In 1983, Delta & Pine Land (D&PL) joined with the US Department of Agriculture in a project to develop Terminator seeds. It was one of the earliest experiments with GMO. It was a long-term project. The US Government has been serious about Terminator beginning more than two decades ago.

In March 1998 the US Patent Office granted Patent No. 5,723,765 to Delta & Pine Land for a patent titled, Control of Plant Gene Expression. The patent is owned jointly, according to Delta & Pine’s Security & Exchange Commission 10K filing, ‘by D&PL and the United States of America, as represented by the Secretary of Agriculture.’

• Claim 16 asks for a patent on: "A pig offspring produced by a method ..."
• Claim 17 asks for a patent on: "A pig herd having an increased frequency of a specific ...gene..."
• Claim 23 asks for a patent on: "A pig population produced by the method..."
• Claim 30 asks for a patent on: "A swine herd produced by a method..."

The FDA approval of cloned meats and milk from cloned cows, unlabeled at the consumer level, provides the basis for a seamless finale to US and Corporate ownership of the world food supply including but not limited to grains, produce, seeds, yeasts, fungus, enzymes, drugs, vitamins and dietary supplements and now livestock and animal-derived foods for feed and human consumption, all unlabeled at the consumer level.

Biotech is the big winner here with GMO corn, GMO Klebsiella bacteria used for ethanol production, GMO corn for feed for burgeoning CAFOs including feed for GMO dairy cow CAFOs.

Lobbyists from Washington DC are chewing on ideas for “industrial parks” for ethanol plants which would center around the ethanol plant and it’s by product, distiller’s grain. The circle goes as such:  The waste product of the ethanol production (distiller’s grain) would feed the large dairy cattle CAFOs (which will be increasing cloned and genetically engineered breeds) located along side the ethanol facility.  The dairy cows would supply liquid excrement to methane digesters located along side the dairy cows (who are stacked up head to tail in cement confinements). The fuel derived from the methane digester would then fuel the ethanol plants.  And of course, this being Iowa, GMO corn fields would surround the whole of the industrial park.

Unfortunately ethanol cannot be piped like oil.  It must be shipped by railroad, thereby increasing the train traffic in small  towns across Iowa.  And most unfortunately for our nation’s children, the milk derived from the dairy cows that eat distiller’s grain is partial and inadequate.  It is to be noted that distiller’s grain was banned as feed for dairy cows in the late 1800s as it produced “swill or slop” milk, milk considered unfit for human consumption.  Although the industry claims that they have improved the technology to remove residual alcohol from the grain, independent scientists are skeptical and demand more safety studies.

In order for Biotech to get off the ground, support had to start in the United States with promises of monies reaped from global trade of biotech grains (and now livestock). However, these promises are being subverted by these transnational corporations, US government and CODEX by their movement in foreign countries.  Currently, because of non labeling, there are over a billion acres of genetically engineered crops planted in foreign countries.  Smithfield is currently establishing CAFOs in Albania and Poland so as to establish financial investment and support for GMO livestock within European borders.

Labeling cloned meat and milk from cloned cows, in my opinion, would be the single most effective way to interrupt the expansion of CAFOs and Monsanto’s livestock conversion plan.  It would force the biotech forces to look to another state.  If this Biotech infusion is allowed to continue, Iowa will be the Industrial Park of Global Trade, with Ethanol Plants, Dairy CAFOs, Hog CAFOs, GMO crops and little room in the Iowa countryside for human habitation.

Request that the present 2007 Iowa legislature draft a bill to label cloned meat and milk from cloned cows following the lead of Senator Carol Migden’s model bill coming out of California. Time sensitive:  It is to be noted that request for bill titles will not be considered after Friday, February 16th

Legitimate, well respected journalists and recognized intellectuals regularly discuss the “End Times”. Members of the US Congress pass laws daily concerning pending plagues; laws outlining protocol for mass mandated inoculations for civilian population with non-liability clauses for corporation using untested vaccines; government financed detainment/confinement facilities. It is reported in the media that some of the most powerful and esteemed political circles in our nation’s Capitol have lively discussion over facilitating end times so that Jesus can return.  Jehovah Witnesses, biblical scholars, Jewish and Christian Zionists, the apocalyptic branch of virtually all present day religions,  the new age, vegetarian spiritualist and news personnel enact scenes that bestow credibility on V is for Vendetta ,the movie (one of my absolute favorites…I highly recommend it). Surely the genetic engineering of livestock is a sign of the times and logically, if not practically, heralds the coming plagues.  In my opinion as the former director of the National Coalition of Organized Women, the genetic engineering of animals is the last straw and truly a low point in this planet’s history… ABOMINATION is an appropriate word.

Dr. Rudolf Steiner, the founder of one of the world’s most enlightened education systems, the Waldorf Schools, the founder of Biodynamic Agriculture and a world recognized Christian mystic stated in and around 1918 the following…and I paraphrase:  “There will come a time when a technology will develop in the world that would appear beneficial in the medical field, but that it was a dangerous technology.  At the same time s sexual disease would appear that would come through the blood (AIDS?) that would preclude the concept of “brotherhood”.  At that time “safe islands” would arise…that is…communities based around biodynamic/organic agriculture”

His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, founder of the world recognized Transcendental Meditation movement and living founder of the Global Country of World Peace stated, in the mid ‘90s, as it concerned the technology of genetic engineering:  “Tell those who eat genetically engineered foods that their lives will be severely shortened.  So tell them to meditate and study the Veda with the little time they have left on the planet”.
