The
Monsanto Revolution
The protests against the Monsanto Protection Act
were not covered by the corporately run news media in the United States. This treacherous
act itself has not been discussed by the majority of people and the information
about what it really means to us is being hidden by
those charged to provide this information.
The very fact that the corporate media has tried to
minimize the coverage of the protests, and the fact that they hid the role of
Congress in protecting a company that has the potential to damage our lives is
something that is actually criminal. The fact that most Americans still don't know about the potential effects of GMO seeds to the American people cannot be
defended.
It was the alternative and social media that brought
this matter to the public. The marches and the gathering of concerned Americans
demonstrated the power of this new way of communication. The effectiveness and
coordination in over 250 cities in the United States was absolutely remarkable
and a demonstration of how democracy works.
It
was also remarkable how the commercial media downplayed and censored the
protests of the people . The importance of the information
that the demonstrators were trying to present to the American public and the
effect of what Monsanto's policies will have on the public is of significant
importance.
Even though people demonstrated in almost every city
in the United States, the commercial media still managed to keep the purpose
and the import of the demonstrations quiet, the suppression of that information
was done masterfully.
What
Else are they hiding from the People?
It appears that our government has morphed into
something that would be unrecognizable to those that designed and formed it. In
the period of time during the American Revolution, many people in the
government were indeed rich and powerful, but many were not. Today most
Senators and Congressman are rich and powerful and those that are not will by the time they leave office. The majority of those in Congress are controlled by corporate money and this is what funds their campaigns.
The Monsanto debacle has proven, beyond any shadow
of a doubt that the commercial media is in the hands of the rich and powerful.
Information they don't want known does not escape from the media cloud that is
dispersed to the people. The importance of what Monsanto plans to do, and the
effect it would have on all of the people in the United States proves that even
a subject that affects us so deeply can be hidden from the people.
This
should cause a seismic shift in our understanding of who and what controls the
American people. The importance of The Monsanto Protection Act and the potential
damage to the health and economic welfare of American citizen's cannot be
understated. What Congress has done was not done in the name of the American people;
it was done to shield a corporation and thus was essentially an act of treason .
Again I'm asking the question; what else are they
hiding from us? Whether it is because of corporate interests or because of what
they feel is "national security", these questions should and must be asked and
the government should be compelled to answer.
The simple facts are, the people don't work for the
government in America, the government, under our law, works for the people! When
they passed "The Monsanto Protection Act", they passed a law that literally
protected a corporation from the American people! Again, this is treason!
Treason perpetrated against the American people is a capital offense! This
may sound extreme, but every lawmaker that voted for this bill should be impeached
and charged with treason against the people of the United States. The bill
should be declared treasonous and overturned by The Supreme Court.
Of course, in today's political climate, and with
the perpetrators being the ones that hold power in Congress, this won't happen at
this particular time, but it can and will happen. It must happen! If
the American people want control of the government instead of the government
having control over them, they must take this issue to its logical conclusion.
As has happened many times in the past, it is
happening here and now in the United States of America. The government has
acted against the welfare of its own people for the personal gain of a
corporation. This display of corporate power is contrary to our Declaration of
Independence and against our Constitution.
