Few corporations in the world are as loathed—and as sinister—as Monsanto. But the threat it poses to people and planet could be reaching new heights, as the World Health Organization has recently upgraded Monsanto’s main product as carcinogenic to humans. With protests against the agrochemical giant held in over 40 countries in May, learn why the global movement against Monsanto is of critical importance to our future. In this episode of The Empire Files, Abby Martin issues a scathing expose on the corporate polluter, chronicling it’s rise to power, the collusion of its crimes by the US government, and highlighting the serious danger it puts us in today.

I despise Monsanto. They had a plant locally for 30 years and every single worker died of Cancer or similar diseases. My Father was an Analytical Chemist at Monsanto for 30 years & a non smoker, who lived a healthy lifestyle yet died of Lung Cancer. I think that he was the last of the workers to survive.
I’m so sorry to hear this, Ali. Condolences on your father’s death. And to all the other workers’ families at the plant.
Laurels to the E F team, great work Abby!!! this is a cogent summary powerfully presented.
The corporate monster must be brought down (…I actually wrote this before I heard her concluding words…) It is the ‘lynch-pin’ of the entire structural behemoth. This is the rotten core of the sickest, slickest con-game yet devised.
When something this diseased has such a pervasive criminal hold, no matter how superficially ‘wondrous’ and irresistible its fabricated appearance & iniquitous political ‘authority,’ the spectral run-away illusion of benign control is destined to peel away, degrade rapidly & disintegrate. It is only a question of time. When this vile contrivance collapses, a lot of big, ugly heads will roll and the stench of their demise will encircle the globe.
Watch this space America, their sleazy number’s up, and if you have any sense you’ll stay clear of the wreckage. To hell with this gremlin Monsanto and all the despicable crony villainy it incorporates.
Excellent commentary, David, as always. For those who garden, it is very difficult to buy plants that are not from seeds by Monsanto. This “evil” corporation has bought up organic seed companies all over the US. And of course, they want into Europe. Defeat the TTIP and TTP!
Yes indeed Lo! It’s been complicated here by our referendum debate blurring the core universal issues, but the EU Commission did “succeed” insofar as it has failed to re-license glyphosate…
