I'm not sure what you mean so maybe you could better explain it. What I read is that Monsanto is selling seedless drought-tolerant GMO seeds to African farmers and the complaints I read online are that they're materially misrepresenting the output of these seeds to the point some farmers are ending up with losses as the expected crop outputs promised them fail to materialize but yet are still stuck in their contracts anyways going broke and hungry. I read other serious issues about soil infertility, etc... are being created. If true, this is obviously uber-predatory behavior that needs to end ASAP imo.


I'm also reading that Monsanto and other multinational agribusiness corporations are attempting to patent the majority of heritage seeds in each country which, of course, is simply evil. People should have a legal right to use heirloom seeds and reseed as they go without having to buy anything from a multinational agribusiness corporation to do so.

Monsanto is a predator, plain & simple. They're no different than the big corporations that are buying up the water rights & treatment plants in 3rd world countries & jacking up prices without caring for the poor.

It's easy to cut world population when you monopolize all the food & the water. And what's our govt doing about these monopolies? Nothin'.

Ever notice you never see our govt. helping these countries by donating water purifiers & sending agriculture engineers? But what do they do? Dump food out in the open for the enemies to confiscate..... or was that the plan all along?

Monsanto is a NWO player.... it's time to wake up & smell the coffee. :rolleyes:
 
Maybe, or not. But if so, it wouldn't be the first time and it won't be the last. Life goes on. But I always find it ironic that I'm supposed to be everyone else's "brother's keeper" while they don't have to, of course, be mine.

“Now this is the Law of the Jungle -- as old and as true as the sky;
And the Wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the Wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk the Law runneth forward and back --
For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.”

-Rudyard Kipling

I usually agree with you, but not today.....You missed it...... the mark, the point, everything. If it were me, I would take this as an insult. IMO, it doesn't matter what the "other" guy is, we're supposed to be better than that. No post gives us this excuse.

Instead of becoming our brother's keeper, we become what we think he is. That's what the real trolls want.:rolleyes:

I haven't seen anyone in this thread disagree with your assertion here. I'm not.

It's no conspiracy that Monsanto is against private property and overly protective worldwide of their patents. To the point of making other peoples seed illegal. Thankfully there's some people fighting to keep seeds free e.g. Linux for Lettuce.

Of course it's not just The World According to Monsanto you have to worry about. It's the fact that there's only about ten food companies left in the world; the rest are just puppets under the oligarchy...

 
I believe that these Bio-Tech Corporations are not only stopping at just crops for their daily income, but guess what else they are going to put on the menu?

I think I should clarify something that some people have given incorrect information on. Like ThomistColin's #5 post.

Genetically modifying does not mean you enhance the traits of the organism through itself. He uses the example of tomato's and how we made tomato's less deadly through selective breading- this is a hybrid not GMO. I have no knowledge on the history of tomato's but I do have knowledge on the terms Genetically Modifying and a Hybrid.

A Hybrid was given a perfect definition by thomistcolin story, that we changed a tomato by selective breading. You can see this in dogs, a Pitbull is a hybrid, as is a wolf. They have been breed to certain characteristics. So if there is a gene in a tomato that allows it to grow bigger and quicker and you bread that gene out, that is not genetic modification, but a new hybrid. Just like a Mastiff in the dog world.

A genetic modification is where we take traits that are desirable from an organism that can not breed your organism and inject those traits into your organism to improve it.
Such as, dogs do not have retractable claws, but cats do. Allowing dogs to have retractable claws would help their noise level in homes and scratch hard wood floors less... So we take the cats genes for retractable claws, inject them into the dogs genes and then delete the dogs genes for their original claws. We now have a Genetically Modified Organism...


Notice a Chihuahua is a hybrid, a Pitbull is a hybrid, a Wolf is a hybrid, a Doberman is a hybrid. Whether they are man forced decisions or nature forced both a wolf and a poodle are hybrids.

Dogs with retractable claws is a genetically modified organism.

Hybrids we only selected certain genes that are already existing in their genomes, and we mold our dog accordingly.
Genetically Modified Organisms, we take genes from one organism and put it into another.

Monsanto is playing God with GMO's. (genetically modified organisms)

Taking Pesticides and cross breeding them with corn. These pesticides are designed to kill insects by exploding their stomachs (no exaggeration). After harvest and even cooking the corn, the gene for killing insects stomachs is still active and then is given to us as food... When we eat the corn it tries to carry out the same effect but our stomach linings are massively thicker than the insects so it only deteriorates our stomachs compared to the insects... This creates many problems in your digestive system considering.

In 2012 an estimated 75% of all food in the grocery-store was corn based. Monsanto GMO corn is 80-86% of the entire corn crop in 2013.

Any long term studies of Monsanto's GMO corn shows increase in cancer, decrease in reproductive organs, shorter life spans, and smaller yields of the crop itself...



If you wish to see the economic side of Monsanto's GMO's i suggest you research India's mass suicides of farmers who right now are loosing their farms due to Monsanto.
