The Monsanto Revolution
The Monsanto
Revolution
By Timothy V. Gatto
The protests against the Monsanto Protection Act were not
covered by the corporately run news media in the United States. This
treacherous act itself has not been discussed by the majority of people and the
information about what it really means to us is being hidden by those charged
to provide this information.
The very fact that the corporate media has tried to minimize the
coverage of the protests, and the fact that they hid the role of Congress in
protecting a company that has the potential to damage our lives is something
that is actually criminal. The fact that most Americans still don’t know about
the potential effects of GMO seeds to the American people cannot be defended.
It was the alternative and social media that brought this
matter to the public. The marches and the gathering of concerned Americans
demonstrated the power of this new way of communication. The effectiveness and
coordination in over 250 cities in the United States was absolutely remarkable
and a demonstration of how democracy works.
It was also remarkable how the commercial media downplayed
and censored the protests of the people. The importance of the information that
the demonstrators were trying to present to the American public and the effect
of what Monsanto's policies will have on the public is of significant
importance.
Even though people demonstrated in almost every city in the
United States, the commercial media still managed to keep the purpose and the
import of the demonstrations quiet, the suppression of that information was
done masterfully.
What Else are they hiding from the People?
It appears that our government has morphed into something
that would be unrecognizable to those that designed and formed it. In the
period of time during the American Revolution, many people in the government
were indeed rich and powerful, but many were not. Today most Senators and Congressman
are rich and powerful and those that are not will by the time they leave
office. The majority of those in Congress are controlled by corporate money and
this is what funds their campaigns.
The Monsanto debacle has proven, beyond any shadow of a
doubt that the commercial media is in the hands of the rich and powerful.
Information they don’t want known does not escape from the media cloud that is
dispersed to the people. The importance of what Monsanto plans to do, and the
effect it would have on all of the people in the United States proves that even
a subject that affects us so deeply can be hidden from the people.
This should cause a seismic shift in our understanding of
who and what controls the American people. The importance of The Monsanto
Protection Act and the potential damage to the health and economic welfare of
American citizen's cannot be understated. What Congress has done was not done
in the name of the American people; it was done to shield a corporation and
thus was essentially an act of treason.
Again I’m asking the
question; what else are they hiding from us? Whether it is because of corporate
interests or because of what they feel is "national security", these
questions should and must be asked and the government should be compelled to
answer.
The simple facts are, the people don't work for the
government in America, the government, under our law, works for the people!
When they passed "The Monsanto Protection Act", they passed a law
that literally protected a corporation from the American people! Again, this is
treason! Treason perpetrated against the American people is a capital offense!
This may sound extreme, but every lawmaker that voted for this bill should be
impeached and charged with treason against the people of the United States. The
bill should be declared treasonous and overturned by The Supreme Court.
Of course, in today's political climate, and with the
perpetrators being the ones that hold power in Congress, this won't happen at
this particular time, but it can and will happen. It must happen! If the
American people want control of the government instead of the government having
control over them, they must take this issue to its logical conclusion.
As has happened many times in the past, it is happening here
and now in the United States of America. The government has acted against the
welfare of its own people for the personal gain of a corporation. This display
of corporate power is contrary to our Declaration of Independence and against
our Constitution.
Anyone who really cares about the welfare of their fellow
man should take notice. It is apparent that one day of marches and
demonstrating in the streets just isn't enough. The only way forward is to
continue to raise hell; more marches, more demonstrations, more people posting
articles and more people raising awareness using any means possible. This is
the only hope of stopping treason against the people.
