Biotech giant Monsanto has been genetically modifying the world's food supply and subsequently breeding environmental devastation for years, but
leaked documents now reveal that Monsanto has also deeply infiltrated the United States government. With leaked reports revealing how U.S. diplomats
are actually working for Monsanto to push their agenda along with other key government officials, Monsanto's grasp on international politics has never
been clearer.
Amazingly, the information reveals that the massive corporation is also intensely involved in the passing and regulations concerning the very GM
ingredients they are responsible for. In fact, the information released by WikiLeaks reveals just how much power Monsanto has thanks to key
positions within the United States government and elsewhere. Not only was it exposed that the U.S. is threatening nations who oppose Monsanto with
military-style trade wars, but that many U.S. diplomats actually work directly for Monsanto
In 2007 it was requested that specific nations inside the European Union be punished for not supporting the expansion of Monsanto's GMO crops. The
request for such measures to be taken was made by Craig Stapleton, the United States ambassador to France and partner to George W. Bush. Despite
mounting evidence linking Monsanto's GM corn to organ damage and environmental devastation, the ambassador plainly calls for 'target retaliation'
against those not supporting the GM crop. In the leaked documents, Stapleton states:
"Country team Paris recommends that we calibrate a target retaliation list that causes some pain across the EU since this is a collective
responsibility, but that also focuses in part on the worst culprits. The list should be measured rather than vicious and must be sustainable over the
long term, since we should not expect an early victory. Moving to retaliation will make clear that the current path has real costs to EU interests and
could help strengthen European pro-biotech voices."
Many US diplomats pawns of Monsanto's GM agenda
While it may be shocking to you if you are not familiar with the corrupt influence of Monsanto, the cables also show that many US diplomats are
pushing GMO crops as a strategic government and commercial imperative. Interestingly enough, the U.S. focused their efforts toward advisers to the
pope specifically, due to the fact that many Catholic figureheads have openly voiced their opposition to GM foods. With this kind of political
influence, is it any wonder that many food staples are now predominantly GM? Nearly 93% of U.S. soybeans are heavily modified conservatively, with
many other staple crops coming in at similar numbers.
Monsanto spent an astonishing $2 million lobbying the federal government in the 3rd quarter of 2011 alone.
As mentioned previously, 45,000 signatures did nothing to stop Monsanto's "progress." They are like an unstoppable machine, and their motives are
beyond profit, perhaps for something more insidious, like population control. Not only is the head of the USDA a
Monsanto friend, but Obama's "Food Czar," Michael Taylor, was a lawyer and lobbyist
for Monsanto. Could you reall make a worse pick? Seriously?
I think this is really getting past the point of no return. We have spread awareness, gathered signatures, and have tried to chose organic, but
nothing seems to work....
