Was it suicide to allow MONSANTO to poison us?

ACTUALLY, they are STARVING people! It is like on SG1 where those aliens gave humans a longer life, but sterilized them! "They were helping humanity!"! Well, monsanto patented a crop that is partially STERILE! Can people eat it? YEP! *****BUT***** normal corn can be perpetual, and has been for thousands of years! THEIR corn can stop the perpetual corn, and is NOT perpetual. So it can end up leading to STARVATION! WHY? So THEY get paid a kind of support fee!

Farmers and ranchers and bakers have for THOUSANDS of years sold maybe 90% of what they produced, and used the rest to keep producing. So the bacteria in some cultures, like yoghurt, birds, like chickens, and plants, like corn, could be PERPETUAL! IMAGINE if that were to STOP!

Yep. Bingo. And the Obama admin is about to install another very high level MONSANTO exec to lead the USDA again unless the petitions actually get paid attention to. (fat chance, eh?).

Our only hope right now is to have our reps decide that destroying our ability to survive is too important - even though these friendships that make them so much personal cash.

Because of desertification and an over-carrying capacity population, we were already looking at the onset of what is going to be a famine that will take down at least 1/3 of the population. Right now it is in the beginning stages (10 years sooner than predicted). In this stage it is a man-made problem. Pricing and distribution causing famine.

The next stage is natural disaster on top of man made. There simply will not be enough food to go around. With millions of hectares going to desertification from being cleared or farmed for ages, the soil is just being plain depleted. With the extra millions of hectares now being destroyed by MONSANTOS poisons, we soon won't have the soil to grow enough for everyone - or the necessary bio-forms to replenish it - plus the residual poison keeping the bio-forms that survive outside of these areas will be unable to spread back into poisoned land. Unless they can clean that crap out of the water and land somehow, we're up a creek without a paddle.

So what will our leaders do? Continue to let it happen (that is, allow DOW to spray the MONSANTO developed super-weeds with agent orange that will kill everything surviving around the superweeds (as well as sickening and killing millions of humans and major amounts of wildlife), or will they finally decide enough is enough and see if we can't start turning it around enough to leave at least a remedial amount of life on earth in tact?

It has to be remembered, that once a biome (ecosystem) is set off balance, a chain reaction is caused that can topple most of the life in that system unless it can migrate. With damage as extensive as it is now.....there's no place for anything to migrate to.

You know Thom, I knew that in the back of my mind - and that is why my first post said 'stupid question' to the 'mystery of why it is still legal'.

.... but I just wanted to hear it said OUT LOUD.


some things never change.:rolleyes:

...and people used to think the mafia was bad, eh? Mere rookies compared to these ECOCRIMINALS
and the monsters that control the 'purse strings' = PHARMAMOB ET AL.

... those 'souls' with conflicts of interest and even bigger conflict of ethics and conscience.

Agent Orange is not going to be used nor has it been proposed for use.

The blog stating this "shocking news" is one that only writes about "shocking news" - much of it not in line with facts. The fact he does give in the article don't really support what the title claims. Not sure where this guy is going as he says earlier that engineered corn is resistant to 2-4 D (and some plants are). How he gets from there to Agent Orange being used is a big leap of imagination.

2-4 dichlorophenoxyacetic is a weed killer that's long been used in commercially available broadleaf weed killing products. Yes, it's a major ingredient used to make Agent Orange but it is not Agent Orange. Saying so doesn't make it true.

I've only been in Oregon for a few weeks - and am not sure, but it seems like they are beefing up a labeling campaign here as well. I am working without having had to take a drug test - water is NOT fluoridated (only around 25% of the state still is), and the local stores are carrying more organic than non-organic, which is a bit spendy, but seems to be the preferred food for at least the central corridor of the state. There are alternative energy programs being pushed by the local energy company and a whole net of ecological organizations. I've not seen anything that looks like a farm that the cows aren't out grazing in grassed pastures.

So - I'm thinking that OR is probably right in there with the other three. Will know for sure pretty soon. I've had other things to get grounded before looking at local politics -- but if it is for natural and green, I think Oregon is one place that will be on the bandwagon.
