Wicked biotech propaganda against our much-valued GMWatch! Can you help?

“These people hate GMWatch. Make ’em pay!
We badly need to
fundraise and we thought rather than earnestly telling you why our work on
everything from gene-editing to gene-drives to the harm done by pesticides is
important, we could have a bit of fun at our critics’ expense instead.
The
volleys of outlandish abuse we regularly receive are one of the things that keep
us feeling GMWatch must be doing something right.
So
what about making the attackers pay by supporting our work and showing them just
how much their attacks are worth – to us!?
To
kick things off, here’s a classic bit of abuse.
GMWatch
part of a cunning Russian plot… but no Russian gold!
In
a move that Senator Joseph McCarthy would have been proud of, Val Giddings, a
former vice president of the Biotechnology Industry Organization, did his best
to get GMWatch blacklisted by declaring us “an active part of Russian propaganda
active measures while working to undermine society on multiple levels. No room
for them [GMWatch] in civilized society.”
As
we’ve not received a single rouble from our Kremlin paymasters, what about
turning Giddings’ tinfoil (conspiracy theory) into gold?
Help
us fight back against the smears and propaganda of the GMO promoters and
pesticide makers by donating here.
Thank
you for your support!
