Barack Obama and the Monsanto betrayal
by Jon Rappoport
May 7, 2014
Under
the selective radar of mainstream media, Barack Obama has been carving
out a whole new level of support for Monsanto and other destructive
biotech giants.
From Scott Creighton, "Obama Pitches India Model of GM Genocide to Africa":
"At
the G8 Summit held two weeks ago at Camp David, President Obama met
with private industry and African heads of state to launch the New
Alliance for Food Security and Nutrition, a euphemism for monocultured,
genetically modified crops and toxic agrochemicals aimed at making poor
farmers debt slaves to corporations, while destroying the ecosphere for
profit.
"But
African civil society wants no part of this latest Monsanto aligned
'public private partnership.' Whatever will the progressives do now that
their flawless hero has teamed up with their most hated nemesis
[Monsanto] to exploit an entire continent like they did to India not
that long ago?...
"With
a commitment of $3 billion, Obama plans to 'partner up' with
mega-multinationals like Monsanto, Diageo, Dupont, Cargill, Vodafone,
Walmart, Pepsico, Prudential, Syngenta International, and Swiss Re
because, as one USAID representative says 'There are things that only
companies can do, like building silos for storage and developing seeds
and fertilizers.'
"Of
course, that's an outrageous lie. Private citizens have been building
their own silos for centuries. But it's true that only the biowreck
engineers will foist patented seeds and toxic chemicals on Africa."
Under
the guise of replacing the "donor-recipient model" of charity with
"smart business development that's a win-win for everybody," a new level
of corporate-government colonialism is aimed at the continent of
Africa. The new and improved strategy means bigger profits for the few
and greater suffering and displacement for the many.
Support
self-sufficiency for the small farmer? Expand the number of small farms
growing nutritious and non-toxic food? Never heard of it. Not on the
agenda---except in false propaganda statements and promises.
No,
instead, the idea is putting small farmers into debt to Monsanto for
GMO seeds and highly toxic herbicides, so they can grow (until they go
bankrupt) noxious GMO food crops. Small farms will eventually be snapped
up by big ag corporations.
Obama? A warrior against corporations on behalf of the people? It's long past the time for ripping that false mask away.
During
his 2008 campaign for president, Barack Obama transmitted signals that
he understood the GMO issue. Several key anti-GMO activists were
impressed. They thought Obama, once in the White House, would listen to
their concerns and act on them.
These
activists weren't just reading tea leaves. On the campaign trail, Obama
said: "Let folks know when their food is genetically modified, because
Americans have a right to know what they're buying."
Making
the distinction between GMO and non-GMO was certainly an indication
that Obama, unlike the FDA and USDA, saw there was an important line to
draw in the sand.
Beyond
that, Obama was promising a new era of transparency in government. He
was adamant in assuring that, if elected, his administration wouldn't do
business in "the old way." He would be "responsive to people's needs."
Then came the reality.
After
the election, people who had been working to label GMO food and warn
the public of its huge dangers were shocked to the core. They saw Obama
had been pulling a bait and switch.
After
the 2008 election, Obama filled key posts with Monsanto people, in
federal agencies that wield tremendous force in food issues, the USDA
and the FDA:
At
the USDA, as the director of the National Institute of Food and
Agriculture, Roger Beachy, former director of the Monsanto Danforth
Center.
As
deputy commissioner of the FDA, the new food-safety-issues czar, the
infamous Michael Taylor, former vice-president for public policy for
Monsanto. Taylor had been instrumental in getting approval for
Monsanto's genetically engineered bovine growth hormone.
As
commissioner of the USDA, Iowa governor, Tom Vilsack. Vilsack had set
up a national group, the Governors' Biotechnology Partnership, and had
been given a Governor of the Year Award by the Biotechnology Industry
Organization, whose members include Monsanto.
As the new Agriculture Trade Representative, who would push GMOs for export, Islam Siddiqui, a former Monsanto lobbyist.
As the new counsel for the USDA, Ramona Romero, who had been corporate counsel for another biotech giant, DuPont.
As
the new head of the USAID, Rajiv Shah, who had previously worked in key
positions for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, a major funder of
GMO agriculture research.
We
should also remember that Obama's secretary of state, Hillary Clinton,
once worked for the Rose law firm. That firm was counsel to Monsanto.
Obama
nominated Elena Kagan to the US Supreme Court. Kagan, as federal
solicitor general, had previously argued for Monsanto in the Monsanto v.
Geertson seed case before the Supreme Court.
The
deck was stacked. Obama hadn't simply made honest mistakes. Obama
hadn't just failed to exercise proper oversight in selecting appointees.
He wasn't just experiencing a failure of short-term memory. He was
staking out territory on behalf of Monsanto and other GMO corporate
giants.
And
now let us look at what key Obama appointees have wrought for their
true bosses. Let's see what GMO crops have walked through the open door
of the Obama presidency.
Monsanto GMO alfalfa.
Monsanto GMO sugar beets.
Monsanto GMO Bt soybean.
Coming soon: Monsanto's GMO sweet corn.
Syngenta GMO corn for ethanol.
Syngenta GMO stacked corn.
Pioneer GMO soybean.
Syngenta GMO Bt cotton.
Bayer GMO cotton.
ATryn, an anti-clotting agent from the milk of transgenic goats.
A GMO papaya strain.
And perhaps, soon, genetically engineered salmon and apples.
This is an extraordinary parade. It, in fact, makes Barack Obama the most GMO-dedicated politician in America.
You
don't attain that position through errors or oversights. Obama was, all
along, a stealth operative on behalf of Monsanto, biotech, GMOs, and
corporate control of the future of agriculture.
From
this perspective, Michelle Obama's campaign for gardens and clean,
organic, nutritious food is nothing more than a diversion, a cover story
floated to obscure what her husband has actually been doing.
Nor
is it coincidental that two of the Obama's biggest supporters, Bill
Gates and George Soros, purchased 900,000 and 500,000 shares of
Monsanto, respectively, in 2010.
We
are talking about a president who presented himself, and was believed
by many to be, an extraordinary departure from politics as usual.
Not only was that a wrong assessment, Obama was lying all along. He was, and he still is, Monsanto's man in Washington.
To
those people who fight for GMO labeling and the outlawing of GMO crops,
and against the decimation of the food supply and the destruction of
human health, but still believe Obama is a beacon in bleak times:
Wake up.
