'MONSANTO HAS DECLARED WAR ON ANOTHER LITTLE GUY'

Question:

– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – it would seem that the energy industry giants are trying to own the sun, and biotech giants are trying to own our souls. Are biotech firms owned by Christian missionaries, or are they just following their pattern of soul terrorism? Perhaps there can be an activism film entitled "Monsanto". If it is a box-office hit, Monsanto could become a household dirty word overnight. - Jai Maharaj in one african language mon means my, and santo means soul. africans learned that missionaries came holding the bible, and then grabbed african land. africans have now got their land back, but they are steal wailing "monsanto".

They need to be chanting "Om Shanti". Jai Maharaj http://www.mantra.com/jai Om Shanti

Response:

you don’t need to cross post back to all the groups jay stevens is trolling. check the headers and you’ll see the groups he actually reads.

Response:

Or whatever you chant when you take a hit of dat fat smoke from da Islands, Jay Mahalo. :Oo=*

Hey, I understand you’re some fat hippie in Hawaii trying to pawn yourself off as some enlightened spiritual type. Maybe there could be a move called "Jai", with John Candy or Jim Belushi in the starring role… LOL!!! – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Forwarded message Posted on Sunday, July 13, 2003 by govegan Monsanto has declared war on another little guy The following information was initially presented by Robert Cohen, sometimes known as the NotMilkMan. Mods: He has encouraged others to share this information, and cares not about the copying (see note at bottom). Monsanto has filed papers in federal court, arguing that milk from cows treated with their genetically engineered bovine growth hormone is no different from untreated milk. That is a lie, of course, and Monsanto knows it. It is well known that the defense industry and the energy industry are deeply involved with this administration through financial contributions and other means. What seems to be less well known is the heavy influence of Monsanto and other biotech giants. Do we have any candidates who are willing and able to stand up to Monsanto, other biotech giants, and big agribusiness? "Monsanto has declared war on another little guy. Monsanto is a big bully, but I’ve got a secret that will bring them to their knees. Their timing was designed to create despair and suffering. Their legal papers were filed on the Thursday before the long July 4th holiday weekend. No time for attorneys to review the complaint. A long Friday, Saturday, and Sunday for Althea, Stanley, and William Bennett, third generation owners of Oakhurst Dairy in Portland, Maine. Their timing is also unfortunate for Monsanto’s stockholders. As biotechnology is being debated around the world, as the European Community considers easing rules regarding genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in American foods, as George Bush blackmails African nations with loss of American dollars in exchange for accepting GMOs, the last thing Monsanto needs is a revelation of the manner of duplicity that I will reveal in today’s column. The Bennett’s crime was to market their milk with this label: "Our Farmers’ Pledge: No Artificial Growth Hormones." http://www2.bostonherald.com/news/local_regional/milk07042003.htm Monsanto has filed papers in federal court, arguing that milk from cows treated with their genetically engineered bovine growth hormone is no different from untreated milk. That is a lie, of course, and Monsanto knows it. I have evidence that Monsanto’s own scientist (Margaret Miller) confirmed the validity of an assay that can determine the difference between genetically engineered milk and normal milk. Scientist Margaret Miller left Monsanto in the middle of the FDA approval process and went to work at FDA where she analyzed her own research, which led to approval. In approving Monsanto’s genetically engineered bovine growth hormone, the Food & Drug Administration determined that there were no differences between "wholesome" milk and the new genetically modified version. The FDA relieved Monsanto from the obligation of developing a test for the new milk, stating that there could be no test because the milks were identical. Of course, this was a lie. Since Miller now worked for FDA, she was aware of the lie. Since she once worked for Monsanto, it is clear that the pharmaceutical giant knew of the lie, too. How do I know this? I filed a Freedom of Information Act request for Miller’s FDA job application. On that document, she boasts of having performed that very test. Talk about smoking guns! I also interviewed the scientist who holds the patent for that test. He confirmed Miller’s complicity. Monsanto hired ex-Surgeon General C. Everett Koop, who stated that the two milks were indistinguishable. After such confirmation from the esteemed Dr. Koop, who needed a second opinion? However, I have uncovered a previously unpublicized secret. I am sharing this with you and Oakhurst Farm so that the truth be known about genetically engineered milk. I am not a popular person in this new America. The United States of Monsanto-land. To the Monsanto government, I am a terrorist for revealing this secret of state. If you doubt who runs things, review this: http://www.notmilk.com/pelican.html The milks are different, Monsanto claims? Cornell University dairy scientist, Vitaly Spitsberg, owns a patent for a method to detect hormonal treatment in animals (US Patent #5,635,401). The unbelievable part of this patent confirms that Cornell University was given grant money by the United States Department of Agriculture in 1992, two years before Monsanto received official approval for the use of recombinant bovine somatotropin (rbST) in dairy cows (Grant #92-27206-779). Who says Monsanto and the U.S. government are not one big happy family? Monsanto plays both sides of the political fence. I have no information as to activities that occur behind closed doors of the oval office, but President Clinton praised Monsanto in his 1998 State of the Union Address. Now to the evidence that will win the case for Oakhurst. The same evidence that is a condemnation of genetic engineering and biotechnology. Nature always finds a way to tame the arrogance of man. One feature of milk is that it is loaded with saturated fat. These fat molecules are not entirely fat. They are actually composed of many different layers. The thin outermost layer is made of protein, and that is the key. While one would assume that genetically engineered milk could be tested by measuring the levels of bovine growth hormone or insulin-like growth factor-I, the new patented test measures an unusual protein in the membrane named "milk fat globule membrane" or MFGM. Keeping this simple, the MFGM contains an unusual protein named mammary derived growth inhibitor, which is a fatty acid-binding protein (MDGI or FABP). The new patented method measures the amounts of these new proteins so that an easy test of milk can determine whether it has been genetically engineered. FDA’s conclusion that the milk was identical is more than a deception. It’s more than a lie. It’s a betrayal to the American public. What I am revealing to you today just adds more evidence that somebody knew the truth a few years before final approval of Monsanto’s genetically engineered bovine growth hormone. I am helping Oakhurst Dairy because it is the right thing to do. If not for Monsanto, I would be developing real estate. Monsanto taught me about genetic engineering and milk. I’ve learned that all milk contains powerful growth hormones. Oakhurst Dairy is careful not to represent that their milk is hormone-free. It is not. If you drink cow’s milk, genetically engineered or otherwise, you will be ingesting powerful steroid and protein growth hormones. Permission is given for you to share this column with other persons or groups. The truth about genetic engineering must be known. The Internet remains our opportunity to level the playing field. I have risked a lot by writing this column. Please do your part in helping to get out the truth." http://www.notmilk.com "Politics is, as it were, the gizzard of society, full of grit and gravel, and the two poliical parties are its two opposite halves,–sometimes split into quarters, it may be, which grind on each other.

it would seem that the energy industry giants are trying to own the sun, and biotech giants are trying to own our souls. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Forwarded message Posted on Sunday, July 13, 2003 by govegan Monsanto has declared war on another little guy The following information was initially presented by Robert Cohen, sometimes known as the NotMilkMan. Mods: He has encouraged others to share this information, and cares not about the copying (see note at bottom). Monsanto has filed papers in federal court, arguing that milk from cows treated with their genetically engineered bovine growth hormone is no different from untreated milk. That is a lie, of course, and Monsanto knows it. It is well known that the defense industry and the energy industry are deeply involved with this administration through financial contributions and other means. What seems to be less well known is the heavy influence of Monsanto and other biotech giants. Do we have any candidates who are willing and able to stand up to Monsanto, other biotech giants, and big agribusiness? "Monsanto has declared war on another little guy. Monsanto is a big bully, but I’ve got a secret that will bring them to their knees. Their timing was designed to create despair and suffering. Their legal papers were filed on the Thursday before the long July 4th holiday weekend. No time for attorneys to review the complaint. A long Friday, Saturday, and Sunday for Althea, Stanley, and William Bennett, third generation owners of Oakhurst Dairy in Portland, Maine. Their timing is also unfortunate for Monsanto’s stockholders. As biotechnology is being debated around the world, as the European Community considers easing rules regarding genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in American foods, as George Bush blackmails African nations with loss of American dollars in exchange for accepting GMOs, the last thing Monsanto needs is a revelation of the manner of duplicity that I will reveal in today’s column. The Bennett’s crime was to market their milk with this label: "Our Farmers’ Pledge: No Artificial Growth Hormones." http://www2.bostonherald.com/news/local_regional/milk07042003.htm Monsanto has filed papers in federal court, arguing that milk from cows treated with their genetically engineered bovine growth hormone is no different from untreated milk. That is a lie, of course, and Monsanto knows it. I have evidence that Monsanto’s own scientist (Margaret Miller) confirmed the validity of an assay that can determine the difference between genetically engineered milk and normal milk. Scientist Margaret Miller left Monsanto in the middle of the FDA approval process and went to work at FDA where she analyzed her own research, which led to approval. In approving Monsanto’s genetically engineered bovine growth hormone, the Food & Drug Administration determined that there were no differences between "wholesome" milk and the new genetically modified version. The FDA relieved Monsanto from the obligation of developing a test for the new milk, stating that there could be no test because the milks were identical. Of course, this was a lie. Since Miller now worked for FDA, she was aware of the lie. Since she once worked for Monsanto, it is clear that the pharmaceutical giant knew of the lie, too. How do I know this? I filed a Freedom of Information Act request for Miller’s FDA job application. On that document, she boasts of having performed that very test. Talk about smoking guns! I also interviewed the scientist who holds the patent for that test. He confirmed Miller’s complicity. Monsanto hired ex-Surgeon General C. Everett Koop, who stated that the two milks were indistinguishable. After such confirmation from the esteemed Dr. Koop, who needed a second opinion? However, I have uncovered a previously unpublicized secret. I am sharing this with you and Oakhurst Farm so that the truth be known about genetically engineered milk. I am not a popular person in this new America. The United States of Monsanto-land. To the Monsanto government, I am a terrorist for revealing this secret of state. If you doubt who runs things, review this: http://www.notmilk.com/pelican.html The milks are different, Monsanto claims? Cornell University dairy scientist, Vitaly Spitsberg, owns a patent for a method to detect hormonal treatment in animals (US Patent #5,635,401). The unbelievable part of this patent confirms that Cornell University was given grant money by the United States Department of Agriculture in 1992, two years before Monsanto received official approval for the use of recombinant bovine somatotropin (rbST) in dairy cows (Grant #92-27206-779). Who says Monsanto and the U.S. government are not one big happy family? Monsanto plays both sides of the political fence. I have no information as to activities that occur behind closed doors of the oval office, but President Clinton praised Monsanto in his 1998 State of the Union Address. Now to the evidence that will win the case for Oakhurst. The same evidence that is a condemnation of genetic engineering and biotechnology. Nature always finds a way to tame the arrogance of man. One feature of milk is that it is loaded with saturated fat. These fat molecules are not entirely fat. They are actually composed of many different layers. The thin outermost layer is made of protein, and that is the key. While one would assume that genetically engineered milk could be tested by measuring the levels of bovine growth hormone or insulin-like growth factor-I, the new patented test measures an unusual protein in the membrane named "milk fat globule membrane" or MFGM. Keeping this simple, the MFGM contains an unusual protein named mammary derived growth inhibitor, which is a fatty acid-binding protein (MDGI or FABP). The new patented method measures the amounts of these new proteins so that an easy test of milk can determine whether it has been genetically engineered. FDA’s conclusion that the milk was identical is more than a deception. It’s more than a lie. It’s a betrayal to the American public. What I am revealing to you today just adds more evidence that somebody knew the truth a few years before final approval of Monsanto’s genetically engineered bovine growth hormone. I am helping Oakhurst Dairy because it is the right thing to do. If not for Monsanto, I would be developing real estate. Monsanto taught me about genetic engineering and milk. I’ve learned that all milk contains powerful growth hormones. Oakhurst Dairy is careful not to represent that their milk is hormone-free. It is not. If you drink cow’s milk, genetically engineered or otherwise, you will be ingesting powerful steroid and protein growth hormones. Permission is given for you to share this column with other persons or groups. The truth about genetic engineering must be known. The Internet remains our opportunity to level the playing field. I have risked a lot by writing this column. Please do your part in helping to get out the truth." http://www.notmilk.com "Politics is, as it were, the gizzard of society, full of grit and gravel, and the two poliical parties are its two opposite halves,–sometimes split into quarters, it may be, which grind on each other. Not only individuals, but states, have thus a confirmed dyspepsia, which expresses itself, you can imagine by what sort of eloquence. Thus our life is not altogether a forgetting, but also, alas! to a great extent, a remembering, of that which we should never have been conscious of, certainly not in our waking hours. Why should we meet, not always as dyspeptics, to tell our bad dreams, but sometimes as eupeptics, to congratulate each other on the ever-glorious morning? I do not make an exorbitant demand, surely."
