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.

The
World According to Monsanto
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. The story
starts in the White House, where Monsanto often got its way by exerting disproportionate influence over
policymakers via the "revolving door". One example is Michael Taylor, who worked for Monsanto as an attorney before
being appointed as deputy commissioner of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1991. While at the FDA, the
authority that deals with all US food approvals, Taylor made crucial decisions that led to the approval of GE foods
and crops. Then he returned to Monsanto, becoming the company's vice president for public policy.
Thanks to these intimate links between Monsanto and government agencies, the US adopted GE foods and crops without
proper testing, without consumer labeling and in spite of serious questions hanging over their safety. Not
coincidentally, Monsanto supplies 90 percent of the GE seeds used by the US market. Monsanto's long arm stretched
so far that, in the early nineties, the US Food and Drugs Agency even ignored warnings of their own scientists, who
were cautioning that GE crops could cause negative health effects. Other tactics the company uses to stifle
concerns about their products include misleading advertising, bribery and concealing scientific evidence.
It is hardly surprising that the first thing Bayer did after completing their takeover of
Monsanto earlier this month was to announce that they were dropping the Monsanto name, merging the two companies'
agrichemical divisions under the Bayer Crop Science name. After all, as everyone knows, Monsanto is one of the most
hated corporations in the world. But Bayer itself has an equally atrocious history of death and destruction.
Together they are a match made in hell.
Regulatory Capture: Incestuous
Relationship Between EPA & Companies It's Supposed To Protect Us From

Glyphosate residues have been found in tap water, orange
juice, children’s urine, breast milk, chips, snacks, beer, wine, cereals, eggs, oatmeal, wheat products, and most
conventional foods tested. It’s everywhere, in brief
First published by Global Research on April 27, 2019
As new studies continue to point to a direct link between the widely-used
glyphosate herbicide and various forms of cancer, the agribusiness lobby fights ferociously to ignore or
discredit evidence of human and other damage. A second US court jury case just ruled that Monsanto, now a part
of the German Bayer AG, must pay $ 81 million in damages to plaintiff Edwin Hardeman who contracted
non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma cancer. The ruling and a line-up of another 11,000 pending cases in US courts going
after the effects of glyphosate, have hit Bayer AG hard with the company announcing several thousand layoffs
as its stock price plunges.
In a trial in San Francisco the jury was unanimous in their verdict that Monsanto Roundup
weed-killer, based on glyphosate, had been responsible for Hardeman’s cancer. His attorneys stated,
“It is clear from Monsanto’s actions that it does not care whether Roundup causes cancer,
focusing instead on manipulating public opinion and undermining anyone who raises genuine and legitimate concerns aboutRoundup.”
It is the second defeat for the lawyers of Monsanto after another jury ruled in 2018 that
Glyphosate-based Roundup was responsible for the cancer illness of a California school grounds-keeper who
contracted the same form of cancer after daily spraying school grounds with Roundup over years, unprotected. There
a jury found Monsanto guilty of “malice and oppression” in that company executives, based on internal email
discovery, knew that their glyphosate products could cause cancer and suppressed this information from the
public.
A new independent study shows that those with highest exposure to glyphosate have a 41%
increased risk of developing non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) cancer. A meta-analysis of six studies containing nearly
65,000 participants looked at links between glyphosate-based herbicides and immune-suppression, endocrine
disruption and genetic alterations. The authors found “the same key finding: exposure to GBHs (glyphosate-based
herbicides) are associated with an increased risk of NHL (Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma).” Further, they stated that
glyphosate “alters the gut microbiome,” and that that could “impact the immune system, promote chronic
inflammation, and contribute to the susceptibility of invading pathogens.” Glyphosate also ”may act as an endocrine
disrupting chemical because it has been found recently to alter sex hormone production” in both male and female rats.
In a long-term animal study by French scientists under Gilles Eric Seralini, Michael Antoniou
and associates, it was demonstrated that even ultra-low levels of glyphosate herbicides cause non-alcoholic liver
disease. The levels the rats were exposed to, per kg of body weight, were far lower than what is allowed in our
food supply. According to the Mayo Clinic, today, after four decades or more pervasive use of glyphosate
pesticides, 100 million, or 1 out of 3 Americans now have liver disease. These diagnoses are in some as young as
8 years old.
But glyphosate is not only having alarming effects on human health. Soil scientists are
beginning to realize the residues of glyphosate application are also having a possibly dramatic effect on soil
health and nutrition, effects that can take years to restore.
Killing Soils too
While most attention is understandably drawn to the human effects of exposure to glyphosate,
the most widely used agriculture chemical in the world today, independent scientists are beginning to look at
another alarming effect of the agrochemical– its effect on essential soil nutrients. In a study of the health of
soils in the EU, the online journal Politico.eu found that the effects of spraying of glyphosate on the major crops
in European agriculture is having disastrous consequences on soil health in addition to killing weeds.
Scientists at Austria’s University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences in Vienna showed
that casting activity of earthworms had nearly disappeared from the surface of farmland within three weeks of
glyphosate application. Casting is the process of the worm pushing fertile soils to the surface as they burrow,
essential for healthy soil and plant nutrition. A study at Holland’s Wageningen University of topsoil samples from
more than 300 soil sites across the EU found that 83% of the soils contained 1 or more pesticide residues. Not
surprisingly,
“Glyphosate and its metabolite AMPA, DDTs (DDT and its metabolites) and broad-spectrum
fungicides… were the compounds most frequently found in soil samples and at the highest concentrations.”
The use of various pesticides, above all glyphosate-based ones like Roundup, has exploded
over the past four decades across the EU much as across the USA. The agribusiness industry claims that this has
been the key to the dramatic rise in farm crop productivity. However if we look more closely at the data, while
average yields of major grains such as rice, wheat and maize have more than doubled since 1960, the use of
pesticides like glyphosate-based ones has risen by 15-20-fold. Oddly enough, while the EU requires monitoring of
many things, monitoring of pesticide residues in soil is not required at the EU level. Until recently the effects of heavy use of
pesticides such as Roundup have been ignored in scientific research.
Evidence of soil experts is beginning to reveal clear links between use of pesticides such as
glyphosate and dramatic drops in soil fertility and the collapse of microbe systems essential to healthy soil.
Worms are one of the most essential.
It’s well-established that earthworms play a vital role in healthy soil nutrients. Soils
lacking such are soils that deprive us of the essentials we need for healthy diets, a pandemic problem of soil
depletion emerging globally over the past four decades, notably the same time frame that use of pesticides has
exploded worldwide. Earthworms are beneficial as they enhance soil nutrient cycling and enhance other beneficial
soil micro-organisms, and the concentration of large quantities of nutrients easily assimilable by plants.
The EU puts no limits on how much glyphosate can be put on crops even though it is
established that glyphosate can kill specific fungi and bacteria that plants need to suck up nutrients in addition
to its effects on earthworms. That is a major blind spot.
Where now?
What is becoming clearer is the colossal and obviously deliberate official blind eye given to
potential dangers of glyphosate-based pesticides by regulatory bodies not only in the EU and the USA, but also in
China, which today produces more glyphosate than even Monsanto. Since the Monsanto Roundup patent expired,
Chinese companies, including Syngenta, Zhejiang Xinan Chemical Industrial Group Company, SinoHarvest, and Anhui
Huaxing Chemical Industry Company, have emerged as the world’s major producers of the chemical as well as
largest consumers, a not good omen for the future of the legendary Chinese cuisine.
Glyphosate is the base chemical component for some 750 different brands of pesticides
worldwide, in addition to Monsanto-Bayer’s Roundup. Glyphosate residues have been found in tap water,
orange juice, children’s urine, breast milk, chips, snacks, beer, wine, cereals, eggs, oatmeal, wheat products, and
most conventional foods tested. It’s everywhere, in brief.
Despite the overwhelming evidence, however, EU Commission bureaucrats and the USA EPA
continue to ignore prudence in not banning the toxic chemical pending thorough independent investigation over
longer time. If I were cynical, I would almost think this continued official support for glyphosate-based
herbicides is about more than mere bureaucratic stupidity or ignorance, even more than simply corruption, though
that for sure plays a role. The nutritional quality of our food chain is being systematically destroyed and it is
about more than corporate agribusiness profit.

This skilfully researched book focuses on how a small socio-political American elite seeks to
establish control over the very basis of human survival: the provision of our daily bread. “Control the food and
you control the people.”
This is no ordinary book about the perils of GMO. Engdahl takes the reader inside the corridors
of power, into the backrooms of the science labs, behind closed doors in the corporate boardrooms.
The author cogently reveals a diabolical world of profit-driven political intrigue, government
corruption and coercion, where genetic manipulation and the patenting of life forms are used to gain worldwide
control over food production. If the book often reads as a crime story, that should come as no surprise. For that
is what it is.
The original source of this article is Global Research
The World Health Organization provides public health
recommendations about the use of pharmacologic drugs and vaccines and provides guidelines and assistance in public
health emergencies. When it was founded in 1948, the WHO relied on funding from its member states; their
contributions were assessed based on their national income and population. The funds were not earmarked for any
particular policy. In those days, the WHO was an independent organization. But over time, the WHO leadership traded
its independence and with it, its integrity, for big money.
In 1988, Halfdan Mahler, Director General of the WHO from 1973 to
1988, warned the world against the power wielded by the pharmaceutical industry over the WHO. He stated, in the
Danish daily newspaper (Politiken): “this industry is taking over WHO”. Unfortunately, no one at that time believed
him.[1] The take-over intensified; with Big Pharma dictating global public health policies that the WHO initiates
and promotes. Those policies have vastly enriched Big Pharma, and the WHO has been generously rewarded for its
service.
Currently, 80% of the WHO budget relies on earmarked donations;
primarily from the U.S. government, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and Big Pharma. The WHO revenue in
2016-2017 was $5, 139 Billion, of which only $927 million came from assessed contributions by member states; these
“core” funds cover the WHO’s general expenses. By contrast, $4,422 Billion were provided by major donors; and these
funds are earmarked for activities that serve the donor’s financial interests. These major donors dictate and
control the WHO policies, ensuring that WHO policies further their interests. [2]
The WHO, it should be noted, is not accountable to public scrutiny
– as non-profits are. The internal documents of the WHO are not available under Freedom of Information, and most of
the WHO’s financial contracts are secret. In essence, the WHO became a vassal of, and the global marketing agent
for Big Pharma and its aggressive drug and vaccine market expansion agenda. Time and again, the WHO has
demonstrated its allegiance to its financial backers; adopting that have vastly enriched Pharma – even as the
widespread, use – and misuse – of multi-drug cocktails and multi-virus vaccines – have caused epidemic number of
serious adverse side-effects, hospitalizations, chronic illnesses, and deaths. [3]
During Margaret Chan’s tenure, Bill Gates has had a
disproportionate influence over the WHO; his foundation has contributed more than $2.4 billion, while member
countries have grown reluctant to put their money into the agency, especially after the 2008 global financial
crisis. Bill Gates has been labeled by some as “the world’s most powerful
doctor”.

BREAKING: Study Shows GM Corn Cause Massive Tumors
in Lab Rats
Eating genetically modified corn (GM corn) and consuming trace levels of Monsanto's Roundup
chemical fertilizer caused rats to develop horrifying tumors, widespread organ damage, and premature death. That's
the conclusion of a shocking new study that looked at the long-term effects of consuming Monsanto's genetically
modified corn.
The study has been deemed "the most thorough research ever published into the health effects of GM food crops and
the herbicide Roundup on rats." News of the horrifying findings is spreading like wildfire across the internet,
with even the mainstream media seemingly in shock over the photos of rats with multiple grotesque tumors... tumors
so large the rats even had difficulty breathing in some cases. GMOs may be the new thalidomide. http://www.infowars.com/new-gmo-study...

It reported, “Scientists found that rats exposed to even the smallest amounts, developed mammary tumors and
severe liver and kidney damage as early as four months in males, and seven months for females.”
It goes on to say: “The animals on the GM diet suffered mammary tumors, as well as severe liver and kidney

only 30 percent and 20 percent in the control group.” (Article Continued Below)

Genetic Fallacy: How Monsanto
Silences Scientific Dissent
That a former Monsanto scientist should find himself in charge of a specially-created post at the very journal that
published two landmark studies questioning the safety of that company's products should surprise no one who is
aware of the Monsanto revolving door. This door is responsible for literally dozens of Monsanto officials,
lobbyists and consultants finding themselves in positions of authority in the government bodies that are supposedly
there to regulate the company and its actions.

"GMO pushers will
lie, cheat, steal, falsify and even mass-murder as many people as it takes to further their agenda
of total global domination over the entire food supply…
at ANY cost."
After it was exposed that
theBill & Melinda Gates
Foundation, the philanthropic brainchild
ofMicrosoft founder Bill Gates, purchased 500,000 shares inMonsanto back in 2010 valued at more than $23
million, it became abundantly clear that this so-called benevolent charity is up to something other than
eradicating disease and feeding the world’s poor (http://www.guardian.co.uk). It turns out that the Gates family legacy has long been one of trying to dominate and
control the world’s systems, including in the areas of technology, medicine, and now agriculture.
TheGates
Foundation, aka the tax-exempt Gates Family Trust, is currently in the
process of spending billions of dollars in the name of humanitarianism to establish a global food monopoly
dominated by genetically-modified (GM) crops and seeds. And based on the Gates family’s history of involvement in
world affairs, it appears that one of its main goals besides simply establishing corporate control of the world’s
food supply is to reduce the world’s population by a significant amount in the process.

Fort McClellan is the former home of the U.S. Army Military Police and U.S. Army Chemical
Schools. Located in Anniston, Ala., it was one of the largest training posts the Army had to offer before the
Environmental Protection Agency closed the fort down in 1999. Nearly 500,000 men were trained there during WWII,
and hundreds of thousands of others used this installation to hone their military skills during the post's 82-year
history.
Countless brave men and women spilled blood, sweat and tears over the training grounds. Everyone lived in close
quarters and prepared for combat abroad — much like any other fort. But throughout the fort's long run, there was a
dark secret that nobody — save a chemical company — knew about.
Between 1933 and 1999, Fort McClellan was constantly exposed to major biochemical health hazards, including
ionizing radiation and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs).
Fort McClellan was one of the largest Army training posts.
Anniston, Alabama, home of Ft. McClellan.
Think about that for a second.
The people living at or around Fort McClellan were soaking up PCBs and other caustic chemicals through the air,
water, soil and wildlife, all over a 66-year span. Soldiers were laying in them on the firing range, they filled
their canteens with them during "hydration formations," and they breathed them in while they ran "Cardiac Hill."
And they never suspected a thing. http://www.veteransunited.com/network...
In any honest ranking of the world’s most
hated corporations, Monsanto is almost certain to find itself at the top of the list. Indeed, it is difficult to
think of a company that has affected the lives of so many around the world, either directly through its coercive
and litigious practices against small farmers the world over, or indirectly through the pollution of the food
supply with their genetically modified crops. And despite what corporate apologists and paid shills would have the
public believe, the company’s abominable reputation is not based on knee-jerk anti-corporatism, but the documented
record of Monsanto’s own history and actions.
Many are familiar with the company’s sordid past, including its role in the development of Agent Orange and its contribution to the epidemic of farmer suicides in India, but in recent years Monsanto has gained special notoriety for its
attempts to push the boundaries of patent law in a self-admitted attempt to gain a monopoly over the world’s
food supply. [See this and this and this.]
The company’s remarkable record in court has helped it set worrying precedents in the field of
patent law, not just in the United States but in numerous districts around the world. Some might attribute the
company’s success to blind luck, or to the vast resources it has available to prosecute its cases against
cash-strapped farmers, but the real secret to Monsanto’s court victories is to be found in the infamous Monsanto /
government revolving door.
The list of Monsanto employees and consultants who have also held key roles in the U.S.
government is truly staggering. It includes such names as Dennis DeConcini the US Senator who also served as
Monsanto Legal Counsel, Mickey Kantor, Commerce Secretary under President Clinton who also served as a Monsanto
board member, Michael Taylor, Obama’s Deputy FDA Commissioner who also served as Monsanto’s VP for Public
Policy, Linda Fisher, a senior EPA official who later became Monsanto’s VP of Government and Public Affairs, US
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, who served as a corporate lawyer for Monsanto in the 1970s, and literally
dozens of other examples.
These judicial successes culminated in recent weeks in what may be the company’s largest victory
to date: the passage of the so-called Monsanto Protection Act, which stacks the deck even further in Monsanto’s favour.
For a company so universally reviled there has been remarkably little coordination of grassroots
resistance to Monsanto and its agenda. Protest has been haphazard, and, while occasionally symbolically effective,
have done little to derail the Monsanto freight train from its path of worldwide domination of the food supply.
Later this month, however, a new grassroots movement seeking to galvanize resistance to the
multinational will stage an unprecedented worldwide protest rally against the company, coordinating marches in hundreds of cities
involving tens of thousands of people all across the globe.
Earlier this month I had the chance to interview Tami Canal, the organizer and founder of the March Against Monsanto, about the
movement and what it is seeking to accomplish.
The March Against Monsanto is necessarily only the first link in a potential chain of reaction
that could help to galvanize grassroots resistance to the Monsanto juggernaut and encourage people around the world
to participate in a boycott of the company and the products derived from its seeds. Like any chain, it will take
time and patience to forge, and it will be created link by link, as more and more people are educated about the
dangers of Monsanto, its seed patents, and its seeds themselves. Ultimately, what becomes of such a movement
depends on the grassroots itself: either it will re-commit itself to the fight against the company and its
practices, or it will opt to maintain the status quo, hoping that some government officials not bought off or in
the employ of the company will somehow pass some piece of legislation that will make everything better again.
Whatever the outcome, it cannot be denied that the struggle itself is of paramount importance. If
there is any truth to the age-old dictum that you are what you eat, then the population of the world is slowly
turning into Monsanto. Given the chilling nature of that thought, can there be any doubt as to why the public needs
to engage in this fight?

Monsanto More Powerful Than The U.S.
Government
It's called the Monsanto Protection Act among activists and concerned citizens who have been
following the developments on the issue, and it consists of a legislative 'rider' inside (Farmer Assurance
Provision, Sec. 735) a majority-wise unrelated Senate Continuing Resolution spending bill. You may already be aware
of what this rider consists of, but in case not you will likely be blown away by the tenacity of Monsanto lobbyist
goons.
If this rider passes with the bill, which could be as early as this week, Monsanto would have complete immunity
from federal courts when it comes to their ability to act against any new Monsanto GMO crops that are suspected to
be endangering the public or the environment (or considered to be planted illegally by the USDA). We're talking
about courts that literally can do nothing to Monsanto if it's found that their newest creation may be promoting
cancer, for example. Whether it's a GMO banana or an apple, Monsanto could continue planting the food abomination
all it wants under court review. http://www.infowars.com/monsanto-prot...

Monsanto and the FDA: 2 crimes families working a
trillion-dollar hustle
Jon Rappoport
Infowars.com
March 2, 2013
Perhaps you remember the ill-fated
Just-Label-It campaign. A number of activist groups petitioned the FDA for a federal regulation that would make
labeling GMO food mandatory.
The petition amassed over a million signatures. But the
FDA decided only 394 of these were legitimate, because all the others were electronically submitted in one
document.
Infuriating? Of course. But that was nothing. Let’s get down to the core of the crime.
Imagine this. A killer is put on trial, and the jury, in a surprise verdict, finds him not guilty. Afterwards,
reporters interview this killer. He says, “The jury freed me. It’s up to them. They decide. That’s what is justice
is all about.”
Then the press moves along to members of the jury, who say: Well, we had to take the defendant’s word. He said
he was innocent, so that’s what we ruled.
That’s an exact description of the FDA and Monsanto partnership.
When you cut through the verbiage that surrounded the introduction of GMO food into America, you arrive at two
key statements. One from Monsanto and one from the FDA, the agency responsible for overseeing, licensing, and
certifying new food varieties as safe.
Quoted in the New York Times Magazine (October 25, 1998, “Playing God in the Garden”), Philip Angell, Monsanto’s
director of corporate communications, famously stated: “Monsanto shouldn’t have to vouchsafe the safety of biotech
food. Our interest is in selling as much of it as possible. Assuring its safety is the FDA’s job.”
From the Federal Register, Volume 57, No.104, “Statement of [FDA] Policy: Foods Derived from New Plant
Varieties,” here is what the FDA had to say on this matter: “Ultimately, it is the food producer who is responsible
for assuring safety.”
The direct and irreconcilable clash of these two statements is no accident. It’s not a sign of incompetence or
sloppy work or a mistake or a miscommunication. It’s a clear signal that the fix was in.
Passing the buck back and forth was the chilling and arrogant strategy through which Pandora’s box was pried
opened and GMO food was let into the US food supply.
In order for this titanic scam to work, the media had to cooperate. Reporters had to be a) idiots and
b)sell-outs.
With few exceptions, reporters and their editors let the story rest there, as a “he said-he said” issue. No sane
principled journalist would have cut bait at that point, but who said mainstream reporters are sane or
principled?
Underneath the Monsanto-FDA buck-passing act, there was a conscious deal to give a free pass to GMO crops. This
had nothing to do with science or health or “feeding the world.” It was about profits. It was also about
establishing a new monopoly on food.
Not only would big agribusiness dominate the planet’s food supply, it would strengthen its stranglehold through
patents on novel types of seeds which were technologically engineered.
It’s very much like saying, “A cob of corn is not a plant, it’s a machine, and we own the rights to every one of
those yellow machines.”
How was Monsanto able to gather so much clout?
There was one reason and one reason only. Putting the world’s food supply into fewer hands was, and is, a major
item on the Globalist agenda. If it weren’t, the FDA-Monsanto scam would have been exposed in a matter of weeks or
months.
Major newspapers and television networks would have attacked the obvious con job like packs of wild dogs and
torn it to pieces.
But once the scam had been given a free pass, the primary corporate-government tactic was to accomplish a fait
accompli, a series of events that was irreversible.
In this case, it was about gene drift. From the beginning, it was well known that GMO plants release genes that
blow in the wind and spread from plant to plant, crop to crop, and field to field. There is no stopping it.
Along with convincing enough farmers to lock themselves into GMO-seed contracts, Monsanto bought up food-seed
companies in order to engineer the seeds…and the gene-drift factor was the ace in the hole.
Sell enough GMO seeds, plant enough GMO crops, and you flood the world’s food crops with Monsanto genes.
Back in the 1990s, the prince of darkness, Michael Taylor,
who has moved through the revolving door between the FDA and Monsanto several times, and is now the czar of food
safety at the FDA—Taylor said, with great conviction, that the GMO revolution was unstoppable; within a decade or
two, an overwhelming percentage of food grown on planet Earth would be GMO.
Taylor and others knew. They knew about gene drift, and they also knew that ownership of the world’s food, by a
few companies, was a prime focus for Globalist kings who intended to feed the population through Central Planning
and Distribution.
“We feed these people; we hold back food from those people; we send food there; we don’t send food here.”
Control food and water, and you hold the world in your hand.
Here is evidence that, even in earlier days, Monsanto knew about and pushed for the Globalist agenda. Quoted by
J. Flint, in his 1998 “Agricultural Giants Moving Towards Genetic Monopolism,” Robert Fraley, head of Monsanto’s
agri-division, stated: “What you are seeing is not just a consolidation of [Monsanto-purchased] seed companies.
It’s really a consolidation of the entire food chain.”
And as for the power of the propaganda in that time period, I can think of no better statement than the one made
on January 25th, 2001, by the outgoing US Secretary of Agriculture, Dan Glickman. As reported by the St. Louis
Post-Dispatch, Glickman said:
“What I saw generically on the pro-biotech side was the attitude that the technology was good and that it
was almost immoral to say that it wasn’t good, because it was going to solve the problems of the human race and
feed the hungry and clothe the naked. And there was a lot of money that had been invested in this, and if
you’re against it, you’re Luddites, you’re stupid. There was rhetoric like that even here in this department.
You felt like you were almost an alien, disloyal, by trying to present an open-minded view on some of these
issues being raised. So I pretty much spouted the rhetoric that everybody else around here spouted; it was
written into my speeches.”
Glickman reveals several things in these remarks: he was spineless; people at the Dept. of Agriculture were
madly buying into the Monsanto cover story about feeding the world; and there had to be a significant degree of
infiltration at his Agency.
The last point is key. This wasn’t left to chance. You don’t get a vocal majority of Dept. of Agriculture
personnel spouting the Monsanto propaganda merely because the fairy tale about feeding the world sounds so good.
No, there are people working on the inside to promote the “social cause” and make pariahs out of dissenters.
You need special background and training to pull that off. It isn’t an automatic walk in the park. This is
professional psyop and intelligence work.
I’ve done some investigation of various groups on both the left and the right, and I’ve seen some pros in
action. They’re good. They know how to leverage ideas and slogans and ideals. They know how to defame opponents and
find just the right words to sink them. They know how to turn high-flying but vague words about “humanity” into
moral imperatives.
This isn’t rinky-dink stuff. To tune up bureaucrats and scientists, you have to have a background in
manipulation. You have to know what you’re doing. You have to be able to build and sustain support, without giving
your game away.
Truth be told, governments are full of these pros, who will take any number of causes and turn them into what
falsely sounds like good science, good government, good morality, all the while knowing that, on the far shore,
sits the real prize: control.
These psyop specialists are hired to help make overarching and planet-wide agendas come true, as populations are
brought under sophisticated and pathological elites who care, for example, about feeding the world as much as a
collector cares about paralyzing and pinning butterflies on a panel in a glass case.
Here is David Rockefeller, writing in his 2003 Memoirs:
Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States,
characterizing my family and me as ‘internationalists’ and of conspiring with others around the world to build
a more integrated global political and economic structure—one world, if you will. If that is the charge, I
stand guilty, and I am proud of it.”
The Globalists play for keeps.
Owning the food of the world is part of their strike-force action plan, and Monsanto is the technocratic arm of
that plan.
Meanwhile, the controlled press treats the whole sordid Monsanto story with its time-honored policy of “he
said-he said.” This policy dictates that stories merely present both sides of a conflict without drawing
conclusions.
It applies across the board—except when it doesn’t. For example, for reasons too complex to go into here, the
Washington Post decided to suspend its policy in the Watergate case. Woodward and Bernstein were assigned to
investigate what was going on behind White House denials and obfuscations.
The same thing could be done with Monsanto, and it would be far easier. The lies and crimes and cover-ups are
everywhere. You could wear sunglasses and find them in the dark.
The NY Times and the Washington Post could sell millions more papers on the back of the Monsanto story alone. It
would be a bonanza for them. But no. They don’t care. They’d rather keep declining and losing readers. They’d
rather die.
Normally, a business doesn’t commit suicide, especially when it sees exactly how to resuscitate itself. But here
we are dealing with an agenda which can’t be disturbed. Globalism, and its agri-techno partner, Monsanto, are
creating a planetary future. Major media are part and parcel of that op. They are selling it.
Even as their bottom lines erode, these newspapers and television networks have to stay on their present course.
By pretending they’re reporting the real news, they’re giving the impression that Monsanto and the FDA are home
free.
Again, we aren’t talking about sloppy reporting or accidental omissions of fact or boggling incompetence or
ignorance about science. We are talking about conscious intent to deceive.
Yes, now and then the controlled media will release a troubling piece about Monsanto. But placement and
frequency are everything. How often do these stories run? Do they run as the lead or do we find them on page 7? Are
reporters assigned to keep pounding on a basic story and reveal more and more crimes? Does the basic story gather
steam over the course of weeks and months?
These are the decisions that make or break a story. In the case of Monsanto and the FDA, the decisions were made
a long time ago.
Part of every new reporter’s training, if he has any ideals at all, is marching into his editor’s office with
his hair on fire demanding to be given an assignment to expose a crime. The editor, knowing the true agenda of his
newspaper or television network, tells the reporter:
“We’ve already covered that.”
“It’s old news.”
“People aren’t interested in it.”
“It’s too complicated.”
“The evidence you’re showing me is thin.”
“You’ll never get to the bottom of it.”
“The people involved won’t talk to you.”
And if none of those lies work, the editor might say, “If you keep pushing this, it would be bad for your
career. You’ll lose access for other stories. You’ll be thought of as weird…”
This is how the game works at ground level. But make no mistake about it, the hidden agenda is about protecting
an elite’s op from exposure.
If NBC, for example, gave its golden boy, Brian Williams, the green light, he would become an expert on Monsanto
in three days. He’d become a tiger. He’d affect a whole set of morally outraged poses and send Monsanto down into
Hell.
Don’t misunderstand. Brian hasn’t been waiting to move in for the kill. He’s a neutral entity. Wind him up and
point to a target and he’ll go there.
But no one will point him at Monsanto or the FDA.
All the major reporters at news outlets and all the elite television anchors are really psyop specialists. It’s
just that most of them don’t know it.
One outraged major reporter who woke up and got out of the business put it to me this way: When he was in the
game, he looked at the news as a big public restroom. His one guiding principle was: Don’t piss on your shoes.
Stand closer to the urinal. Pissing on your shoes was covering a story that was considered out of bounds. If you
pissed on your shoes and walked into the boss’s office, he’d look at you and see the telltale sign. He’d say, “Hey,
you pissed on your shoes. That’s disgusting. Get out of here. You’re fired.”

Extensive List of Politicians Paid Off By
Monsanto
Anthony Gucciardi
Infowars.com
May 29th, 2013
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.

The Monsanto Investigation Part 1―the Bayer Investigation
Monsanto and Bayer Crop Science have entered into a series of licensing agreements for technologies in the
field of plant biotechnology. Monsanto will provide Bayer with a royalty-bearing license to Genuity Roundup
Ready 2 Yield and Genuity Roundup Ready 2 Xtend technology in soybeans in the U.S. and Canada, as well as a
royalty-bearing license to Intacta RR2 PRO in soybeans in Brazil with an option to a royalty-bearing license in
other Latin-American countries in the future. Under the agreements, Bayer will grant Monsanto license to
evaluate enabling technologies for corn rootworm control and herbicide tolerance as options for Monsanto’s
future pipeline development work.
Aspartame & Monsanto―the Monsanto Investigation Part 2
It’s in just about everything: you know it as NutraSweet. From drugs to foods to beverages, aspartame is in
just about everything, and it’s making a lot of people sick, even if they don’t realize that’s the reason.
Dozens of web pages warn against the dangers of aspartame, which became a Monsanto product in 1985 when
Monsanto bought G.D. Searle and created a separate subsidiary to sell NutraSweet and Equal. According to the
Monsanto website, in 2000 the company sold its interests in NutraSweet to J.W. Childs and Equal to
Merisant.
Diacetyl & Monsanto―The Monsanto Investigation Part 3
A dangerous chemical found in butter flavoring such as that used in microwave popcorn has sickened and
killed hundreds of factory workers around the country. It also has been linked to Alzheimer’s. The government
has known about this over a decade, but nothing’s been done to regulate it, even though hundreds of lawsuits
are connected with it. While ConAgra produced the chemical (diacetyl), the company has strong ties to Monsanto:
in 1999 they teamed up to market Monsanto’s genetically-modified corn. What most people don’t realize is that
Monsanto acquired the patent for the diacetyl-making process in 1948.
GMOs Investigated―The Monsanto Investigation Part 4
Don Huber, a noted plant scientist who spent much of his career at Purdue University, sent a letter to the
USDA informing the agency that he’d discovered a mysterious new disease-causing organism in Monsanto’s (MON)
genetically engineered Roundup Ready corn and soybeans. Now Huber has written a follow-up letter to USDA,
presenting an even worse picture of the damage he claims Monsanto’s herbicide chemical glyphosate (the main
ingredient in Roundup) is doing to both plants and the animals who eat them. Huber’s issue is not with genetic
engineering per se, but with the huge amounts of glyphosate being used on GE crops. According to Huber,
glyphosate effectively “gives a plant AIDS,” weakening its defenses and making it more susceptible to
pathogens. Glyphosate also prevents plants from absorbing vital nutrients, particularly the mineral
manganese.
Children & Animals―The Monsanto Investigation Part 5
Autism among children is skyrocketing, and behaviors observed with rats, pigs, and cattle fed genetically
modified (GM) foods are very similar, experts say. These experts believe that GM foods, including soy infant
formulas, should be removed from children’s diets. Bt toxin, Roundup, BGH… Scotts acquired the Ortho and
Roundup brand from Monsanto Chevron in 1999. On January 27, 2012, Scotts Miracle-Gro agreed to plead guilty in
federal court and pay $4.5 million in fines for selling 73 million units of bird seed coated with pesticide
known to be deadly to birds and fish. Some veterinarians are reporting that animals are getting sick on
genetically engineered corn and soybeans, and possibly glyphosate residue. Birth defects, endocrine changes,
and infertility are also connected with GMO products.
George Bush & Monsanto―The Monsanto Investigation Part 6
The connections between Monsanto and both Bush administrations are clear. Bush Sr. appointed Clarence
Thomas, a Monsanto attorney, to the Supreme Court. Attorney General John Ashcroft was the top recipient of
Monsanto contributions. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld was president of Searle Pharmaceuticals, which
Monsanto acquired. And the list goes on.
RBGH & FDA Corruption―The Monsanto Investigation Part 7
Conflicts of interest within the FDA abound over the FDA’s pro-rBGH activities. rBGH was first developed by
Monsanto to increase milk production in dairy cows. It failed to gain approval in Europe but the US FDA
approved it. It was later discovered that Monsanto altered documents and actual studies to make rBGH look safe.
According to Jeffrey Smith, the world’s leading consumer advocate promoting non-GMO choices, hormone-treated
cows can develop birth defects, reproductive disorders, udder infection, and a slew of other medical problems.
When some disgruntled FDA employees wrote an anonymous letter to Congress saying that the whole rBGH process
was embroiled in fraud and conflict of interest―such as having Dr. Margaret Miller work for FDA after working
for Monsanto researching rBGH. In October 2008, Monsanto sold its rBGH business to Eli Lilly and Company.
PCBs & Pollution―The Monsanto Investigation Part 8
Monsanto responded to adverse reactions from its toxic chemical PCBs by claiming they were “singularly free
of difficulties.” But internal files obtained from a lawsuit revealed that this was a cover-up that lasted
decades. Company memos referred to liver disease, skin problems, and even deaths in workers associated with
exposure to its PCBs. Monsanto’s medical department wanted to prohibit employees from eating at the factory
because research showed that PCBs were toxic materials by ingestion or inhalation. And the US Navy refused the
product because in their safety study, all exposed animals died. Until it stopped production in 1977, Monsanto
was the source of 99 percent of PCBs used by US industry. PCB production was banned by Congress in 1979 and by
the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants in 2001.
Political Corruption & rBGH―The Monsanto Investigation Part 9
Michael Taylor was an assistant to the FDA commissioner before he left to work for a law firm on gaining FDA
approval of Monsanto’s artificial growth hormone in the 1980s. Taylor then became deputy commissioner of the
FDA from 1991 to 1994. He was re-appointed to the FDA in August 2009 by President Barack Obama. Dr. Michael A.
Friedman was a deputy commissioner of the FDA before he was hired as a senior vice president of Monsanto. And
the revolving doors and political conflicts of interest continue with numerous other names and positions.
UN & Agenda 21―The Monsanto Investigation Part 10
In February 2013 Monsanto announced that it had officially joined the World Business Council for Sustainable
Development, a group of powerful interests including major banks and Big Oil backing the United Nations’
“Agenda 21” scheme for so-called “sustainable development.” In 2012 a UN report said that 90 percent of water
and fish samples from aquatic environments are contaminated by pesticides. Many people claim the UN is pushing
Agenda 21 to create a global dictatorship through a one-world government in the name of protecting the
environment.
The Bilderberg Connection & Monsanto ― The Monsanto Investigation Part 11
Dixoins are highly toxic unwanted byproducts of certain industrial operations including the manufacture of
some pesticides. There was evidence that Monsanto had falsified scientific studies on the carcinogenicity of
dioxin, but the EPA failed to investigate it. Some of the allegations included: Monsanto failed to notify and
lied to its workers about the presence and danger of dioxin at its chlorophenol plant; Monsanto lied to EPA
that it had no knowledge that its plant effluent contained dioxin; that Lysol―which is recommended for cleaning
babies’ toys―was contaminated with dioxin with Monsanto’s knowledge; and that Monsanto did not tell the
manufacturer of Lysol for fear of losing its business, as well as other allegations.
The Bilderberg Group holds “by invitation only” annual meetings of the world’s rich and powerful. Monsanto’s
CEO Robert Shapiro from 1995-2000 was a member the Bilderberg group.
March against Monsanto―the Monsanto Investigation Part 12
Citizens around the world are beginning to realize that genetically engineered foods could be promoting
disease, environmental destruction, and death, and are organizing to get GMOs either more tightly regulated, or
at the least, labeled so people can make a choice as to whether they want to consume them. What’s alarming is
that it’s become obvious that plants and animals are sick too, including bees. In 2012 it was announced that
three new studies linked bee decline to Bayer’s pesticide. Bayer has an agreement to work together with
Monsanto and its specialty Roundup Ready products.
Acetaldehyde & Monsanto―the Monsanto Investigation Part 13
Acetaldehyde is a possible cancer-causing compound that occurs naturally in alcoholic beverages and many
foods such as bananas and yogurt. It may also be added to fruit-flavored foods. Acetaldehyde and benzaldehyde
are used as solvents in air fresheners, but they also are easily volatilized at room temperature and pressure,
and both have proven to be a health risk to humans through inhalation. Monsanto has a patent on the process for
recovering acetaldehyde. The Wacker process or the Hoechst-Wacker process originally referred to the oxidation
of ethylene to acetaldehyde by oxygen in water in the presence of a tetrachloropalladate catalyst. The same
basic reaction is currently used to produce aldehydes and ketones from a number of alkenes with the Monsanto
process for producing acetic acid.
Monsanto’s massive campaign to defeat your very right to know
what’s in your food has been backed by over $22 million in corporate funding from sources like DuPont and Bayer,
but the reality is that these corrupt corporate monopolies are fighting just to survive within the world’s food
supply.
Perhaps most amazing to me is the fact that just $550 of the $22 million donated to fighting the
GMO labeling initiative actually came from Washington citizens. To put that into perspective, that’s around .0025%
of the total finances. The rest, actually came from the Grocery Manufacturers Association, Monsanto, DuPont
Pioneer, Dow AgroSciences and Bayer CropScience — the same corporations who are actively dominating the food supply
with all forms of genetically modified varieties.
Monsanto right now is backed against a corner like a stray animal, fighting with mass amounts of
the almighty dollar in order to survive for just a few moments longer. Even the mainstream media now has been
forced to reveal Monsanto’s ugly head in light of the Washington voting initiative.
Overall, it is not time to lose morale in the fight for the reclamation of our food, but instead to
voice another rallying cry as the beast that is Monsanto begins to truly show how desperate it really is.
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-...

Good News! Monsanto’s PR Machine Is Failing
Miserably
If you’ve been primarily a reader of the mainstream press, you’ve probably been misled into thinking
genetically engineered (GE) crops are the greatest thing since sliced bread, that they provide better yields of
equal or better quality food, pest and weed resistance, reduced reliance on pesticides, and more... But
thankfully, the truth is unfolding and the tide is finally beginning to turn.
I have long warned against GE
crops, pointing out the risks associated with their consumption, and the falsehoods presented about their
safety. Now, the mainstream press is finally joining in.
The Fox News report above does a remarkably good job of questioning the logic behind, if not safety of, GE
foods and genetically modified organisms (GMOs)—from crops with built-in pesticides, to salmon designed to grow
abnormally large and fast.
I’m very pleased that Fox News pointed out the fact that potential health hazards cannot be averted simply
by avoiding the GE crop in question. Animals raised on GE-grain feed will in turn produce GMO-tainted meat,
milk, and eggs, for example, thereby affecting the vast majority of the food supply.
Fox News even reported the disturbing findings from feeding studies showing intestinal damage in animals fed
Bt corn, and the potential links to food allergies, antibiotic exposure, and increased exposure to
pesticides.
