Breaking: Monsanto Found Guilty of Chemical Poisoning in France!

In a major victory for public health and what will hopefully lead to other nations taking action, a French court decided today that GMO crops monster Monsanto is guilty of chemically poisoning a French farmer. The grain grower, Paul Francois, says he developed neurological problems such as memory loss and headaches after being exposed to Monsanto’s Lasso weedkiller back in 2004. The monumental case paves the way for legal action against Monsanto’s Roundup and other harmful herbicides and pesticides made by other manufacturers.

In a ruling given by a court in Lyon (southeast France), Francois says that Monsanto failed to provide proper warnings on the product label. The court ordered an expert opinion to determine the sum of the damages, and to verify the link between Lasso and the reported illnesses. The case is extremely important, as previous legal action taken against Monsanto by farmers has failed due to the challenge of properly linking pesticide exposure with the experienced side effects.

Anti-GMO video (lots of Monsanto references)

FYI: Very well done online video on the advent of GMO in North America. Relevance to this site is the exposing of US government subsidies that cause havoc to the food chain as you'll see in the vid. I have no affiliation with the producer - just liked it. Run-time of 1:30.

ugh thank god

monsanto is the worst

Neverquit never quits sending us into enemy territory.

Why don't you just come out and profess your love for Herman Cain already and desire to convert us?

Because... a) you obviously spend a lot of time on that forum to be sending us all these links and b) I see no other reason why you'd consistently have us unnecessarily go through a Cain forum before accessing the original article.

Your actions are very deceptive and so it's a negative vote from me.

Unless Ron Paul! -Lorax

I have never supported Herman

I have never supported Herman Cain, I am not afraid to reach out to other people that support another candidate. Yes I spend a lot of time on other forums, I try to change minds of people with reason and facts. If you think spending most of your time here preaching to the choir is going to attract new voters that we need, you're wrong.

It is actually attitudes like yours that turn supporters of other candidates OFF. What does Ron Paul teach us? We can not force our good will on anyone, we can only set good examples and hope people wish to emulate us : Ron Paul

What else does Ron Paul teach us? We shouldn't goto war with other people so carelessly, we should talk to people and reason with them and trade with them.

I would say my actions are very much in line with Ron Paul and what he teaches, how about yourself before you look at my actions?

You're dodging

1. Straw man - "If you think spending most of your time here preaching to the choir is going to attract new voters that we need, you're wrong." Nope, that's not my position.

2. More diversion - "We shouldn't goto war with other people so carelessly, we should talk to people and reason with them and trade with them." Uh....OK! I think we both agree there but when did RP's foreign policy become part of this discussion?

3. False argument - How does linking to a Pro-Cain site from here, a Pro-Ron Paul site "reach out to other people that support another candidate"? That is, assuming by "other people" you mean non-Paul supporters and thus your intent is to bring Cain supporters over to our way of thinking, not the other way around. If so wouldn't it be more logical then to post DailyPaul links on the Cain site?

4. Red Herring - "my actions are very much in line with Ron Paul". I don't recall ever seeing RonPaul2012.com or CampaignForLiberty.org use one of their competitors website's as an intermediary to an article published by a 3rd party.

5. Unanswered/Avoidance - Why do you consistently force DP users to visit a Herman Cain website as an intermediary stop to the original article!!!??? a) It adds an extra step, b) It's completely unnecessary and c) It promotes the Cain site by boosting its search engine rankings. THESE ARE FACTS - NOT OPINIONS!!!

Can you argue this without continuing to build false arguments that divert, or will you hide behind a down-arrow?

Unless Ron Paul! -Lorax

So "neverquit" is a Cain supporter

I am confident that soldiers of truth; RP supporters can easily forage through enemy terrain for morsels of victory without being effected.

I absolutely agree... but that's not the issue I'm driving at.

Neverquit's continuous actions to use a Cain site as an intermediary to 3rd party articles are completely unnecessary. Please see my reply for a more complete analysis.

I like Round Up. Keeps my trashy neighbors yard under control....just saying... I like the streamer setting. It allows me to get the job done without entering his property. :)

In Canada

The canola plant (word derived from “Canada oil”) is subsidized by the federal government. Just about all canola grown in Canada is “Round-up Ready”… meaning it's been genetically modified so they can dump massive amounts of Round Up herbicide and kill everything that’s green in the field except the canola plant.

Because the crop is subsidized, canola oil is the cheapest oil on the market and because it’s cheap it is probably the most widely used, and of course, mostly by those in the middle class (many restaurants) and lower income brackets… the target population for consumption of this poison.. If the crop was not subsidized it would have to be sold at market value and then perhaps only available to the rich… But of course, they wouldn’t want the rich exposed to all the carcinogens and substances that cause infertility now would they.

The governments are pure evil.

Well

The rich wouldn't ingest it.

It simply wouldn't be sold at all.

Governments do a lot of damage to people, the world, markets, prosperity, etc. with all their zany harebrained schemes.

Plain and simple.

Yep. Canola oil is pure poison.

Canola is a genetically engineered plant (GMO) developed in Canada from the Rapeseed Plant, which is part of the mustard family of plants.

According to Agri-Alternatives, The Online Innovation, and Technology Magazine for Farmers, "By nature, these rapeseed oils, which have long been used to produce oils for industrial purposes, are... toxic to humans and other animals". (This, by the way, is one of the websites singing the praises of the new canola industry.)

Rapeseed oil is poisonous to living things and is an excellent insect repellent.

Very true

I voted your comment up but someone who likes to eat rapeseed oil/canola oil voted it down.

They spike that stuff into almost everything. I picked up a loaf of "organic" bread just to read the ingredients. All the ingredients were listed as organic except for the added canola oil. If canola oil is not listed as organic then it's almost certainly to be GMO.

WHY?: GM foods not served in Monsanto cafeteria

http://crisisboom.com/2011/08/22/gm-foods-not-served-in-mons...
GM foods not served in Monsanto cafeteria
August 22, 2011

The fight to ban genetically modified foods has won more converts — some employees of Monsanto the company that is doing the most to promote GM products.

The Independent newspaper reports that there is a notice in the cafeteria of the Monsanto pharmaceutical factory is High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, advising customers “as far as practicable, GM soya and maize (has been removed) from all food products served in our restaurant. We have taken the steps to ensure that you, the customer, can feel confident in the food we serve.”

The notice was posted by the Sutcliffe Catering Group.

Monsanto confirms the authenticity of the notice, but company spokesman Tony Coombes says the only reason for the GM-free foods is because the company “believes in choice.” Coombes says in other Monsanto locations employees are happy to eat GM foods because they are “sprayed with fewer chemicals.”

Adrian Bebb with Friends of the Earth says the notice in the Buckinghamshire plant is hard to misinterpret. “The public has made its concerns about GM ingredients very clear – now it appears that even Monsanto’s own catering firm has no confidence in this new technology.”

The Monsanto employees won't eat their own 'products'...

...That just about says it all.

Kinda like Ford employees driving Japanese cars because they're better made and more reliable...

Back in '95 Bovine growth hormone and labeling of milk

containing it was an issue here in Ontario. Monsanto fought tooth and nail for an exemption regarding labeling. They didn't feel consumers should need to choose what they put into their bodies.

As I said then....I'm no luddite but...

Of course my municipal government doesn't believe that I should have a choice about sodium flouride. Funny they can say I can't smoke pot but they can poison me. Hmmmm.

Thanx,

You can't get clean in a dirty bathtub.

My Round-Up Story:

'Bout 10 years ago my wife purchased some Round-Up to have me spray the weeds in the driveway. Being the wise man that I am, I thought...."hmm my buddy used to work in Houston at Monsanto and related what criminally negligent polluters they were. I better check the label for any warnings about its use."

The label was triangular and I read it and there were no warnings, just instructions on use: Point at weeds, spray from a distance of 10" or so (I paraphrase). So I proceed, on a kinda windy day to spray away. Sometimes the spray blows back on me but I'm not worried because I read the instructions. "Ben" our cat walks by, gets some spray on him a bit but I'm not too concerened because I read the instructions.

I had to complete the job the next day and once again decided to have a look at the instructions and what do I notice??!!. In the bottom right hand corner, in small fine print: "Peel back". Guess where I found the dire warnings telling me that if I use their product I just may die?(Again, I paraphrase). I was dumbstruck. I said to myself (self) you were careless not reading every square millimeter of that top label!!

I had to wonder though; what kind of criminal enterprise would put the danger warnings on the INSIDE of the label? Oh ya...Monsanto would.

Anyway, I feel fine today but the cat died a couple of months after the incident. Kidney failure.

It's ok though, that great big litter box in the sky is Monsanto-free.

Thanx,

Jason

And look at what's advertised on this page

lower right...

I had a little peel back sticky thing on my deodorant

"Keep out of reach of children. If swallowed, get medical help immediately or contact a Poison Control Center." "Aluminum Chlorohydrate" is on the FRONT LABEL - not hidden at all... I'd just quit paying attn for awhile.

Re the Roundup, NEVER spray it on a windy day - or it'll get plants at far distances...

And remember, all of it WILL eventually end up in our water supply.

this is good . . .

for some of *us* this is too little too late, but this is very good--

Monsanto is an evil company.

it's hard to be awake; it's easier to dream--

For those wondering...

The Herman Cain Forum administrator professed his full support of Ron Paul on the day Cain dropped out. He has devoted his entire site to promoting RP now.

http://www.hermancainforums.com/index.php/topic,1824.0.html

Bypass the Cain forum and go directly to article:

Here is the direct link to go around Herman Cain Forums. Not sure why you posted through HErman Cain when you could post the link directly:

http://naturalsociety.com/breaking-monsanto-found-guilty-of-...

Probably because the Cain

Probably because the Cain forums endorsed Ron Paul and now support him, We will never win an election if we are going to isolate supporters that were supporting a candidate other then Ron Paul but now have changed their minds and actually support Ron Paul currently.

That is a big problem around here, if you weren't for Ron Paul always you are a piece of crap and we don't care what you say or what you think and these people get treated like garbage and sometimes even worse even though they now support Ron Paul.

News flash, 20% is not going to win this election, we actually have to reach out to people who supported other candidates at one time.

Perhaps a better statement from you should have been. WOW, Herman Cain Forums is posting information that we agree with, maybe we should take a look at what former Cain supporters are saying? We should be supporting other groups that now support Ron Paul instead of calling them names and isolating them with this us vs them attitude.

Cain Forums?

Forums are 1's and 0's in a computer. They can't endorse anybody. Secondly, the forums were taken over not converted. Let's be honest.

NOTE: I am not advocating violence in any way. The content of the post is for intellectual, theoretical, and philosophical discussion. FEDS, please don't come to my house.

How about not implying he's a liar?

"Constitution" over on the cain forums is the operator of those forums, and he converted to Paul when Cain dropped out. The forums weren't "taken over", he rededicated his forums to support Paul, even removed a bunch of the old Cain stuff IIRC, and kindly invited Paul supporters there. Hopefully most of them have been a bit less rude than yourself.

"Neverquit" (aka Constitution?) has posted/linked some pretty good stuff here. If he wants to post it first in his own forums and then link that, I don't see why that should be an issue. Some other people also post stuff to their own blog and then link their blog in their posts here.

(BTW, I've been all Paul for many years, so don't think this is somehow "cain sympathizing" or something.)

whats even more amazing?

it came from the herman cain forums?

....Herman Cain forums? Really?

Must have been a Ron Paul supporter in there. The facts... they aren't factual.

if the facts

were not correct or the facts were irrelevant, then it was most likely a romney fan.
