two thousand and ten i thought i'm going to sit down and figure this stuff i presume did you notice i said presumed not assume i presumed that all of the acres in the us would be planted to the latest and greatest technology seed for corn soybeans cotton canola and sugar beets and i figured those tech fees based on the planting rate in the given crops now planting rate was in the eighty to ninety percent tile range so my numbers are going to be a little bit high but i again to have consistency i wasn't going to guess at the planting rate i just said what if we planted one hundred percent that year in corn we had eighty seven point nine million acres of corn the technology for your the royalty per bag of corn amounted to sixteen dollars per acre the seed cost was only forty dollars year so figuring that at eighty seven point nine million acres that generated one hundred percent of the years again being planted five million two hundred seventy four million dollars check fee soybeans we had seventy eight point nine million acres the tech fee rate was twenty four dollars per acre that was just under one point nine billion dollars tech feet cotton we only had ten point nine million acres in the tech three was seventy eight dollars an acre so that added eight hundred fifty million the history on cotton seed i had the good pleasure of working in georgia from two thousand and ten to two thousand and twelve with cotton producers and i learned a lot  ninety three a fifty pound bag of cotton seed the retail price was forty five to sixty dollars per bag in two thousand and ten they no longer sold a fifty pound bag of cotton seed they're selling two hundred thirty thousand se and that bag would weigh from thirty eight to forty six pounds depending on the size of the c here's the breakdown on the price the seat cost is one fifty nine ninety nine per bag the technology fields four hundred twelve dollars and twenty cents per bag the seed treatment is one hundred twenty five dollars per bag this is a combination of insecticide and fungus site new matter site that they have to have on the seed because they have damage so many of the beneficial beneficial attributes in the soil they have every seed morn passed and fungal disease attacking new plants and they have to use the toxins to present a protective the total retail price the six hundred ninety seven dollars and one thousand since compared to sixty dollars in one thousand nine hundred three continuing on then with the total sugar beet we only had one point two million acres but it was eighty dollars acre so that ships in ninety six million canola we don't raise a lot of control in the united states a book of it of course is raised in your part of the country that was only seven and a half dollars an acre and the bulk of the canola is raised in just under eight point seven billion dollars worth of tech fee in one year for the united states alone that does not include seed fertilizer chemical or any other inputs that the farmer is going to purchase to raise a crop do you see a possible motivation we have been told by proponents of g m technology that this is just an excel aerated process of hybrid development that we've been doing for thousands of years it really upsets me when i hear that come from someone at one of our land grant universities who absolutely knows better now it's true we have been improving our genetics for thousands of years but the techniques that are used from genetic engineering haven't been used for thousands of years and i'll show you why and how it's absolutely true when they say this how does it work a foreign gene is shot or inserted into the d n a of that plant they have absolutely no control as to where it will end up when they do this insertion to this point in time with the technologies that have been implemented for the crops that we haven't production they may use a virus such as the cauliflower moves a virus they have to have a mechanism to get full infection of every cell of all of the d n a to get this expression they want the example would be i want a herbicide tolerant crop if i don't get full infection throughout that whole plant i could have that herbicide tolerance in the top part of the plant but not the bottom so i spray the herbicide in the top part lives and the bottom part dies we're in trouble in addition to that virus they will purposely develop a bacterium that is resistant to genet to antibiotics they have been genetically engineered antibiotic resistant bacteria  they insert that used as a marker to dictate where have we put this in the plan they will also use an agro bacterium an egg or bacterium is basically a cancer cell of the soil this is also used as an infection mechanism and they have also used kohl i components from e coli i to infect and get this establishment of this characteristic in the plant the european food safety authority analyzed eighty five different genetically engineered crops for the presence of a foreign virus they documented that fifty four of these eighty five had a foreign virus and to present it in the cruft i had the good fortune fortune of having a molecular biologist attend the meeting i didn't the chance of getting lost in the same place twice was one in one hundred thousand and she said to me howard i would like to add to that i would like to correct you i said i'm all ears she sent me th slide and she sent me the math of the next page that she uses to illustrate the accuracy of the insertion of the foreign gene that is conducted in every genetically engineered crop i'm not going to go through all the numbers i'm just going to go straight to the bottom ok she has what they it's she uses that illustrates it as a groupie gene well the reason that that would be very applicable is the presence of all the infection mechanisms that they have there is from a thousand to ten thousand d n a fragments per cell you got to get all this cover so when you do the math and she did it and i won't bore you with but she actually gave me a more updated figure after she sent this because she says she sent me another e mail she says i got to thinking about this i didn't go high but i stayed with the trillion because everybody's for million of that that's what our deficit is so we're you know that number oh well one in a trillion or one in one hundred trillion is the percentage chance that you're going to get that placed in the same spot and you're going to see pretty quickly why that's important every time there's a new genetically engineered crop development developed there's the possibility and the presen new novel or foreign protein as a result what's the effect of this well first of all let's think a little bit what is the goal of raising crops to provide a food source for mammals so how many mammals are there there are fifty three hundred ninety nine other subjects in this experiment with you and i were the two l version side effects as i mentioned in one thousand nine hundred two i had the good fortune of starting to work with farmers all across the country customers in crop and livestock production in twelve states a customer in nebraska was convinced by a seat salesman to plant his first bt corn he planted enough to where he could fill one grain bin so he could keep it separate he went to grind feed for his solace in the ration was for the conception ration he was going to turn into the bore in and have them bread he was used to a ninety five to ninety eight percent conception rate on h ration his conception rate dropped to sixty five percent had a thirty percent reduction in his conception rate he called the vet the vet came out they did blood tests on the side they checked the feet for mold and mi couldn't figure enough he called me and he said what do you think i said don't feed the bt we've heard some issues so he took it out of the ration he went back to the conventional corners conception rate went back to ninety five to ninety eight percent he went along fine and he thought i really need to pull some corn out of the bin again that probably won't happen again so he ground from that bt be on again the second time misconception rate drop seventy percent that was the last time he ever used bt corn in a sour ration in south dakota we had a different operation with a different bt core they had it explicit records everything was computerized they knew every pound of this and that that went everywhere they knew their production records if they didn't have such a tight production control on everything they might have what happened to them when they fed bt their litter averageness was down one point six pigs per litter the weight of the piglets when they were born was also lighter we go to west central iowa a different bt corps this gentleman planted the bulk of his whole farm to it because the seed salesman said it's the thing that you want and need the only thing he had was his buffer corn which was very diluted in the mixture of all this he had something known as pseudo pregnancies the sols appeared to conceive they would go full term and upon delivery all they delivered was a sack of water in the after birth the vet nurse started working on this problem they got the university involved they couldn't figure out what was wrong they did blood work they tested the feed they checked for everything under the sun he was a far barrel member the farm bureau spokesman came out and did a story on his problem with his livestock when that article came out in the farm spokesman he starts getting phone calls from farmers in the surrounding counties they were all having the same problem at varying degrees as if farmers put their heads together they realized they were all feeding the exact same bt corn to their silos when they had the problem the university was unable to find any possible connection between the corn and the problem but when all the farmers quit using that bt corn the problem went away in our part of vile when the genetically engineered food stuffs went into the ration we saw illy itis salmonella and bloody ba we also saw consistent immune system disorders in these pigs this form protein that is the result of every genetically engineered crop can have a devastating effect in that there's justice system or a subtle effect depending on the host mammal we have seen it consistently cause severe information the immune system now your immune system is your defense mechanism your do get your immune system is supposed to protect you seventy to eighty percent of the cells of your immune gonna throw up one in there once and you have consumed something that i have identified as a form protein and it just happens to be this post it is my job to protect you twenty four seven three sixty five now i want you to imagine you leave here and you come back in ten minutes before tomorrow what is going to happen to my strength in that time period are we seeing an increase in auto immune diseases in our country eighty plus percent of the food supply contains ingredients from genetically engineered crops containing four protein you know anyone with an issue related to the immune system that brings me to a point in time that i'm going to show you some pictures of hog stomachs the pictures are a little graphic but no one has ever passed out these ladies thought they had to come back for more from last night so eight miles up the road from my place there's a processing plant known as super pac and they do custom processing for a whole bunch of different niche pork companies many of which they were drug free but in their drug free program they had no restrictions on feeding genetically engineered feed it at the time i took these pictures seventy five eighty percent of the corn in our area was genetically engineered and eighty five to ninety percent of the soil was genetically engineered so it was safe to presume that they were eating genetically engineer we went to the plant to take the tour dr maguire was a veterinarian that gave us the tour of the plant and while we were waiting for him to come to the conference room i was talking the plant manager and he says what's different about your natural for compared to everybody else's and i said well we don't use antibiotics we don't use hormones we don't use animal by products which was the same as everybody else and some we do special things to the soil in and prove there's no chemical residue in the soil and no chemical residue in the crop and we absolutely would not have anything to a genetically engineered crops as i made that statement dr maguire walked in and then i went on to explain the potential development of the irritation inflammation are also rationed as a result of these four proteins and dr mcguire got a real funny look on his face and you know i'm i have that effect on people so i just kind of slough it off he took us through that plant and he showed us everything they do with every single hog at one point in time we go through this door he turns in he washes his hands in the sink and he sprays disinfecting on his hand and he picks a hog stomach out of the container that they were in and holds it up so that i could see the fun to stand but i work for a veterinary for eight years when i got out of high school sauce for miller with what the inside of an animal looked like right away i saw that your taishan information even though that stomach wasn't opened up so they allowed me to come back and take pictures of hog stomachs i took ten pitchers of hog stomachs from our program that was multigenerational lol g m o's and drug free i took ten pictures of what i'll call a natural which was a drug free program but no restrictions on g m o's ten pictures of it being natural which was drug free no restrictions on g m o's and ten pictures of hog stomachs from pigs that were fed antibiotics the majority of their life time i have put two of each in here for the sake of brevity dr newman is the veteran i worked for for eight years he was semi retired at this point in time and he was the only person of the vets that i showed these pictures to that knew what a healthy hog stomach with was looked like because the other vets that i show these pictures to that had the redness had been seeing it for the previous ten years so if you see stuff all the time what do you call it this is the first one of the healthy hog stomach noticed the overall skin tone color of that stomach this yellow over here is normal that will be present at varying degrees in some or more of the pictures and that is there is a result of the acids still being produced but there's no feed there to digest this is the second one of the ten on our program there's a little bit here tayshaun right in this area right here you can see some slight pain this is one that is very representative of all the a natural you could see the overall pronounced irritation information and there is a pinpoint also are right there this is the worst one of the a natural the irritation information is turnout confined to this area and there are some there is pinpoint also as here here and here in about a three to four centimeter also there this is one that is representative of the be natural this is the worst one of them being natural as you can see the overall information is worse pinpoint also pinpoint all another series here so there are some down here in about there's about a five to six centimeter also this is one that is pretty representative of the antibiotic fed hawks you notice how it has a pale appearance compared to the others dr mcguire was quick to point out to me the benefit of the antibiotic it will reduce the irritation inflammation but there isn't also are dead center it still didn't stop the full potential effect of that for protein this is the worst one of the drug free on earth and a bot it fed animals that we took a picture of i called all of this information that we had i've shared with you up to this point in time coincidental and circumstantial i was working with dr ingham that time on many soil projects and i told her about this and she said howard that anecdotal from a scientific viewpoint now take it to the next level and set up the protocols and do the scientific study so we did it the good lord saw fit for me to connect with the scientists from australia dr judy carman she is the lead scientist on this the scientific study that was published in a peer reviewed journal in june of this year the journal of organic systems we took eighty four pigs right off their mother when they were weaned and they went on not g m corn and soy we took an equal number of male and female same size pigs eighty four and put them on jubal corn and soy and they were fed all those rations until the day they were harvested as a meat animal when they were harvested we collected all of their organs and all of the end trails in the animal and we took it off site and we had to license practicing very experienced veterinarians do an autopsy on everything we weighed all the organs of all the animals we collected all this data and dr carmen put it into the scientific statistical for i hate them number so i don't even try to remember that form that she said and this is an example of what we saw of one of the non g m fed stomachs as you see its overall appearance is the skin tone color i will tell you that the pigs that we used were from a herd that were on g m feed because we couldn't find the volume we needed in a non g m environment these pigs also had a purse it's p r r s all in capital letters that stands for poor seeing respiratory reproductive syndrome the vet  areas that are familiar with purrs and know a thing or two about human health and by the way our digestive systems are just about identical to that of a pig hers is almost identical to aids i know a gentleman and and the purse condition is prevalent throughout the pork industry in the united states i do a gentleman in southwest minnesota that has not fed g m o since two thousand and three he is the only person in his neighborhood with a feral to finish hog operation that has never had to repopulate is heard one two or three times because a person they tell every one person is an airborne disease and you have to have a fifty thousand dollars ventilation system on your buildings to protect your animals you could throw a cat through the side of some of his buildings in that solve airtight they are he's never had purse what happens when you a challenge an immune system kind of like going up against a pole isn't another one of the gee i'm not g m fed excuse me there is some irritation information which there was  we used no antibiotics in this study we had a thirteen percent death loss and the industry claimed that we were terrible caretakers and we had bad husband because we had a thirteen  percent loss well we did say we had an antibiotic free program but the science of the study explained everything we put in the feed there was no add about it's listed there so it was written down but they just didn't catch it typical death loss for purse would be twenty five to thirty percent in a non antibiotic environment we only had thirteen percent this is an example of the severe inflammation that but we had a high incidence of that severe inflammation the statistical fine it's the genetically engineered fed animals were two point six times or two hundred sixty percent more likely to have severe inflammation in their stomach of that the males were four hundred percent more likely in the females were two hundred twenty percent more likely the other significant statistical finding that if we would have we would have been prepared and saved all the uterus for further histological research but remember i talked about conception issues and the jest of issues that led us to doing a study i've asked dr carmen she's an epidemiologist i says what could this year wait differentiation mean she says well the first thing you think of as information and swelling and then she went on to quote how many different names of how many different conditions that the name is that long and i don't try to remember the thing that was the most interesting to me not being a scientist was the anecdotal information that we have observed and were prepared
