There's nothing they are leaving untouched: the mustard, the okra, the bringe oil, the
rice, the cauliflower. Once they have established the norm: that seed can be owned as their property, royalties can
be collected. We will depend on them for every seed we grow of every crop we grow. If they control seed, they
control food, they know it -- it's strategic. It's more powerful than bombs. It's more powerful than guns. This is
the best way to control the populations of the world.
Hell No
GMO!

Darrin McBreen talks with Anthony Gucciardi
about Monsanto's dirty tricks exposed in GMO labeling battle.
Demonstrating yet again the power of acting
locally, two more counties have stopped Monsanto’s GMO farming at the county level. Monsanto has been unstoppable
in steamrolling state ballot measures for GMO labeling, spending tens of millions and outspending their opponents
anywhere from 2:1 to 5:1. But in Hawaii, even though Monsanto & Dow outspent their opponents 87:1 spending $8
Million — a record for any ballot measure in Hawaii — they LOST! And they lost in a California county too. And it
wasn’t just labeling, they stopped actual GMO production.
Monsanto’s GMO Creations Caused
291,000 Suicides in India Indian Farmers Facing
Debt, Reliance on GMOs
by Mike Barrett | Infowars.com | November 17, 2014
It is no secret that Monsanto is making life difficult for
countless farmers in America with its parented seeds. After all, the biotech giant has already filed 145 lawsuits,
or on average about 9 lawsuits every year for 16 straight years, against farmers who have “improperly reused their
patented seeds.” But did you know that Monsanto is also leading hundreds of thousands of farmers to
suicide?
Biotech has attempted dismiss the rise in farmer suicides in India due to the introduction of genetically
modified crops, but the problem is too pervasive to wipe under the rug. While there are numerous contributing
factors to farmer suicides in India, debt is the largest concern, which is largely fueled by non-viable crops.
Biotech sells seeds that either don’t grow or lead to the development of unstoppable
superweeds and superbugs. Subsequently, biotech urges and nearly forces farmers to purchase RoundUp and
other herbicidal chemicals which the farmers can ill afford. Thus, the mind-numbing cycle begins. Read this post
for more in-depth
information.
What’s worse is that after a farmer commits suicide, the debt falls on the remaining family members. Monsanto,
Dow, Bayer, and other suicide seed sellers have essentially created a generational slave economy based on their
toxic chemical and seed monopolies.
According to figures outlining farmer
suicide rates, 17,638 Indian farmers committed suicide in 2009 — about one death every 30 minutes. Oftentimes, the
farmers would commit the act by drinking the very same insecticide that Monsanto supplied them with — a terrible
end in which Monsanto has wrecked the lives of independent and traditional farmers.
Many families are now ruined thanks to the mass suicides, and are left to economic ruin and must struggle to
fight off starvation:
‘We are ruined now,’ said one dead man’s 38-year-old wife. ‘We bought 100 grams of BT Cotton. Our crop
failed twice. My husband had become depressed. He went out to his field, lay down in the cotton and swallowed
insecticide.’
Now, Monsanto has caused a massive 291,000 suicides in India with its GMOs, chemical creations, and
shameless business practices.
“. . . the motivations for these suicides follow a familiar pattern: Farmers become trapped in a cycle
of debt trying to make a living growing Monsanto’s genetically engineered Bt cotton. They always live close to
the edge, but one season’s ruined crop can dash hopes of ever paying back their loans, much less enabling their
families to get ahead. Manjusha’s father, like many other suicide victims, killed himself by drinking the
pesticide he spreads on his crops.”
In the video below, Dr. Vandana Shiva talks about the current situation in India and how GMO’s have affected
farmers there. Dr. Shiva is an Indian environmental activist and anti-globalization author.
There always seems to be something afoot that could possibly threaten our health and well-being.
And we generally don’t have to look very far to find it. On occasion, the news finds us. The problem is that the
threat is not always clear, nor are the actions we need to take to deal with it. It’s what makes it so hard for us
to avoid tripping over what is toxic to us. http://www.infowars.com/chuck-norris-...
Extensive List of Politicians Paid Off By
Monsanto

Democrat, Republican, it doesn’t matter. As long as you
can help Monsanto slide its icy tentacles into the food chain, then there’s some financial tip available to you.
Thankfully, many such ties can be exposed through some data digging, and thanks to diligent readers who send
comprehensive news tips and other
researchers out there, we now have an extensive list of politicians getting paid cold hard cash from GMO
juggernaut Monsanto.
Keep in mind these are the figures we know, which means that behind the scenes expect these numbers to
multiply extensively. But what is most amazing is that these politicians just don’t care that you know they’re
receiving thousands of dollars from Monsanto! They sweep it under the carpet, but they are openly taking money from
this corporation that has been
caught running ‘slave-like’ rings and disregarding public health. We’re talking about a corporation that
primarily aided in the creation of Agent Orange — the Vietnam-era chemical weapon that killed over 400,000 people and led to 500,000 plus birth
defects.
Looking at these figures, over $260,000 was openly pumped into the House, and
$122,000 was pumped into the Senate. And again, this is openly. I’m speculating, but
I would imagine the real number to easily be in the millions. Can you imagine how much they must pay these
politicians to shoot down GMO
labeling bills that 90 plus percent of the entire country
wants?
Or how about the nice chunk of cash that Monsanto paid Senator Roy Blunt to ‘help write’ the Monsanto Protection
Act that grants Monsanto immunity from federal courts? Roy’s cash payment is not included in this list, however RT
reports he received $64,250
towards his campaign from the company. Surely they expected nothing in return.
