Monsanto Setback - Things are Changin'

[dAkapacity]

Not so good for all of those farmers (and their lands) who invested in Monsanto's products, but I hope an eye-opener that might make them go and do the real thing again... which is bloody natural farming!

Monsanto, the giant biotechnology agriculture company that created genetically modified corn, soybeans and herbicides, isn't riding so high this year in the stocks department, as news comes in that its products aren't working like they'd hoped.

According to the New York Times, weeds are becoming immune to Monsanto's herbicide Roundup, and its latest genetically modified, 8-gene corn is a flop, producing yields no higher than the company's less expensive corn, which contains only three foreign genes.

No wonder they bought Blackwater... going to take some real intimidation to increase market share now! ;)

Jonathon; they didn't purchase them, they hired them.

This is probably the best news I've heard in some time.

Hit em where it hurts, right in their bank balance and share price!

I did a search and could not find this vid up here yet. Hoping I am not duplicating.
This story is not surprising, what is, is the fact that now it is going viral, which is a very good thing!

monsanto's days are up.. about time l

[Ahkenaten]

It is all part of the paradigm shift. The Corporations are going down. Their days are numbered. The old ways of doing business are not sustainable, much as I hate that term. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to project the trajectory of the materialistic paradigm............the ultimate result is reducing us all and the entire earth to jots on a ledger sheet, a mad max future with everything a burnt cinder and smoking ruins. Life is powerful and will not be mocked. The forces of materialism mock the life force, or spirit itself. Of all the admonitions that which prohibits mocking spirit is the most powerful. Consciousness itself, the life force that animates the cosmos, will not be mocked. This is the force that these demonic satanic beings from hell are up against. They cannot and will not prevail. All the mercenary forces in the Universe cannot help them. They are doomed and their number is up. They know it. That is why there is such desperation emanating from them, fear dripping from their brows. Their number is up. We do not need to do a single thing but withdraw our consent.

And you know what Lightblue - all the legions of Blackwater will not help them. They are foolishly aligning themselves against the forces of Nature....................we need to observe very carefully and not be misled. We must merely withdraw our consent.

I just ran across this video today and wanted to give it a much deserved bump.

As if we needed any more evidence that Monsanto is a bunch of evil @#$%^&*

I especially liked the part that a Florida court ruled that it isn't against any laws to knowingly air a news story that contains false information. Rupert Murdoch, what a wholesome organization he runs :rolleyes:

[mountain_jim]

an oldie but a goodie.... and was eye-opening for me at the time to learn that it was legal for 'news sources' to deliberately lie. I did not recall Monsanto being involved in this particular story, and am not rewatching again now.

later edit : I did watch - this video is a different one than I saw before, of this same story, and definitely explicitly points out what we here all know - that Monsanto is bad news, as is Fox News.

Monsanto blow-back is happening big-time down in India.

Peter Proctor has been 'seeding' his ideas about bidynamics & organic farming. A documentary on YT tells a tale not told by MSM.

http://backyardbiodynamics.com/?p=667

"Peter Proctor has worked as national field advisor for the New Zealand Bio Dynamic Farming and Gardening Association, and tutored for the Taruna College Diploma in Biodynamic Agriculture."

"Aged in his seventies, Peter Proctor energetically set about to save the world one farmer at a time. Travelling across India, he trained farmers to train other farmers."

"Barb wrote about their documentary, "One Man, One Cow, One Planet" in our 2007 "Power of Artistic Passion" issue, which features the remarkable story of Peter Proctor's trek to India to help restore traditional farming there."

"In addition to her research, writing, directing and producing for Cloud South Films, she is a columnist for the New Zealand Herald, where she was named "Social Issues Columnist of the Year" in the Qantas Media Awards, and was a finalist for "Columnist of the Year."
