The scenario is,
scientists versus environmentalists and, pragmatists versus
idealists, an unequal fight, with a very predictable outcome.
Neither could it be any different, when the rules of the game are
defined by just one of the sides, as is the case here.
The
disparate forces between the parts is such that it is evidenced by the
contenders' own denominations, woven by the stronger group and dressed
by the weaker one, without question.
Realistic versus utopians,
progressists versus retrogrades.
On the “right” side of
the battle, of the winners, canton impeccable legions of
rationalists', realistic minded, feet on the ground, uniformed,
overflowing with scientific work and all of them irrefutable. On the
“wrong” side of the battle, the losers, appear like a bunch of lost,
noisy, dreamers grouped together, some badly huddled visionaries,
armed with just visceral indignation and an intimate restlessness
whose causes is unclear.
The high command of the transgenic movement knows
that total victory is a just a question of time. Each new country that
capitulates under the heavy fire of the technician’s reports, whose
well-aimed artillery - is unassailable because its non-stop -
constitutes the most excessive of battles, on the frontlines, of this
new unforeseen world war. With this, the generals of the degenerated
genetics continually gain more and more ground everywhere and
consolidate their positions. Making human prepotency its headquarters,
satisfied they contemplate the continuous advance of the enlightened
troops. Complete victory is at hand, for those who want to see it, on
the gloomy horizon of this world, of this world that was once ours but
now belongs to them. It seems that no heartfelt rising opposition can
confront the saturated bombardment of the scientific missiles,
preceded by the characteristic whistle and charged with shameful and
contemptuous content of the unbeaten intellectuals. The overwhelming
victory of the transgenic products will be one more entry into the
ledger of so many other achievements of human talent, like radioactive
waste, authorized pollution quotas, predatory fishing, hunting,
sustainable extraction, the use of guinea pigs in experiments, pâté de
foie gras, and the cloning of animals... A series of endless horrors
It is true that one cannot deny the results of the
scientific reports. They accomplish exactly what is expected or
demanded from them: they scientifically prove that the transgenic
seeds are safe, they scientifically prove that they do not cause
damage to the environment and to people's health. Therefore, all this
they accomplished, scientifically.
And this is the biggest tragedy of all. Accepting
scientific reports on this subject is the same as handing over the hen
house key to the fox. Unfortunately, however, this is what happens. As
nearly the majority of people see science as the pinnacle of human
capacity, and the scientists as true gods, with such power or even
more spectacular than those of mythology, they really believe that
science is the just and infallible umpire for this matter. With eyes
staring upwards, without blinking, fixed on the scientific community,
they eagerly await the descent of the Olympian light of academic
wisdom, which will illuminate their ignorance and will guide them
along the paths of an admirable world new. Sustained by a touching
ingenuity, they are cocky that if science gives a favorable report to
the transgenic products, then this will be the proof that they are
approved...
Such a sweet and sad illusion, for no matter how
elaborated, or how detailed the scientific reports are and the
voluminous studies of the environmental impact are, they will never be
able to foresee the final disastrous effects of transgenic science.
Simply because these last, devastating effects, neither present any
sign, nor is there any physical perceptible indication, which could
eventually be detected in the changed genetic code. Transgenic food
was not programmed to give any warning of what they are capable of
provoking; they just silently wait like mines, impassive as a time
bomb, for the anguished scream of a soon perplexed society that shall
echo throughout the fields and cities nourished by them. The
interrupted unison scream of... “It’s too late!”
The
transgenic seeds hold a changed irradiation, and for this reason do
not belong to nature as such. They do not make up part of nature
anymore, as they are no longer natural! And what is not natural
brings within itself the germ of death.
But here already we enter into a field that the
human intellect cannot manage to accompany, much less assimilate. This
notorious inability, this unbeatable limitation of the human intellect
then manifests itself in the form of negligence and mockery on the
behalf of the rationalists. As the intellect cannot understand
anything that is beyond what is merely earthbound, as it is only a
product of the brain, it rejects everything else as impossible,
because for that, in fact, it is impossible to discern reality just as
it is. In this particular case, the intellect does nothing other than
infuse on the circumspect faces that disguise so many sagas brains, a
certain air of intelligence garnished by a mocking smile, nothing more
than that. The correctness of character, the purity of heart, the
nobility of soul, the vivacity of spirit, are not qualities that can
be observed in the DNA, and because of this we shall never by trickery
obtain a materialistic scientist genetically modified to do good. The
few really good ones are so by their own nature, and these will never
defend transgenic manipulation.
These scarce researchers with integrity cannot
assure that transgenic crops are innocuous they cannot asseverate that
they only bring benefits. And how could they do that? How could they
divulge the advantages of a transgenic plant resistant to agro toxics
if it was themselves that modified it so criminally, introducing
them as one more toxic in the agricultural world? A new and unknown
“agro toxic”! How would it be possible for them to defend the genetic
poisoning of a culture that it is resistant to poisons?... We shan’t
even argue here about the alleged economic advantages of the
transgenic seeds, because that would be going down to the manure level
in dealing with the problem. No reasonably lucid researcher and
minimally honest person could transfer the preoccupation with the
health of consumers to a level inferior to that of the reduction of
farming costs.
A transgenic seed is a foreign body, an antigen
injected into a perfect organism. It happens, my well-intentioned
friends that this perfect organism, nature, is well able to defend
itself from the pathogenic strains, and it really does, with
invariably catastrophic results for humanity. This, in fact, it could
have already recognized, if one’s intellective presumption did not
continually obstruct one’s spiritual intuition.
All of
the so-called unbalances of nature are not unbalances at all, they are
in fact only automatic reactions to man's deleterious action. Wherever
this creature has put his hand, an incubated germ of destruction was
left behind that always took root, sooner or later. Uncontrollable
plagues, inclement droughts, devastating floods and so many other
“disturbances” of nature are just reciprocal effects against the
biggest plague of all, the Parasite sapiens, that are now
trying to cultivate one more excrescence inside the formerly healthy
body of nature, in the form of transgenic seeds and plants. The human
species is the serial killer of life on Earth, it is the
biggest enemy of nature ever. But you can be sure, very sure indeed,
that for some time now it has been recognized as such, and now it is
being dealt with correspondingly.
That
is why, the environmentalists-idealists are classified as a bit thick
in the head but they need not despair in their quixotic fight against
the transgenic products and their sponsors. Nothing that is contrary
to nature, therefore contrary to the natural laws, can subsist
indefinitely. It lasts for a short period of time and then exemplarily
disappears, it succumbs spectacularly, like a testimony of the most
profound failure of human arrogance. Incomprehensible arrogance of a
species that dared want to improve nature, without first trying to
know about its legitimate Owner by the consequences of his actions
and, above all, if it by chance ever had the permission to act this
way.
However, the knowledge of this inevitable collapse
of all that was twisted by the human intellect does not signify that
the defenders of nature should wait sitting down, observing from the
theatre box the unraveling of this tragic drama on the claudicante
stage of human prepotency. No, each one should be a sounding trumpet,
consciously facing the enormous wall raised by the rationalists'
presumption so that its collapse can come about quicker still, for the
relief and blessing of all cleaned soul people. Nothing else other
than these trumpets played with the enthusiasm of idealism are
necessary, no violence, no political party flags, no narrow-minded
ideologies.
The environmentalists can, should and must fight
with the full conviction of justice for their cause. They should not
advance with bowed heads, oppressed, and fearful of yet another defeat
into of the operating theater. This would be a deplorable image, even
in the opponent's eyes. Focus on the example of a certain martial
arts, whose motto is written in eastern ideograms on the band that
hangs from the fighter's outfit: “Who fears to lose has already lost.”
Do not fear to lose.
This time face the opponent with haughtiness,
resolve and without mourning. Face him without fear, without regret of
being unable to counter him a scientific shield. Our paradigm is
another. The maxims of our hearts are enough for us. If they are just,
if they are tuned in with the laws that govern Creation, then the
victory against the aberration of transgenics is certain. It will be
the first great first victory of a series, of our series.
