Monsanto, the Beast

I have been following any news about Monsanto ever since my good friend worked for a women's law center in Washington, DC and the case she was working on involved Monsanto and small farmers. Because the wind had blown some genetically modified seeds into their nearby fields, small farmers were being sued by trillionaires corporation, Monsanto.
This morning my twitter feed popped up:
Monsanto trying to take over world seed supply, nation by nation
Reading this article reminded me of President Obama appointments of former official Monsanto Michael Taylor as Food Safety Czar and ‘biotech governor of the year’ Tom Vilsack as Secretary of Agriculture. So I googled Monsanto and found this outrageous information. I'm probably the last person to read this story but I found it at thepeoplesvoice.org's covering Environmental,political and social justice issues.
Mark of the Beast: Obama’s latest Monsanto pick, Elena Kagan

In December 2009, in her capacity as Solicitor General, Kagan intervened in the first case on which SCOTUS will rule involving genetically modified crops, Monsanto v Geertson Seed. She defended Monsanto’s fight to contaminate the environment with its GM alfalfa, not the American people’s right to safe feed and a protected environment.

The lower court ruled that “contamination of organic and conventional alfalfa crops with the genetically engineered gene has occurred and defendants acknowledge as much. Such contamination is irreparable environmental harm.”

That other fields, not those of Geertson Seed, et al., had been contaminated does not bother Kagan. “The district court failed to find either that respondents had suffered or were likely to suffer irreparable harm…”

So my favorite President has been lured into appointing folks with Monsanto ties. Why?
If only I knew but he still has my vote in spite of it because the alternatives are far worse. If you care to make sure to never purchase any Monsanto Products, check this list. It includes, Equal, NutraSweet, Roundup Herbicide, Genetically Engineered Soy & Canola Products, rBGH Dairy and this one was quite a surprise, Ambien Insomnia Medication.
