» Agri-Terrorism? Feds Shut Down Seed Library in Pennsylvania Alex Jones' Infowars: There's a war on for your mind!
In yet another example of the federal governments war on self-sufficiency, the U.S. Department of Agriculture shut down a seed library in Pennsylvania, claiming that a system whereby residents could borrow heirloom seeds and then replace them at harvest time was a violation of the 2004 Seed Act, while a commissioner warned that such behavior could lead to agri-terrorism.
...
The library has abandoned the seed system and instead can only promote events where residents are encouraged to directly swap seeds with each other.
Gosh, this makes me wonder when they are going to crack down on all of those GMO fields, with their grave concerns about cross-pollination, writes Daisy Luther. Look out, Monsanto oh, wait. This only applies to regular people growing vegetables. GMOs arent considered an invasive species.
While the USDA is busy cracking down on local seed libraries in the name of preventing cross-pollination, many accuse the federal agency of being completely in the pocket of biotech giant Monsanto, which itself has been responsible for cross-pollinating farmers crops with genetically modified seeds on an industrial scale.
Monsanto is also responsible for creating Agent Orange and PCBs, neither of which can be considered to have had a positive environmental impact.
David Swanson goes further, arguing that Monsanto is, responsible for environmental disasters that have destroyed entire towns, and a driving force behind the international waves of suicides among farmers whose lives it has helped ruin, and that the company, has monopolized our food system largely by taking over regulatory agencies like the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
