”New Scientist plants false story that Pope approves GM crops”

Talk about psyops. If you can’t get the people to eat your dangerous, unwanted frankenfoods, just lie and say the Pope approves it. On November 30, the magazine, New Scientist, published “Vatican scientists urge support for engineered crops,” which the Vatican immediately denied. 談及心理戰行動，如果你不能令人們吃你的危險、有害的科學怪人食物，只好撒謊並說教宗批准它。 在11月30日，新科學家雜誌出版“梵蒂岡科學家催促支持工程作物”，那被梵蒂岡立即否認。
“The Vatican did not endorse an 11-page final statement in favor of easing restrictions on and allowing more widespread use of genetically modified crops, especially in poorer nations,” a Vatican official said in a statement published by Catholic News Service.
“梵蒂岡沒有簽署一份11頁的最後聲明，贊成放寬限制在及容許更廣泛地使用轉基因作物，特別是在較貧窮的國家，”一位梵蒂岡官員在一份公教新聞社出版的聲明中說。
In fact, “the Vatican has never taken a formal position supporting or opposing genetically modified foods,” reported CNS.
事實上，“梵蒂岡從來沒有一個正式的立場，支持或反對轉基因食品”CNS報導。
The study group who issued the report mostly include people with financial ties to genetically modified foods. Four employees of Monsanto graced that panel.
發表報告的研究小組主要包括有財務聯繫至轉基因食品的人，四名孟山都的僱員蒞臨該小組。
There are an estimated 1.2 billion Catholics in the world who now have more reason to distrust biotech scientists.
估計有12億天主教徒在世界各地，他們現在有更多的理由不信任生物技術科學家。
The New Scientist also quoted an outrageous lie by one of the report scientists:
新科學家亦援引了一個由報告的科學家的無恥謊言：
“There has not been a single documented case of harm to consumers or the environment,” says Potrykus.
“一直未有單一的記錄個案件是損害消費者或者環境，” Potrykus說。
It then links to a 2005 article which says the opposite. Whatever. Ingo Potrykus is a Swiss scientist who developed a variety of GM rice.
然後它鏈接到一份2005年的文章，說相反的。不管怎樣，Ingo Potrykus是一位瑞士科學家，他開發多種的轉基因水稻。
There are numerous scientific studies condemning the use of GM foods which have been linked to organ damage and sterility in mammals, while others correlate rising diabetes and obesity rates with GMO introduction. There’s also the question of allergic reaction to GM foods, proof of which is hidden by lack of labeling.
GM crops (trees, too) are genetically modified to produce or tolerate pesticides. Glyphosate, the main ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup, has been linked to birth defects, cancer and miscarriages in humans. Pesticides are suspected in causing or contributing to mass bee, bat and butterfly die-off, as well as a pandemic amphibian decline. Their use is also linked to 11 million acres of superweeds in the U.S.
Finally, GM crops cannot be contained. They’ve spread in nations all over the world, even becoming established in the wild.
For any scientist to say that no environmental damage is linked to GM crops is unconscionable. Given the biotech industry’s penchant for suppressing science, it’s not surprising to find them extending their lies to the social realm.
Confronting the oft-quoted malarky that GM crops can solve world hunger, CNS reported:
“The Vatican newspaper, L’Osservatore Romano, said earlier this year that it was not a coincidence that in 2009 the use of genetically modified food crops grew by 13 percent in developing countries and that GM crops covered almost half of the world’s total arable land. And yet ‘the number of hungry people in the world has for the first time reached 1 billion people,’ the paper said.”
CNS further noted that, “Pope Benedict XVI has denounced the continued scandal of hunger in the world, saying its root causes have more to do with problems of distribution and sharing than with there not being enough food in the world.”
