Ukraine a Vector for GMO Poison’s Spread Through EU
When the Washington Post
chooses to pen an insulting, condescending editorial targeting entire
nations speaking up against Western impropriety, one can just as well
assume the precise opposite of whatever narrative the Post is trying to
push forward is true.
Regarding American biotech companies and their attempts to infest the
planet with genetically modified organisms (GMOs), and in particular
their attempts to corrupt the whole of Europe with their unwanted poison
through a backdoor (Ukraine), has prompted Russia to speak up for their
Eastern European neighbor. Up until the armed coup in 2013-2014, also
known as the “Euromaidan,” Ukraine had adamantly rejected GMOs.
With an obedient client regime
now installed in Kiev, a series of political, economic and military
decisions have been made that have more or less extinguished Ukraine as a
sovereign nation state. Along with its extinguished sovereignty comes a
complete lack of desire for self-preservation, and so, sowing one’s
fields with genetically tainted, unsafe, literal poison goes from being adamantly avoided, to being openly embraced.
This brings us back to the Washington Post and a recent editorial it has published. Titled, “Russia says Western investment in Ukraine’s farms is a plot to take over the world,” it first attempts to make Russia’s accusations that Monsanto is now moving in on Ukraine with plans to institute GMOs nationwide sound unfounded. That is until the Post itself admits that is precisely what Monsanto is doing. The pieces claims:
Ukraine has long tried to sell itself to Europe as the once-and-future breadbasket of the continent, promising that Western investment is the key to making its under-exploited black earth bloom.
But official Russia would like you to know that all this agricultural development talk is really just a secret plot to help companies like Monsanto take over the world.Then the Post openly admits:
Genetically-modified cultivation was long banned in Ukraine – as was the sale of farmland.Then admits:
But the association agreement signed between the European Union and Ukraine last year may have created new space for the potential introduction of genetically-modified crops in Ukraine.Finally, the Post mentions Monsanto:
Monsanto – perhaps the most recognizable corporate name in genetically modified products – did express interest in investing in Ukraine last year. (It’s worth noting that the company operates in Russia as well, though not with GMOs, just as it has operated in Ukraine.)Since Monsanto already operates in Ukraine, what else would it be investing in additionally that it hasn’t had the opportunity to before besides GMOs? Ukraine would serve as the perfect victim to host Monsanto and other biotech corporations’ GMO-infected products in the heart of Europe.
With the EU itself relaxing some of its regulations regarding GMOs, likely without the consent of a population increasingly conscious of the risks and actively seeking organic alternatives, biotech conglomerates hope to make GMO products spread from what will be the completely unregulated fields of Ukraine, into Europe and to become as ubiquitous and unavoidable as they are in America.
Elsewhere around the world,
big-agriculture has attempted to use other backdoors to bring their
products into regions they are wholly rejected, including Asia where “Golden Rice” has been proposed as
the answer to fighting “vitamin A deficiency,” even when simply
planting some carrots would accomplish this goal more easily, cheaper
and without the threat of tainting Asia’s rice crops with a strain
consumers would reject out of hand.
In other instances, conquering Western interests, like in Afghanistan, have used “aid” as a backdoor to bring big-agriculture and GMOs into the region.So by the Post’s own admission and by simply looking at what Monsanto and its counterparts have done all over the world already, they themselves couldn’t agree more with the Russian Federation regarding Monsanto’s obvious intentions in Ukraine and for the rest of Europe.
The Post, like many papers across America and Europe, has long-served the interests of the monied elite, with biotech and big-agriculture counted prominently among them. The Post and others will spin and obfuscate Monsanto’s intentions until it is too late to overturn the genetic corruption their crops will inflict on the once well-protected, sovereign fields of Ukraine.
Like many other things in Ukraine, the so-called “Euromaiden” that was allegedly spurred for freedom and self-determination has clearly stripped Ukraine of both its freedom and its ability to determine what is best for itself. From a military set upon its own people, to an economy looted by foreign interests, to a government directed literally by foreigners who chair it, to now fields to be sown with genetically altered poison, the ruination of Ukraine is nearly complete and a lasting testament to what the West truly means when it says “democratization.”
No One Will Buy GMO-Tainted Crops
Included in Russia’s comments regarding the impending despoilment of Ukraine’s agricultural industry by Monsanto and others, the Post would report:
Russian Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev told a meeting of his counterparts in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization on Tuesday that the West plans to grown “genetically modified crops” in Ukraine. And it’s a fool’s errand too, he suggested, because, “to put it mildly, Europe will not approve of such products.”The Post, in its role as associate lobbyist for big-agriculture, attempts to downplay this fact. However, reported elsewhere, even within the Western media itself, are reports that the agricultural powerhouse that is the United States is now importing organic corn because consumers refuse to eat tainted GMO products grown within the States.
Bloomberg in its report “U.S. Forced to Import Corn as Shoppers Demand Organic Food” would claim:
A growing demand for organics, and the near-total reliance by U.S. farmers on genetically modified corn and soybeans, is driving a surge in imports from other nations where crops largely are free of bioengineering.
Imports such as corn from Romania and soybeans from India are booming, according to an analysis of U.S. trade data released Wednesday by the Organic Trade Association and Pennsylvania State University.The humiliation of a nation historically self-reliant agriculturally having to import something as basic as corn because everything grown domestically is poisoned is a lesson any Ukrainian seeking to preserve what is left of not only their dignity, but their sense of self-preservation should take note of. Even as the “miracle” of GMO evaporates amid an increasingly astute market in the United States, US corporations are buying off Ukraine’s infinitely servile regime to place Ukraine’s neck into the same noose.
However, in a way the Post is
right. Russia is crazy to think Monsanto is taking over the world. The
corporation, despite untold of billions pumped into lobbying,
propaganda, bribes and other forms of mass persuasion, is failing
miserably to convince people to ingest their poison, even in the nation
their headquarters is located in. However, Russia shedding light on what
Monsanto is trying to do in Ukraine, against the obvious best interests
of Ukraine itself, is yet another illustration of how the “Euromaiden”
putsch had nothing to do with freedom, and everything to do with
Washington and Wall Street hijacking yet another nation and its
resources out from under its own people under the guise of “democracy.”
