<![CDATA[Organic Legion all News Posts]]> http://www.organiclegion.org en Thu, 2 Feb 2012 22:58:57 GMTOrganic Legion all News Postshttp://www.organiclegion.org<![CDATA[There Are Principles that Should Never Be Compromised.]]> "In the wake of a 12-year battle to keep Monsanto's Genetically Engineered (GE) crops from contaminating the nation's 25,000 organic farms and ranches, America's organic consumers and producers are facing betrayal.

A self-appointed cabal of the Organic Elite, spearheaded by Whole Foods Market, Organic Valley, and Stonyfield Farm, has decided it's time to surrender to Monsanto.

Top executives from these companies have publicly admitted that they no longer oppose the mass commercialization of GE crops, such as Monsanto's controversial Roundup Ready alfalfa, and are prepared to sit down and cut a deal for "coexistence" with Monsanto and USDA biotech cheerleader Tom Vilsack. "

One more excerpt:
"Beyond the regulatory euphemism of "conditional deregulation," this means that WFM and their colleagues are willing to go along with the massive planting of a chemical and energy-intensive GE perennial crop, alfalfa; guaranteed to spread its mutant genes and seeds across the nation; guaranteed to contaminate the alfalfa fed to organic animals; guaranteed to lead to massive poisoning of farm workers and destruction of the essential soil food web by the toxic herbicide, Roundup; and guaranteed to produce Roundup-resistant superweeds that will require even more deadly herbicides such as 2,4 D to be sprayed on millions of acres of alfalfa across the U.S."
From OCA

This was Stonyfield's response; and this was the nongmoproject.org response.

They make a point when it comes to standing together to win the fight but a compromise like this one could give more power to these mega corporations than they already have. It could lead to irreversibility; an irreversibility referred to environmental damage rather than to a political status. Some principles should never be compromised!

I do not favor a coexistence with Monsanto and GMO technology in any way. 
There cannot be such a thing. It's an oxymoron.

I am sure more details will be provided about this particular compromise, in the meantime we must not give up.
One thing will always be true: Unity is power; keep up the fight and add your voice here to bring down Monsanto and stop the GMO's threat to the human race once and for all.

70% percent or more of our food contains genetically engineered food brought by the bio-tech giant: Monsanto.

GMO is endangering people's health and our environment at an alarming rate.
Cross-contamination is irreversible and good, organic crops are being jeopardized.
These seeds are incredibly expensive compared to the traditional ones and have been genetically modified to produce their own pesticide, to survive the spraying of the: "Roundup", a potent herbicide and to self terminate.

This has lead our farmers to buy new GMO seeds each year and depend on Monsanto. As a result of this ruthless drive to use India as a testing ground for genetically modified crops, 125,000 farmers took their own lives. 
These people were driven to debt, to economic distress, homeless and landless. 


GMO has and is failing catastrophically.
This company is persecuting, bullying and bringing farms to bankruptcy.
GMO was never adequately tested for safety, actually more and more research shows its dangers to the human/animal health, polluting our crops and our water.

Monsanto did use false advertising; Monsanto poisons the third world and privatizes water. Its employees have passed through the so-called revolving door many times, they rotated between this industry and the public agencies: 
Clarence Thomas, Gwendolyn S. King, Linda Fisher, Jim Travis, Linda Avery Strachanand, Toby Moffet , Marcia Hale, DonaldBandle, George H. Poste, Michael Kantor and Michael Taylor all bending rules, finding loopholes to assure this company profits. 
This technology is only exacerbating hunger, poverty, irreversible contamination and climate change in our world.
 
Bring down Monsanto's monopoly on our food and a centralized agriculture. 
Bring down Monsanto's genetically engineered seeds.
Bring down the use of harmful pesticides, herbicides and chemicals alike.
Hold this company accountable for its damages to the world.
Organic agriculture, permaculture and biodiversity are the only answer to sustainability, to the preservation of our environment and our health.

We want you, as our government, as a body of representation of the people of the United States to invest billions subsidizing organic, environmental agriculture.
Bring down Monsanto's poisoning, companies alike and the agrochemical industry once and for all as it is one of the greatest threats to the whole human race.
Take action now:
Care2.com
and join this people's movement to bring environmental, social, political JUSTICE to America and to the World.
 
Thank you.
