Monsanto Patent for a Pig

I believe they may be in contest for that honor, with Dow.

Monsanto already has a patented pig. His name is Dennis Hastert!

I dont know if anyone really watched these video's but you should. That is incredibly serious stuff.

Karen, good post. Very good.

OK, I take it back.
Monsanto IS the most evil company in the world, but only by degrees.
Many companies are trying to do the same thing as Monsanto is. It just seems as though Monsanto has enjoyed less publicity and more success.

Perhaps when Bush and the culture of corruption is gone, and if teh country manages to move in a more healthy direction, maybe these issues will attract more attention? With crime a day Bushco in charge, it's little wonder anybody has the strength to consider the charges against monsanto. Besides, with Bushco in charge, they've had a very strong allie in the US government.

Separated at birth!!! LOL




Thanks Abell. Scary stuff huh?
The MSM really needs to sorts it's sh*t out and start doing its job of informing the people before it's too late for the people to do anything to prevent these abuses!
In the meantime it's up to people like us.

Edit: Here's a very useful link for anyone interested in finding out more about Monsanto. Lots of useful info, including names of board members, directors, etc in the appendix . Corporate Watch: Monsanto

Unfortunately, the Monsanto issue has to go on the list with all the other critical issues.

Bushco and ALL that entails, The war's, global Climate Change and energy issues.
These are huge, complicated, multi level issues. Monsanto business practices is one more to deal with.

At the moment it seems the world is on the verge of imploding under it's own weight.

monsanto is at the core of so many horrible things going on in the world right now, yet they are so deeply entrenched in everyone's every day life, that to stop them would be like excising a tumor from the center of your brain with a pitchfork. Dow is bad, but monsanto is worse, because they have believable whitewashing tactics that have allowed them to fly under the radar for so long that they've been able to line all the right pockets. The fuel crisis and the rise of ethanol have given them so much profit that it will be next to impossible to contain the havoc they're wreaking. A global crisis of gentetic mutations is about all that will create the environment of worldwide banning of their products, and without that, we're all in serious trouble.

Imploding under its own weight? yes. but I believe a third of our problems could be solved by trapping Monsanto's executives in the quarantine sections of their experimental labs, and running a c-span like broadcast of it around the world.

here's the one part version

thanks for the heads up karen!

Monsanto has to Accept Full Responsibility for Genetic Contamination
July 3, 2008



On 19 March 2008 Monsanto accepted their responsibility for the genetic contamination of Schmeiser’s canola fields in an out of court settlement between Percy Schmeiser and Monsanto.

In an earlier trial the Canadian Supreme Court had recognized the legality of the patent protection to Monsanto’s Transgene, but at the same time this court had transferred the question about the legality of a patent about life and forms of life to the Canadian Parliament for re-evaluation. In accordance with earlier legal norms the owner of a patent on a certain gene is also the owner of the respective harvest. This question is still pending and has to be re-assessed by the Canadian Parliament.

Since Schmeiser could prove that he had never used Monsanto’s genetically modified seeds nor the total-herbicide Roundup Ready going with the Monsanto GM seeds, and that he had indeed no advantage from the pollution and contamination of his harvest, he was acquitted of Monsanto’s compensation demands.

In 2005 Schmeiser again found Monsanto GM Rap plants on his fields. He informed Monsanto and demanded that the company remove the plants. Monsanto confirmed to Schmeiser that the plants were Roundup-Ready raps and therefore property of Monsanto. Referring to the existing judgement that the owner of a plant is also liable for plant contamination damages, Schmeiser had the plants removed professionally and forwarded the removal cost invoice to Monsanto.

In earlier attempts to achieve an out of court settlement, Monsanto had not consented to paying the removal cost amounting to $660, so Schmeiser subsequently had sued the company. Monsanto would have paid for the contamination damage, but only under the condition that Schmeiser signed a “gag agreement”, i.e. he would agree not to talk about the damage case, which would have deprived him and/or his wife of the right for the remainder of their lives to ever speak about the case publicly or to ever again sue Monsanto for contaminating their harvest in future before any court. Schmeiser rejected. The demands raised by Monsanto were totally immoral. When the judge asked why Monsanto had not simply paid the very small sum of $ 660, Monsanto’s lawyer Richard W. Danyliuk responded that there was a lot more involved than just $ 660.

One hour before the court hearing was scheduled on March 19, 2008 Monsanto accepted all demands of Percy Schmeiser as well as their responsibility for the contamination of Schmeiser’s fields. Monsanto does not only pay for the damage but also accepts that Schmeiser reports and informs the public about the background and that he can express his opinion and position about this case in public. The acceptance of responsibility by Monsanto as the owner of the patented Transgene for the contamination of neighbouring fields opens the path for all farmers in the world to demand compensation by Monsanto.

Great news. Hope we get to read more like this in the coming weeks and months - enough to create a sh*t-storm to put Monsanto out of business! (Well, I can dream can't I? )

Yes.

I suspect, that until the political mood of "the people" shifts more to the left, the best we can hope for is to slow them down here and there.

But DO keep working that way. Maybe without knowing it we can make the ripple into a wave.

Situation Report:
I'm afraid I must warn you that it's only a matter of time before I start talking of 'ants' and 'rubber tree plants'! It really is that serious!
You have been warned!

heh heh, once upon a time that ant and his rubber tree plant, was part of some wacky liberals campaign commercial.
