Indian farmers commit suicide due to devastation caused by GM crops

Glad it is pinned, I guess, because everyone should know it....


but this has been a subject of numerous threads on glp over the last year.

My first pin : ) Thanks mods.

Maybe it has been mentioned before but like you say everyone should know about it and in order for everyone to know about it, it needs to be repeated and repeated and repeated. It is so important.

Monsanto and their ilk will have a lot to answer for one of these days.

Rev 6:6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and [see] thou hurt not the oil and the wine.

Glad this thread got pinned!!!

monsanto will be smoking turds in hell for sure

I heard somewhere that it is very difficult in the US to get food that has not been GMOd. Can anyone verify this?

old news.

I wish it was customer service agents instead of farmers.

regardless of what you think about the issue


couldn't you have found a less bias source? fucking NATURAL NEWS???

Sad but true.

nobody will verify.
we don't have a law which requires to put in a label if food contains GMO.
so, we have no idea what do we eat, is it GMO or not.
but the fact is that about almost 100% of corn, soy, papaya are GMO here.

Do some digging,

New York Times f.i. 2006!!

GMOs are a very big deal - a very big threat to humanity and the environment. You cannot pin this subject enough, as it is way way important.

Right up there with cell phones killing the bees (and thus our food supply).

Ok, ok ... right up there with a gazillion other suppressed but highly important issues that are making life difficult for us peasants and little people.

AND THE FUCKING ZIONIST SHLLS APPEAR TO DEFEND THEIR ATROCITIES.

MAY YOU BassTURDS BURN IN HELL.

amen.



it is sad that a dollar is worth more than a life.

"While these policies have helped usher in dramatic economic growth, this growth has been unevenly distributed, largely benefiting the nation’s elite, while the majority continues to endure grinding poverty."

"In 2009 alone, the most recent year for which official figures are available, 17,638 farmers committed suicide—that’s one farmer every 30 minutes."

"Statistics compiled by the Indian government reveal that 241,679 farmers in India committed suicide between 1995 and 2009. According to P. Sainath—who has documented the crisis since it first started—the 2010 figures will likely bring this number up to more than 250,000."

Globalization; Monsanto

Comming to a country near you; or You're Next.

Peace

I remember this story from a while back and I believe there was another angle to it. I think I read that there is a cash incentive for these farmers to commit suicide as well. Something about their family would get a cash payout of $1,500 or so to support them.

Maybe they end up so poor from going along with the GMO crops that they see this as the only way to provide for their families. That is very sick. It is like a plan to kill off all the farmers so that people won't have the knowledge to grow good and cheap food any more.

What do they have in India besides their wonderful foods with many different locally grown spices and vegetables, and their wonderful cottons with various colors and designs? They have already proven themselves expert in these areas. Now these areas are being destroyed for them.

The third world countries need to stay that way. The progress of the West just causes misery. Technology makes people greedy, selfish and lazy. Life becomes a boring hell and everyone is against each other.

Third world people are happy and peaceful. They get along with each other and enjoy life.

get alone like tutsi and hutu

Amen.

Wild, i think this was mentioned in dirt the movie.


A good watch about soil and crops.

Thanks for the tip, watching it now

This is never old news as it is happenning most days in india now . I read in their newspapers about how the husband first commits suicide due to crop failure and debt and then his wife commits suicide a year or two later as the only way to escape the debt . They swallow PESTICIDE !!! and die a long agonising death . Usually with other villagers watching helplessly .
Do you folk understand the tragedy of this !

US seeds is as good as USA items, crap.

Technology is destructive only in the hands of people who do not realize that they are one and the same process as the universe.

I Don't get it?

Plants have been genetically modified SINCE ANCIENT TIMES.

Most crop type plants bear little resemblance to the original plants, yet you lunatics constantly rail on about this.

Perhaps the REAL issue is that these Indians are not using modern farming methods on farms that are too small to sustain themselves. Same thing that happened in the US 30 years ago.

Crappy money, crappy politics, crappy seeds, crappy music...

The US is a shithole, and it will very soon surpass African nations.

"'Come, I will show you the punishment of the great prostitute, who sits on many waters. With her the kings of the earth committed adultery and the inhabitants of the earth were intoxicated with the wine of her adulteries...' This title was written on her forehead:

mystery
babylon the great
the mother of prostitutes
and of the abominations of the earth

After this passage in the book of Revelation, John records the many disasters that Mystery Babylon must suffer. She will be punished by God and attacked by the Antichrist. Some of her plagues seem to come from nature but others are undoubtedly super-natural. With the wickedness of Mystery Babylon and the wrathful judgment that she receives in mind, and with all of God's end-times prophecies coming into clearer focus, it is important that this major subject of the book of Revelation is not ignored or misunderstood.
According to my research the identity of Mystery Babylon, the world power which precedes the kingdom of the Antichrist, is painfully obvious. With a simple presentation using scripture and logic, I hope that this article will make the case as clear as it can be made.



Which scriptures?
The scriptures that mention Mystery Babylon by name are Revelation 17 and 18. However, many do not realize that there is much more prophetic material written about the fall of Babylon in the Old Testament. These scriptures are Isaiah 13 and 14 and Jeremiah 50 and 51. It is true that there is much Old Testament material that was directed at Babylon and has already been fulfilled, however, much of the above scriptures remain unfulfilled and, based on the descriptions given, could not have been meant for ancient Babylon. As a Christian scholar I believe that all of biblical prophecy is God-given and one hundred percent correct. The simple rule I go by is that if a prophecy has not been fulfilled then that doesn't mean it is false, it just means that we need to wait longer. I believe we can safely apply the Old Testament prophecies that were directed at Babylon and remain unfulfilled to the Babylon of the end-times, that is, "Mystery Babylon," and these prophecies combine to give us a very clear description of that great power.


Descriptions

Mystery Babylon is the lone Global Superpower-
Revelation 17:1, "...the great prostitute, who sits on many waters."
