The World According to Monsanto

[Leftest]

On March 11 a new documentary was aired on French television - a documentary that Americans won’t ever see. The gigantic bio-tech corporation Monsanto is threatening to destroy the agricultural biodiversity which has served mankind for thousands of years.

2. Kick and rec, thank you for posting. Do you know ...

[Leftest]

4. Thanks.

I was surprised to see this video up at all. So no, I have no idea how long it will remain.

Thanks all for the K&R because I think information such as this is important.



Peace,

5. Thanks for posting this

Disturbing in the extreme. The future is "green deserts" unless we do something about this. The powers that be are killing us all, inch by inch in their desire to control everything.

6. They do want to kill most of us. They need about a billion to carry out the work of

serving their needs, beyond that we're unnecessary in their world.

[Hydra]

7. The numbers I've heard are closer to 95%

6 billion x 5% = 300 Million.

That would leave the top 1-2% and their servants.

What concerns me with this system is how easy it would be for them to pull the plug. With almost all seed coming from them, one year they can opt to send out bad seed(whether poisonous or will simply not grow), and wind up killing most of us.

8. The very first gene engineered in any GMO is the so-called terminator

that prevents the plant from reproducing. Perhaps ironically, the Mormons have been preserving huge supplies of heirloom seeds for generations and have a world-wide distribution system already set up.

We have consistently underestimated just how twisted the parasites are, how far they are willing to go.

9. The first engineered gene was a salmonella gene engineered into E. coli

That was a purely scientific project by scientists at Stanford and UCSF.

The first commercial GMO gene was human insulin in E. coli, which ended up saving untold lives and helping millions upon millions of people.

Sorry to screw up your conspiracy theories though. They must be a lot of fun.

11. Badly worded. When creating the GMO the terminator is spliced(?)

"It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it." - Upton Sinclair

12. The terminator gene would be inserted into the vector...

and then the gene would be transformed into the organism.

10. K & R

I see that Monsanto's concubines have already shown up to dirty up this thread.
