Three-Pronged System Enables GMO Takeover of American Agriculture
March 29, 2010

Genetically modified organisms (GMO) or genetically modified crops (GM
Foods) are fast becoming the only type of staple crops grown in the United
States. Over 90% of soybeans, over 70% of corn, and more are all grown from
GM seeds. The number one producer of GM seeds is Monsanto and that company
has been busy ensuring it has a strong say in every aspect of agriculture
and food labeling in America - one large market shares in every type of seed
grown in the U.S. (not just corn and soybeans). AND THESE FOODS KILL!

NaturalNews readers are not new to the evils of GM foods, of course. [1]
From immune system problems to organ failure to severe harm to the
environment, the negative impacts of GMO seeds and crops are
well-documented. If that's the case, then, why is it that they are so common
and why do the GMO giants seem to be ever-growing and encroaching on more
and more farms and foods? HOW DO GM FOODS KILL US?

Through bullying, lobbying, and putting key figures into key positions of
government. That's how.

Of course, this three-part frontal assault wasn't invented by the GM seed
makers. It's been used by Big Pharma, the Military-Industrial Complex,
Banking and Wall Street, and plenty of others before.

To execute the three-pronged attack, Monsanto had to gain control of the
agricultural markets first, so it targeted individual crops with its GM
seeds. It did this by making seeds that were herbicide tolerant (HT ready)
and marketing them alongside it's flagship product, RoundUp. RoundUp is an
herbicide (plant killer) derived from Monsanto's first product, commonly
known as Agent Orange. That history should explain where Monsanto learned
the corporate three-punch takeover game: from the Military-Industrial
Complex where it was born.

Once a relatively large share of the seeds being planted were owned by the
company, Monsanto then moved into politics, pushing to make more and more of
their wares legal and accepted. This required lobbying efforts on a large
scale. In 2009 alone, Monsanto spent over $8.5 million lobbying in
Washington and untold millions in individual states. [2] They also began
intimidating farmers and using strong-arm tactics to continue their market
share growth. Eventually, of course, their political lobbying would not be
enough and more direct control would be needed.

Inside control. That came recently with some key appointments. [3]

Former Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack has been appointed Secretary of Agriculture
while Michael Taylor, a former chief lobbyist for Monsanto, is a new senior
adviser for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Vilsack has long been a supporter of GM crops and factory farming. Taylor is
the Deputy Commissioner for Foods and is in charge of policy for food safety
for the FDA. Both are key positions of power over America's food supply.

It's this three-pronged encirclement of American agriculture and foods that
is giving Monsanto total control over our food supply. Which means no amount
of health reform will make you well if the very basis of your health, food,
is unhealthy.
