Challenging Monsanto. Kicking a Hornets Nest.

Monsanto

**

It’s a corporation that strives to “meet the needs” of the population. According to them, the number one goal they have is to provide farmers the crops they need to feed the world. They even say, “we’re all in this together.” But, is that really a good thing?



Connections

We’ve seen a number of threads on ATS noting the connections between Monsanto the most powerful entities on the planet:

Food “Safety” Bill Empowers Monsanto to Control Food Industry :: www.abovetopsecret.com...

The Concern

We could discuss old threads all day, but that’s not what I’m here to think about. Let’s talk about what Monsanto is trying to do here. I’ve heard the saying multiple times, “he who controls the food controls the people.” Well, that’s precisely what Monsanto is trying to do. Between their patents and sterile plants, they’re putting the strain on farmers worldwide. Not only that, they are manipulating the very building blocks of life and putting everyone at risk.

Right now they are secure in their power, but what happens when they become challenged? What happens when someone has power and a desire to keep that power? They get aggressive. Enter, what I’d like to call the Insurance Seed.



Let’s look at wikileaks for a moment. In the event of something dramatic happening, they’ve threatened to release the password to a file rumored to have devastating secrets contained within. Whether or not that will actually happen is one more thing we could sit and debate all night long. But, what happens if Monsanto takes that idea and plays the same ball in their own court?


Let’s say the scenario plays out like this:
A large number of countries and farmers threaten to end their relationship with Monsanto over a major concern. Once the movement begins to gain momentum Monsanto decides to step in and take action. Wielding the power that they currently have gives them a great deal of leverage. They threaten to take action if the movement is not stopped within a certain time span. What sort of action could they take? I worry they may have some sort of Genetically Modified Organism that functions as their own plan B, the Insurance Seed. What If they threaten a staple food and target it with a vulnerability that destroys entire swaths of a years crop?



What’s to stop them from using their genetic modification methods to produce rice or corn that synthesizes a hormone to stop human or animal reproduction? There’s really no telling what they’re capable of, they’ve been working with genetic modification for years and I would hesitate to underestimate them.

The reason I write this tonight is to ask the questions: Do you think it’s possible Monsanto could have such a plan in place? If so, what could we do to combat it?

Thanks for joining me here tonight!





Sorry, the logo transparent background is really annoying!

I fear we are doomed my friend. France recently banned GMO farming and the EU overruled their decision.

I think we will just have to let our bodies adjust chemically, biologically and physically to these new "foods". Like the human guinea pigs we are.

No.

No what? No I got my facts on France recently banning GMO farming wrong or No we won't have to let our bodies adjust?

Why would they need to use some sort of bug? Once the world gets the hint that all they have to do is cut us off and we will all starve, then we will give them all of the power they like. My worry is that they may be the elite's way of creating the most powerful depopulation strategy. The one thing that all of their strains have in common is that they only last for one season. It wouldn't take much for a big part of the population to starve if they were to cut us off for a couple of years.

My thought is, what if they designed a strain of plant specifically for this purpose. One that could overtake heirloom seeds and disrupt them. Sure they could cut off supplies of their current offerings, but how would they grasp for their control again? I don't expect them to give it up willingly. It's like taking candy from a baby, they get cranky. Then, their mom steps in and slaps you around a bit with a large trout. Remember, there seems to be evidence that Monsanto's really in tight with the government. I doubt it'd take much to get a terrorism charge if you're busy trying to "disrupt the food supply and threaten national security through that process."

I still can't believe that. The people of a country decide something only for someone else to come in and say, oh you can't do that. Your opinion really doesn't matter. I'd be visiting some corn fields.

Well I guess that would make them terrorists in a way, my thought's are that they would simply start cutting off regions or countries that complained, then when people started starving, the farmers would just come crawling back and begging for Monsanto's products again.

I believe that we have really gotten ourselves into a mess letting this company get so big, and using these types of methods. There is little of the farm trade left that relies on heirloom seeds, and even fewer that practice seed harvesting in the commercial farming industry. There are only a few of the major crops that do not use monsanto products now.

I posted a thread a couple of days ago on this same subject. There are a couple of good articles in it if you want to check them out.
