“The US government is doing everything it can to push GMO seeds worldwide. When a country switches to using these Frankenseeds they have to purchase them every year basically putting them at the mercy of the US. We can tell any country using these seeds, “If you do anything we don’t like we won’t sell you seeds next year so you won’t be able to grow any of our toxic crops to feed your people “, diabolical isn’t it. They also know full well the health dangers of GMO crops but push them anyways which shows just how evil our government has become.”  Admin

The U.S. government, a revolving door for Big Agra’s biotech, is indeed bullying El Salvador into using genetically modified seeds just as current headlines suggest.

“‘I would like to tell the U.S. Ambassador to stop pressuring the Government (of El Salvador) to buy ‘improved’ GM seeds,’ said [President of the El Salvadoran Center for Appropriate Technologies (CESTA)] Navarro, which is only of benefit to U.S. multinationals and is to the detriment of local seed production,” reported Sustainable Pulse.

Through the Millennium Challenge Corporation, a self-described “independent U.S. foreign aid agency that is helping to lead the fight against global poverty,” created by Congress in 2004, $277 million in aid is being dangled over El Salvador’s head if, as the World War 4 Report puts it, “the Salvadoran Agriculture Ministry continues its current practice of buying seeds from small-scale Salvadoran producers for its Family Agriculture Plan.”

The threat was apparently made, “with clear intentions to advance the interests of transnational agricultural companies.”

While the practice of distributing seed packets from small Salvadoran producers (instead of multinational corporations like Monsanto) under the program has actually spurred the growth of basic food crops by a third, utilizing over 200,000 hectares for cultivation — thus achieving the exact goals that MCC’s entire existence is supposedly based on — nearly $300 million in aid might be withheld simply because El Salvador isn’t using Monsanto’s GMO seeds.

So which is it? Foreign aid or a corporate pay day?
