40 Tons of GMO Crops TORCHED in America, Media Blackout

Though the controlled corporate media apparatus is suppressing the story, 40 tons of GMO crops were torched, prompting an FBI investigation. There has been a complete media blackout. It was only reported locally live on KXL Radio and echoed by the Oregonian, where the ONLY web mention exists, hard to find because the headline wording carefully avoids the most likely keywords for a search.

Here’s what happened — 40 Tons of GMO Sugar Beets were set ablaze in Eastern Oregon. FORTY TONS — the entire acreage of two full fields of crops in the ground were set ablaze over a three night period of time. That means arson.

Evidence is that 6,500 plants were destroyed by hand, one plant at a time. That, in turn, implies a lot of people were involved. Would you want to stick around once a fire was going and wait to be discovered? No, someone (many someones) probably wanted to move as quickly as possible. We are talking about a movement — and this is exactly the kind of retribution that many have warned was coming; when lawmakers and corporations refuse to honor the Constitution and instead engage in ‘legalized’ criminal acts such as enabled by the ‘Monsanto Protection Act.’

More than a decade ago, environmental saboteurs vandalized experimental crops across the country in a revolt against high-tech agriculture. Foes of genetic engineering also struck in 2000, when members of the Earth Liberation Front, with roots in Oregon, set fire to agriculture offices at Michigan State University. ELF’s position was that genetic engineering was “one of the many threats to the natural world as we know it.”

I don't know why the blog says torched when the news article they reference says uprooted.

The farmer got screwed. Monsanto got paid.

Media Blackout? Not exactly.

Of course! It was in the Argus Observer!



I hadn't heard a thing about it prior to the article in the OP, either.

Then don't buy his product rather than attack him.

We're being guinea pigs for GMO products. I have no sympathy.

 

[FrankRep]

The farmer is allowed to use Monsanto seeds if he wants, it's not illegal.

This is destruction of private property and the arsonists need to be punished.

I remember when liberty activists used to care about private property rights.

What's legal or illegal nowadays means nothing. It's morally bankrupt.

Don't buy the farmer's product. Destroying his private property is not the answer.

 

[Warrior_of_Freedom]

Don't buy the farmer's product. Destroying his private property is not the answer.

Companies buy it and put it as ingredients in their food. Since it's been made impossible to know the source of all the ingredients in products you can't just boycott it. I don't know anyone who actually orders sugar beets direct for home use.

Monsanto does not give one fuck about private property rights and so I have absolutely no sympathy for anyone who chooses to associate with them.


they are plain evil. they have used laws and governments and teams of lawyers to screw countless small family farmers and those who would stand up to them..

as far as I am concerned everything Monsanto can burn.

Only certain people are allowed to have Private Property Rights.

Interesting view of Liberty.

alright, Frank.. keep that rigid type of thinking.. it will really help you in this world..

and keep defending Monsanto and calling it defending private property rights if it stops the pain that comes from critical thinking.

I'm defending the farmer that had his private property destroyed.

Ron Paul believes in liberty as long as yours does not harm others. Treating mankind like a science experiment is not liberty.

 

[Seraphim]

This. Monsanto and it's farmers have destroyed the lives and property of many.

At this point, it's self defence. Not offensive attack.

What he had was not private property. Farms that use the GMO sugar beets are heavily subsidized. That farmer took stolen money from taxpayers to create food that is toxic. The tax dollars are taken from me by force. That alone is 100% wrong. In addition to the money being stolen from me, they are using it to poison the food I eat. That is an act of aggression. I cannot use the court system to protect my rights either as the laws and regulations protect the very groups that are seeking to due me harm.

This^^ A lot of other good points in this thread as well. I would add that GMO plants also pose a cross-pollination threat to neighboring farmers who don't want to grow frankenfood. This is one of those rare uses of private property that can't be justified by any rational means, as it inherently infringes on others' rights. Perhaps Monsanto and the other GMO people could grow their stuff in biodomes of some sort.
