Terminated

Monsanto (MonSatan?) corporation has quite a checkered past. They have poisoned us with their flagship product, Roundup, and our Vietnam vets are sick from their defoliant, Agent Orange. Monsanto pioneered the use of bovine synthetic hormones, which is now in most of the USA's milk supply, despite evidence that it probably is unhealthy. They are constantly in trouble with the law. Yet they have acquired a majority of the worlds seed companies and supply...the introduction of the Terminator seed is most chilling- its a genetically designed seed that is sterile- once used, the resulting crop's seeds are barren-so farmers have to constantly buy seeds from the company, instead of being able to use their own....Monsanto has just bought the company that first made the Terminator seed (in 1999, they tried to buy just the seed, but was stymied by public pressure) The terminator seed insures that farmers everywhere eventually will be wholly dependent upon Monasanto. This evil corporation intends to control the worlds food supply and must be stopped.

The investigative reporter Greg Palast has uncovered documents revealing the administrations intention concerning the economic rape of Iraq. Long before the war, a plan was drawn up to privatize the entire Iraqi economy, turning over oil and banking assets to a few well placed Westerners. One result of this scheme is that now, under the new constitution, Iraqi farmers are forbidden from using their own seeds- they have to use the terminator seeds exclusively, further enriching a select few foreigners at the expense of native independence.

I think it has become more and more apparent to people that it isn't so much "government" to be feared as it is "corporations" to be feared, and as government and corporations become more and more intertwined, I sometimes wonder what the next step will be in this process.
