Monsanto Faced with Paying 7.5 Billion Back to Farmers
Monsanto may soon be forced to pay as much as 7.5 billion dollars back to the farmers who say that the mega corporation took their rightfully earned income and taxed their small businesses to financial shambles. It all started with a monumental lawsuit launched by over 5 million farmers against Monsanto looking to recover financial losses from ridiculous seed taxes that bankrupted many families.
Back in April, a Brazilian court ruled that Monsanto absolutely was responsible for paying back the exorbitant amounts of cash back to the farmers, ordering the company to issue back all of the taxes collected since 2004 — a minimum of 2 billion dollars. Afterwards, Monsanto appealed the decision and the case is now suspended until a further hearing is initiated by the Justice Tribune of the local court stationed in Rio Grande do Sul.
Recently, however, the Brazilian Supreme Court declared that any decision reached in a local court case should apply nationally. The result? Monsanto now faces even larger charges, due to the larger legal application on a national level. Now, the charges total or exceed 7.5 billion dollars.
“The values involved could total 15 billion reais ($7.5bn),” said the Superior Tribunal of Justice on its website.
Lawsuits and criminal charges continue to hit Monsanto, scratching away at the financial foundation of the agricultural behemoth. Monsanto has been found guilty of chemical poisoning in France after their weedkiller product led to neurological problems, and the company has even dished out 93 million to victims of toxic dioxin. As Monsanto continues to be slammed with lawsuits, many of which are from multitudes of affected farmers and individuals, awareness spreads among the general public regarding the corporation’s true acts.
It was this same corporation that was caught running what has been labeled slave rings, in which workers were forced to work for 14 hours per day or more cultivating the fields and were not permitted to leave. Monsanto’s crimes are slowly coming to light, and the public is demanding action.
human DNA is already being altered with vaccinations! injecting poisons mixed with animal proteins directly into the blood stream causes DNA to change not to mention all the other problems vaccinations cause. but that is besides….yes the poisons of Monsanto are killing us and contributing to a plethora of mutations in every life form. people who know the truth must spread it and not be silent.
Vaccines are in no way associated with development of autism. The timing of childhood vaccinations and the most common age of onset of autism coincide, which led to an initial concern for a causative relationship. This was shown not to be the case, in neither new or old vaccine formulations.
I know it's not proof, but there are court cases where the verdict is different than what you say. There are also many doctors that will not vaccinate their children, or only do a very few of them. Then there's the SV40 virus scandal in the polio vaccines, in which the vaccine was continued even after it was known to contain the virus. I'm not sure where you got your information that "this was shown not to be the case" regarding autism, because reputable studies have shown both that there is and isn't a causative relationship. There really isn't hard proof for either argument. Do you have better ideas as to why autism is skyrocketing, especially in countries with the highest rates of vaccination? It could be something else, but the numbers match up directly.
Hi there! Where did the facts from this come? I can't find any sources besides this article
You can find this stuff about monsanto in Brazil, Poland and France on almost every news website.
Do you work for Monsanto?
What proof do you need? Let me know i'll get it for you.
*Sigh* The sources are in the article, do you not understand how hyperlinks work? All of the sources are highlighted in, "blue," known as hyperlinks, click on said highlighted words and you shall be redirected to their source.
You are welcome.
Good news. I am sick of this monster. America has to do something to control these creations. They keep leaping over the waters and causing more harm than good. Throwing money at or suing anything in their way. It's about time politicians worldwide set an example of what happens to corporations like these.
AMEN! BROTHER
Goliath is losing a foot! 🙂 Great news but more work to do as this monsanto monster will continue!
