Deadly pathogen found in GMO Crops, micro fungus

[Guest guest]

MWM: This is not a journalist reporting, this is a very serious scientist with a

very long experience making a very important advisory. Essentially he is

pointing to

" Round-Up " GMO grains containing a hitchhiking deadly virus pathogen which will

devastate animal husbandry and cause spontaneous crop failures.

This previously unknown organism is only visible under an electron microscope

(36,000X), with an approximate size range equal to a medium size virus. It is

able to reproduce and appears to be a micro-fungal-like organism. If so, it

would be the first such micro-fungus ever identified. There is strong evidence

that this infectious agent promotes diseases of both plants and mammals, which

is very rare.

Here is some of it... if it is okay to post.

Emergency! Pathogen New to Science Found in Roundup Ready GM Crops?

USDA senior scientist sends " emergency " warning to US Secretary of Agriculture

Tom Vilsack on a new plant pathogen in Roundup Ready GM soybean and corn that

may be responsible for high rates of infertility and spontaneous abortions in

livestock Dr. Mae-Wan Ho

Please distribute widely and forward to your elected representatives

An open letter appeared on the Farm and Ranch Freedom Alliance founded and run

by Judith McGeary to save family farms in the US [1, 2]. The letter, written by

Don Huber, professor emeritus at Purdue University, to Secretary of Agriculture

Tom Vilsack, warns of a pathogen " new to science " discovered by " a team of

senior plant and animal scientists " . Huber says it should be treated as an

" emergency'', as it could result in " a collapse of US soy and corn export

markets and significant disruption of domestic food and feed supplies. "

The letter appeared to have been written before Vilsack announced his decision

to authorize unrestricted commercial planting of GM alfalfa on 1 February, in

the hope of convincing the Secretary of Agriculture to impose a moratorium

instead on deregulation of Roundup Ready (RR) crops.

The new pathogen appears associated with serious pervasive diseases in plants -

sudden death syndrome in soybean and Goss' wilt in corn – but its suspected

effects on livestock is alarming. Huber refers to " recent reports of

infertility rates in dairy heifers of over 20%, and spontaneous abortions in

cattle as high as 45%. "

This could be the worst nightmare of genetic engineering that some scientists

including me have been warning for years [3] (see Genetic Engineering Dream or

Nightmare, ISIS publication): the unintended creation of new pathogens through

assisted horizontal gene transfer and recombination.

Huber writes in closing: " I have studied plant pathogens for more than 50 years.

We are now seeing an unprecedented trend of increasing plant and animal diseases

and disorders. This pathogen may be instrumental to understanding and solving

this problem. It deserves immediate attention with significant resources to

avoid a general collapse of our critical agricultural infrastructure. "

The complete letter is reproduced below.

Dear Secretary Vilsack:

A team of senior plant and animal scientists have recently brought to my

attention the discovery of an electron microscopic pathogen that appears to

significantly impact the health of plants, animals, and probably human beings.

Based on a review of the data, it is widespread, very serious, and is in much

higher concentrations in Roundup Ready (RR) soybeans and corn-suggesting a link

with the RR gene or more likely the presence of Roundup. This organism appears

NEW to science!

This is highly sensitive information that could result in a collapse of US soy

and corn export markets and significant disruption of domestic food and feed

supplies. On the other hand, this new organism may already be responsible for

significant harm (see below). My colleagues and I are therefore moving our

investigation forward with speed and discretion, and seek assistance from the

USDA and other entities to identify the pathogen's source, prevalence,

implications, and remedies.

We are informing the USDA of our findings at this early stage, specifically due

to your pending decision regarding approval of RR alfalfa. Naturally, if either

the RR gene or Roundup itself is a promoter or co-factor of this pathogen, then

such approval could be a calamity. Based on the current evidence, the only

reasonable action at this time would be to delay deregulation at least until

sufficient data has exonerated the RR system, if it does.

For the past 40 years, I have been a scientist in the professional and military

agencies that evaluate and prepare for natural and manmade biological threats,

including germ warfare and disease outbreaks. Based on this experience, I

believe the threat we are facing from this pathogen is unique and of a high risk

status. In layman's terms, it should be treated as an emergency.

A diverse set of researchers working on this problem have contributed various

pieces of the puzzle, which together presents the following disturbing scenario:

Unique Physical Properties

This previously unknown organism is only visible under an electron microscope

(36,000X), with an approximate size range equal to a medium size virus. It is

able to reproduce and appears to be a micro-fungal-like organism. If so, it

would be the first such micro-fungus ever identified. There is strong evidence

that this infectious agent promotes diseases of both plants and mammals, which

is very rare.
