Breaking News: Monsanto To Face Biopiracy Charges In India

like i have said the past few years monsatan will not survive the decade

Arrgh matey! (Someone had to say it). We be the fiercest biopirates in all the Indian Ocean. 15 eggplants in a parmigiana--Ho HO HO and a bottle of rum.

Die Monsanto Die ....Love this Idea !

LMAO! Perhaps this is only the first chink in Monsanto's unholy Achilles heel.

Biopiracy is a growing crime worldwide. The number of indigenous and native species that are stolen, smuggled and sold is outpacing that of illegal weapons and drugs. The only other comparable crime would be counterfeiting which has also reached record levels. These are both corporate level, very well funded crimes with devastating consequences. Absolute power corrupts absolutely, now even life in the remotest places on Earth itself is threatened.

How did a corporation that got it's start in the synthetic chemical industry ever get such a foothold in messing with our food anyway....

Oh-wait, bet it was greed, and financial pressures being exerted on already poor farmers....

Just want to make sure, this IS the same country that recently made headlines for implementing a cashless, biometric currency system right?

Wow, a Monsanto post went to number one after three years of my talking about it here.

The number of suicides by small local farmers in India should be enough to het the world reacting...if there is ever a thourough investigation in India and Southeast Asia...DuPont, Dow and Monsanto...would be in real deep shit...won't happen though...

YAY !!! Go India ! Do not let them ruin the sanctity of your noble eggplant , like they have done to so many life forms !

GM is biopiracy IHMO. Claiming that a particular genetic variety is somehow your IP is like claiming that you are GOD, invented DNA and can prove that such a variety would never otherwise exist and that it will never contaminate any other crops. Setting up field trials and claiming contamination of non GM crops is not a crime, is like claiming that throwing stones and hitting someone in the head is their fault and not yours. If I came around to your house and punched you in the mouth then it would be very likely assault, unless of course I donated enough money to politicians, the local judiciary and spent around $20 Million on unscrupulous lawyers and knew the right people.

We all accept that spilling industrial waste into the surrounding environment is not responsible behaviour, but why is spilling genetically altered material any different? Are we somehow deluding ourselves that mutating living organisms so they can be doused in large quantities of poisons is vital to food security. I would argue that is in fact completely removed from anything to do with food security and more related to establishing complete and utter competitive dominance over a market by conspiring to deliberately set in place a process of IP poisoning.

The entire GM industry has degenerated into nothing but a complete farce which attempts to squeeze even more from the pockets of hard working people.

Coool!!! But will anyone do Time for this???
