How Monsanto Bankrupted the American Farm https://robynobrien.com/how-monsanto-bankrupted-the-american-farm/ and how Bayer decimated most of America's honeybee population with their neonicotinoid insecticides no affordable honey on America's grocery shelves any more few if any local honey producers Bayer and Monsanto's home base is Germany, second to England, greedhead capital of the world Hitler's revenge on the West from the grave meanwhile: Amazon will pay $0 in taxes on $11,200,000,000 in profit for 2018 https://finance.yahoo.com/news/amazon-taxes-zero-180337770.html now Sanet goes away, the main, maybe the only, online watering hole for America's farmers, especially the organic ones, for decades, with enough priceless information it its message archives dating from 1991 to write a best selling book on the origins of America's organic farming movement not hard to figure out why that is happening; just look at the EPA and the USDA same thing happened in Canada a while back here is what a friend wrote me about that: "The same thing happened in Canada a few years back, during the regime of Stephen Harper. He was their version of a Tea Party candidate (there are a lot of TP types up there). And he was annoyed at the activities of the Canadian Dept of Fisheries, in the same way the right wingers here are concerned about the activities of the EPA. That is, the Fisheries people were coming up with good rules to regulate fishing in Canadian waters, based on two centuries of good oceanographic and fisheries research. So he got rid of the research. All 15 or so stations across Canada were shut down, and their staffs let go. So people with institutional memories were let go. All their research programs were stopped. So that if you had records of herring migrations, annual herring catches, the natural history of spawning habits, historic range of the species, etc, from 1750 forward, the record would have a gap in it, beginning around 2008 and continuing today. But someone could still pick up Humpty Dumpty's pieces and try to fit them back together, because all the files were there, stored away in perpetuity. And at some future time, when people who realized what a loss it was came back in power, it could be pieced back together. So Harper had trucks load up all the historic records and haul them away to the landfill. Then he held a giant book sale, to get rid of all the books in the libraries. And the ones that didn't sell also got hauled away to the landfill. So now we have nothing much, from that whole endeavor. It's gone. Obviously someone in the Ag Dept felt the same way about Sanet. Sustainable agriculture, to them, was a threat to corporate agriculture-- a threat the government has no business propagating. So it's time all the old files were magnetized, and their electrons sent back out into the ether. Since Trump has been president, this kind of thing has been happening behind the scenes in every department. Labor has been gutted. Commerce has been gutted. Even State has been gutted. Because the forces that now reign decided long ago, that if they ever got into power they would destroy it so completely no one could ever put it back again. These are the times we live in." And never forget how a drunk on the exxon valdez wiped out Alaska's herring industry. Herring for Americans, it has little or no heavy metals unlike most table and canned fish on the market. How is it that filthy rich greedheads and crazy politicos are able to do these things to our country? -- Lawrence F.
