"He who controls the food supply, controls the people"

So, Monsanto has been banned in: Austria, Bulgaria, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Japan, Luxembourg, Madeira, New Zealand, Peru, South Australia, Russia, France, and Switzerland! (hmm, for no reason??)
But here, in the great USSofA, the president of the lobbying group for Monsanto, Dupont, and other pesticide companies (pesticides that are killing the bee populartion, and creating "super bugs" resistant to pesticides), is appointed to the HEAD OF AGRICULTURE!!

They've patented soy beans, and corn, of which they have a "more than 80% of US corn and more than 90% of soybeans" monopoly.

Is it no wonder this farmer lost in the supreme court against this company responsible for dumping PCB's for over 40 years in Alabama, and knew exactly how bad it was?

How many thousand of years did civilization grow & cultivate seeds without any interference from GMO products? When will we as a country follow suit with these 15 other countries? My opinion: never. We can't, cause they control the government and the courts. They know how to manipulate the system, rig it, and make sure they're legal team writes the rules.

What's really going on in the world?

I haven't posted in forever... but I had to get this off my chest..

Is the world really on a precipice for disaster? Just take a look at everything that's going on:

We are currently in one of the largest military buildups in ther persian gulf around Iran:

Needless to say I could go on, coming home to the US with unprecedented heat records, solar storms, city bankruptcies, and so on and so on....
What's going on? Is it just me? I'm honestly not trying to find this doom & gloom, but I feel like it's everywhere... I do try to find beauty and goodness in people, but the world is in a very precarious place with economies in the tubes, and the war drums beating again. Isn't 10+ years of war in the Mid east enough?
