One of a few corporations I have a personal hard-on for utterly destroying......their legacy will be one dwarfed only by Dow Chemicals and Raytheon, as having been instrumental in fist-fucking planet E.

Kill them all, abscond with their assets, establish a tribunal, erase their memory completely.....

Way to produce compelling evidence - "If I type 'Monsanto murdering babies' into Google, I get over a thousand hits!"

Yes, it's a good thing this documentary relies on interviews and facts instead, but you'd have to have watched it beyond the 5 minute mark to know that.

This is a good documentary. Vandana Shiva's 'Stolen Harvest' is an excellent book on this issue too.

Of course I watched the entire thing, you ridiculous idiot, and that doesn't mean that it didn't insult the viewer's intelligence at least a couple of times. I agree with a lot of the central tenets, but I have to conclude that the video wasn't made with me or any other grown-ups in mind. The Google thing was brazen; the use of value-loaded scare terms was as obnoxious as any 'right-to-lifer'; and the entire discussion on patents was stupid, misleading, and betrayed a fundamental lack of research, insight, and maturity. I upvoted because I want people to know that Monsanto is doing a world of harm to several food industries and to the field of biotechnology, not to mention a lot of people, but I'm not going to pretend that the video was made for adults. That said, you go ahead and enjoy it.

Thanks for clarifying. Your previous comment was inane.

Lost in the pile of rubbish most monkeys offer as infotainment here, deserving of more votes than the wiki leak of civilian slaughter, infinitely more important than the bull-shit cradle-to-grave concerns the health care hawkers whine about here-Fundamental to human survival, is the death of satanic corporations like Monsanto-kill them all, burn their corporate headquarters to the ground.

Sadly, our current corporate culture applauds this sort of effort. We need to put an end to any organization that attempts to create their own artificial demand as opposed to fulfilling naturally occurring consumer demand.

This makes me furious. I'm with you choggie. (first comment only)

Interestingly, if you search these same words two years later, your comment is now the #1 choice returned by Google (and they now score 1.7 million hits, so I guess Monsanto's reputation didn't exactly improve).

Has anyone else seen the Monsanto ad banners on the sift lately?

Their drop down ad bukkaked the front page for me the other day. [appeared in both top and right side ad spaces at once. couldn't scroll past or close them either.]

I know that those banner ads are probably randomized but is there anyway that @dag or lucky could select [whitelist/blacklist] the potential advertisers for the click thru ads on the sift?

Don't think anyone in the Videosift community would like to support a corporation like this one.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

I'm pretty sure we have Monsanto blacklisted on Adsense - which is the only network that gives us that control. Unless they are using a non-Monsanto domain. >> ^GenjiKilpatrick:

"The reason why GM crops are here is based on a deception that occured in the FDA." (25:00)

"From a corporate standpoint it was a brilliantly orchestarted takeover [of the FDA]" (30:00)

"Donald Rumsfeld was the CEO of Serle which was a Monsanto subsidiary. The former US trade ambassador Mikey Canter ended up on Mansanto's Board. Supreme Court Judge Clarence Thomas used to work for Monsanto. (44:00)

"Biotechnology is so important that we can't let a few little questions about cow safety or human safety get in the way." (43:20)

"Round-Up ready [genetically modified] soybeans account for ninety percent of the soybeans grown in the U.S.. In fact seventy percent of the food in American stores contains bio-engineered elements." (58:00)

This film is so incredibly quotable in it's detail about how Monsanto is a danger to the health of the food of the world, but I'll stop here.

Fuck Monsanto
