New cables 'expose' US govt lobbies worldwide for Monsanto, other GMO corps
Get short URL Published time: May 14, 2013 20:38

After US diplomatic cables released by WikiLeaks showed that the State Department was lobbying worldwide for Monsanto and other similar corporations, a new report based on the cables shows Washington's shilling for the biotech industry in distinct detail.

The August 2011 WikiLeaks revelations showed that American diplomats had requested funding to send lobbyists for the biotech industry to hold talks with politicians and agricultural officials in "target countries" in areas like Africa and Latin America, where genetically-modified crops were not yet a mainstay, as well as some European countries that have resisted the controversial agricultural practice.

After a concerted effort to "closely examine five years of State Department diplomatic cables from 2005 to 2009 to provide the first comprehensive analysis of the strategy, tactics and U.S. foreign policy objectives to foist pro-agricultural biotechnology policies worldwide," nonprofit consumer protection group Food & Water Watch published on Tuesday a report showing in plain detail the depth of the partnership between the federal government and a number of controversial biotech companies that have slowly but surely pushed their GMO products on a number of new countries in recent years.

Zone,

in most of them. most of them were already declassified; and the vast proportion of them were just nothing emails and exchanges. anything on the record like this can be verified easily. any of the released stuff so far adds up....but with a dump like that...there's still lots to go.

i don't have any confidence in assange or the network which carefully orchestrated the release of the "information"....since there was one group whose vital info was withheld.

Yeah,
I don't particularly have any confidence in Assange either.
But any documents than can be verified are cool.
