A new method against genetically modified salmon: Get retailers to refuse to sell it, Washington Post 10/18/13. KBC NOTE: Obama bailed this GM salmon company, made Monsanto attorney his FDA food czar, created Monsanto Protection Act, and his administration stated they want the Klamath Hydroelectric dams to be destroyed, which destroys the Klamath fish hatcheries producing millions of salmon, claiming to want only "wild salmon" in the rivers for health reasons....?

Cost questions follow discovery of (Monsanto) genetically modified wheat in Oregon, H&N 6/2/13. "...wheat industry stands to lose $94 to $272 million annually if genetically modified wheat is introduced. The USDA announced the discovery of the Monsanto-owned strain on Wednesday. It led to Japan postponing a 25,000-ton order from a Portland grain shipper..."

Obama administration 'bailed out' GM salmon firm, Campaigners say $500,000 grant was made to AquaBounty despite evidence that the firm could soon run out of cash, Guardian, UK, posted to KBC 11/14/11. Included in the link above is:
* Fishlink's/PCFFA/Pacific Coast Federation of Fishermen Association information that these fish could jeopardize wild fish stocks.
* an article explaining how Michael Taylor, Monsanto's super lobbiest, is now Obama's FDA Food Czar.
* links of billionaire George Soros huge investment in Monsanto, and huge investment in Obama's election. Soros funds Earthjustice, who pays the legal fees of the environmental groups in the KBRA / Klamath Basin Restoration Agreement.

WHY Destroy the Klamath River?  the Obama administration supports the KBRA / Klamath Basin Restoration Agreement, which will hugely permanently downsize agriculture and demolish fish hatcheries and 4 hydroelectic dams and on the Klamath, releasing 20 MILLION cubic yards of sediment.  

Klamath Dam removal is in the guise of having superior "Wild" salmon propagate, thus destroying millions of hatchery salmon. Dam removal could destroy every living creature in the river. Then comes Obama's Genetically Engineered Frankenfish, but can his Frankenfish find it's was through 20 million cubic yards of muck? Are genetically engineered Frankenfish superior to hatchery fish that are genetically equal to wild salmon?

Scientist testifies against GE fish ban, label bill, Capital Press, posted to KBC 3/22/13. "They grow fast. They grow large. And they are aggressive, and they can outcompete for habitat," Holvey said of the GE fish. "This is too big a risk for us to take to watch the native species of Pacific salmon potentially get decimated."
 

As AquAdvantage salmon nears FDA approval, this genetically engineered fish is likely to show up on your plate and you may not even know it.Frankenfish: Genetically engineered salmon close to FDA approval, Washington Times, posted to KBC 2/4/13. KBC NOTE: Obama administration bailed out Aquabounty, maker of Frankenfish. Monsanto is huge Obama contributor. Obama food czar is Monsanto attorney. GE salmon will not have to be labeled as such. FDA claims that Frankenfish are safe for humans and for the environment. Our Department of the Interior has fired, or ended scientific tasks, of Klamath scientists including ethics officer because they presented science that does not back Klamath Dam removal which is the Obama agenda along with destroying hatcheries that produce millions of salmon. The stated reason for Klamath dam removal is, the salmon MUST not be hatched in a fish hatchery, even though their genetics are identical to those hatched outside a hatchery, or it will harm humans and the environment.  

HERE for Klamath Science Misconduct page and federal whistleblowers on Klamath dam science.
*  Dr. Paul Houser, hydrometeorologist, and expert scientist on "Scientific Integrity," was the highest level scientist in the Bureau of Reclamation, and the only scientist in the D.C. office. Houser was fired for exposing the Secretary of Interior's "intentional falsification," "bias," and  "predetermined intention" to destroy the Klamath dams. 
* 7 southern Oregon fisheries biologists allege censorship, coercion, interference and threats of removal when their studies did not agree with Interior's plan to destroy Klamath River dams.

'Frankenfish' on the Menu? FDA Gives Initial Approval, livescience.com, posted to KBC 1/12/13. "But consumers won't know if the salmon they're buying is genetically engineered or not — U.S. regulations don't require food made from a genetically modified organism (GMO) to be labeled."
