Nothing new. Everybody knows Monsanto is the tool the 1% will use to murder off the masses. That is until their own children will become so sick of it that they will cut their throats and chop off their heads while they are sleeping. So sad.

Have you seen ''The Devil we know'' documentary about Dupont and the manufacturing of Teflon? Pensacola's Papantonio all up in it.

Dirty bastards. Thanks for the heads up polecat.

"Everybody said we all know it's a bunch of crap, Dupont wouldn't poison anybody. The shop talk was that Joe was out to get filthy rich, ha ha." Sucks to find out the people you trusted will choose the dollar over you and your families lives every time.

Monsanto's insidious. Farmers live in fear of those creeps, because they mix their "patented" seed into other seeds, and if they find one of their plants on your land, they'll try to seize your whole farm. I thought the whole thing was overblown until I started talking to a few farmers. It's basically a mafia-like shakedown operation.

Exactly! And once they merge with Bayer the combined company will have a stranglehold on our food supply. Bayer and Monsanto should have both been broken up years ago. This is a perfect example of inherent flaw in laissez-faire capitalism.

Capitalism and Democracy may not be able to peacefully co-exist. Goliath corporations have destroyed anti-trust enforcement.



America used to have antitrust laws that permanently stopped corporations from monopolizing markets, and often broke up the biggest culprits.

No longer. Now, giant corporations are taking over the economy – and they’re busily weakening antitrust enforcement.

The result has been higher prices for the many, and higher profits for the few. It’s a hidden upward redistribution from the majority of Americans to corporate executives and wealthy shareholders.

Antitrust has been ambushed by the giant companies it was designed to contain.

His balls are falling.

David vs Monsanto, on Amazon, is a great movie about wind-borne GMO seeds and Monsanto's bullying tactics.

How is it possible that our society is so completely screwed up that we've allowed this to happen? WTF!

Corn is 1 of the crops that farmers would plant 1 extra field for next years seed. For all time it was that way. Not any more.

Need any more reasons to wish slow but painful early death on Bayer-Monsanto corporate heads?
