Russia Bans GM Crops

The Russian Government has decided to completely ban the use of any and all genetically modified ingredients in food production.
During an international conference on biotechnology, Deputy PM Arkady Dvorkovich stated:

“As far as genetically-modified organisms are concerned, we have made decision not to use any GMO in food productions.”

We all hate Monsanto, the Genetically Modified crops, the shady attempts at monopolizing the agriculture industry, the poisonous chemicals they peddle, the suicides of thousands of Indian farmers that they are “helping”, the long history of “not doing no evil”, and literally getting voted as the most evil corporation... It seems this hatred is shared by Russian President, Vladimir Putin has who has led a strong stance against biotech and their cultivation of GM crops in his country. Now, the Russian Deputy Prime Minister, Arkady Dvorkovich, has announced at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum that Russia WILL NOT use GM crops to boost agricultural production.

Dvorkovich stated that the good quality of the soil across Russia’s land will allow the country to use other technological advances in agriculture, but GMOs won’t be one of them.

“Russia has chosen a different path. We will not use these [GM] technologies,” he said.

Due to Russia refusing GM seed, Russian products will be “one of the cleanest in the world,” according to Dvorkovich.
Putin wasn’t bluffing when he stated that Russia must protect its citizens from over-consumption of products containing genetically modified organisms in 2014.

Putin believes that he can keep GMOs out of the country, while staying in compliance with the World Trade Organization’s (WTO) commandments. In a meeting addressing the members of the Board of the Russian Federation Council he stated:

“We need to properly construct our work so that it is not contrary to our obligations under the WTO. But even with this in mind, we nevertheless have legitimate methods and instruments to protect our own market, and above all citizens.”

The VP of Russia’s National Association for Genetic Safety, Irina Ermakova, has said:

“It is necessary to ban GMOs, to impose moratorium (on) it for 10 years. While GMOs will be prohibited, we can plan experiments, tests, or maybe even new methods of research could be developed. It has been proven that not only in Russia, but also in many other countries in the world, GMOs are dangerous. Methods of obtaining the GMOs are not perfect, therefore, at this stage, all GMOs are dangerous. Consumption and use of GMOs obtained in such way can lead to tumors, cancers and obesity among animals. Bio-technologies certainly should be developed, but GMOs should be stopped. We should stop it from spreading. ”

There are also now unconfirmed reports that Russia and Interpol have issued arrest warrants for two individuals who help maintain Monsanto’s power throughout the world: George Soros, who tried to get the Monsanto Protection Act passed, as well as a member of the Rothschild family. Bill Gates and George Soros purchased 900,000 and 500,000 shares of Monsanto, respectively, in 2010.
