It's the Rocky-Heiney-Bushie Famine Project:

(AKA National Security Study Memorandum 200)
However, I would like to memorandize folk
about disease no longer being a weapon
the Memoranda folk can use
http://www.actionlyme.org/PAM3CYS_APPLICATIONS.htm
Don't forget about where the State Department
was invaded by either Israelis (Sibel Edmonds
and the Staties who sold nuclear technology to
the fake "Turkish Council") or the Congresspeople
they have blackmailed. The fake Turkish Council
was like the fake Syrian Lobby, run by Dick
Cheney and Jack Abramoff:
http://www.larouchepub.com/other/2006/3303cheney_bibi.html
"Cheney's war scheme against Syria also implicates Abramoff, according
to a Jan. 11, 2006 story by Justin Raimondi, posted on antiwar.com.
"One investigator, eager to obtain information about the neo-con-
sponsored Reform Party of Syria, led by one Farid Ghadry, the Syrian
version of Ahmed Chalabi" Raimondi wrote, "stumbled on the Abramoff
connection: 'When repeated calls to [Ghadry's] organization went
unanswered, I visited the Washington, D.C. headquarters of the RPS.
***Reform Party of Syria is in the office of super-Zionist lobbyist
Jack Abramoff.*** Middle Gate Ventures, Abramoff's political advisory
company, partners with RPS."
Perle, et al, were promised a personal
piece of the Turkish/Pipelines Action.

A World of Benefits from Biotechnology? For Whom?
by Jim Goodman
When the Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO) met in Chicago last
week they were, no doubt, elated to hear that the U.S. State
Department would be aggressively confronting critics of agricultural
biotechnology.
Wouldn't you think the State Department might have more pressing
issues than carrying water for Monsanto and the rest of the
biotechnology industry?
Jose Fernandez, Assistant Secretary of State for the Bureau of
Economic, Energy and Business Affairs noted that the State Department
was ready to take on the naysayers. In addition to confronting the
critics, Fernandez stated they would be building alliances (presumably
with the biotech industry and foreign governments), anticipating
roadblocks to acceptance and highlighting the science.
Highlighting the science, that's rich, to this point the only
"science" they can highlight is the fact that nearly 100% of the
commercially available genetically modified (GM) crops worldwide are
engineered to be insecticidal, resistant to herbicide application, or
both.
The State Department and its allies promote GM as a way for the
developing world to feed itself, but the four predominant GM crops
(corn, soy, cotton and canola) are not specifically human food crops,
they are used for animal feed, biofuel, fiber and processed food.
They would like us to believe that the "science" will deliver more
nutritious food, higher yielding crops, drought resistant crops and an
end to world hunger. These claims however, are not based in science,
but only on " the promise", or "the hope" of GM doing what its
supporters claim it can do.
The science, or lack thereof, that we should take note of is the
glaring lack of regulation of GM crops and the serious questions about
their safety. Nina Fedoroff, Science and Technology Adviser to
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton noted "We preach to the world about
science-based regulations but really our regulations on crop
biotechnology are not yet science-based."
We should not be surprised that the U.S. State Department is again, on
the stump, promoting biotech crops. It would be difficult to say how
long the the U.S. government has been aggressively promoting
biotechnology, specifically GM crops, but certainly since the
commercialization of GM soy in 1996.
In 2004 the State Department launched a website which was part of a
State Department initiative to "encourage broader adoption and
acceptance of biotechnology in the developing world", according to
Deborah Malac, then chief of the Biotechnology and Textile Trade
Policy Division of the State Department.
USDA is also actively promoting biotechnology with a website that
supports bringing biotechnology to the "worldwide marketplace".
Even the U.S. Senate is getting into the act, promoting, even
mandating GM technology to the developing world. Senate Bill 384, The
Global Food Security Act, would amend the Foreign Assistance act of
1961 to read "Agricultural research carried out under this act shall
include research on biotechnological advances appropriate to local
ecological conditions, including GM technology".
While USDA assures us that the products of biotechnology and the
chemicals they depend on are safe, scientists within USDA, the State
Department and the Administration question that view.
So why does the U.S. government promote the interests of the
biotechnology industry over the best interests of peoples health, the
environment and the food security of the developing world?
Easy answer, the biotechnology industry has a high profit margin and
they know how to influence government policy.
