If you thought terrorists are our biggest threat, this appears to be much worse!
This documentary looks like the PG&E (Pacific Gas & Electric) case in the US on which the film Erin Brockovich was based, but this threat is GLOBAL! Have you heard of Roundup weed killer? Please read on…
Based on a painstaking investigation, this documentary pieces together the story of Monsanto, a century-old corporation with a controversial past and today’s leader in genetically modified crops. Monsanto claims it wants to solve world hunger and protect the environment, but its quest for market supremacy is to the detriment of global food security and environmental stability.

You can watch the full documentary here: The World According to Monsanto. Thank you to Connie and my team for finding this.
Look at this from Greenpeace’s website:
The big picture is chilling to anyone who mistrusts Monsanto’s record disinterest for environmental safety.
And if you’re not worried, you should be: central control of food supply has been a standard ingredient for social and political control throughout history. By creating a monopoly position, Monsanto can force dangerous experiments like the release of GMOs into the environment on an unwilling public. They can ensure that GMOs will be sold and consumed wherever they say they will.
By claiming global monopoly patent rights throughout the entire food chain, Monsanto seeks to make farmers and food producers, and ultimately consumers, entirely dependent and reliant on one single corporate entity for a basic human need. It’s the same dependence that Russian peasants had on the Soviet Government following the Russian revolution. The same dependence that French peasants had on Feudal kings during the middle ages. But control of a significant proportion of the global food supply by a single corporation would be unprecedented in human history.
It’s time to ensure that doesn’t happen.
It’s time for a global ban of patents on seeds and farm animals.
It’s time to tell Monsanto we’ve had enough of this hogwash.— Brian Thomas Fitzgerald, Monsanto Pig Patent
From watching the documentary, if you are at all concerned about anyone you love’s health and what this company appears to be doing, then please forward this post’s link on to them or search Google for “world according to Monsanto” or “Monsanto GMO” for more information.
Let’s hope Monsanto is not as evil as it appears to be in this documentary, because if it is, we as a species are in deep ….
