There are plenty of unbiased studies showing GMOs present massive health risks to human beings. In fact, all studies not financed by GMO corporations show health hazards to humans, even some of the GMO company studies have been leaked showing health hazards, such as one by Syngenta.

So then why, when both non-GMO financed studies, as well as studies funded by GMO corporations, show potential health hazards to humans, does the corporate press and the political punditry, such as President Barack Obama, continue to insist that GMOs are harmless to human health? President Obama, ABC and the Oregonian news paper have all lied to us in recent months about this.
The answer may lay in the current mal-distribution of income that has overcome the United States during the last thirty-four years. More and more income is being redistributed via federal legislation from the 99 to the 1 percent. Recent studies show the 1 percent steal from 22 to 34 percent of all the income generated in the United States, compared to 8 percent thirty-four years ago, when the United States economy was far more robust than is the current case, because the 99 percent demanded goods and services they can no longer afford to purchase. During the last few years, the 1 percent have stolen 95 percent of all income growth, mostly via legislation championed by corrupt politicians, such as Wall Street senator’s Ron Wyden, Orrin Hatch and Mitch McConnell. Notice that all Republicans and a large contingent of Democrats support this maldistribution of income and wealth via federal legislation.
As income is being redistributed from the 99 to the 1 percent, the 99 percent have less income to purchase things, such as food.
The use of GMOs in agriculture is done for a simple purpose; it cuts costs, at the expense of human health, making food cheaper than using regular methods of agriculture.
Food companies often tend to conspire among each other to keep prices for the 99 percent rising, a necessary component of keeping corporate share prices growing. Otherwise, rich investors would sell off their shares, causing them to plummet in value, and jeopardizing the livelihoods of the CEO’s of food corporations. GMO’s help to mitigate the problem by increasing profit margins and allowing the executives to keep food price increases lower than would otherwise be the case.
There is a clear and corrupting link between big money, (as represented by Wall Street, major corporations and the 1 percent) and their abilities to purchase legislation in the political markets benefiting themselves, and at the expense of everybody else.
So it’s politically astute for politicians and the corporate press to lie to us about the health hazards of GMOs, because their use stave’s off food riots, and other politically unstable actions on the part of the 99 percent that would interrupt the continued flow of ill gotten cash and other forms of wealth by the 1 percent.
In other words, to keep the income redistribution from the 99 to the 1 percent scam going, the government and members of the 1 percent would rather slowly poison you with GMO food poison that is banned in over 40 nations.
