Obama is a slave to the Corporations, their sock puppet.

Which is why a choice between Monsanto and WW III is such a tough call for him.

“A single corn kernel coated with a neonicotinoid can kill a songbird,” Palmer said. “Even a tiny grain of wheat or canola treated with the oldest neonicotinoid — called imidacloprid — can fatally poison a bird. And as little as 1/10th of a neonicotinoid-coated corn seed per day during egg-laying season is all that is needed to affect reproduction.”

Sorry I will have to reserve judgment on this until I see this study duplicated by reputable scientist.

This is a paid for study by the American Bird Conservancy.

It just doesn’t make sense. These seeds are planted all over this country and the crow population is exploding. Crows feast on sprouted corn in fields all over this country during the spring at the peak of fledging. If this corn seed was so deadly there would be no crows in a few short years.

Destroyed?

By what/whom?

Yeah, I saw that, but it doesn’t make any sense.

He certainly doesn’t court the energy industry like that

” but for some reason I see less and less bees every year.”

And far fewer butterflies and moths. I figured it was the lawn chemicals everyone is spraying. I won’t use them. Worst lawn in my neighborhood!

DDT is safe enough to eat. Bring back the miracle insecticide DDT!

Yes, just what is killing all the bees?

Try this conspiracy theory: 1. Monsanto has genetically modified crops with insecticide producing genes in them. The bees that eat the pollen of these crops die.

2. In the meantime, Monsanto genetically modifies bees to be resistant to the insecticide, and 3. patents the bee sequence. 4. Any beekeepers found to have these bees in their hives that have not paid Monsanto for them are shut down and the bees destroyed. 5. Pretty soon, Monsanto owns a patent on pollenation.

1 - 3 are fact. There are lawsuits in litigation today that are working on #4.

I read that sun activity also affects bees navigation and there may be a correlation between bee disappearance and sun activity. Apparently there was a similar bee loss about 60 years ago.

You have to venture into the tinfoil arena when examining this incident.

Why would the State, and Monsanto, want to destroy bees resistant to Roundup?

Not-so-tinfoil - Monsanto is developing a strain of bees of their own and want to patent them and charge out the butt for using “their” bees.

Major tinfoil - The PTB are working with Monsanto on some Malthusian depopulation agenda through mass starvation.

The US is definitely on the wrong side of “history” on this.

GMOs will make food crops extinct in short order.

There has been much discussion in the press of colony collapse disorder, or something with a similar name. I was under the impression scientists did not know the cause yet.

"Imidacloprid is a systemic insecticide which acts as an insect neurotoxin
and belongs to a class of chemicals called the neonicotinoids
which act on the central nervous system of insects with much lower toxicity to mammals."

"On 29 April 2013, 15 of the 27 European Union member states voted to enact a 2-year ban on the use of three neonicotinoids.
Eight nations voted against the ban, while four abstained."

No bees = starving world. Don't plant hybrid seed (genetically altered seed treated with neonicotinoids by Monsanto), plant heirloom seed grown with no pesticide and collect seed from those plants to be used the next year.

“On 26 March, Obama quietly signed this “Monsanto Protection Act” into law thus ensuring the American people have no recourse against this bio-tech giant as they fall ill by the tens of millions, and many millions will surely end up dying in what this MRNE report calls the greatest agricultural apocalypse in human history as over 90% of feral (wild) bee population in the US has already died out, and up to 80% of domestic bees have died out too.”

One of the conjectures is that the herbicide or pesticide causes the bees to be confused and get lost.

It doesn’t kill them outright, but a bee that can’t find his way home is dead anyway.

Please read the article. This is why we must stick to heirloom seed produced without this Monsanto pesticide.

I read that the man who ginned up all this hatred for genetic changes in our food has come out and said he was wrong, that he had exaggerated his findings, and now is trying to put the anti-genetics libtard genie back in the bottle.

I have no idea what is true in this matter, but I found this guy's retraction more than interesting.

The state is thinking short term profits for politicians and their friends, not the next generations of people or bees. Same with corporations.
