Le tremblement de terre du 12 janvier 2010 a fait des heureux. La
multinationale Monsanto va « offrir » aux paysans haïtiens un cadeau
empoisonné : 475 tonnes de semences O.G.M., sans compter leurs engrais
et pesticides, qui seront distribués gratuitement par le projet WINNER,
soutenu par l’ambassade américaine. On croit rêver.
1. Les Haïtiens savent-ils que c’est Monsanto qui fabriquait le
défoliant, dit « agent orange », utilisé par les bombardiers américains
pendant la guerre du Vietnam, et qui a empoisonné tant de soldats
américains et de civils vietnamiens ?
2. Les Haïtiens savent-ils que ces semences sont rejetées comme
dangereuses dans beaucoup de pays ? Elles viennent souvent en kit où les
semences sont accompagnées d’un herbicide de Monsanto appelé
« Roundup », qui contient du glyphosate. Dans ma Bretagne natale, ce
produit chimique est dénoncé comme polluant les nappes phréatiques.
Comble d’imposture, Monsanto présente le « Roundup » comme
biodégradable. Ce qui lui vaut un procès intenté par le service de
répression des fraudes de Lyon.
3. Aux U.S.A., une agence fédérale veille sur les questions
d’environnement : l’E.P.A. (Environmental Protection Agency). Or, une
ancienne dirigeante de Monsanto, Linda Fischer, vient d’être nommée
directrice de l’E.P.A. C’est comme si on mettait une chatte à veiller
sur la santé des souris !
4. Monsanto a déjà commencé à distribuer des semences O.G.M. de maïs
dans les régions de Gonaïves, Kenscoff, Pétion-Ville, Cabaret, Arcahaie,
Croix-des-Bouquets et Mirebalais. Bientôt, il n’y aura plus que des
semences Monsanto en Haïti. Adieu l’indépendance agricole ! Au Brésil,
Monsanto vient d’investir 550 millions de dollars pour fabriquer sur
place son dangereux herbicide Roundup, dans le nord-est de l’Etat de
Bahia. Heureusement, ce pays semble résister à la multinationale.
5. Monsanto présente ce « don » aux paysans haïtiens comme une aide
généreuse. Mais, pour avoir le droit de resemer après, il faudra payer
chaque fois des droits à Monsanto. Signalons que le directeur des
opérations en Haïti n’est autre que Jean-Robert Estimé, un ancien
ministre des affaires étrangères de Duvalier. Monsanto + Duvalier : un
beau duo !

Podiab agrikiltè yo pa konn nan ki pongongon yon pral pran là...
Mwen deja fè yon travail sou multinational sa... sa mwen te wè te kite mwen bouch bé...
Ke bondye di yon mo pou nou...

Obsevatè,

Mwen fenk sot mete nouvèl Monsanto ap bay kado anpwazonnen an Ayiti.

Mwen pa t li atik saa ke w mete a, men yon entènot atire atansyon m sou li.

Mwen te deja fè rechèch sou Monsanto tou e pa konprann kijan ayisyen pa objekte a sa e refize kado saa.

Mwen te soulve move zak Monsanto petèt gen 1 an desa sou fowom saa, men gen ayisyen ki pran defans konpayi saa e yo di m ke m engra.
Nou te mèt lan bezwen, men nou pa dwe aksepte fatra ak pwazon ke meriken vle lage lan gòj nou.

Mwen ta renmen plis moun denonse sa konpayi saa ap fè dan le mond e sitou lan tyè mond lan.

Se sa menm. Paske lan koze rekonstriksyon sila, se tankou yon "foire". Tout konpayi, tout endividi san konsyans ak ranje kabann yo pou yo jwenn moso lan gato a. Yo tout gen yon bagay pou vann. Kado sa a se marketing tout bon.

Mwen pa konnen kisa ki te pase sou fowòm nan deja sou diskisyon sa a. Paske mwen p at wè sijè sa a.

Opinyon pa m sou koze a se ke Monsanto, opwen de vi biznis nan nivo mondyal, gen dwa abize sistèm legal lan pou l fè agrikiltè pase nan yon zye zegwi. Men di ke "seed" yo se fatra ak pwazon, mwen pa dakò pati sa a. Manje ke yo modifye jenetikman pa genyen danje jan moun vle fè rès yo konprann nan. Le mond antye ap manje manje ki modifye jenetikman, okontrè san yo mwen pa konnen kijan ke mond lan t ap siviv. Paske menm nan peyi ki pi endistriyalize yo, t ap genyen anpil grangou.

Monsanto: The evil corporation in your refrigerator

Bob Cesca
Feb 4th 2010 at 7:30PM

When we consider the rogue's gallery of devilish, over-sized, greedy and disproportionately powerful corporations, we generally come up with outfits like Microsoft, Bechtel, AIG, Halliburton, Goldman-Sachs, Exxon-Mobil and the United States Senate. Yet somehow, Monsanto, arguably the most devilish, over-sized, greedy and disproportionately powerful corporation in the world has been able to more or less skulk between the raindrops -- only a household name in households where documentaries like Food Inc. are regarded as light Friday evening entertainment. My house, for example. But for the most part, if you were to ask an average American for their list of sinister corporations, Monsanto probably wouldn't make the cut.

It should.

Founded by Missouri pharmacist John Francis Queeny in 1901, Monsanto is literally everywhere. Just about every non-organic food product available to consumers has some sort of connection with Monsanto.

Anyone who can read a label knows that corn, soy and cotton can be found in just about every American food product. Upwards of 90% of all corn, soybeans and cotton are grown from genetically engineered seeds, also known as genetically modified organisms (GMOs).

These genetically enhanced products appear in around 70% of all American processed food products. And Monsanto controls 90% of all genetically engineered seeds. In other words, Monsanto controls -- and owns patents on -- most of the American food supply.

When you consider, as Walletpop originally reported, that one-in-four food labels is inaccurate, that the F.D.A.'s testing is weak at best, then how can we trust one corporation to have so much control over our produce? The answer is, we can't.

Recently, a study by the International Journal of Biological Sciences revealed that Monsanto's Mon 863, Mon 810, and Roundup herbicide-absorbing NK 603 in corn caused kidney and liver damage in laboratory rats. Scientists also discovered damage to the heart, spleen, adrenal glands and even the blood of rats that consumed the mutant corn. A "state of hepatorenal toxicity" the study concluded.

This hasn't slowed down Monsanto's profit machine. In 2008, Monsanto cleared over $2 billion in net profits on $11 billion in revenues. And its 2009 is looking equally as excellent.

Author and food safety advocate Robyn O'Brien told me, "Monsanto is expecting gross margins in Q2 2010 of 62%, its corn and soy price mix to be up 8-10% and its glyphosate revenue to expand to an estimated $1 billion in gross profit by 2012, enabling Monsanto to further drive R&D into seeds and to price those seeds at a premium – further driving price increases on the farm and in the grocery stores."

This, O'Brien says, in the same year when farm income declined by around 34%.

Because Monsanto claims that its GMOs create higher yields and therefore comparatively higher revenues per acre for struggling American farmers, they're certainly a tempting option. On the surface, that is. Monsanto controls its seeds with an iron fist, so even if you happen to own a farm next to another farm upon which Monsanto seeds are used, and if those seeds migrate onto your land, Monsanto can sue you for royalties.

Additionally, if you use seeds from crops grown from Monsanto seeds, a process known as "seed cleaning," you also have to pay royalties to Monsanto or it will sue you. All told, Monsanto has recovered $15 million in royalties by suing farmers, with individual settlements ranging from five figures to millions of dollars each.

Back in 2004, farmer Kem Ralph served eight months in jail and was fined $1.3 million for lying about Monsanto cotton seeds he was hiding in his barn as a favor to a friend. They weren't even his seeds (yeah, that's what they all say!). By way of comparison, the fine in Ralph's home state of Tennessee for, say, cocaine possession, is $2,500.

In keeping with the Orwellian nature of modern marketing, one of the first phrases you see on the front page of the Monsanto website is "we help farmers." Funny. In a cruelly ironical way, that is.

In fairness, the argument in support of Monsanto is generally "it makes more food for lower prices." Of course this is a red herring. Basic economics proves that choice and competition create lower prices. Not monopolies. This applies not only to American grocery stores, but also in terms of feeding developing nations where food is scarcer. Moreover, stronger Monsanto herbicides, compatible with herbicide resistant seeds, are giving rise to mutant Wolverine-ish super weeds that have adapted and are rapidly spreading through the air to farms that don't use Monsanto GMOs, destroying obviously vulnerable crops. Say nothing of the inevitable mutant bugs that will adapt to the pesticides that are implanted into the Monsanto Mon 810 genetic code. And if further studies indicate similar organ damage in humans, the externalized costs to health care systems will begin to seriously out-weigh the benefits of cheaper food.

Ultimately, there are better, healthier ways to make cheaper food.
Until then the best thing we can do is to demand further investigations and buy organic products whenever practical.

And if you can't afford to buy organic, O'Brien recommends, "A great first step, given how pervasive these ingredients are in processed foods that often use these ingredients to extend shelf life, is to reduce your exposure to processed foods and stick with pronounceable ingredients and foods that your grandmother would have served her kids."

Meanwhile, let's endeavor to make Monsanto a household name. But not in a good way.

On January 15, the Obama Justice Department launched an anti-trust investigation against the corporate behemoth over its next generation of genetically modified "Roundup Ready" soybean seeds. The very next day, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear the case Monsanto v. Geertson Seed Farms, which challenges the safety of genetically modified agricultural products -- the centerpiece of the Monsanto empire. If the investigation fails, farmers will have to switch over to the next generation of Roundup Ready seeds in 2014. And the cycle of corporate abuse and monopolization will continue.

Ban m refòmile sa mwen vle di an, paske w gen lè pa sou menm paj ak mwen. Mwen pa p defann Monsanto, mwen senpleman panse ke san teknoloji pou modifye manje jenetikman, mond lan te ka paka nouri tèt li.

Se posib ke modifikasyon jenetik kapab bay pi gwo rekolt e fe plis moun manje.
Mwen konprann ke endyen reyisi fè diri gwosi pi vit e sa pèmèt ke yo gen 2 rekolt olye de youn pa ane.

Si gen etid ki fèt ki kapab pwouve ke GMO (oganis modifye jenetikman) pa afekte lasante moun, pa ta gen pwoblèm, men:

Recently, a study by the International Journal of Biological Sciences revealed that Monsanto's Mon 863, Mon 810, and Roundup herbicide-absorbing NK 603 in corn caused kidney and liver damage in laboratory rats. Scientists also discovered damage to the heart, spleen, adrenal glands and even the blood of rats that consumed the mutant corn. A "state of hepatorenal toxicity" the study concluded.

Nou pakapab di evidans sayo se manti. Wi, Monsanto ap di se manti.

Gouvenman kanadyen gen yon regleman pou mete engredyan lan etiket tout manje. Yo mande tout pou mete si manje yo oganik ou pa. Setadi manje ki gen engre modifye ak pestisid pa oganik.

Monsanto refize mete sou etiket ke manje l yo GMO. Epi li itilize gwo ponyèt pou make pwen

Nou deja wè pwopòsyon moun lan Amerik dinò ki gen kansè, epatit, kolestewòl,
obezite, ipètansyon. Yo depase moun lan tout lot kontinan.
