UN, Monsanto will be implementing a new series of "sustainability

NaturalNews |

A United Nations (UN) scheme to surreptitiously seize property rights from people worldwide and pack the world's populations into tiny micro-cities controlled by a centralized government has a new ally, Monsanto, which recently joined the so-called World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) in pushing for the widespread implementation of the infamous "Agenda 21."

According to The New American, Monsanto joins a cohort of major banks, oil companies, and other powerful corporate players in pushing the UN Agenda 21 scam, which plans to eliminate national and social sovereignty, and enslave humanity under the guise of "sustainability." Personal property ownership, the ability to travel freely, the ability to live without government intrusion in every area of your life -- these and many other liberties will all disappear if Agenda 21 is fully implemented as intended.

But these concepts of complete tyranny are "values" that Monsanto fully embraces, as the corporate monolith has already been actively trampling personal property rights for decades. Monsanto's genetically-modified (GM) terminator seeds and accompanying chemical technologies, for instance, have been contaminating and destroying non-GM and organic crops for years, and the company has actually sued hundreds of farmers whose land was illegally trespassed by the company's patented "Frankencrops."

As part of its partnership with the UN, Monsanto will be implementing a new series of "sustainability" courses for its employees, which will be headed by Hugh Grant, the company's CEO. Grant will also reportedly serve as a councilman on the global sustainable development coalition, the goal of which is to advance what WBCSD outspokenly refers to on its website as a "One World vision," which will essentially transform all of humanity into the likeness of the UN's blueprint for the world.

"The One World vision is the ultimate stage of a conceptual evolution that started decades ago," explains the council, ominously, on its website. "This evolution produced several paradigm shifts that combine how we comprehend our world, and, as a result, how we try to deal with it."

Beware of global government hiding behind 'sustainability'

This ethereal rhetoric fails; however, to define precisely what the agenda actually entails. As covered recently by Michael Snyder over at Economic Collapse, Agenda 21 exploits environmental problems for the purpose of expanding government control over humanity. Individual liberties and freedoms, he writes, are ultimately sacrificed in order to meld the world into a one world government control grid, where every human activity is monitored, tracked, and controlled.

"In simplified terms, Agenda 21 is a master blueprint, or guidelines, for constructing 'sustainable' communities," explains a RedState.com article published back in 2011. Adding to this, a local resident of Summit Hill, Pennsylvania, explained at a council meeting on sustainable development that the purpose of the whole scheme is to "inventory and control all land, all water, all minerals, all plants, all animals, all construction, all means of production, all information, all energy, and all human beings in the world."

Plainly stated, this philosophy is a perfect match for the Monsanto business model, which already seeks to control all of agriculture, and eliminate the freedom of individuals to grow crops that are not patented. Monsanto also hates freedom of information, as the biotechnology giant spent more than $8 million last year to defeat the Proposition 37 ballot measure in California that would have required the labeling of GMOs at the retail level.

U.S. farmers may stop planting GMOs after horrific crop yields

NaturalNews |
Some farmers across the United States may stop planting genetically modified crops after poor yields are increasing costs beyond what they can absorb.

According to Farmers Weekly, those farmers are considering returning to conventional seed after increased pest resistance and crop failures have meant smaller GM crop yields over non-GM counterparts.

Farmers in the U.S. pay about $100 more per acre for GM seed. Many have begun questioning "whether they will continue to see benefits from using GMs," the farmer's publication reported.

"It's all about cost benefit analysis," economist Dan Basse, president of AgResource, an American agricultural research firm, said.

"Farmers are paying extra for the technology but have seen yields which are no better than 10 years ago," he told the Weekly. "They're starting to wonder why they're spending extra money on the technology."

A problem that is becoming more widespread

The publication said one of the biggest problems U.S. farmers have experienced with GM seed is resistance. When GM seeds were first introduced, biotech engineers said it would be 40 years before resistance would develop; but pests such as corn rootworm have instead developed a resistance to GM crops in as few as 14 years.

"Some of these bugs will eat the plant and it will make them sick, but not kill them. It starts off in pockets of the country but then becomes more widespread," Basse said.

"We're looking at going back to cultivation to control it. I now use insecticides again," he said.

If farmers don't move back towards non-GMOs, the availability of seed will become an issue, he said, noting that some 87 percent of U.S. farmers currently plant genetically modified seed.

Countries around the world that do not use GM seed are outperforming U.S. farmers. The largest crop yields last year were in Asia, and China in particular, where farmers don't plant GM seed.

For years, there has been concern that GM seeds would develop resistance to pesticides and weed killers, though some of the largest biotech firms that push such seeds - like Monsanto - have consistently denied or downplayed such concerns.

Scott McAllister, a third-generation farmer in Iowa, told The Huffington Post in October he was leery of Monsanto's claims when a seed peddler came to see him last fall.

"Down the road, are we going to experience resistance in weeds with the continued use of Roundup?" McAllister said he recalls asking the salesman.

"Oh no, that'll never happen," he was told.

Sure it won't...

Monsanto's combination of GM seed and Roundup herbicide was supposed to help crops thrive, not weeds and bugs. But 15 years later, when most corn, soybeans and cotton cultivated in the U.S. comes from Roundup Ready seed, an increasing number of these crops are falling prey to "superweeds" that have become resistant to the GM seeds and herbicide that was supposed to kill them forever.

From HuffPo:

Repeated application of the herbicide has literally weeded out the weak weeds and given the rare resistant weeds the opportunity to take over. The situation, according to a report published...in the peer-reviewed journal Environmental Sciences Europe, has driven growers to use larger quantities of Roundup, more often and in conjunction with a broader arsenal of other weed-killing chemicals.

"It's been a slowly unfolding train wreck," Charles Benbrook, author of the study and professor at the Center for Sustaining Agriculture and Natural Resources at Washington State University, said.

"Before biotech came on the market, we had one airplane in the county to do all the aerial spraying," McAllister told the online newspaper. "Now they bring in seven or eight. We've got the same acreage of crops. They're just spraying more."
