It's a bit lengthy, but opens up some very important background issues concerning where her true loyalties lie.

[This letter was written by a woman who has clearly done her homework, and confirms that no sane human being in good conscience can cast a vote for Hillary Clinton--CB]

Dear Hillary,


By polling logic, I should be your supporter - Democrat, older woman,

white, liberal. I was even in a dorm with you in college. I have

pulled for you for years. But something this past summer

fundamentally changed my responsibility to my children and

grandchildren. In the time I have left in my life to protect them and

others, I need to speak out.


I saw a News Hour piece on Maharastra, India, about farmers

committing suicide. Monsanto, a US agricultural giant, hired

Bollywood actors for ads telling illiterate farmers they could get

rich (by their standards) from big yields with Monsanto's Bt

(genetically engineered) cotton seeds. The expensive seeds needed

expensive fertilizer and pesticides (Monsanto, again) and irrigation.

There is no irrigation there. Crops failed. Farmers had larger debt

than they'd ever experienced


And farmers couldn't collect seeds from their own fields to try again

(true since time immemorial). Monsanto "patents" their DNA-altered

seeds as "intellectual property." They have a $10 million budget and

a staff of 75 devoted solely to prosecuting farmers.

http://www.grist.org/comments/food/2008/01/17./). Since the late

1990s (about when industrial agriculture took hold in India),166,000

Indian farmers have committed suicide and 8 million have left the

land.


Farmers in Europe, Asia, Africa, Indonesia,South America, Central

America and here, have protested Monsanto and genetic engineering for

years.


What does this have to do with you?


You have connections to Monsanto through the Rose Law Firm where you

worked and through Bill who hired Monsanto people for central food-

related roles. Your Orwellian-named "Rural Americans for Hillary" was

planned withTroutman Sanders, Monsanto's lobbyists.


Genetic engineering and industrialized food and animal production all

come together at the Rose Law Firm, which represents the world's

largest GE corporation (Monsanto), GE's most controversial project

(DP&L's - now Monsanto's - terminator genes), the world's largest

meat producer (Tyson), the world's largest retailer and a dominant

food retailer (Walmart).


The inbred-ness of Rose's legal representation of corporations which

own controlling interests in other corporations there and of

corporate boards sharing members who are also shareholders of each

other's corporations there, is so thorough that it is hard to

capture. Jon Jacoby, senior executive of the Stephens Group - one of

the largest institutional shareholders of Tyson Foods, Walmart, DP&L -

is also Chairman of the Board of DP&L and arranged the Wal-Mart

deal. Jackson Stephens' Stephens Group staked Sam Walton and financed

Tyson Foods. Monsanto bought DP&L. All represented at Rose.


You didn't just work there, you made friends. That shows in the flow

of favors then and since. You were invited onto Walmart's board, you

were helped by a Tyson executive to make commodity trades (3 days

before Bill became governor), netting you $100,000, Jackson Stephens

strongly backed Bill for Governor, and then for President (donating

$100,000).

Quote:

"..Since the late 1990s ....166,000 Indian farmers have committed suicide.."


Strange how that small matter seems to have been overlooked by the media....

I'd say it was total BS and the woman is a shill for the GOP despite her claims to be a Dem.

I'm not voting for Hillary.
But, the real issue with Monsato is that they own patents on their GM crops. The issue isn't GM crops. GM crops could actually end hunger in third world nations if used properly.

Anybody on Monsanto's payroll is an evil bastard who shouldn't be allowed to run a sewage plant.

And GM crops are a complete disaster, they actually increase starvation in third world nations and could potentially cause catastrophic crop failures around the world in the future, all so a bunch of money hungry corporate monsters can make lots of money. Don't believe their propaganda, there is nothing good a GM crops.

I am in agreement with you concerning the evil corporate bastards. They shouldn't be able to use intellectual property laws to hold farmers hostage as they do.
But GM crops are not a complete disaster. There are modified version of food crops which can grow in arid conditions for instance. But the stigma around them is so intense that many third world countries with starving populations won't even consider trying them.
My point is, if used properly this technology could really benefit humanity. I don't think GM crops are the problem, the people controlling the technology are the problem.

GM crops have been a disaster, mass crop failures, cross contamination into non-GM fields, insertion of unknown and potentially fatal allergens into food supplies, insertion of toxic pesticides and drugs grown in crops into the food supply, etc. And we simply do not know what the long term effects of these things will be on human, animal, and plant health across the globe, once they are out in the wild there is no stopping them. Some people think the recent collapse of bee colonies is due to something in GM crops as well. It's playing God, and we aren't good at it, did you know the ability to genetically modify crops is done so with E-Coli?

And we will not be able to change the fact that mammoth satanic corporations like Monsanto own this technology and have bought up seed stocks around the globe and have replaced wild varieties with their Franken-seeds. These companies have brought some of the worst toxins ever known to man into our world, they operate like the mob, with full power of governments and their militaries behind them, to trust them with our food is pure insanity. Every bit of positive news about GM crops has been nothing but paid propaganda by the bio-tech cartels.

I don't want vaccinations or Viagra in my french fries, these corporations should have been shut down and broken up years ago, before they were allowed to play with our lives..

This is a great documentary abot the subject.

Here are a couple articles, from a scientific publication, which illustrate there are potential benefits despite your claims:
http://environment.newscientist.com/channel/earth/mg19426015.100-weedfriendly-gm-crops-can-help-the-environment.html
http://www.newscientist.com/channel/opinion/mg19325942.900-editorial-human-genes-fine-in-medicinal-crops.html
I am not saying you are wrong. I am simply saying that the issue is not as simple as you claim it is.
The corporate problems, and potential environmental issues do exist. Likewise, there are serious benefits that may result from this technology.
