These
genetic scientists
have egregiously abused science
by
already contaminating the gene pool
of every living thing on
this planet.
Collectively, they have been plotting
the takeover of all
genetic material since 1992.
The only
way to stop them
is to take away their keycards and their
containment suits,
immediately escort them out of their
laboratories,
permanently ban them
from any other scientific
research for life,
and then raze the buildings to the
ground.

Genetic Scientists
on track to create a
Genetically Engineered
Doomsday...
Bayer's modified soil microbes could trigger a
genetically engineered doomsday for agriculture.
Is that what
Bayer wants?
If you don't like the toxic pollution from
industrial agriculture's synthetic nitrogen fertilizers and
pesticides,
Bayer and its partner Ginkgo Bioworks have a solution for you.
They say they're going to swap out some of the
old fossil-fuel-based agrochemicals for genetically engineered
microbes...
We're no fan of pesticides and synthetic fertilizers, but
let's not jump from the frying pan into the fire...!
The uncontrolled spread of genetically engineered
microbes could contaminate soil on such a vast scale that it could
be the end of farming!
You don't have to take our word for it, just read
Ginkgo's own
report to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
It's like a sci-fi writer's brainstorm of plots
for a disaster movie:
"The release
of genetically modified organisms or materials, whether
inadvertent or purposeful, into uncontrolled environments could
have unintended consequences...
The
genetically engineered organisms and materials that we develop
may have significantly altered characteristics compared to those
found in the wild, and the full effects of deployment or release
of our genetically engineered organisms and materials into
uncontrolled environments may be unknown.
In particular,
such deployment or release, including an unauthorized release,
could impact the environment or community generally or the
health and safety of our employees, our customers' employees,
and the consumers of our customers' products.
In addition,
if a high profile biosecurity breach or unauthorized release of
a biological agent occurs within our industry, our customers and
potential customers may lose trust in the security of the
laboratory environments in which we produce genetically modified
organisms and materials, even if we are not directly affected.
Any adverse
effect resulting from such a release, by us or others, could
have a material adverse effect on the public acceptance of
products from engineered cells and our business and financial
condition...
We could
synthesize DNA sequences or engage in other activity that
contravenes biosecurity requirements, or regulatory authorities
could promulgate more far-reaching biosecurity requirements that
our standard business practices cannot accommodate, which could
give rise to substantial legal liability, impede our business,
and damage our reputation.
The
Federal Select Agent Program
(FSAP), involves rules administered by the
Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention
(CDC) and the
Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service
that regulate possession, use, and transfer of 'biological select agents and toxins'
[a euphemism for
bioweapons...]
that have the potential to pose a severe threat to public,
animal, or plant health or to animal or plant products...
[W]e could err
in our observance of compliance program requirements in a manner
that leaves us in noncompliance with FSAP or other biosecurity
rules...
Third parties
may use our engineered cells materials, and organisms and
accompanying production processes in ways that could damage our
reputation.
...[W]hile we
have established a biosecurity program... to ensure that third
parties do not obtain our engineered cells or other biomaterials
for malevolent purposes, we cannot guarantee that these
preventative measures will eliminate or reduce the risk of the
domestic and global opportunities for the misuse or negligent
use of our engineered cells materials, and organisms and
production processes..."
Ginkgo's SEC filing makes clear how unleashing
Frankenmicrobes into the environment might wreak havoc, but if that
doesn't do it for you, this
chilling true story from Dr.
Elaine Ingham will.
Watch a short film about it from Protect Nature Now and read the original 1999 scientific
publication
here.

When Dr. Ingham was an associate professor at
Oregon State University, she led a study on a genetically engineered
soil bacterium that changed the course of her career - and
threatened all plant life on Earth.
In the 1990s, a European biotech company (I
haven't been able to figure out which one, but reports identify it
as
German, like Bayer and BASF), was preparing to commercialize a
genetically engineered soil bacterium called
Klebsiella planticola.
In its natural form, K. planticola helps
decompose plant matter.
The genetically modified version was intended to
convert plant waste to alcohol, which could be used for fertilizer
or fuel.
But when Dr. Ingham and her team decided to run
their own test on the alcohol-producing bacterium, they discovered
that it not only killed all of the plants tested, but had the
potential to kill all terrestrial plants.
Her findings ultimately prevented the genetically
altered bacterium from being commercialized, but also brought about
the end of her affiliation with Oregon State University, an
institution funded by the biotech industry...
That Dr. Ingham lost her university job when she
saved the world from a
GMO microbe that could have killed every
plant on the planet tells us everything about the intentions of
biotech behemoths like Bayer.
According to
Friends of the Earth:
"Bayer has
amassed a collection of at least 125,000 wild microbial strains
and in 2019 created an umbrella branch for related products
called
Biologicals by Bayer.
The company
has rapidly expanded their activities in this area via
acquisitions.
Between 2012
and 2014, Bayer acquired three biologicals companies and in 2022
established a strategic partnership with
Ginkgo Bioworks, a
startup company which has received $15 billion in investment to
develop a platform to automate the genetic engineering of
thousands of microbes at once.
Bayer also
acquires and markets individual microbial products from other
companies.
The most
prominent microbial products released by the company to date are
bacteria-based fungicides as well as some plant growth promoting
products."
Bayer has made a pledge to,
"reduce the environmental impact of crop
protection by 30 percent without sacrificing yield and the
health of the harvest" by 2030.
The truth is, Bayer has no plans to reduce its
pesticide sales.
What it's looking to do is create additional
products to stack on top of the ones it already sells.
Bayer is working with the
Bill Gates-backed
Pivot Bio on genetically engineered nitrogen-fixing bacteria.
The promise is that it could cut synthetic fertilizer use, but
there's
no evidence of that.
Pivot isn't letting independent scientists
evaluate their claims.
It's the same story with
Poncho/VOTiVO, a hybrid chemical/biological insecticide product
originally created by Bayer and now sold by BASF.
Instead of marketing the genetically engineered
Bt bacteria VOTiVO as an alternative to the neonicotinoid
insecticide Poncho (which kills bees), they're sold together - and
only together - as a single product.
This way, the companies can up-sell farmers, and
if the product doesn't work as advertised no one knows what's to
blame.
The soil microbe scam is just another in the long
line of empty promises about the potential benefits of genetic
engineering for food and farming:
We've been fed so many
lies about GMOs.
GMOs were going to "feed the world," but
Monsanto (which merged with Bayer and retired its infamous name
in 2018) never came up with any genetically engineered traits
that increased yields.
They just bought up control of all the
high-yielding varieties - that had all been conventionally bred.
GMOs were going to "reduce pesticide use,"
but there's no other reason to genetically engineer crops to be
impervious to pesticides other than to sell more pesticides -
and that's exactly what Monsanto did.
GMOs were "safe," but they were never
safety-tested.
Monsanto avoided Food & Drug Administration
regulation by getting GMOs declared Generally Recognized as Safe
(GRAS).
GMOs were going to "coexist" with organic,
but Monsanto made sure the burden was on non-GMO farmers to
protect themselves from genetic pollution and pesticide drift.
When farmers' seeds got contaminated,
Monsanto successfully claimed the farmers were stealing its GMO
traits.
GMOs were going to make farming more
resilient to climate change, but Monsanto's "drought tolerant"
corn was a
failure.
Bayer claims to care about pollinators, but
it invented the pollinator-poisoning neonicotinoid insecticides
that are killing the birds and the bees - and it refuses to stop
selling them!
Bayer claims to care about farmers, but 11,000
rice farmers had to sue it when
Bayer contaminated rice seeds with unapproved GMO traits,
causing
$1.2 billion in losses.
Bayer eventually paid
$750 million. Farmers still can't grow that rice.
According to a
Greenpeace investigation, the contamination - which involved
three different GMO varieties - impacted rice seeds and 30 percent
of rice supplies, including rice exported to 30 countries.
The contamination was discovered in 2006, but the
rice hadn't been grown since 2001. The unapproved GMO rice was still
being found in Mexican supermarkets in
2010...!
It's hard to believe that any of this is an
accident, especially considering Bayer's history.
Bayer used prisoners in
experiments at Buchenwald and Auschwitz.
Auschwitz was the industrial production headquarters of Bayer and
its parent company
I.G. Farben during World War II, built with slave
labor purchased from the Nazis.
Bayer was the I.G. Farben division that marketed
Zyklon B.
During the war, almost all sales were to the Nazis for
their "gas chamber" genocide.
Monsanto conducted human radiation experiments on unwitting,
uninformed U.S. citizens - from its own employees to the residents
of whole housing projects - while working as a Pentagon contractor.
It ran the chemistry side of the Manhattan
Project and then maintained the U.S. nuclear weapons production
facility known as Mound Laboratories.
When the war was over, the two companies jumped
straight from the Holocaust, and building atomic bombs to kill
Japanese civilians, right into a merger they called MoBay.
That
collaboration resulted in the
Agent Orange toxin the U.S. used in
the Vietnam War.
Bayer is evil...!
From Zyklon B to Agent Orange to
glyphosate-based
herbicides like Roundup to pollinator-poisoning neonics, the
company has done nothing but try to kill us and destroy our
capacity to feed ourselves...!
Why...?
They plan to make money off the transition from
agriculture as we know it to a world where lab-grown and synthetic
"proteins" are the new processed foods.
We must stop its latest plot to destroy our food
system...
