Pure Evil : Monsanto

new investigative report on Monsanto in the May '08 issue of Vanity Fair

Monsanto’s Harvest of Fear

Monsanto already dominates America’s food chain with its genetically modified seeds. Now it has targeted milk production. Just as frightening as the corporation’s tactics–ruthless legal battles against small farmers–is its decades-long history of toxic contamination.

What really gets me is how "what are you going to do about it" Monsanto is about how they ruin the world.

Before anyone ever fire-bombs the Capital or topples the Washington Monument with the intentions to secure their rights and freedoms, I suggest starting with Monsanto HQ.

Germany trying to hold back the tide of death:

Germany has banned the cultivation of GM corn, claiming that MON 810 is dangerous for the environment. But that argument might not stand up in court and Berlin could face fines totaling millions of euros if American multinational Monsanto decides to challenge the prohibition on its seed.

The sowing season may be just around the corner, but this year German farmers will not be planting genetically modified crops: German Agriculture Minister Ilse Aigner announced Tuesday she was banning the cultivation of GM corn in Germany.

Under the new regulations, the cultivation of MON 810, a GM corn produced by the American biotech giant Monsanto, will be prohibited in Germany, as will the sale of its seed.

I like how so many modern American liberals spew warnings about Monsanto, but completely fail to realize that the exact same corporate mindset is found in the pharmaceutical companies and the vaccine manufacturers.

Modern American Liberal: "Monsanto??? SCARY!!!"

...30 seconds later...

Modern American Liberal: "SSRI's and 29 vaccinations before age 3? MUST BE TOTALLY HEALTHY!!!"
