Donation protected

On Friday November 14, 2014  Weekly Women's GMO Free News  LIVE streamed through YouTube  for over 2 hours an interactive panel discussion with four scientists regarding Dr. Nancy Swanson 's peer reviewed paper in the Journal of Organic Systems entitled,  "GMO Crops, Glyphosate and the deterioration of health in the United States of American ".

WWGF News Panel:
Dr. Stephanie Seneff , MIT Senior Research Scientist
Dr. Nancy Swanson, Retired United States Navy staff scientist, author
Dr. Anthony Samsel , Retired Science Consultant
Dr. Don M. Huber , Professor Emeritus, Purdue University
Kathleen Hallal, Moderator
Jack Olmsted, Producer

Technology Need
Dr. Don Huber and Dr. Nancy Swanson joined the educational video chat session via phone because they do not have the technology to participate directly in the GoogleHangout session.

Health Issues
Due to health concerns, Dr. Huber and Dr. Swanson are unable to travel.  On October 7, 2014,  Dr. Huber was struck by a car, braking three ribs and his tailbone. 

WWGF News Fund Raising Mission
We are raising funds to provide Chromebooks and technology support for Dr. Huber, Dr. Swanson and other retired scientists educating the public regarding GMO food production, pesticides and the lack of corporate oversight by US government agencies. On our list are two retired scientists from the US Environmental Protection Agency: Dr. Ray Seilder  and E.G. Vallianatos , the author of "Poison Spring".

The technology upgrades will allow these retired, BRAVE and selfless scientists to participate in future LIVE streamed video panel discussions, attend national and international conferences virtually and collaborate more efficiency with each other.  

LIVE Streaming Series - Scientifically Speaking: Are GMOs Safe? NO
On January 16th, WWGF News is launching an online interactive live video streamed educational scientific news discussion series. Update information will be posted on our social networks.

January 2011: Letter to USDA Secretary Vilsack from Dr. Huber – Roundup May Be Causing Animal Miscarriages and Infertility

I have studied plant pathogens for more than 50 years. We are now seeing an unprecedented trend of increasing plant and animal diseases and disorders. This pathogen may be instrumental to understanding and solving this problem. It deserves immediate attention with significant resources to avoid a general collapse of our critical agricultural infrastructure.

Sincerely,

COL (Ret.) Don M. Huber
Emeritus Professor, Purdue University
APS Coordinator, USDA National Plant Disease Recovery System (NPDRS)

Scientist Statement
“When all scientists who dare to live up to their noble profession's highest standards and tell the truth have been eliminated ... it will be too late to act.”

These are the words of the first scientist, Dr. Arpad Pusztai , who found evidence of harm from GM and who tried to warn the world about it. Since then, many more honest scientists have suffered the same fate, but we have a democratic right to demand the truth.  Read More

Support Scientists Speaking Out
The Biotech industry claims that there is no real science questioning the safety of GMOs. Let’s fight this untruth by giving those scientists who are brave enough to speak out a voice!

Independent scientists do not have cushy chemical industry jobs. They live conservatively, and they need the means to get the word out about what they know to be true.

Please contribute to the fund to provide them with the means to get the word out!

Donation List
The first to receive Chrombooks: Dr. Don Huber, Dr. Nancy Swanson and Farmer Howard Vlieger .

Why Retired Scientists Are Doing GMO Research and Speaking Out (Transcript Excerpt Page 16 )
Dr Judy Carman: Most people would probably choose to look after their families [rather] than to continue on with the research. Not only is it very hard to get money to be able to do the research, but you have to be able to
survive the abuse you get afterwards and the threats to your livelihood afterwards. In fact, a lot of people
who work in this area are people who are retired from paid employment, because once again, they can’t
be threatened with losing their livelihood.

Dr. Mercola: You’re the exact opposite of these tech companies that are seeking to sell this stuff. I mean, they’re doing it for enormous financial gain, implementing these very clever and sophisticated strategies to prevent anyone from interfering with their operation. And here you are, doing it for the exact opposite.

You’re losing finances. You’re basically volunteering your efforts and very little income, just your
retirement income. That’s a very noble gesture. You probably should be eligible for sainthood for that.

JC: Thank you for that.

DM: I mean, really. There are not many people willing to go to that extent. I don’t know your personal
circumstances, but it’s a challenge. It really is a massive barrier for many researchers participating in this
process, because they have obligations.

I can’t fault them for that. You can’t. I mean, how can you?

They’ve got to take care of their family. That’s a really high priority before you can take care of the
culture, the larger culture. Thank you for having the courage to do that, and the commitment and
dedication, because it certainly takes that to pursue what you’re doing. There are not many people doing
it. Thanks a lot.

JC: Thank you very much indeed.
