MONSANTO'S DARK HISTORY 1901 - 2013 - PART VI

1970s: Monsanto was a pioneer of optoelectronics in the 1970s. Although Bock had a reputation for being a committed Monsanto executive, several factors contributed to his volatile term as president. Sales were up in 1970, but Bock's implementation of the 1971 reorganization caused a significant amount of friction among members of the board and senior management. In spite of the fact that this move, in which Monsanto separated the management of raw materials from Monsanto's subsidiaries, was widely praised by security analysts, Bock resigned from the presidency in February 1972.

1970: Cyclamate (the reigning low-calorie artificial sweetener) is pulled off the market in November after some scientists associate it with cancer. Questions are also raised about safety of saccharin, the only other artificial sweetener on the market, leaving the field wide open for aspartame.

December 18, 1970: Searle Company executives lay out a "Food and Drug Sweetener Strategy" that they feel will put the FDA into a positive frame of mind about aspartame. An internal policy memo describes psychological tactics Monsanto should use to bring the FDA into a subconscious spirit of participation" with them on aspartame and get FDA regulators into the "habit of saying Yes."

1971: Neuroscientist Dr. John Olney (whose pioneering work with monosodium glutamate MSG was responsible for having it removed from baby foods) informs Searle that his studies show that aspartic acid (one of the ingredients of aspartame) caused holes in the brains of infant mice. One of Searle's own researchers confirmed Dr. Olney's findings in a similar study.

 

1972: The use of DDT was banned by U.S. Congress, due in large part to efforts by environmentalists, who persisted in the challenge put forth by Rachel Carson's book Silent Spring in 1962, which sought to inform the public of the side effects associated with the insecticide, which had been much-welcomed in the fight against malaria-transmitting mosquitoes.

1973: Monsanto developed and patented the glyphosate molecule in the 1970s. Monsanto began manufacturing the herbicide Roundup, which has been marketed as a "safe", general-purpose herbicide for widespread commercial and consumer use, even though its key ingredient, glyphosate, is a highly toxic poison for animals and humans.

1973: After spending tens of millions of dollars conducting safety tests, the G.D. Searle Company applies for FDA approval and submits over 100 studies they claim support aspartame's safety. One of the first FDA scientists to review the aspartame safety data states that "the information provided (by Searle) is inadequate to permit an evaluation of the potential toxicity of aspartame". She says in her report that in order to be certain that aspartame is safe, further clinical tests are needed.

1974: Attorney Jim Turner (consumer advocate who was instrumental in getting cyclamate taken off the market) meets with Searle representatives in May to discuss Dr. Olney's 1971 study which showed that aspartic acid caused holes in the brains of infant mice.

1974: The FDA grants aspartame its first approval for restricted use in dry foods on July 26.

1974: Jim Turner and Dr. John Olney file the first objections against aspartame's approval in August.

1975: After a 9-month search, John W. Hanley, a former executive with Procter & Gamble, was chosen as president. Hanley also took over as chairperson.

1976: The success of the herbicide Lasso had turned around Monsanto's struggling Agriculture Division, and by the time Agent Orange was banned in the U.S. and Lasso was facing increasing criticism, Monsanto had developed the weedkiller "Roundup" (active ingredient: glyphosate) as a replacement. Launched in 1976, Roundup helped make Monsanto the world's largest producer of herbicides. RoundUp was commercialized, and became the world's top-selling herbicide. Within a few years of its 1976 launch, Roundup was being marketed in 115 countries.

The success of Roundup coincided with the recognition by Monsanto executives that they needed to radically transform a company increasingly under threat. According to a recent paper by Dominic Glover, "Monsanto had acquired a particularly unenviable reputation in this regard, as a major producer of both dioxins and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) - both persistent environmental pollutants posing serious risks to the environment and human health. Law suits and environmental clean-up costs began to cut into Monsanto's bottom line, but more seriously there was a real fear that a serious lapse could potentially bankrupt the company." According to Glover, Roundup "Sales grew by 20% in 1981 and as the company increased production it was soon Monsanto's most profitable product (Monsanto 1981, 1983)... It soon became the single most important product of Monsanto's agriculture division, which contributed about 20% of sales and around 45% of operating income to the company's balance sheet each year during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Today, glyphosate remains the world's biggest herbicide by volume of sales."

1976: Monsanto produces Cycle-Safe, the world's first plastic soft-drink bottle. The bottle, suspected of posing a cancer risk, is banned the following year by the Food and Drug Administration.

1976: Turner & Olney's petition on March 24 triggers an FDA investigation of the laboratory practices of aspartame's manufacturer, G.D. Searle. The investigation finds Searle's testing procedures shoddy, full of inaccuracies and "manipulated" test data. The investigators report they "had never seen anything as bad as Searle's testing."

January 10, 1977: The FDA formally requests the U.S. Attorney's office to begin grand jury proceedings to investigate whether indictments should be filed against Searle for knowingly misrepresenting findings and "concealing material facts and making false statements" in aspartame safety tests. This is the first time in the FDA's history that they request a criminal investigation of a manufacturer.

January 26, 1977: While the grand jury probe is underway, Sidley & Austin, the law firm representing Searle, begins job negotiations with the U.S. Attorney in charge of the investigation, Samuel Skinner.

March 8, 1977: G. D. Searle hires prominent Washington insider Donald Rumsfeld as the new CEO to try to turn the beleaguered company around. A former Member of Congress and Secretary of Defense in the Ford Administration, Rumsfeld brings in several of his Washington cronies as top management. Donald Rumsfeld followed Searle as CEO, and then as President of Searle from 1977-1985.

July 1, 1977: Samuel Skinner leaves the U.S. Attorney's office on July 1st and takes a job with Searle's law firm. (see Jan. 26th)

August 1, 1977: The Bressler Report, compiled by FDA investigators and headed by Jerome Bressler, is released. The report finds that 98 of the 196 animals died during one of Searle's studies and weren't autopsied until later dates, in some cases over one year after death. Many other errors and inconsistencies are noted. For example, a rat was reported alive, then dead, then alive, then dead again; a mass, a uterine polyp, and ovarian neoplasms were found in animals but not reported or diagnosed in Searle's reports.

December 8, 1977: U.S. Attorney Skinner's withdrawal and resignation stalls the Searle grand jury investigation for so long that the statue of limitations on the aspartame charges runs out. The grand jury investigation is dropped. (borderline treason)

1979: The FDA established a Public Board of Inquiry (PBOI) in June to rule on safety issues surrounding NutraSweet.

‘PRICE RISE’ IS KILLING INDIANS TO FILL COFFERS OF CONGRESS FOR 2014 ELECTION

 

Genocide under Prime Minister Manmohan Singh / Sonia Gandhi is in full swing!

Yes, this the Modern Genocide unlike Hitler’s Genocide in European Nations during the Second World War.

While Hitler’s Nazi killed innocents with bullets, Manmohan Singh is killing innocent Indians by snatching away every single morsel of food from every Indian’s plate with every single day of non-stop Price Rise of all the essential food commodities.

Yes, MMS even emulates Hitler’s famous Nazi salute wherever he goes!

Price Rise of food grains, vegetables and all other essentials have been rising at an alarming rate day in and day out ever since the Congress won the Second Term. This is happening when, since the last four years (2010 – 2013) India has had bountiful of monsoon. Agricultural Productivity since the last four years have been unprecedented excessive on a new record level…

So, why there is Price Rise? Why there is shortage of essential food items?

Very simply put, the forthcoming election and absence of a strong Opposition Party… Yes, neither the BJP, CPI or CPM, SP, BSP, DMK, TMC, NCP, Shiv Sena, MNS or hundreds of regional parties are really interested any more to bring solace to their own countrymen. Needless to say, every political party is filling their coffers with money, money and more money… Money, they can neither show openly to others; Money, they can never eat in their entire life; Money, they can never use or consume;

Is there really the “Shortage” as speculated by the Media houses time and again… Why the Opposition BJP in particular is silent on this SERIOUS issue? Why they have not overthrown MMS’ Govt long time back?

It shows, Congress have been buying BJP Ministers with loads of billions to buy their silence!

Truly, the Nation has gone to DOGS, shameless killer DOGS… who are all there just to bite and kill!

This year, the Onions’ Annual Production was more than the last year, so what made the rates to scale to a new heights of Rs. 100/- a Kg, when India has exported Onions @ Rs. 15/- a Kg to foreign countries?

For the first time in Indian History, Onions’ rates have not fallen from Rs. 50 to 60/- a Kg for the longest duration of three plus months!

And not a single Opposition Party has demanded seriously to see that rates of all essential food items should be brought to check… Ironical and a pity that we Indians are being ruled by none other but Indian Corrupt Breed of Politicians and Corporations… who are shameless, callous and killers!

Post Monsoon season, it is the period of bountiful of vegetables and food grains…. But prices instead of falling are rising higher and higher. WHY?

The Deadly Nexus between the Politicians, Corporations, Traders’ Lobby, Middlemen, Hoarders and not forgetting the MEDIA (who will speculate to help these goons to benefit, after all every Media Houses are owned by either Politicians or Corporate Houses) have created such a drastic situation for every Indian that putting a plate for decent meal has become real difficult… imagine how the poor must be living then?

Like majority of Indians, I also wish that these rotten politicians should rot in hell!
