                      Beste vrienden,<br>
                      <br>
                      Hoog tijd voor een update van het patatten-front,
                      want er beweegt van alles.<br>
                      <br>
                      <b>De Wetteren 11 gaan in beroep </b><br>
                      Op 24 september werden de 11 actievoerders van
                      Field Liberation Movement
                      veroordeeld tot voorwaardelijke gevangenisstraffen
                      tussen de drie en de zes
                      maanden, en boetes en schadevergoedingen van bijna
                      30.000 euro. De
                      correctionele rechtbank van Dendermonde
                      bestempelde hen als een criminele
                      bende, en ging niet in op de vraag of ggo&#8217;s nu
                      gevaarlijk zijn of niet. De
                      vrijwillige verschijners werden niet meegenomen in
                      het proces. Daarom gaan de
                      aardappelactivisten in beroep. GGO&#8217;s zijn immers
                      een zaak van iedereen, en
                      geven de toekomst van onze landbouw en onze
                      voedselvoorziening mee richting.
                      Hen bestempelen als criminele bende schept een
                      gevaarlijk precedent voor alle
                      vormen van maatschappelijke aktie. En wie is nu
                      eigenlijk de criminele bende?<br>
                      Nieuwe steunbetuigingen van Vandana Shiva,
                      Greenpeace, Anne Teresa de
                      Keersmaecker, Groen! en anderen. Ook een oproep
                      voor een breed gedragen
                      publieke actie voor verzet tegen de
                      criminalisering van actievoerders en voor
                      de vrijspraak van de aardappelactivisten. Bij de
                      ondertekenaars belangrijke

                      <b>GGO populieren op het veld?</b><br>
                      Op 2 oktober gaf de bevoegde Adviesraad voor de
                      Bioveiligheid een gunstig
                      advies over de aanvraag van het Vlaams Instituut
                      voor Biotechnologie (VIB) voor
                      de aanplant van een zevenjarig ggo-populierenbosje
                      te Wetteren, waarbij slechts
                      drie van de twaalf leden zich positief uitspraken,
                      en ondanks fel protest van twee
                      experten. Er werd niet eens over dit dossier
                      vergaderd, laat staan gestemd! Zie

                      <br>
                      Het GGO-populieren experiment is bizar. De bomen
                      zijn genetisch gemanipuleerd
                      om een lager gehalte aan lignine te hebben,
                      hetgeen de boomstammen hun
                      stevigheid geeft. Dit maakt het makkelijker het
                      hout te verwerken tot
                      &#8216;biobrandstof&#8217;. Maar blijkbaar geen haar op de
                      wijze hoofden die eraan denkt
                      wat er gebeurt als deze bomen grootschalig geteeld
                      worden en hun pollen
                      verspreiden naar inheemse populieren; dat wordt
                      een slap bos! Het advies van de

                      <br>
                      Uiteraard is dit &#8216;positieve&#8217; advies geen groen
                      licht, maar een oranje licht, en
                      kunnen de bevoegde ministers hun
                      verantwoordelijkheid nog opnemen en de
                      veldproef alsnog verbieden. Een baanbrekend nieuw

                      activists were sentenced to suspended prison terms
                      of between three and six
                      months, and fines and damages of nearly 30,000
                      euros. The court of Dendermonde
                      labeled them as a criminal gang, and did not
                      address the question of whether
                      GMOs are dangerous or not. The voluntary
                      defendants were not included in the

                      appealling. GMOs concern
                      everyone, and are shaping the future of our
                      agriculture and our food supply.
                      Labeling anti-GM activists as a criminal gang sets
                      a dangerous precedent for
                      all social movements.<span>&nbsp; </span>And who

                      out for a broad-based public action opposing the
                      criminalisation of activists
                      and demanding the acquittal of the GM potato
                      activists. The signatories include

                      trial<span>&nbsp; </span>of GM poplar trees in

                      have a single meeting to
                      discuss this issue, let alone a vote.<span>&nbsp;
                      </span>The GMO poplar experiment is strange. The
                      trees are genetically
                      manipulated to have an altered lignin content,
                      thus reducing their rigidity.
                      This makes it easier to process the wood into
                      &#8216;biofuel&#8217;. But nobody has given a
                      moment&#8217;s thought as to what happens when these
                      trees grow and spread their
                      pollen to native poplars, and whole woods can&#8217;t
                      stand up straight.<span>&nbsp; </span>You can read the

                      more
                      of an orange than a green light, and the relevant
                      ministers can still take
