Inge's Comments: You, too, can make a difference by making your voice
heard. There is power in numbers. The grassroots - the citizens who are
have to absorb the fallout of corporate blunders - must show themselves
more powerful than the boardroom. If you are as incensed as I am, please
sign the petition -found on the website given below - demanding that this
professor be re-instated..
As long as corporations like Monsanto are able to exercise this kind of
dictatorial pressure on universities, no honest scientist is safe, and
"official science" is increasingly nothing more than the propaganda, lies,
and cover-ups needed to implement the ruthless and dangerous agendas of
the corporate boardrooms, where "ethics and integrity" seem to be absent
from their vocabulary.
As long as THE TRUTH cannot be disclosed without retribution, accurate
information will become as rare and as dead as the dodo bird, and free
access to truthful information will become non-existent. "Official
Education" and Media Releases become indoctrination rather than the
dissemination of information for the acquiring of knowledge and the
gaining wisdom. i.h.

EMANDING A REVIEW OF
DR. IGANCIO CHAPELA'S TENURE DENIAL
Dear Friend,
A well-respected and popular professor at the University of California in
Berkeley has been fired after publishing a scientific paper regarding the
uncontrolled contamination of irreplaceable native Mexican corn varieties
by genetically engineered corn. Dr. Ignacio Chapela, whose corn
contamination article was published in the science journal "Nature," was
denied his tenure due to pressure from the biotech company Monsanto on the
University (the UC Berkeley tenure review panel had actually voted almost
unanimously to approve his tenure). Professor Chapela has been told to
have his office cleaned out by December 31.
Sign a petition to demand a review of Dr. Chapela's tenure denial.
