Headline August 13th, 2012 / "And Every Little Flower That Blooms!"

"And Every Little Flower That Blooms!"

Undeterred by any consequences, the rising Samurai, have begun publishing a page for the the world's handicapped and special students, They now have a voice! Blessed work, heroes! May all milestones be your destiny! 

The truth is that The Monsanto Company has been, by the wildest of large heartedness, one of America's friendliest corporate citizens. Given Monsanto's current dominance in the field of bioengineering, its scary looking at the company's own DNA. 

The decades of recent past and the future of the company for sure as hell, lies in seeds, but never
ever forget that the seeds of the company lie in chemicals. The unvarnished truth is that Communities around the world are still reaping the environmental consequences of Monsanto's origins. 

Therefore, in majority of the cases where Monsanto sues, or threatens to sue, farmers settle before going to trial. The cost and stress of litigation against a global giant corporation are just too great. And when one 'coop' Pilot Grove would not cave, Monsanto just kept turning on the heat. 

The more the coop resisted, the more legal firepower Monsanto aimed at it. Pilot Grove lawyer, Steven H Schwartz, described Monsanto in a court filing as pursuing a ''scorched earth tactic'' meaning, putting torch to mother earth!! 

So as the tale develops, in late 60s Monsanto extended its reach into a phenomenal number of products, plastics, resins, rubber goods, fuel additives, artificial caffeine, industrial fluids, vinyl siding, dishwater detergent, anti freeze, fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides. 

Its safety glass protects the U.S. Constitution and the Mona Lisa. Its synthetic fibers are the bases of Astroturf. Take a look at this fibre in the Olympic games. But during 70s, the company shifted more and more resources into biotechnology. 

In 81, it created a Molecular biology group for research in plant genetics. The next year, Monsanto's Scientists hit Gold: they became the first to genetically modify a plant cell. Said Ernest Jaworski, director of Monsanto's Biological Sciences Program, ''It will now be possible to introduce virtually any gene into plant cells with the ultimate goal of improving crop productivity!'' 

So over the next few years, Scientists developed one genetically modified after another, --cotton, soybeans, corn, canola. But right from the start, its G.M, seeds were controversial with the public as well as with some farmers and European Consumers. 

What was startling was that that Monsanto had sought to portray G.M. seeds as a panacea, a way to alleviate poverty and feed the hungry world. Robert Shapiro, Monsanto's president during the 90s, once called the G.M. seeds, 'the single most successful introduction of technology in the history of agriculture, including the plow!!'' 

Some World, I tell you! Many wishes to all of you around the globe!

Good night & God bless!
