~~Monsanto Now Owns Blackwater~~ | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 989174 United States 10/15/2010 01:13 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | from the above link: Almost simultaneously with the publication of this article in The Nation, the Via Campesina reported the purchase of 500,000 shares of Monsanto, for more than $23 million by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which with this action completed the outing of the mask of “philanthropy.” Another association that is not surprising. It is a marriage between the two most brutal monopolies in the history of industrialism: Bill Gates controls more than 90 percent of the market share of proprietary computing and Monsanto about 90 percent of the global transgenic seed market and most global commercial seed. There does not exist in any other industrial sector monopolies so vast, whose very existence is a negation of the vaunted principle of “market competition” of capitalism. Both Gates and Monsanto are very aggressive in defending their ill-gotten monopolies. |

Another blurb from the aticle: Although Bill Gates might try to say that the Foundation is not linked to his business, all it proves is the opposite: most of their donations end up favoring the commercial investments of the tycoon, not really “donating” anything, but instead of paying taxes to the state coffers, he invests his profits in where it is favorable to him economically, including propaganda from their supposed good intentions. On the contrary, their “donations” finance projects as destructive as geoengineering or replacement of natural community medicines for high-tech patented medicines in the poorest areas of the world. What a coincidence, former Secretary of Health Julio Frenk and Ernesto Zedillo are advisers of the Foundation. |

I'm pretty sure the thread will just sail down off the front page and few people will see this news, but it is significant IMO. Quoting: Windsage4 1127931MonSatan, XE Blackwater, GATES Foundation, what an assemblage of evil... Let me get this right.... So the Giant Alien Embassy in Bag-Fucking-Dad that is guarding the gates of the Abyss waiting for the Abyss to be opened and Abbadon the destroyer to come forth with a horde of 100 million troops.... is Guarded now by Blackwater/Xe and owned by Monsanto and Bill Gatus of BORG? |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1119866Yes he is. But if at the Church they would give us some ale, And a pleasant fire our souls to regale, We'd sing and we'd pray all the live-long day, And never once wish from the Church to stray. |
