I heard the author interviewed. The recent destruction of Dams across America and the clean energy source they provided is part of this.
Pinging the Agenda 21 list (and some of the participants of this thread) for a controversial Monsanto thread.
There are those who are concerned about manipulations of the food supply and agribusiness. Others are concerned about modern day “Luddites” trying to block the progress and development of technology.
Whenifhow has some very interesting links at post 44. The second one in particular shows the intersection of people who hold positions at Monsanto AND the government.

Interesting, although I’m sure that the Monsanto defenders would shrug that off or try to explain it as a mere coincidence. This would probably explain why they’ve been so successful at fighting GMO labeling requirements.
If there’s really nothing to fear from GMO foods, why is Monsanto afraid to let consumers know what they’re buying? People have the right to know what -specifically- they’re buying. Any company that fights such a basic principle so fiercely is unethical. I’d rather see a product outright banned than let a company sell it under deceptive pretenses.
Transparency is good. It keeps people honest. We need it everywhere we can get it, folks, whether we’re talking about businesses or the government.
The Monsanto web site claims that the FDA believes there isn’t sufficient reason to label GM foods. So when we all acknowledge that the government is rife with corruption, I’m supposed to trust the wing that prosecutes Amish farmers who try to sell raw milk? Riiiight.
Thanks for the ping!
