nanotransformation is "psychobabble double talk"?
lets explore that..shall we? [/fairy godmother]
nanotransformation:
nano : size below 100 nanometers [nm] [sub micron scale..1/10 micron and smaller]
transformation: change. [easy enough to understand.]
life being changed at the nano scale.
the scale of DNA. [dna molecules ..base pairs..less than 3nm in size.]
plasmids..tiny bits of dna code..used by some bacteria to effect changes
in other life [plants..other bacteria..] are also quite small..a few nm.
Monsanto, Bayer..others..have been changing dna in plants for many years.
Moving bits of dna from other plants..bacteria..fungi..and forcing it into
the genetic code of other plants..is changing life..transforming life..at the
nano scale.
nanotransformation. permanent changes to the programs of lifeforms.
doesn't sound like "psycho babble" to me.
All quite logical. [..criminal perhaps..but a predictable result of foolish
tinkering ..driven by greed.]
the basis of genetically modified organisms. GMO.
and it works. Hardly a "scam"
Those who hold the patents are racking in billions.
last year (2009) 91 percent of the soybeans in the usa were gmo.
85 % of the corn. 88% of the cotton. [1]
..so..is Monsanto a "scammer"? Their product works..as advertised.
To a point. Works even "better" than advertised. It wont stop at the
"target" plant. The soybeans leave Monsanto with the gene for Roundup
resistance..
Now..the very weeds that the Roundup herbicide is designed to kill..are
also developing resistance..to Roundup. Cross pollination. The modified
soy dna is cross pollinating with the "natural" weeds. Super weeds. Ooops..
Similar story with Bayer and their "herbicide resistant" rice...that cross pollinated with "natural" rice..and managed to get usa rice crops banned in
Europe. Oops again.
..or the Native mexican corn species that are being cross pollinated by
usa gmo corn . So much for attempts by Mexico to "just say no to GMO".
They can't stop the invaders...due to international trade treaties..they
cannot stop american [contaminated] corn at the border. Heavily subsidized
by usa..it's 1/4 the cost of native mexican corn. People buy it..eat it..
drop it on the ground..plant it..the gmo corn grows..and scatters it's
pollen to the winds.
All of the thousands of "heritage" species of corn may be doomed..by
Monsanto's tinkering in nanotech. GMO corn being found Mexican
interior...hybridized native corn species..this could all end very badly.
..oh..Monsanto doesn't need to make up a word so that folks think
that "they know what they are talking about".
They make up a whole new ecosystem.
One that requires an expensive
set of license fees to use...and destroys all other life...all life that did
not come from Monsanto engineering.
Monsanto Nanotechnology
"you are in OUR world now".
