Monsanto - they can ruin the food content of crops, release dangerous plants into the ecosystem, make our soils barren, they are trying to totally control our food market, & they must be stopped...but our gov't keeps giving them ways to grow, to control how food is grown, & power to enforce their rigid patent rights on seed.

News we all need!

I knew it had to be Monsanto as soon as I saw the heading. THE MOST sinister company today?
There are several more to throw in the mix = Baxter Pharmaceuticals - Dupont - Microsoft - ADM - and any international bank!

Monsanto is killing us in several different ways = GMO's - Pesticides - Chemical fertilizers - artificial sweeteners.

But there are so many they can't all be named.

What sucks about this is getting people involved. We can write all the letters to these politicians that we want, however, these big corps like Monsanto, DuPont and so on use their own payola to do whatever the hell they want. I think that rabbit hole goes so deep that I believe we'd be shocked at what we're really getting.

Now, what can be done if these farmers all banded together, got a good legal team who'd represent them pro bono, get the press involved and bring public awareness to the forefront. Well kinda. I swear the people around me are more concerned with who's gonna win Dancing with the Stars than they were the election.

The courts have sided with Monsanto in every case so far. Even the blatantly obvious cases have been thrown out.
The media has either cowardice or coercion working against them. Fox backed off of a story on Monsanto's Bovine Growth Hormone and when the reporters sued, the courts threw it out. 100% documented case of liable.
P.S. the court had the nerve to say that coercion to broadcasting false news to the public is not illegal nor libelous.

So who do you think the high courts "work" for?
