Blackwater (Xe) has been bought by...........MONSANTO!!!

Blackwater wasn't bought out by Monsanto. TIS (the new Xe) wasn't bought out by Monsanto although they had low yield contracts with Monsanto (~$100 - $160K). But...

blog.washingtonpost.com...

"I was told by the top security officer at one of Total Intelligence's biggest corporate clients that TIS discontinued its 'corporate security information services' in May of this year,” Scahill also told me. “Couple that with the fact that Melinda Redman, one of TIS's top executives who led many of their day-to-day operations, left the company in May and the fact that TIS hasn't issued any of their intel updates since then, and it seems likely that there has been a pretty significant shake-up at the company.”

“All of TIS's most prominent breadwinners have flown the coop,” he maintained. “It was those connections to former senior CIA, FBI and DEA officials that would have made TIS attractive to powerful multinational corporations with a large footprint and a lot to lose."

Hmmm.... wonder where they all went?

Regarding the people in Iraq being forced to buy GMO seeds and being barred from planting natural seeds... It looks to be true to me.

Order 81

The most significant part of Order 81 is a new chapter that it inserts on ‘Plant Variety Protection’ (PVP). This concerns itself not with the protection of biodiversity, but rather with the protection of the commercial interests of large seed corporations. To qualify for PVP, seeds have to meet the following criteria: they must be ‘new, distinct, uniform and stable’. Under the new regulations imposed by Order 81, therefore, the sort of seeds Iraqi farmers are now being encouraged to grow by corporations such as WWWC will be those registered under PVP.

A perspective on Order 81

Order 81 interferes with a tradition that is at least six thousand years old; farmers in Mesopotamia have been saving wheat and barley seeds since 4000 BC and probably much earlier. Indigenous seeds (natural seeds from hundreds of varieties of crop) are declared illegal, because they infringe on corporate rights to the natural world. In an Orwellian turn of phrase, Order 81 is subtitled "Plant Variety Protection."

On the main issue at hand, a mercenary company (or security company, whatever name you delegate it) working for one of the most hated corporations in the world does not sit well with me. I hope the people in control know what they're doing.

Here's a link to what seems to be the original source, an article at The Nation by Jeremy Scahill:

Blackwater's Black Ops

It doesn't actually say that Monsanto bought Xe, just that Xe does work for Monsanto and that:

One of the most incendiary details in the documents is that Blackwater, through Total Intelligence, sought to become the "intel arm" of Monsanto, offering to provide operatives to infiltrate activist groups organizing against the multinational biotech firm.

This isnt much better.

"offering to provide operatives to infiltrate activist groups organizing against the multinational biotech firm"

And what will the do with the "activist groups" when found?

Folks, we are still a capitalist nation BUT i am thinking we have slipped into the robber barron style of feudalism with just a nice veneer.

Companies are out to make money and two of the biggest areas are food supply and war.

However it does cause one to take a step back and wonder. A company aiming to control all seed production, ensuring their seeds cannot produce future crops, buying private armys, bullying farmers whose crops they have contaminated and generally acting like a law unto itself.

Slightly worrying.

Those Black Water Folk gonna get dem' shelves...a...killed.

Dey is gonna git them shelves out numbered fer good.


Dey is Gonna get W., Texshas n' W. ta Rumble.

Dey is gonna hog tie them shelves shilly.

Dey is goona shoot them shelves in da Foot wit Montsani poo poo dances.

Dose Monsanti fellers goona git them bellies slit open ya hear.


Dey gonna git wots ders yer hears me buddy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow - this is disturbing news indeed for all Americans.

Monstanto has a huge command of the food chain, and now has a private army at their disposal?

I'm guessing that this is being allowed all in the name of "National Security"?

Those poor farmers that have been battling Monsanto for years will now literally have boots on the ground at their farms if they step out of line.

When Monstanto expands its reach into the cattle/poultry industrys beyond providing feed) everyone better watch out. GMO beef, chicken, and turkeys on their way, and they can modify them anyway they like and don't have to tell you (ie label the foods) that they're genetically modified. Already, more than 70% of processed food contains some sort of GMO product - if they can get into the meat food chain as well, we're all in trouble.

This is a bad step in totally the wrong direction, but right up the alley of the NWO.

This is from the unabombers manifesto i was reading at the same time as this thread. We seriously need a revolution soon. Otherwise we are screwed (srs). Everything he says is coming true.

163. Suppose the system survives the crisis of the next several
decades. By that time it will have to have solved, or at least brought
under control, the principal problems that confront it, in particular
that of "socializing" human beings; that is, making people
sufficiently docile so that their behavior no longer threatens the
system. That being accomplished, it does not appear that there would
be any further obstacle to the development of technology, and it would
presumably advance toward its logical conclusion, which is complete
control over everything on Earth, including human beings and all other
important organisms. The system may become a unitary, monolithic
organization, or it may be more or less fragmented and consist of a
number of organizations coexisting in a relationship that includes
elements of both cooperation and competition, just as today the
government, the corporations and other large organizations both
cooperate and compete with one another. Human freedom mostly will have vanished, because individuals and small groups will be impotent vis-a-vis large organizations armed with supertechnology and an arsenal of advanced psychological and biological tools for manipulating human beings, besides instruments of surveillance and physical coercion. Only a small number of people will have any real
power, and even these probably will have only very limited freedom,
because their behavior too will be regulated; just as today our
politicians and corporation executives can retain their positions of
power only as long as their behavior remains within certain fairly
narrow limits.

That is highly disturbing piranha considering Bill Gates has also his used his NONPROFIT to fund a Massive seedbank in an out of the way arctic locale that all the news stories listed as going to be protected by private military contractors... when 2+2 starts adding up like this... I think I'm going to costco and checking on a way to hermetically seal a greenhouse....

seed banks have existed for many years. What is your concern with them?

Also, shopping at COSTCO i giving 'them' your money. Support your local farmers, not China.

Monsanto likely needs a intelligence wing for the number of future lawsuits against them for cross contamination plus a number of other lawsuits.

You've almost got it. It's more likely the other way around.

Monsanto is infamous for its use of genetically-engineered seeds, particularly their pesticide-resistant soybean seed, for which they have a patent.

Farmers who don't plant Monsanto seed don't want their crops contaminated by this seed not because they're worried that it will hurt their crops, but because if they are found to be growing soybeans with Monsanto's seed, whether it is the independent farmer's fault or not, Monsanto will sue them for patent infringement.

Furthermore, many farmers who do grow crops like soybeans license Monsanto's patents by purchasing seed from Monsanto. Farmers traditionally have saved their seeds for re-planting; however this violates Monsanto's patents on the seeds and Monsanto forbids it.

Monsanto probably requires Blackwater's Xe's services to investigate farmers who they think are saving seeds, as well as farmers who are not buying seed from Monsanto, but may have crops planted with Monsanto seed in their fields.

I highly suggest watching the documentary Food, Inc. (link is to the imdb entry). Although, if you haven't seen it, you might not want to watch the film because it may cause you to throw out all the food in your house.

I remember playing a computer game when I was younger... the game was called "Syndicate".
Multi national companies ruled the world and constantly warred with other multi national companies for control, wiping each other out rather than buying each other out..
Looks like it may come true afterall...

reply to post by RelentlessLurker


I agree. So if Monsanto has their own army, then who is partnering with them to accomplish this? Here's a link to Monsantos' Top shareholders. With tyrants like this being invested in the master plan, it's plain to see where we are headed The top 10 is no surprise with Vanguard, State Street, Blackrock, T Rowe Price, and lower down the list are other trolls like George Soros, Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, JP Morgan, the list goes on. Things are lookin a bit grim

We should start by checking the underground bunkers, I believe.

In all seriousness, they have probably gone off to greener pa$ture$ at some of Xe's corporate clients.

This is the angle of perspective that is most concerning. If they can demand payment if their seed is found in a crop they can force every farmer on Earth to pay them licensing fees. These are biological agents. It's not as if they don't spread naturally like any other life form. They can be dropped, spread by wind, contaminate a shipment of other seeds, what have you.

It's as simple as flying a plane over the fields and allowing seeds to slip out of a vent and fall to the ground.. 6 months later an investigator shows up and claims he was tipped off by an anonymous source, finds his strain of wheat or other crop growing in the farmers fields (along side his legitimate crops) and demands payment.

No law should support any entity's control over the spread of a biological agent. Quite the opposite, the companies that wish to sell modified biological agents of any sort should be held responsible for the spread of the product and the farmers should be suing them for contaminating their crops.

control the basics of human survival- water,food,shelter. air?
control security. .litigate or assassinate. got the picture?
spray anyone in the way with corexit.

That is exactly correct. The conspiracy isn't to foist genetically-modified foods on the unsuspecting populace. Genetic engineering has taken place for centuries with no ill effects. Virtually all the produce you eat is genetically engineered in some way, and was well before DNA was ever discovered. Guess what the difference between a "plantain" and a "banana" are? Almost nothing. The "banana" is a plantain that has been genetically engineered through selective breeding to taste sweeter, have a softer texture, and look more appealing. The two fruits come from the same species of plant.

No, Monsanto's conspiracy is, instead, total world domination of the world's agriculture business.
