How the Mainstream media ignores millions of people who marched against Monsanto and list of politicians who are on Monsanto’s payroll


On May 25th, two million people in more than 50 different countries marched against the giant biotech company Monsanto. The founder and organizer of “March against Monsanto” Tami Canal created a facebook page on February 28th encouraging everyone to join the march against Monsanto.

According to The Guardian, after Tami Canal created the facebook page, other bloggers and activists also got together to get their message across the globe against Monsanto and genetically modified organisms and the social media was credited for being a vehicle for furthering opportunities for activism.

Mainstream media ignores millions of people who marched against

Despite the large size of the gathering, the protestors from different walks of life marched peacefully against the giant biotech Monsanto and GMO. The protestors in more than 436 cities wanted to draw attention to GMO issues and the dangers posed by genetically modified foods and seeds to our health and food supply.

In the last few years, many independent scientific community members, experts and health activists have warned the public about the growing issues and complications about genetically modified organisms.

march-againt-Monsanto-media However not only that the giant biotech and agribusinesses have ignored the public demands, they have even created fake documents on how GMOs are safe and have attacked scientific community members and health activists for being outspoken or even questioning the issues related with genetically modified foods.

However, as usual, the mainstream media fails to do its job to even question the safety of GMOs while other independent news resources and social media have raised awareness by focusing on the issues of GMOs in our food supply. 

And once again the mainstream media fails miserably to report millions of people who marched peacefully against Monsanto and demanded their basic right to know what’s inside their food. They instead covered up their headlines with cliché stories and didn’t even mention millions against Monsanto and GMOs since corporations like DuPont and Monsanto pay for their advertising.

But anyone who has ever worked in corporate America knows that most people in workplaces are afraid of losing their jobs. The same fear also exists in every newsroom in America; fear of losing your job and being labeled as unpatriotic, un-American or even the enemy of the state.

Here are the words of Steven Colbert in 2006 at the White House Correspondent Dinner about journalists who preferred to stay silent about events that matter including millions of people who marched against Monsanto:

“But, listen, let's review the rules. Here's how it works. The President makes decisions. He's the decider. The press secretary announces those decisions, and you people of the press type those decisions down. Make, announce, type. Just put 'em through a spell check and go home. Get to know your family again. Make love to your wife. Write that novel you got kicking around in your head. You know, the one about the intrepid Washington reporter with the courage to stand up to the administration? You know, fiction!

The 71 sellout House of representative who betrayed people and sold their soul to corporate tyranny

Senators-that-voted-against-GMO-labeling

Most people know that the House of Representative is a true representative of Monsanto, DuPont and their buddies and not the America public. That may sound cynical until one remembers that the House of Representatives recently had an opportunity to vote on a farm bill that will mandate GMO labeling laws. Instead, all 71 US senators (from both Republican and Democratic parties) voted against GMO labeling bill, the night before the good citizens of the world were getting ready to march against Monsanto.

These so called elected officials apparently don’t believe that the states have the right to mandate GMO labeling. Also, according to nationofchange.org, “over $260,000 was openly pumped into the House, and $122,000 was pumped into the Senate from Monsanto. And again, this is openly. I’m speculating, but I would imagine the real number to easily be in the millions. Can you imagine how much they must pay these politicians to shoot down GMO labeling bills that 90 plus percent of the entire country wants?”

According to nationofchange.org, here are the lists of politicians paid by Monsanto to say no to GMO labeling bill: (http://www.nationofchange.org/extensive-list-politicians-paid-monsanto-1369754283)

Since Debbie is such a smart and delightful senator, we decided to give Debbie and the rest of senators who voted againt GMO labeling the trophy of head up his A$$].

P.S. The little ones have more courage to stand in the rain and demand GMO labeling while the so called useless politicians are busy selling their souls to the devil.

Stabenow,-Debbie-GMO-labeling

Many activists and scientific community members are disgusted by the passive mentality of Washington regarding genetically modified organisms

During the 2008 Presidential election, Obama promised to label GMOs and lead America towards a healthier and more nutritious food system. However the policies of the Obama administration is far away from the promises he made.

Recently Obama passed Monsanto’s Protection Act which in the last minutes was quickly added as a biotech rider inside the Agricultural Appropriations Bill for 2013 by the US House of Representative.

The biotech rider also known as “Farmer Assurance Prevision” will give Monsanto the power to even more recklessly plant new GMO crops regardless of any liability towards the Federal courts or the consumer’s health.
