Monsanto is worse than the mafia or the Federal government - they should be prosecuted for RICO.

The fundamental problem is with their product - patented seed. It spreads and crosspollinates with other farms using non-Monsanto seed - Monsanto then sues the farmers for “infringement” even though it’s the Monsanto stock that is tainting the other feedstocks.

Two things happen when Monsanto attacks these farmers 1) the farmer decides to fight it and loses everything as the court process is in essence a piling up of legal bills until someone goes broke, or 2) the farmer decides to settle by going out of business, paying excessive settlement charges, and/or they convert to Monsanto customers.

It’s an ugly group and an ugly business more worthy of a third-world state that the USA.

I’ve been catching those videos as well and they are scarier than the impersonator in the WH.

And more and more often people are “speculating” the bee problem is tied to the Monsanto soy crop.

Before the next farmer decides to replant a Monsanto patented seed and claim that it was merely the result of accidental cross pollinating, he might do well to read up a little on genetics. That is, the resulting grain will carry the genetic markers of the parent seeds, and thus far none of the unsuccessful defendants have been able to explain how the grain was the result of accidental pollination but carried only the genetic material of the Monsanto seed.
