From the linked article
"Here are just a few examples of the latest reports, articles and books exposing the dangers of GMOs, Big Ag's toxic chemicals and evidence of a decades-long cover-up to keep consumers in the dark."
Just pointing at that at no point is this statement substantiated. If you're going to make the claim that you're providing examples of the dangers of GMOs, provide examples of the dangers of GMOs. Only talking about so-called "Big Ag Toxic Chemicals" (I have biologist friends who will tell you horror stories about the less studied, potentially - and in some cases definitely - vastly more dangerous alternatives extensively used in so-called "organic farming" and claiming you're describing the documented dangers of GMOs is clearly an attempt to elide distinctions.
(3) Link irrelevant to point. The patent in question is on existing antibiotic resistance that has been transferred from bacteria to modified plants. The danger cited in the OP refers to antibiotic resistance acquired by bacteria due to the use of a range of herbicides that are mildly toxic to bacteria. They're different issues.
(4) Your link represents the views of a minority group, making inaccurate claims about the majority position. There is a strong scientific consensus on the general safety to human health of existing, widely used GM crops. Even worse is the appeal to European governments who have gone directly against the advice of their own scientific advisers in enacting anti-GMO measures, due not to science but popular political pressure. On this point, the actions of, say, the French government are not at all evidence of no consensus. Quite the opposite, they're evidence of popular refusal to listen to scientists and the political effects of unsubstantiated fear-mongering. The EU have conducted several broad-ranging studies of existing GMOs that were not industry-funded efforts and they in fact cement this consensus.
