‘Syngenta methods of silencing GMO opposition are unbelievable’
RT.com ^ | 5-15-2014 | William Engdahl

Posted on 06/18/2014 1:59:57 PM PDT by Renfield

A German farmer has revealed shocking GMO company tactics to silence him in an exclusive interview with RT Op-Edge.

German dairy farmer, Gottfried Glöckner, has told William Engdahl about attempted blackmail, character assassination and, ultimately, wrongful imprisonment he suffered when he refused to back off his charges that the Anglo-Swiss GMO company, Syngenta, had provided him with highly toxic GMO Maize seeds that ruined his prize dairy herd and his land.

After spending two years in prison, Glöckner is traveling round the world to tell the story and warn the public of the extreme danger of GMO seeds....

Yeah, the conspiracy is so deep they’re imprisoning their farmer customers .... The Masons and Bilderbergers must be implicated!

That sounds like dirty pool. Still, two labs only... why not more?

They committed dirty pool by nosing into his divorce dispute.

Gosh, they must have an infinite number of snoops to keep the other millions of farmers quiet.

I don’t have the FOGGIEST what you are attempting to assert here but it smells lame, lame, lame.

The takeaway...
1) don’t grow Bt corn and feed it to your dairy herd.
2) don’t get married.

Doesn't anyone find it suspicious that no other farmers had their herds die like Gloeckner did? Was this guy the only farmer to use this particular product for feed? I don't think so.

I don't know when this interview is from or if the author did any background work, but I thought the courts dismissed the charges against Syngenta for lack of evidence. I believe the labs found botulism in several of the dead cows and more of it in many of the ones still living. They also reported that the hygiene standards on his farm were abysmal, and that the feed he used was rife with toxins, and that these toxins were clearly responsible for many other animal deaths.

This guy is playing the same record one of the Monsanto farmer plaintiffs used when the courts proved he was lying through his teeth. That guy went on a speaking tour attracting the attention and cash of technological illiterates and food Luddites from all over the country. He learned quickly that there is a lot more money to be earned by preaching to adoring fools than there is from working like hell to run a farm.

Are you saying this article is bunk and Syngenta doesn’t have the entire Farming Community by the short hairs?

Oh noes!

Clearly, the anti-GMO folks are running this one farmer as a way of sharpening their axe.

It does not pass the sniff test that a seed supplier would / could go to such great lengths to silence a critic, since if the charge were true, then their customers would all be out of business.

The article sounds like something the leftist Mother Jones would reject because it doesn’t pass the laugh test.

Good gosh. Imprisoned because of a dispute over seeds? Pah!

But Rt.com picked it up.

I wonder who Puti is targeting with this one. Rt is his mouthpiece, by all indications.

Yeah, corn has a habit of scaring the anti-science/food Luddite crowd.

I think we should go back to corn as it was originally designed, you know, by like G-D or Mother Gia, before us uppity humans started messing with it.

Bon Appétit!

LOL. I miss the days when wheat was "all natural" and dropped it's seeds into the dirt so humans couldn't make it into the glycemic poison known as bread. This is all more proof that we've become fat and happy due to the incredible food security we've created, thanks to science and modern food production. And, as such, we now willingly entertain nonsense like what is found in this article.

There is a rude awakening coming, and it is just beginning. The cost of food is only going one way. For many, the answer to this challenge will be less technology and more organic. Heaven help us.
