What corporate biotech giants will be witnessing very soon is another, bigger mass uprising against their GMO business and their toxic products. Their legal actions against communities and states reek of fearful, weak ideals and integrity that knows at any given time, communities can and will turn full force to properly revolt against them. Once the anger has passed and the knowledge is understood, individuals will realize that there is no longer need to pour energy into protests. Awareness has past the tipping point while the court of public opinion and truth is winning at every turn. The genetically modified products are toxic. The chemicals are decimating our health. A labeling movement is not enough. Monsanto and the other biotech giants started this fight long ago and have no intention of backing down. In short, everything about them is anti-human.
No one is coming to save us. No one in the positions of perceived power can lift a finger to help. In fact, many of them promote and directly take large amounts of money from biotech corporations. As Chris Hedges correctly states
“We live in a political system that has legalized bribery, exclusively serves corporate power and is awash in propaganda and lies.”
In addition, most major environmental groups have been neutralized with biotech-funded gags limiting their rhetoric to topics of little importance compared the rapid mass poisoning of the planet and the permanent change of the human genetic code. All thinkers watching the charades of outlets like Media Matters see the transparency and will never forget how they didn’t stand with the people during this fight for our health, food sovereignty and against constant legal abuse towards communities and states. Last year’s March Against Monsanto was the world’s largest. Last year, the world was angry, this year it is time that we handle our business by ending theirs. The ideals communicated by Ron Findley effortlessly dwarf any remaining fear surrounding solutions when he commented on what he was doing during last year’s March Against Monsanto in Los Angeles:
“Monsanto don’t really care about you marching. You know what I did? That day I had 60 people putting in a garden. So now imagine if you had all those people that were marching, which is cool people need to march, but just imagine if that energy went into all those people putting in gardens. I mean, there’s your fight against Monsanto.”
This is the year that the consciousness shifts from protest to mass world-wide community and individual action. No more do we need to wait for Whole Foods to eventually switch over to labeling GMO’s by 2018. No more do we have to watch another fruit or vegetable to get the untested green light by the FDA. The USDA no longer holds public respect and has long since became a joke even before its scientists signed petitions asking for protection from biotech influence. Our children will not have to walk down this same road again to do battle with biotech corporations because it all ends here. The lessons of conscious resistance and strategic, community-based action will always trump marketing campaigns, fraudulent scientific studies, legal corruption and any market share a corporation thinks it has secured. As the the March Against Monsanto happens, the real questions is this: Will you be marching or planting?
Jeffrey Smith recently appeared on The Doctors attempting to give them, like Dr. Oz, a non-GMO ratings boost along with an education. The mainstream media has arrived late to the party and is conducting interviews and public debate around GMO food that already happened years ago in communities, among scientists and throughout local farms. Since then, decisions were made, actions taken and a non-GMO industry paradigm shift is in full swing. Smith concluded this on The Doctors by stating what is becoming obvious to many:
“The biotech industry and the chemical industry want you to compare one chemical to another. But if you look at organic agriculture grown without these agrochemicals, it turns out they have at least the same level of yield as the conventional agriculture. And in developing countries, it can increase yield by 100%. These are major studies. We don’t need these chemicals.”
