GLYPHOSATE & MONSANTO'S ROUNDUP IS KILLING ALL LIFE ON THIS PLANET!

GLYPHOSATE & MONSANTO'S ROUNDUP HERBICIDE IS KILLING THE SOIL, PLANTS, ANIMALS AND HUMANS!

Over the last several months and years, there has been an avalanche of independent peer-reviewed and published scientific literature and evidence that irrefutably shows and proves that glyphosate (the “active” ingredient in Monsanto's Round Up Ready herbicide used on both GMO crops and conventional crops as a desiccant) is literally killing the soil, crops and plants, livestock, animals, bees, butterflies, birds and other pollinators as well as humans! Please read this report and these articles that provide an overview of the scientific evidence on the human and animal health and environmental hazards of glyphosate/Roundup. 

Glyphosate found in animal feed, human food, soil, water, air and human urine, blood, breastmilk and human embryo!

Glyphosate residues have been found and are present throughout our food supply; over 90% of all processed so-called "food" and drinks in the supermarkets in North America contain GMO ingredients (GM corn, soya, canola, sugar beet, etc.) sprayed with Monsanto's RoundUp herbicide, as well as non-GMO crops such as conventional wheat, grain, peas, beans, lentils, fruits and vegetables, etc. sprayed with glyphosate as a desiccant to kill the plants before harvest! Please read this article by Dr. Thierry Vrain - an expert on genetic engineering and glyphosate - on the widespread presence and dangers of glyphosate and Monsanto's Round Up herbicide in our food supply.

Furthermore, glyphosate and RoundUp have also been found in the soil, in water ( rivers, lakes, streams, ocean, underground water, wells, tap water, in the air and even in rain water. Indeed, according to Paul Capel, author of research published by the US Geological Survey: "Though glyphosate is the mostly widely used herbicide in the world, we know very little about its long term effects to the environment. This study is one of the first to document the consistent occurrence of this chemical in streams, rain and air throughout the growing season." 

Worse, glyphosate has also been found in the urine, blood and in the breastmilk and the embryo of pregnant women in the US! Furthermore (it gets worse), several peer-reviewed and published scientific studies have linked glyphosate to a myriad of chronic human illnesses and diseases such as cancer, infertility, miscarriage, birth deformities, Parkinson's, Alzeimer, dementia, depression, autism, etc. (list not exhaustive) 

WHO: Glyphosate is a "probable human carcinogen..."

Moreover, on March 2015 the World Health Organization (WHO) found and declared that glyphosate can probably cause cancer in humans. Please read this very informative article that explains and provides a background to the WHO glyphosate carcinogen findings as well as this recent article which argues that glyphosate is a human carcinogen.

Futhermore, it was found and revealed that both Monsanto and the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) (US federal regulatory agency) knew over 35 years ago that glyphosate could cause cancer. And yet, the EPA approved the widespread use of glyphosate in the US and Monsanto has sold and applied hundreds of billions of highly toxic and cancer causing pounds of glyphosate and Round Up herbicides throughout the US (and the world) over the last 40 years!

Even the scientific community knew and warned for years that glyphosate was carcinogenic. But the EPA (Environmental POISONING Agency) decided to ignore the scientific evidence and the warnings of scientists and approved and authorized the use of hundreds of billions of pounds of glyphosate and of Monsanto's Round Up herbicides across the US and the world for the last 40 years!

Strong statistical correlation between glyphosate and autism

Furthermore, Dr. Stephanie Senneff – a Ph.D scientist from the MIT -  has been doing research on the toxicity of glyphosate on human health and on the correlation between glyphosate and autism. Tragically Dr. Senneff predicts that at the current level of glyphosate use, “50% of children in the US will have autism by the year 2025”! Please see the graph below on the strong correlation between autism and glyphosate and read the following article. This is truly a Crime Against Humanity!

Last but not least, over 300 scientists, academics, researchers, farmers, etc. from over 12 countries met in Beijing, China in July 2014 at the Food Safety and Sustainable Agriculture Forum to share and discuss the growing scientific literature and evidence of the human, animal and environmental dangers of glyphosate and Round Up Ready herbicides applied on both conventional food crops and GMO crops respectively. Alarmingly, they found and concluded that glyphosate and Round Up herbicides are indeed killing the soil, the crops and plants, the livestock and animals and humans!

Note: China is the largest producer of glyphosate in the world and the largest importer and consumer of GM Soy and GM corn used for both animal feed and human "food," copiously sprayed with glyphosate/Roundup (produced mainly in Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, USA and Canada). Please read this very informative article that explains how China's policies are destroying the planet's environment and poisoning its own people. 

Last but not least, please watch this mind blowing, eye opening, very disturbing and alarming MUST WATCH interview with Dr. Don Huber – a retired US-government Ph.D scientist with over 50 years of research – as he explain how glyphosate and Monsanto's Round Up herbicide is killing the soil, the crops and plants, the livestock, animals, bees and other pollinators as well as humans! 

Regulatory “re-evaluation” and re-approval of glyphosate in the USA, EU and Canada in 2015

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the EU European Food Safety Agency (EFSA) and Health Canada are currently “re-evaluating” glyphosate this year (2015), and they will be re-approving and re-authorizing its use for another 10-15 years. You can read the deceitful scientific fraud and manipulation and the controversy surrounding the re-evaluation of glyphosate in the EU by reading this article as well as this report by Friends of the Earth Europe on the re-evaluation and re-approval of glyphosate in the EU.

However, in spite of the mountain of independent published peer-reviewed scientific literature and evidence on the human, animal and environmental hazards of glyphosate and Monsanto's RoundUp, all the Western regulatory agencies have approved and authorized the widespread use of glyphosate and of Monsanto's Round Up -  both of which have never been independently tested and studied.

In fact, none of the regulatory agencies have ever tested and studied either glyphosate or Monsanto's RoundUp independently, which contains not only glyphosate as its "active" ingredient but also other highly toxic adjuvants which - according to peer-reviewed and published scientific research conducted by professor Gille-Eric Séralini - makes it more toxic than glyphosate alone. You can read Professor Séralini's study (re)published in Environmental Sciences Europe at this link.

However, all the Western regulatory agencies categorically refuse to test Monsanto's RoundUp, and instead simply rubber stamp industry-supplied data and funded studies on glyphosate/Roundup. Furthermore, both Monsanto and the regulatory agencies categorically refuse to provide the public and independent scientists and researchers with the industry data and industry supplied/funded studies they used to "evaluate" and approve the sale and use of glyphosate, RoundUp and other highly toxic, poisonous and lethal herbicides and pesticides.

In fact, the EFSA, the German and the Chinese governments have repeatedly and categorically refused to provide the public and independent scientists with the industry funded studies that they used to "evaluate" and approve glyphosate and Monsanto's RoundUp in the EU in 2002 and in China in 1998 . What are they hiding from independent scientists and from the public...? Monsanto claims that their toxicity studies used by the regulatory agencies are "commercial secrets." Please read this article on the subject as well as this very informative article on the toxicity of Monsanto's RoundUp herbicide used on GMO crops.

Health Canada and EPA approve Dow Chemical's Enlist Duo herbicide and GMO's

Worse, both HealthCanada and the EPA have recently (2013-2014) approved the sale and the use of Dow Chemical's extremely toxic Enlist Duo herbicide and GMO's, which contains not only glyphosate but also 2,4-D, the poisonous and lethal chemical used in Agent Orange during the Vietnam War which killed half a million Vietnamese and left another half a million born with birth defects and crippled for life! Incredibly, the EPA states that Dow's Enlist Duo is " safe for everyone, including infants, the developing fetus, the elderly, and highly exposed groups including agricultural workers. The approved use is safe for the environment including endangered species."
This is truly a Crime Against Humanity!

Although the EPA received more than 400,000 comments and more than half a million Americans as well as several health and environmental organizations, scientists, doctors, etc. petitioned the EPA to refuse the approval of Dow's highly toxic Enlist Duo herbicide, the EPA still approved it! The Centre for Food Safety in the US has recently filed another lawsuit against the EPA for approving Dow's Enlist Duo in the US.

PMRA/Health Canada's approval of Dow's Enlist Duo/2,4-D

In spite of the mountain of peer-reviewed and published scientific studies and the overwhelming empirical evidence on the toxicity of 2,4-D on both human health and the environment, PMRA/Health Canada has also incredibly and tragically approved the sale and the use of Dow's Enlist Duo herbicide and GMO's in 2013. In fact Canada is the first country in the world to have approved Dow's Enlist Duo, to be copiously sprayed on both GMO so-called "food" crops and in our environment.

In fact, PMRA/Health Canada have tragically rubber stamped and approved Dow's highly toxic Duo

Enlist herbicide to be sprayed on GM crops in Canada to combat “superweeds” that have unsurprisingly, naturally and predictably become resistant to glyphosate/Roundup herbicides, and will therefore inevitably contaminate and end up in our unlabelled GMO-infested toxic so-called “food” supply, in our soil, water, air, environment and in our bodies!

Breaking News update (30 May): WHO/IARC to review toxicity of 2,4-D...

Interestingly, a recently published article reveals that the WHO/IARC will also analyze the peer reviewed and published scientific literature on the human and animal health and environmental toxicity of 2,4-D during their meeting to be held next week (02 June) in Lyon, France. “I do think they are going to upgrade 2,4-D” Michael Hansen, a senior scientist at Consumers Union and consultant to the WHO told Reuters.“ There is just as strong, or even a stronger case [for links to cancer], on 2,4-D than there was for glyphosate.”

Breaking news (22 June): The WHO/IARC has finally declared and classified 2,4-D as a possible human carcinogen. This is very significant since both Health Canada and the US EPA have granted regulatory approval in 2013-2014 for Dow's Enlist Duo herbicide/GMO's which contains not only glyphosate but 2,4-D! This puts a nail in the coffin of Dow's Enlist Duo and its 2,4-D tolerant GMO crops!

Superweeds & the toxic pesticide treadmill...

Weeds have naturally and predictably developed resistance to both glyphosate and Roundup. As a result, “farmers” have to spray a cocktail of more and more toxic herbicides – including 2,4-D - to combat weed resistance, further exponentially increasing the use of toxic herbicides on our “food” crops and in the environment, leading to further human and animal poisoning and widespread environmental destruction.

Incredibly, PMRA/Health Canada has entirely ignored the issue of weed resistance in its re-evaluation of glyphosate. In fact, there is no mention of glyphosate-resistant weeds anywhere in the Environmental Considerations of the PMRA's Proposed Re-evaluation decision for glyphosate.

Glyphosate-resistant weeds in Canada. 

A report published this week by the Canadian Biotechnology Action Network (CBAN) reveals that

“ there are five species of glyphosate-resistant weeds now found in Canada. An online survey of

farmers in 2013 estimated that more than one million acres of Canadian farmland had glyphosateresistant weeds growing on them.” Also see the following links for a list of glyphosate-resistant weeds in Canada and across the world.

Even Monsanto’s technical development manager, Rick Cole, publicly recognized the problem of weed resistance to glyphosate/Roundup: " The problem of weeds that have developed a resistance to
Roundup crops is real and [Monsanto] doesn’t deny that, however the problem is manageable” he
said.

“Solution” offered by Monsanto: Use a cocktail of more toxic herbicides…

According to Monsanto press releases, company sales representatives are encouraging farmers to mix
glyphosate and older highly toxic herbicides such as 2,4-D - which is banned in Sweden, Denmark and Norway over its links to cancer, reproductive harm and mental impairment - to combat weeds
resistance to glyphosate/Roundup, which will further exacerbate the problem of weed resistance,
further poison and destroy the environment and further poison us...

As Einstein rightly said: "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting

different results"

Several countries have banned glyphosate and Monsanto's RoundUp 

Several countries have already banned glyphosate and Monsanto's RoundUp: Denmark banned RoundUp in 2003 after it found that it contamined its drinking groundwater supply; the Netherlands has banned all (non-commercial) glyphosate use citing health hazards; Sri Lanka and El Salvador banned it in 2013 following an epidemic of kidney disease and failure among its agricultural workers; Brazil has recently filed a lawsuit to ban both glyphosate and RoundUp sprayed on GMO crops; and Russia has prohibited all importation and cultivation of GMO's.

Glyphosate is everywhere in our environment 

What is important to note and to understand is that glyphosate - the "active" ingredient in Monsanto's RoundUp Ready herbicide sprayed on GMO crops - is widely found, sold and used in hundreds of other weed killers and widely used on private and public lawns, parks, schools, golf gorses, railway tracks, etc. and other public areas. Thus we are not only exposed to it through residues in our food supply, water, etc. but also in our daily outdoor activities. It is truly everywhere in our environment and we are all literally eating it, drinking it and breathing it everyday! 

Health Canada favorably "re-evaluates" and re-approves glyphosate 

Tragically, Health Canada has favorably “re-evaluated” and re-approved glyphosate on 13 April 2015, based exclusively on biased and deeply flawed industry-supplied and/or funded studies, while entirely ignoring the mountain of independent peer-reviewed and published scientific literature and evidence on the human, animal health and environmental hazards of glyphosate and Monsanto's Roundup.

Here is a statement published on Health Canada's website regarding their "re-evaluation" of glyphosate: "After a re-evaluation of the herbicide glyphosate, Health Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA), is proposing continued registration of products containing glyphosate for sale and use in Canada. An evaluation of available scientific information found that products containing glyphosate do not present unacceptable risks to human health or the environment when used according to the proposed label directions."

However, the PMRA/Health Canada have never independently tested either glyphosate and/or Monsanto's Roundup, which contains not only glyphosate as its "active" ingredient, but also other highly toxic adjuvants which together - according to peer-reviewed published scientific research - makes it even more toxic than glyphosate alone. In fact, according to a recently published landmark scientific study titled “Major pesticides are more toxic to human cells than their declared active principles,” Monsanto's RoundUp was found to be 125 times more toxic than its "active" ingredient glyphosate. 

In fact, in my recent correspondence with both Rona Ambrose - the Canadian Health Minister - and Richard Aucoin - the Executive Director of the PMRA - regarding PMRA/Health Canada's re-evaluation of glyphosate, Mr Richard Aucoin has himself admitted and written in response to my letter of inquiry that “ PMRA does not conduct animal or environmental toxicity studies for pesticide active ingredient or products.” 

Furthermore, PMRA/Health Canada simply "analyze" "secret" and "confidential" industry supplied data and rubber stamp industry supplied and/or funded studies which have not been peer-reviewed and published in scientific journals. In fact, Mr. Richard Aucoin himself admits and writes in his letter in response to my inquiry on the subject that “these studies are conducted either by the applicants or by industry-sponsored independent third party laboratories [...], “that this raw data is not provided in peer-reviewed scientific publication” and that “the decision to publish these studies is that of industry.” 

Is there not a flagrant conflict of interest and gross scientific bias in reviewing industry supplied "secret" data and/or funded studies that have not been peer-reviewed and published in scientific journals ? And can there be any scientific integrity with such flawed and bias methodology and any scientific validity with the findings and conclusions of such bias studies ? 

Furthermore, PMRA/Health Canada have totally ignored and dismissed the credible and alarming conclusion of the IARC scientific study which found and declared that glyphosate was a probable human carcinogen. Health Canada states that " The World Health Organization's (WHO) International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) recently assigned a hazard classification for glyphosate as "probably carcinogenic to humans". It is important to note that a hazard classification is not a health risk assessment. The level of human exposure, which determines the actual risk, was not taken into account by WHO (IARC). Pesticides are registered for use in Canada only if the level of exposure to Canadians does not cause any harmful effects, including cancer."  Source: http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/cps-spc/pest/part/consultations/_prvd2015-01/prvd2015-01-eng.php#a4 

Is there truly any "safe" level of human exposure for a highly toxic chemical/product that is found to be a probable human carcinogen by the world authority on cancer...? Furthermore, traditional toxicology erroneously believes that " the dose makes the poison." However, scientific evidence now reveals that this statement is, in many cases, inaccurate and quite often the opposite is true (please read the study below).

Glyphosate Risk Assessment: Health hazard vs health ris

1) “The dose makes the poison”

The health hazards vs health risks assessment used by Health Canada/PMRA (and all regulatory agencies) is scientifically flawed and invalid because Health Canada erroneously believes and argues that the “dose makes the poison.” In fact toxicology peer reviewed and published scientific research and evidence (please see copy below) has shown that this belief is in many cases inaccurate and quite often the opposite is true (i.e. linear vs nonmonotonic dose-response curves)

Please read the box below and the following study. 

2) Active Principle (glyphosate) vs Formulation/product (Roundup)

Health Canada (and all regulatory agencies) only reviews the toxicity of the Active Principle alone (i.e. glyphosate) and not the whole product formulation (i.e Roundup) which contains other highly toxic and synergistic “secret” adjuvants.

However, peer reviewed published studies (see copy below) have found Roundup and other pesticide formulation to be 125 to over 1000 times more toxic respectively than their declared Active Principle. The authors of the study alarmingly found and write: “We tested the toxicity of 9 pesticides, comparing active principles and their formulations, on three human cell lines[...] Despite its relatively benign reputation, Roundup was among the most toxic herbicides and insecticides tested. Most importantly, 8 formulations out of 9 were up to one thousand times more toxic than their active principles. Our results challenge the relevance of the acceptable daily intake for pesticides because this norm is calculated from the toxicity of the active principle alone. Chronic tests on pesticides may not reflect relevant environmental exposures if only one ingredient of these mixtures is tested alone.” Please read the following study. 

3) Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI)

Health Canada/PMRA (and all regulatory agencies) determines and sets the ADI (i.e. allowed residue levels of pesticides on our food, water, etc.) based exclusively on the Active Principle alone (i.e. glyphosate) and not on the product formulation (i.e. Roundup.) However, the actual product that is approved by Health Canada and used copiously on our food supply, soil, water, air and environment is not only glyphosate (AP) but the whole product formulation (i.e. Roundup.)

In view of the above, I think that it is fair to conclude that both the Risk Assessment and the ADI set by Health Canada/PMRA (and all regulatory agencies) are scientifically flawed and extremely dangerous to both our health and our lives since they literally poison us with high doses of extremely toxic chemical formulations copiously sprayed on our food supply, soil, water, air and environment (i.e. Monsanto's Roundup, Dow's Enlist Duo, etc.)

Please also read this recently published study on the toxicity of glyphosate and Roundup below regulatory levels.  

Last but not least, Dr. Anthony Samsel recently obtained and analyzed the "secret" "confidential" data submitted by Monsanto to the US EPA in the late 1970's for the approval of glyphosate in the US and alarmingly found that "glyphosate has an inverse dose-toxicity relationship." 
Worse, Dr. Anthony Samsel found that both Monsanto and the EPA knew OVER 40 YEARS AGO that glyphosate/Roundup caused cancer and other chronic and deadly diseases in both animals and humans; however, Monsanto falsified and hid its own toxicological data and the EPA rubber-stamped and approved the sale and the use of cancer-causing glyphosate/Roundup in the US and around the world for the last 40 years! Please read this alarming investigative article as well as this article. Both Monsanto and the EPA MUST be sued and tried for Crimes Against Humanity and ALL Life on this planet!   

Dr. Thierry Vrain – an expert in genetic engineering and a retired scientist who worked for Agriculture Canada as Head of Biotechnology for over 30 years – asked to meet with the Canadian Minister of Health – Rona Ambrose - long before the re-evaluation process; he wrote a letter both to Rona Ambrose and to Health Canada to provide them with the peer-reviewed and published scientific literature and evidence of the last five to ten years documenting the human, animal and the environmental hazards of glyphosate and Roundup for Health Canada to analyse during the “re-evaluation” process of glyphosate. However, Rona Ambrose refused to meet with Dr. Vrain.

Please watch this very informative (and frightening) lecture by Dr. Thierry Vrain on the human health toxicity of glyphosate/Monsanto's RoundUp herbicide, backed by published peer-reviewed scientific studies. You can also listen to this very informative interview with Dr. Thierry Vrain on the human health and environmental hazards of glyphosate.

Rachel Parent - a young Canadian activist lobbying in favor of GMO labeling in Canada - has also recently met with the Canadian Health Minister (after waiting for more than a year) and with Health Canada officials to discuss the issue of GMO labeling and food safety in Canada. You can read her reflections and notes on her meetings with both the Canadian Health Minister and Health Canada officials published here and you can also follow her work on her website.      

Tragically, but unsurprisingly, PMRA/Health Canada have decided to re-approve and to re-authorize both the use and the sale of glyphosate and of Monsanto's Round Up Ready herbicide, in spite of the mountain of independent peer-reviewed and published scientific literature and documented evidence of the human and animal health and environmental hazards of glyphosate! You can read Health Canada's “re-evaluation” and approval decision on their website.

Both Rona Ambrose/Health Canada and Richard Aucoin/PMRA have a public mandate and a legal obligation and responsibility to make sure that the food Canadians eat, the water they drink and the air they breathe is safe for human consumption and for their health and to protect our environment. However, glyphosate and Monsanto's RoundUp are now ubiquitous in our food supply, soil, water, air, environment and bodies, which puts the health of millions of Canadians at serious risk of a myriad of chronic diseases and the lives of millions of Canadians at grave danger of premature death.

I have written to both Rona Ambrose and Richard Aucoin to express my deep concern and worry over PMRA/Health Canada's favourable re-evaluation of glyphosate and have asked them both to carefully analyze and take into account all of the peer-reviewed and published scientific literature and empirical evidence on the human and animal health and environmental toxicity of glyphosate, Monsanto's RoundUp and Dow's Enlist Duo herbicides, and to urgently use and apply the Precautionary Principle to outright ban the further importation, sale and use of both glyphosate, Monsanto's RoundUp and Dow's Enlist Duo in Canada to protect both our health and our environment. 

The approval for the sale and use of glyphosate, Monsanto's RoundUp, Dow's Enlist Duo and other highly toxic, poisonous and lethal herbicides, pesticides and chemicals is truly a Crime Against Humanity and a crime against all Life on this planet! 

Glyphosate, Monsanto's RoundUp and Dow's Enlist Duo herbicides (and ALL other toxic herbicides and pesticides) MUST urgently and indefinitely be BANNED from this planet! Nothing less than the future survival of humanity and of all life on this planet is at stake!

Breaking News update (27 April, 2015):

A European coalition of NGO's has written an open letter to the Chinese government to ban both the production of glyphosate in China (China is the largest producer of glyphosate in the world), as well as to ban the importation of GMO's (GM soy, corn, etc.) grown using Monsanto's RoundUp Ready herbicide. 

Furthermore, over 30,000 physicians from Argentina have written to the government to ban glyphosate in Argentina. In a published statement they write: “Glyphosate not only causes cancer. It is also associated with increased spontaneous abortions, birth defects, skin diseases, and respiratory and neurological disease.” Argentina is the third largest producer of GM soy and GM corn. 

Breaking News update: 13/05/15

Germany’s state consumer protection ministers are calling for an EU-wide ban of glyphosate/Roundup after it was classified as a probable human carcinogen by the WHO.


Over 350 retail stores in Germany have also decided to remove and to ban the sale of glyphosate/Roundup across Germany.

(14 May) The International Society of Doctors for the Environment (ISDE) have written a letter to the President of the EU Parliament to request a ban on glyphosate-based herbicides and other toxic pesticides used in the EU.

Bermuda has also decided to ban the importation and sale of glyphosate/Roundup following the WHO's classification of glyphosate as a probable human carcinogen.

Breaking News update: 

(25 May) Sri Lanka president bans the importation and use of glyphosate due to scientific evidence linking the use of glyphosate in agriculture to an epidemic of chronic kidney disease (CKDu) among agricultural workers in the country.

(30 May) Danish Environment Authority declares glyphosate a carcinogen

(03 June) Two largest supermarkets chains in Switzerland ban the sale of products containing glyphosate over health concern

(08 June) Over 80 scientists have signed an open letter to all governments to ban glyphosate and Monsanto's RoundUp due to its toxicity to both human and animal health and the environment/biodiversity.

(17 June) Breaking news: France bans sales of Monsanto's Roundup 

BREAKING NEWS UPDATE

Professor Gilles-Eric Séralini has published a landmark study on the toxicity of lab feed used in the control group; in fact, professor Séralini has alarmingly found that all the feed used in the laboratory control groups is contaminated with glyphosate/Roundup, GMO's and other toxic chemicals. This is very significant because it falsifies and invalidates all GMO and pesticides toxicity studies and approvals carried out over the last +15 years.

Moreover, Dr. Anthony Samsel has obtained and analyzed the "secret" data from Monsanto submitted to the US EPA in 1978-1980 for the approval of glyphosate. Alarmingly, Dr. Samsel found that Monsanto had falsified the data submitted to the EPA using "historical controls" to hide the toxicity of glyphosate on human health. Furthermore, Dr. Samson also analyzed samples of the lab chow used in the laboratory control group and found that "all of them were contaminated with glyphosate, GMO's, vitamin inducing cancers and folic acid which causes mammary tumors." 

Dr. Samsel explains that using glyphosate, GMO, etc. in lab chow to feed control groups falsifies the result of all toxicology studies and invalidates the regulatory approval of all GMO's and pesticides. He concludes by saying that all GMO and pesticide studies submitted for regulatory approval over the last +15 years must be reviewed and that "science will have to reconsider the safety of glyphosate. Glyphosate is not a probable human carcinogen. It IS a human carcinogen" concludes Dr. Samsel. 

Dr. Samsel is currently writing a paper on glyphosate and cancer which will be published this fall (2015). Please watch and share this alarming and landmark interview with Dr. Anthony Samsel.        
To be followed...

News update on the IARC findings and classification of glyphosate as a probable human carcinogen:

The WHO has appointed a so-called Joint FAO/WHO Meeting on Pesticide Residues (JMPR) "expert task force" which is in charge of assessing the risks of pesticide residues in food and performing risk assessments for regulatory purpose. However, a coalition of CSO found that three of the eight task force "experts" have financial and professional ties to Monsanto and to the biotech and chemical industry. The CSO have written a letter to the WHO/FAO/JMPR to denounce this flagrant conflict of interest. I am enclosing an article on the subject as well as a copy of their letter

The Genocide and Ecocide of GMO-RoundUp soy plantations in South America 

Please watch and widely share this 10 minute documentary and this BBC documentary that gives a (tragic) glimpse of the human Genocide and the environmental Ecocide resulting from the growing of Monsanto's GM Roundup Ready soy in Paraguay (and elsewhere in South America) using glyphosate and Monsanto's toxic, poisonous and lethal RoundUp herbicide.

What is important to understand is that all of the GM soya and corn produced in South America ( Paraguay, Argentina, Brazil, etc.) as well as in the US and Canada is used mainly to feed livestock in affluent meat consuming countries such as the US, Canada, the EU, Japan, China, etc. Therefore, all those who consume (non-organic) meat (beef, pork, chicken, etc.) and their produce (milk, cheese, yogurt, eggs, etc.) - through ignorance or worse indifference - are as responsible and guilty as Monsanto et al. of the resulting human Genocide and the Ecocide of the planet. In fact, if hundreds of millions of people stop buying and eating meats (and their produce) that is fed GM soya and GM corn (and now GM alfalfa), as well as all processed so-called "food" that contain GM soya, maize, canola, sugarbeet, etc. (+90% of all processed "food" and drinks), Monsanto and the entire biotech industry would simply and inevitably collapse...

Peaceful, non-violent, non-cooperation with the system and the oppressor...

Other urgent action to be taken to ban glyphosate, Monsanto's RoundUp and Dow's Enlist Duo

Glyphosate, Monsanto's RoundUp and Dow's Enlist Duo pose a great and very serious threat to the health of millions of people around the world as well as to the environment and to the entire ecosystem. It is therefore extremely important to advocate for the urgent and complete ban of glyphosate, Monsanto's RoundUp and Dow's Enlist Duo.

Glyphosate's toxicity: Monsanto's and the biotech industry's Achille's heel...

I believe that the recent avalanche of independent peer-reviewed and published scientific literature and documented empirical evidence of the human and animal health and the environmental hazards of glyphosate, could very well be Monsanto's and the biotech industry's Achille's heel. In fact, over 90% of all GMO's produced in the world are herbicide-tolerant (HT) crops which require and use glyphosate and RoundUp Ready herbicides (please see graph below). Thus, if we all can successfully lobby the regulatory agencies to ban glyphosate, then it would no longer be possible for Monsanto and the biotech industry to grow GMO's, which would lead to the collapse of Monsanto and the biotech industry! No glyphosate = no RoundUp = no GMO's = No Monsanto = no more biotech industry!

Therefore, the current 2015 “re-evaluation” of glyphosate by the EPA, Health Canada and the EFSA is a real window of opportunity for the anti-GMO movement (and ALL of humanity) to defeat Monsanto and the biotech industry and to get rid of GMO's worlwide! The EPA, Health Canada and the EFSA are currently “re-evaluating” glyphosate for re-approval for another 15 years! However, they only accept and provide 1-2 months for so-called “public comments” on the re-evaluation and re-approval process. Health Canada has already "re-evaluated” glyphosate on 13 April, 2015 and is accepting “public comment” from the Canadian public for only 2 months (up to June 12). It is therefore crucial to act swiftly to prevent the re-approval of glyphosate and RoundUp in Canada for another 15 years!

You can also sign this petition from Greenpeace to ask the EPA, Health Canada and the EFSA to ban glyphosate and Monsanto's RoundUp.

Thank you for widely and urgently sharing this crucial information to raise awareness about this deadly issue before it is too late...

Together we can defeat MonSatan!

Truthfully,

THE PEOPLE vs THE CANADIAN GOVERNMENT & THE BANK OF CANADA

“ Until the control and the issue of currency and credit is restored to government and recognized as its most conspicuous and sacred responsibility, all talk of sovereignty of Parliament and democracy is idle and futile. Once a nation parts with the control of its currency and credit, it matters not who makes the nation's laws. Usury, once in control, will wreck any nation.” William Lyon Mackenzie King, Prime Minister of Canada, pictured below on the $50 bill.

COMER vs the Canadian Government and the Bank of Canada

On January 20, 2012, the Committee for Monetary and Economic Reforms (COMER) - a Canadian economic and monetary think thank represented by constitutional lawyer Rocco Galati - filed a landmark lawsuit against the Bank of Canada, the Minister of Finance, the Attorney General of Canada, the Minister of National Revenue and the Queen for - among other - "abdicating their statutory and constitutional duties with respect to article ss. 18 (i) and (j) of the Bank of Canada Act which stipulates that the Minister of Finance and the Government of Canada are required to request and the Bank of Canada is statutorily required to make interest-free loans for the purpose of human capital expenditures, infrastructure expenditures and federal, provincial and municipal expenditures."

Historical background, purpose and objective of the lawsuit

The Bank of Canada was first created in 1934 as a private Central Bank. However, in 1938 the Bank of Canada was nationalized and constitutionally mandated with the exclusive right and power to issue and loan the federal, provincial and municipal governments interest-free money for public infrastructure development and “human capital” expenditures such as education, health and other social programs.

Prior to 1938, Canada did not have a public Central Bank. As a result, the government had to borrow money for government expenditures from private commercial banks at interest. The country's largest private commercial bank – the Bank of Montreal – was the government's de facto bank. However, on the eve of the Great Depression (1929), the interest on the government debt had reached an alarming one third of government expenditure. As a result, a Royal Commission was set up in 1933 to study the setting up of a Canadian Central Bank to issue interest-free money to the government for public infrastructure development and “human capital” expenditures such as education, health and other social programs.

As Prime Minister Mackenzie stated in 1935:

“ Until the control and the issue of currency and credit is restored to government and recognized as its most conspicious and sacred responsibility, all talk of sovereignty of Parliament and democracy is idle and futile.”

Tragically, however, in 1974 the Bank of Canada became a member of the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) - an apex private central banking organization regrouping all private Central Banks around the world - which started dictating monetary, financial, fiscal, economic and budgetary policy in Canada. Furthermore, under the BIS, the Bank of Canada was strictly forbidden to provide interest-free loans to the government, contrary to the Bank Act of 1938. Instead, the Bank of Canada started lending money to private commercial banks at near-zero interest rates (the Prime rate), which the commercial banks then loaned back to the government at much higher compounded interest rates. As a direct result, the Canadian "public debt" has since skyrocketed from $24 billion in 1974 to over $600 billion in 2014 (see graph below).

As the above graph clearly and tragically shows, the “public”/government debt has exponentially increased from $24 billion in 1974 (before the Bank of Canada became a member of the BIS) to over $600 billion ($611.9 billion) in 2014  (from 1974-2014, after it became a member of the BIS).

Furthermore, according to statistics published by the Ministry of Finance, Canadian taxpayers paid 
$ 28.2 billion in interest on the "public debt" in 2014 alone, which represents 10% of total government expenditure for 2014 ($271.7 billion), exceeding health and other social expenditures, employment insurance and children's benefits, Public Safety and National Defense.

Vicious debt-austerity trap cycle

The current vicious and impoverishing cycle of debt-austerity policies imposed on Canadians by Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his government are a direct result and consequence of the monetary, financial, fiscal, budgetary and economic policies dictated and imposed on the Bank of Canada by the BIS.

Indeed, Prime Minister Harper, the Finance Minister and his government are imposing deadly austerity measures on the Canadian public, slashing federal, provincial and municipal budgets, cutting down on public infrastructure development and “human capital” expenditures such as health care, education and other public and social services, while spending $28.2 billion a year to pay the interest on the unconstitutional so-called “public debt”...

Moreover, according to Paul Hellyer - the former Canadian Defense Minister and author of The Money Mafia - Canadian taxpayers have paid over $ 1,100 billion ($1.1 Trillion) in compounded interest payments on the (so-called) “public debt” from 1974-2004 (twice the current public debt). With the current level of government debt ($ 611.9 billion), Canadian taxpayers will pay over a trillion dollars in interest only over the next 20-25 years, ad infinitum...

  

As Prime Minister Mackenzie clearly and prophetically stated in 1935:

“ Once a nation parts with the control of its currency and credit, it matters not who makes the nation's laws. Usury, once in control, will wreck any nation.”

And as the "father" of the current fraudulent Fractional Reserve Banking and private central banking architecture - Meyer Amschel Rothchild - himself arrogantly said:

Why should the government borrow money at interest from private commercial banks when it can issue and spend its own currency interest-free through the Bank of Canada..?

The obvious question that any sane and thinking person would ask PM Stephen Harper, the Finance Minister, The Governor of the Bank of Canada, the Canadian government, Opposition Leaders and Members of Parliament, is why does the government have to borrow fiat money created ex nihilo (out of nothing) from private commercial banks at compounded interest, which hard-working Canadian taxpayers are coerced to repay trough taxation, when the Bank of Canada Act constitutionally gives the Bank of Canada the exclusive mandate, right and power to issue and loan money to the government interest-free...? I encourage all Canadians to urgently ask Prime Minister Harper, the Finance Minister, the Governor of the Bank of Canada as well as their MP this question.

In 1939, Mr Graham Towers – the first Governor General of the Bank of Canada from 1934 to 1954 - testified in front of the Canadian Government's Standing Committee on Banking and Commerce, during which he provided factual evidence and openly revealed much about the modus operandi of the (fraudulent) central private banking system in Canada.

In one question he was asked by the Committee: "Will you tell me why a government with power to create money, should give that power away to a private monopoly, and then borrow that which parliament can create itself, back at interest, to the point of national bankruptcy?".

To which Mr Towers replied: "If parliament wants to change the form of operating the banking system, then certainly that is within the power of parliament" (1)

I therefore encourage all Canadians to ask their MP the same question.

Fractional Reserve Banking and Private Central Banking

"The few who can understand the system will be either so interested in its profits, or so dependent on its favors, that there will be no opposition from that class, while, on the other hand, that great body of people, mentally incapable of comprehending the tremendous advantage that Capital derives from the system, will bear its burden without complaint and, perhaps, without even suspecting that the system is inimical to their interests." Letter written from London by the Rothschilds to their New York agents introducing Fractional Reserve Banking and private central banking in the USA.

I encourage all Canadians who wish to live as free men/women to urgently carry out their own research into the fraudulent Canadian and global private central banking architecture which has literally enslaved all Canadians and all of humanity to a handful of private bankers. Please research Fractional Reserve Banking and Private Central Banking.

As Goethe rightly stated: "None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe to be free."

And as Henry Ford (prophetically) stated: “It is good that people do not understand the workings of the banking system; for if they did, I believe that there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.”

That "morning" is not far...

Finally, I invite you to read the following Open Letter I have written to Barack Obama regarding the 2008 banking/financial collapse and the fraudulent banking policies and practices of the privately-owned Federal Reserve Bank in the US.

I also invite you to read the following article I have recently written regarding the root constitutional cause behind the vicious and deadly debt-austerity trap cycle in Greece and in the EU.

In fact, the exact same banking scam and looting mechanism that is operating in the US since 1913 through the privately-owned Federal Reserve Bank, and in the EU since 1999 through the privately-owned European Central Bank (ECB), is unconstitutionally and thus illegally operating in Canada since 1974 through the Bank of Canada.

"There are two ways to conquer and enslave a nation. One is by the sword. The other is by debt." John Adams (2nd US president, 1797-1801)

Canadians must break free from the vicious and deadly debt-austerity trap cycle and from the resulting economic and financial enslavement. The monopoly over the supply of money in Canada by private central banksters and the resulting "public debt" has become a weapon for the economic plunder of the wealth and resources of Canada and the exploitation, oppression and enslavement of Canadians. Nothing less than the future survival and freedom of Canadians is at stake. 

Indeed, the global private monopoly over the supply of money is the root cause of all human exploitation, oppression, economic depressions, poverty, unemployment, homelessness, hunger/famines, wars and endless human misery and suffering. As long as private central banking and Fractional Reserve Banking are not permanently banned and outlawed, global plunder, human enslavement, exploitation, oppression, poverty, war, misery and suffering will go on unabated ad infinitum...

As Tolstoy rightly stated:

" Money is a new form of slavery. The only difference between chattel slavery and money, is that the latter does not have a visible master-slave relationship."

This is truly a landmark lawsuit for Canada and for the entire world. Unfortunately, although unsurprisingly, the mainstream Canadian (corporate) media and the global so-called "free" press(titutes) have brilliantly failed to cover this landmark lawsuit in the so-called "news", although this is the most important issue facing the welfare, survival, future and freedom of all Canadians and by extension of humanity as a whole.      

Thank you for raising awareness about this landmark lawsuit and this extremely important issue and for sharing this article through the Internet and social media.

You can download the entire Claim against the government of Canada and the Bank of Canada and read and endorse the "Call for the Renaissance of the Bank of Canada" at this link.

I also invite you to watch this brilliant 10 minute crash-course video given by a 12 year old Canadian girl on the fraudulent Canadian banking system:

You probably wonder why you never heard this from the Prime Minister, the Canadian government, Opposition Leaders, Members of Parliament, the "free" press(titutes) and the so-called economic and financial pseudo "experts"...?

Food for thought...

THE EU/EURO/ECB & THE FINANCIAL AND ECONOMIC ENSLAVEMENT OF GREEK & EU CITIZENS...

THE ROOT CAUSE BEHIND THE GREEK, EUROPEAN AND WORLD "DEBT" AND AUSTERITY VICIOUS TRAP CYCLE

I write this article as Alexis Stripas of the (anti-austerity) Syriza party has just won the elections in Greece. Greece and other EU-member countries (as well as countless other countries and people around the world) are painfully trying to "survive" an exponentially increasing “debt” crisis and deadly austerity measures imposed by the Troika ( European Central Bank (ECB), IMF and the European Commission) which has literally economically and financially enslaved European nations and Greek and other EU citizens to the Troika.

Unfortunately, Prime Minister Stripas has clearly and repeatedly stated that he has every intention of repaying the (so-called) "debt"; neither does he wish to take Greece out of the EU and abandon the Euro. Instead, he has stated that he wishes to negotiate with the Troika to reduce the debt to sustainable levels (currently the debt to GDP ratio is 175%) and renegotiate the interest and the terms of payment on the debt with the Troika.

Graph: Greek "public debt" to GDP ratio 2001-1013 (in billions of Euros)

In fact, a high-level ECB official clearly stated today that the ECB was not willing to write off any of the Greek debt it holds: " Mr Stripas must pay. Those are the rules of the game", stated ECB executive board member Benoit Coeuré. However, he further stated that the ECB "did not rule out a rescheduling of the debt." 

Furthermore, Yanis Varoufakis - the newly appointed Greek Finance Minister - has also clearly stated that he wishes to find a "mutually beneficial agreement between Greece and the troika" and that he does not want Greece to exit the EU and to abandon the Euro; "no Grexit" he stated in a Bloomberg interview.

First meeting between Yanis Varoufakis and Jeroen Dijsselbloem - president of Eurogroup, Athens 30 January, 2015.

However, simply renegotiating and rescheduling the payment on the "debt" will not resolve the root constitutional cause of the Greek "debt" crisis and/or put an end to the vicious and deadly debt-austerity trap cycle. In fact, the Troika will continue to dictate Greek budgetary, fiscal, structural, and economic policy to force Greece to pay the interest on the so-called "debt", and they will continue to impose further austerity measures to "privatize" (i.e. economically loot)  the wealth and resources of Greece and to financially bankrupt both the Greek people and the country. 

The root constitutional cause behind the (so-called) "debt" crisis in Greece and in the EU

"A well defined problem is half resolved." Einstein

The root constitutional cause behind the current Greek and EU “debt" and austerity crisis is contained in the following two Articles of the Maastricht Treaty (EU Constitution).

MAASTRICHT TREATY

ECONOMIC AND MONETARY POLlCY

Chapter 1

Economic policy


Article 104

1. Overdraft facilities or any other type of credit facility with the ECB or with the central banks of the Member States (hereinafter referred to as “national central banks”) in favour of Community institutions or bodies, central governments, regional, local or other public authorities, other bodies governed by public law, or public undertakings of Member States shall be prohibited, as shall the purchase directly from them by the ECB or national central banks of debt instruments.

Chapter 2

Monetary policy


Article 105a

1. The European Central Bank shall have the exclusive right to authorize the issue of bank notes within the Community. The ECB and the national central banks may issue such notes. The bank notes issued by the ECB and the national central banks shall be the only such notes to have the status of legal tender within the Community.

Meaning and consequences of Article 104 and 105a

Article 104 and 105a of the Maastricht Treaty explicitly forbids EU member nations from printing, issuing and circulating their own national currencies (the inviolable constitutional right of any sovereign nation) to fund their own economic activities and socio-economic development.

Instead, they must “borrow” all of their (fiat) money on the financial markets with interest which Greek and all EU member citizens are then coerced to repay through taxation at compounded interest rates, thus forever financially and economically enslaving all hard-working Greeks and European citizens ( i.e. the "working class") to the Troika and to the private banksters ( i.e the "ruling class" or more appropriately the professional thieves, criminals and parasites living off human labor and ingenuity.) 

Currently, hundreds of billions of Euros are paid annually by Greek and other EU member citizens to private banks to pay the interest on the so-called "debt", while the the ECB, the IMF and the EC (Troika) imposes deadly austerity measures in Greece and in other EU member countries. Of course, the (hidden) objective and aim of the austerity measures is to loot ( i.e. "privatize") the wealth, resources and public infrastructures of Greece and other EU member countries and to transfer Greek/EU taxpayer money into the pockets of the private banksters...

Indeed, the main (hidden) agenda and objective behind the formation of the European Union was to centralize, consolidate and take over complete control over the money supply of sovereign states in Europe through the Euro and through the privately-owned European Central Bank, which is of course entirely owned and controlled by the same international private banksters who control the privately-owned Federal Reserve Bank (FED) in the US, the IMF, the World Bank and all Central Banks in Western countries. 

I invite you to read the following Open Letter I wrote and addressed to Barack Obama during the 2008 financial collapse regarding the Federal Reserve Bank and the fraudulent US banking architecture. 

In fact, the exact same looting mechanism that operates in the US through the privately-owned and controlled Federal Reserve Bank (FED), is now operating in the EU through the privately-owned European Central Bank (ECB), with the covert support and criminal complicity of morally corrupt European politicians (i.e. minions of the Troika/banksters) and financially and morally bankrupt European governments.

Tragically, the vast majority of Greek and European citizens have never read the Maastricht Treaty, and even those that did surely do not understand the tragic implications of articles 104 and 105a of the Maastricht Treaty - economic and financial enslavement to the Troika and to the private banksters...

I encourage all Greek and European citizens who wish to live as free men/women - and indeed all human beings globally - to urgently carry out their own research into the fraudulent global banking and financial architecture which has enslaved all European citizens and the entire world. Please research/Google Fractional Reserve Banking and Private Central Banking.

As Goethe rightly said:

“None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe to be free.”

And as Henry Ford (prophetically) stated:

“It is good that people do not understand the workings of the banking system, for if they did, I believe that there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning…”

That “morning” is not far…

BREAKING NEWS UPDATE ( 18 March, 2015)

The " morning " Henry Ford referred to in his above quote has just begun...In fact, over 10,000 German and EU citizens from all over Europe have demonstrated and rioted in Frankfurt on March 18 to protest against the ECB's anti-austerity and fraudulent banking practices ahead of the opening inauguration ceremony of the new 1.3 billion euros ECB new Head Quarters in Frankfurt! 
Please see this BBC article and video of the demonstrations and of the riots. 

" There are two ways to conquer, plunder and enslave a nation. One is by the sword. The other is through debt."  John Adams ( 2nd president of the US, 1797-1801)

Indeed, the private monopoly over the global money supply and the resulting global "debt" has become a powerful and deadly weapon for the plunder and enslavement of nation states and for the global exploitation, oppression and enslavement of humanity. This vicious and deadly debt-austerity trap cycle must be broken to liberate humanity from perpetual financial and economic slavery, exploitation, oppression, wars, mass poverty, unemployment, homelessness, hunger/famine, environmental destruction and endless human suffering and misery. Nothing less than the future of human "civilization" and freedom is at stake. 

As Tolstoy rightly stated:

"Money is a new form of slavery, distinguishable from chattel slavery simply from the fact that it has no visible master-slave relationship.”

Meet the EU "invisible" master - Mario Draghi, Head of the privately-owned European Central Bank (ECB) - laughing all the way to the bank...(literally)

How does Greece and other EU member countries and citizens break free from the chains of the EU and the ECB financial and economic enslavement...?

Greece and other EU member countries MUST break free from the EU, the ECB and the Euro

The only solution for Greece and for other EU member countries to regain their economic and financial sovereignty is to break free from the chains of the EU/ECB/Euro, and to re-establish their own public banks with constitutional power to issue their own local currency backed by 100% gold and silver reserves. The real money thus created can then be loaned by the publicly-owned Central Bank to national governments interest-free for productive government expenditures and investments i.e. infrastructure development, employment creation, education, R&D, health and other "human capital" expenditures. This will create employment, economic growth and real wealth within the economy and save hundreds of billions of Euros in taxes paid/looted annually to pay the interest on the so-called (odious) “debt”...

As Abraham Lincoln and Thomas Jefferson rightly stated:

"The Government should create, issue, and circulate all the currency and credits needed to satisfy the spending power of the Government and the buying power of consumers. By the adoption of these principles, the taxpayers will be saved immense sums of interest. Money will cease to be master and become the servant of humanity." Abraham Lincoln

In fact, Abraham Lincoln (the 16th president of the US) printed, issued and circulated his own debt-free and interest-free $US called "Greenbacks" to finance the US Civil War and government spending while in office, thereby undercutting the private banksters in the US. He was of course assassinated for his "dangerous" action, as were president Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, John F. Kennedy and many other US presidents/congressmen/patriots who fought against the private banksters.  

As president Kennedy and Thomas Jefferson stated:

Both president Kennedy and Thomas Jefferson were also assassinated for their opposing & fighting the private banksters... 

As Meyer Amschel Rothschild - the "father" of the fraudulent global "fractional reserve banking" and central private banking system arrogantly said:

Legal action: "Odious Debt"

Greece, EU member countries (and countless other illegally indebted countries in the world) can and should legally repudiate their so-called "debt" under the doctrine of the "Odious Debt" recognized under international law. 

Odious Debts are legally defined as "debts which are contracted against the interests of the population of a State, without consent and with the full awareness of the creditors." The doctrine stipulates that in such cases, the debt is odious under international law and unenforceable against the alleged debtor State. 

International law scholar Alexander Nahum Sack was the first to popularize the doctrine of odious debt. Sack explained that the reason that these odious debts cannot attach to the territory of the State is that  they do not fulfill one of the conditions determining the lawfulness State debts, namely that "State debts must be incurred and the proceeds used for the needs and in the interest of the State. Odious debts contracted and utilized for purposes which, to the lenders' knowledge, are contrary to the needs and the interest of the nation are not binding on that nation, unless the debt is within the limits of real advantages that these debts might have afforded." 

It is thus now up to Prime Minister Alexis Pristas, Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis and his government to use these legal instruments to declare and argue that the Greek debt is an "odious debt" under international law and thus unenforceable against Greece. As Yanis Varoufakis himself recognized and publicly stated on BBC: "The largest loan in history was granted to the most insolvent of EU nations..., with a list of reforms that was just a fig leaf. This could not end well."

UPDATE ON THE GREEK TRAGEDY/SAGA (17 July, 2015)

Alexis Stripas has tragically (but unsurprisingly) endorsed and agreed to “immediately implement” a harsh/deadly and deeply humiliating (to add insult to injury) THIRD AUSTERITY BAILOUT from the Troika which the Greek parliament has tragically rubber-stamped, despite the overwhelming majority of Greek citizens voting NO/OXI/against the austerity/bailout terms. In fact, while the PM and the MP were debating and voting on the bailout/austerity text, thousandsof Greeks were rioting outside of parliament against the bailout/austerity measures. 
See also this link.

“I signed a text I do not believe in.” PM Alexis Tsipras

Incredibly, PM Alexis Tsipras – who was elected PM in January 2015 on a mandate to put an end to the austerity policies imposed and dictated by the Troika - publicly acknowledged and stated: 

“ I signed a text I do not believe in.” 

At the same time, however, PM Tsipras cheerfully voted in favor of "a text he does not believe in" the following day in parliament while publicly stating and acknowledging that the bailout/austerity measures were detrimental to Greece! And to add insult to injury, he arrogantly stated in parliament: “Colleagues, we are at a critical moment; we are called on to take a decision with responsibility.I want to say that throughout these five months we have fought really hard. I am personally proud of what has been done, this fight has been made with personal costs for the sake of our people's rights." I take full responsibility for everything, says Tsipras - and I feel proud of the fight we have fought over the last few years.” You can watch PM Tsipras' speech in parliament before the vote.

As Einstein rightly stated: Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”

Governmental and Parliamentary opposition to the third bailout/austerity agreement

Several members of Tsipras' own government, Syriza party members and MP have voiced their disagreement and vehement opposition to the bailout/austerity agreement endorsed by PM Tsipras.

Golden Dawn MP vocally expressed his fierce opposition in parliament.

“I dont know if we did the right thing. But I know we felt we had no choice. We never said this was good agreement”, said the newly appointed Greek Finance Minister Euclid Tsakalotos. He told MPs that many of the measures in the bailout bill will be recessionary, but that it is the price to pay to preserve Greece in the eurozone. “It’s a difficult deal, a deal for which only time will show if it is economically viable.”

“ It’s a bad deal but for Greece’s sake, its future in Europe, it has to go through,” said shadow finance minister Anna Asimakopoulou.

Greek deputy finance minister, Nadia Valavani, resigned just hours before the bailout vote in parliament saying she couldn’t support the bailout programme.Valavani told Tsipras that it is “impossible” for her to keep serving in his government, given the austerity measures he had agreed to. In a letter released by the finance ministry, Valavani warned that Greece faced a “crushing capitulation” at the hands of its creditors in Brussels. The bailout terms were not a “viable solution” to Greece’s problems, she insisted, warning: “The solution imposed today in such a depressing way is not sustainable for the Greek people and for the country.”

Both Finance Ministry secretary general Manos Manousakis and Deputy Finance Minister Valavani resigned, calling the Third Bailout Agreement a “tombstone" and a "humiliation of the government and the country".

Parliamentary Speaker Zoe Konstantopoulou said that the bailout deal is “a coup, a blackmail and a Crime Against Humanity which could lead to a social genocide. The people gave a clear “No” in this month’s referendum, says Konstantopoulou - we don’t have the right to interpret it as a “Yes”, or a “No with conditions.” Konstantopoulou said that creditors have forced destructive policies on Greece, and slammed Greece’s debt as an “odious debt”. She also (rightly) held former Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis responsible for failing to successfully negotiate/resolve the debt-austerity crisis in Greece. 

“We are here because the negotiations failed. What we now have in front of us is a new Versailles Treaty” said Yanis Varoufakis.

Personal comments:

This third austerity/bailout agreement/treadmill is truly the last nail in the coffin of Greece. In fact, it is economically impossible for Greece to break free from the vicious trap cycle of debt-austerity under the third bailout terms. In fact, the IMF has predicted that the GDP-to-debt ratio would increase to over 200% within the next 2-3 years. Therefore, Greece will inevitably further slide into the vicious trap cycle of further debt, further austerity, soaring unemployment, bankruptcies, privatizations, etc. and economic, financial and political enslavement ad infinitum...

What to do...?

The ONLY solution for Greece to break free from the vicious trap cycle of debt/austerity and from perpetual economic enslavement to the Troika is to BREAK FREE from the chains of the EU/EURO/IMF/Troika (i.e. Grexit.) and reintroduce the Drachma – backed by 100% gold/silver reserves. The REAL money thus created by the independent Central Bank of Greece can then be loaned interest free to the government for PRODUCTIVE investments in public infrastructure, human capital investments and social programs (i.e. education, R&D, health, etc.) This will create EMPLOYMENT and REVENUE and therefore REAL economic growth and REAL wealth in the economy.

Odious debt

“There are two ways to conquer and enslave a nation. One is by the sword. The other is by debt.” John Adams (2nd US president, 1797-1801)

Greece has clearly been conquered and enslaved by debt. However, Greece CAN and SHOULD legally repudiate their so-called “debt” under the doctrine of the “odious debt” recognized under international law. Odious Debts are legally defined as “debts which are contracted against the interests of the population of a State, without consent and with the full awareness of the creditors.” The doctrine stipulates that in such cases, the debt is odious under international law and unenforceable against the alleged debtor State.

International law scholar Alexander Nahum Sack was the first to popularize the doctrine of odious debt. Sack explained that the reason that these odious debts cannot attach to the territory of the State is that they do not fulfill one of the conditions determining the lawfulness State debts, namely that “State debts must be incurred and the proceeds used for the needs and in the interest of the State. Odious debts contracted and utilized for purposes which, to the lenders’ knowledge, are contrary to the needs and the interest of the nation are not binding on that nation, unless the debt is within the limits of real advantages that these debts might have afforded.”

I am truly perplexed (but not surprised) that neither Yanis Varoufakis – as (former) Finance Minister – nor PM Alexis Stripas and the (anti-austerity) Syriza government brilliantly failed to declare and argue that the Greek debt is an “odious debt” under international law and thus unenforceable against Greece…?

I have written to Yanis Varoufakis about this issue. Unfortunately (but unsurprisingly), Yanis Varoufakis chose to ignore and to not respond to my comments. He is evidently more interested and competent in sterile pseudo-economic debate/masturbation than in identifying, addressing and resolving the root causes of the Greek debt-austerity crisis.

As for PM Alexis Tsipras, he is evidently incompetent and unwilling to break free from from the vicious trap cycle of debt/austerity and from the chains of his EU masters/banksters and the Troika...

The choice for Greece is clear: Voluntary Servitude or Freedom...?
