The evil of Monsanto and GMOs explained: Bad technology,
endless greed and the destruction of humanity
by Mike Adams
We intend to make our total opposition to Monsanto very obvious in our venue in 2014!
(NaturalNews) By now,
nearly all informed people recognize that Monsanto is widely regarded as the
most evil corporation on our planet. But what, exactly, makes Monsanto so evil?
Why is Monsanto worse than a pharmaceutical company, a pesticide company or
even a weapons manufacturer?
The answer to this question is found in probing the virtue
of the corporation in question. As virtuous people, we expect corporations to
act with a sense of fundamental human decency. We expect them to behave within
the boundaries of respecting human life, honest business practices and reliable
science. We (naively) wish that corporations would act like decent human
beings.
But they don't. In their quest for profit at any cost, they
violate the basic tenets of virtue. They betray humanity. They destroy life.
They malign Mother Nature herself, and in doing so, they threaten the very
future of sustainable life on our planet.
Here, I unravel the fundamental "violations of
virtue" that Monsanto practices on a daily basis. It is these things, I
think you'll agree, that make Monsanto a despicable corporate entity and a
threat to all humankind.
Corporate greed over service to humanity
Monsanto's actions are designed to maximize its corporate
profits, not to serve the people. Its entire seed-and-herbicide business model
is designed to trap farmers in a system of economic dependence... to turn
farmers into indentured servants who can never return to traditional farming
after their soil has been destroyed with Roundup.
Death over life
Monsanto's products cause death. They compromise and violate
life. Monsanto's GM corn grown a toxic chemical right inside each and every
corn kernel. This corn is what is subsequently eaten by humans.
In a recent scientific study, a shocking 70 percent of
female rats died prematurely when fed GMOs. Fifty percent of males died early.
Almost all of them died from cancer tumors.
Secrecy over transparency
Monsanto is spending millions of dollars to try to defeat
Proposition 37 in California -- a bill which would simply require GMOs to be
indicated on food labels.
But Monsanto and other companies such as those that own
Larabar, Silk and Kashi do not want consumers to know the truth about GMOs in
the foods they buy. (See the GMO boycott infographic here.) They're also
spending huge sums of money to try to defeat Proposition 37 so that the food
companies can keep GMOs a dirty little secret about the poison in your food.
Plainly stated, these companies do not want you to know what
you're eating. And why? Because you're eating poison!
Domination of technology rather than sharing of wisdom
Monsanto does not create technology and then share wisdom
with farmers; instead the company patents its GE seeds and thereby claims
monopolistic ownership over them. This patent is used to punish farmers!
When Monsanto's GMO seeds blow into the fields of farmers
who are trying to avoid growing GMOs, Monsanto uses its patent
"rights" to sue the farmers and claim they "stole" Monsanto
property!
This is an example of the kind of pure evil Monsanto engages
in on a regular basis. From the top company executives to the bottom of the
corporate ladder, people who work for Monsanto are engaged in promoting a
sickening, unprecedented evil that's spreading across our planet like a black
slimy cancer tumor.
That's no coincidence, either, considering that eating GMOs
causes massive cancer tumors.
Artificial manipulation of nature rather than honoring of
nature
Instead of working with the beauty, the genius and the
abundance that has already been engineered into nature, Monsanto seeks to
violate nature, overriding healthy plant genes with poison genes that generate
insecticides right inside the crops.
Instead of honoring the natural ability of seeds to
reproduce generation after generation, Monsanto develops "terminator
seed" technology that causes seeds to self-terminate after one generation.
This, by itself, is a heinous crime against nature, humankind and planet Earth.
It is a crime worse than the Nazi holocaust, for terminator seeds threaten ALL
human life on our planet... billions of lives are threatened by the behavior of
Monsanto.
Environmental destruction over environmental stewardship
Roundup herbicide devastates soils, rendering them
contaminated and unable to produce healthy crops using traditional (or organic)
farming methods. Once a farm plot is destroyed with Roundup, that farmer is
forever enslaved to a chemical-based farming protocol. It's unhealthy, it's a
disaster to the environment, and the actual crop yields are LOWER than with
organic farming, over a period of five years or more.
By encouraging farmers to spray literally millions of acres
of farmland with Roundup, Monsanto is engaged in a conspiracy to destroy our
agricultural heritage and turn us all into "food slaves" that must
pay tribute to Monsatan.
Scientific deception over scientific truth
The so-called "science" coming out of Monsanto is
some of the most inane, malicious and brutally deceptive junk science ever
fabricated by corporate science sellouts. Instead of testing GMOs for long
durations on animals, Monsanto-funded scientists test GMOs for a mere 90 days
and then adamantly declare the food to be "safe" for a lifetime of
consumption by humans.
It's no wonder they didn't run long-term tests: The real
acceleration in cancer tumors only emerged after the 90-day milestone in rats.
Even if Monsanto-funded scientists found GMOs to be safe in
a "lifetime" feeding study, you couldn't trust those results anyway:
Any scientist, politician or media group with financial ties to Monsanto must
now be assumed to be compromised and lacking any credibility whatsoever.
Monsanto has bought off countless scientists, experts, media writers and
politicians. But paying them off doesn't alter reality. Poison in the corn is
still poison in the corn, even if you pay a group of sellout scientists to
foolishly declare otherwise.
