Bush made the issue of lifting an 8-year
European Union ban on genetically modified (GM) plants a matter of US national
strategic priority</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.mindfully.org/GE/2005/Geopolitics-GM-Food6mar05.htm">This came only days after the US occupation of Baghdad.

hegemony are on the verge of a control over the global human and animal food
chain never held by any single nation or power</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.mindfully.org/GE/2005/Geopolitics-GM-Food6mar05.htm">The present debate over the nature of biotechnology and genetic modification
of basic food such as maize or soybeans, misses the most essential point. The
conversion of world agriculture by a small elite of biotech companies, most
US-based, has little to do with corporate greed. It has very much to do with
geopolitics and plans of some people to control world population growth over the
coming decades</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.mindfully.org/GE/2005/Geopolitics-GM-Food6mar05.htm"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.mindfully.org/img/19650217-1829-4CF3-A38A-8A19FAFD04D4" alt="terminator seeds - Seeds of Destruction: The Geopolitics of GM Food WILLIAM ENGDAHL / Current Concerns WILLIAM ENGDAHL / Current Concerns (Zurich) n.5, 6mar2005" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.mindfully.org/GE/2005/Geopolitics-GM-Food6mar05.htm">The agency at the center of the GM controversy is the Rockefeller Foundation</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/40A1255B-63DD-46C1-9547-41384D3C40AD/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
