105 Scientists Slam GMO-Rat-Study Retraction

What kind of hornet’s nest was opened up for the GM industry in view of the retraction of the two year "Long term toxicity of a Roundup herbicide and a Roundup-tolerant genetically modified maize", by G E Séralini et al, published in Food and Chemical Toxicology 2012, 50(11), 4221-31?
According to the article published December 5, 2013 in the Ecologist,

This arbitrary, groundless retraction of a published, thoroughly peer-reviewed paper is without precedent in the history of scientific publishing, and raises grave concerns over the integrity and impartiality of science. These concerns are heightened by a sequence of events surrounding the retraction: 
  • the appointment of ex-Monsanto employee Richard Goodman to the newly created post of associate editor for biotechnology at FCT
  • the retraction of another study finding potentially harmful effects from GMOs (which almost immediately appeared in another journal) 
  • the failure to retract a paper published by Monsanto scientists in the same journal in 2004, for which a gross error has been identified.

Is anyone surprised? Monsanto will stop at nothing but, like with the sweJ, people are waking up and starting to consider kicking a lil corporate ass.

They cannot stuff the genie back in the bottle ~ the genie of death they have unleashed upon the world but the sleeping giant of the people cannot be halted either. The study was shocking and people saw what they saw ~ the true results of these toxins.

Sorry for the pathetic mixing of metaphors but.... gets the idea across.

Monsanto has been trying to squash that particular highly regarded scientific paper since the beginning. They have destroyed the lives of scientists for a few decades now including that of an older Scottish man who exposed their crimes in the 90's.

They won't stop until there is a very clear message sent. Monsanto is involved in the genocide of humanity and takes this work very seriously.

Interestingly, Russia cut off Monsanto from their markets and announced, upon the findings of this disputed paper, to do their own research beginning around now where they will duplicate this scientist's work but on a public channel for the public viewing.
