An Article Profiling Monsanto: A Company That Is Responsible For 500,000 Birth Defects Yet It Remains in Business

Monsanto corporation was founded in 1901 by a man with quite a peculiar history, John F. Queeny. Queeny was born in Chicago in 1859, not much else is known about his early years except for him being heavily involved in the early pharmaceutical industry and him leaving school at an early age due to the Great Fire. Count of Venice Don Vittorio alleged that Queeny was a member of the Knights of Malta, an order of Knights dating back to the 11th century.

One year ago, thousands of farmers covered the same march route to protest the import of a "gift" of seeds from Monsanto. The farmers burned some of the seeds, calling them a "death plan" for peasant agriculture.

Last spring, in violation of Haitian law, the Minister of Agriculture gave the agribusiness giant Monsanto permission to "donate" 505 tons of seeds to Haiti. The first shipment of 60 tons, reportedly of maize and vegetable seeds, arrived in May 2010. Some of the seeds were coated with a chemical (Thiram)[1] so toxic that the EPA forbids its sale to home gardeners in the U.S.. Monsanto announced its $4 million gift was "to support the reconstruction effort" in Haiti.

How you 'feeling?'

How are the Obama voters feeling?

Pretty good. Thanks for asking.

Feeling good about the massive run of major bank failures not seen since the 1930s that President Obama helped us avert.

Feeling good about pulling back from the second Great Depression that economists were 50-50 on the country sliding into after Bush's disaster. Thanks in part to the stimulus.

Feeling good about the stock market soaring from the level it was at when Bush left office. Stock market gains generally pre-sage hiring by about 9 months (historically), which we're now starting to see turn around. Feeling good about that.

Feeling good that 30 million people who would be walking into emergency rooms getting really expensive care that the rest of us would pay for are instead going to be on health insurance, where they can be treated more efficiently, more effectively and with less fear and suffering to them.

Feeling good about my country no longer being loathed and disrespected in the world in general.

Feeling good that the man who's been directing a terrorist network, but Bush bizarrely stopped caring about, has been found and neutralized.

Feeling good that we finally have a man in office not paid by oil interests and therefore able to talk honestly with Americans about the fact that we cannot drill our way out of foreign oil dependency.

Obama killed Usama

via Matt Parker at TP "Incredible that Republicans are falling over themselves ignoring Obama and instead offering obscene praise for George Bush and his "role" in taking out bin Laden. Bush's "role" was actually to delay this accomplishment by years because of his incompetence and obsession with the costly disaster in Iraq. Bush did nothing..."
