21 July - Food & Water Monopolism

Smaller cropped version, made for Template:Agr...Image via Wikipedia

Monsanto War on Farmers

You simply cannot take a seed, put pesticides in the seed genetically and claim you have rights to the whole seed you made.  The only patent Monsanto has is on the pesticide chemical which is Round Up.
Round up is now used in foods such as: GMO corn, GMO sugar beets, GMO soy, GMO alfalfa, and any genetically modified plants.  They are deadly, they cause allergic reactions, they contain carcinogens and they are to be banned universally to protect human health.
Farmers have found that GMO seed causes more harm to regular crops and will destroy the US farmers putting them out of business and encourages large corporate farms to produce GMO foods.
The false premise that the world has food shortages is false, there is plenty of agricultural land in most all of the world’s countries.
Hydroponic food supply is much more acceptable, cleaner, natural and can produce vast quantities of organic foods for mankind.

The courts in the European Union are quickly banning Monsanto’s GMO seed as illegal.
Farm Wars is just beginning.


The courts in Europe have ruled that Conventional breeding of seeds cannot be patented except for in the Supreme Court of the United States which proves where the corruptions is coming from in the so called justice system of America.
According to the Supeme Court of the United States the air can be patented, water can be patented and seeds can be patented in a ridiculous environment where corporate interests are buying up the judicial system that once had integrity and that once stood for justice.
Not in 2011.
Monsanto is now attempting to patent GMO melons in Europe, however their patent is a violation of patent law.
They would have to own and claim rights to the organic melon which they do not possess, for that belongs to nature.
The patent laws exclude all plants that are natural and therefore the patent should be rejected completely. Monsanto holds no legal rights to any seeds that came from natural sources nor does breeding a seed constitute exclusive rights, patent rights and claims to own the seeds entirely.  The effects of Monsanto round up seeds are a terrorist threat to Americans, to human health, to the farming industry and to children raised on pesticide foods.
The basic flaws in Monsanto’s patent claims are many but here is one major flaw:
Monsanto does not own proprietary rights to the original melons - they just put a cosmetic change on the plants -they do not own a monopoly on the original seed of the melon- that is the illegal farce to their claims to patent seeds.  This claim has been legally argued and tainted courts have ruled in favor of it.

Monsanto-Resistant Weeds Take Root, Raising Food Prices 

... steep (and unabated) climb in the number of weeds resistant to multiple types of herbicides. Super-strains of plants like pigweed--which grows three inches a day and is tough enough to damage farm machinery--have emerged, which may dramatically reduce the options for farmers to control them. The alternatives are usually more dangerous chemicals or plowing and mulching fields, undermining many of the environmental benefits biotech crops are supposed to offer. It's "the single largest threat to production agriculture that we have ever seen,” claims Andrew Wargo III, president of the Arkansas Association of Conservation Districts.
Monsanto, which once allegedly led farmers to believe its Roundup Ready crops would not cause weed resistance, has since come around to evidence and is now talking about prevention by diversifying chemical applications and crop rotation.

Corporate Accountability International

Corporate Water World

Pharmaceutical giant Merck has become the most recent multinational corporation to endorse the United Nations CEO Water Mandate, an initiative that was awarded the Public Eye Greenwash Award.  Public Eye described the Mandate as a club of corporations that profit financially from water as a primary resource while exhibiting "irresponsible and damaging behavior."  Merck is just the latest corporation to join the ranks of Nestlé, Coca-Cola, Dow Chemical, and a host of other environmental offenders.

According to the Polaris Institute the Mandate is nothing more than a greenwashing front. They explain, "companies can easily state that they are working with all of these actors in order to appear involved with solving problems of water scarcity, pollution and over-exploitation, while their damaging production processes can continue unchecked."

“Unfortunately, the United Nations appears to be embracing more and more partnerships with the corporate sector across the board,” said Corporate Accountability International campaign director Gigi Kellett.  “There are strong voices within the United Nations, including some Member states, who are questioning the partnership paradigm adopted by the UN and calling for more transparency and accountability.”
