Aloha TechHui'ians:

I'm replying to the posts from this video, here in this Blog instead since my response there would be too long to fit in the video response comment area. Keep in mind the two fundamental points of this video "Islands at Risk - GMO's in Hawai'i" both of which are completely missed by everyone posting comments on it thus far:

A) GMO research in Hawai'i is NOT what is being debated here; the folks in this video are NOT against GMO Research -- what they ARE against in conducting GMO Research in an irresponsible way, which is Not done by having experimental plots in an open air environment. GMO research in Hawai'i should be done in a responsible manner inside a hermetically sealed Laboratory setting, or at the very minimum inside an enclosed/contained Experimental Greenhouse with strict controls, and that Research should/must take place in this strict setting from cradle to grave. If GMO Research can't be contained inside the Lab this way, then it should be done at all. No aspect of the GMO Research should EVER invlove growing GMO Research plots in an outside open air environment on Hawai'ian nor Puerto Rican lands. Safe GMO Research is done this way on the US Mainland, so why isn't conducted in the same way in the Hawai'ian Islands nor in Puerto Rico? Why is it that in Hawai'i & Puerto Rico open air experimental GMO plots abound, moreso than any other location in the USA or on Earth, whereas strict controls against risky GMO open air experimentation exists for the USA mainland?
ANSWER: because BioTech companies from the U.S. mainland prefer to have the much riskier GMO Research done in someone else's backyard, somewhere else where the financial cost of conducting this risky GMO research is minimized by having them done without strict R&D safety controls within a Lab nor a hermetically sealed Greenhouse i.e. instead in an open air environment, somewhere else where the consequences of an altered experimental high risk Genome getting out of control and causing untold unforeseen damage is contained in someone else's backyard that doesn't come back to haunt them, somewhere else where the victims of such a scenario aren't close to home, somewhere else where the high risk experimental GMO research is safely far enough away from home yet close enough to keep under their control, somewhere else where local Governments are so cash strapped for sources of income (other than Tourism and the Military) to support their economies that are easily influenced by the requests and demands of these financially and legally powerful BioTech companies, somewhere else where the ability to impose their agenda and conduct their high risk Genome research meets very little or no resistance at all, somewhere else like the Islands of Puerto Rico and Hawai'i.

B) GMOs should have strict scientific data and sound evidence conclusively proving that there are No Reasonable Health Risks to ingesting them, nor Environmental Risks to using them, and in addition that in fact there are also Benefits to be gained as well from using them in GMO crops, and not just technological benefits but also economic benefits with business common sense for Farmers. Until this is conclusively proven, then and only then can permits and lisenses be granted with Government and public approcal, to allow GMO Research to come out of the Laboratory, for growing on Farming lands and for the sale of "properly labeled" GMO crops to the public.

In addition, I have the following to add to Dan Leuck's posting on this video, WHICH AT THE SAME TIME ANSWERS MANY OF THE OTHER POSTINGS FROM OTHER TECHHUI'IANS AS WELL:



From Dan Leuck: "1. There are no credentials supplied for the people making these sweeping generalizations".
>> My take on this is what do you mean by "credentials"? Does this mean being a so-called 'educated expert' in a specific field backed-up by University degrees: BS, MS, PhD's combined with published papers on a given topic in established journals? If there is one thing I have learned in my Career is that having a formal education and recognized as a so-called 'expert' in a given field doesn't necessarily make someone any "wiser"; likewise, NOT having University degrees doesn't necessarily invalidate someone that is self-educated from being very well versed and quite knowledgeable in a given field. There have been countless examples throughout history of important contributions made by folks that weren't formally 'educated' but that were very inquisitive and taught themselves all about science and the world around them; Anthony van Leeuwenhoek, Joseph Henry, Rita Levi-Montalcini, Alessandro Volta, Thaddeus S. C. Lowe, Johann Wilhelm Ritter, Gottfried Leibniz, Elihu Thompson, Michael Faraday, etc. just to name a few, whom were self-made Scientists, had boundless curiosity and open minds, free of scientific dogma and the limitations of a traditional legacy education.

As technically trained TechHui'ians we shouldn't discount the opinions and contributions of others just because they hadn't gone to college and received a formal education nor a University Degree - which I have observed over my career doesn't necessarily correlate to deducing conclusions based on common sense combined with wisdom. Thankfully this prejudice has softened considerably in recent years, as "teamwork" and collaborative contributions by "all" have become recognized and encouraged. Personally, I was always impressed by the many contributions of talented operators, technicians, secretaries, and other "non degree holding people" I knew and worked with. While formal training can undoubtedly sharpen the mind, ingenuity and common sense are pretty much inborn characteristics, and just as valuable. The 18 folks in this video are not just lay people, they have been advocates in the non-use of GMOs for a reason, based on years of investigations and countless studied reports. I do agree that more data should have been presented to back-up their cliams, but dismising all their concerns outright (especially when it means impacting both the financial health of the Hawaiian farming industry, as well as physical health of the people consuming GMOs grown in Hawaii) is just as troubling, if not moreso.

With that being said, here are some of the Federal & Government Legal cases mentioned in this video, which back-up some of their claims:

From Dan Leuck: "2. There are a lot of emotional, fear based statements - "They are making monsters!", "They are putting foreign things in foreign things!"
>> My take on this is that out of the entire 30+ minute video, these two statements "They are making monsters!" and "They are putting foreign things in foreign things!" totals about ~15 seconds of the entire peice. The remaining 29+ minutes of the video offers seriously compelling argumemnts regarding GMOs that should be at the very minimum thouroughly looked into, especially when the negative affects seems to far outweight the positive benefits (if any) for GMOs. In fact, a simple search on Google for "GMOs" yeilds 981,000 hits. Of these 408,096 speak of the positive effects of GMOs, where as 572,904 speak of the negative effects of GMOs. Thats a ratio of Good:Bad of just 2:3! A much worse ratio holds for a Google Video search on "GMOs" with 1,360 GMO videos, practically all speaking of the negative impact of GMOs (less than 100 speak of positive benefits of GMOs).

With ~60% of the information on the WEB devoted to all the negative effects of GMOs, and of this negative information a good portion devoted to the unscrupulous activities of GMO companies in collaboration with the FDA, does all this strike anyone anywehere to be a reasonable risk at all, in ingesting manipulated and altered foreign Genomes into your body, or liberating them into the environment, when not nearly enough studies have been done guaranteeing their reasonable safety in humans nor to the environment, and of the potential consequences of a very high risk of something going drastically wrong? With those odds, Alarm Bells and Sirens should be going off here in most peoples minds.

Granted that GMO BioTechnology has yielded some good benefits to ~90% of the worldwide GMO crop population were resource-poor farmers in developing countries including farmers in China, India, subsistence farmers in South Africa, The Philippines and many other developing countries, in biological and medical research, production of pharmaceutical drugs, experimental medicine (e.g. gene therapy), and agriculture (e.g. golden rice). But keep in mind however that these benefits are the side-effects of GMO BioTechnology thats Patented from R&D in the Lab -- the primary motivation of BioTechnology IS NOT the greater good for all, it is instead to maximize revenues & profits, even if it means doing so at the expense of farmers and others. If BioTech companies were in it for the geater good and benefit for all, they would not engage in "Bio-Piracy" to essentially steal the intellectual knowledge passed-down from generation to generation of many of these same resource-poor farmers' in developing countries, intellectual property accumulated over hundreds of ancestral generations, take this knowledge back to the Lab to Patent, claim the Intellectual Property as their own, then return to sell their newly Patented GMO BioTechnology back to the same farmers where they got their GMO ideas in the first place, essentially handcuffing/forcing farmers into buying GMO crops with no other choice, nor giving them credit/compensation for taking the original knowledge from these farmers in the first place.

The fundamental objective for any 'BioTech' company (or any non-philonthropic business for that matter) and therefore intrinsic problem of creating GMOs, is to turn GMO Patented BioTechnology into a cash cow money-making revenue stream and profit-making corporate business -- the unlimited profit motive -- and the only way to accomplish this is to capitalize to the maximum possible on GMO Patents & BioTechnology even if it means controlling and monopolizing the worldwide food production & supply -- this is an incredible amount of power in the hands of just a few American multinational companies especially when they are given practically 'card banc' by the FDA; there have been many published papers that conclusively establish this. It is quite simply unfettered technological progess without a moral/ethical checks-and-balance, in short "irresponsible technology", inevitably resulting in BioTechnological GMO Patenting by a few, which (in most cases) trumps the greater good and benefit for all.

Lets think about this contructively & critically for a moment shall we? If BioTech companies were truely in it for the greater good in benefiting & assisting the world food supply, in impoversihed continents such as Africa and others, in in biological & medical research, production of pharmaceutical drugs, and experimental medicine they could just as easily taken the moral high ground and alternate "Technological Path B" of developing alternative BioTechnologies that would safely fertilize farming soils and eliminate pests & herbs WITHOUT altering the genomes of plants & our food supply and WITHOUT causing adverse effects to the environment. However, this much friendlier Technological Path B in not nearly as lucrative, not by a long shot.

Hence, by BioTech Companies opt to choose the current "Technological Path A" of developing their own fertlizers/herbacides/pesticides that are coupled with their own GMOs, both of which are legally protected by BioTech GMO Patents, which inevitably will pretty much force the entire worldwide farming population to be permanently locked into using BOTH their Patented fertlizers/herbacides/pesticides and also Patented GMO crops, hence diverting an incredible worldwide revenue stream directly into the coffers of a few multinational BioTech companies. The surreal profits in this case are staggering, and with so much money at stake, they have easily pushed their agenda with minimal oversight or resistance by FDA or Government -- even if it means doing so at the expense of public health and environmental safety, starting with the fact that neither the FDA nor Congress will dare force BioTech companies into adequately label GMO crops, foods, fruits & vegetables distributed into the U.S. (and worldwide) food supply. Because both the US Government & FDA know that if they did, the vast majority of Americans & citizens of the world, ~80% but some accounts, would simply choose NOT to purchase GMO foods when placed on supermarket grocery shelves & food markets -- they wouldn't come near the stuff with a 10 foot pole. This scenario would essentially collapse the entire GMO BioTech business overnight -- since Technological Path A has created a business model where there is just simply way too much money on the line here (for the BioTech multinationals).

Perhaps time will tell and force the Government & BioTech industry to change to the correct ethical alternative Technological Path B, much in the same way that the whole world today is realizing that when the Fossil Fuel Petroleum based internal cumbustion engine of the Ford Model-T, produced in mass on an assembly line resulting in driving down the cost (Technological Path A), beat out the original Electric Car with swappable Electric Battery of the early 1900's (Technological Path B); where now today everyone is now realizing that this Tech Path A business model of burning fossil fuels & internal combustion engines was the wrong irresponsible technological/business choice at that time 100 years ago and is bad for world economies, bad for the environment and bad for our own health leading to ultimate disaster unless something is done; then perhaps in 100 years or so from now in the year 2110 the same will happen with GMO crops & BioTech Industry, but only until AFTER we have all waited till the 11th hour when much of the damage has already been done AND its almost too late to stop & reverse the trend. Then and only then will some serious action be finally done about this, after most of the profits have already been realized at the expense of the greater good after most of the Health & Environmental catastrophes have already occurred and the damage has already been done.

The first main reason why GMO crops are here, is because its based on a deception that occured in the FDA. The FDA was heavily influenced by GMO companies into stating the these altered GMO foods are "not different", using newly generated lexicon & terminology of "Principal of Substantial Equivalency". Under "Sunstantially Equivalency", GMOs were therefore considered to be "not meaningfully different", and "not uniformly different". Ultimately the "Principal of Substantial Equivalency" was transformed into meaning "Generally Recognized as Safe" (GRAS). However, for anything to be GRAS, it needs A LOT of peer reviewed & published scientific studies, combined with overwhelming consensus amongst the scientific community. With GMOs, they had neither from the FDA, nor any other scientific or Government organization. Once a GRAS blessing is granted by the FDA, this means that a company marketing a food or drug has been trusted as acting "on their honor" in having conducted as the necessary through rigorous scientific research & studies necessary for guaranteeing public health and safety of a Food or Drug it wants to introduce to the market. Hence, once the GRAS category was achieved by the BioTech companies for GMO food products, they could then introduce GMOs directly into the market without having it rigorously confirmed and approved by the FDA or even letting the FDA know (because they are on their honor in having it done on their own themselves), and simply need to present nothing more than a summary & conclusion of their efforts to the FDA in guaranteeing GMO products safety, no questions asked. You can Trust Us, the stuff is good! Really! :)

The second main reason why GMOs are here is because the FDA & USPTO have allowed BioTech companies to Patent "living organisims" which were never invented nor created by these BioTech companies in the first place. However, just because they have managed to digitally map these genomes at the DNA, gene & molecular level, this has opened up a "Can Of Worms" in allowing BioTech companies to claim these as their own after the novel "mixing" (wow, what a neat new concept) a few samples of DNA between two species in a petri dish or test tube. The result yields a GMO, a new life from they have supposedly "created" (very loosely stated) -- in my mind nor the mind of most reasonable folks, I hardly think this qualifies as a novel technological breakthrough warranting Patentability, and even less so when it involves a living organisim/species. I don't think they asked permission from Our Creator on this one, to Patent a hybrid life form as as if it were their own, from parent species that God originally created in Nature. However, the BioTechs engaged in GMO creation (with their incredible lobbying & financial power) have convinced the USPTO to allow them to do so. Once GMOs are allowed to be Patented by the USPTO, all foreign Patent Offcies fall in line as well, the BioTech Companies at that point are then are protected by the entire worldwide legal system, allowing them to force the hand of millions of Farmers around the world and in the process ultimately control the Worldwide food supply allowing BioTechs to reap incredible GMO profits.

Hence with both the FDA and USPTO in the back pocket of BioTech companies promoting GMO's, they are able to easily push their self interest agenda through into the worldwide market.



From Dan Leuck: "3. They are asking us to accept genetic manipulation being undesirable as axiomatic. This is a religious argument that leaves no room for real scientific debate."
>> My take on this is I have posted another GMO video on TechHui called "What's Wrong with GMOs?", where serious scientific debate is thoroughly discussed. Now before anyone jumps all over this video as well, I will state up-front that just one scientist is interviewed, and this one scientist presents compelling scientific debate 'against' GMO's. The problem with the "axiomatic" argument is that honestly, I simply cannot find very many compelling arguments "FOR GMO's" either from WEB artciles, news articles, online videos, nor from any other source. If anyone out there does find any compelling arguments "FOR" GMOs, PLEASE by all means post them here on TechHui presenting a balanced opposing view.



From Dan Leuck: "Genetic engineers are working on cures for debilitating diseases and ways of growing crops in poor soil conditions in desperately poor African countries. There is no doubt that some of the seed companies mentioned have been involved in sketchy legal maneuvering, but implying that all genetic engineering is being done toward some great evil plan to control the global food supply is disingenuous at best."
>> Yes of course there are some benefits of the work Genetic Engineers are doing on cures for debilitating diseases and ways of growing crops in poor soil conditions in desperately poor African countries. However, as mentioned earlier, the same technological advances can just as easily be made by alternate friendlier BioTechnologies WITHOUT focing the use of Patented fertlizers/herbacides/pesticides coupled with Patented GMOs to accomplish the same.


God Bless Hawai'i

Terra Preta is fascinating. There's a very compelling argument ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_American_use_of_fire ) that the topsoil that makes Iowa some of the best farmland in the world is because of carbon in the soil from fire. There's a good possibility it came from natural fires, and then earthworms moved the char from fires into the soil over hundreds (or thousands) of years. The above wikipedia article indicates the Native Americans intentionally burned the prairies, which seems more likely. Iowa is currently one of the largest areas of anthropogenically modified land, with at least 75% of the state planted in row-crop agriculture.. And it's likely been that way before european settlers arrived.. just not quite of the same intensity.

So instead of talking about making cellulosic-derived fuels from sugarcane, sweet sorghum, and other biomass, we should be taking that carbon stock, and making slow-burn char, and putting it into Hawai'i's cinders, and building new *black* soil.
Comment by Konstantin A Lukin on April 11, 2010 at 9:31am
Speaking of poor soil conditions, I recently came across a couple of videos on Terra Preta (literally “black earth” in Portuguese), which is basically a charcoal enriched soil. Interestingly enough, patches of Terra Preta have been found in the Amazonian jungle, linking it to possible prior civil developments of The Lost City of Z, vividly described by a Portuguese explorer (Bandeirante) who wrote that he visited the city in 1753. It also looks like there is an upcoming movie, called The Lost City of Z, starring Brad Pitt, which could be an interesting interpretation of the Amazonian city legend and especially how they managed to survive in jungle conditions.

Anyway, here is one video that demonstrates what Terra Preta is in today's reality:

On this, I absolutely agree. The onus should be on the entity growing the GMO crops to prevent contamination. Many courts have created very bad case law in this area. Its time for legislation to correct this problem.

Brian Russo: There are a number of legal issues that have not caught up.. for example currently if I'm a farmer and you're a farmer.. and your Monsanto Roundup Ready seed pollutes mine (by the simple fact that they're next to each other.. pollen and other transport mechanisms) - the burden of evidence is on me. This simply isn't reasonable for me to have take active steps to avoid your 'pollution' of my property - and ALSO have to legally defend myself against a multinational such as Monsanto.
Comment by Konstantin A Lukin on April 2, 2010 at 5:35am
Daniel Leuck: This is an ad hominem argument - an attack on the arguer rather than the argument
@Dan: please do not interpret this as a personal attack. I am simply trying to understand general patterns that are at play in order to gravitate towards a most optimal solution.

For the record, I have a very deep appreciation for natural habitats, and Hawaii in particular. I make my small contribution through support of my local coop and participation in activities such as river cleanups.
This is great. I think we should strive towards getting more & more involved, making local communities better places to live.
I'm not arguing that GMOs shouldn't be carefully regulated - they should, but it doesn't help the cause to imply Hawaii has been ravaged by GMOs. Its simply not true.
I do not know how much impact GMOs already had on Hawaii's ecosystem, but I think similar discussions can help us understand where we are at and what should be done.

Its also not good to characterize those who advocate responsible use as not caring about the environment. Many uses of GMOs are for the betterment of the environment, such as production of high lipid content algae to create biofuel alternatives for the fossil fuels that are causing great damage to the environment. This is one of many examples of the application of genetic engineering for the betterment of people and their environments.
Yes! Let's focus on green GMO applications, such as the one mentioned, and drop harmful/for-profit GMOs, such as Monsanto's corn example. Let's have strict regulations that do not allow corporate sector to conduct harmful/unpredictable experiments on local communities. Let's conduct local GMO awareness workshops, where green GMOs are better explained to local communities. Let's collect public opinions on how comfortable we are with implementing proposed GMO projects.
The only reason why GMOs are so bashed is because public is afraid of how this can affect the ecosystem as well as personal health. The best cure for fear is knowledge of what is and what is not.

if someone is being irresponsible with GMO corn seed research in Hawaii, it will likely quickly end up in Iowa..
Precisely. Everything is interconnected in this way. That is why it is of prime importance to focus on local communities. If everyone has a responsible approach, collectively we have a responsible society.
Science & Technology is a very powerful tool, which can create as well as destroy. It is our job to direct this power in the most optimal way to benefit all of Earth's inhabitants. If we fail at this, our very habitat is at stake.
Comment by Troy Benjegerdes on April 2, 2010 at 4:07am
Is this really a discussion about GMO's, or a discussion about big multinational corporations vs local farmers? What if, instead of local organic farmers suing Monsanto to block roundup-ready alfalfa because of impacts to their organic operations, we had Wal-Mart suing local open-source GMO algae biofuel developers because of potential impact to Wal-Mart's ability to sell organic kelp food products?

If we applied open-source to genetically modified organisms, how would you regulate it? The biggest problem with GMO's is the market is entirely one-sided. Large corporations have an effective monopoly on GMO development, largely because they are the only ones that can deal with the regulations.
Comment by Troy Benjegerdes on March 31, 2010 at 7:37pm
Something quite close to home for me... if someone is being irresponsible with GMO corn seed research in Hawaii, it will likely quickly end up in Iowa..

http://corncommentary.com/2009/09/23/hawaii-corners-the-seed-corn-m...

It would be a strange turn of events to have corn seed growers lobbying for the same standards in hawaii as on the mainland. They have the most to lose if their seeds get compromised.
Comment by Daniel Leuck on March 31, 2010 at 7:57am
Konstantin A Lukin: I think this discussion mostly gravitates towards a separation between those who have authentic appreciation for natural habitats and those who are willing to jeopardize that for a scientific gain.

Hawaii's ecosystems, like many other island ecosystems, have been ravaged by foreign species, not by GMOs. I'm not arguing that GMOs shouldn't be carefully regulated - they should, but it doesn't help the cause to imply Hawaii has been ravaged by GMOs. Its simply not true. Its also not good to characterize those who advocate responsible use as not caring about the environment.

I think this discussion mostly gravitates towards a separation between those who have authentic appreciation for natural habitats and those who are willing to jeopardize that for a scientific gain.

Cross-breeding has been done since a long time, the difference is that it had time to adapt. The way GMOs are currently handled is irresponsible.

GMOs are with us. They will not go away, and they will become more prevalent in all aspects of our life.
Not if we start educating the public about sustainability and other forms of farming, GMOs will soon begin to loose their luster.

Its good to have watchdogs and fight for sensible regulation
I think it is much better to have local communities be less dependent on outside influences and focus more in their local environments.

but unilaterally opposing all genetic engineering because we are "manipulating nature" or "doing things that are unnatural" doesn't make any sense to me.
This is a religious argument. I think whatever brings a long-term good for the community is the winning combination, not a generalized opposition.

You could make the same arguments about taking penicillin.
The key difference here is that penicillin does not dilute environmental gene pool with man-made DNA strands, GMOs do.

I agree, but that is almost entirely due to the introduction of foreign species, deforestation and irresponsible farming practices. It has nothing to do with GMOs.
There are numerous articles that go over GMO dangers, here is one: Monsanto's GMO Corn Linked To Organ Failure, Study Reveals. I believe Monsanto has an office on Maui. I've also heard they are leaders in GMO research, and they have constant problems with local farmers. Shouldn't local efforts be united with scientific research to produce results that are widely accepted by the local community? (and not act forcefully against it)
Comment by Daniel Leuck on March 31, 2010 at 12:19am
Mark Enomoto: Hawaii's ecosystem and all ecosystems have evolved over millions of years yet have been screwed up in a fraction of that time due to the impact of humans.
Aloha Mark. I agree, but that is almost entirely due to the introduction of foreign species, deforestation and irresponsible farming practices. It has nothing to do with GMOs.
Comment by Rubén Peña on March 30, 2010 at 11:56pm
Aloha TechHuiians!

Regarding Mark Enomoto's comments ..... "Here, Here!!" I opt for taking the side of scientific caution in the face of the immediately & historically unknown regarding GMO's.
