[edit] inleiding van het NPG
- Monsanto roept feitelijk dat alles wat is gedaan wordt gecontroleerd door de EG.
Afschuiven van verantwoording wordt dat genoemd.
- opvallend is dat Monsanto weinig in gaat op de conclusies zoals genoemd in eerdere persberichten waaronder; kleinere nieren en afwijkingen in het bloed.
E.e.a. ontaard (opnieuw) in administratieve spelletjes tussen wat wel en niet goed onderzocht zou zijn. De geschiedenis van de gentechnologie kent meer van dit soort voorbeelden... Wie onderzoekt er objectief als regelmatig blijkt dat een groot aantal wetenschappers wel erg nauwe banden (en belangen ) hebben met de gentechindustrie.. Dubbelblind en openbaar onderzoek, me de camera er bij, zou hier wel eens een uitkomst kunnen zijn... Erg wetenschappelijk komt de presentatie zoals door Monsanto genoemd niet over. Het is een tegenonderzoek. Een tegenonderzoek is makkelijk geproduceerd, maar ligt de waarheid hierbij ook in het midden ?
- is iemand die op komt voor de natuur een milieu extremist die tegen economische ontwikkeling zou zijn? "Economische sabotage door milieu extremisten" schrijft Monsanto in zijn mail.
- Extremisme valt waarschijnlijk nooit goed te praten maar hoe zit dat met structurele vernietiging van de biodiversiteit, het onvolledig voorlichten van bevolking, boeren en politiek, en het voorschilderen van de voordelen zonder bijvoorbeeld te praten over de eigendommen?
- Wanneer je er vanuit gaat dat 0,9% vervuiling zometeen overal is toegestaan ten aanzien van gentechsporen in gewassen en voeding, zou Monsanto tegen alles en iedereen procedures mogen beginnen wegens het schenden van patenten....? Is dat een logische democratische en menselijke werkwijze?
- Laat Monsanto eerst maar aansprakelijk zijn voor haar eigen werk en de gevolgen hiervan.
Deze aansprakelijkheid proberen af te schuiven lijkt een structurele werkwijze van de gentechindustrie te worden. Economische belangen kunnen niet altijd op de voorgrond staan. Feitelijk hebben we het hier over ontaarding van de democratie. kijk ook op;
