'Suicide Seeds' Could Spell Death of Peasant Agriculture, UN Meeting Told
by Haider Rizvi (Published on Thursday, January 26, 2006 by OneWorld.net)

UNITED NATIONS - Groups fighting for the rights of peasant communities are stepping up pressure on governments to ban the use of genetically modified ''suicide seeds'' at UN-sponsored talks on biodiversity in Spain this week…”
“…The group is among organizations urging United Nations experts to recommend that governments adopt tough laws against field testing and selling Terminator technology, which refers to plants that have had their genes altered so that they render sterile seeds at harvest. Because of this trait, some activists call Terminator products ''suicide seeds.''
Developed by multinational agribusinesses and the U.S. government, Terminator has the effect of preventing farmers from saving or replanting seeds from one growing season to the next…”

Can you follow this? The U.S. Government, in conjunction with private Agricultural Companies in this country, such as ConAgra Inc., have developed seeds that self destruct so that the farmer is forced to purchase new seed every year. Can’t just save seed from your crop each year and replant, like humanity has done for the past 14,000 years.

Genetically modified foods, while they may or may not be safe, are in fact a weapon of war. The United States of America is conducting an economic and agricultural war against the rest of humanity. If you don’t do as the U.S. demands, we cut off your supply of food seeds. You will starve, because you no longer have the capacity to harvest your own seeds for next years’ crop. Bend your knee you filthy indigent farmers! How dare your talk back to the omnipotent George and his cabal of fattened capitalists!

I wonder why the rest of the world hasn’t attacked this country more often….
