There truly is no rest for the wicked, and Monsanto is at war once again against health conscious consumers with the latest ‘Monsanto Protection Act‘, managing to sneak wording into the latest Senate legislation that would give them blanket immunity from any USDA action regarding the potential dangers of their genetically modified creations while under review. The USDA would be unable to act against any and all new GMO crops that were suspected to be wreaking havoc on either human health or the
If approved, the Monsanto Protection Act would force the USDA to allow continued planting of any GMO crop under court review, essentially giving backdoor approval for any new genetically engineered crops that could be potentially harmful to human health or the environment.

But god help us all if this is true and if it does go through.
I did a search of monsanto protection act and found nothing.
How much is too much?
I know we've already passed or even perhaps bypassed "too much".
But too much for the large majority of people, how much is too much for that very large group?

This is INSANE!
No labelling and then this?
How much of a horrific combination can occur?
Isn't this the worst it can possibly get symptoms aside?

The section is well worth opposing, but it isn't really breaking news -
Monsanto’s lobbyists have managed to slip the Monsanto Protection Act, also known as the Monsanto Rider (Sec. 735), into the Senate Continuing Resolution spending bill.
The so-called “Monsanto Rider” would require the Secretary of Agriculture to grant a temporary permit for planting or cultivating a genetically engineered crop, even if a federal court has ordered the planting be halted until an Environmental Impact Statement is completed. That’s right, even the federal courts won’t be able to stop Monsanto from planting unproven, potentially dangerous crops if this bill passes today.

How do Congressmen, and other government officials get away passing a paper clip. The moment an employee no longer stands up to their duties, they are no longer fit for duty are they not?

I agree
I'm POSITIVE that no labelling was step 1 and this act was always step 2.
Now what's step 3?
This are not isolated milestones, this has to be part of a very large plan!
