From 2010: #Navajo Commercial Farm Using #GeneticallyModified Seeds, Despite Global Protests

By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, June 16, 2010

"While #IndigenousPeoples protest #Monsanto’s genetically modified seeds around the world, the Navajo Nation’s commercial farm, #NavajoAgriculturalProductsIndustries, continues to use these seeds for commercial crops.

"Haitian farmers are now burning donated Monsanto seeds. In India, thousands of farmers committed suicide after switching from traditional seeds to genetically modified seeds. In Chiapas, Mayan farmers have refused to use the seeds which damaged heritage seed stock. Cross pollination from genetically modified seeds can endanger crops from ancient seed stock in the region.

"#Navajos have long planted century-old corn using traditional #DryFarming. Navajos relied on the stars to know when to plant and sometimes planted in spirals, according to Navajo elders in Rock Point, Arizona.

[...]

"However today the Navajo commercial farm boasts on its website that it plants genetic #HybridCorn seed purchased from '#PioneerSeed Company, #Syngenta Inc., and Monsanto companies." The commercial farm, NAPI, is located on the Navajo Nation near Farmington, N.M., and grows commercial food crops, including corn for potato chips, along with potatoes, wheat and other crops.

"Around the world, #Monsanto and genetically modified seeds have meant death for Indigenous Peoples and their crops."

[...]

"The area of northwest #NewMexico has been known as a 'US Sacrifice Area,' since the 1970s. It is the Navajo people who
have been sacrificed, by way of the US government working in collusion with #corporations and the elected Navajo Nation government.

"While #NAPI continues to use genetically modified seeds on its commercial farm, NAPI also has a #RaytheonMissile manufacturing plant located on the commercial farm where the crops are grown, a fact many would like kept secret. The fact that the Raytheon Missile factory is located on the Navajo farm was censored by Indian Country Today in 2006. At that time, Cuba was expressing interest in purchasing food products from NAPI and Indian Country Today editors demanded
that no research be done on Raytheon's missile plant at the farm or any possible pollutants discharged from Raytheon."

‘A new beginning’: US man who received pig kidney transplant returns home

> Scientists at the hospital partnered with biotechnology company eGenesis to genetically edit the kidney for transplant, a multi-year process that removed harmful pig genes from the organ and inactivated porcine retroviruses that could potentially cause infection.

#Mexico is waiting for the #US to provide evidence that shows imported #geneticallymodified #corn is safe for human consumption. "In a written submission to a panel of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, Mexico, the top buyer of U.S. corn, argued that science proves GM corn and the #herbicide #glyphosate are harmful to human health and its native varieties, and that its decree to ban GM corn for human consumption is within its right," reports Reuters

Researchers disown their own genetically engineered tree

#GM tree currently under #US government risk assessment does not work, says American Chestnut Foundation(TACF)

In a major turnaround, the #TACF has announced it is discontinuing its development of the genetically engineered (#GE, #GM, or #geneticallyModified) American chestnut tree. Release of this GM forest tree in the US would pose a direct threat to the future of endangered American chestnut in #Canada. https://www.gmwatch.org/en/106-news/latest-news/20347-researchers-disown-their-own-genetically-engineered-tree

"While effective in eliminating dangerous #mosquitoes that carry #malaria, #DDT also has a variety of #hazardous effects: Especially among young children, the chemical has been shown to damage the nervous, immune, endocrine, and neurological systems, not to mention its devastating influence on the natural #environment. The spread of DDT across mid-century America is mirrored today by the success of #Monsanto (one of the companies that originally manufactured DDT) in placing its #GeneticallyModified products on store shelves before researchers have a full understanding of their larger ecological impacts."

Surgeons place a #GeneticallyModified pig #kidney into the body of a brain-dead patient. The kidney is still functioning after 32 days.

This is great, awesome, exciting, and even groovy news. But you should still register as an #OrganDonor.

Authorities search discovered a laboratory, nearly 1000 #geneticallymodified mice, unlabelled test tubes and containers full of #biological material and #chemicals. #Pathogens including SARS-CoV-2, #HIV another BSL-3 agents were reportedly found in this illegal lab. Ostensibly the company, Prestige Biotech, was making #COVID tests and other medical products. The lab was moved to this site after a predecessor company, Universal Meditech, Inc. went bankrupt.
