FDA-created GM health crisis circles the globe
Government officials around the globe have been coerced, infiltrated, and paid off by the agricultural biotech giants.
- In Indonesia, Monsanto gave bribes and questionable payments to at least 140 officials, attempting to get their genetically modified (GM) cotton approved.
- In India, one official tampered with the report on Bt cotton to increase the yield figures to favor Monsanto.
- In Mexico, a senior government official allegedly threatened a University of California professor, implying “We know where your children go to school,” trying to get him not to publish incriminating evidence that would delay GM approvals.
While most industry manipulation and political collusion is more subtle, none was more significant than that found at the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
