GMO Catastrophe in the USA. A Lesson for the World?
Recently the unelected potentates of the EU Commission in Brussels have sought to override what has repeatedly been shown to be the overwhelming opposition of the European Union population to the spread of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO) in EU agriculture. As well, the Chinese government has indicated it may approve a variety of GMO rice. Before things get too far along, they would do well to take a closer look at the world GMO test lab, the USA. There GMO crops are anything but beneficial. Just the opposite, writes William Engdahl on Globalresearch.ca .
In the night of Saturday, August 14 to Sunday, August 15, sixty Faucheur Volontaires 'neutralized' about 70 GM-vines, that is they stopped these plants from growing by pulling them out. The GM-vines were grown in test plots in the open near Colmar in France.
Amsterdam / Quincy Massachussets, August 6 2010 - The internationally famous Church of Stop Shopping held a service in the centre of Amsterdam.

Shoppers and tourists reacted with disbelief to the spiritual enlightenment on offer during the Friday afternoon rush hour.

Burning patent issues - protest at the European Patent Office in München
On Tuesday the 20th of July patents and patent applications on sunflowers, melons, broccoli, cows and pigs went up in smoke as demonstrators outside the European Patent Office (EPO) in Munich used their truly innovative Patent Burner. Several hundred individuals and representatives of farmers organisations and NGO's from around the world gathered to protest against the EPO and against the patents the EPO are issuing on plants and animals. That day was the start of the hearing by the highest EPO Board of Appeal. Subject of the hearing are controversial patents on conventionally bred broccoli and wrinkled tomatoes.
Procedural tweaks fail to protect public and environment
On 13 July 2010 the European Commission announced proposals to speed up the union’s genetically modified (GM) crop authorisation procedure. Member states are being promised the right to ban GM cultivation if they reduce their opposition during the EU-level authorisation process.

2010 will be a decisive year for the future of GMOs in Europe. New approvals for the cultivation of GMOs and new legislative proposals by the European Commission are pending.
