I am a farmer that used to be all for GMO technology when it first came out, susceptible to the false claims that Monsanto had told us when we researched the products at NMSU agricultural science center.
Claims such as, Glyphosate (Roundup) is so safe and non-toxic, that you could "drink it", that it was totally biodegradable within days of use, and that GMO products were safe to consume (even though the products were so new that consumers were not able to eat them yet because they were still in the growing-testing phase).
Now, one of the products that they came out with is a corn seed that has inserted into the DNA code a beneficial bacteria called Bacillus thurengensis (BT corn).
It persists in the silk, and when a worm digests the silk, they also digest the bacteria and it leads to their demise. Would it not also be just as simple to insert a harmful bacteria such as E. coli? I think so....whether on purpose or by accident. I certainly do believe that this corporation has no morals, ethics or scruples and that they are hell-bent on dominating our world's food supply.
They have been after organic farms because it's the only safe food we have left. Organics haven't "bowed down" to GMOs, although they are beginning to here of late. I really do believe that Monsanto is part of a global conspiracy that is beyond the clutches of government.
Through this "fear campaign" they will be able to point fingers, blame others, and make it look like they are the innocent ones in order to open the door for a world wide monopoly in the seed industry.
They hold a "patent on life forms", which allows them to ruin the local farmer whose crop was unfortunate enough to cross pollinate, attain GMO properties in their family seedline...and monsanto sues them for not "purchasing the technology". Horrible, isn't it? What and who is to stop them?
Unless we all rise up against manipulative corporations such as this, we will all become slaves to them.
It was posted without a name, as a comment, but it is so clear I thought it my duty to publish it.

Shiga toxin responsible for 28 deaths linked to Monsanto
What is Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli?
Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli is a type of enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) bacteria that can cause illness ranging from mild intestinal disease to severe kidney complications. Other types of enterohemorrhagic E. coli include the relatively important serotype E. coli O157:H7, and more than 100 other non-O157 strains such as O111 and O26.
Shiga toxin
Monsanto partially funds the anti-organic Center for Global Food Issues, a project of the right-wing Hudson Institute. It is run by Dennis Avery and his son Alex Avery. Here find the latest on Hudson's anti-environmental and pro-biotech spinmeister Michael Fumento, and his secretly taking money (at least $60,000) from Monsanto.
In 1998 Dennis wrote an article that began "'According to recent data compiled by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC), people who eat organic and natural foods are eight times as likely as the rest of the population to be attacked by a deadly new strain of E. coli bacteria (0157:H7)'.

Demographics
The relation between the number of people who aren´t of working age and the number of people who are is captured in the dependency ratio.
In Ireland during the sixties, when contraception was illegal, there were ten people who were too old or too young to work for every fourteen people in a position to earn a paycheck.
That meant that the country was spending a large percentage of its resources on caring for the young and the old.
Then Ireland´s dependency ratio hit an all-time low: for every ten dependents, it had twenty-two people of working age. That change coincided precisely with the country´s extraordinary economic surge.
Demographers estimate that declines in dependency ratios are responsible for about a third of the East Asian economic miracle of the postwar era; this is a part of the world that, in the course of twenty-five years, saw its dependency ratio decline thirty-five per cent.
Dependency ratios may also help answer the much-debated question of whether India or China has a brighter economic future. Right now, China is in the midst the "sweet spot".
In the nineteen-sixties, China brought down its birth rate dramatically; those children are now grown up and in the workforce, and there is no similarly sized class of dependents behind them. India, on the other hand, reduced its birth rate much more slowly and has yet to hit the sweet spot. Its best years are ahead.

There are times in which you can have fun at a bargain price
How many times did you give up going to the concert of your favorite singer, or the most dreamed game, just because it was too expensive?
And if there was a place where you can book tickets for many events across the country, at a bargain price?
Since long when I have to book a Hotel, wherever I go, first I look on the Internet in special websites where I am sure to find the best rooms at the best price.
How do they do?
They book a certain amount of rooms at a special rate and then sell them at a very convenient price.
This website works exactly the same.
Are you looking forJersey Boys Tickets?
Or Harlem Globetrotters Tickets?
May be Taylor Swift Tickets, may be Yankee Stadium tickets, even Fenway Park tickets.
And these are just a few of the available ones.
And what if you have no idea for a special night?
It pays off to have a look at the list and the dates, I am sure you will find just the right one for a special night...

John P. Holdren genocidalist beyond Hitler
Hitler´s goal was to exterminate 6 millions people.
This guy, called Angel of death has in mind 6 Billions people.
How?
He expressely writes on his book Ecoscience that a New World Government is needed in order to reduce the world population to at least one billion (out of 7).
". . . it appears that (about) a billion people is the maximum population supportable by the present agricultural and industrial system of the world at U.S. levels of affluence." Ecoscience p.1093.
How?
"Reduce the rate of growth of the population, although not necessarily to zero.
Stabilize the size of the population; that is, achieve a zero rate of growth.
Achieve a negative rate of growth in order to reduce the size of the population.
The alternative is to permit the death rate to increase,for example, dilution of economic progress in less developed countries, and aggravation of environmental and social problems in both developed and less developed countries"
(Ecoscience p.1124)
"An essential feature of any humane program to regulate the size of the human population must be provision of effective means for individuals to control the number and timing of births." p.1126
"Infanticide, which is viewed with horror today by prosperous people in industrialized societies, has probably always been practiced by societies lacking effective contraceptive methods.
It was a rather common practice among the ancient Greeks, and the Chinese and Japanese are known to have used it for centuries, especially in times of famine. In agrarian or warlike societies, female infanticide has often been practiced to provide a greater proportion of men or to consolidate upper classes. Only a century or two ago, infanticide was widely practiced in Europe in an institutionalized, although socially disapproved system sometimes called "baby farming"." p.1127
"Indeed, it has been concluded that compulsory population-control laws, even including laws requiring compulsory abortion, could be sustained under the existing Constitution if the population crisis became sufficiently severe to endanger the society." p.1280
"Individual rights must be balanced against the power of the government to control human reproduction." p. 1281
One fast way could also be using microbiological weapons, spreading infections with bacteria (E. Coli) or viruses (Aviarian flu).
What the future will be can depend on us.
May be it would be much easier to exterminate one only person instead of six billions.
