Biohazard (red)Amflo­ra pota­toes (GMO) cleaned up

Dambeck (Müritzkreis), 22th June 2008

Despite the high sur­veil­lance on the field, peo­ple man­aged to mix up seeds of bio-pota­toes with the ones of the GMO-pota­toes present on the field, which means that those last one will have to be destroyed, because thanks to this mix-up its unique­ness will not guar­an­teed any fur­ther.

Few weeks before, the field had been squat­ted by anti-GMO oppo­nents, an evic­tion fol­lowed to this.

GMO corn­field in Rhe­in­stet­ten has been destroyed

Rhe­in­stet­ten, 4th June 2008

In the night to the 4.7, some activist man­aged to destroy again some parts of the Rhe­in­stet­ten exper­i­ment field, Despite a strict sur­veil­lance, over 5000m² of the field could be destroyed.
Here a trans­la­tion of the com­mu­nique:

“In the night from the 4 to the 5 of july, we destroyed around 5000m² of gmo corn­field in Rhe­in­stet­ten-Forcheim.
We cut­ted away a part of it, the rest is so destroyed than noth­ing will ever grow any­more.
The plants can not cre­ate cobs any­more. There­fore the exper­i­ment is now failed.
The technog­i­cal cen­ter for the rur­al devel­op­ment of Augusten­berg (LTZ) want­ed to study the socalled „co-exis­tence“ of gmo and non-gmo corn in Rhe­in­stet­ten. Every rea­son­able per­son knows that such co-exis­tence is impos­si­ble. A large cul­ti­va­tion of gmo plants con­ducts to a melt, soon or lat­er. The pollen do not let them­selves be ruled Seed­pro­duc­ers such as Mon­san­to ren­der through their genet­ic engi­neer­ing farm­ers all over the world depen­dent to their prod­ucts.
By this, they endan­ger the world’s nour­ish­ment as much as its vari­ety.
The LTZ and its respon­si­ble, the min­is­ter for agri­cul­ture Hauk, through their genet­ic engi­neer­ing attempts make them­selves helpers of the genet­ic engi­neer­ing indus­try. They do not respect the will of the pop­u­la­tion, which most­ly refuse such appli­ca­tion with­in the agri­cul­tur­al sphere.
Fences, watch­tow­ers and sen­tinels nei­ther did stop us, nor will ever do, in defend­ing us by all means against Mon­san­to and its col­lab­o­ra­tors.

Kom­man­do Biene Maja”

NRW free from GMOs!

Werne, 10th July 2008

Dec­la­ra­tion:

“Do it your­self
The attempt in Werne, NRW, could be brought to a suc­cess­ful end thanks to coura­geous way of act­ing. Few days ago, fields full of her­bi­cide-resistent corn have been lib­er­at­ed.
Good pre­pared is half a reminder.
Espe­cial­ly small exper­i­ment-fields are a thank­full gift of the agri­cu­tur­al genet­ic engi­neer­ing indus­try, where one can inter­vene in a deci­sive and influ­en­tial way with an hand­ful of peo­ple.
Just do it and do not let your­selves get caught
Enough writ­ten – act!”

Anoth­er gmo-field lib­er­at­ed

Kitzin­gen, 11th July 2008

Dec­la­ra­tion:

“There steps the bear on! Bruno destroys the gmo-field
Experts are con­firm­ing it after it hap­pened: Bruno the avenger is back.
Togeth­er with the omi­nous com­man­do Bim­ber­le, he left behind him­self a trace of destruc­tion at a gmo-field at Kitzin­gen. Even though Gen­hofer asked for the shoot­ing of the prob­lem­at­ic bears, there was­n’t at all a dan­ger for the pop­u­la­tion.
And since there are still too many gmo-fields, Bruno said ‘Destroy them all!’ ”
