In "Farming--Why Obama's Government is George Wallace, Monsanto is the KKK, and We Are All Black Children" (Opednews.com),   Linn Cohen Cole writes about Monsanto's "rural cleansing" campaign.   Oh, Monsanto is everywhere! The First Lady should not miss omnipotent beings in the halls of the White House, in Congress, certainly not at the Department of Agriculture and not at the Supreme Court where Justice Clarence Thomas, another former Monsanto employee, loves his Monsanto more than he does our current and future generation of children.    

 

Since Thomas' appointment, writes Cole, the court has ruled in favor of genetically altered organisms and, in addition, has upheld laws protecting Monsanto's "intellectual property rights." As a result, Monsanto's "rural cleansing" campaign is chasing farmers off their lands, from one end of the country to the other, while contaminating nature with its genetically engineered products. This is all good, for Clarence, and apparently the White House and the First Lady, too, flying, to and from, above it all!

 

Cole argues that these rulings are in "violation of our civil rights." Here is a --justice,'" Cole continues, destroying "previously taken for granted and thus undefined civil and human rights around nature." We can generalize about "agriculture" and "commodities" or "profits""but "the profound truth that this is about life or death and our civil rights to live" is left out of the argument.

 

And you would think Thomas, Mr. Obama, and Mrs. Obama should know all about the civil right to live! But here is the 21st Century is Thomas, loyal corporate man, Barrack Obama, organizer of the Monsanto-Washington unification process, and Mrs. Obama saving our children's lives from the ravages of obesity!

 

  Mrs. Obama giving us images of Black obese children and then Brown obese children and then obese white children careful not to give us images of parents working 2 or 3 jobs, if they are working at all, and children, then, who are left to eat potato chips and candy, genetically engineered corn-based products for breakfast, lunch, and sometimes even dinner while watching television commercials featuring genetically fattened chicken. Where are the urban, migrant poor and the working class children to establish a garden like the one Mrs. Obama tenders at the White House? (Ah, "urban cleansing"! They have done that already!).

 

Unintentional, you think? Corporate and government indifference is deadly!

 

Monsanto's food products not only contribute to "obesity" in children (and adults as well), but also contributes to the rise in diabetes, cancer, and heart disease (Cole).

 

Talk about insanity--on a grand level!
