Six months ago, local Occupy movements arrived at one of the corporation's Davis facilities at 6 a.m. Monsanto sent a message to their plant's workers to not come into work. The protest educated the public and initiated a conversation as a general assembly brainstormed solutions to Monsanto's corrupt ties the government, unethical business practices, destruction of the environment as well as the production of unhealthy food. Local activist groups plan to shutdown the Davis Monsanto plant once again on Monday, Sept. 17. DAVIS, Calif.—Local Occupy movements including Occupy Sacramento, Woodland and Davis will participate in the international shutdown Monsanto action Sept. 17 at 6 a.m. at the corporation’s facility at 1920 5th Street in Davis. The Anti Monsanto Project rally to combat Monsanto’s business policies is in solidarity with Millions Against Monsanto and other organizations devoted to stopping the monopoly. Guest speakers are Vice Presidential candidate Cindy Sheehan and United Farm Workers activist, Al Rojas. Singer/songwriter Sandra McDougle and the Fresh Juice Party (FJP) will perform original songs for the action. Education, music, art and food will be provided. Activist groups in attendance will include, the Sacramento American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations, The Luis Magna Organization De Trabajadores Agricolas De California, Labor Council of Latin American Advancement and more. A general assembly meeting to vote on the resolutions created at the March 16 and 17 Monsanto shutdown actions include: 1) Gain statewide support for Proposition 37 to label food created with genetically modified organisms (GMOs). 2) Label milk produced with recombinant bovine growth hormone (rBGH) like Ohio accomplished in 2010. 3) Require crop rotation of monocultures to restore biodiversity and lessen the need of pesticides to combat insects. 4) Ban the use of Roundup (glyphosate) and other pesticides/herbicides that contaminate the environment and cause human health risks. 5) Stop Monsanto’s effort to privatize water in the U.S. as seen in Mexico and India. In preparation of the action, Ryan, a protestor with Occupy Sacramento presented an educational workshop on September 2 in front of Old City Hall in Sacramento about topics that will be presented at the September 17 event. "Lack of food supply and an unhealthy land base will escalate in which all other problems become trivial," Ryan said. "Monsanto's trends will continue and humanity will be doomed if we don't fight the company at the ballot box, in stores and in the streets."

The First Canadian Division when in Germany 1945 said that I.G.Farben the Nazis Chemical Warfare Monopoly must be dismantled, as it was a pseudo science. The U.s. Imperialist Army as Supreme Commander, said no, it is a billion dollar chemical corp. However, to pacify the anger of the peoples and liberation fighters, they name changed the corporation to Basf, Bayer, and Hoekest, and interlocked their directives with the U.S. chemical warfare Corps. of DOW, DUPONT, AND MONSANTO.
These six Corporations from that time to the present have been waging a chemical war against the ecological, organic web-of-life around the globe. Monsanto is a guilty war criminal corporation that supplied much of the Chemical poisons against the plants, animals, and peoples of Indo-China, especially in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. When asked about the extent of the war criminal destruction done by U.S. Imperialism in the U.S. Imperialist aggression against Indo-China, the General who liberated Saigon said, the U.S. Aggressors caused five million killed. The fact is that also over five million people in Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam have been acutely and chronically poisoned, and to this day that gene pool is still harmed from the poisoning. The fact is that Monsanto was one of Chemical Poison Corporations that did major supplying of the illegal WMD-chemical aggression (Rainbow Poisons) throughout Indo-China. These war crimes have not been fully delt with yet, as the International Criminal Courts have proven to be inadequate in upholding the anti-fascist laws of the world. Such as the Nuremberg Trials (Planning and Doing of Aggressive war is the Supreme International crime), Genva Conventions of war, 1) targetting and killing of civilians is a war crime, 2) torturing and killing of POW's is a war crime, 3) collective punishment is a war crime, such a burning down a whole village to kill on liberation fighter; and the United Nations Charter, which says that the UN was formed to make war just a long distant memory for the comming generations. The anti-fascist fighters of the Second World War set liberation to be away from 'Militarism' and towards ending aggressive war as any nations foreign policy. The way forward was to be collective agree as foreign policy for mutual benefit as how to settle disputes between nations. Monsanto is a war criminal corp. It practices a phony pretense of being an agricutural expert, but all the while it extorts the farmers with liens on their property if some of their dominator seeds take over a crop by trucks going by and wind blown seeds end up on a farmers land. Phony courts that it controls, says it does not matter how the seeds got there, it is still Monsanto property, and there for Canola Farmer Schmeiser in Canada, was fined 143,000 dollars. Monsanto then tried to take Schmeiser to Court again and for one million Dollars. Schmeiser won only that he did not have to pay one million, but in truth he is still owed the 143,000. Monsanto is trying to break the peasant-farmer practice of thousands of years of the freedom to grow their own quality seeds, and live up to leaders of the world in the 'Dialectics of Nature'. Monsanto is guilty of war crimes says the Nuremburg Trials, as well as the Geneva Conventions of war, and the UN Charter. Dismantle Monsanto and give the extorted money back to the peasant-farmers so they can continue to lead the agricultural organic revolution for the good of us all. Workers of the world, unite!! End pollution wars, not endless war for more and more pollution. You yet have a world to win. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
