I remember the 60 min. TV show where the man who got appertain to pass the
FDA regulations later became a big shot with the company (same company the
big Monsanto). it is a old game and they know how to play it . hummmm they
always win. . I also remember reading where when the same company was trying
to get the first GMO registered (the one that started all this and open the
flood gates with the GMO they inject in cows) with the USDA a few of the
USDA folks were former Monsanto company men. They seem to know when to send
there big guns in to the fight and stack the deck. . It seems to me they
exchange people quite often. looks to me like they are in bed together. the
suckers don't have a chance to win when the deck is stacked. so whets new.
it is called politics as usual. . So remember we are going up against a
stacked deck and usually the sucker never knows what hit them. so we public
comment and public comment and public comment till we are blue in the face
giving the USDA our best reasoning but its a joke. The whole idea is to
make us think it is a fair game and the public has a say but it is really a
BIG CON. IMHO it's a big con and these folks are the biggest con artists
the world has ever known. so when I hear that some USDA higher up just came
over from Monsanto I guess I feel here we go again. They are taking us for
another ride. What does NGO stand for.
