The text of the TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership) has now been published.

This Globalist treaty will put mega-corporations even further ahead in their efforts to dominate markets and populations.
"The parts of the TPP that cover food safety are especially troubling," states the watchdog Food and Water Watch, "TPP Text Reveals Broad New Powers to Attack Food Safety, Food Labeling Laws":
"'American consumers are pushing to block the use of artificial and
potentially risky processes and ingredients, like antibiotics and GMOs,
but the TPP could trump these democratic efforts to improve our food
supply,' said [Wenonah] Hauter [Food and Water Watch executive
director]... Agribusiness and biotech seed companies can now more easily
use trade rules to challenge countries that ban GMO imports, test for
GMO contamination, do not promptly approve new GMO crops or even require
GMO labeling."
The majority of Monsanto's GMO crops are engineered to withstand huge
amounts of the pesticide Roundup, and the main ingredient in Roundup is
glyphosate, which the World Health Organization now lists as a "probable
carcinogen." As in: cancer.
That's a recent finding.
But what did Monsanto know decades ago?
From GM Watch, November 6; "Monsanto's secret studies reveal glyphosate link to cancer":
"Monsanto has known for almost four decades that glyphosate causes
cancer, according to a new paper by researchers Anthony Samsel and
Stephanie Seneff.
"Samsel is the first independent researcher to examine Monsanto's
secret toxicology studies on glyphosate. He obtained the studies, which
have been denied to other inquirers, via a request to his senator. With
his co-researcher Dr Stephanie Seneff of MIT, he reviewed Monsanto's
data.
"Samsel and Seneff concluded that 'significant evidence of tumours was found during these investigations'.
"However, they add, 'to create doubt and obscure the statistical
significance of inconvenient findings, which may have prevented product
registration', Monsanto introduced irrelevant historical control data
from other experiments. This is data from the control animals in other
unrelated experiments, which may have been carried out under widely
differing conditions.
"This practice had the effect of creating experimental noise which
cancelled out the statistically significant findings of increased
tumours in any one experiment.
"In various cancer experiments, Samsel and Seneff found, Monsanto
introduced spurious data from 3, 5, 7 and even 11 unrelated study
controls to effectively eliminate results, as needed."
Getting the picture?
