Political Mafia
Leaked documents reveal US diplomats actually work for Monsanto

(NaturalNews) Biotech giant Monsanto has been genetically modifying the world's
food supply and subsequently breeding environmental devastation for years, but
leaked documents now reveal that Monsanto has also deeply infiltrated the United
States government. With leaked reports revealing how U.S. diplomats are actually
working for Monsanto to push their agenda along with other key government
officials, Monsanto's grasp on international politics has never been clearer.
Amazingly, the information reveals that the massive corporation is also
intensely involved in the passing and regulations concerning the very GM
ingredients they are responsible for. In fact, the information released by
WikiLeaks reveals just how much power Monsanto has thanks to key positions
within the United States government and elsewhere. Not only was it exposed that
the U.S. is threatening nations who oppose Monsanto with military-style trade
wars, but that many U.S. diplomats actually work directly for Monsanto.
What the leaked documents reveal -- Military style trade wars,
government corruption
In 2007 it was requested that specific nations inside the European Union be
punished for not supporting the expansion of Monsanto's GMO crops. The request
for such measures to be taken was made by
Craig Stapleton, the United States ambassador to France and partner to
George W. Bush. Despite mounting evidence linking Monsanto's GM corn to organ
damage and environmental devastation, the ambassador plainly calls for 'target
retaliation' against those not supporting the GM crop. In the leaked documents,
Stapleton states:
"Country team Paris recommends that we calibrate a target retaliation list that
causes some pain across the EU since this is a collective responsibility, but
that also focuses in part on the worst culprits. The list should be measured
rather than vicious and must be sustainable over the long term, since we should
not expect an early victory. Moving to retaliation will make clear that the
current path has real costs to EU interests and could help strengthen European
pro-biotech voices."
The undying support of key players within the U.S. towards Monsanto is
undeniably made clear not only in this release, but in the legislative decisions
taken by organizations such as the FDA and USDA. Legislative decisions such as
allowing Monsanto's synthetic hormone Posilac (rBGH) to be injected into U.S.
cows despite being banned in 27 countries. How did Monsanto pull this off?
The biotech juggernaut managed to infiltrate the FDA positions responsible for
the approval of rBGH, going as far as instating the company's own Margaret
Miller as Deputy Director of Human Safety and Consultative Services. After
assuming this position, Miller reviewed her own report on the safety and
effectiveness of rBGH.Many US diplomats pawns of Monsanto's
GM agenda
While it may be shocking to you if you are not familiar with the corrupt
influence of Monsanto, the cables also show that many US diplomats are pushing
GMO crops as a strategic government and commercial imperative. Interestingly
enough, the U.S. focused their efforts toward advisers to the pope specifically,
due to the fact that many Catholic figureheads have openly voiced their
opposition to GM foods. With this kind of political influence, is it any wonder
that many food staples are now predominantly GM? Nearly 93% of U.S. soybeans are
heavily modified conservatively, with many other staple crops coming in at
similar numbers.
U.S. diplomats have unique opportunities to spread honest and intellectual
campagins that can serve to better mankind and end suffering, however they are
instead spreading the roots of Monsanto deeper and deeper into international
territory. As a substitute for the betterment of mankind, these paid-off
diplomats are now spreading environment desecration and health destruction.
As if there wasn't already enough information to reveal Monsanto's corruption,
the biotech giant also spends enormous amount of money lobbying government each
year. Monsanto spent an astonishing $2 million lobbying the federal government
in the 3rd quarter of 2011 alone, according to mainstream sources. Why so much
cash? The government lobbying focuses on issues like regulations for GM crops
and patent reforms. This 'legal' form of persuasion is the reason government
agencies like the USDA and FDA let Monsanto roam freely.
Satisfying government officials' financial vested interest is all that matters
when dealing with corrupt mega-corporations like Monsanto. As long as these
financial ties continue to exist, Monsanto will continue to reign over the food
supply and continue to wreak devastation to the environment, ecosystem, and
humankind.
