Monsanto Found Guilty of Chemical Poisoning in France
Tuesday 21 February 2012 by: Anthony Gucciardi, Natural Society | Report In a major victory for public health and what will hopefully lead to other nations taking action, a French court decided today that GMO crops monster Monsanto is guilty of chemically poisoning a French farmer. The grain grower, Paul Francois, says he developed neurological problems such as memory loss and headaches after being exposed to Monsanto’s Lasso weedkiller back in 2004. The monumental case paves the way for legal action against Monsanto’s Roundup and other harmful herbicides and pesticides made by other manufacturers. In a ruling given by a court in Lyon (southeast France), Francois says that Monsanto failed to provide proper warnings on the product label. The court ordered an expert opinion to determine the sum of the damages, and to verify the link between Lasso and the reported illnesses. The case is extremely important, as previous legal action taken against Monsanto by farmers has failed due to the challenge of properly linking pesticide exposure with the experienced side effects. When contacted by Reuters, Monsanto’s lawyers declined to comment. Monsanto’s Deadly Concoctions Farmer Paul Francois was not alone in his quest to hold Monsanto accountable for their actions. He and other farmers affected by Monsanto’s deadly concoctions actually founded an association last year to make the case that their health problems were a result of Monsanto’s Lasso and other ‘crop protection’ products. Their claims were also met by many other farmers. Since 1996, the agricultural branch of the French social security system has gathered about 200 alerts per year regarding sickness related to pesticides. However only 47 cases were even recognized in the past 10 years. Francois, whose life was damaged by Monsanto’s products, has now set the powerful precedent in the defense of farmers. “I am alive today, but part of the farming population is going to be sacrificed and is going to die because of this,” Francois, 47, told Reuters. It is also important to note that Monsanto’s Lasso pesticide was actually banned in France back in 2007 following a European Union directive that came after the ban of the product in other nations. -------------------- I am everybody...and everyone that I know is me...and everyone that I know...won't see....I could have been a dreamer...I could have been a shooting star...I always could have been a dreamer...'cause dreams are who we are...~ Ronnie James Dio (R.I.P. 2010)

wow!!! major fault finders are these guys who have the nerve to claim that Monsanto did anything wrong. they merely want to provide unlimited amounts of food in the world to cure starvation. there is no better way to do so then by controlling all the seeds and creating gmo crops so that farmers are not left to spoil the art of growing where the goverments and private corporations can do a clearly a better job.
next thing you know, people are going to think that jews from space populated the world at the beginning times and the present day jews are trying to call upon their space relatives when they pray to God to ask him to come here and kill all the Palestinians. When will the nonsense stop? I am glad that at least the GR crew is here to stop public opinion against companies like Monsanto to make it clear that conspiracy theory is utter nonsense and actually governments work with corporations to make the world a better place to live. The sooner all them Palestinians are dead the better by the way. -------------------- I am everybody...and everyone that I know is me...and everyone that I know...won't see....I could have been a dreamer...I could have been a shooting star...I always could have been a dreamer...'cause dreams are who we are...~ Ronnie James Dio (R.I.P. 2010)

NIce post Homer. Bill Hicks was somewhat ahead of his time in terms of political and social humor. His ability to cut through the topics of consumerism and the superficial nature of politics and the media was very intense and most likely was the reason he never became really famous. One could see him doing his own show on cable now like John Stewart or Bill Maher, but he died too soon in 1994. He wrote this about himself in his last few weeks of life, to be released to the public after his death, and it appears at the end of the film. "I left in love, in laughter, and in truth and wherever truth, love and laughter abide, I am there in spirit." So Bill Hicks is often here, spitting truth to power, through many a thread and post. -------------------- "It's not how many times you draw breath that counts in a lifetime, but how many time something takes your breath away."

NIce post Homer. I'm very glad you enjoyed that, Kali. Hicks is still doing his thing even after his demise. Now, that's a hard act to follow.
