Russia warns Obama: global war over bee disappearance threatens
By Sorcha Faal, May 10, 2013
Alarming minutes of last week's meeting between President Vladimir Putin and US Secretary of State John Kerry reveal Russian leader's "extreme outrage" over Obama regime's protection of agrochemical giants Syngenta and Monsanto in the face of a "bee apocalypse" which the Kremlin warns "will most certainly lead" to a world war.
According to these minutes, published today in the Kremlin by the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Environment of the Russian Federation (MRNE), Putin was so angry at the Obama regime's refusal to discuss this very serious subject that he declined for three hours to receive Kerry, who had traveled to Moscow on a pre-arranged diplomatic mission, but changed his mind so as not to create an even greater split between the two nations.
At the center of this dispute between Russia and the United States, this DNRE report announces, is the "undisputed evidence" that a range of neuroactive insecticides linked to nicotine, known as neo-nicotinoids, destroy the bee population of our planet, which, left as is, could destroy our world's ability to grow enough food to feed its populations.
This situation has become so serious, reports the MRNE, that the European Commission as a whole last week instituted a two-year precautionary ban (to start on December 1, 2013) on the use of these "bee-killing pesticides. "following Switzerland, France, Italy, Russia, Slovenia and Ukraine, all of which had already banned the use of the most dangerous genetically modified organisms on the continent.
Two of the most feared neo-nicotinoids subject to this ban are Actara and Cruiser, manufactured by the Swiss multinational biotechnology company Syngenta AG, which employs more than 26000 people in more than 90 countries, having the third world market sales commercial agricultural seeds.
It is important to note, says this report, that Syngenta, along with bio-tech giants Monsanto, Bayer, Dow and DuPont now control almost 100% of the global market for pesticides and genetically modified seeds and plants.
Also relevant about Syngenta, the report continues, in 2012 Syngenta was convicted in Germany for having concealed the fact that its genetically modified maize kills cattle, and paid as compensation for a collective $ 105 million complaint in the United States following the discovery of the contamination of the drinking water of some 52 million US citizens in more than 2000 aquifers with its "gender changer" herbicide Atrazine.
