GO. WATCH. THIS. N.O.W!!! The documentary that Americans will not see.

Please. Please. Watch this. These videos will not be up long, as within a few days they are usually taken down.


The World According to Monsanto, Part One "We can't afford to lose 1 dollar of business"

Part Two

Part Three If you don't want to watch the whole of it, please, please, please, please, watch THIS one. Please. Bill Clinton? I take this opportunity to say "FUCK YOU!"

Part Four Health and Environmental safety testing are "bureaucratic hurdles" according to Republicans. So there went regulations cause they slowed the corporations down.


Part Five This gets worse and worse. I feel like vomitting. Please take a great look at the number of former administration officials who later became Monsanto employees, and Monsanto employees who became administration employees. We've even got one on the Supreme Court! Stand up, Clarence Thomas!

Part Six 70% of US food is GM engineered. Genetically Modified Food labeling is forbidden. And Monsanto falsified tests. Tons of them. Dear God. I feel even sicker. Monsanto had dioxin as part of one of its pesticides. What is dioxin? Main ingredient of Agent Orange Oh. My. God. Also, Tony Blair? You Christian person, you? FUCK. YOU.

Part Seven

Part Eight Monopolizing India's cotton farmers, forcing farmers to buy seeds at FOUR times the prices, forcing farmers to borrow from high interest money lenders, leading to bankruptcy and the infamous Indian farmer suicides.


Part Nine More on the Indian farmer suicides 600 suicides from June 2005- June 2006 in 2005, over 680 in next 6 mth period in 2006. Oh! Vandana Shiva!!!


Part Ten Mexico banned GM, but signed NAFTA. The corn is heavily subsidized by the US government, and costs about HALF of the local varieties. What happened? The transgenic contamination in the world's most diverse corn varieties.END corn subsidies, NAFTA. Force the FDA to ban transgenic plants.

Part Eleven Monsanto smears the Mexican scientist who discovered that their crops were being contaminated. Deliberate contaminated South American farms. Deforestation. Expulsion of small farmers. The Green Desert.

Part Twelve Poverty, Illness, Death-- the conquest of Paraguay, spraying pesticide on people and their farms, contaminating and destroying them. Poisoning the water. Foreigners taking over the land.

Wow, this is so damning. Makes me think twice about the soy products I consume so much as a vegetarian, too.

Would you mind if I added you?

Add away! And the soybean stuff made me instantly think of the vegetarians too. And spread the word!
