Gravity/Monsanto Heads Up Sticky

It's called 'commission sales' - like used car salesmen, stock traders pushing derivatives on old widows, workers at cell phone kiosks at the mall, etc.

Bottom feeders without a scintilla of knowledge of anything related to botany, soil biology, common sense, etc.

LD, that's not very nice to the real bottom feeders.

 

Yeah like "Our product will cure the heartbreak of psoriasis but you may experience side-effects like a distended colon, swollen glands, vaginal discharge, nocturnal emissions (obviously the last 2 are gender dependent - hopefully), flatulence ("It's nothing to sniff at!") - but you won't have psoriasis to worry about!"

"Prior to being the Supreme Court Judge who put G.W. in office, Clarence Thomas was Monsanto's lawyer."

"The U.S. Secretary of Agriculture (Anne Veneman) was on the Board of Directors of Monsanto's Calgene Corporation."

"The Secretary of Defense (Donald Rumsfeld) was on the Board of Directors of Monsanto's Searle pharmaceuticals."

To many links to link on the issue of revolving door policy...


[SIZE=+2px]The [/SIZE]FDA's pro-rBGH activities make more sense in light of conflicts of interest between the FDA and the Monsanto corporation. Michael R. Taylor, the FDA's deputy commissioner for policy, wrote the FDA's rBGH labelling guidelines. The guidelines, announced in February 1994, virtually prohibited dairy corporations from making any real distinction between products produced with and without rBGH. To keep rBGH-milk from being "stigmatized" in the marketplace, the FDA announced that labels on non-rBGH products must state that there is no difference between rBGH and the naturally occurring hormone.In March 1994, Taylor was publicly exposed as a former lawyer for the Monsanto corporation for seven years. While working for Monsanto, Taylor had prepared a memo for the company as to whether or not it would be constitutional for states to erect labelling laws concerning rBGH dairy products. In other words. Taylor helped Monsanto figure out whether or not the corporation could sue states or companies that wanted to tell the public that their products were free of Monsanto's drug.
Taylor wasn't the only FDA official involved in rBGI-1 policy who had worked for Monsanto. Margaret Miller, deputy director of the FDA's Office of New Animal Drugs was a former Monsanto research scientist who had worked on Monsanto's rBGH safety studies up until 1989. Suzanne Sechen was a primary reviewer for rBGH in the Office of New Animal Drugs between 1988 and 1990. Before coming to the FDA. she had done research for several Monsanto-funded rBGH studies as a graduate student at Cornell University. Her professor was one of Monsanto's university consultants and a known rBGH promoter.
Remarkably. the GAO determined in a 1994 investigation that these officials' former association with the Monsanto corporation did not pose a conflict of interest. But for those concerned about the health and environmental hazards of genetic engineering, the revolving door between the biotechnology industry and federal regulating agencies is a serious cause for concern.

"The World According to Monsanto"

sorry, really high and lazy, no link right now lol but its on youtube

 

Here you go. Part one of 10. Interested folks can go to youtube for the whole thing.

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvGddgHRQyg]The World According to Monsanto part 1 of 10 - YouTube[/ame]

 

It always pisses me off to hear about this greed and know that this corporation is so vast that it's nearly impossible to not end up doing business with them in some form or another in our day to day lives. It's a cancer on the world, a tumor that should be stopped.

 

Holy shit.

Every day I see more and more and more badness by these people.

Just what we want - the people that made Agent Orange and DDT controlling the worlds food supply.

And thats just the very teeny tip of the iceberg.

jerry.

 

I watched the ten part you tube documentary in it's entirety. How this company is even allowed to exist is beyond me. It's down right evil. Meanwhile they keep us all busy with our gadgets and our arguments about useless politics while they do this under our noses. There was a reason for separation of church and state and the same idea should be applied to businesses big and small. To infiltrate the regulatory process is a huge conflict of interest

 

it's amazing how many people have their homes stocket to the brim with kraft, nabisco, general mills, and other tasteless GMO synthetics and factory farm crap. It seems like nothing but g=ds holy wrath can destruct this nutritional and educational void.

The fact that they themselves wrote the law governing their own regulations and labelig requirements is plain crooked. Thats the reason that those products don't have to state that it was sourced from GMO's and that milk without rbgh has to state that there's no proven difference between the two. They know it's bad they know the reputation is bad so they have to hide shit. It's criminal

 

Protest?!?

I would think a bit more in the way of *direct action* would better serve.
