilis things that we thought. they would be able to hush it up again as once it was bad enough. twice it's sort most impossible what i had regarded or sort as the most important thing studies is that there is and in the response. and in each case since that whatever the jihad was they looked at the indian status of the animals they always found that. when we looked at the rats who were good having a g.m. then the clip that was long distance and that we wouldn't have expected if the g.m.
9:53 am
is substantially equivalent in other words the same then the lengths a should be the identical but they want to open all of the sternal tract the lining was growing it was thick and so we thought this was evidence that there was a group factor at work and if you apply that to a transition lesion in the human for example with the lower end of your sofa because if you apply the growth factor of a higher then you might haste on the development of malignancy of the loom of your sofa glass and similarly in the stomach first once again transitioning lesions there which normally will take time to develop into cancer the gut and its image system the gars this as a four in material it's almost like an infection it's not an infection
9:54 am
but the immune system just sees something coming in as strange for it and it has to react to it i just think that. it was highly irresponsible to foist on us something that was not properly examined and we are all made to be exposed to it as highly it is principle oh in fact i would say that it's probably criminal. but. they have listens to. monsanto yes baier dupont dow chemical and gentile and astra zeneca declined to be interviewed for this film.
