I believe this Monsanto issue is the crowning element in the rise of the corporatocracy, which is a giant step toward socialism.. The only way to counter what is happening to our nation and its government is a radical political revolution -- but a significant percentage of the American people are either too brainwashed, or too stupid, or both, to recognize the need and to participate.They control the seeds to the food and when someone controls the food they are uber powerful. Not only that but because Monsanto has given a lot of coin to Congress and the Senate, even becoming part of the government themselves now they are more than Uber powerful...Uberiest? IDK...But now since they've managed to get the Monsanto Protection act slipped into another bill...ANONOMOUSLY!?
Now they don't have to worry about the after effects of the GMO's. Mo' Money Mo' Money
Facts: Monsanto controls about 80-90% of the Soybean market, Monsanto controls about 70-80% of the sugar beet market
Monsanto sued an independent farmer, Percy Schmeiser, for patent infringement for growing GMO genetically modified Roundup resistant canola in 1998. Percy Schmeiser is a Canadian farmer whose canola fields were contaminated with Monsanto's Round-Up Ready Canola by pollen from a nearby GMO farm. Monsanto successfully argued in a lawsuit that Schmeiser violated their patent rights, and forced Schmeiser to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages.
etc etc etc. If you have any additional, interesting or otherwise facts on the company please post.
What do you think about it?
