| BARRY & HIS 'BEARD' |
An attempt was made to assassinate Bob Marley on December 3, 1976. He was just chilling at his home and studio on Gordon Town Road in Kingston, rehearsing for the upcoming smile Jamaica concert, just blazing some marijuana, eating grapefruit and practicing his guitar. Suddenly, three men burst into the room. One of them had 2 semi-automatic firearms and was a popular CIA operative. The other two had a single rifle each (M-16). They opened fire indiscriminately on Bob Marley, Rita Marley and others in the Room. Fortunately, there life was spared due to the mystical intervention of JAH. Don Taylor has been credited as the person to save the life of Bob by taking most of the bullets unintentionally.

Genetic Engineering: The Global Food and Agricultural Crisis
>> Now comes a new major peer-reviewed
study that has appeared in another respected journal. This study throws
into question the claim often forwarded by the biotech sector that GMO technology increases production and is beneficial to agriculture.
Researchers at the University of Canterbury in the UK
have found that the GM strategy used in North American staple crop
production is limiting yields and increasing pesticide use compared to
non-GM farming in Western Europe.
Led by Professor Jack Heinemann, the study’s findings have been
published in the June edition of the International Journal of
Agricultural Sustainability (2). The research analysed data on
agricultural productivity in North America and Western Europe over the last 50 years.
Heinemann states his team found that the combination of non-GM seed and management practices used by Western Europe is increasing corn yields faster than the use of the GM-led package chosen by the US. The research showed rapeseed (canola) yields increasing faster in Europe without GM than in the GM-led package chosen by Canada. What is more, the study finds that it is decreasing chemical herbicide and achieving even larger declines in insecticide use without sacrificing yield gains, while chemical herbicide use in the US has increased with GM seed.
According to Heinemann, Europe
has learned to grow more food per hectare and use fewer chemicals in the
process. On the other hand, the US choices in biotechnology are causing
it to fall behind Europe in productivity and sustainability.
The Heinemann team’s report notes that incentives in North
America are leading to a reliance on GM seeds and management practices
that are inferior to those being adopted under the incentive systems in
Europe. This is also affecting non GM crops. US yield in non-GM wheat is falling further behind Europe,
“demonstrating that American choices in biotechnology penalise both GM
and non-GM crop types relative to Europe,” according to Professor
Heinemann.
He
goes on to state that the decrease in annual variation in yield
suggests that Europe has a superior combination of seed and crop
management technology and is better suited to withstand weather
variations. This is important because annual variations cause price
speculations that can drive hundreds of millions of people into food
poverty.
The
report also highlights some grave concerns about the impact of modern
agriculture per se in terms of the general move towards depleted genetic
diversity and the consequently potential catastrophic risk to staple
food crops. Of the nearly 10,000 wheat varieties in use in China in 1949, only 1,000 remained in the 1970s. In the US,
95 percent of the cabbage, 91 percent of the field maize, 94 percent of
the pea and 81 percent of the tomato varieties cultivated in the last
century have been lost. GMOs and the control of seeds through patents
have restricted farmer choice and prevented seed saving. This has
exacerbated this problem.
Heinemann
concludes that we need a diversity of practices for growing and making
food that GM does not support. We also need systems that are useful, not
just profit-making biotechnologies, and which provide a resilient
supply to feed the world well.
Despite the evidence, governments capitulate
