Need we say more about the horrors of GMOs? We haven’t even mentioned the rise of the “Supper Weeds” and “Super Bugs” that are learning to resist Round Up. There’s an article you can read about that below. GMOs are a scourge perpetrated on the people of the world by greedy mega corporations that have no concern for the safety of the people eating their products or the safety of the natural ecosystem of our planet.
In September of 2016, Bayer purchased Monsanto for $66 Billion. So you may want to buy your aspirin elsewhere.
Say, “NO” to GMOs:

And a new disease, along with the rise of obesity and other known diseases caused by GMOs, is coming on line. It’s called Morgellons Disease; and it’s characterized by itchy welts that spread over the body depending on the severity of the outbreak. Sometimes these welts exhibit very strange protrusions of unidentified fibers with no biological origins. Victims of Morgellons are discovering that eliminating food they suspect of having GMOs, causes the welts to disappear.
Monsanto was established in 1901 and it’s first product was saccharin. By 1955, Monsanto branched out into the petroleum business and acquired Lion Oil. With this acquisition, it was introduced to the fertilizer business. From there it moved into the agricultural chemical business with one of its leading products, a weed killer called Round Up, which is known worldwide. After numerous law suits claining the manin ingredient, Glyposate, causes cancer, the new Monsnto parent Company, Bayer, finally decided to pull that product from the home gardening market in early August of 2021.
In the 1960’s and 1970’s, Monsanto gained the esteemed reputation of being a leading producer of Agent Orange, which contained the toxic chemical called dioxin. They produced this chemical for the U.S. Military in Vietnam. By the end of that war, “72 million liters of Agent Orange [were sprayed] on over one million Vietnam civilians and over 100,000 U.S. troops. Within ten years of the end of the war, 9,170 veterans had filed claims for disabilities believed to be caused by Agent Orange.”
And then in 1994, as a result no doubt of their sterling reputation, Monsanto’s goal became to produce GMO food for the world. This company realized that they could create GMO seeds that grew plants that were resistant to their weed killer, Round Up. Farmers could buy these GMO seeds and use copious amounts of Round Up to kill their weeds without affecting their plants. Round Up is a Glyphosate. A Glyphosate is a poison, which is extremely deadly for most plants and quite toxic for people especially over time. It not only can get in the human bloodstream; but it can cross the blood barrier and reach our unborn children. A 2012 article published in the Ithaca Journal “cites a study performed on average citizens of Berlin, testing whether or not people with no exposure to agriculture such as lawyers, doctors, and journalists had glyphosate in their systems. Guess what, they did, and had no idea it was in what they had been eating. Not only did they test positive, but they were found with between 5 and 20 times the “acceptable” limit.”
Bayer continues to sell copious amounts of Round Up to farmers. Current Roundup Ready crops include soy, corn, canola, alfalfa, cotton, and sorghum, with wheat under development. Roundup Ready crop seeds have become known as "terminator seeds." This is because the crops now produced from Roundup Ready seeds are sterile. Each year, farmers must purchase the most recent strain of seed from Monsanto. This means that farmers cannot reuse their best seed. These franken seeds have been patented by Monsanto; and any cross pollination onto farmer’s fields who have not purchased Monsanto seeds gets met with high paid Monsanto lawyers filing lawsuits aimed to destroy the hapless farmer who declined to get with the program.
Again from the article, Food is Power: “After Monsanto’s Roundup Ready soybeans were licensed in 1996, ‘a once-productive national family farm-based agriculture system [in Argentina, the first guinea pig nation for GMOs] (was turned into) a neo-feudal state system dominated by a handful of powerful, wealthy owners to exploit for profit’. President Menem went along. In less than a decade, he allowed the nation’s corn, wheat and cattle diversity to be replaced by corporate-controlled monoculture. It was a Faustian sellout, and it helped Monsanto’s stock price hit an all-time high near year end 2007.’Argentina had become the world’s largest uncontrolled experimental laboratory for GMO’ and its people unwitting lab rats.”
The U.S. and it’s people are in even worse shape when it comes to GMOs. From 1996 to 2004, an astonishing 106 million acres of GMO crops were planted. This amounted to a staggering 2/3 of all GMO crops planted worldwide. More than 90% of all corn, cotton and soybeans planted in the U.S.are genetically engineered, according to the Department of Agriculture. Soybeans and Cotton have followed similar trends.
In a mind blowing review, Food is Power, of William Engdahl’s book entitled Seeds of Destruction, Stephen Lendman writes this about the beginnings of GMO plants. Most people believe GMOs started with Monsanto; but that is not the case. “Rockefeller Foundation funding was the Gene Revolution’s catalyst in 1985 with big aims – to learn if GMO plants were commercially feasible and if so spread them everywhere.”
The GMO monster was actually born back in 1973 with the development of essential genetic engineering techniques. GMO manipulation is “based on what’s called recombinant DNA (rDNA), and it works by genetically introducing foreign DNA into plants to create genetically modified organisms, but not without risks. London Institute of Science in Society chief biologist, Dr. Mae-Wan Ho, explained the dangers because the process is imprecise. ‘It is uncontrollable and unreliable, and typically ends up damaging and scrambling the host genome, with entirely unpredictable consequences’ that might unleash a deadly unrecallable “Andromeda Strain.”
But all that mattered to the GMO advocates were potentially huge profits. “One project was to map the rice genome. It launched a 17 year effort to spread GMO rice around the world with Rockefeller Foundation money behind it. It spent millions funding 46 worldwide science labs. It also financed the training of hundreds of graduate students and developed an ‘elite fraternity’ of top scientific researchers at Foundation-backed research institutes. It was a diabolical scheme aiming big – to control the staple food for 2.4 billion people and in the process destroy the biological diversity of over 140,000 developed varieties that can withstand droughts, pests and grow in every imaginable climate.” In other words, the goal of this GMO rice project was to replace all the natural rice that had been developed over hundreds if not thousands of years with GMO rice.
Of course, Asia was the target continent and Engdahl’s book Seeds of Destruction exposes the “Philippines-based Foundation-funded institute (IRRI). “It had a gene bank with ‘every significant rice variety known’ that comprised one-fifth of them all. IRRI let agribusiness giants illegally use the seeds for exclusive patented genetic modification so they could introduce them in markets and dominate them by requiring farmers be licensed and forced to pay annual royalty fees.”
By 2000, twenty-seven years after the 1973 development of essential genetic engineering techniques, a successful “Golden Rice” was developed that was Vitamin A enriched. It’s marketing scam promised the cure of Vitamin A deficiencies; but no one bothered to explain that 20 lbs. of this shyster rice had to be consumed to get the desired result. Quoting again from Stephen Lendman’s article: “Nonetheless, gene revolution backers were ready for their next move: “the consolidation of global control over humankind’s food supply” with a new tool to do it – the World Trade Organization (WTO). Corporate giants wrote its rules favoring them at the expense of developing nations shut out.”
By this time several of the world’s major chemical companies known unaffectionately as Big Chem had gotten wind of the huge monetary windfall possible through GMOs. Monsanto was one of those companies, along with DuPont and Cargill. Below are a series of memorable illustrations by the controversial artist, Dees.

What are GMO’s and where do they come from? The GMO story is a long convoluted one; and we can’t even begin to pretend to cover it all here; but we can give you an overview. GMO stands for Genetically Modified Organisms; and if that isn’t enough to cause you pause, maybe the following will.
According to the Non GMO project, a consumer advocate group working to expose the dangers of GMOs, they “are plants or animals created through the gene splicing techniques of biotechnology (also called genetic engineering, or GE). This experimental technology merges DNA from different species, creating unstable combinations of plant, animal, bacterial and viral genes that cannot occur in nature or in traditional crossbreeding. Virtually all commercial GMOs are engineered to withstand direct application of herbicide and/or to produce an insecticide. Despite biotech industry promises, none of the GMO traits currently on the market offer increased yield, drought tolerance, enhanced nutrition, or any other consumer benefit. Meanwhile, a growing body of evidence connects GMOs with health problems, environmental damage and violation of farmers’ and consumers’ rights.”
In close to 50 countries, including Australia, Japan and all the countries in the European Union, there are significant restrictions or even bans on the production and sale of GMOs. A recent study out of France showing huge tumors growing on rats fed GMO corn for their lifetime, which in the case of the females, is a much shorter one caused both Russia and France to ban GMO corn.
Just examine the above statistics and you won't need to wonder why obesity, diabetes, cancer and infertility are on the rise??? In 2013, the U.S. FDA was actually under the control of an ex-Monsanto Vice President, Michael Taylor, who was appointed our Food Safety (Czar) by President Obama. Under Michael Taylor’s rule you can bet mandatory labeling of GMOs was never instituted but a lot of raw milk producers were raided and even jailed. Guess which area Mr. Taylor oversaw for Monsanto? It was non other than that company’s milk industry products specifically it’s genetically engineered bovine growth hormone, another one of their highly questionable products.
The present FDA Commisioner is Dr. Robert Califf, who was also appointed by Obama in 2015, served to January 20, 2017 and was reappointed by Biden in 2021. "During his previous stint as commissioner, Dr. Califf sought to permit pharmaceutical companies to advertise off-label uses for F.D.A.-approved products, a practice that is not permitted under the strict regulations governing drug advertising." (See StopCancerFund.org) In 2016, during his Confirmation Hearings, Congressman, Manchin, blasted him for 'big pharma ties' and voted against him. So another Obama Big Pharma guy is back and we ask you, do you really think our food is safe? And we're not mentioning the disasterous roll the FDA played in the Covid-19 Pandemic.
Just to make sure you get the whole picture. When GMOs hit the U.S. market, the FDA, under the influence of Monsanto lobbyists, declared them safe and not materially different from non-genetically modified versions of the same crops. There was no outside testing or scientific research required past what Monsanto and the other GMO pushers claim in their in house so called scientific research. These products were unleashed into the U.S. and world market place with no required labeling either. So we don’t really know when we’re eating genetically modified products. Given the sad fact that over 90 percent of corn and 94 percent of soybeans grown in America are genetically modified and many processed and packaged foods have these ingredients in them, you can bet you’re eating GMOs by the mouth full.
Now Monsanto is actually claiming that their GMO seeds are organic because they only splice organic seeds. How long will it take for the NOSB Board to be hijacked by this corporate giant and declare along with Monsanto that GMOs are organic. That will be the death knoll for the USA Certified Organic Label. Recently, Monsanto was purchased by Bayer so now Bayer is the evilest Corporation on the planet. You might want to buy Generic Aspirin.
And apparently, Dr. OZ, the famous televised, supposedly alternative health doctor, Dr. Mehmet Oz, was also drinking the GMO cool aide for a few years until he decided it would be more beneficial to pretend he wants GMOs labeled. In a 2012 article in Time Magazine, Dr. Oz actually stated that those who buy organic are ‘snooty’, ‘elitists’. He then went on to say that GMO foods are the food of the ‘people’--people who want to become obese, get cancer and become infertile.
GMOs are a scourge unleased upon mankind by other men for the sole purpose of profits and control of the most important commodity on Planet Earth, FOOD! There's a famous quote by Kissinger that says the quiet part out loud: "Control oil and you control nations, control food and you control the poeple."
"U.S. strategy deliberately destroyed family farming in the U.S. and abroad and led to 95% of all grain reserves in the world being under the control of six multinaitonational agribusiness corporations." (See shareverything.com)

They may be contaminated with unsavory additives, but they won't be GMOs. Limit all other packaged foods and consider growing your own food in a BioPonic Earth Food Forever™ Farm. Give us a Call at 760-671-3053. We'll show you how.
There isn't a better time to educate ourselves about our Food System than during Food Shortages. Actually it's a bit late, but better than never. Perhaps that's the silver lining behind Food Shortages. It makes people stop to think about their Food System and what they're eating. The question, "Is my Food System Working?" is about to get a resounding "NO"!
This page and the other pages on our Menu above focus on our Food System. They are an enlightening read as we explain the differences between Food grown with Pesticides and Food Grown Organically, with GMO Technology, Hydroponics and Aquaponics.
The final page in this Menu Series introduces our Aquaganic™ Trademark, which redefines pure, organically grown food. This Trademark has been used in the marketplace by our sister company, AquaponicsUSA, to describe food grown using Aquaponics Agra-Tech. The by-line, “Beyond Organic,” describes a Certification that is more demanding than the Organic Certification because “Aquaganic™” products are safer, cleaner and purer than any other products on the market. The following is part of this multi-page explanation of why we are making this claim.
