In a breaking development, the FBI confirms that 1,500 GM Sugar Beet plants were destroyed this month in Oregon, in what they are calling an act of "Economic Sabotage."
When GM pollen blows into a non-GM farmer's fields and irreversibly contaminates his crop with 'biopollution,' who does the law side with? Historically, Monsanto.
Also, it's not called 'economic sabotage' but rather 'copyright
infringement,' and the victim not the aggressor is threatened with
economic ruin.
When Monsanto's unapproved and therefore illegal GM wheat
is found years after open field trials growing freely in an Oregon wheat
field, the entire state crop's export fate is held in limbo,
jeopardizing the present and future living of thousands of farmers and
their dependents, with Monsanto receiving little more than a reprimand,
followed by rapid USDA assurance that despite a lack of approval their GM wheat is "safe."
Given the unfair rules of the game, no wonder some folks in
Oregon, having been treated much like feudal peasants lately, are
taking things quite literally into their own hands.
