    • Those who support Monsanto support bioterrorism. Ignorance is no excuse before the laws of Nature either. Even the premis Monsanto uses to peddel its undue influence with, accompanied by bribery, is fataly flawed. They falsely claim that organic farming methods are inadequate to feeding a growing world population. Yet corporate farms have failed miserably to produce the nutrition that only organic farming has been proven to provide. It's the desertification of soil by global warming, erosion due to lack of proper conservation, and lack of worldwide coordination which has led to the food shortages. Big money corrupted Corporations don't have the common sense to understand you can't eat money like they can. Their depravity isn't likely to end until each town in the USA passes a bond act to provide for the construction of a Geodesic dome greenhouse by Buckminster Fuller's 1950 design. It's this type of protected biodome that can preserve organic seeds, and produce superior food for each town community. Did you know that by altering the photoperiodism of plants by simulating the natural growing conditions of the Matatuska valley of Alaska, you could grow organic rasberries the size of softballs ? And produce pumkins the size of the VW Beatles of the 20th century ? Immagine the economics of that increased supply bringing down the price of organic food to where it was 100 years ago. Immagine the volume of produce X at least a factor of 10 and more, then tell me that natural, organic farming methods can't handle the job of feeding a growing World population. BULLSHIT !!! My kin were organic farmers, and if they were still alive they'd be the first to tell you Monsanto is so inverted it doesn't know its worthless fucking ass from a hole in the ground. As usual, it's ignorance and stupidity that makes the blind leading the blind an unnecessary problem for all of us. The World Food Security Act may as well have been written in braile, because they didn't bother to read it before they voted on it. Now they're saddled with passing a health care reform bill. Duh. Has anyone bothered to consider that there wouldn't be any health care crisis at all without the extreme demand put on the existing system which can be traced to inferior food ? I read a book entitled the Atkins Diet Revolution in which it was reasearched that 100 years ago they didn't experience the proliferation of modern degenerative diseases precisely because they ate food superior to what is
      commonly sold today.

      Call or write the White House, your reps, your state legislature, etc.

      Go to:

      http://www.responsibletechnology.org and download their NO GMO shopping guide.

      Spread this information about what Monsanto is doing to try to put organic farmers out of business and take your food freedom away.

      This is a matter of survival. If all we have one day are GM seeds, and any of the traits in these bacteria seeds should fail, we would have a worldwide famine not to mention the loss of biodiversity it brings with contamination and toxicfication through pesticides. For the life of me I do not understand why this is being so ignored by the media including Current. It is as if they have all been gagged.

    • Yes, he or Jeffrey Smith. As Mr. Smith stated, we only need 5% of the population to cause a tipping point. WE really need to keep the pressure on.
