The 666's are in the seeds: Monsanto drags over 400 U.S. farmers to court over GM seed patents

 (NaturalNews) Agri-giant Monsanto, not satisfied with being one of the world's largest agricultural corporations, is dragging hundreds of U.S. farmers into court over alleged copyright violations for repeated usage of the company's patented seeds.

In a case that has surprised a lot of observers, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear one of these complaints on Feb. 19. That case, Bowman v. Monsanto Co., was billed as a landmark battle pitting farmer Vernon Bowman against the international Ag-giant over the former's repeated use of seeds he bought from Monsanto which the company says are only supposed to be used for one growing season.

In advance of the case, The Huffington Post reported, the Center for Food Safety and the Save Our Seeds campaigning organizations released a report detailing similar cases.

Price of seeds have skyrocketed

According to that report titled "Seed Giants vs. U.S. Farmers," which readers can view here, Monsanto alleges seed patent infringement in 144 lawsuits against 410 farmers and 56 small farm businesses in at least 27 states, as of January of this year.

Combined, Monsanto, Syngenta and DuPont hold more than half - 53 percent - of the global commercial seed market, which the groups claim in their report has led to a massive increase in the price of seed: Between 1995 and 2011, the groups say the average cost of planting a single acre of soybeans rose a whopping 325 percent, while corn seed prices climbed a staggering 259 percent.

A Chinese Group Plans To Construct A 200 Acre “China City” In Michigan

A Chinese group known as “Sino-Michigan Properties LLC” has bought up 200 acres of land near the town of Milan, Michigan.  Their plan is to construct a “China City” with artificial lakes, a Chinese cultural center and hundreds of housing units for Chinese citizens.  Essentially, it would be a little slice of communist China dropped right into the heartland of America.  This “China City” would be located about 40 minutes from both Detroit and Toledo, and it would be marketed to Chinese business people that want to start businesses in the United States.  Unfortunately, this is not just an isolated incident.  In fact, Chinese companies have been buying up land and businesses all over the country in recent years.  There has even been talk of establishing “special economic zones” inside the United States modeled after the Chinese city of Shenzhen.  It was inevitable that the Chinese were going to do something with the trillions of dollars that they have made flooding our shores with cheap products.  Now they are rapidly buying up pieces of America, and many of our politicians are welcoming them with open arms.
The town of Milan, Michigan is a small farming community of only about 6,000 people, but big changes are coming their way.  The following is from a recent Dayton Daily News article about this new project….

Michigan governor clears way for state takeover of Detroit | Reuters

 
Michigan Governor Rick Snyder cleared the way for a state takeover of Detroit, declaring that the birthplace of the U.S. automotive industry faces a fiscal emergency and that he has identified a top candidate to assume its management.
Friday's declaration by the Republican governor virtually assures that the state of Michigan will assume control of Detroit's books, and eventually decide whether the city should file the largest municipal bankruptcy in U.S. history.
Detroit has faced the steepest population decline of any major American city in recent decades. Once the fifth largest U.S. city and springboard for music icons such as Michael Jackson and Diana Ross, it now ranks 18th in size with about 700,000 people.

Universal Preschool: Just Another Unnecessary Program From Government – Patriot Update

Written on Tuesday, February 26, 2013 by Tad Cronn

President Obama’s recent push for “universal” preschool should worry parents everywhere.

Not only is it an effort to further remove children’s development from the control of their parents, but there’s little reason to suggest that it could provide any real benefit to the kids.

When have you ever known a government program, particularly when it comes to education, to work the way it is supposed to?

Economic Freedom Vanishing In America – Patriot Update

 

The latest edition of the Heritage Foundation’s Index of Economic Freedom has been released and the news is not good for America. In fact, according to the 2013 edition of the Index economic freedom is vanishing in the United States. The Heritage Foundation defines economic freedom as “…the fundamental right of every human to control his or her own labor and property. In an economically free society, individuals are free to work, produce, consume, and invest in any way they please, with that freedom both protected by the state and unconstrained by the state.”

Obama's Pentagon Report Wrong, Deceives American people

More of Obama's creative accounting -- paying with the lives of dead American soldiers. It is so reprehensible as to border on treason. Of course this outrage is not met with media criticism. More proof that the elites are at war with the American people.

They used this fallacious report to laud Obama's failed pro-Taliban policy. The entire report is false. They are now caling it a "regrattable error." Yes, I am sure. The Pentagon report that is now pure fiction cost the American taxpayer $160,000 last year. What it cost in American lives is incalcuable. But green on blue attacks have never been higher.

Farrakhan Recruits Chicago Gangs as ‘Soldiers’ of Nation of Islam

Monday, 25 Feb 2013 07:15 PM
By Michael Mullins

Louis Farrakhan, the controversial leader of the Nation of Islam, spoke to thousands of followers in Chicago Sunday, addressing gun control, praising President Barak Obama’s re-election, and outlining a proposal to enlist the city’s warring gangs to “protect” the Islamic organization.

Farrakhan, 79, told 7,000 followers he plans to reach out to Chicago’s gang leaders and enlist their services to “protect” the Nation of Islam in the future.

“All you gang bangers, we know you love to shoot, but you’re killing yourselves,” Farrakhan said. “All your weapons are illegal and you’re using them like savages.”

Farrakhan suggested that such “gang bangers” are “natural soldiers” and when given proper instruction, they could be taught “the science of war” to protect the Nation of Islam.

The statements were reportedly made shortly after Farrakhan repeated his calls for blacks to pool their money and purchase as much land as possible, DNAinfo reported, as a way to “control means of production” necessary for survival.
On gun control, Farrakhan told his supporters that national lawmakers were using Chicago’s violence epidemic to mandate stronger gun control laws.
He argued that the Second Amendment had nothing to do with the high homicide rate in Chicago this past year.

“The guns that every one of our young people have, are they legal? No!” Farrakhan said.

Farrakhan called Obama’s re-election a significant historical milestone and went on to warn those in attendance that Obama’s victory does not guarantee prosperity for black people.

Farrakhan blamed the death of Libyan president Moammar Ghaddaf on American and European governments. He said the governments viewed Ghaddafi as an “impediment” to their access to natural resources in Africa.

Farrakhan went on to suggest that the American government also wanted to see black leaders, like himself, go away.

Mario’s note:  Pray for Obama’s media Teflon to be removed and for the nation as a whole to repudiate his agenda.  It is the frenzy on the part of the left that has emboldened Farrakhan to make such inflammatory remarks. Pray for our nation in the critical time for true revival to come and  avoid civil war.
