Amashumi ezinkulungwane zamakhasi emibhalo yangaphakathi etholwe ngu I-US Ilungelo Lokwazi ngokusebenzisa amarekhodi omphakathi izicelo ziveza ubudlelwano obuseduze - futhi obuyimfihlo - obuphakathi kweMonsanto, amaqembu ayo e-PR, neqembu losolwazi abagqugquzela ama-GMO kanye ne-pesticides. Kwesinye isibonelo, uphenyo lwaveza imininingwane ngomsebenzi kaMonsanto UPeter WB Phillips, USolwazi Ohloniphekile e UJohnson Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy, ENyuvesi yaseSaskatchewan.

Izambulo zazibandakanya ubufakazi bokuthi abasebenzi baseMonsanto kunikezwe futhi kwahlelwa iphepha elibhalwe nguPhillips, futhi wabamba iqhaza kwi "uchungechunge" oluvaliwe emphakathini UPhillips uhlele e-U of S ukuxoxa ngezinselelo zokubonisa ngale mayelana nobudlelwano bemboni. Le micimbi iphakamise ukukhathazeka ngethonya lemboni kule nyuvesi exhaswe nguhulumeni, futhi yagqugquzela amanye amalungu obuhlakani nabanye ukuba baqalise inselelo yezomthetho ukuzama ukuthola umbhalo othi "ilungelo lokwazi uchungechunge".

Leli phepha linikeza isizinda ngale micimbi, kanye nemibhalo evela ekuphonselweni inselelo kwezomthetho kanye nophenyo lwamarekhodi omphakathi. I-U of S ithe ibukeze umsebenzi kaPhillips ngokwesimo senqubomgomo yokuziphatha eyunivesithi. Ngenxa yalokhu, uPhillips "wakhululwa kunoma yikuphi ukungalungi," ngokusho kweCBC News.

Ukufakwa kwezindaba

Ukusebenzisana kweMonsanto kwakungekho ukubonakala  

Imibhalo etholwe ngamarekhodi omphakathi icela ama-imeyili achaza omunye umsebenzi kaPhillips neMonsanto. Okulandelayo ukubuka konke okutholakele nemisebenzi ephathelene nemibhalo.

Ngo-2014, umphathi wezindaba zesayensi yomhlaba wonke waseMonsanto u-Eric Sachs waqasha uPhillips nabanye oprofesa abayisithupha ukuba babhale izincazelo zenqubomgomo ngama-GMO. Ama-imeyili akhombisa ukuthi abasebenzi baseMonsanto izihloko eziphakanyisiwe nezinhlaka amaphepha, kuhlelwe umsebenzi kaPhillips, wahlanganyela nenkampani ye-PR, futhi wahlela ukuba kukhishwe amaphepha futhi iphakanyiswe nge Iphrojekthi ye-genetic Literacy Project iwebhusayithi, okwenziwe akukhulunywa yendima kaMonsanto. UPhillips utshele i-CBC akakaze athathe inkokhelo kuMonsanto futhi ume ngemuva kwanoma yikuphi ukubhala negama lakhe.

Ngo-2015, uPhillips bameme abasebenzi baseMonsanto, izimboni ezibalulekile ze-PR, khetha abasebenzi be-faculty nabaseyunivesithi ku "Symposium on Research Management and the Right to Know" e-U of S ukuxoxa ngenkululeko yemithetho yolwazi kanye nemithelela yokubambisana kwezimboni nezifundo. Uhlu lwezimemo lwakhiwe ngo ukubonisana no UCami Ryan waseMonsanto. Umcimbi uvaliwe emphakathini kanti inyuvesi yenqabile ukukhipha imininingwane ngawo.

Ngo-2017, iqembu elizibiza nge-Academic Integrity Legal Group, elinamalungu obuhlakani nabanye abaxhumene no-U of S, lazama ukuthola lo mbhalo kodwa lathi “babhaliswa yinyuvesi.” Ukuphindaphinda okunzima, cishe I-85% yombhalo kumnyama, "khombisa ukufihla ngenhloso," i iqembu labhala esicelweni somphakathi okuqoqe amasiginesha angaphezu kuka-1,800 XNUMX.

Ingxenye yombhalo obhalwe kabusha ovela ku- “Symposium on Research Management and the Right to Know”

Icala lombhalo oqoshiwe libuyekezwe nguRon Kruzeniski, uKhomishani Wezokwaziswa Nobumfihlo waseSaskatchewan. NgoJuni 2018 Umbiko, uKruzeniski uthe inyuvesi ayisebenzisi ngendlela efanele umthetho wamarekhodi womphakathi futhi wancoma ukuthi kukhishwe ingxenye enkulu yombhalo. Inyuvesi yenqabile ukuyinikeza, nokwadala inselelo yezomthetho evela ku-D'Arcy Hande, umgcini wezinto zakudala osethathe umhlalaphansi e-U of S, egameni leqembu le-Academic Integrity. Inselelo yezomthetho, i-US Right to Know isize ukuyikhokhela, ayiphumelelanga, lapho inkantolo ikhiphe isinqumo sokuthi “kube nomthetho oyisisekelo wochungechunge olumise imfihlo.”

UHande uthe enkulumweni yakhe wathi lolu chungechunge lubonakale luyingxoxo engagunci mayelana nokuthi ungakulawula kanjani lokhu kulandisa, kunokuphendula izikhalazo, ngokusebenzisana nemboni yezibulala-zinambuzane nale nyuvesi. Ngenxa yokuthi u-U of S uxhaswe umphakathi, ukholwa wukuthi umphakathi unelungelo lokwazi ukuthi kuxoxwe ngani.

“Kufana neklabhu yabafana endala.”

Isinqumo senkantolo siyamayelana, kusho uHande, ngenxa yokugcizelela kwakho ukusetshenziswa kweChatham House Rule (an isivumelwano esingahlelekile esetshenziselwa ukusiza izingxoxo zamahhala zezihloko ezibucayi) njengesizathu sokuthi imininingwane kufanele ihlale iyimfihlo. "Ukuthi ijaji licabange ukuthi kufanelekile ukuthi inyuvesi kawonkewonke ihlangane nabamele imboni embonini yomphakathi ukuze bakhulume ngokukhululeka ngaphandle kwezidingo zokubeka obala ngaphansi komthetho iChatham House Rule, kuyethusa impela lokho," kusho uHande. “Kufana neklabhu yabafana endala.”

Ama-imeyili ahlobene nochungechunge

Imema abalingani bezimboni ze-PR ku-U of S (Okthoba 2015). UPhillips uchaze inhloso yakhe yokuhlela uchungechunge mayelana nokuvakasha kuka UJon Entine (Iphrojekthi Yokufunda Ngofuzo) futhi USolwazi Kevin Folta wase-University of Florida (abavikeli ababili abakhulu bama-GMO kanye nezibulala-zinambuzane abasebenzisane kakhulu namaqembu ezimboni ngenkathi bethi bazimele). UPhillips ubhalele u-Entine noFolta: “Ngesikhathi ngizwa ukuthi nobabili nizobe senisedolobheni, kwabonakala kuyithuba elihle ukubiza isimpoziyamu encane yocwaningo ukuze kuxoxwe ngenhlangano ye-RTK [ilungelo lokwazi] kanye nomphumela wayo ongaba khona ekubambisaneni kwezimboni nezifundo. ”

Ingemuva, i-ajenda, abakhona (Novemba 2015). UPhillips uthumele i-imeyili i-Entine, i-Folta, abasebenzi ababili beMonsanto nabanye abachaza isidingo sokuhlangana ukuze kuxoxiswane ngokuhlolwa okwengeziwe kokubambisana kwezimboni nezifundo. Amagama iningi labamenyiwe nababekhona okungewona u-U we-S acishiwe.

IMonsanto iphakamisa abamenyiwe (Novemba 2015). UCami Ryan weMonsanto wenze iziphakamiso zohlu lwezimemo.

Ama-imeyili aphathelene namaphepha e-Monsanto / Genetic Literacy Project 

IMonsanto yabelwa amaphepha (Agasti 2013). U-Eric Sachs waseMonsanto ubhalele iqembu losolwazi okubandakanya uPhillips, “Sengiqale umsebenzi obalulekile wokukhiqiza uchungechunge lwemibhalo emifushane yenqubomgomo ngezihloko ezibalulekile enkundleni yezolimo ye-biotechnology… izihloko zikhethwe ngenxa yethonya lazo kumgomo womphakathi, isivuno seGM umthetho nokwamukelwa kwabathengi. ” Ucele uPhillips ukuthi abhale ngokuthi "umthetho osindayo" wama-GMO "uvimba kanjani lokhu okusha… okubalulekile ekusizeni ukwesekwa kokudla emhlabeni jikelele."

Isicelo esiphuthumayo sikaMonsanto sokuqhubekela phambili (Septhemba 9, 2014). AbakwaSachs bathumele i-imeyili kuPhillips ukumnxusa ukuthi abuyekeze ukuhlela okuphakanyisiwe ephepheni lakhe. "Le projekthi isendleleni enamandla manje," kubhala uSachs. Uchaze isu "lokuxhumanisa 'imibono' yomlobi kusuka kulolu chungechunge lwamafushane empikiswaneni ngezitshalo ze-GM nokudla esikholwa ukuthi kuzodalwa emasontweni azayo ngumbiko omusha wePhaneli yeNRC ngezitshalo ze-GM. Ngesonto elizayo kungokokuqala ngqa kokulalelwa kwezimvo zomphakathi e-US NAS [National Academy of Sciences] eWashington futhi kuzobonakala ukuthi ngubani ongomunye wabagxeki bezitshalo ze-GM abazofakaza. ” AbakwaSachs baqaphele ukuthi iGenetic Literacy Project “manje iyisikhungo esiyinhloko” samaphepha futhi “ibisakha uhlelo lokuthengisa” ngosizo lwenkampani yePR.

IMonsanto iphakamise ukuhlela (Septhemba 18, 2014). UPhillips uxoxe ngenqubekela phambili yakhe efaka ukuhlelwa kanye nezinguquko ezisuka kuCons Ryan kaMonsanto kumbhalo wakhe wenqubomgomo.

I-PR firm yabela amashejuli (Agasti 2013). UBeth Ann Mumford we-CMA Consulting, inkampani ye-PR esebenza noMonsanto, uxoxe ngamashejuli nezinsuku zokugcina neziprofesa. (I-CMA, eseqanjwe kabusha igama Bheka eMpumalanga, iphethwe nguCharlie Arnot, oyi-CEO embonini yezokudla exhaswa ngemali spin group Isikhungo Sokuqina Kokudla.)

Akukho ukudalulwa kwendima kaMonsanto (Disemba 11, 2014). Iphepha lePhillips, elinesihloko esithi "Imiphumela Yezomnotho Yemithethonqubo Yezilimo Zezakhi Zomzimba" lishicilelwa yi-Genetic Literacy Project kungadalulwa indima kaMonsanto.

Uxhaso lwezinkampani

Yize uPhillips ethe akatholi mali eqondile ezinkampanini, ucwaningo lwakhe lubonakala luthola ukwesekwa okuthile kwezamabhizinisi. IGlobal Institute for Food Security (GIFS), a isikhungo sokucwaninga esixhaswe yi uHulumeni we ISaskatchewan, iNyuvesi yaseSaskatchewan neNutrien, inkampani kamanyolo, ibala iPhillips phakathi kwayo abacwaningi abaxhumene. Ngokusho kukaPhillips ikhasi lobuhlakani, imali yakhe yakamuva yocwaningo ihilela ukusebenzisana noStuart Smyth, usolwazi osebenza e-U of S ophethe iSihlalo Esicwaninga Ngezimboni Esikhokhelwa yi-Agri-Food Innovation. Lokho isikhundla sixhaswe ngu IBayer CropScience Canada, iCropLife Canada, iMonsanto Canada, iSaskatchewan Canola Development Commission kanye neSyngenta Canada.

Izimali zikaPhillips ziphawula ubudlelwano obubili neSmyth: $ 675,000 for a “IZIPHO-CSIP Strategic Partnership ”kanye“ nokuvuselela izimali zoMsebenzi Wokulondolozwa Kwesayensi Yezenhlalo njengengxenye Yezinhlelo Zokuklama Zokuphepha Kokudla Komhlaba Wonke, amaRandi ayizigidi ezingama-37.5 ”avela eCanada First Research Excellence Fund Program (enebhajethi eyi- $ 1.31 million). Lesi sakamuva yi- iphrojekthi exhaswa ngumphakathi iyaqhubeka i-GIFS, ubambiswano lukahulumeni nezinkampani ezizimele ezibandakanya i-U of S, uhulumeni wasekhaya kanye nenkampani kamanyolo iNutrien (phambilini eyayiyiPotash Corp) ikhangisa imikhiqizo yayo njengoba kudingekile ekutholakaleni kokudla.

Umkhankaso weMonsanto Wokulwa Nathi Ilungelo Lokwazi: Funda Amadokhumenti

Phrinta imeyili Ungahlukıselana Ephathwayo
Posted on by UStacy Malkan

Sisize ukuqhubeka nokumba amadokhumenti izinkampani ezinkulu kunazo zonke emhlabeni zezibulala-zinambuzane kanye ne-biotech ezingafuni ukuthi ubone nge umnikelo odonselwa intela.

Imibhalo yangaphakathi ekhishwe ngo-Agasti 2019 inikeza ukubukeka okungajwayelekile kwimishini yezobudlelwano bomphakathi eMonsanto, nokuthi inkampani izame kanjani ukuqukethe uphenyo olwenziwe yi-US Right to Know ebudlelwaneni bayo nezifundiswa kanye namanyuvesi aphezulu. USRTK, iqembu labaphenyi, lenze izicelo eziningi zamarekhodi omphakathi emanyuvesi nakwizifundiswa ezikhokhelwa ngabakhokhi bentela kusukela ngonyaka wezi-2015, okuholele ekudalweni ngokusebenzisana komkhakha oyimfihlo.

Imibhalo yeMonsanto ithunyelwe lapha futhi ungafunda kabanzi mayelana ne- okutholwe uphenyo lwe-USRTK lapha. 

Le mibhalo iveze ukuthi uMonsanto ukhathazekile, “uhlelo luka-USRTK luzoba nomthelela kuyo yonke imboni” futhi “lunamandla okulimaza kakhulu.” Ngakho-ke bathumele abasebenzi be-11 Monsanto, amafemu amabili e-PR, Izimpendulo ze-GMO futhi wabandakanya inkampani ephambili emhlabeni yokubulala izinambuzane ezinhlelweni zokudicilela phansi le nzuzo encane.

IMonsanto iphinde yamukela isu lokulwa nokubikwa kukaCarey Gillam naye incwadi yokuphenya mayelana nebhizinisi lenkampani yokubulala ukhula. UGillam ungumqondisi wezocwaningo e-USRTK. IMonsanto yayine- Isipredishithi se-'Carey Gillam Book ', enezenzo ezingaphezu kwezingu-20 ezinikelwe ekuphikiseni incwadi yakhe ngaphambi kokushicilelwa. Le nkampani ize yaphenya nangomculi uNeil Young. Bona ukumbozwa:

Uhlelo lukaMonsanto lokwehlisa isithunzi i-USRTK: imibhalo yangaphakathi, izingqikithi ezisemqoka 

UMonsanto wayekhathazeke kakhulu ngophenyo lwe-FOIA lomqondisi we-USRTK Co, futhi waba nohlelo olunzulu lokulwa nalo. 

IMonsanto ibikhathazekile ngokuthi ama-FOIA azovumbulula ithonya lawo enqubweni yokulawula nenqubomgomo, ukukhokhelwa kwabafundi kanye namanyuvesi abo, kanye nokusebenzisana nezifundiswa ukuxhasa izinhloso zobudlelwano bomphakathi nomkhakha. IMonsanto ifuna ukuvikela isithunzi sayo "nenkululeko yokusebenza," futhi "ibeke" uphenyo "njengokuhlasela ubuqotho besayensi kanye nenkululeko yokufunda."

  • "Uhlelo luka-USRTK luzoba nomthelela kuyo yonke imboni, futhi kuzodingeka ukuthi sisebenzisane kahle ne-BIO ne-CBI / GMOA kulo lonke uhlelo lokuhlela kanye nakunoma yiziphi izimpendulo ekugcineni," ngokusho kukaMonsanto "Uhlelo lwe-US Right to Know FOIA Communications Plan”Yangomhla ka-25 Julayi 2019. I-BIO yinhlangano yezokuhweba embonini ye-biotech futhi Umkhandlu Wezokwazisa nge-Biotechnology / Izimpendulo ze-GMO wuhlelo lokumaketha lokukhuthaza ama-GMO aphethwe yinkampani yakwaKetchum PR futhi axhaswe yizinkampani ezinkulu kakhulu zezolimo - iBASF, iBayer (manje esengumnikazi weMonsanto), iCorteva (isigaba seDowDuPont) neSyngenta.

Izinkampani zibeke izimpendulo zeGMO njengohlelo lokusebenzela obala ukuphendula imibuzo mayelana nama-GMO ngamazwi "ochwepheshe abazimele," noma kunjalo imibhalo echazwe lapha, kanye uhlelo olukhishwe ngaphambilini lweMonsanto PR, ziphakamisa ukuthi iMonsanto ithembele kwizimpendulo ze-GMO njengemoto yokuphusha imiyalezo yenkampani.

Kusuka ekhasini 2, “IMonsanto Company Confidential… Uhlelo lwe-US Right to Know FOIA Communications Plan"

  • "Noma isiphi isimo esihlobene nalolu daba sinamandla okulimaza ngokweqile, noma ngabe ulwazi lungabonakala lubi kanjani," ngokwe-GMO Answers Communications Plan kulo mbhalo (ikhasi 23).

  • "* Isimo esibi kunazo zonke *": "I-imeyili ekhangayo ikhombisa ukuthi kungaba yini isibhamu sokubhema embonini (isib.

  • Uhlelo lolo lwadinga ukuqala “izingcingo eziphuthumayo” nekomidi eliqondisa izimpendulo ze-GMO uma ukufinyelela / ukukhuphuka kwakubucayi ngokwanele. (ikhasi 23)
  • Kwezinye izimo, abasebenzi baseMonsanto babelindele ukufinyelela kumadokhumenti ngaphambi kwe-US Right to Know, noma ngabe i-USRTK icela imibhalo nge-state FOI. Ngezicelo ze-UC Davis: "Sizoba nombono wangaphambi kokukhishwa kwemibhalo". (ikhasi 3)
  • Abasebenzi beMonsanto abali-11 abavela eminyangweni emi-5; Abasebenzi ababili beqembu lezokuhweba i-BIO kanye nesisebenzi esivela kwa-GMO Answers / Ketchum babalwe njengo "othintana nabo abalulekile" kulolu hlelo (ikhasi 4). Abasebenzi ababili bakwaFleishmanHillard babambe iqhaza ekuhlanganiseni lolu hlelo (bheka i-imeyili ye-ajenda).

UMonsanto naye wayekhathazekile ngencwadi kaCarey Gillam futhi wazama ukuyidelela.

Imibhalo eminingi esanda kukhishwa ihlobene nemizamo kaMonsanto yokulwa nokubikwa kukaCarey Gillam nencwadi yakhe ephenya ibhizinisi lenkampani yokubulala ukhula: “I-Whitewash: Indaba Yombulali Wokhula, Umdlavuza Nenkohlakalo Yesayensi”(I-Island Press, 2017). UGillam wayeyintatheli yeReuters futhi esengumqondisi wezocwaningo wase-US Right to Know.

Le mibhalo ifaka iMonsanto  Ikhasi lama-20 "Isu Lokulawulwa Kwezinkinga / Isu Lokuxhumana" Incwadi kaGillam, enabasebenzi abayisishiyagalombili baseMonsanto ababelwe ukulungiselela ukukhishwa kwencwadi kaGillam ngo-Okthoba 2017. Isu kwakungukuthi "kuncishiswe ukusakazwa kwabezindaba nokwaziswa kwale ncwadi kuleli hlobo / ekwindla ngokukhomba" kumaqiniso "maqondana nokulima…" 

An Ispredishithi se-Excel esinesihloko esithi “Project Spruce: Carey Gillam Book” ichaza izinto zezenzo ezingama-20, nezinhlelo ezibandakanya ukubekwa okukhokhelwayo kokuthunyelwe okuzovela ku-Google ngosesho lwe- "Monsanto glyphosate Carey Gillam," okwenza ukubuyekezwa kwezincwadi okungekuhle, nezinhlelo "zokubandakanya iziphathimandla ezilawulayo" kanye ne "Pro-Science Third Parties," kufaka phakathi Umuzwa Ngezesayensi, Isayensi Yezindaba Yezindaba, i-Global Farmer Network kanye ne- "Campaign for Accuracy in Public Health Research," iphrojekthi ye-American Chemistry Council.

Le mibhalo yembula ubukhona besikhungo iMonsanto Corporate Engagement Fusion Centre. 

IMonsanto ihlele “Ukusebenzisana neFusion Center ukuqapha izakhiwo zedijithali ze-USRTK, ivolumu nemizwa ehlobene ne-USRTK / FOIA, kanye nokubandakanyeka kwezethameli.” (ikhasi 9) Ukuze uthole okwengeziwe ngezikhungo ezihlanganayo zokuhlangana, bona:

IMonsanto ibhekisa kaningi ekusebenzeni nabantu besithathu ukulwa ne-USRTK.

Imibhalo Eyimfihlo Idalula Impi kaMonsanto Ngososayensi Bomdlavuza

Phrinta imeyili Ungahlukıselana Ephathwayo
Posted on by UStacy Malkan

NguStacy Malkan (kubuyekezwe ngoMeyi 17, 2019)

UDeWayne Johnson, ubaba oneminyaka engama-46 obulawa yi-non-Hodgkin lymphoma, waba ngumuntu wokuqala ukubhekana IMonsanto ecaleni ngoJuni odlule ngenxa yezinsolo inkampani yafihla ubufakazi ngezingozi ezibangelwa umdlavuza ze-Roundup weedkiller yayo. Amajaji aselokhu abuya nawo ezintathu ngazwi linye izinqumo ukuthola ukuthi i-glyphosate-based Roundup herbicides iyimbangela enkulu yomdlavuza, futhi yalinganisa umonakalo omkhulu wokujeziswa kweBayer (manje esingeyaseMonsanto). Izinkulungwane eziningi zabantu zimangalele izinkantolo zombuso nezikahulumeni, kanye nemibhalo yezinkampani ephuma ezivivinyweni ikhanya kakhulu kumaqhinga anzima iMonsanto esetshenziselwa ukuphika ingozi yomdlavuza nokuvikela ikhemikhali elaliyi lynchpin yenzuzo yayo.

“IMonsanto kwakungumbhali waso wesipoki ngokubuyekezwa kokuphepha, ”kubika iBloomberg, kanye nesikhulu se-EPA kubikwa ukuthi wasiza uMonsanto “Bulala” ucwaningo lomdlavuza lwenye i-ejensi (lokho kuphuma, manje kuphelile qinisekisa isixhumanisi somdlavuza ku-glyphosate). An uphenyo olwawina imiklomelo eLe Monde Imininingwane yokuthi uMonsanto uzame kanjani “ukubhubhisa i-ejensi yomdlavuza yeZizwe Ezihlangene nganoma iyiphi indlela” ukusindisa i-glyphosate. Izindatshana zeJenali ezisuselwa ekubukezweni kombiko wemibhalo yokutholwa kwesilingo seRoundup ukuphazamiseka kwebhizinisi encwadini yesayensi kanye nenhlangano elawula umthetho, nezinye iziboneloukufaka ubuthi emthonjeni wesayensi. "

“Ukubhalwa kwesipoki kukaMonsanto nokuqinisa izikhali kusongela isayensi yomsindo nomphakathi, "Kubhala uSolwazi waseTufts University uSheldon Krimsky ngoJuni 2018. Uthe imibhalo etholakele," yembula ukuthunjwa kwesayensi okuyinkampani, okubeka impilo yomphakathi kanye nesisekelo sentando yeningi engcupheni. "

Kusukela lapho, njengoba sekuqhubeka izivivinyo, sekuvele eminye imibhalo mayelana ne ubukhulu bokukhohlisa kukaMonsanto kwenqubo yesayensi, izinhlaka zokulawula, nezimpikiswano zomphakathi. NgoMeyi 2019, izintatheli eFrance uthole imfihlo "Ifayela leMonsanto" eyenziwe yinkampani yezobudlelwano bomphakathi iFleishmanHillard ibala "inqwaba yolwazi" cishe izintatheli ezingama-200, osopolitiki, ososayensi nabanye ababonakala bengaba nomthelela empikiswaneni ye-glyphosate eFrance. Abashushisi eFrance bavule uphenyo lobugebengu futhi IBayer ithe iphenya inkampani yayo i-PR.

Le mpi yenkampani yesayensi inomthelela omkhulu kithi sonke, uma kubhekwa ukuthi uhhafu wabo bonke abesilisa e-US kanye nowesithathu kwabesifazane bazotholakala benomdlavuza esikhathini esithile sokuphila kwethu, ngokusho kwe I-National Cancer Institute.

Imibhalo imboni yokudla ayifuni ukuthi uyibone

Sekuyiminyaka, izimboni zokudla nezamakhemikhali zibheke ngqo kokuhlosiwe okukodwa emhlabeni wesayensi: i-International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), iqembu elizimele locwaningo elisebenze iminyaka engama-50 khomba izingozi zomdlavuza ukwazisa izinqubomgomo ezingavimbela umdlavuza.

“Kade ngilwa i-IARC unomphela !!! :) ”omunye usosayensi owayenguKraft Foods wabhalela owayengusosayensi waseSyngenta ku-imeyili itholwe ngesicelo samarekhodi esivulekile sombuso. “Ukudla ne-ag sekuvinjezelwe kusukela eGlyphosate ngoMashi 2015. Sonke kudingeka sihlangane ngandlela-thile siveze i-IARC, njengoba nina nenze ephepheni. Izinto eziza kuqala kakhulu yizo zonke izithako zokudla: i-aspartame, i-sucralose, i-iron yokudla, i-B-carotene, i-BPA, njll. I-IARC iyasibulala! ”

Isazi se-IARC isinqumo sephaneli ukuhlukanisa i-glyphosate ngokuthi “mhlawumbe ibanga umdlavuza kubantu” kudale indawo yokuhlangana yezitha zephaneli ukuqoqa amabutho. Umbhalo osemqoka weMonsanto okhishwe ngamacala wecala wembula uhlelo lokuhlaselwa: ihlazisa ososayensi abanomdlavuza ngosizo lwabalingani embonini yezokudla.

Uhlelo lukaMonsanto lokuxhumana nomphakathi unikeze abasebenzi abangu-20 bezinkampani ukulungiselela umbiko we-IARC we-carcinogenicity on glyphosate, ngezinhloso ezibandakanya "ukunciphisa umthelela," "ukubeka umbono womphakathi nge-IARC," "ukufinyelela komlawuli," "ukuqinisekisa i-MON POV" kanye "nokubandakanya izinhlangano zezimboni" "ekuthukutheleni. ”

Lo mbhalo ukhombe izigaba ezine "zabalingani bemboni" ukusiza ukuqhubekisela phambili izinhloso ezintathu ezishiwo ohlelweni lwe-PR: ukuvikela isithunzi se-Roundup, ukuvimbela izimangalo zomdlavuza "ezingenasisekelo" ekubeni umbono ovamile, kanye "nokuhlinzeka ngezembozo ezinhlanganweni ezilawulayo" ukuqhubeka nokuvumela ukusetshenziswa kwe-glyphosate.

Ukuthola inethiwekhi kaMonsanto "yabalingani bemboni"

The amaqembu abalingani bemboni uMonsanto uthephiwe ukwehlisa isithunzi ososayensi be-IARC babandakanya izinhlangano ezinkulu zokubulala izinambuzane kanye nezimboni zokudla; amaqembu e-spin axhaswa ngezimboni aziveza njengemithombo ezimele efana Izimpendulo ze-GMO futhi Umkhandlu Wemininingwane Yomhlaba Wokudla; futhi "isayensi-y" kuzwakala amaqembu angaphambili afana Umuzwa weSayensi, lo Iphrojekthi ye-genetic Literacy Project futhi Ukubuyekezwa Kwezifundiswa - konke kusetshenziswa imilayezo efanayo futhi kuvame ukubhekiswa komunye nomunye njengemithombo.

Amadokhumenti atholiwe yi-US Right kuya Yazi uphenyo khanyisa ukuthi la maqembu abalingani asebenzisana kanjani ukukhuthaza i- "MON POV" mayelana nokuphepha kanye nesidingo semithi yokubulala izinambuzane kanye nama-GMO.

Iqoqo elilodwa lemibhalo lembula ukuthi izinkampani zikaMonsanto ze-PR zahlela kanjani “Ukubuyekezwa Kwezemfundo” njengenkundla ezwakala ingathathi hlangothi lapho ingaqala khona ukuhlaselwa uhlu lwezitha, kufaka phakathi iSierra Club, umbhali uMichael Pollan, i-movie ethi Food, Inc. kanye ne- imboni yemvelo.

Abakhi bokubukeza kwezifundo - ababambisene nabo UBruce Chassy futhi UDavid Tribe, Isikhulu seMonsanto u-Eric Sachs, owayengumqondisi wezokuxhumana eMonsanto uJay Byrne, Futhi owayeyi-VP weqembu lokuhweba lomkhakha we-biotech iVal Giddings - wakhuluma obala in ama-imeyili maqondana nokusungula ukubuyekeza kwe-Academics njengeqembu eliphambili lokukhuthaza izintshisekelo zemboni nokuheha imali yemboni, ngenkathi kugcinwa izigxivizo zeminwe zenkampani zifihliwe.

I-imeyili evela ku-Eric Sachs, iMonsanto'sScience, Technology & Outreach Lead, iya kuBruce Chassy

Ngisho namanje ngebhuku labo lokudlala lidaluliwe - kanye nelabo imali eyisisekelo ikhonjisiwe njengoba ivela eqenjini lezentengiselwano elixhaswe ngabakwaMonsanto, iBayer, iBASF, iSyngenta neDowDuPont - i-Academics Review isafuna lokho iwebhusayithi ukwamukela iminikelo evela “emithonjeni okungeyona eyezinkampani” Ukubuyekezwa kwe-Academics kubuye kuthiwe "Ukubuyekezwa komdlavuza we-IARC glyphosate kwehluleka ezingxenyeni eziningi," ku okuthunyelwe itholwe yiwebhusayithi ye-PR exhaswa yimboni Izimpendulo ze-GMO, iqembu eliphambili elixhaswe yimboni Umkhandlu waseMelika weSayensi nezeMpilo, kanye nendatshana yeForbes ngu Henry Miller lokho kwabhalwa isipoki nguMonsanto.

UMiller nabahleli be-Academics Review Chassy, ​​Tribe, Byrne, Sachs and Giddings are amalungu e-AgBioChatter, isithangami se-imeyili sangasese esivele ohlelweni lweMonsanto lwe-PR njengomlingani womkhakha wesi-2. Ama-imeyili avela kuhlu lwe-AgBioChatter ziphakamisa ukuthi yayisetshenziselwa ukuxhumanisa ababambisene nabo embonini emisebenzini yokunxenxa neyokuphromotha ukuvikela ama-GMO kanye nezibulala-zinambuzane. Amalungu afaka abasebenzi abaphezulu embonini yezolimo, abeluleki be-PR kanye nezifundiswa ezixhasa umkhakha, iningi labo elibhalela izinkundla zezindaba zomkhakha ezifana Izimpendulo ze-GMO futhi Iphrojekthi ye-genetic Literacy Project, noma badlale izindima zobuholi kwamanye amaqembu abalingani beMonsanto.

I-Genetic Literacy Project, eholwa ngumkhakha osebenza isikhathi eside wamakhemikhali i-PR UJon Entine, futhi ibambisene ne-Academics Review ukwenza uchungechunge lwezingqungquthela ezixhaswe imboni yezolimo ukuqeqesha izintatheli nososayensi ukuthi ukukhuthaza kangcono ama-GMO kanye ne-pesticides baphikisane nokwehliswa kwabo emthethweni. Abahleli bebekhona abangathembeki ngemithombo yezimali zabo.

Lawa maqembu aziphonsa njengabaxazululi abathembekile besayensi njengoba besabalalisa imininingwane engamanga nezinga eliseduze nokuhlaselwa okushubile kwabososayensi abaphakamise ukukhathazeka ngengozi yomdlavuza ye-glyphosate.

Isibonelo esisemqoka singatholakala kuwebhusayithi ye-Genetic Literacy Project, ebibhalwe ukuthi “yi-tier 2 industry partner” ohlelweni lukaMonsanto lwe-PR lokuvikela i-Roundup ekulweni nokukhathazeka komdlavuza okuvezwe yi-International Agency for Research on Cancer. Ukuseshwa kwe- "IARC" kuwebhusayithi ye-Genetic Literacy Project kuveza izindatshana ezingaphezu kwama-200, eziningi zazo ezihlasela ososayensi abaphakamise ukukhathazeka ngomdlavuza ngokuthi "ama-anti-chemical enviros" "aqamba amanga" futhi "enza uzungu lokumelela kabi" izingozi zempilo glyphosate, futhi bephikisana nokuthi i-ejensi yomdlavuza yomhlaba wonke kufanele ibuyiselwe imali futhi iqedwe.

Izindatshana eziningi ezilwa ne-IARC ezifakwe ku-Genetic Literacy Project, noma eziqhutshwa abanye abasebenza embonini, ziyishaya indiva imibiko eminingi yezindaba ngokususelwa Amaphepha eMonsanto ukubhala ukungenelela kwezinkampani ocwaningweni lwesayensi, futhi esikhundleni salokho kuthuthukiswe izimangalo zezimboni zamakhemikhali ze-PR noma ze- izindaba ezingamanga a intatheli enobudlelwano obuhle noMonsanto. Impi yezepolitiki yokulwa ifinyelele yonke indlela eya eCapitol Hill, namaRiphabhulikhi e-DRM aholwa ngu Ummeli uLamar Smith efuna kuphenywe nokuzama uku ukugodla imali yase-US kusuka kunhlangano ehamba phambili yocwaningo lomdlavuza.

Ngubani ohlangothini lwesayensi?

Ukunxenxa nokuthumela imiyalezo kukaMonsanto ukudicilela phansi iphaneli yomdlavuza we-IARC kusekelwe empikiswaneni yokuthi ezinye izinhlaka ezisebenzisa ukuhlolwa okususelwa engcupheni zikhiphe i-glyphosate engcupheni yomdlavuza. Kepha njengoba imibiko yophenyo futhi iphephandaba izihloko ngokusekelwe ku Amaphepha eMonsanto bunemininingwane eminingi, ubufakazi bufaka ukuthi ukuhlolwa kokulawulwa kwezinhlekelele ku-glyphosate, okuthembele kakhulu ocwaningweni olunikezwa yimboni, kuyekethiswa ngokungadalulwanga ukungqubuzana kwezintshisekelo, ukuthembela kusayensi engabazisayo, izinto ezibhalwe ghost nezinye izindlela zokuqinisa izikhali ezinkampanini ezibeka impilo yomphakathi engcupheni, njengoProfesa waseTufts USheldon Krimsky wabhala.

“Ukuvikela ibhizinisi lesayensi, enye yezinsika zomphakathi wentando yeningi wanamuhla, ekulweni namandla angalenza isisebenzi sezimboni noma ezepolitiki, umphakathi wethu kumele usekele izikhubekiso phakathi kwesayensi yezemfundo kanye nemikhakha yezinkampani futhi ufundise ososayensi abasha futhi abahleli bephephabhuku ngemigomo yokuziphatha esezingeni lomsebenzi wabo, ”kubhala uKrimsky.

Abenzi benqubomgomo akumele bavumele isayensi ebumbene nenkampani ukuqondisa izinqumo mayelana nokuvinjelwa umdlavuza. Abezindaba kumele benze umbiko ongcono womsebenzi futhi babheke izingxabano zentshisekelo ngemuva kwesayensi yenkampani. Isikhathi sokuqeda impi yenkampani yesayensi yomdlavuza.

UDrew Kershen, uprofesa osaziwayo e-University of Oklahoma College of Law, ungumngane osondelene nomkhakha wezolimo. Uyaphikisana ukuhlukunyezwa zezitshalo nezilwane ezenziwe ngobunjiniyela kanye ngokumelene nokusobala. UKershen ubambe iqhaza elibalulekile emizamweni yokukhangisa exhaswa ngezimali embonini kanye namaqembu angaphambili alwela izintshisekelo zemboni. UKershen akayivezi imithombo yezimali.

Isibopho semboni yezolimo nobuholi beqembu langaphambili

Iphrojekthi ye-Genetic Literacy Project / Science Literacy Project

UKershen uyi ilungu lebhodi yeGenetic Literacy Project, iqembu eliphambili elibambisana neMonsanto ukwenza ubudlelwano bomphakathi ngokudla okwenziwe ngezakhi zofuzo kanye nemithi yokubulala izinambuzane, futhi hhayi ukudalula ngokunembile ukuxhaswa kwayo. Imibhalo iveze ukuthi i-Genetic Literacy Project:

UKershen futhi uyilungu lebhodi le- Iphrojekthi Yezesayensi Yokufunda, i-501 (c) (3) inhlangano yabazali ye-Genetic Literacy Project. Zombili ziqondiswa ngu UJon Entine, umlingani wesikhathi eside we-PR wemboni yamakhemikhali.

Ngokuvumelana ne Amarekhodi wentela ka-2015, UJon Entine kanye ne-Science Literacy Project bathathe izintambo zokulawula iStatistical Assessment Service (STATS), iqembu ebelikade lisebenzisana neCentre for Media and Public Affairs (CMPA) kanye Iphrojekthi ye-genetic Literacy Project. Ukusebenza kwe-STATS kufakwe ku-Sense About Science USA, okuyi wabelana ngekheli elifanayo lerekhodi ngeProjekthi YeSayensi Yokufunda Nokubhala.

Abasunguli be-STATS, i-CMPA kanye ne-Sense About Science benze ubudlelwano bomphakathi basebenzela imboni kagwayi futhi la maqembu awawona amajaji azimele wesayensi, ngokusho kwe-2016 uphenyo kuThe Intercept.

UNobhala Wezifundo Zokubuyekeza Iqembu Langaphambili

UKershen wayengunobhala webhodi labaqondisi be-Academics Review, ngokusho kwalo Amarekhodi wentela ka-2016. Ukubuyekezwa Kwezemfundo bathi kwakuyiqembu elizimele, kodwa imibhalo etholwe yi-US Right to Know wembule ukuthi kwakuyiqembu langaphambili kusethwe ngosizo lweMonsanto ukuhlasela abagxeki bemboni yezolimo ngenkathi bebonakala bezimele.

UKershen wayengu- umbuyekezi ngombiko wango-2014 we-Academics Review owazama ukudicilela phansi imboni yezinto eziphilayo; i isitatimende sephephandaba ngombiko wathi kwakuwumsebenzi wezifundiswa ezizimele ngaphandle kokuphikisana kwezintshisekelo.

Amarekhodi entela akhombisa ukuthi umxhasi oyinhloko we-Academics Review kwakuyi-Council for Biotechnology Information, inhlangano engenzi nzuzo exhaswa futhi ephethwe yi-BASF, Bayer, DowDuPont, Monsanto neSyngenta. I-CBI inikeze isamba esingu- $ 600,000 ku-Academics Review ku 2014 futhi 2015-2016.

Kungani iForbes Isuse Ezinye Izindatshana ZaseKershen

IKershen babhala ngokuhlanganyela izindatshana eziningana ezisuswe yiForbes neProjusa Syndicate ngemuva kombhali wakhe, UHenry Miller, wabanjwa usebenzisa ikholomu ebhalwe ghost ngu-Monsanto njengomsebenzi wakhe eForbes. I- New York Times wembula ihlazo lokubhala ngezipoki ngo-2017.

UKershen noMiller nabo babhalele ndawonye izindatshana ze- Slate, Buyekeza National, lo Isikhungo seHoover futhi Umkhandlu waseMelika weSayensi nezeMpilo (imboni exhaswa ngemali iqembu langaphambili) bephikisana nokufakwa amalebula nokulawulwa kokudla okwenziwe ngezakhi zofuzo, ukuhlasela abagxeki bezimboni, nokubanga ukuthi "abampofu emhlabeni bahlupheka futhi bafa ngokungadingekile" ngenxa "yomthetho ongenazidingo ofunwa yizishoshovu."

Izimpendulo ze-GMO

UKershen uyi “Uchwepheshe wenxusa” Izimpendulo ze-GMO, a ukumaketha kanye newebhusayithi ye-PR ngokudla okwenziwe ngezakhi zofuzo okuyi uxhaswe yizinkampani ezinkulu zezolimo nge-Council for Biotechnology Information, futhi ephethwe yi inkampani yezobudlelwano nomphakathi uKetchum.

Ungenele Ekubambeni Ngokusobala Icala Lokuvimbela Ukudalulwa Komphakathi

Imibhalo eminingana ebikwe kuleli qiniso, eveze obudlelwano obungadalulwanga phakathi kwezinhlangano namaqembu angaphambili, yaqala ukutholwa ngezicelo zeFreedom of Information ngu I-US Ilungelo Lokwazi.

I-Broken FOIA Kude Nokuphulukiswa njengama-US Agent Cheat Public

Phrinta imeyili Ungahlukıselana Ephathwayo
Posted on by UCarey Gillam

EMelika, enye yemigomo eyisisekelo yentando yeningi yethu ukuthi uhulumeni wethu uyasisebenzela. Kufanele sibe no “hulumeni wabantu, wabantu, wabantu” njengoMongameli u-Abraham Lincoln ngenhlonipho wathi. Ukusiza ukuqinisekisa ukuthi umgomo uyalandelwa siyabona ukuthi ukufinyelela komphakathi elwazini mayelana nezenzo zikahulumeni kubaluleke kakhulu ekulondolozeni inkululeko yomuntu ngamunye neyenhlanganyelo.

Kepha kulo nyaka, njengoba sithatha ama-50th isikhumbuzo sokusayinwa koMthetho Wenkululeko Yolwazi (i-FOIA), ubufakazi obandayo bubonisa ukuthi iningi lezinhlangano zethu zombuso ziyasebenza ukucindezela le nkululeko ngokufihla ulwazi emphakathini ngokungafanele. NgoJuni, uMongameli Obama wasayina umthethosivivinywa mhlawumbe kuhloswe ngayo ukuqinisa i-FOIA. Kepha ngenkathi umthetho unikeza uhla lwezinguquko ezintsha zenqubo, izinhlinzeko azenzi okuncane ekuvimbeleni ukuqhubeka kokuhlukunyezwa okuvamile nezaba esizibonayo kuma-ejensi enqikaza ukuguqula imininingwane ngemisebenzi yabo.

Imizamo yokubalekela umthetho we-FOIA seyiyinsakavukela umchilo wesintu kangangokuba i-US Government Accountability Office ihlanganisa ithimba manje ukuze liqale ukucwaningwa okubanzi kokuthobela kwe-FOIA ezinhlanganweni zombuso. Ukubuyekezwa kwe-GAO kuzoqala kule nyanga, ngokusho kwe-GAO.

Uphenyo luza ekuphenduleni isiqondiso ekhishwe yiKomidi Lezendlu Lezokuqapha kanye Nezinguquko kuHulumeni kanye neKomidi Lezigele leZobulungiswa, izinhlangano zebandla ezingamele imisebenzi ye-FOIA. Futhi kuza ngemuva umbiko oqalekisayo wekomidi leNdlu elathola isiko legatsha eliphethe likahulumeni wesifundazwe "likhuthaza ukucatshangelwa okungekho emthethweni okuvumela ukugcinwa kwemfihlo lapho kuphendulwa izicelo ze-Freedom of Information Act." Ama-ejensi kufanele asebenze futhi aphendule abafake izicelo be-FOIA kungakapheli izinsuku ezingama-20 zokusebenza, kepha noma ngubani owenza izicelo ze-FOIA njalo uyazi ukuthi kungenzeka kube izinyanga, uma kungenjalo iminyaka, ngaphambi kokuba kukhiqizwe amarekhodi. Uma futhi lapho amarekhodi ephendulwa, imvamisa ahlehliswa kakhulu, okwenza kungabi nalutho. Ikomidi leNdlu elibhekele ezokwengamela laphinde lathola ukuthi izingcindezi zepolitiki zihlala zikhona, kanti imibhalo ibhekwa njengenenkinga noma ihlazo eligodliwe.

"Imfihlo ikhuthaza ukungathembani," kusho umbiko wekomidi.

Encwadini abayibhalele i-GAO, abaholi bekomidi lenhlangano bacaphune ukuhlaziywa kwe-Associated Press othole abantu abacele amarekhodi bathole amafayela ahlolwe noma cha nhlobo kumarekhodi angu-77 amaphesenti ezicelo ngonyaka odlule. Sekukonke, abaphathi baka-Obama bacubungule izinto abaziphendulile noma benqaba ngokuphelele ukufinyelela kuzo kumarekhodi angama-596,095.

Ukugcwalisa i-FOIA kulezi zinsuku kufana nokuwela ingilazi ebheke kokunye okungokoqobo lapho ukuhleleka nengqondo kungatholakali. IPro Publica, inhlangano yezentatheli ephenya ngokungenzi inzuzo, isanda kunikelwa i-litany yezibonelo wokunyathela uhlangothi lukahulumeni komthetho.

Futhi ngihlala ngicwile kwi-odyssey yami ekhungathekisayo ye-FOIA. NgoJanuwari, ngacela amarekhodi athile ku-Food and Drug Administration maqondana nohlelo lokuhlola ukuphepha kokudla i-ejensi eyenzayo ukukala izinsalela ze-pesticis ekudleni. Lapho ngibuza ngesimo sesicelo sami, ngemuva kwezinsuku zokusebenza ezingama-20 ezidlulile, i-ejensi yangitshela ukuthi ilinde uphiko lwayo lokuhlola izidakamizwa kanye nesikhungo salo somuthi wezilwane ukufuna amarekhodi. Imibhikisho yami yokuthi amarekhodi ngokusobala ayengagcinwanga ezidakamizweni ze-FDA noma emayunithi wezilwane ayingifikisanga ndawo. Ngemuva kwezinyanga ezimbalwa, i-FDA ivumile ukuthi isicelo kumele sinikezwe uphiko lwayo lokuphepha kokudla, kodwa-ke ngatshelwa ukuthi impendulo izobambezeleka ngoba kukhona "ukusilela emuva ngenxa yezinguquko zabasebenzi." Ngiphinde ngatshelwa ukuthi amanye amarekhodi kufanele asuswe ne-Environmental Protection Agency, kepha isikhulu se-FDA FOIA esinikezwe isicelo sami besingacaciswanga ukuthi sizodluliselwa kanjani. Kusukela lapho ngitshelwe ukuthi i-ejensi ithole amakhulu amarekhodi aphendulayo esicelweni sami, kepha konke engikutholile empeleni kuyizaba eziningi zezaba nokubambezeleka, kanye nedlanzana lamarekhodi anezingxenye ezimbalwa ezimnyama.

I-FDA ikhombe kaninginingi ukuxolelwa okudumile "(b) (5)", okuvumela ama-ejensi ukuthi enze kabusha imininingwane ayibona njengengxenye "yenqubo yokubonisana." Ikomidi leNdlu lithole ukuthi ukukhululwa (b) (5) kusetshenziswa kabi yizinhlangano zikahulumeni kaningi kangangoba kwaziwa ngokuthi "kukugodle ngoba ufuna" ukukhululwa.

Futhi akuzona nje izinhlangano zikahulumeni ezisebenza ukuvimba ukufinyelela komphakathi kulwazi okungelomphakathi. Amanyuvesi ethu amaningi asemphakathini atholakele enza okungahambisani nemithetho yamarekhodi evulekile yombuso. Inhlangano engiyisebenzelayo, iqembu lokukhuthaza abathengi I-US Ilungelo Lokwazi, ngenyanga edlule wafaka icala ngokumelene neYunivesithi yaseCalifornia-Davis ngemuva kokuthi inyuvesi yehluleke isikhathi esingaphezu konyaka nesigamu ukuvula amarekhodi omphakathi. Futhi, izikhulu zombuso eMichigan badalulwa ngonyaka odlule ukukhuthaza ukukhokhiswa kwemali eshisiwe njengendlela yokudikibalisa izicelo zamarekhodi. Nezikhulu zikahulumeni waseNorth Carolina bayamangalelwa okweqa umthetho wamarekhodi womphakathi kuleso simo, nangokubambezeleka nezimali ezingekho emthethweni.

Lezi akuzona izindaba ezingasho lutho. Imininingwane ibanjiwe mayelana nokuphepha kokudla kwethu namakhemikhali endaweni yethu, ezinhlelweni zezindlu kanye nokubolekiswa kwezindlu, ukwenganyelwa kwamabhange, isenzo samaphoyisa, ukukhathazeka ngamasiko nokulawulwa kwemingcele, izindaba zokhetho nokunye. Ngaphandle kolwazi oluyiqiniso ngokusebenza kukahulumeni, umphakathi awukwazi ukwenza izinqumo ezinolwazi ebhokisini lokuvota noma wazi ngisho nokuthi uyayeseka noma uyayiphikisa imigomo yomphakathi.

OwayenguMongameli uJimmy Carter uthe: “Esikhathini esiningi, ukwambulwa kweqiniso, noma kungemnandi, kuyazuzisa.”

Olunye uhlaka lomthetho omusha osayinwe ngalo uJuni ukwakhiwa kweChief FOIA Officers Council (CFO), iqembu lezikhulu ze-FOIA eziphathiswe ukuthuthukisa izincomo zokwandisa ukuthobela i-FOIA kanye nokusebenza ezinhlelweni ezizokwandisa ukubonakala. Iqembu liphethe i- umhlangano womphakathi Septhemba 15. Izintatheli nabanye abanentshisekelo bayakhuthazwa ukuba babe khona.

Kuyisinyathelo esincane esihle phambili. Kepha abaholi bethu eWashington bangenza, futhi kufanele, benze okuningi ukuqinisekisa ukuthi iqiniso ngohulumeni wethu akunzima kangako ukulithola.

Ukuphenya Kwethu Ngokudla Okukhulu kanye Namaqembu Angaphambili

Phrinta imeyili Ungahlukıselana Ephathwayo
Posted on by UGary Ruskin

Ukuvuselelwa: Le bhulogi ivuselelwe ukufaka uhlu olusebenzayo lwe- izindaba zezindaba nokuphawula kudalwe uphenyo lwethu oluqhubekayo.

I-US Right to Know yenza uphenyo mayelana nokuhlanganiswa kwebetwUSRTK_FOIAIziceloI-AgroChemical_1een Ukudla Okukhulu, amaqembu angaphambili, kanye nobuchwepheshe benyuvesi nabasebenzi ukuletha imboni PR emphakathini. Lowo uphenyo luyaqhubeka. Kuze kube manje, kube nezithelo, njenganamuhla I-New York Times imibukiso.

The I-athikili ye-Times ixhumanisa nama-imeyili atholwe ngezicelo zombuso ze-Freedom of Information Act ezifakwe yi-US Right to Know. Lawa ma-imeyili aveza ukuthi iMonsanto nabalingani bayo basebenzisa kanjani ososayensi nabaprofesa abavela eceleni "abazimele" ukuletha imiyalezo yabo ye-PR. Njengoba izinkampani uqobo lwazo kungezona izithunywa ezinokwethenjelwa, zisebenzisa labo sosayensi kanye noprofesa njengodoli abangamasokisi ukwenza izindaba ezenziwa ngabezindaba ezindabeni zokudla, ikakhulukazi ama-GMO.

Le yingxenye esemqoka yecebo le-PR Lokudla Okukhulu. Izimboni zezolimo nezokudla ziyachitha omkhulu izibalo semali yokuqinisekisa umphakathi ukuthi ukudla kwabo, izitshalo, ama-GMO, izithasiselo nemithi yokubulala izinambuzane kuphephile, kuyathandeka futhi kunempilo.

I-US Right to Know ifake isicelo sombuso se-Freedom of Information Act sokuzama ukuthola ama-imeyili kanye nemibhalo yabasebenzi abangama-43 baseyunivesithi yomphakathi kanye nabasebenzi, ukufunda kabanzi ngalo mzamo wobudlelwano bomphakathi. Kuze kube manje, sesithole imibhalo kwezingu-XNUMX zalezi zicelo. Ngakho-ke, iningi lemibhalo kungenzeka lisazofika. Abanye bangafika ngesonto elizayo, abanye mhlawumbe bathathe unyaka noma ngaphezulu ukufika.

Sicele amarekhodi kososayensi, abezomnotho, osolwazi bezomthetho, ongoti bezokweluleka kanye nabaxhumanisi. Wonke umsebenzi usebenza ezikhungweni zikahulumeni, uxhaswe ngabakhokhi bentela. Sikholelwa ekutheni umphakathi ufanele ukwazi kabanzi ngokuhamba kwemali nezinga lokuxhumana phakathi kososayensi bamanyuvesi kawonkewonke kanye nezinye izifundiswa, kanye nezinkampani zezolimo nezokudla okugqugquzela izintshisekelo zazo.

Sinelungelo lokwazi ukuthi yini ekudleni kwethu, nokuthi izinkampani zizama kanjani ukuthonya imibono yethu ngakho. Kodwa-ke abanye bathola ukuveza obala kusongela kangangokuthi balinganisa imikhankaso yabathengi ngobushiqela ababi - njengakamuva Okuthunyelwe kuFacebook okuveze isithombe sami eceleni kwesikaStalin noHitler. Abanye bafanise umsebenzi wethu ne “ubuphekula"Nathi"amaphekula. "

Ukungafihli - nokubika okuphenyayo ngokudla kwethu - kungumongo walokho esikwenza lapha yi-US Right to Know.

Sikholelwa emazwini kaJames Madison, ngubani wabhala: “Uhulumeni odumile, ongenalo ulwazi oludumile, noma izindlela zokuwuthola, umane uyisandulela seFarce noma seNhlekelele; noma, mhlawumbe zombili. Ulwazi luyohlala lilawula ukungazi: Futhi abantu abaqonde ukuba ngababusi babo, kumele bazihlomise ngamandla olwazi olunikezwa wona. ”

Ekugcineni, igama elifushane mayelana noProfesa waseYunivesithi yaseFlorida uKevin Folta. Imiphumela ebaluleke kunazo zonke namuhla I-New York Times ziphathelene nemizamo ye-PR yeMonsanto kanye nemboni yezolimo. Kepha kufanele ukuthi uveze ukuthi uProfesa Folta wenqabe ephindelela - ngamanga - ukuba nobudlelwano neMonsanto noma ukwamukela izimali ezivela eMonsanto. Isibonelo, uProfesa Folta uthe:

UProfesa Folta ubuye naye wathi ngamanga akazange asebenzise umbhalo obhalelwe yena yi-PR eqinile iKetchum.

Okungcono kakhulu, lezi zinkulumo zikaSolwazi Folta ziyadukisa, futhi ezinye zazo azilona iqiniso. Kodwa-ke, njengoba ama-imeyili akhishwe namuhla embula, uFolta ubesondelene kakhulu neMonsanto kanye nenkampani ye-PR yomkhakha uKetchum, muva nje ithole isibonelelo esingavinjelwe esingu- $ 25,000 esivela eMonsanto, waze wabhalela nesikhulu seMonsanto, “Ngiyajabula ukusayina kunoma yini oyithandayo, noma ukubhala noma yini oyithandayo. ” (Bheka futhi uFebhu 2015 incwadi eya kuSolwazi Folta mayelana nezicelo zethu ze-FOIA.)

UProfesa Folta eceleni, kubalulekile futhi ukuqaphela ukuthi intshisekelo yethu yokwenza izinto obala ayiqondene nomuntu oyedwa noma abambalwa. Lokhu kumayelana nokuthi izinkampani ezinjengeMonsanto kanye namaqembu abo angaphambili zisebenzisa kanjani amanyuvesi ethu omphakathi kanye nososayensi kanye nezifundiswa abasebenza lapho njengamathuluzi wokuqhakambisa ama-ajenda abo kanye nenzuzo yabo.
