A bit into this video we are told the wheat sensitivity is being caused by genetic modifications to wheat to make the plant less appealing to pests.
Whether the method is GE or traditional breeding does not affect the result.

Texting by a pilot before and during a 2011 medical-helicopter flight in Missouri contributed to its crash, the first time such distractions have been implicated in a fatal commercial-aviation accident, the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board found. The distraction from texting helped lead the pilot to take off without enough fuel, the investigative agency found at a hearing today in Washington. The helicopter’s engine stopped after the pilot reported that he had [...] An analyst says China recognizes that the US is using North Korea’s belligerence to build up its military presence as a direct nuclear threat against China. In the background of this there has been frightening escalation of rhetoric and threats from both North Korea and the US in the Korean peninsula. The US military build up in the area includes a chemical weapons battalion sent to South Korea and B-2 nuclear [...] Brandon Smith Preparation for disaster, whether natural or man-made, should be as vital as any ideal found in the various practices of religion and spiritualism. Preparedness should be treated with reverence, discipline and duty. The drive for preparation should be seated in the very heart of humanity. As individuals and as a society, we should hold preparedness dear, for it is an expression of the desire for survival [...] Detroit Mayor Dave Bing says he spoke by phone with Michigan Governor Rick Snyder today. He says the governor will announce his decision regarding the possible appointment of an Emergency Financial Manager for the city of Detroit on Friday. The mayor said, “Everybody’s got a pretty good idea of what the announcement is going to be.” http://www.wxyz.com/dpp/news/region/detroit/detroit-mayor-dave-bing-says-governor-rick-snyder-will-announce-a-state-takeover-on-friday Usually, when the administration needs a distraction from just how broke and insolvent in reality the [...] With the market still hopeful of some deus ex resolution to the Fiscal Cliff will take place in the last few trading sessions of the year (one where the market itself will not have to be the catalyst for such a resolution, because once the selling starts in earnest, who knows if and when it stops, hence the loading up on prodigious amounts of puts), here is Iran out of [...] From Jim Pethokoukis: Economist Michael Feroli of JPMorgan makes a great point in a new report about the fiscal cliff. Almost whatever the outcome, he points out it will do little-to-nothing to change the nation’s lethal long-term budget trajectory. Focusing, as the current negotiations do, on a completely arbitrary 10-year budget window is a complete distraction. The national debt will still be rocketing higher: In the chart, the green line indicates the [...] Here’s a letter to the New York Times Magazine‘s “ethicist,” which was published over the summer: My wife is having an affair with a government executive. His role is to manage a project whose progress is seen worldwide as a demonstration of American leadership. (This might seem hyperbolic, but it is not an exaggeration.) I have met with him on several occasions, and he has been gracious. (I doubt if he is [...] I’m beginning to think that the whole Fukushima fire/explosion thing is actually a distraction from this: Hmm, I wonder what the US is doing: -Showing off US naval strength. -Trying to intimidate. -Giving Iranians a sneak preview of US naval battle tactics. -Trying to prepare for unconventional real-battle tactics by showing their hand in regard to ‘old school’ tactics in an attempt to trick the Iranian fastboat/Sunburn/onyx missile teams. Preparing for a Pearl Harbor event by: -Noving most of their naval forces away from some strike zone to whatever perceived safety there [...] A wild, high-speed pursuit of bank robbers across Southern California has come to an end with the capture of two men, who had hurled cash out the window of their vehicle during the pursuit. Police began chasing a black Volvo SUV carrying four suspects, believed to have carried out an armed robbery at a Bank of America in Santa Clarita around 10 a.m. on Wednesday. In fast pursuit of the alleged robbers, police [...] From The Uninvited Ombudsman: Dear Media Colleagues, Why aren’t we talking about waiting periods anymore? The media and the gun-control movement have abandoned waiting periods, but they used to be the holy grail. Why is that? It turned out waiting periods didn’t matter. They didn’t work, had [...] From RT news: by Simon Black from Sovereign Man Have you noticed this very deceptive form of inflation? Every summer, my colleagues and I invite young people from all over the world for an intensive 4-day workshop about freedom and entrepreneurship. This year’s workshop just concluded yesterday afternoon, and it was, without doubt, the best one ever. 58 students attended from countries as diverse as Tajikistan, Bangladesh, Japan, Venezuela, Singapore, Russia, the Philippines, Greece, Malaysia, Turkey, Australia, China, [...] LAKE BUENA VISTA, Florida (WKMG) – A Walt Disney World guest who looks like Santa Claus was asked by Disney officials to be less “Santa-ish” because he was a distraction at the park, our news partner WKMG Local 6 reports. Thomas Tolbert, who was visiting Disney while on a family vacation, said he was wearing “Santa-related” clothing but not a full Santa suit while recently visiting the park. Tolbert said people, including children, were [...] Senate Intelligence Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) backtracked from her comments Monday that the White House was responsible for some of the national security leaks, saying she did not know the source of the leaks. “I stated that I did not believe the president leaked classified information,” Feinstein said in the statement on Tuesday. “I shouldn’t have speculated beyond that, because the fact of the matter is I don’t know the source [...] Facing questions about why she and other top Congressional officials won’t release their tax returns, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi(D-Calif.) downplayed her previous demands for presumptive GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney to release his, calling the issue a distraction. As recently as Wednesday, Pelosi had strongly urged Romney to provide further disclosure of his tax returns. But today, while maintaining Romney should release more documents because of “custom” and “tradition,” Pelosi said [...] http://www.thestreet.com/story/11616596/1/shadow-reo-as-many-as-90-of-foreclosed-properties-held-off-the-market.html This means that ALL THE HOUSES which are for sale now, only are 10 or 15% of whats REALLY foreclosed already and what should be available for sale. This means we are so fuxored right now, that the banks can’t even put them on the market because it will collapse everything. Then if there is an uptick in their 10-15% of houses, they get to play that as a gain in [...] Infamous for his prediction of the great recession, Europe’s demise, and the collapse of the US financial system (as well as profiting extremely handsomely from said predictions), so well captured in Michael Lewis’ book “The Big Short”, UCLA’s Dr. Michael Burry undertakes UCLA’s Economics Department’s commencement speech with much aplomb. In this “age of infinite distraction”, the astounding truthiness of this 15 minute speech is stunning from single-sentence summation of Europe’s [...] It really is all about Spain.
From Ambrose-Evans Pritchard: “We’re in a situation of total emergency, the worst crisis we have ever lived through” said ex-premier Felipe Gonzalez, the country’s elder statesman. The warning came as the yields on Spanish 10-year bonds spiked to 6.7pc, pushing the “risk premium” over German Bunds to a post-euro high of 540 basis points. The IBEX index of stocks in Madrid fell 2.6pc, the lowest since the dotcom bust [...] Saman Mohammadi The government beast to the people: sleep now, little child. Everything is going to be alright. Mommy and I are not going to let anyone hurt you. 1. The Western media is keeping mainstream Western consciousness in a state of sleep. It is doing this in order to suppress public awareness of massive crimes against humanity by financial, media, and political leaders in the U.S., England, and Israel. 2. Time is [...] A man with a camera phone has been arrested after allegedly following children around department stores while touching himself and whispering for their attention. Less than two months after Jonathan Davis was arrested for allegedly performing a sex act on himself in front of a young girl in a K-Mart in Hialeah, Florida, he has been arrested again for aggravated stalking of a minor. Davis, 40, who is currently free on bail, [...] As noted earlier this week, while the theater of Greek elections serves as a convenient distraction from the epic depression the country of 10 million is undergoing, the reality is that very soon it won’t matter at all who is left to govern this ruined country. Because if previously we demonstrated the collapse in two primary drivers of government tax revenue, namely tourism and commerce, today we show the logical follow [...] Men who exercise with other males lost on average an extra half a stone than those who workout in the company of women Men who go to slimming classes lose twice as much weight when there are no women around, a study found. They put their success down to the ‘blokey banter’ and lack of ‘awkward moments’ at the men-only sessions. Those who followed an all-male course lost almost a stone on average, [...] “We’re on the road to economic stagnation” is how the Dallas fed describes the status quo as Too-Big-To-Fail (TBTF) is forcing the US economy to suffer from the perpetuation of perverse incentives. We want to get back on the path to prosperity and they note that there are some things monetary policy can’t fix (well we know that already) but in this case they demand an end to the TBTF [...] We start today’s story of the day by pointing out that Deutsche Bank – easily Europe’s most critical financial institution – reported results that were far worse than expected, following a decline in equity and debt trading revenues of 23% and 8%, but primarily due to Europe simply “not being fixed yet” despite what its various politicians tell us. And if DB is still impaired, then something else will have [...] Walmart shares are are diving more than four percent after The New York Times reported on massive bribery allegations in Mexico.
Already analysts out of Citi have said that The Times report would have a muted impact on the stock, and ended up raising their price target on the country’s largest retailer. But Deutsche Bank sharply rebuts Citi’s take and offers five key reasons why this will have a serious impact on Walmart. “Unlike prior bad PR stories in recent years, [...] http://hotair.com/archives/2012/04/16/obama-eo-targets-fracking/ Once again, in yet another feeble attempt “in Buffet Rule distraction”, his highness quietly issues EO to kill even more jobs. And just WHO does he put “In Charge”? Heather Zichal. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heather_Zichal Eco-Moonbat, Sierra Club Climate-Change NEVER HAD A REAL JOB Heather Zichal. Just another “Job Killing Professional” ~~cough~~ New research shows fatal car crashes increase on the Tax Day, the deadline for filing US income taxes. An analysis of 30 years of data found an average of 13 more deaths on Tax Day than on other days in April. Researchers think stress, distraction and reckless driving while racing to the post office might play a role. But that’s not the only time of year that carries slightly heightened risks on American [...] Clockwise pattern of vibrations tells drivers to go left Could save dozens of lives a year Tired of being barked at by your robotic sat nav? Try letting vibrations tell you the way to go instead. A new steering wheel vibrates to indicate the route that a driver should take, with a clockwise pattern for right and anti-clockwise for left. It could [...] |
