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.
What the leaked documents reveal -- Military style trade wars, government corruption
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."
The undying support of key players
within the U.S. towards Monsanto is undeniably made clear not only in
this release, but in the legislative decisions taken by organizations
such as the FDA and USDA. Legislative decisions such as allowing
Monsanto's synthetic hormone Posilac (rBGH) to be injected into U.S.
cows despite being banned in 27 countries. How did Monsanto pull this
off?
The biotech juggernaut managed to infiltrate the FDA
positions responsible for the approval of rBGH, going as far as
instating the company's own Margaret Miller as Deputy Director of Human
Safety and Consultative Services. After assuming this position, Miller
reviewed her own report on the safety and effectiveness of rBGH.
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.
U.S. diplomats have unique opportunities to spread
honest and intellectual campagins that can serve to better mankind and
end suffering, however they are instead spreading the roots of Monsanto
deeper and deeper into international territory. As a substitute for the
betterment of mankind, these paid-off diplomats are now spreading
environment desecration and health destruction.
As if there
wasn't already enough information to reveal Monsanto's corruption, the
biotech giant also spends enormous amount of money lobbying government
each year. Monsanto spent an astonishing $2 million lobbying the federal
government in the 3rd quarter of 2011 alone, according to mainstream
sources. Why so much cash? The government lobbying focuses on issues
like regulations for GM crops and patent reforms. This 'legal' form of
persuasion is the reason government agencies like the USDA and FDA let
Monsanto roam freely.
Satisfying government officials' financial
vested interest is all that matters when dealing with corrupt
mega-corporations like Monsanto. As long as these financial ties
continue to exist, Monsanto will continue to reign over the food supply
and continue to wreak devastation to the environment, ecosystem, and
humankind.
