As there was not the overwhelming expected response to the posting about Monsanto, I felt no great need to rush on to the next name on The List, which is Bayer.
But then in my email this morning, came the impetus to do it right now.
This story is but one of countless examples of the reasons why our Planet has reached such a critical tipping point.
This is a twisted tale of money, lobbyists, pesticides and toxins, seeds, GMO’s, politicians and of course, the usual Mega Corporations, and squeezed in between them, are the outraged residents of the Aloha State, who have just passed a NO GMO’s law that will start in August of this year.
Bayer and its “comrades in crime” have pushed one of the most beautiful, natural Islands of the Pacific, Hawaii to be exact, to the edge and now the Hawaiians are pushing back, hard.
The players in this story are the besieged people of the Hawaiian Islands and in the opposite corner, Monsanto, Bayer, Syngenta, Dow Chemical, DuPont Pioneer, etc., or as they are not so lovingly called, the BIG SIX.
Let the blood bath begin.
How many of you truly believe that the common people of Hawaii can outspend these Mega Groups, with their endless professional lobbyists, staunch political backers and millionaire donaters with their never empty check books?
It does not look good for the ” people.”
This is all very personal to me, having experienced this Garden of Eden personally several times, and being left with priceless memories of a truly perfect paradise.
The miles of never-ending fields of mouth-watering pineapples, the crystal clear waterfalls, surrounded by a dizzying array of wild fruits trees, the abundance of pure, safe food everywhere that the eye can see, this truly is a place of miraculous beauty, and it is being held hostage, or put up for sale right now, by the ” biggest bullies on the block.”
Thinking of what “ BIG AG ” is trying to do here, makes me see red.
What the people of Hawaii are attempting to do is fight back, albeit, perhaps in vain.
They are trying to force these BIG AG BULLIES to identify what food is modified and we DO have that right, all of us.
This is not the first dirty, legal battle for these Mega Corporations, they have a lot on the line in Hawaii, because you can be sure that the rest of the country is watching and right now, a very frightening thought comes to mind:
so goes Hawaii, so goes the rest of the USA, maybe even the world!
This GMO Train Wreck has left the station, next stop, your dinner plate.
Stay tuned America, the entire source of your future food supply, may be a modified genetic organism, a GMO and you may not know it, or be able to stop it.
How does that taste?
Here’s to the Power of the People, those Passionate Polynesians, the Hawaiian people!

The first story below, from those great people at Alter Net, is truly awesome, as it names names
and shows who got how much and why.

Interesting story about an important issue. Some great resource links (as usual.)
Very frustrating when politicians so obviously listen intently with their pocket books.
It’s a mess – and a dichotomy; on the one hand we look to big science to improve our lives and feed the worlds population; on the other hand we cannot run the risk of permitting them to operate purely within the profit motive without the regard for unseen consequences to humanity.
GMO is miraculous technology – it really is. Many areas of the world are probably forced to consume GMOs out of necessity and when you are starving you do not much care about food labeling. Still, if these Agricultural practices are permitted anywhere they will likely be permitted everywhere.
Who shall we trust? The politician or the scientist? At what point to we admit that both of those groups are probably already GMO-MOs?
Brilliant thinking as always!
The point is that we deserve to know what we are eating, so that we can choose.
Americans and the rest of the world are smart enough to decide what they want to eat, or not.
It is the deceit that is the Issue here.
Agreed… the thing is once GMO is out there, it’s out there. Who can say how GMOs will ultimately affect the “gene pool.” Tricky business – best left to the Gods by all accounts.
Have you had all of the children you wish to?
