Confirmed: Monsanto is a criminal corporation that knowingly commits chemical crimes against all life on earth

[Natural News]: Monsanto, the world’s most evil corporation, has pled guilty to illegally spraying banned pesticides on research crops in Maui back in 2014, for which it will now have to pay $10.2 million in criminal fines.

According to reports, Monsanto both sprayed and stored a product known as Penncap-M that contains a banned insecticide known as methyl parathion, which the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has classified as an “acute hazardous waste.”

Not only did Monsanto illegally spray and store Penncap-M on the Hawaiian island, but it did so with full knowledge that the EPA had prohibited the chemical’s use in 2013, a full year before Monsanto decided to break the law and douse its test crops with it.

Monsanto had apparently told its employees to illegally spray Penncap-M on corn seed and other research crops in the town of Kihei on Maui’s southwest shore, as well as reenter the field seven days after spraying the chemical, even though the minimum waiting period should have been at least 31 days.

Prosecutors from the United States Attorney’s office for the Central District of California reportedly struck a deal with Monsanto, which is now owned by German pharmaceutical giant Bayer AG, to not prosecute the company so long as it agrees to pay $6 million in criminal penalties along with $4 million in community service payments....<<<Read The Full Article Here>>>..

South Carolina Farmer Sounds the Alarm on the Arrival of the Pollinator Bee Crisis

[Waking Times]: There is a time bomb ticking away that spells disaster for human beings and the quality of life on planet earth.

We’ve been watching and waiting, covering this story for years, and the more time goes by the more bad news keeps rolling in. In truth, this issue is far more grave a threat than the stuff the mainstream news keeps your eyes on, even more serious than mass shootings.

Colony collapse disorder is the name given to the sudden disappearance of living or dead worker bees in colonies which had plenty of food, honey and pollen. The bees are just gone.

First coming into popular consciousness around 2006, bee-keepers began reporting this strange global phenomenon and scientists began studying it. While the crisis has exacerbated considerably, much research today points to the use and overuse of chemical pesticides, herbicides and fungicides, most notably a class of pesticide called neonicotinoids.

A recent “study found that American agriculture has become 48 times more toxic to insects over the past 25 years and pinned 92 percent of the toxicity increase on neonicotinoids, which were banned by the European Union last year due to the threat they pose to bees and other pollinators.” [Source]

We continue to see dramatic and shocking losses to not only bee colonies and wild bee populations around the world, but also grave devastation of populations of other pollinator insects, butterflies, and even birds.

It has become so bad that many are calling it the ‘insect apocalypse,’ but no one seems to have yet grasped the significance of this, and where it goes from here....read more>>>>...

Anti-Monsanto Activism

S.O.T.T: Monsanto perhaps is the world's most hated corporation. Considering the competition, it's not easy taking top honors.  GMO foods and ingredients are toxic. They're unsafe to eat. They're hazardous to human health. They should be banned. Monsanto's the leading producer.  GMOs poison people for profit. Independent studies explain. Agribusiness giants want all animal and vegetable life forms patented. They want worldwide food control. Getting it means everything produced for human consumption won't be safe to eat. Last May, tens of thousands of people marched against Monsanto. They did so in dozens of countries worldwide. They want consumer protections enacted. They want safe food to eat. They want governments assuring it. They want GMO foods and ingredients labeled. Ideally they want them banned...read more>>>...

Genetic Engineering and Corporate Agribusiness: GMOs and the Impacts of Glyphosate Herbicide

Global Research: Seeds evolved for millions of years before humans invented corporate agribusiness. Genetic selection to improve crops began only when people invented farming. Early on, there was a vast germ pool from which to select differences in vigor, growth, quality characteristics, yield or disease resistance. Even after years of extensive selection and later blending into hybrids by diligent researchers during the past century, most of this inheritance is unpatentable and therefore useless as a source of power or corporate-style profit. Genetic engineering to modify crops exists because most of the world’s farmers depend on seeds, and as a novel way to manipulate genes it offered inviolate proprietary control. Two traits account for practically all of the genetically modified crops grown in the world today. One deploys herbicide-tolerance enabled by a glyphosate-insensitive form of the EPSPS gene coding (key to this GMO is the soil bacterium Agrobacterium tumefaciens). The other uses insect-resistance due to one or more toxin genes derived from the soil bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis. It is the former that concerns us here, for without glyphosate, the biotech industry would be an orphan, all dressed up with nowhere to go. Glyphosate, often known as Roundup® after the popular Monsanto product but available in many guises since its patent expired in 2000, is the partner GMOs must bring to the dance. It is a broad-spectrum herbicide that ingeniously ties up nutrient access rather than killing unwanted plants directly. It was heralded for many years as a relatively benign replacement for the horrific, dioxin-based herbicides of the past. The figures don’t lie; GMOs drive glyphosate sales....read more>>>...

Hungary torches 500 hectares of GM corn to eradicate GMOs from food supply

Natural News: When it comes to protecting the public from GMOs, Hungary knows how to get the job done: set fire to the fields growing GM corn! Although environmentalists might at first argue about the ramifications of burning so much organic matter right out in the open, the deeper truth is that genetic pollution poses a vastly more serious threat to our world, and burning GM corn is the one sure way to destroy the poisonous genetic code contained in plant tissues. In fact, I hope to see the day when the U.S. courts order the destruction of all GM corn fields across America. And I suspect that if the courts won't rise to the occasion, the People will sooner or later find a way to get it done on their own. Think "Army of the 12 Monkeys" but with a GMO slant...read more>>>..

Monsanto + Google + Bilderberg = End of Humanity

Vidrebel: The Bilderberg Society is holding its annual meeting this June in Watford just north of London. The theme this year is Google which is the tip of the modern Surveillance State. The video below discusses an earlier meeting in 2005 which was followed by a select meeting at which it was decided that Monsanto genetic manipulation of plants and animals was to be followed by gene spicing of animals and then humans. The video emphasizes that they plan to make it impossible for you to live and to reproduce without accepting genetic manipulation of our genes by Monsanto. This is the End of Humanity...read more>>>...

New study reveals how glyphosate in Monsanto's Roundup inhibits natural detoxification in human cells

NaturalNews: The modern age of industrial agriculture and manufacturing has dumped heavy metals, carninogens, plastics, and pesticides into the environment at alarming rates. These toxins are showing up in most human tissue cells today. One distinct chemical may be trapping these toxins in human cells, limiting the human body's ability to detoxify its own cells. In a new peer reviewed study, this sinister chemical, glyphosate, has been proven to inhibit the human cell's ability to detoxify altogether. Glyphosate, found in Monsanto's Roundup, is being deemed by publishers of the new study "one of the most dangerous chemicals" being unleashed into the environment today...read more>>>..

Chemtrails and Monsanto’s New Aluminum Resistance Gene – Coincidence? Update

Earth Heal: Why did Monsanto Develop an Aluminum Resistance Gene? Monsanto is currently marketing an aluminum resistance gene. 

Here’s the spin, folks: Small-scale, resource-poor farmers in developing countries face daily stresses, including poor soils, drought, and lack of inputs. Ongoing trends such as climate change and population growth will likely exacerbate binding stresses. A new generation of genetically engineered (GE) crop research aims to alleviate these pressures through the improvement of subsistence crops—such as cassava, sorghum, and millet—that incorporate traits such as tolerance to drought, water, and aluminum in soils as well as plants with more efficient nitrogen and phosphorus use. (http://www.ifpri.org/publication/delivering-genetically-engineered-crops-poor-farmers)

Coincidence that Monsanto will “come to the rescue” with aluminum resistance genes because normal plants die off in the presence of excess aluminum? Or opportunistic capitalism and planned corporate food monopoly courtesy of Monsanto and the Hegelian Dialectic based on insider information that a proposed “geo-engineering” scheme is already in place that is filling our atmosphere with chemtrails containing aluminum and barium?

This is no game folks. We are being hit from all sides with a planned, homicidal, genocidal agenda to make a very few families even richer than they already are, and reduce the world’s population to 500 million as set forth in the Georgia Guidestones. This is nothing short of biological warfare...read more>>>...

Monsanto's Roundup herbicide linked to Cancer, Autism, Parkinson's

S.O.T.T: Glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup, may be "the most biologically disruptive chemical in our environment," say authors. The active ingredient in Monsanto's Roundup herbicide may be "the most biologically disruptive chemical in our environment," being responsible for a litany of health disorders and diseases including Parkinson's, cancer and autism, according to a new study. It's "the most popular herbicide on the planet," widely used on crops like corn and soy genetically engineered to be "Roundup Ready," and sprayed on weeds in lawns across the US. But in the peer-reviewed study published last Thursday in the journalEntropy, authors Anthony Samsel, an independent scientist and consultant, and Stephanie Seneff, a senior research scientist at MIT, crush the industry's claims that the herbicide glyphosate is non-toxic and as safe as aspirin...read more>>>...

Ten ways Monsanto is trying to kill us all

S.O.T.T: Energy-intensive industrial farming practices that rely on toxic chemicals and genetically engineered crops are not just undermining public health - they're destroying the planet.

Here's how:

Generating Massive Greenhouse Gas Pollution (CO2, Methane, Nitrous Oxide) and Global Warming; While Promoting False Solutions Such as Industrial Biofuels, So-Called Drought-Resistant Crops, and Genetically Engineered Trees

Evaluations of corn grown for ethanol show that whatever reduction in emissions you get from burning corn instead of oil in the gas tank is more than offset by the fact that producing biofuel from corn requires as much fuel as it could replace. Corn production, like the production of all of the crops (corn, cotton, canola, soy, and now, sugar beets and alfalfa) that Monsanto has so successfully industrialized through its business model of selling patented GMO seeds to increase the use of its pesticides, is very fossil fuel intensive. But that's just the beginning of Monsanto's contribution to agriculture's green house gas emissions. With ever-increasing acreage, where are all those GMO crops going? They're being fed to animals, and when you look at emissions from factory farms, you'll wish we burned them in the gas tank instead! ...read more>>>...

3 Facts Everybody Should Know About Monsanto

Collective Evolution: Monsanto is an american multinational corporation founded in the early 1900′s by John Francis Queeny. It’s no coincidence that he was a veteran of the pharmaceutical industry. Monsanto and the people that govern it hide behind the classification of multinational corporations and political labels in order to implement their desired agenda. Why on Earth is our food being manufactured by the largest pesticide company in the world? Food is supposed to give us health and nourishment, but today our food contains toxins that are without question a major threat to our health. Toxic chemicals are added to our food supply simply through production, harmful pesticide residue and genetic engineering of seeds and crops. Even food packaging can be a source of toxins in food. Why are we allowing poisonous and toxic chemicals to enter into our food supply? What type of corporation would try to persuade the population that it is a good thing? Monsanto would, it’s no coincidence that the food, pharmaceutical and medical industries are so well connected. The most common argument against this fact is “well, I don’t know”, which is not much of an argument at all. In fact, everything we use in our daily lives can often be traced back to a group of families and the corporations they run...read more>>>...

Mycotoxins: The hidden hormone danger in our food supply

S.O.T.T: Over 30 years ago, scientists observed mycotoxin contaminated animal feed (grains) interfering with normal sexual development in young female pigs, resulting in estrogenic syndromes and precocious puberty. Recent human research in the U.S. is now confirming that the contamination of our food supply with fungal toxins is adversely affecting the sexual development of young girls. Grains, once considered the foundation of the USDA's food pyramid, have recently come under scrutiny due to their purported evolutionary incompatibility (e.g. Paleodiet), their co-option by biotech and agricultural corporations (e.g. Monsanto's Franken-Corn), as well as the fact that they convert to "sugar" within the body, to name but a few of a growing list of concerns. But there may be a more underlying problem affecting all grains, including both organic and conventional varieties, that Nature herself produces, and it goes by the name of Mycotoxins...Read more>>>...

The FDA Doesn’t Even TEST the Safety of Genetically Engineered Foods

Global Research: There is a voluntary consultation process. Genetically engineered foods are overseen by the FDA, but there is no approval process. Foods are presumed to be safe unless the FDA has evidence to the contrary, Jaffe says. The FDA “has to show that there may be a problem with the food, as opposed to the company needing to prove it’s safe to FDA’s satisfaction before it can get on the market,” he says.

Given that genetically engineered foods have been linked to obesity, cancer, liver failure, infertility and all sorts of other diseases (brief videos here and here), the burden should be on the Monsanto and the other gmo producers to prove it’s safe...read more>>>...

Worse than DDT: When you eat this, it ends up lingering in your gut



S.O.T.T: "In part one of this interview, Dr. Huber discussed the shocking discovery of a brand new organism in genetically engineered (GE) crops - an organism that has been clearly linked to infertility and miscarriage in cattle, horses, pigs, sheep, and poultry that are raised on GE feed.

In part one we began the discussion on the hazards of glyphosate, the active ingredient in Monsanto's herbicide Roundup, and its contribution to a new phenomenon referred to as "Sudden Death Syndrome" (SDS)." ... read more>>>...

Does 100% natural mean GMO-Free? Natural regulators side with Monsanto

S.O.T.T: When you purchase shampoo or cosmetics and it has a sticker on it that claims it is "natural", what's your impression? You think the ingredients are all-natural, right? Naturally, you are not alone. However, the agency who is in charge of certifying personal care items as "natural" seems to think GMO ingredients fit under this umbrella. No matter what product it is, 100% natural does NOT also mean GMO-free...read more>>>...

GM corn and tumors: Monsanto holds up tradition of lying against all evidence, but fails miserably

S.O.T.T: "Monsanto's efforts to dismiss new evidence linking its genetically modified (GM) corn to tumors has been thoroughly debunked in a public briefing by the food sustainability nonprofit Earth Open Source. "NK603 must be immediately withdrawn from the market and all GMOs must be subjected to long-term testing," the briefing concludes. In a two-year study, a team of French researchers led by Professor Gilles-Eric Seralini found that rats fed Monsanto's "Roundup Ready" corn developed significantly more tumors than a control group not fed GM corn. The rats fed a GM diet also developed tumors that appeared earlier and behaved more aggressively, and died sooner than rats in the control group. The study found similar effects in rats exposed to Roundup herbicide at levels currently considered safe by most regulators. "Roundup Ready" crops have been engineered for resistance to Monsanto's top-selling herbicide glyphosate, marketed under the trade name Roundup. In the scientific literature, Roundup Ready corn is also known as NK603."...read more>>>...

Homeland Security is Working for Monsanto

Activist Post: ' When we see photographs of rats grossly deformed by massive tumors after eating genetically engineered corn laced with Roundup, it's not good news for Monsanto. People understand instantly in looking at those pathetic rats that organic food is not a niche market or a expensive luxury, but a life or death issue, because the rats were fed corn that is part of the American diet. All the studies that were required but bypassed before GMOs were unleashed into the food chain seem compressed into this one devastating study by CRIIGEN. The Monsanto lies are exposed. People must avoid GMOs at all costs and eat organic food if they are to survive.'...read more>>>...

Surprise! Monsanto-Funded Research Finds Their Products Safe

Increasingly, the front lines of the information warfare being perpetuated by corporations upon the people are moving into peer-reviewed biomedical and life sciences journals. Once considered a place where rigorous, empirical science -- i.e. the truth -- is vindicated and publicly acknowledged, these journals, and the scientists who publish in them, are no longer capable of maintaining the once hard and fast illusion that they are immune to the corrupting influence of industry. Corporations like Monsanto, whose GMO-agriculture inventions (Bt corn; Roundup herbicide) now threaten human and environmental health alike, have moved beyond the stage of simply denying or minimizing the science revealing the harm being done by their products (there is too much science now to maintain this strategy!); rather, they are now investing in the burgeoning, multi-billion dollar industry practice known as "check book" science: find willing researchers, research institutions, and journals to create and publish information favorable to the company writing the check, and you're in business...read more>>>...

Hang onto your DNA - the 1% wants that, too

First, they took your manufacturing, then your jobs, then your homes, then the whole economy. Next, they got more physically personal and took the food that goes into your body and genetically engineered it and, in doing so, they took your health. They are also going after all land and resources and your labour (an undeclared part of UN Agenda 21, which they wrote). But all that is not enough. They want more of what is yours and they are going even deeper. They want to take over your DNA. They can do this with the new DNA vaccines. They are injecting genetically engineered PATENTED material into people. That means not only that they are altering people's very code of life (for the first time in all of existence, forcing their synthetic genetically engineered material into the person's DNA), but after doing so they can make commercial patent claims on what is inside people's bodies. This is just what Monsanto is doing to farmers after it contaminates their organic fields. They could make claims over blood, organs, whatever, because DNA with their patented intellectual property is in it all. And this is the intent...read more>>>...

Un-Earthed: Is Monsanto's Glyphosate Destroying The Soil?

Ever since Monsanto developed, marketed and patented the glyphosate molecule -- Roundup (®) herbicide’s active ingredient -- beginning in the early 70’s, a substantial and ever-growing portion of the earth’s arable surface has been transformed into an environmental and human health experiment, of unprecedented scale. Non-industry funded human research on glyphosate exposure is only now being performed, and the preliminary picture being painted isn't very pretty. (David Icke Headlines)
