<p><span style="color:#000000;"><strong>Anonymous Message To Monsanto: We fight for farmers! – Video Transcript</strong> (Cross-Posted from</span> <a href="http://www.organiccommonsense.com/organic/anonymous-takes-down-monsanto-com/">Organic Common Sense</a><span style="color:#000000;">):<em> &#8220;To the free-thinking citizens of the world: Anonymous stands with the farmers and food organizations denouncing the practices of Monsanto We applaud the bravery of the organizations and citizens who are standing up to Monsanto, and we stand united with you against this oppressive corporate abuse. Monsanto is contaminating the world with chemicals and genetically modified food crops for profit while claiming to feed the hungry and protect the environment. Anonymous is everyone, Anyone who can not stand for injustice and decides to do something about it, We are all over the Earth and here to stay.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;"><em>To Monsanto, we demand you STOP the following:</em></span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color:#000000;"><em>Contaminating the global food chain with GMO’s.</em></span></li>
<li><span style="color:#000000;"><em>Intimidating small farmers with bullying and lawsuits.</em></span></li>
<li><span style="color:#000000;"><em>Propagating the use of destructive pesticides and herbicides across the globe.</em></span></li>
<li><span style="color:#000000;"><em>Using “Terminator Technology”, which renders plants sterile.</em></span></li>
<li><span style="color:#000000;"><em>Attempting to hijack UN climate change negotiations for your own fiscal benefit.</em></span></li>
<li><span style="color:#000000;"><em>Reducing farmland to desert through monoculture and the use of synthetic fertilizers.</em></span></li>
<li><span style="color:#000000;"><em>Inspiring suicides of hundreds of thousands of Indian farmers.</em></span></li>
<li><span style="color:#000000;"><em>Causing birth defects by continuing to produce the pesticide “Round-up”</em></span></li>
<li><span style="color:#000000;"><em>Attempting to bribe foriegn officials</em></span></li>
<li><span style="color:#000000;"><em>Infiltrating anti-GMO groups</em></span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="color:#000000;"><em><!--more-->Monsanto, these crimes will not go unpunished. Anonymous will not spare you nor anyone in support of your oppressive illegal business practices.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;"><em>AGRA, a great example:</em></span><br />
<span style="color:#000000;"><em> In 2006, AGRA, Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa, was established with funding from Bill Gates and The Rockefeller Foundation.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;"><em>Among the other founding members of, AGRA, we find: Monsanto, Novartis, Sanofi-Aventis, GlaxoSmithKline, Procter and Gamble, Merck, Mosaic, Pfizer, Sumitomo Chemical and Yara. The fact that these corporations are either chemical or pharmaceutical manufacturers is no coincidence.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;"><em>The people of the world see you, Monsanto. Anonymous sees you.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;"><em>Seeds of Opportunism, Climate change offers these businesses a perfect excuse to prey on the poorest countries by swooping in to “rescue” the farmers and people with their GMO crops and chemical pesticides. These corporations eradicate the traditional ways of the country’s agriculture for the sake of enormous profits.</em></span><span style="color:#000000;"><em> The introduction of GMOs drastically affects a local farmers income, as the price of chemicals required for GMOs and seeds from Monsanto cripples the farmer’s meager profit margins.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;"><em>There are even many cases of Monsanto suing small farmers after pollen from their GMO crops accidentally cross with the farmer’s crops. Because Monsanto has a patent on theri brand of seed, they claim the farmer is in violation of patent laws.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;"><em>These disgusting and inhumane practices will not be tolerated.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;"><em>Anonymous urges all concerned citizens to stand up for these farmers, stand up for the future of your own food. Protest, organize, spread info to your friends!</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;"><em>SAY NO TO POISONOUS CHEMICALS IN YOUR FOOD!</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;"><em>SAY NO TO GMO!</em></span><br />
<span style="color:#000000;"><em>SAY NO TO MONSANTO!</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;"><em>We are Anonymous</em></span><br />
<span style="color:#000000;"><em> We are legion</em></span><br />
<span style="color:#000000;"><em> We do not forgive</em></span><br />
<span style="color:#000000;"><em> We do not forget</em></span><br />
<span style="color:#000000;"><em> Expect us&#8221;</em></span></p>
