Genetically modified foods such as soy and corn may be responsible for a
number of gluten-related maladies including intestinal disorders now
plaguing 18 million Americans, according to a new report released on
Tuesday.
The report was released by the Institute for Responsible
Technology (IRT), and cites authoritative data from the US Department
of Agriculture, US Environmental Protection Agency records, medical
journal reviews as well as international research.
"Gluten
sensitivity can range in severity from mild discomfort, such as gas and
bloating, to celiac disease, a serious autoimmune condition that can, if
undiagnosed, result in a 4-fold increase in death," said Jeffrey M.
Smith, executive director of IRT in a statement released on their
website.
Smith cited how a "possible environmental trigger may
be the introduction of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) to the
American food supply, which occurred in the mid-1990s," describing the
nine GM crops currently on the market.
In soy, corn, cotton
(oil), canola (oil), sugar from sugar beets, zucchini, yellow squash,
Hawaiian papaya, and alfalfa, "Bt-toxin, glyphosate, and other
components of GMOs, are linked to five conditions that may either
initiate or exacerbate gluten-related disorders," according to Smith.
It's
the BT-toxin in genetically modified foods which kills insects by
"puncturing holes in their cells." The toxin is present in 'every
kernel' of Bt-corn and survives human digestion, with a 2012 study
confirming that it punctures holes in human cells as well.

Michael Rivero on The Carbon Nazis
Michael Rivero is the webmaster of http://whatreallyhappened.com/ and host of the What Really Happened radio shows on the Republic Broadcasting Network. Formerly with NASA, Michael transitioned his image processing skills (along with a brief stint as an actor) into the then-new motion picture computer animation field and has worked on films such as "Star Trek", "The Day After Tomorrow", and has supervised visual effects on "Brainscan," "LOST", and "Hawaii Five-0." Michael has taken a sabbatical from film work to focus all his efforts on peace activism. Michaels foray into blogging began before the word was even invented, and happened almost by accident when he spotted a suspicious photograph being broadcast on ABC news in 1994 related to the death of White House deputy Council Vincent Foster. Since that sudden beginning, Michaels website has expanded to cover diverse topics including the JFK assassination, the accidental shoot-down of TWA 800, election fraud, health issues, Saddams non-existent nuclear weapons, 9-11, the economy, and of course, the lies used to trick the United States into wars of conquest on Afghanistan, Iraq, and now Iran. Michael resides in Hawaii with his wife Claire, who is a composer and creates much of theme music used on the What Really Happened radio show.
UFO hysteria in the United Kingdom
This show joins UFO researcher Nick Pope and investigates a recent wave
of UFO hysteria in the United Kingdom which started soon after the
Ministry of Defense released formerly classified documents in May 2008.
Nick Pope (born 19 September 1965) is a freelance British journalist and media commentator. He was an employee at the British Government's Ministry of Defence (MoD) from 1985 to 2006 and is best known for a project he worked on for the British Government from 1991 to 1994 which involved investigating reports of UFO sightings to determine their defence significance.
Declassification of UFO documents began by the United Kingdom in 2008. Russia, Ecuador, United States, France, Denmark, Brazil, Sweden, Canada and many countries follow that decision during 2009 making public all the material they had in possession. The government of New Zealand has stated that it will release UFO files in 2010 after personal information is removed.
Ministry of Defence
Pope joined the Ministry of Defence in 1985. After serving in a number of different posts, he was assigned in 1991 to a section of Secretariat (Air Staff) known as Sec (AS) 2a, where his duties included investigating reports of UFO sightings, to see if they had any defence significance.
At the time, while the Ministry of Defence stated that it "remains totally open-minded" about the existence or otherwise of extraterrestrial lifeforms", it also stated that there was no evidence to suggest that any UFO sightings posed any threat to the UK or that they were extraterrestrial in origin. It is clear from material that Pope wrote whilst still at the MoD that he did not share the MoD's view that conventional explanations could be found for all UFO sightings.
Pope's final posting in the MoD was to the Directorate of Defence Security. He resigned in 2006 and in 2009 MoD announced that UFO sightings would no longer be investigated.
Media work
In November 2006, he resigned from his post at the MOD, saying the government's "X-Files have been closed down." He continues his research and investigation in a private capacity and now works as a freelance journalist and media commentator, covering subjects that include the unexplained, conspiracy theories, space, science fiction and fringe science.
He does work for a number of film companies and PR agencies, promoting the release of science fiction films.
On 24 June 2013, he appeared on IGN's comedy show Up At Noon promoting the game The Bureau: XCOM Declassified.
Books
Open Skies, Closed Minds is Pope's autobiographical account of his interest in ufology. It provides an overview of the UFO phenomenon, with the emphasis on Pope's three-year tour of duty as the Ministry of Defence's UFO desk officer. Pope also discusses the politics surrounding the way in which those within government and the military view UFO-phenomena.
