And amusingly enough, George Soros and the Heinz Foundation is behind the company that spreads all this crap about GMO crops to scare people. Here's one of the folks behind some of the anti-GMO "studies":
1989 : (ALAR SCARE PART OF FENTON COMMUNICATIONS EFFORT TO FUNNEL MONEY TO THE NRDC -- See ECONUTS, LIBERALS/LEFTISTS , FENTON, WWW) One of Fenton's most publicized achievements was his 1989 attack against the producers of Alar, a preservative used in apples that he erroneously reported as carcinogenic. The misinformation Fenton fed to the news media triggered mass hysteria and caused the apple industry to lose over $200 million in revenue. Later, in a memo uncovered by the Wall Street Journal, Fenton bragged, "We designed [the campaign against Alar] so that revenue would flow back to the Natural Resources Defense Council from the public." The Natural Resources Defense Council was another of Fenton's primary clients. --------This profile [of David Fenton] was adapted from the article titled "Peaceful Tomorrows, Leftists Todays," written by Thomas Ryan and published by FrontPageMagazine.com on March 17, 2004.
DECEMBER 2002 : (WWW PRESS CONFERENCE —See DAVID FENTON, MOVEON.ORG, ) * David Fenton & Fenton Communications, The Heinz Family Foundation, the aforementioned Open Society Institute and Moveon.org :
Win Without War first burst onto the political scene in December 2002, at an international press conference featuring leftist actor Mike Farrell. Although the organization was initiated with a letter signed by over 100 celebrities calling for an end to America’s “imperialist” wars, with the help of David Fenton, the founder of the public relations firm, Fenton Communications, and the rabidly anti-Bush Internet outfit, Moveon.org, the campaign was presented as a non-partisan patchwork of American life. But while Fenton may want Americans to see Win Without War as being “middle of the road,” the sum of its parts paints a vastly different picture.
Fenton Communications is a “socially responsible” PR firm with a penchant for backing Marxist regimes, and Win Without War boasts a number of “progressive” operatives, like the coalition’s director, Tom Andrews, and Clinton employee, Maggie Williams, who use non-profits to front for the Democratic Party line. ....————— “America’s Red Army,” Frontpage Magazine.com ^ | 9/1/04 | Jennifer Verner
