The GMOs Poison that NRM Caucus wants Ugandans to eat & drink: How they plan to destroy Uganda completely before they leave power

HOW NRM HAS SENTENCED UGANDANS TO DEATH USING GMOs / By Daily Monitor "NRM caucus backs GMOs" read more

400 organizations have petitioned  African Union parliament over GMOs Click for more here

1. GMOs refers to ‘Genetically Modified Organisms’, which are artificial genes manufactured in laboratories and inserted into any body system (DNA) of plants, seeds, crops, animals, humans, marine organisms, etc. They are promoted by US based institutions.

2. GMOs are artificial toxins that are harmful to plants, seeds, food, animals, herbal plants, humans, children, pregnant mothers, elderly, and all living things in Uganda and the entire mother Earth.

3. GMOs all over the world are feared, have been totally refused in many countries such as Germany, Britain, Russia, Kenya, Zambia, to mention but a few. (See Case Stories below)

4. Uganda cannot export GMO products such as banana, coffee, cotton, beans to Europe, Middle East, USA, etc yet to develop a country has to export more.

5. GMO/Biosafety bill has been rushed and promoters want the bill to become a law so quickly, so as to protect their ‘selfish interests’ against the life of Ugandans.

6.    GMOs in Kenya were totally refused, even when they had passed the GMO/Biosafety law after 3 years.

7. GMOs have been planted allover Uganda unknowingly, but are so toxic to human body, soil, plants, seeds, blood, stomach, etc. GMOs will make us depend on pesticides forever.
   

Example 1

TOXIC Bt MON810 MAIZE DONATED BY MONSATO THROUGH Water Efficient Maize for Africa (WEMA)

BT Maize variety called MON810 was sneaked into Uganda through a royalty free donation by a little known charity called the Water Efficient Maize for Africa (WEMA) project started by Bill Gates. Monsanto donated MON810 to WEMA before they donated it to Uganda. This is the same variety that failed hopelessly in South Africa, even the farmers rejected it last year 2013. It contains two deadly toxins called Cry1A.105 and Cry2Ab, with a mixture of Agent Orange chemical that was used as bio-weapon against Vietnamese. The promoters claim its drought tolerant, and they want it adopted into the drought resistant varieties Uganda has. Currently the Bt MON810 maize variety is under trial (both open and CFT  trials) in 6 sites around the country. One in Kyoga basin, 3 in Buganda region, 1 in Kabarole region and 1 in Ankole-Kigezi region.

8. GMOs are not safe to eat and cause cancer, infertility in both men and women, destruction of sperms, nutritional deficiencies, hormone disruption, Obesity, Reproductive disorders, Birth defects, shorter life spans, loss of immunity, antibiotic resistance, digestive problems, disease outbreaks due to mutation, sluggishness, laziness, Endocrine disruption, Food Allergies, Emergency of super weeds and pest (which are even resistant to Round-up, a Monsato produced pesticide for tomatoes used even in Uganda); Decline and destruction of self sufficient farms; General economic harm to small holder farmers hence poverty and blame to government.

9. GMOs patents are owned by USA companies such as Monsato, and if openly promoted in Uganda everybody will pay for them in terms of seed price, food price, pesticide price, herbicides price, the chain is endless.

10. GMO can never cause increased farm production, and many Ugandan farmers cannot afford to buy seeds

11. GMO companies want to sell the GMO seed, pesticides, herbicides without anyone else. They will only deal with distributors and traders.

12. Whoever owns a SEED, owns FOOD, controls HUMAN BEINGS and owns the WORLD.

13. GMO lead to contamination of the surrounding crops, animals, human beings, blood, brain, etc

14. GMO will destroy local crops, wild animals, plants, crops such as indigenous bananas in Buganda such as MUVUMBO, NAKITEBE, BWANZIRUME,

15. GMO technology is so expensive for Uganda, and GMOs are not a national priority.

16. GMOs have never ended poverty, instead they increase enslavement, neo-colonialism and loss of human security and national independence.

17. When Zambia refused GMO food (maize corn), USA GMO promoters abused Zambians, that “Beggars can’t be choosers”.

18. GMO promoters in Uganda do not tell people the various BAD effects of GMOs, which are so many to count. They only say the GOOD things which are not more than 5. These are that GMO increase food, reduce poverty, improve nutrition, improve health, and increase income. When asked about BAD effects, they shy away and only invite scientists who support GMO to make presentations.

There are many factors why we don’t support this bill / law at all. If Parliament passes the bill, there will be overwhelming political consequences associated with hatred and blame to all political leaders, irrespective of political party.

Cases stories on GMO bans and anti legislations

March 2014	South Africa GMO maize trials failed hopelessly as a result of massive insect resistance, after only 15 years of its introduction into commercial agriculture. Monsanto had to compensate South African farmers. MON810 has now collapsed in South Africa and has been replaced with Monsanto’s GM stacked variety called MON8903, which contains toxic cry proteins, Cry1A.105 and Cry2Ab. I don’t know why they call it CRY. MON810 was donated to Uganda by WEMA (Water Efficient Maize for Africa) Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) of South Africa ordered Monsanto to immediately withdraw an unsubstantiated radio ad on the benefits of crops containing genetically modified organisms (GMOs), Ads played by Radio 702 Several protests have sprung up across South Africa that question the safety of GMO foods and crops. Monsanto has already been warned by the ASA as far back as 2007. BECOME A MEMBER OF UGANDA YOUTH PLATFORM
March 2014	France[i] Bans GMO Bt maize in February 2008 Map of trials in Uganda France’s agriculture ministry banned the sale, use and cultivation GMOs including Monsanto’s MON 810[1] genetically engineered (GE) corn—the only variety that has been authorized in the European Union (EU).

Uganda) results in reproductive damage as well as damage to the kidney and liver, and some studies show a link between the chemical and cancer (By Women’s Cancer Resource Center (WCRC) and CHOSE (Coalition for a Healthy Oakland School Environment-USA)

As ANTI-GMO ACTIVISTS led by Uganda Youth Platform, we want the Parliament of Uganda to do the following:

1)   To totally withdraw, drop, archive or store the proposal to pass the GMO/BIO-SAFETY BILL.

BECOME A MEMBER OF UGANDA YOUTH PLATFORM

2)   To educate and sensitize people about the GOOD and BAD of GMOs in all the 115 districts of Uganda, and involve Religious, cultural, farmers, youth fraternities.

3)   To STOP any GMO related research, demonstration or trials in Uganda for the time being, and investigate Uganda National Genetic Resource Bank-Entebbe, NARO-Kawanda, Ugandan National Council of Science and Technology, Uganda Biotechnology Biosafety Consortium, several companies and organizations engaged in agriculture, seeds, pesticides, herbicides, and chemicals.

4)   The Cabinet and President to undertake a detailed inquiry into the GMO matters to deeply understand and measure the magnitude of GMO in the country, and endorse total ban of GMOs in the country including supermarkets.

5)   To SHUT DOWN all GMO related experiments, field trials, GMO genetic resource banks, and BAN importation of all GMO products.
