Doctors Name Monsanto’s Larvicide As Cause of Brazilian Microcephaly Outbreak
By Tami Canal On February 10, 2016

A report from the Argentine doctors’ organization, Physicians in the Crop-Sprayed Towns, challenges the theory that the Zika virus epidemic in Brazil is the cause of the increase in the birth defect microcephaly among newborns.

The increase in this birth defect, in which the baby is born with an abnormally small head and often has brain damage, was quickly linked to the Zika virus by the Brazilian Ministry of Health. However, according to the Physicians in the Crop-Sprayed Towns, the Ministry failed to recognise that in the area where most sick people live, a chemical larvicide that produces malformations in mosquitoes was introduced into the drinking water supply in 2014. This poison, Pyriproxyfen, is used in a State-controlled programme aimed at eradicating disease-carrying mosquitoes.

The Physicians added that the Pyriproxyfen is manufactured by Sumitomo Chemical, a Japanese “strategic partner” of Monsanto. Pyriproxyfen is a growth inhibitor of mosquito larvae, which alters the development process from larva to pupa to adult, thus generating malformations in developing mosquitoes and killing or disabling them. It acts as an insect juvenile hormone or juvenoid, and has the effect of inhibiting the development of adult insect characteristics (for example, wings and mature external genitalia) and reproductive development. It is an endocrine disruptor and is teratogenic (causes birth defects), according to the Physicians.

The Physicians commented: “Malformations detected in thousands of children from pregnant women living in areas where the Brazilian state added Pyriproxyfen to drinking water are not a coincidence, even though the Ministry of Health places a direct blame on the Zika virus for this damage.”

They also noted that Zika has traditionally been held to be a relatively benign disease that has never before been associated with birth defects, even in areas where it infects 75% of the population.

Larvicide the most likely culprit in birth defects

Pyriproxyfen is a relatively new introduction to the Brazilian environment; the microcephaly increase is a relatively new phenomenon. So the larvicide seems a plausible causative factor in microcephaly – far more so than GM mosquitoes, which some have blamed for the Zika epidemic and thus for the birth defects. There is no sound evidence to support the notion promoted by some sources that GM mosquitoes can cause Zika, which in turn can cause microcephaly. In fact, out of 404 confirmed microcephaly cases in Brazil, only 17 (4.2%) tested positive for the Zika virus.

Brazilian health experts agree Pyriproxyfen is chief suspect

The Argentine Physicians’ report, which also addresses the Dengue fever epidemic in Brazil, concurs with the findings of a separate report on the Zika outbreak by the Brazilian doctors’ and public health researchers’ organisation, Abrasco.

Abrasco also names Pyriproxyfen as a likely cause of the microcephaly. It condemns the strategy of chemical control of Zika-carrying mosquitoes, which it says is contaminating the environment as well as people and is not decreasing the numbers of mosquitoes. Abrasco suggests that this strategy is in fact driven by the commercial interests of the chemical industry, which it says is deeply integrated into the Latin American ministries of health, as well as the World Health Organization and the Pan American Health Organisation.

Abrasco names the British GM insect company Oxitec as part of the corporate lobby that is distorting the facts about Zika to suit its own profit-making agenda. Oxitec sells GM mosquitoes engineered for sterility and markets them as a disease-combatting product – a strategy condemned by the Argentine Physicians as “a total failure, except for the company supplying mosquitoes”.

Who Owns the Zika Virus?


And who owns the patent on the virus? The Rockefeller Foundation!



Source: http://www.lgcstandards-atcc.org/produc ... es#history

Why has the issue of patent ownership of the Zika virus not been the object of media coverage?

Lest we forget the words of David Rockefeller in an address to a Trilateral Commission meeting in June of 1991:

“We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost 40 years. … It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supernational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries.”

Is the ownership of the Zika Virus by the Rockefeller Foundation part of that agenda of “supernational sovereignty [dominated] by an intellectual elite and world bankers…”?

Of significance, the Zika virus is a commodity which can be purchased online from the ATCC-LGC for 599 euros, with royalties accruing to the Rockefeller Foundation.^

You can find an order form on the site. Sure wish they would stop trying to kill us, gets a little "Nerve" wracking after awhile.!

I find it odd that Zika would just happen in Brazil just before the Olympics? May be that Brazil wouldn't sign on for their trade agreement (TPP)?

Hillary’s agribusiness ties give rise to nickname in Iowa: ‘Bride of Frankenfood’

By S.A. Miller - The Washington Times - Sunday, May 17, 2015

Hillary Rodham Clinton’s ties to agribusiness giant Monsanto, and her advocacy for the industry’s genetically modified crops, have environmentalists in Iowa calling her “Bride of Frankenfood” — putting yet another wrinkle in her presidential campaign’s courtship of liberal activists who are crucial to winning the state’s Democratic caucuses.

The backlash against Mrs. Clinton for her support of genetically modified organisms (GMO), which dominate the corn and soybean crops at the heart of Iowa’s economy, manifested itself at a recent meeting of the Tri-County Democrats, where members gauged support for the former secretary of state.

Hillary Clinton Hires Former Monsanto Lobbyist to Run 2016 Campaign for President.

It’s become well known in the alternative media that the Monsanto Company is more than just a producer of synthetic chemicals and genetically modified seed; it runs far deeper than that.The St. Louis-based company also wields enormous political influence, seen in the success of former executives like Michael Taylor, the current Deputy Commissioner of Foods for the FDA, and Clarence Thomas, a former Monsanto attorney turned Supreme Court Justice who has done has part to protect the company in his current position.When it comes election time, the big “M” figures prominently in several ways, most notably thanks to political insiders like Jerry Crawford, a law and lobbying specialist whose most prominent client was Monsanto.He’s worked on the Clinton, Gore and Kerry campaigns previously and has now he’s all set to work closely with the latest top Democratic candidate (and longtime Monsanto supporter).

Hillary Hires Former Monsanto Lobbyist

The “Ready for Hillary” campaign is in full gear, and now Hillary has help in the form of Crawford, it was announced in 2015 according to this article from Alternet.org, which explains Crawford and Clinton’s deep ties to Monsanto. Crawford will help advise the campaign while helping Hillary make inroads in Iowa in time for the state’s famous caucus.In response, a petition has been started on the site Watchdog.net asking Clinton to replace Crawford because of his Monsanto ties.The Ready for Hillary website features the video seen below; here’s an excerpt:“She’s fierce, she’s funny. She’s focused and she’s a fighter. As a girl who asked questions and challenged limits, as a woman whose lifetime path opened opportunities for others, as an admired, accomplished woman living in the public eye — Hillary Clinton speaks with a powerful and compassionate voice, unwavering and hopeful in her vision of a stronger and better world.”Seen below, the video titled “Her Voice, Her Values, Our Movement” seems completely oblivious to the fact that there is a huge movement against Monsanto in this country and more and more people are demanding organic food.

Oh ,Kbot, that is soooo funny! I have a vision of a monster with millions of mouthes all talking at once off to the sides of themselves!

A liberal commentator on one of the local stations suggested that this was going to be the United State's Holocaust, and it was designed to make sure the country has a severe reduction in humans.

On one side it sounds goofy, and you think what can happen in the U.S. would get to Europe and the rest of the world. But then you consider what Hitler did and it could be plausible.

Well, y0u do kinda get the same thing now in a way - once the clown show from from one state to the next, the message changes to what the audience wants to hear - a coworker said just the the day that he's waiting for the Hillary southern twang to start to make its appearance again as it did in '08 - and he's a Hillary supporter!!!!!!

Hey guys, when did a disease thread turn into yet another Hillary topic? Just saying, as I am just as guilty of it too.
