(NaturalNews) This is a continuation from Part Three of a comprehensive investigative report revealing the untold story behind Jon Entine, biotech shill, character assassination operative, Forbes.com writer, American Enterprise Institute fellow and George Mason University research fellow. Entine also has ties to Monsanto and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

To protect the identity of Jon Entine's daughter, her name has been changed in this report to "Jenny." (Natural News asks members of the media to refrain from publishing the daughter's real name in plain text, as she is an innocent victim in these events.)

Part One of this Jon Entine investigative series revealed the verified court documents where Jon Entine's wife pleaded with the Ohio courts to issue a restraining order against Entine to protect herself and her daughter from physical injury. She also recorded, under oath, that Jon Entine violently attacked her, gouged her eye, choked her and shoved her. In additional court documents, Entine's wife described him as "irrational and unpredictable" ... "exceedingly hostile and belligerent" ... and explained that Jon Entine's "mental health has deteriorated..."

Part Two of this Jon Entine investigative series revealed how Jon Entine "purchased listening devices" to surveil his own wife, pursued romantic relationships in their home while she was still living there, interfered with his wife's professional business activities, and became "irrational and unpredictable" according to public court documents. It also covers how Jon Entine was fired from ABC News and reportedly manufactured false evidence to destroy a thriving company with a published hit piece.

Part Three of this Jon Entine investigative series reveals how Entine secretly vandalized the wikipedia page on Seralini and then got caught, how he demanded his wife turn over her personal diaries and journals, how he illegally entered her home -- causing her to demand his psychological evaluation -- and how he then threatened his traumatized daughter's own therapist with a lawsuit in order to halt therapy sessions.

An insidious master of defamation and character assassination

One of Jon Entine's behavioral patterns is to engineer wildly defamatory articles to be published in the media -- including Forbes.com -- knowing that those articles will likely result in him being sued.

The following screen shot of the divorce documents reveals how Jon Entine caused the stock price of a company he sought to destroy to plummet by $500 million even as he was expecting to be sued for defamation. This is a company he reportedly sabotaged to stage a production floor violation that he then used to call the FDA to report the violation! (This is all detailed in Part Three of this investigative article series.)

Entine's work is described in the statement below as an "explosive investigatory article" but we now know it fits his pattern of a false, defamatory hit piece unleashed as an editorial weapon for the purpose of destroying a targeted company:

Another screen shot from the documents reveals how Entine knows in advance that the publication of his articles will result in him being sued for defamation:

JON is writing a controversial article for Vanity Fair Magazine, for which he anticipates that he will be sued for defamation.

Entine threatens the credibility of George Mason University

As published on the Truthwiki.org Jon Entine page:

Arthur E. Berman, a petroleum geologist and consultant to the energy sector; editorial board member of The Oil Drum; Associate Editor of the AAPG Bulletin; Director of The Association for the Study of Peak Oil, wrote a letter to George Mason University dated July 4, 2011, that he also posted online on his blog, in which he sought to refute claims and assertions made by Jon Entine in his Real Clear Politics column published a few days earlier, on July 1, "Natural Gas "Bubble" Report: Market Tinkering or Shoddy Reporting?"

Berman writes:

His post contains errors, exaggerations and untrue statements that cannot be substantiated, and thereby jeopardize George Mason University's legal position and reputation as an honest broker of information.

I demand that Mr. Entine post public corrections to the many incorrect and unsubstantiated claims that he makes in this post. I further request that he write to me directly acknowledging that his post contained the many incorrect and undocumented claims that I specify below. He never contacted me or my clients to verify these claims and, apparently, did no research to document his many specious allegations.'

Berman then goes on to list the errors, exaggerations and statements he says are untrue. [2]

Entine attempts to sue others for merely questioning his qualifications

In his customary role of a belligerent bully as abundantly shown in parts One, Two and Three of this investigative series, Jon Entine threatens to sue others who merely call into question his own qualifications for things like giving speeches.

The following court document describes how Entine unsuccessfully attempted to sue a man named Bruce Humbert who questioned Entine's qualifications in an email to colleagues.

Entine claimed that "one email sent by Humbert to the organizers of a lunchtime forum for public-relations professionals was defamatory and has resulted in actionable injury to his reputation and to his consulting business. ... He brought these claims against Humbert for defamation, invasion of privacy, tortuous interference with business relationships, and intentional infliction of emotional distress."

(Condensed screen shot)


Fascinatingly, these are precisely the sorts of things Jon Entine commits against others. He knowingly defames people and spreads false information to destroy their reputations. He interferes with their business practices and inflicts emotional distress. The very things Jon Entine accused Humbert of committing are the same tactics used by Entine himself against GMO skeptics and scientists like Seralini.

Entine is an apologist for deadly chemicals like atrazine

As this investigative report clearly shows, Jon Entine is willing to fabricate false evidence, deliberately falsify "facts" to disparage his targets, invoke knowingly false allegations and engage in a vast array of contemptible violations of journalism ethics in order to destroy the reputations of his intended targets. According to his own wife's sworn court documents, Jon Entine engaged in domestic violence, child abuse, and attacked his wife by gouging her eye and choking her, then throwing her.

Entine is also an apologist for deadly chemicals that threaten life and poison humanity. Those chemicals, it turns out, are another form of violence against women, men and children.

This excellent article on PR Watch reveals Jon Entine's involvement in the greenwashing of atrazine, a deadly pesticide chemical which Entine implies is completely harmless.

This collection of unsealed court documents reveals the key players of the "pesticide apologist gang" -- called the "White House Writers Group" -- who were all part of a coordinated effort to spread the message that atrazine is harmless by invoking phrases like "sound science."

• John Stossel, whom Jon Entine partners with to broadcast GMO corporate propaganda.

• the American Enterprise Institute, where Entine is a research fellow.

• the Pacific Research Institute.

• John Miller, a pro-GMO scientist who was a key figure in lying to California voters to defeat the GMO labeling ballot measure there.

• "Highly influential Washington insiders and policy leaders."

The effort also involved the American Council for Science and Health (ACSH). ACSH has been called "a receptacle for payments from pharmaceutical, chemical, biotechnology, food and other companies who appreciate the convenience of having their grantees and former employees serve on government science panels," by Michael Jacobsen, the Director of the Center for Science in the Public Interest.

A far more detailed list is revealed in this PDF document which shows the Syngenta P.R. team outreach list. This list includes the American Enterprise Institute and a long list of corporate front group non-profits and universities whose "scientists" are shills for the biotech industry.
