Sign the Petition!
I just signed a petition to ask our government to stop the Monsanto monopoly.
They are gaining control over a majority of the world’s seeds, through acquisitions and cut-throat business practices has cornered 90% of the soy, 65% of the corn, and 70% of the cotton market, and has a rapidly growing presence in the fruit and vegetable market, all without government anti-trust officials raising an eyebrow.
This firm is known for their terrorizing of small farmers and entire rural farming communities with lawyers and lawsuits. They are one of the leaders in genetically modifying seeds. They genetically modify seeds to tolerate their product, Roundup. Meaning, these food crops are throughout their life are going to be doused with a toxic poison. The seeds may be roundup ready, but how about you and me? Roundup is poisoning peasants in South America, where soy fields are fast replacing grass based cattle ranches.
They are poisoning us all with their Round-up herbicide.
The world will be a safer place without this bad corporate citizen.
Please sign the petition. Here is the link to the Bust Monsanto’s Monopoly petition.

Has there been any testing to see if Monsanto’s GMO’s are safe for bees? Is Monsanto the cause of the massive mystery bee die off?
I’ve been doing some more research on Monsanto’s products, especially their GMO’s with the pesticide in the seed.
There is no mention of the pesticide becoming inert or being eliminated from the plant before harvesting.
It does brag about how effective it is against a wide range of bugs.
Are animals smarter than we are? They refuse to eat GMO fed, are they smelling or sensing the pesticides in the feed?
How do they know the feed is GMO?
Cattle in India have died after eating GMO seeds in the fields.
Fields of GMO plants. The same fields that the cattle have been eating in for decades suddenly is deadly?
Imagine vast fields of soy beans and corn and whatever else Monsanto makes being pollinated by millions of bees.
Imagine that after pollinating the fields that these bees covered in pollen and taking that pollen back to the hive, use it to make honey,
The think about that pollen from plants that make their own pesticide that are in the plant and that plants pollen.
The pollen is what a bee’s life is all about, and if the pollen is contaminated with Monsanto’s plant grown pesticide it’s going to do what it was made to do, KILL BUGS, BEES ARE BUGS.
Is it any mystery that the bees are dying off?
The bee larva are fed the poisoned honey, the bees bring the poisoned pollen into the hive. They don’t have showers to wash off the pollen, so eventually that pollen will kill the bees.
Are they looking for pesticide in the pollen or building up in the bee body when they investigate why the bees are dying?
Are they looking at this possibility?
Some bees are taken directly to the field to be pollinated and then brought back to the bee keepers.
Thank you so much for posting this! I signed the petition and linked to the article on facebook yesterday. We’ll be linking to it in this week’s blog, as well, as we’ll be releasing our interview with Jeffrey M. Smith, author of Seeds of Deception and Genetic Roulette. We’ll be appealing to everyone to take political action for labeling GMO food and removing it from children’s lunch programs and WIC government food distribution. We cannot choose wisely if these products are not labeled, and it is time we end the unwitting experiment with the American public. Monsanto must be stopped.
