After receiving today’s Alliance for Natural Health Action Alert, I will grant Big Smother a few points for creativity, but enough is enough. I really think some binding magic is in order for biotech behemoths. On the more mundane level, perhaps this petition? Calls to John Deere? Keep in mind that Monsanto already owns the weather.
When you combine owning all the data on weather, plus all the data on what gets planted where, when and how well it yields, this move positions Monsanto into the all-seeing eye, top of the pyramid. Yet another reason to grow, save and trade your own heirloom seeds and perennial veggies, as well as learning how to forage in unsprayed local areas.
As devastating as an EMP would be, at times like these I wonder if it’s the off radar solution. No pun intended. Ted Koppel’s “Lights Out” book brings awareness of EMP’s to mainstream readers. Preparing for that would require exponentially greater levels of community preparations and paradigm shifts, but seriously, when I consider how much the “elite” rely on A.I. and electronic data gathering in order to push control, I really do start thinking, “alt, delete.” Even with no EMP, the less we rely on Big anything, the freer we are. Thoughts to ponder as you read/take action on the info below:
Monsanto’s Spy Software to Control the Entire Agriculture Market
We must stop this attempt to create a new and potentially even bigger monopoly. Action Alert!
Monsanto recently reached a deal with Deere & Co. that could dramatically alter the US agricultural market, and not for the better.
John Deere, the world’s largest producer of agricultural machinery, agreed to purchase Monsanto’s Precision Planting LLC equipment unit. As part of the deal, information on crops contained in Monsanto’s FieldView software app, used with the equipment, will send continuous information back to Monsanto. Monsanto will know which farmers have planted which crops, and where.
Importantly, Monsanto has similar deals with two other top producers of similar agricultural machinery, CNH Industrial NV and Agco Corporation.
As Dr. Mercola brought to our attention and astutely points out, access to this information imbedded in farming equipment across the country will give the company “unprecedented insight into market yields of any harvest before anyone else, and this information could allow [Monsanto] to manipulate and reign supreme over the commodities market.”
This is an outrage. The government has done everything in its power to grant Monsanto a monopoly over the seed industry. Now, these technology deals could give Monsanto another monopoly—this time over agricultural information and, through that, the commodities market.
Action Alert! Write to the Federal Trade Commission, the Department of Justice, and the Commodities Trading Futures Commission, and tell them they must act to stop this outrageous expansion of Monsanto’s monopoly power. Please send your message immediately.
