New GM Crops Use RNA Interference Technology
for Mass Sterilization
By Christina Sarich
Gene silencing raised some eyebrows when it was first touted
just over a year ago, as the next “miracle” gene alteration technology. It was
developed with the ability to make “precise” insertions and deletions into a
plant’s genome. This new technology has been developed to utilize RNA
interference to block protein translation in a gene. It doesn’t sound so
ubiquitously perilous until you realize that the specific target is an insect’s
reproductive ability.
The technology, called RNAi for short, has been touted as a
“therapy,” ideologically promoted as a mechanism to silence unwanted genes that
can cause cancer and other diseases. This mechanistic scientific viewpoint is a
common feature of reductionist views which see the human being, and all of
nature as a machine which can be tampered with, without ever affecting its
constituent, interrelated parts.
The true intention for the use of this technology seems to
be quite different, though.
Genetic researchers are now weaponizing plants by
engineering them to have specific RNA fragments that shut down a target gene
sequence that allows insects to reproduce. All the insect has to do is eat the
plant, and they are rendered sterile.
Sterilizing the insects may seem harmless until you realize
that we are destined to eat those plants too, with the very same RNA insertions
that block reproductive success.
Plants just like people, can “turn off” one or more of their
genes by using a process called RNA interference to block protein translation.
On the surface, the technology was meant to sexually castrate beetles, moths,
worms, and other pests, the technology will also render beneficial insects
sterile, and the implications are that they could cause mass sterilization of
the human population as well.
This tactic is not outside the realm of previous genetic
modifications, anyhow. To wit:
Genetically
modified soy has been linked to the sterility of hamsters.
Drs. A. Velimirov,
C. Binter, and University Prof. Dr. J. Zentek released results of a long term
reproductive study on GMO fed mice. They examined the effects of a GMO corn
crop on 4 generations of mice, and found that the reproductive viability of
each generation fed GMOs worsened. There was a steady decline in the mice
litter size over time.
GMOS have caused
animal miscarriages in sheep, cows, pigs and other farm animals.
In humans, it is
likely that GMOS cause significant changes in endocrine metabolism, and cause
endometriosis, which leads to more miscarriages and birth defects.
Gender bending chemicals used heavily in GMO
crops are also associated with reduced fertility.
As the evidence that chemical pesticides and herbicides used
with GM crops causes major endocrine and reproductive damage, it seems the
geneticists are bent on finding another way to sterilize the masses. As usual
with this industry, there is little oversight and long-term testing to prove
that RNA interference won’t cause long-term damage to the genetic building
blocks of humans – or is that the entire point?
