Noah, this is God speaking.

Just saw another documentary on Monsanto, so I'm feeling a bit apocalyptic again.

Small-holding Indian farmers are being sold GM cotton seed (good for one season) with the lie that production is higher, they don't need pesticides or fertilizer. They do need pesticides (they get attacked by new and old bugs) and fertiliser and they don't produce enough to get farmers out of debt. So, with hundreds of farmers suffering, the suicide rate is going through the roof.

This makes the situation ripe for rich farmers to buy up the land and control the whole production of a country, and this will happen.

Worse yet,
GM material is ruining regular crops.

Worse yet,
THAT company is buying up all competition. If farmers are forced to buy from THEM, then it will become an effective monopoly. THEY will OWN farming. They're just behaving like a corporation, but it's their product which makes their success look apocalyptic.

Worse yet,
In countries where GM is illegal, 'people' are bringing the seeds in, "by the back door", like drug dealers. Hard to trace. THEIR seeds are sold under false pretenses (illegal). Hard to charge anyone. If I understood the documentary, GM stuff is being sold to the EU as animal feed. I thought all of it was illegal?

Worse yet,
the GM crops' GM material is bonding to other wild plants , thereby changing the whole flora of the world, slowly but surely. Worse yet, if normal harvested plants become GM and useless, starvation will increase.



worse yet,
the chemicals in some GM genomes are causing bees to become disoriented and so they can't find home and they die. We can't have agriculture without bees.





I think there will have to be a seed saving bank in every community. The seeds should be checked for GM and guarded by the army.


That's because there may have to be a scorched earth policy on existing crops once the ugly truth becomes evident.

We'll have to start from zero again.

"New" crops.

"No GM".

or, "no life".

Take your pick.

Since their stock is rising, some might say: "Ya, but their stock is doing real good!" Ya, but you might starve to death before you manage to sell them. They may become worthless if the world is starving and prices go through the roof. You'll have to sell stocks to buy a loaf of bread for 50 euros/bucks/pounds.
