US Government to Europe: Give This to Your People Or There Will be “Some Pain”
A WikiLeaks release of U.S. diplomatic cables has revealed that the Bush administration planned ways to retaliate against Europe for its refusal to use genetically modified seeds.
According to Democracy Now:
“In 2007, then-U.S. ambassador to France Craig Stapleton was concerned about France’s decision to ban cultivation of genetically modified corn produced by biotech giant Monsanto. He also warned that a new French environmental review standard could spread anti-biotech policy across Europe …
In the leaked cable, Stapleton writes, quote, ‘… Moving to retaliation will make clear that the current path has real costs to EU interests and could help strengthen European pro-biotech voice.'”
Stapleton recommended retaliations that would cause “some pain” across the EU. Folks, this is pretty much conclusive proof that the U.S. government is working towards Monsanto’s pro-GM goals
