The shocking minutes relating to President Putin’s meeting this past week with US Secretary of State John Kerry reveal the Russian leaders “extreme outrage” over the Obama regimes continued protection of global seed and plant bio-genetic giants Syngenta and Monsanto in the face of a growing “bee apocalypse” that the Kremlin warns “will most certainly” lead to world war.
According to these minutes, released in the Kremlin today by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment of the Russian Federation (MNRE), Putin was so incensed over the Obama regimes refusal to discuss this grave matter that he refused for three hours to even meet with Kerry, who had traveled to Moscow on a scheduled diplomatic mission, but then relented so as to not cause an even greater rift between these two nations.
At the center of this dispute between Russia and the US, this MNRE report says, is the “undisputed evidence” that a class of neuro-active insecticides chemically related to nicotine, known as neonicotinoids, are destroying our planets bee population, and which if left unchecked could destroy our world’s ability to grow enough food to feed its population.
So grave has this situation become, the MNRE reports, the full European Commission (EC) this past week instituted a two-year precautionary ban (set to begin on 1 December 2013) on these “bee killing” pesticides following the lead of Switzerland, France, Italy, Russia, Slovenia and Ukraine, all of whom had previously banned these most dangerous of genetically altered organisms from being used on the continent.

The dose described in your pull-quote is at least 1000x what bees are being exposed to.
The most intelligent post on this thread.
So many otherwise intelligent people seem afraid of their shadows.
Man has been messing with plants to make them tastier + hardier since day 1. Monsanto is a successful company because it has a bunch of smart people working hard to make crops bountiful. Do they want a retunr on their investment - you betcha. Well go ahead and curse them for that.
The other missing factor in this study (maybe it is in the study) is have the scientist proven that neonicotinoids are in corn pollen/nectar? If it is not in the corn pollen/nectar how are the bees exposed to this toxin?
I love writing like this don’t you.
On 26 March, Obama quietly signed this “Monsanto Protection Act” into law thus ensuring the American people have no recourse against this bio-tech giant as they fall ill by the tens of millions, and many millions will surely end up dying in what this MRNE report calls the greatest agricultural apocalypse in human history as over 90% of feral (wild) bee population in the US has already died out, and up to 80% of domestic bees have died out too.
The whole reason legislation like that is needed is because slip and fall lawyers can sue a company in to oblivion with junk science like the Russian breast cancer study. Even if the company wins in court they will have spent millions of dollars in lawyer fees and court cost. Most often they pay the lawyer and his client to go away.
This is scare reporting and nothing more. If they come up with some real science to back up their claims I will pay attention. Until then I see this as more junk science put out by Watermelon Environmentalist.
Less Lady Bugs and Fire Flies, too.

Hi, EITO, Monsanto - how have you been supplying Monsanto?
I don't know about liberal/conservative but over time I've heard about them, they are liberal/progressives.
At any rate, I don't like Monsanto for the GMO practices. Who knows how many other businesses dump GMO produce on us!
"Destroyed?
By what/whom?"
I saw a Free Republic thread on this this morning. I think there were actually two threads. Don't remember title but if you search for "bees", it should pop up.
Think I'll do the same to see if there are any updates.
Aren't the seeds called "heritage" seeds that are untouched?
Whatever they are called, they are the good, untampered seeds.
I've been meaning to research GMO's for awhile. Now is as good as any time, to get on this!
I sold them coal.
Does not surprise me one bit. When I read about Monsanto and its experiments, its seldom good news. Corn is particularly tampered with.
I read, somewhere, that an African tribe's main crop was corn. The people did not thrive and cattle were very affected by SOMETHING!
An investigation explored GMO seeds, removed those crops and gave untampered corn to the tribe and heritage seeds.
Peoples' heath began to improve significantly and the cattle began to thrive.
Their diet was very corn oriented.
Think I'll get on the "Google Machine" and see what I can find.
That is a sobering thought. <8^[
Normally the clover patch in my yard is literally a buzzing orchestra of bees every spring.
Not this year.
I’ve seen exactly 3 bees this spring so far.
Thanks, ASouthernGrl!
Thanks for reply, Eric in the Ozark.
I've become so suspicious of Monsanto, I even wonder why they need coal!
I remember the "buzzing orchestra" in the clover patch.
Haven't seen any bees this year and I miss the clover patch and buzzing bees...
Did Obama ask for more slack or did he say I'll have more slack after the election.
“...a growing “bee apocalypse” that the Kremlin warns “will most certainly” lead to world war. “
World War Bee...paging Brad Pitt...
No kidding. I should have specifically referred to “gene splicing”. My concern is the short time table for changes. Over centuries of selection bad seed will be detected. Short time periods do not allow much for recognition of “unintended consequences”.
Gee Wizz Bert, do you really not understand the difference, or are you here to deceive those who are ignorant of the difference?
Cross pollination and GMO are light years apart.
Cross pollination works naturally, only producing offspring that obey the rules of biology. GMO on the other hand only produces frankenfood that defies all of the nature of the crops and those that consume them, making a total mockery of biology, and endangering the lives of every living thing on the planet.
>> I wonder if there is a wayback machine we can use to retrieve corn seeds from 200 years ago? Because that’s how long we’ve been “genetically engineering” it. <<
.
That is a total misrepresentation of reality. Cross pollination obeys all the rules of natural biology, and presents no danger to anyone. GMO violates all of the rules, adding genes that are not even from vegetation, and killing thousands of species of insects that are vital to agriculture.
