Now that's convenient isn't it? They don't even try to disguise their agendas anymore.

Speaking of Monsanto (moonsaturn), I noticed the top honcho at the Canadian branch has the name 'Lisa Safarian'. How close is that to Luciferian? I don't believe in coinidences.

1999: Monsanto Has Taken Legal Action against More than 525 Farmers in US and Canada
Edit event

Monsanto has taken legal action against more than 525 farmers whom it has accused of illegally planting its patent-protected seeds. About half of these cases have so far ended with settlements ranging from tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars each, according to Lisa Safarian, Monsanto’s intellectual property protection manager. The Washington Post reports that according to Safarian, Monsanto “has decided that the risk of alienating some farmers is more than offset by the benefit of being able to promise ‘a level playing field’ for the vast majority of honest customers.” Safarian says that money from the settlements are funding a Monsanto-created scholarship fund to help the children of farmers go to college. [Washington Post, 2/3/1999] The money also goes toward other educational programs, such as biotechnology acceptance programs. [Canadian Business, 10/8/1999] Farmers who choose to settle with Monsanto must pay the $12 ($15 CAD)/acre fee and all the profits from the illegally planted crop. The farmer must also sign a contract waiving his or her right to speak publicly about the settlement. Monsanto, on the other hand, explicitly reserves its right in the agreement to comment publicly on the matter. [Canadian Business, 10/8/1999]

This is depressing yet the fight goes on!

There was this long, famous case in Saskatchewan: Monsanto vs Schmeiser

Percy Schmeiser is a farmer from Bruno, Saskatchewan Canada whose Canola fields were contaminated with Monsanto's Round-Up Ready Canola. Monsanto's position was that it didn't matter whether Schmeiser knew or not that his canola field was contaminated with the Roundup Ready gene, or whether or not he took advantage of the technology (he didn't); that he must pay Monsanto their Technology Fee of $15./acre.

Schmeiser pleased with victory over Monsanto
In an out of court settlement finalized on March 19, 2008, Percy Schmeiser has settled his lawsuit with Monsanto. Monsanto has agreed to pay all the clean-up costs of the Roundup Ready canola that contaminated Schmeiser's fields. Also part of the agreement was that there was no gag-order on the settlement and that Monsanto could be sued again if further contamination occurred. Schmeiser believes this precedent setting agreement ensures that farmers will be entitled to reimbursement when their fields become contaminated with unwanted Roundup Ready canola or any other unwanted GMO plants. http://www.percyschmeiser.com/
