Monsanto, an American mega giant monopolizes and
manipulate the Indian government and its farmer to the point that
over 200,000
of the farmers have committed suicide; it was and is all about greed. The
glowing report Monsanto had shown the Indian government to get their
cooperation was false and the farmers, poor, uneducated and not use to
unethical manipulative business practices were ripe for the picking. Monsanto
shut down the heirloom seed production and promised magic GMO seeds to the
farmers to make their lives better, but once they had their monopoly control on
the Indian market, the Indian famer’s savior became their enslaver and
executioner.
The seeds Monsanto delivered did
not produce the crops they promised but only led the farmers into debt; did
Monsanto give the farmers a break and try to figure out what was wrong with
their company’s seeds, no they raised the priced to an unbearable amount for
the Indian farmers. Unable to purchase traditional seeds, the farmers went from
paying $15 for 1000 grams of traditional heirloom seeds to paying $15 dollars
per 100 grams of GMO seeds, ten times the original price of the heirloom seeds.
I bet you are wondering why I am telling you this story. It’s because Monsanto is trying to, and with
the help of our government succeeding in creating the same monopoly in the
great USA.
You need to think about this, I
bought some bread today for $2 a loaf; if the same happens here as it did in India,
I would have pay $20 for the same loaf. A monopoly is never good and is the
reason Bell and
Microsoft were broken up, it gives the company to much power and the ability to
manipulate the free market system for profit. The “Monsanto Protection
Act,” was slid into a bill by either Sen.
Barbara Mikulski, D-Md or Sen. Roy Blunt,
R-MO (my guess, he received donations from Monsanto) and signed by President
Barack Obama without a congressional hearing. It strips the federal courts from
stopping the planting of GMO seeds when they are found to be dangerous to our
health; are you kidding me. It allows Monsanto to continue to sell GMO seeds
even when the courts discovered they were illegally
approved by the USDA.
Enlist which is intended to replace
Monsanto Co.'s successful Roundup Ready system, developed by Dow Agro Sciences;
a unit of Dow Chemical in coordination with Monsanto has U.S. regulators with an array of
concerns including concerns from public health officials. With this law being
passed if these seeds were found to cause grave damage to fields or sickness to
people, the courts couldn’t stop it production or sale. Why would any president
sign this bill; pay off (donations) or kick-back is the only reasoning that
comes to mind.
A
study published in the journal “Food and Chemical Toxicology” reported on
one of the best conducted and one of the only long-term studies of the effect
of genetically modified (GMO) foods on overall health and tumor induction. In
this study, animals were fed the GMO corn for two years in concentrations
commensurate to what people would eat. What they found is beyond shocking. The
animals fed GMO food died two to three times more often than the animals eating
a normal diet. Male rats demonstrated liver damage 2.5 to 5.5 times more often
than control rats. Some 80 to 90 percent of soy used in our food is now
genetically modified, and women are consuming incredible amounts in a mistaken
belief that it will prevent breast cancer. Even more frightening is that almost
half of all babies are now being fed soy-based formula.
In the course of analysis to identify potential allergens in GMO crops, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has belatedly discovered that the most common genetic regulatory sequence in commercial GMOs also encodes a significant fragment of a viral gene (Podevin and du Jardin 2012). This finding has serious ramifications for crop biotechnology and its regulation, but possibly even greater ones for consumers and farmers. This is because there are clear indications that this viral gene (called Gene VI) might not be safe for human consumption.
This is only side one, side two is
how in the US Monsanto starts GMO crops next to farmers with heirloom seeds
with their only purpose being to later sue the farmers charging them with patent
infringement when bees pollinate the heirloom crops. Monsanto then sues the
farmers, try to take their land; the question is, “How did Monsanto find out if
the crops were pollinated with bees from Monsanto’s crops?” It’s easy, they
trust pass, take samples, and then fill
charges in nearly every case; isn’t trust passing against the law? Monsanto
and its cronies are suing their way to turning our farms into what has happened
in India
unless you pay their blood money and our government is protecting them, not the
people. If you don’t purposely want their pollen on your plants they should pay
you for contaminating your crops but our government once again is standing up
for the big cooperation; the Democrats blamed President Bush for this but this
time it is the Democrats doing it. As I have said; They both, Democrats and
Republicans need to go, especially when the don’t stand up for the common every
day little guy but for the big companies (this includes unions) who will give
them the most donations for the next election. Does this sound like they are
“For the People; or just getting elected again”? I didn’t think we could have
had a President or government more corrupt then President Nixon was; I guess our
current unfortunately has made a liar out of me.
