Mexican Judge Bans GMO Corn Effective Immediately !

I first heard this on Coast to Coast last night (20, October) so I did a simple Internet search this morning to confirm.

A Mexico judge has placed an indefinite ban on genetically engineered corn.

Effective immediately, companies like Monsanto and DuPont/Pioneer will no longer be allowed to plant or sell their corn within the country’s borders.

According to Environmental Food and Justice, Judge Jaime Eduardo Verdugo J. of the Twelfth Federal District Court for Civil Matters of Mexico City wrote that the genetically engineered corn posed ”the risk of imminent harm to the environment.”

Last July, a coalition of 53 groups and individuals, including scientists, activists and human rights groups, filed suit to block field trials of genetically modified corn planned by most of the major international corn seed companies in Mexico.

The ruling, which is a suspension, was considered a major victory for the groups because it was the first time Mexican courts were willing to weigh in on the debate over risks and benefits of this technology.

The judge cited the risk of imminent harm to the environment as the basis for his decision.

Mexico’s Secretary of Agriculture, Enrique Martinez y Martinez, told the newspaper, El Economista, that the agriculture department has always planned to base its decisions regarding the field testing of genetically modified corn based on scientific criteria. But, the delays and litigation is now in the hands of attorneys and, for the moment, there will be no more permits.

Depending on how the litigation plays out, and whether it becomes a trade issue, this latest development may actually increase U.S. corn exports to Mexico.

So without linking several articles it would appear Coast to Coast was correct by the way I read the links.
It has not been a good year for the GMO makers and exporters.

Supposedly as discussed on C2C the test for GMO lasted 90 days to see if there were harmful effects with mice. 90 days no problems, however, test where GMO was feed for 150 days the mice developed tumors. By the 3rd generation of the mice subjects, their fertility had been greatly reduced and in some cases they became sterile.. I have read and heard the same thing from different sources over the years.. I it true or just hype..?

The interviewee was named Ty Bollinger. He is an author and health freedom advocate. They talked about his upcoming book, Monumental Myths of the Medical Mafia and much of his research findings for his book.

Anyway for those who are interested if you can catch the broadcast on C2C it was .... Interesting ... Big money is made by having a patient for life and not curing. Fluoride and other topics of Big Farma and our food supply was discussed. Most people without to much effort can find the broadcast on you tube.. It is called Coast To Coast AM - 19 Oct 2013 - MIBs & Alien Implants - C2CAM

That is a pretty strong and rather surprising statement...
There are a lot of huge commercial farms down there, geared to produced food for the American markets and Monsanto is heavily vested in those outfits...

I bet ya anything they don't just take that order quietly...
Of course knowing how many of the corrupt officials work... Maybe this guy is just looking for a big bribe to rescind the ruling?

There goes NAFTA.

I wondered the same thing there is allot of cross border stuff (not counting the drugs and corruption) and if the makers of GMO get kicked out of Mexico there would be serious problems with U.S. exports to Mexico.. Maybe with money and political clout the ruling will get overturned? The C2C broadcast for the first hour was worth a hearing IMO

There won't be many problems with US > Mexico movement (every one loves hand-outs). There will be many with Mexico < US.

GMO is already there. Non-GMO crops are likely now or soon to be cross-bred with GMO.
Give a few years and they've effectively stolen the GMO traits, can claim contamination.

Sell to others... problem solved.

There are a number of studies linking GMOs to leaky gut syndrome, tumors, sterility, etc. These "crops" appear to be designed to create disease.

The trick is to read the studies carried out by people that are not on Monsanto's payroll. Monsanto has very deep pockets and they buy researchers, colleges, congressmen and other politicos by the dozen.

Score one for Mexico! I'm glad they have now joined the list of countries against GMO cultivation, even if limited to corn atm. Es un bueno dia por los gentes. Let's hope Washington state passes their labeling law and that other states in the US will follow suit soon.

Are folks placing bets yet as to how long he lives?

I pray angels protect him.

Sigh.
