OBAMA SIGNS MONSANTO PROTECTION LANGUAGE INTO LAW
Monsanto has been taking farmers to court if they find any GMO seed growing on their property that was not purchased via Monsanto. The courts have continually backed Monsanto ignoring possibilities of cross-pollination or Monsanto seeds getting into the fields inadvertently. A backlash is building in America against this giant predator in seeds, so unprincipled members of Congress have inserted language into a bill to protect Monsanto from the farmers, rather than protect the farmers from the GMO seed giant. Activist Post reported that,

President Obama signed HR 933 into law with biotech rider Sec. 735 – dubbed the Monsanto Protection Act – still contained. Simply put, the rider hidden in the text of the Farmer Assurance Provision – and has nothing to do with Continuing Resolution spending (HR 933) – protects Monsanto from the court system should they want to halt illegally planted or hazardous genetically modified crops. The USDA already gives biotech companies like Monsanto the thumbs up, trusting Monsanto’s own safety evaluations. Now the court system cannot intervene, which could prove detrimental to farmers who are sued by Monsanto for patent infringement when their GM seeds contaminate those farmers’ fields.
