*A pathogenic virus has jumped from GMO Tobacco to Honeybees

Common GMO Tobacco Virus Potentially Linked to Bee Deaths...

 Veronica - Our Lady is standing over by the right side of the tree, directly above it. And Michael now is remaining above Our Lady's statue, high in the sky. He's looking down, and he's pointing now over to the spear, with his spear onto the left side of our sky here, and there are letters forming in the sky, in black letters: "PESTILENCE AND WAR."

    Now Michael is pointing with the spear, and there is a black horse running across the sky. It's a large black, ominous-looking horse, and it has a rider on it. The rider is dressed all in black; he looks almost like an executioner. He has a hood upon his head, and he's carrying something in his hand. I don't know what it is. It looks like a basket of some kind. Now behind him there's a green horse, and the green horse is, has also an ominous look. And now there's a voice crying: "Pestilence and sickness. Illness of the body. Pestilence, illness of the body."

What do you get when you cross a fish with an elephant? A patent.  But transgenic genetic modification is no joke. It has the potential to create new diseases that can jump species. A new study has found a pathogenic virus that has jumped from genetic engineers’ favorite test-bed, tobacco, to agriculture’s most important helper, honeybees. 

Honeybees are vitally important to our food supply and are dying off in massive numbers. Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD), first identified in 2006, has been killing about a third of honeybees each year.   Possible causes that have been investigated include diseases, parasites, and pesticides — in particular neonicotinoids. 

A new joint study from the USDA’s Agricultural Research Service in Beltsville, Maryland and the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Science in Beijing published in mBio, the American Society for Microbiology’s journal, may have identified another possible cause of CCD — a tobacco virus.

 Whether or not the Tobacco Ring Virus (TRSV) is the cause of CCD, the fact that a plant virus would make such a radical jump from plant to animal is a cause for concern.  It’s not just jumping from one species to another, but moving up 6 levels in the biological hierarchy and jumping from the plant kingdom to the animal kingdom. 

It’s even more interesting that it’s a tobacco virus since tobacco has been the go-to plant for Genetic Modification (GM).  Tobacco was the first genetically modified plant, first modified in 1982.  It has remained the most popular plant for genetic modification research, with GM tobacco plants secreting human proteins, producing rabies anti-bodies, and a plant that can’t stop growing.

It’s ironic that one of the touted success stories of transgenic engineering was to create a virus-resistant papaya in Hawaii.  Genetically modified papaya were created to stop the Papaya Ringspot Virus (PRSV).   Now the Tobacco Ringspot Virus has jumped from tobacco to honeybees and is thriving on them.  This is the nightmare scenario of genetic modification — that transgenic engineering would create, whether or not intentionally, virulent strains of viruses that would wipe out our food supply or even wipe out humans directly with genetic triggers.
