As I recently said in my speech at the March Against Monsanto in Austin: The fact that you are here, in all your beautiful diversity... is proof that they cannot divide us! They can only unite us with their insanity!
The Monsanto Tipping Point has been
Reached: We Shall overcome Global Food Injustice

Monsanto is now in full
retreat against a global grassroots rejection of its poisons and lies. The
company is backpedaling on every front now, even admitting defeat in Europe
and now trying to focus its last, desperate efforts on the United States and
Brazil.
But even in the Americas, Monsanto is losing on every front: GMO labeling
legislation is cropping up in over a dozen states, the global March Against
Monsanto demonstrated global grassroots unity against GMOs, and even the
so-called "science" behind the "safety" GMOs is revealed as utter hogwash now
that GMOs have escaped Monsanto's experimental wheat fields and contaminated
commercial wheat crops in America.
Japan has halted U.S. wheat imports and South Korea joined in as well.
Ben & Jerry's ice cream company has announced it is going 100% GMO-free,
and massive boycotts are under way against brands that tried to block the GMO
labeling ballot measure in California (Prop 37).
Jeffrey Smith of www.ResponsibleTechnology.org has always talked about a
"tipping point" being reached on GMOs, after which the flood of consumer
awareness and demand would force food manufacturers and retailers to begin the
process of ditching GMOs. I believe that tipping point has now been reached.
In fact, I believe the March Against Monsanto was the final push over the
fulcrum of the tipping point, and I am ecstatic that so many people all around
the world marched in the streets to protest global food injustice while the
wholly-discredited mainstream media sat back and pretended the march never
even took place!
In one fell sweep, the tipping point against Monsanto was triggered and
the whole world realized the mainstream media has zero credibility. I'll call
that a victory any day!
Next steps: Commands from headquarters?
If you're waiting for "commands from headquarters" to figure out what's
next in the war for food justice and farming justice -- the war against
Monsanto and GMOs -- you don't really understand this movement. The beauty of
everything that's happening today is that there IS no headquarters!
Activists against Monsanto are simply making this up as we go along.
There is no "leader." There is no secret strategy meeting. There are no
talking points. There is no overarching set of milestones being discussed.
There is no one person that makes all this happen.
The anti-GMO movement is all just large numbers of courageous individuals
waking up and doing what needs to be done, whether that's organizing a march,
posting videos online, boycotting food brands that use GMOs, or holding home
viewing parties of DVDs that educate people on the truth about GMOs.
This is the movement's strength. This is why nobody can be intimidated,
sued or shut down by Monsanto. Behind every activist there are a thousand more
carrying the torch for food justice. The anti-GMO grassroots movement
absolutely will not stop until GMOs are banned from the global food supply,
and that bold statement is just as true in Venezuela and Portugal as the
United States. Everywhere that people eat food and grow food, everyone who is
informed supports the idea of outlawing GMOs entirely.
This goal will be achieved. I can see it now with clarity. The grassroots
energy behind this movement is unstoppable. And while everyone in the
grassroots anti-GMO movement may come from slightly different viewpoints on
other social, political and economic issues, they all agree that GMOs have no
place in the food supply, period!
As I recently said in my speech at the March Against Monsanto in
Austin:
The fact that you are here, in all your beautiful diversity... is proof
that they cannot divide us! They can only unite us with their insanity!
If you are part of the effort to stop Monsanto and outlaw GMOs, you are
winning. You are making a measurable, effective difference in the world, and
the positive shockwaves of your efforts will be felt for generations to
come.
Keep up the good work.
We need to follow Governments bill proposal methods. Like agenda 21 when it fails it gets reintroduced again and again. The same with GMO. Keep introducing bills, organize another march this time during the summer when people have some extra time. Most people I talk to about GMO are unaware there is such a thing.
ReplyDeleteWhat I want to know is will every single member of MONSANTO be punished , those that knew what they were really up to...will they be imprisoned? They do not deserve freedom after all they would have happily destroyed all non GMO SEEDS and destroyed the planet, those people do not deserve to be free. and forgive me if I am not spreading love and light everywhere, lets be real about this, if they could have got away with it, they would have!!!
