Through genetic engineering and by declaring that seed can be a corporate invention, and therefore can be owned by corporations, the door to patents was opened, allowing them to create monopolies, collect royalties from farmers, deny them their right to share and save seed, and rob them and citizens of their rights to seed and food sovereignty. In 1995, a Monsanto representative admitted that in the writing of the TRIPS agreement of the WTO they were the patient, diagnostician and physician all in one. Over the last 2 decades since the TRIPS Agreement of the WTO, corporations have made every attempt to own life, our seeds, and our knowledge through intellectual property rights, using the instrument of patents on seed and life, propelled by greed and limitless power. One of the now many examples is that of Bayer suing the Indian Government to retain its monopoly rights on its hazardous drug Nexavar. These giants have responded by attacking laws and policies of governments that take action in response to people’s movements and call to protect the earth and people’s rights. ( ).Īcross the world people are rising, democratic governments are responding to stop this ecocide and genocide. Monsanto’s war against the planet and people continues today with the Round up Ready GMO/Glyphosate which has shown to be carcinogenic, as well as its BT cotton which has pushed millions of farmers into debt and suicide. As a result still today children are born with birth defects, adults have chronic illnesses and are dying of cancers. 20 million gallons of MOBAY defoliants and herbicides were sprayed over South Vietnam. Monsanto and Bayer had a Joint Venture – MOBAY – which supplied ingredients for Agent Orange in the Vietnam War. Farben and its partners, which included Bayer, BASF and Hoechst (Aventis) guilty of war crimes. Farben, Hitler’s financial core and stalwart chemical conglomerate and supplier of, among other poisons, Zyklon-B, a cyanide based pesticide used in concentration camps during the holocaust which was used as evidence in the Nuremberg trials, finding I.G. They made explosives and lethal poisonous gases using shared technologies and sold them to both sides of the two World Wars. Monsanto and Bayer have a long common history. The Hopi describe this phenomena as Powaqqatsi – “an entity, a way of life, that consumes the life forces of beings in order to further its own life”. Through patents and intellectual property rights (IPRs), they have established monopolies, threatening farmers’ rights to seed, people’s rights to affordable medicine and people’s rights to healthy, nutritious food. They have enlarged their control over our seed, robbing us of our food freedom, our human rights and our democracy. In just 2 decades these war criminals have fabricated ‘free’ trade agreements that are destroying the earth and pushing small farmers, the real producers of food, off the land.
These hallowed corporations of today, that have been tried and tested for crimes against humanity in the post war years, continue to use the same poisons that kill, but under the guise of being saviors of humanity. This in effect means public money being used to strengthen the monopoly of destroyers of life and people’s rights.
Such is the case with the most recent bid by Bayer to buy Monsanto for 62 billion euros facilitated by the European Central Bank.
#Bill gates doomsday vault free#
In just 100 years, the chemicals and technologies of war-based conglomerates, which produced and profited from the chemicals that killed millions of people during the two world wars, continue to kill, wiping out millions of species by spreading poisonous agrichemicals, destroying our ecosystem, poisoning the entire web of life and are taking over every aspect that they can of our lives for financial profit.Ĭorporations like Monsanto, Bayer, Dow, Dupont, Syngenta, all have their roots in warfare and through free trade neoliberal polices and deregulation of commerce, they enlarge their empire with mega buyouts. This beautiful planet that has evolved over 4-5 billion years and sustained humanity for 200,000 years is now poisoned and polluted and its biodiversity is being pirated and plundered at rates that threaten the very existence of our species.
