GMOs are about profit AND population control

A friend of a friend is the organic gardener for the CEO of Monsanto. When queried about gmo crop technology it was off -handedly replied that it is simply a measure for population control. 'We know this will make people sick and shorten lives".


I know this statement is in the realm of gossip and hearsay, but I had already been wondering if this is what is really up. There are people in this world who think like this. I would like to see "up front" population control, but apparently for some people and their profits, this will not happen fast enough. After all, we can't have the wrong people having long healthy lives.

Please understand that genetic engineering IS NOT a matter of breeding, which has been done for hundreds if not thousands of years. Genetic engineering is inserting something from one type of critter into an entirely different sort of critter. There are now at least two independent experiments that are showing damage caused by eating GMO soybeans.

Patented seeds cannont be saved to plant next year's crop. That takes a group of people who COULD feed themselves (and us) and turns them into serfs to the corporation.

The REAL threat is corporate control of all food stuffs.

Like the CEO of Monsanto would say that to his gardener.

GMO's are about controlling the world's food supply. The seed strains are patented, and farmers have to pay plenty to use them. GMO crops can cross-pollinate other crops, and when that occurs the unwary farmer is fined for stealing the patent, even though he had nothing to do with the "theft", which could have been perpetrated by bees, or the wind.

It's all about controlling the resources of the planet and charging inflated prices for them, as usual.

You can make anyone do your bidding,and you can kill off anyone you want,entire nations..included.

Haven't you noticed when corporations control and own ALL the food water land and other necessities of life and sell it for a price,people will slave all day for them and others predictably the poor will die??

Population control it's about killing yes,bit it is also about CONTROL.
He who controls the water and food controls the world.

Monsanto's "suicide seeds" are nothing less than a setup for this scenario.

Africa's got lots of minerals. Everything I've seen in Amerika's policy toward the countries of Africa indicates to me they are trying to kill off the people there.

"And We Have the Seeds"
Monsanto Purchases World’s Largest Vegetable Seed Company

“Monsanto Company to Acquire Seminis, Inc., a Leading Vegetable and Fruit Seed Company

Acquisition Expected to Add Near-term Income Growth and Diversity to Monsanto's Seed Portfolio

ST. LOUIS (Jan. 24, 2005) - Monsanto Company (NYSE: MON) announced today that it signed a definitive agreement to acquire Seminis, Inc., for $1.4 billion in cash and assumed debt… “

(From Monsanto Press Release)

Monsanto Goes Healthy?

The news of Monsanto’s agreement to purchase Seminis has received little attention from the media other than the financial pages and a few seed industry and anti-globalization web sites. But then again, why should it? How many consumers – of food or seed – have even heard of Seminis? And yet, as Seminis spinmeister Gary Koppenjan said, “If you've had a salad, you've had a Seminis product."

It is estimated that Seminis controls 40 percent of the U.S. vegetable seed market and 20 percent of the world market—supplying the genetics for 55 percent of the lettuce on U.S. supermarket shelves, 75 percent of the tomatoes, and 85 percent of the peppers, with strong holdings in beans, cucumbers, squash, melons, broccoli, cabbage, spinach and peas. The company’s biggest revenue source comes from tomato and peppers seeds, followed by cucumbers and beans.

In large part, these numbers reflect usage of Seminis varieties within large industrial production geared towards supermarkets, but Seminis seeds are also widely used by regional conventional and organic farmers as well as market and home gardeners. Johnny’s, Territorial, Fedco, Nichol’s, Rupp, Osborne, Snow, and Stokes are among the dozens of commercial and garden seed catalogs that carry the more than 3,500 varieties that comprise Seminis’ offerings. This includes dozens of All-American Selections and an increasing number of varieties licensed to third parties for certified organic seed production....

...One can only speculate on Monsanto’s motives for purchasing Seminis. We can make educated projections, just as Wall Street financiers have done on news of the acquisition. Financial and agricultural professionals interviewed in the mainstream press, such as Don Basse of the commodity advisory group Agresources, have surmised that the acquisition can be profitable for Monsanto only with the application of biotechnology – as Seminis conventional seed business was nearly half a million dollars in debt and continuing to lose money. ...
