siri to tell you if the foods are say. you know you might say i'm talking about blood santo the same covertly that swore p.c.b. were safe and got fired seven hundred million dollars for quietly poisoning the town in anniston alabama next the p.c.b. factory the monsanto the told us all know d.d.t. is safe it's good for us the same company that said agent orange was safe they are in charge of the safety of our food supply as far as i understand the industry doesn't get to choose what tests that is there's a mandated series of criteria they've got to meet the industry doesn't select those . those are mandated by the regulatory agencies you know whether they're reading regulatory agencies or really examining these. to the best mind and they are and they the regulatory agencies i think take their jobs very seriously.
3:30 am
soon after g.m. so i was introduced to the u.k. soil or just sky rocketed by fifty percent my skin break study showed that so many people to react to g.m. soy but don't know. there are many reasons why the g.o.p. soy you know digit i told you that. there's more herbicide residues of the soy. there is no knowledge of that soil which is as much as seven times higher in the g.o.p. compared to the knowledge there's a completely new allergen in the soil that wasn't supposed to be there part of that massive collateral damage when they created the gene the insert where they were doing a legend is there it's suppressed digestive enzymes it maurice that might give us allergies to a wide variety now we're eating that in the meat in the milk in the in all the organs or fed genetically engineered crops it's potential but we're also getting those antibiotics to process from.
3:31 am
the terms of this sentence which is the basis of the u.s. policy claiming bill difference was a lie. documents made public from a lawsuit about forty four thousand of them. showed these words f.d.a. secret documents from the scientists comedy goji they said were terribly dangerous they could create allergies toxins new diseases and nutritional problems they had urged their superiors to require long term safety studies but they were ignored. why the white house had told the f.d.a. promote about technology industry fast track the foods so they recruited baikal taylor one santos former attorney into a new position they created formerly deputy commissioner of policy to be in charge of policy. he sure did this hands off policy
3:32 am
a bit later became once it was vice president so he was the man most responsible for introducing genetically modified foods without any testing or labeling. and he was just appointed by the obama administration is the u.s. food safety czar the f.d.a. president barack obama named former iowa governor tom vilsack as the u.s. secretary of agriculture. and syngenta had previously named a bill sac the biotech industries governor of the year known for ferrying about inman santo's jet support of an effort to genetically engineer dairy cows and successfully eliminating g.m.o. free zones in iowa bill sack is just the latest in a long line of industry cheerleaders lawyers and p.r. professionals who move back and forth between the boardrooms of biotech giants and the public regulatory agencies that are supposed to oversee them despite dr hansen's assertions the safety of genetically modified crops cannot be known
3:33 am
because there has never been a long term independent food safety study of even one single g.m.o. even the data collected by the corporations is kept secret from the public this is the same arrangement that gave rise to claims that as best d.d.t. and cigarettes were safe. the panda owner can determine what those crops can be used for and they have expressively the biotech corporations have expressively forbidden. use or testing these for scientific purposes this from the scientific american under threat of litigation scientists cannot test to see to explore the different conditions under which it thrives or fails they cannot compare seeds from one company against those from another company and perhaps most important. they cannot examine whether the genetically modified
3:34 am
crops lead to unintended environmental side effects at the university of con in france stuck to sarah leni could not abide the legal secrecy and began an independent investigation of the safety claims made by months on top we asked what the other test that's out there on to demonstrate that eight of the round a pretty or rather pretty straight out as what that means eight of the every side or of g.m. so what say. sarah laney and his team sued monsanto to get the raw data from tests the company had conducted on some of its genetically engineered corn after three years of litigation monsanto was forced to hand over their own results we were horrified because we discovered that they are only distant for a few months for the g.m. saw it on my mouse and that the economic system of the mammals out even kept secret
3:35 am
don't compete until by the company's sarah leni spent six months analyzing that data independently of government or industry intervention what he found was that all three g. m o's approved for food and feed were unsafe he published the results in the peer reviewed international journal of biological sciences three knowing if g m o's are safe for people to eat or do we not know that yet well at least we know that they are unsafe only tested and they present signs of toxicity we don't the mary show variants out tested there are actually two around that she is feeling with her on the it is not it is not excluding rhonda they're having side contains a lot more like jose which makes it a lot more toxic geisel said itself the active principle of front up is not herbicide by itself it needs there to chance it needs adjutants it needs other products inside the bottle in order to be really active. also considers most of
3:36 am
genetic engineering is for herbicide resistant it's spring. and that kills all the weeds except killed all the plants except for the crops that were genetically engineered while this life was saved itself can get into the water and this herbicide but not only the but the other chemicals they use there cerf octant and other chemicals in the made of the herbicide which there is a direct link to the decline in v.b. in species in in freshwater ecological systems so we there's a lot of environmental impacts that haven't been adequately adequately addressed and the studies that are coming down are pretty definitive that we need to proceed with caution before proliferating this technology into the open air the waterways are contaminated our bodies are full of contaminants it's
3:37 am
a system based on illness it's not a health producing system. and of course it affects the whole system. i mean that's what organic agriculture is about is the opposite of that it's about creating healthy soils that that are complex and have lots of organisms interacting in a healthy soil which then provide all the nutrients that feed the plant which then provides the nutrients that feed us. we we need nutrients we can't live on you know chips and big sodas. why do you think this country is full of obese and sick people because we have a crappy food system and we're never going to be healthy depending on large monoculture agriculture that's based on chemical application. residues where very toxic outside dose a wound on the plate android to come batteries into their residues authorized in
3:38 am
some g.m. feed in the states to ask in a bit seeing the action of sexual home loans in human cells american academy of environmental medicine this year urged doctors to prescribe not people diets to all patients because they say g.m. was our call so we went. to reproductive problems immune system problems accelerated ageing gastrointestinal disorders dysfunction of insulin regulation and organ damage what would be an ideal time period for a feeding study we are usually giving that during two years to ras which is the whole last of the idea all so that indicates a chronic toxicity that means the anti-life area or the exposure so why doesn't somebody just do a long term study is a design impossible to do. and my friend you have to understand that it costs about
3:39 am
two million euros to do this kind of dream to yours. there are reported incidents of unintentional spread via pollen and seed flow of genetically modified traits and crops from the international world bank study two thousand and eight. drives american foreign policy values are merely interest washington claims it supports democracy as a universal value but makes some glaring exceptions when it suits kitchen shield political purposes and what about the neo conservative agenda is it the genetic code of pax americana.
3:41 am
when the greats stay blind to what is happening in their country. day americans dream is disappearing. the houses with gardens are laid. the poor are left hopeless the streets are full of angry crowns fighting against. the stole the american dream. the mission. couldn't take three days for chargers free. agency three. three stooges free. old free blog video for your media project a free media. dot com. saying.
3:42 am
3:43 am
far of all the claims made by backers of biotechnology the absence of pollen drift is the most specious and demonstrably false pollen bearing bees will travel several miles wind carries pollen hundreds of miles and humans can inadvertently transfer genetically modified pollen across oceans the theft and use of genetic seeds is not uncommon across national boundaries and genes are known to move between species on bacterial and viral vectors one need only watch wind sandia crest above albuquerque new mexico to imagine how far pollen can travel and surmise the vehicle which the planes grasses flowers and trees used to cross the american continent the biotech industry claims the chances of genetic drift at a distance of a few meters drops below one percent using that number it one hundred acre conventional farm within the distance pollen can travel on the wind could have

crops interspersed with over one hundred eighty bushels worth of genetically modified plants that farmer could then be subject to patent file ations and other sanctions in two thousand and eleven university of arkansas researchers found that over eighty percent of wild canola plants in north dakota contain a genetically modified trait some plants had two distinct inseparably introduced traits indicating that contrary to the claims of industry and government scientists g m o's can thrive and spread and interbreed generationally in the wild. traditionally farmers have saved their own seed. and they have developed their own varieties. if those varieties got mixed with patented seed it would be a pattern in and frangela months periodical investigates farmers in soybean growing
3:45 am
regions the company has a staff devoted to enforcing patents and litigating against farmers a big farmer a small farmer a backyard farmer someone who has a chili plant in for in their front porch you know all those people have the risk of being contaminated by this to a clinton or chilling the german biotech company bear has been hit with hundreds of lawsuits charging that their genetically modified rice has contaminated non g.m.o. crops in march of two thousand and eleven a jury awarded a single american rice growing company one hundred thirty six million dollars for harm caused when bears genetically modified rice migrated and contaminated natural crops destroying their export value genetic drift is a problem for gannett farmers because when genetic material from transgenic crops. migrates into organic crops then you can no longer sell those crops as organic and
3:46 am
so you can ruin the livelihoods of organic farmers if your genes escape it. guarantee that the trance genes would could be kept out of their their crops and so they lost all their markets and i lost a lot of money and i know this happened i know this very specifically happened with canal and i know some organic farmers that have told me that if they're genetically engineered we are genetically engineered alfalfa is introduced they're out of business completely because there's no rotation possible anymore for them and i watched all the markets and these are large export markets in january of two thousand and eleven the u.s.
3:47 am
government approved the unrestricted use of genetically modified alfalfa what happens to the traditional farmers who are growing heirloom cheated at if be easer bugs or wind brings a genetically engineered paulina into the native or heirloom field of china and the us it gets contaminated in february of two thousand and ten new mexico state legislators once again refused to protect the mexican's against patent violation lawsuits that could be brought by multinational biotech corporations in the event of unintended gene migration. once the escape out into the environment they can be controlled they can be retrieved and a lot of times in most cases in fact it's an advertisement contamination from some
3:48 am
neighbors genetically engineered crop the has caused the pan violation to begin with monsanto is an effort to enforce licensing agreements and protect its patent rights has dramatically altered american agriculture from the organization for competitive markets two thousand and nine in many countries genetically modified organisms and food products must be labeled on the package right now roughly seventy percent of the products in a typical american. grocery store have some traceable g.m.o. none if any of these products are labeled i very definitely think that g.m.o. should be labeled we should know everything about our food where where it's grown how it's grown what's in it in all the american generals are not labels and they are you're going union hundred and fifty countries around the world decide to do it does he cried your most at least at the borders this is called
3:49 am
a contest or not protocol and biodiversity. one of the most important things we can. label and that's it so that you know what you buy you know if i'm going to if somebody is going to buy it should add it to. crops be green chile tomatoes they should know that. and i think consumers make wise choices if they have access to what about late. i think the public ought to determine what it wants if they'd like to know why not . it's not it's an assault on our culture and you know it's servitude everyone's going to become slaves. you know all of it once it's going to be owned by these
3:50 am
corporations. so this is the beginning of busy controlling the food supply i can tell in the staple cause of many cultures and let's even talk in mexico chile . i happen to think there's a lot of value in the diverse varieties of chili even if we engineer glyphosate resistant big green i'm not going to stop buying the other ones i love stopping at the roadside stand the. i can't i don't know how a company can drive them out of business of the public wants to buy their product this genetic engineering issue is the poster child of what is our relationship is human beings to this earth we're looking at a process of. turning the every natural resource into property. first it was that and then they started looking inside the earth my i
3:51 am
mean you know mineral rights but they couldn't stop there they had to take it to another scale start claiming ownership of genetics of gene strains of life forms it's south in the united states right now there are hundreds perhaps thousands of experimental genetically modified crops with transgenic pharmaceutical traits or pieces of human genetic material or other profitable attributes inserted into their d.n.a. the locations of these crops are secret many are grown in the open air and we have to do agriculture in a different way the balance of a nature natural systems are healthy when they're diverse when there's many organisms interacting and in food webs and and all kinds of complex interactions in which they recycle nutrients among amongst each other we've completely abandoned
3:52 am
that notion of how nature functions and we've decided that we know better that we can clear out the landscape and plant one crop poor lots of chemicals on that crop use all the water resources to support that crop and that somehow about the health care system for everyone it's it can't be healthy system it's it's one of the reasons why. you know we our whole planet is sick right now. you know people are sick. you know the waterways are contaminated our bodies are full of contaminants it's in a system based on illness it's not a health producing system for his part professor sara leni asks only for what has never been done a long term independent food safety study it is a very big fight around the world just because if we impose just knows there are no perfect the millennium or it's there and even if there is no other
3:53 am
society they say that they cannot assess a seed to live a drug because it's not profitable enough seed by sea so then that means that means that if we import just as cheaply it is the same cost for them like to put it driving a pharmacy and it's too much. controlling the seeds is not some abstraction whoever provides the world seeds controls the world's food supply. you load a good literally i'd shoot those millions of genes into a plate of millions of cells hoping that some of those genes will make their way into the d.n.a. of some of those cells now that might seem like a rather imprecise way of inserting foreign material into the nucleus of a natural cell so we're going to illustrate it for you out here. unfortunately in
3:54 am
3:55 am
3:56 am
a crime i did not do. we have numerous cases where police officers lie about polygraph results. innocent people to confess the police officers don't beat people anymore i mean it just doesn't happen really you know in the course of interrogation why because there's been this is like meant no because the psychological techniques are more effective in obtaining confessions than physical abuse and they were often they could get what they wanted they could say what they wanted and there was no evidence of what they did or what they said. we speak your language anything about the law or not of the. news programs and documentaries and spanish more matters to you breaking news a little tonnage of angles the stories. you hear.
3:57 am
the choice all teach spanish find out more visit i to al it all tito it's calm. oh. music is our job the army our destiny these soldiers don't know what real arms look like but it didn't take them a single shots to conquer the world. china and korea try to imitate them america and europe cry bravo absolutely lose it . meanwhile back in russia military artists are losing their grip on the audiences. iloveyou young people especially soldiers they seem to me to differently from. the russian musical army

has been fighting for eighty five years now will it stay in tune with the times and window with a younger audience is up to date or has the time come to give up the fight and defeat. listened out on r t lift. talking about language at all but our lovely react to situations i have read the reports. for the no i will leave them to state park to comment on your latter point. to secure a car is on the docket. thank you no more weasel or. when you made a direct question are you prepared for a change when you run should be ready for a. pretty speech and now the freedom to cast.
