JUSTICE FOR CONSUMERS!! JUSTICE FOR WORKERS!! JUSTICE FOR OUR MOTHER EARTH !!
DEMANDS TO MONSANTO:
LABLE ALL GMO FOOD !
STOP COMPLETELY !
STOP POLLUTING THE ENVIRONMENT !
STOP POISING OUR DRINKING WATER !
STOP CHOPPING DOWN RAIN FORESTS !
GET OUT OF OUR GOVERNMENT !!
http://www.organicconsumers.org/articles/article_24800.cfm
The Objective: To Continue bringing local awareness to the corporation Monsanto’s control and involvement with the toxins in our food and water supplies and the ties they have in the government. Also, participating in the Movement to Label the United State’s GMOs starting with the Statewide Demand in California.
We must continue acting locally and thinking globally to bring down this tyrant of the food industry. We are in worldwide solidarity with the Millions Against Monsanto (http://www.MillionsAgainstMonsanto.org) and several other groups, organizations, foundations, and individuals who feel that something must be done to stop the evil practices of the Monsanto Corporation.
“Corporations are Not People and Money Is not free speech”
The Goal: To unite local communities, as consumers, voters and organizers to continue the push to remove Monsanto and other Corrupt Corporations from our government. Along with other campaigns all over the globe to create a world governed for, of, and by the people, not the corporations.
One tactic is to strategize and take action utilizing the power of the Boycott to send a strong message we will not do business with Corrupt Corporations.
There is a LONG List of Monsanto Products to BOYCOTT . We have hosted quite a few FREE events under the Occupy Umbrella urging for monthly and biweekly protests; Workshops, teach-ins, film showings; Canvassing, flyering, training organizers, and recruiting more people to the peaceful fight.
Already hundreds of thousands of farmers and community supporters worldwide expose and actively campaign against Monsanto for the crimes it is committing against the health and biodiversity of our planet.
The Anti-Monsanto Project stands in Solidarity with the Millions Against Monsanto, the occupy movement and food consumers all over the world.

MILLIONS AGAINST MONSANTO:
Why are companies like Monsanto allowed to profit from their control of the food supply while the rest of us have to struggle for affordable, healthy food?
Companies like Monsanto have enormous economic and political power. Their campaign contributions determine the outcome of elections. Their lobbyists write our laws. In the words of an Official Statement of the Occupy Wall St. Movement:
• “They have poisoned the food supply through negligence, and undermined the farming system
through monopolization.”
• “They have profited off of the torture, confinement, and cruel treatment of countless animals, and actively hide these practices.”
• “They have continuously sought to strip employees of the right to negotiate for better pay and safer working conditions.”
• “They have deliberately declined to recall faulty products endangering lives in pursuit of profit.”
• “They have donated large sums of money to politicians, who are responsible for regulating them.”
As workers, consumers and voters, we have very little influence. It’s time to turn this around!
As the Occupy Wall St. call to action put it, the task is “ending the influence money has over our representatives in Washington. It’s time for Democracy Not Corporatocracy, we’re doomed without it.” We support Occupy Wall St. and the Occupy Together movement because: When we get money out of politics, we’ll get Monsanto out of agriculture!
• When corporations can’t buy politicians, stores won’t sell government-subsidized junk food.
• When health matters more than the bottom line, our food won’t be laced with Monsanto’s allergens, toxins and carcinogens.
• When sustainability trumps profits, we’ll replace polluting factory farms with
Carbon-sequestering, green organic farms.
• When justice is more important than stock prices, farm workers and family farmers will all make a good living.

The First Canadian Division when in Germany 1945 said that I.G.Farben the Nazis Chemical Warfare Monopoly must be dismantled, as it was a pseudo science. The U.s. Imperialist Army as Supreme Commander, said no, it is a billion dollar chemical corp. However, to pacify the anger of the peoples and liberation fighters, they name changed the corporation to Basf, Bayer, and Hoekest, and interlocked their directives with the U.S. chemical warfare Corps. of DOW, DUPONT, AND MONSANTO.
These six Corporations from that time to the present have been waging a chemical war against the ecological, organic web-of-life around the globe. Monsanto is a guilty war criminal corporation that supplied much of the Chemical poisons against the plants, animals, and peoples of Indo-China, especially in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia.
When asked about the extent of the war criminal destruction done by U.S. Imperialism in the U.S. Imperialist aggression against Indo-China, the General who liberated Saigon said, the U.S. Aggressors caused five million killed.
The fact is that also over five million people in Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam have been acutely and chronically poisoned, and to this day that gene pool is still harmed from the poisoning. The fact is that Monsanto was one of Chemical Poison Corporations that did major supplying of the illegal WMD-chemical aggression (Rainbow Poisons) throughout Indo-China.
These war crimes have not been fully delt with yet, as the International Criminal Courts have proven to be inadequate in upholding the anti-fascist laws of the world. Such as the Nuremberg Trials (Planning and Doing of Aggressive war is the Supreme International crime), Genva Conventions of war, 1) targetting and killing of civilians is a war crime, 2) torturing and killing of POW's is a war crime, 3) collective punishment is a war crime, such a burning down a whole village to kill on liberation fighter; and the United Nations Charter, which says that the UN was formed to make war just a long distant memory for the comming generations.
The anti-fascist fighters of the Second World War set liberation to be away from 'Militarism' and towards ending aggressive war as any nations foreign policy. The way forward was to be collective agree as foreign policy for mutual benefit as how to settle disputes between nations.
Monsanto is a war criminal corp. It practices a phony pretense of being an agricutural expert, but all the while it extorts the farmers with liens on their property if some of their dominator seeds take over a crop by trucks going by and wind blown seeds end up on a farmers land.
Phony courts that it controls, says it does not matter how the seeds got there, it is still Monsanto property, and there for Canola Farmer Schmeiser in Canada, was fined 143,000 dollars.
Monsanto then tried to take Schmeiser to Court again and for one million Dollars. Schmeiser won only that he did not have to pay one million, but in truth he is still owed the 143,000.
Monsanto is trying to break the peasant-farmer practice of thousands of years of the freedom to grow their own quality seeds, and live up to leaders of the world in the 'Dialectics of Nature'.
Monsanto is guilty of war crimes says the Nuremburg Trials, as well as the Geneva Conventions of war, and the UN Charter. Dismantle Monsanto and give the extorted money back to the peasant-farmers so they can continue to lead the agricultural organic revolution for the good of us all.
Workers of the world, unite!! End pollution wars, not endless war for more and more pollution. You yet have a world to win.
