“Monsanto,” one of the most powerful multi-national corporations in the world, and arguably a major player in The New World Order conspiracy aimed at controlling millions via the food they eat, probably needs no introduction.
The Powers That Be (TPTB, a non-conspiracy acronym) has been trying to get control of our food since 1970. [1]
Any idea who is stopping them? Answer: You
You and I have been doing a great job for years, but Houston, we have a problem.
Today, 11/17/2010: the greatest threat to our food sovereignty in history, the Food Safety Modernization Act of 2010 (S.510), is on the floor of the U.S. Senate, and the food activists are sitting on the side lines ignoring the pleas for help.
Monsanto uses overt and covert strategies to accomplish their goals. They don’t leave important matters like “food” to chance. Monsanto counted on our apathy from the beginning.
To understand this abnormal behavior, we have to return to the scene of the 2009 crime, when the father of S.510 was introduced into the Congress, HR.875. [2]
The activists were out in force trying to stop HR.875, the bill That Will Kill All Farms and Eat Your Babies.
The problem was that the opposition to HR.875 wasn’t telling the truth about the bill.
The Organic Consumers Association (OCA) tried to counter the disinformation from the opposition.
OCA assured organic advocates that HR.875, the Food Safety and Modernization Act, is only “trying to improve the safety of food products derived from large industrial processing facilities and does not intend to trample organic farmers, backyard gardeners or consumers of fresh local foods.”
But the onslaught from the “controlled” opposition was relentless and continued to spread lies, half-lies and half-truths about HR.875. [3]
Spreading misinformation, misleading or outright false information is not the way to defeat “food safety” legislation. When you make that misinformed, but well-intentioned, call to your Congressman, you are doing exactly what Monsanto wants—coming across as an ill-informed and hysterical extremist.
The Cornucopia Institute and OCA tried to set the record straight with the April 3 press release, Family Farmers Fear Being Run over by Food Safety Juggernaut and sent out a mass e-mail exposing the role of the HR.875 disinformation agents:
Subject: RETRACTION: URGENT! Monsanto Bill to Ban Organic Food:
“Monsanto, or one of their proxy groups, is actually feeding libertarian groups disinformation on this bill. [3]
Unfortunately OCA was too late. Organic food activists were burned out from the emails faxes and phone calls complaining about HR.875 killing their gardens and eating their babies.
No wonder no one is taking S.510 seriously.
In 2009, you got an email that said:
BEWARE THE FOOD POLICE! HR.875/S.425
It Would Nationalize Farming- Destroy Organics- Even Attack Your Private Garden!
In 2010 the emails say:
Really BEWARE of THE FOOD POLICE! S.510
It Would Nationalize Farming- Destroy Organics- Even Attack Your Private Garden!
We were conned by Monsanto last year with a sophisticated disinformation campaign.
But it’s not too late, especially now that the Senate voted for cloture; click here to oppose S.510 Food Safety and S.3767 FDA Criminal Enforcement legislation. [4]
And don’t forget to take up your hoes and join the 43 million urban gardeners at www.pathtofreedom.com who are forming "local living sustainable communities," like City Repair in Portland.
