The Monsanto Tipping Point has been Reached

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).

We've reached the tipping point against Monsanto

Monsanto shares fall: "This is an embarrassment for Monsanto".

Investors drove down the price of Monsanto shares by 4 percent on Friday as South Korea joined Japan in suspending imports of U.S. wheat after an unapproved strain of genetically modified wheat was discovered in a field in eastern Oregon.

The strain of wheat, designed to resist harmful effects from Monsanto’s Roundup weedkiller, was never commercially developed by the St. Louis-based agriculture giant in large part because wheat growers did not want to risk retaliation from their biggest export markets.

Fields used to test new crop varieties are burned and checked for surviving crops. So the mysterious appearance of the Monsanto wheat has raised questions about how the strain traveled there and whether it is lurking in the commercial wheat crop.

As a precaution, South Korea, which last year bought about half of its wheat imports from the United States, said it would halt purchases while it runs tests this weekend on wheat and flour that it has already imported. The European Union is also testing supplies.

Video: CNN Covers The "March Against Monsanto"

A very thorough story on this past weekend's international "March Against Monsanto" by Main Stream Media news outlet CNN.

The newscaster in the beginning introduction flubs a few syllables when he tries to say pesticides and flubs again just after that.  I did have to wonder if he was coached to do that, because he does seem a little nervous.  Pretty sad stuff considering this is coming from a highly-polished news anchor at CNN. 

But despite attempts to swallow a few key words early in the piece, the story recovers nicely and gives an accurate account of what the protest was about.  They insert a newspaper headline about the suicides in India, which is a very tragic and key factor in the discussion against Monsanto.

They interview this guy Moss who was kinda sorta the counterpoint, but who comes off seeming weak.  And ridiculous - what's with the fake Groucho Marx eye brows?

In what looked like a potential media blackout, CNN comes around and does the right thing.  It's a good day for The Cause.  -S.C.-
