"The War of the Empire has many faces

The 'war on terror' has become nameless since our administration changed. But it is the same war, it has the same goals and it is as unwinnable as it always was. But certainly there are other ways of conquering the planet, says Washington. And so they impose the huge industries with their humungous profits on the entire world, corporations like Monsanto, Cargill, Dow, Bunge and others, giants that impose their own laws on world-wide agriculture and their goal is to make us eat only what they profit from."

"There is also another important point to make in President Obama's choice of Michael Taylor to head the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Michael Taylor is the notorious revolving-door man who, during the George W. Bush era switched jobs between a high-level post for Monsanto and working for the government agencies that are supposed to regulate the food industry, such as Monsanto."





I keep thinking and wondering about this and can't get over it, why is Obama supporting this?
Remembering Vandana Shiva's words:

" Societies and economies can be destroyed by bombs. Societies can also be destroyed by locking every aspect of life like provision of food and water through an economic war.”

    • Monsanto is certainly acting like terrorists.
      This is not ok. Why arent enough people speaking up
      to give their voice and saying no?
      Thought that Obama admin said they are not going
      to put people who have a conflict of interest in those type of positions! Did they threaten Obama?

      Who is a better choice to head the FDA?
      I thought Obama was going to be answerable to the people and not the companies, but how can it when not enough people are speaking up.

      Its like people have it ingrained in them that its ok to be controlled by 1%.

      Also buying patterns through brainwashing is not a true indicator of what people want.

      We need to get back to being a true democracy.

      Who will bring justice?

      So its like instead of we the people deciding and
      the government regulating and maintaining our safety, corporate/company heads tell us what to do?
      How do you like them genetically modifed apples?

    • What horrific catastrophe does this world need to face in order for us to start paying attention and change our ways?

    • Millions of people do not realize the ramifications of GM foods. They do not know that there have been no studies published that disagree with the GM corps. studies.
      They trust the FDA.
      When many think of a GM crop, they think that a farmer just sliced and diced, (the way they did many years ago), until he came up with a good producing wheat or corn, etc. (I did until I came to this site awhile back)
      People do not realize that GM foods are really genetically altered in a lab.
      Education, even of a smart President, as Obama is, is a must.
      That is why petitions, letters and phone calls to the WH are important.
      We the people must educate our elected leaders. Most may have college degrees, but that doesn't mean they know anything.
