Organic Farmers Sue Monsanto
Nearly 300000 organic farmers are filing suit against corporate agriculture giant Monsanto, who have in recent years squashed independent organic farms from coast to coast. 270000 organic farmers filed a lawsuit in March 30 in an attempt to keep a portion of the world’s food supply organic. The plaintiffs in the case are members of around 60 family farms, seed businesses and organic agricultural organizations. Led by the Organic Seed Growers and Trade Association, the suit lashes out at Monsanto to keep their engineered Genuity® Roundup Ready® canola seed out of their farms. Organic agriculturalists say that corn, cotton, sugar beets and other crops of theirs have been contaminated by Monsanto’s seed, and even though the contamination has been largely natural and unintended, Monsanto has been suing hundreds of farmers for infringing on their patent for incidentally using their product. Not only are organic farmers trying to keep things — well, organic — but now many of them are being forced to throw in the towel as Monsanto unfortunately continues a successful war on the competition by suing indie growers that run organic farms. In recent years, Monsanto has acquired more than 20 of the biggest seed producers and sellers in the country, and The Street reports that they have instituted a policy whereas their customers are forced to use their bionengineered seeds — and purchase them each and every year — lest they want to be blacklisted forever. breakthematrix.com The …

Monsanto’s in Hawaii now. It’s time for us to fight. Seems like they are trying to start a ONE WORLD food system.

I live in the heart of America Northwestern PA,, and my heirloom organic garden went through hell this summer with the drought that we suffered for nearly a month and a half not to mention all the early spring rain that kept me from tilling my soil the aluminum and beryllium aerosol spraying took their toll on my watermelon and fruits did not produce enough even to collect seeds and everything else only produced half portions of what they normally would am now building busters for next year..

@morningmayan Some in Europe are living on light and more are eating much less. Food is double edged sword, light is the true food if humanity’s consciousness reach higher to be nourished by it. We are heading there, they can’t stop us from evolving. And well, no food might be just the catalyst for human to CHANGE.

Every time I bring up Monsanto’s threat on the world’s food supply people look at me like I’m a crazy conspiracy theorist. It is one of the hardest fights we will ever endure, and the outcome does not look to rosy. As everyone may already know, Monsanto is but one large cog of the machine that is being used to control humanity. I know that sounds gloom and doom, but I have spent years putting the pieces together, and all signs point to the NWO. Let’s beat them in their own game folks!!! UNITE

the thing the government needs to watch for more now is Mergers and monopolization. ATT needs to be stopped and slowed. It’s just uncompetitive. I don’t have any problem with GMO’s

We don’t allow monster trucks on our highways to crush the little economy cars. So why are we allowing Monster Monsanto to crush our economy? Why are we allowing that beast to run down and squash family farms, America’s national treasures? Why are we allowing that road hog to poison us with its stinky exhaust?
We need to get Monster Monsanto off America’s highways and put it in a corral where it belongs.

ECONOMY 101
The economy is like a garden — not a sprawling agribusiness, with endless rows of one crop, but an organic garden, diversified, harmonious, and lush with new growth. Tend the economy garden this way:
1. Support small businesses.
2. Curb large corporations that bully them out of business.
3. Supply more college funding for students.
4. Facilitate more business loans to entrepreneurs.
5. Buy American; keep American businesses in America.
Someone please put a leash on Monster Monsanto!

Earlier, in Norway, there was this concept they called “Koloni-hager” which in English translates to “Colonial gardens” which would be a humorous term, what it was: City people rented small spots from farmers on which they could grow vegetables and berries etc.
Oftentimes the farmer would help out as an overseer.
This is a very good concept.

@NiKkMV “… that stuff thats always marked under “nature’s promise”? well why do i have a feeling that its just a fake name they put under the food to make it seem like its actually organic …”
It reminds me of jam and other stuff sold as “Grandma’s recipe” or something like that, and when you look at what’s in it you have to wonder how grandma long ago used MSG and other factory goo in the food she made…

@morningmayan Hi! I just learned that you can!
Eating fruit kills nothing and no one!! Yes, it is true. Angel darling,
I watch ur vid’s from time to time and 6/7 days/week I see maniacal
planes spraying white dust that grows and pulls surrounding clouds together.
I love and appreciate you. I want to pass on this title to you and hope you
take it serious and read it. It’s a book called “The 80/10/10 Diet”
Angel Mayan, it will tell you all about what our natural diet is -nothing dies.
