Vatic Note: Now we know why Gates and Rockfeller built that seed bank way the heck back in the mid 1970's. They knew/planned for this for a long time and the past 20 years was collecting seeds from every single country on the planet for the native flora and fauna. Now, the question is...."Was it because they knew that the twin star was on its way? Or did they plan the destruction of our wild flora and fauna, to ensure our depopulation? OR WAS IT BOTH...."Never let a good crisis go to waste"?
Notice GMO's are banned in Europe and India, but not the USA. What does that say about Americans? Is it that we don't care or is it the social engineering and our dumbed down education system? Why do Europeans, who do not have GMO monsanto frankenfood, and we do, know so uch about it and refuse to produce it?. They have banned it and we have not. Why? Its a mystery to me why we tolerate 1/10th of what we do. It makes me mad because I love corn. Now I can't eat it.
At least I can eat food made in Italy now. I love Italian food, so that is good. Boycotting American food companies that cannot state in writing that they are GMO free is the next step we should take. I have already begun the process of changing my eating habits. Almost every food product has a phone number on the product and I call and ask. They usually say no, they can't guarantee that. I always say "here take my number and call me when you can". lol
Italy to Ban Monsanto GMO Corn with 80% Public Support

A decree has been signed which will ban Monsanto’s MON810 maize, one of the two genetically modified crops currently legally grown in Europe and sold commercially.
The decree is not yet binding as it has to be published in the official gazette, but the public stands behind the three Italian ministers who put forth the document with a resounding 80% against GMO and Monsanto, as evidenced in a public survey.
The agricultural ministry rightfully addressed one of many problems with Monsanto’s GMO crops, stating that they have a ‘negative impact on biodiversity.’ The ban was also signed by the health and environment ministries. That makes three. The ministries stated:
“Our agriculture is based on biodiversity, on quality, and those we must continue to aim for, without games that even from an economic point of view would not make us competitive.”
The three ministries have also notified the European Commission and other states in the EU about this important precedent-setting move to oust Monsanto from the world food supply monopoly that the company is currently trying to browbeat the world with. The ministries have also requested a scientific basis for the final decision from the European Food and Safety Authority – Europe’s version of the FDA, the country’s food safety watch dog.Individual governments in the EU are able to introduce safeguards and recommendations if they feel the food supply is threatened, or there are environmental risks, however, the Commission must verify them and put them into action. Just last year French Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayraul announced that the nation would maintain a key ban on the only remaining GMO currently allowed in Europe - the MON810 maize specifically.
“The protection of Italian distinctiveness must be a policy priority since it determines the existence of ‘Made in Italy’, which is our engine, our future, our leverage to return to growth in the food industry,” Coldiretti’s president, Sergio Marini, said in a statement.Only five members of the European Union grew Monsanto’s MON810 maize last year, according to the International Service for the Acquisition of Agri-biotech Applications. Hopefully with the Commission’s approval of this new ban, Italy will kick Monsanto and all GMO crops out of the country completely going forward.
