Anti GMO Action Week
GM Trial Destroyed
The group had made various incursions since December 2002. They maintain that GM food farmers are "locked into impossibly tight contracts" and that companies promoting GM crops are simply attempting "to control the entire food production process from seed to plate". In January 2002, Canadian farmers sued Monsanto and Aventis over loss of income caused by GM contaminating their crops.
Although people overwhelmingly oppose the genetic modification of crops, production and use continue to expand for the benefit of corporations. Read a report by Corporate Watch.

Corona virus genetic engineering and the origin of SARS
None of the early reports have acknowledged the large body of reports on the genetic manipulation of Corona viruses in the laboratory nor have they considered the possibility that the unique virus arose as a laboratory accident or purposeful experiment. I have searched out a number of studies on the genetic manipulation of Corona viruses and describe a few such studies below.

June 23-25 Sacramento CA - Resist Corporate Domination Of The World's Food Supply
From the open publishing newswire: The United States Dept. of Agriculture (USDA) and the US State Department have invited Ministers of Trade, Agriculture, and Health from 180 nations to a Ministerial Conference and Expo On Agricultural Science and Technology.
Agriculture is currently one of the most contentious issues inside the
WTO where member countries can't reach an agreement, making the
Sacramento Conference an important destination on the US government's
pre-Cancun WTO itinerary. Sacramento is an equally important destination
for anyone concerned about genetically engineered foods, the rights of
small farmers, the environment and agricultural biotech companies
controlling the world's food supply. It will take place in downtown
Sacramento from June 23-25, 2003. Neither the Conference nor the Expo
is open to the general public. In response to these closed discussions
of our food supply, a broad coalition of community organizations from
Northern California have come together to organize an alternative
convention in the streets of Sacramento. There will be a portland organizing meeting for the Sacramento Agricultural Ministerial mobilization at the NW RAGE office on May 12th at 7pm at 1421 SE Stark St. [ Read More... ]
